Tarpon Springs Aquarium, Public aquarium in Tarpon Springs, Florida.

The Tarpon Springs Aquarium is a marine life facility where visitors can observe ocean creatures like stingrays, sharks, crabs, and lobsters in tanks. The space displays tropical fish and invertebrates in aquarium settings alongside these larger animals.

The Konger family opened the aquarium on the sponge docks in 1990. Ownership passed through the family to Grant Konger and Paige Konger-Henry, a brother and sister who run it today. They moved the business to a new location, which opened in 2021, and continue adding exhibits for animals acquired or rescued.

The name comes from the tarpon fish that live in nearby waters and have long shaped this coastal town's identity. Visitors notice references to these fish throughout the facility and the surrounding area.

The facility holds scheduled reptile shows and feeding sessions that let visitors see the animals up close. It sits on North Pinellas Avenue and can be visited for a few hours on any day.

The collection spans far beyond fish: the reptile exhibits list alligators, crocodiles, venomous and non-venomous snakes, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, Chinese water dragons, Asian water monitors and basilisk lizards, while the mammal section keeps goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, horses and bunnies. A crocodilian resting open-mouthed on pale sand is among the animals a visitor can watch.
