At Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory in Panacea, you begin to get a better sense of what’s really out there. We house a collection of seawater tanks and aquariums with water bubbles and swirling flows that sustain unique collections of the bizarre and the beautiful. Unlike most big public aquariums that emphasize porpoises and big fishes, we focus on creatures such as seahorses and hermit crabs, emerald-eyed spiny boxfish, electric rays and red and white spotted calico crabs, just to name a few of the endless living treasures of north Florida’s still shining coast.

Guests receive one complimentary admission per service, per unit. You can go free every day but only one guest per day. Additional guests pay full price.
