Mote Marine Lab and Aquarium
The Mote Marine Lab and Aquarium of Sarasota is home to the only two trained Manatees in the world. But Hugh and Buffet were not the only reasons we wanted to check out this branch of the Mote Marine Lab. We visited the Lab on City Island in Sarasota, but there are also campuses in eastern Sarasota County, Boca Grande, and the Florida Keys. This campus can be found at 1600 Ken Thompson Parkway in Sarasota, Florida. With three little ones in tow, we were lucky to find a playground outside before heading into the aquarium. This allowed the kids to blow off some of that energy and excitement to prepare for their day of learning about marine life and the world around it.Check out their LIVE SHARK TANK camera!
