USA Today has again named The Florida Aquarium one of the top 10 aquariums in the nation as part of USA Today’s 2025 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
The downtown Tampa aquarium ranked No. 8 on the list, marking the seventh time and fifth consecutive year it has earned the national recognition.
It was the only aquarium in Florida to be honored this year.
“This is more than just a win for The Florida Aquarium – it’s a win for Tampa Bay,” Florida Aquarium President and CEO Roger Germann said.
Selections were based on excellence in visitor experience, conservation efforts and education.
