Hi all,
I'll be in Miami and from there driving to Key West during Thanksgiving holidays. Can anyone give me any suggestions of some good LFS or Aquarium in the city or on my way to Key West?
Thanks!

If it is in Key West. Believe me you will find it. The island is about 2 x 3 miles, if that. It will probably be near the southern most point...it seems like everything is around there.

If it was any other weekend I would meet up with you but I have family coming in from LA and Cape Cod.

Probably the best LFS in Dade/Broward county is Reef Life. It is located in Broward off of Stirling and Ravenswood. About 5 minutes from Ft'Lauderdale Airport. If you have the time I would suggest that shop. If you need any other info let me know. Good Luck!

Great link K9!romain if your not a certified diver I would do some snorkeling trips as the reefs in the area are very nice I would just get a wet suit of at least 3mm to stay warm.There is probably 30 different snorkel trips available.Maybe call and see if they will rent you a suit at the tour places.

If you're going to be in Key West you should check out Looe Key for snorkel/dive trips. The boats leave from soemwhere around MM 35, Big Pine Key I think, just before Key West.

Thank you guys, I really appreciate your wonderful information.
I just make the reservation in Nassau House which is located at 1016 Fleming Str. I'll also take part in the Glass Bottom Boat and Dolphin Trip through a hotel package. Sure, I'll check out Looe Key for snorkeling trips.
Any advice, welcome!

Ditto. Reef there is much more amazing than Key West I should say.
