Mote Marine Aquarium / Sarasota
The nice thing about a visit to Mote Aquarium is you don’t have to put on a deep sea diving suit or get into a research mini-submarine to see “out of this world sea-life.” Mote Aquarium is open 365 days a year and that makes it pretty convenient when trying to plan a vacation schedule. There are some great exhibits including a 25-foot...well, wait...
