Florida Oceanographic Coastal Science Center

This center is great for kids who'll be mesmerized by the four 300-gallon tropical-fish aquariums, a worm reef and touch tanks with crabs, sea cucumbers and starfish. There's an excellent menu of guided tours and nature programs, from guided nature walks at 10:15am (except Sundays) to daily stingray feedings to summer sea-turtle-spotting expeditions.
