Immerse Yourself in Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters
Marathon offers multi-generational visitors to the middle Keys an immersive experience with reef fish, invertebrates, stingrays and even sharks without having to go out in the ocean.
As a hands-on, interactive learning center, the unique attraction strives to inspire visitors about the importance of marine conservation and provide both education and discovery about the fragile and complex underwater habitats in the Florida Keys.
The signature feature is a coral reef exhibit and shark habitat housed in a massive 200,000-gallon interconnected saltwater aquarium for viewing. In-tank participants can immerse themselves to hover over a mock coral reef structure and interact with tropical reef fish, a variety of rays and other coral-dwelling marine species that are part of the in-tank ecosystem.
Other interactive aquarium encounters include shallow touch tanks that feature starfish, conch and horseshoe crabs as well as to allow feeding de-barbed stingrays and docile baby nurse sharks.
Aquarium Encounters - Marathon, Florida Keys
Assortment of vids featuring the various exhibits at Aquarium Encounters in Marathon, compiled from two separate trips. At Aquarium Encounters you're able to get up close to the critters and feed nurse sharks, sting rays, Rex the African Spurred tortoise, and even swim in the coral reef tank with all the tropical fish. It's not a huge and flashy place, but if you're in Marathon you love ocean life (and tortoises....and turtles....and alligators as well, as they have baby and juvenile alligator displays...) then it's worth checking out. The two times I've been there were during the summer/off season, so it was pretty peaceful actually, though during Season it's much different from what I was told. The back end of the property runs alongside the water, so you can watch the boats go by as well.
(Update: I am just so glad I made the effort to go down to the Keys when I did for Memorial Day and July 4th and got the footage that I did [of which contributed to this particular video compilation], overriding the intellectual resistance to not go due to holiday traffic. Because little did I know at the time that the Keys were going to be devastated by the end of the summer by hurricane Irma. :/ It's a travesty watching vids here on YouTube of the devastation, including places that I'd visited and favorite scenery that I enjoyed driving by, and seeing all the homes destroyed and people's lives in ruins. :/ )
Just another note that YouTube flagged my video with Includes Copyrighted Content......because a song that Aquarium Encounters was playing overhead while I was recording at 38:29 - 39:53 called Things That You Love by Pepper through The Orchard Music on behalf of LAW Records is now in this - non monetized - video. I disputed the claim, citing that it was in the public domain, I didn't have control over the song being played at Aquarium Encounters, and again, I'm not out to make money off this vid, or anything on my channel. Didn't matter. They want to be like that, and uphold the copyright dispute for no logical reason. Meanwhile InGrooves was cool enough to release the copyright claim on the other song that appears in the background of this vid. So, that was nice.

Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters concrete tank pour
Flash back!!
Before 200,000 gallons of water flowed through our glass walls between the predator reef tank and coral reef tank, we needed a foundation! This timelapse shows the pouring of concrete for our largest tank here at the aquarium. No tiki huts, no walkways, no fish! Here's a behind the scene peek at the building of our tank!
Sunset Grill Marathon, Florida Keys almost five months after hurricane Irma
Please watch: Florida Keys Turtle Hospital in Marathon Top Ten things to do on vacation in the Florida Keys
--~--
Sunset Grill in Marathon, Florida Keys is a very popular spot among tourists and locals alike. They are one of the very few restaurant/bars with a pool. Great food! Great partying to be had here! They were open for business a month or two after Irma; however, it took a bit longer for them to get the pool and restaurant seating area around pool ready. Their dock was destroyed but now they have a beautiful new dock!
Sunday is a popular day to go to the Sunset Grill. They call it Sunday Funday with live music all day long and a great buffet!
