Public Aquarium in Orlando

I am visiting Orlando for the next couple of days. Is there a nice aquarium in Orlando, FL that I can visit? All suggestions are appreciated.


Thanks!
Eric

Here is where to go. It's in Tampa about an hour from Orlando right off of 1-4.

If you're going to be able to transport anything back with you, check out Sea in the City Sea in the City. It's a fish store, not an aquarium (though I enjoy it almost as much). If you can't bring anything back with you, don't go, it'll just be depressing. They usually have some really nice stuff.

As for aquariums, yeah, I guess Sea World certainly qualifies! I can't think of anything less theme park, though.

Seaworld is awesome, but a little pricey to get in. but you get to see a lot more than just fish.
