Konger Tarpon Springs Aquarium

One of Tarpon Springs larger attractions is the Konger Tarpon Springs Aquarium, featuring a spectacular living reef which can be experienced at all ages. With a 120,000 gallon tank it settles a home for more than 30 species of fish including snook, tarpon, protected Jewfish, bonnet head sharks and much more... The Tarpon Springs Aquarium is also the home to alligators, eels, lobsters, octupus, live coral, stringrays and anemones. The aquarium also has an entire room where you can safely pet and feed small sharks and stingrays!

Four times daily, a trained diver enters this tank and hand feeds all of its inhabitants. These 30 minute dive shows are narrated and very educational for both kids and adults. A trained staff member can also be arranged to provide you with a guided tour which includes tank feeding and demonstrations.

The Aquarium is open seven days a week and the admission is reasonably priced for venues of similar nature. The attractions are the perfect place for a family vacation. Children especially love to frequent the displays and interactive offerings the aquarium offers. There is an open showroom where children can play with the animals and feel creatures they have never felt before. The showing is supervised and creatures are harmless to the touch.
