St. Lucie County Aquarium 25th Anniversary - FREE ADMISSION

To commemorate 25 years of discovery, the St. Lucie County Aquarium is hosting a community celebration on Saturday August 22.

Admission to the Aquarium will be free all day, and from 10am – 1pm there will be interactive educational activities, crafts, St. Lucie County’s Rec & Roll, and opportunities to meet scientists from the Smithsonian Marine Station.

Since opening in 2001, the Smithsonian Marine Ecosystems Exhibit at the St. Lucie County Aquarium has served as a dynamic educational hub for local residents, school groups, and tourists.

Far more than a collection of fish tanks, the Exhibit features living, dynamic displays that model six distinct Florida ecosystems across the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. With interactive microscopes, focused aquaria, and a hands-on touch tank, visitors can experience life underwater firsthand – no snorkel required!
