Daily trips to the Dry Tortugas via ferry and seaplane from Key West.
Imagine traveling 14 feet underwater where sharks, stingrays and giant sea turtles swim so close, you'll feel like you can reach out and touch them. With over 1.2 million gallons of water, this aquarium features a 300-foot-long curved tunnel, complete with a moving walkway that simulates a scuba diving adventure without getting wet.What does it feel like to touch a real shark? Find out at Starfish Beach--and take "The Plunge" virtual submarine ride. With over 4,500 living sea creatures, see why Underwater Adventures, located right in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, was voted "World's Best Shark Encounter" by Discovery's travelchannel.com.

Expensive but it's fun and fascinating for the kids to walk beneath--and be surrounded on all sides by--turtles, rays, sharks, and colorful fish. They do offer an annual pass if you plan to visit often.

Strollers are a burden once on the moving walkway. It's not too far to carry the baby. Kids LOVE the up-close view of the sharks.

I think the price for this event is way too high. It makes it hard for people to really enjoy the "adventure". The kids do like it though. It is very interesting to walk under the fishes.
