It was my wife’s and my first ever trip to Daytona. We really enjoyed ourselves to the fullest! I apologize but I can remember the nice girls name that was helping people hold the baby alligator. But she was very informative and attentive! She deserves a raise and knows how to treat guests! The facility was very clean and all the animals looked great and healthy!!!! I highly recommend this aquarium as a must see if you are vacationing! My visit was on 7/23/26 and I will definitely be back for another visit!

We had such a great time at the Daytona Aquarium! The facility itself was very clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. There was a great variety of exhibits that kept both kids and adults entertained. One of the highlights of our visit was the educational animal presentation led by Ashlee. She did an absolutely adorable and engaging job introducing everyone to a massive cane toad named Jolene and a bearded dragon named Bingo. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made learning about the animals fun and interactive for the audience. The aquarium offers so much more than just fish tanks. We loved the stingray touch pool, seeing the monkeys and exotic birds, exploring all of the colorful aquatic exhibits, and even having the opportunity to pet a baby alligator! There were plenty of hands-on experiences that made the visit memorable. Overall, the Daytona Aquarium provides a fun, educational, and family-friendly experience. If you’re looking for something to do in the Daytona area that combines entertainment with learning, this is definitely worth a visit.

Wonderful aquarium and rainforest exhibit! Not terribly large but great use of space. Lots of exhibits and educational information. Definitely recommend paying the $5.00 to feed the stingrays!! You get a cup of little fish and the stingrays will come suck the fish right out of your hand. You can also touch the starfish. The aquatic side was very diverse and wonderfully put together. We loved the rainforest side as well! We love watching the tamarins! The sloth was sleeping but he right where we could see him. It was awesome seeing a toucan up close too! We highly recommend whether you’re an animal loving adult or want to take your kids to see and learn!

Pricey for a small aquarium. It was clean and nicely laid out the Rainforest section had some cool animals like sloths and rare monkeys. The aquarium had a nice variety of saltwater and freshwater fish. The anemones were beautiful. They have large space for kids parties. The live show where you can pet the animals and was educational. The alligator was cool. Petting pool with stingrays was fun for kids. Great way at to spend an afternoon. Staff were super nice.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit there in a relatively new facility. The aquarium’s were not huge, but many small ones with Three or so larger ones. A wide variety of animals in a comfortable and clean settings. A new baby tamarin, otters unique frogs, terrapin, Gator with many fish and other creatures including a sloth. Signs with info are clear and give you a good summary of each type of animal. There is a touch tank, gift shop and you can feed stingrays. There are a few discounts available for seniors, military and FL residents. I would recommend it for kids and everyone. We came on a Monday and it was not busy. We even met the owner! He said they were planning on adding an aviary at some point. Check it out!
