St. Lucie County Aquarium 25th Anniversary - FREE ADMISSION

Celebrating the St. Lucie County Aquarium's 25th anniversary on Friday, August 28, the Aquarium will offer complimentary admission all day. In addition, the Aquarium will open early and provide light refreshments to visitors from 9:00am – 10:00am.

Throughout the day, visitors will be able to join one of the ever-popular fish feeding tours (10:30am & 2:30pm) or a behind the scenes look into how the Aquarium’s ecosystems are cared for (11:30am & 1:30pm).

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!
