Tampa: ZooTampa & The Florida Aquarium Combo Tickets

Explore Tampa's ZooQuarium combo at your own pace with a general admission ticket to The Florida Aquarium and ZooTampa.

Getting started

Begin by using your general admission ZooQuarium combo ticket to enter either The Florida Aquarium or ZooTampa, in any order you prefer. Present your entry tickets at each gate and follow on-site signs to move from admission to the main exhibit areas. Switch between the aquarium and zoo on the same day or over separate days, based on the ticket conditions provided locally.

What to expect

The Florida Aquarium

This part of your ZooQuarium General Admission Ticket focuses on Florida's marine life and global ocean habitats. You move through indoor exhibits, then have the option to head outside for a boat-based wildlife experience.

Features

• Aquarium predators, turtles, jelly, fish, plus Wild Dolphin Cruise: Inside, you come face to fin with some of the world's apex predators, see eye to eye with sea turtles, feel a jelly bell, and take in hundreds of fish species before choosing to board the Wild Dolphin Cruise for a different kind of thrill ride on the water.
• Florida Waters exhibit with mangrove tunnel, jellies, otters, reptiles and amphibians: In the Florida Waters exhibit, you walk through a mangrove tunnel, explore a dedicated jellies aquatic exhibit, and see immersive habitats featuring otters, reptiles, and amphibians up close.
• Free-flying bird aviary and Macaw Flyover: While exploring, you step into a free-flying bird aviary where you may feel the cool breeze of air conditioning and the wind from passing birds, then look up to experience the rush of a macaw flying by at the Macaw Flyover.

ZooTampa

Your combo ticket also includes time at ZooTampa, where habitats highlight wildlife from Florida and beyond. The experience combines animal viewing with water-based fun and visible conservation work.

Features

• Safari experiences at ZooTampa including Roaring Springs, bongo habitat and manatee conservation areas: You follow safari-style routes through Africa-inspired sections, see a bongo resting in the shade, cool down on a 3-story splash down at Roaring Springs, and watch conservation in real time as you learn about the zoo's work to save manatees and other Florida species.
• Safari at ZooTampa, Roaring Springs, bongo, manatee conservation: Around the park, clearly marked areas bring you close to these key highlights, from the bongo habitat to manatee conservation zones, with opportunities to observe animal behaviors and educational displays about their care and protection.
