They do a poor job of putting up signs for their parking. It is the least obvious where the parking is. The other parking down the street (241 parking) is most obvious because of the signs they put up that say aquarium but don't be fooled. Even though it says aquarium parking, it is not the aquarium parking at all. This other parking lot will put up signs throughout the day for different things/events and charge more. It's a trick. The official aquarium parking should do a much better job at putting up signs to direct their customers to the actual official Florida aquarium.

You pay $10 for all-day parking. After driving around for a while, I finally found a spot so I could go to the aquarium. Parking for the cruise ships customers use this lot also so it makes it harder for the aquarium customers to park .

I feel funny posting a review for a parking lot but it’s a block away and the driving directions are different than for the aquarium. It’s easy enough to get there, plenty of spaces, and an easy walk to the aquarium. At this time the price is $10.

We are pre-paid but there are lots of stations to pay for parking and it is an affordable option. The issue is when the aquarium is busy this lot is often full, busses will take up five spaces rather than park in the bus area.

A long walk to aquarium, still partially under construction, parking fee becomes flat $10

The parking lot is helpful when visiting the aquarium of course...but so is the covered parking garage. I wish the gps would've taken me to covered parking since it was available. It's 1000 degrees. No shuttle. Also....extremely loose security measures if any.

Took a chance on finding parking here vs the garage across the street. Lots of folks coming and going during the lunch time hours during the week and was able to secure a spot within 10 minutes. Lots of kiosk around the lot and even at the entrance of the Aquarium to pay the $10 fee.

Reasonable rates for sheltered parking, especially for shorter visits to the Aquarium and surrounding area. Easy pay stations.

Nice parking lot, $10 to park, pay gate attendant. Close to the aquarium. Under construction and still had old exit signs up so went in circles a bit.

Great experience for the whole family. Beautiful jellyfish exhibit!

It was just eh. It was right by a port for cruise ships. It felt tight & not enough space. It was under construction as well when I went. I’d recommend going when it’s less busy.

Loved looking at the different things, they were all beautiful. Cool inside & interesting

Very convenient near the aquarium. It has a flat rate per day and the nearby garage parking lot has hourly rates

The aquarium is nice. Parking was not good when we visited. Parking lots were all full--so we needed to find other paid public parking. Plan ahead for Parking and plan extra time.

Didn't see or have any issues but my children say it was a great day to go because it would not be busy.

So yeah. I guess they don't know the Octopus, especially big ones that need to swim. The suction themselves to the glass bc I think they are hoping we will get them out. How can you keep arguably the most intelligent animal on the planet, in a box? In the wild they go 1000s of Mike's a year They also are so smart, they are definitely smarter than the je5kkoff that put a huge octopus in a tiny cage. It can not even swim They are I believe the only being on earth that has nothing that came B4 it. It's the OG animal here on earth. All you need to do to see some of their amazing, funny, intelligent, mischievous little guys, is go type up octopus shenanigans on YouTube. You'll want to picket this place. Just let the guy go free. Hes not happy. Maybe we should see if you all like boxes.?

The official parking is very compacted, so you have crazy parking lot around, this is the Port Tampa Bay parking, they charge for $60 one time parking, ridiculous.

Had to do three laps around the parking lot to properly access the entrance. Pay parking is easy enough but a nuisance. Lot was quite full at mid day during the week.

Lots of spaces but hardly any good way to get to the aquarium. Would be nice for families to have a trolley like at Bush gardens

Way to small to accommodate all the visitors on the weekend. They really need a parking garage in this space. Otherwise, it may be time to move the entire facility to an area offering more room for current needs and future growth.

Great experience with my family. Everyone was friendly, great customer service. A lot of options to pick from in the gift shop. I loved that we were able to buy our family picture at the end.

A great place to park for a visit to the Aquarium. Then leave your car and take free trolley to Ybor and/or Downtown

Absolutely rediculous, the parking lot was full, bit instead of putting a sign at the entrance to go somewhere else they let everyone que to tell them they're full. 20 minutes of traffic jam for nothing.

Our first time there was great! Better tasting food in the food court area would be nice though.

Nice parking lot close to the Aquarium. Easy in and out. Friendly staff

We had a nice time. I thought the place was bigger, but it was big enough. The kids can't wait to go back and to me that says it all.

The official aquarium parking lot, which has a simple ticketing system but can get crowded on weekends.

Used to own a tour business. And on several occasions I made an attempt to schedule the aquarium in for a trip. Not once did we make a trip. And now I know why! I was never so disappointed and visit. All the aquariums we're dirty very difficult to see through a lot of fish, jellyfish, starfish. The biggest disappointment I believe with the fact that in order to see the dolphins you had to pay extra to go on a boat ride there were no sharks. I could say more but I don't want to make it sound too bad.
