TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. â The new Tarpon Springs Aquarium is a bigger, wilder, wetter experience where kids can pet sharks and feed alligators.
Located just a few minutes away from its old (and much smaller) home at the Sponge Docks, the aquarium is interactive at almost every turn, starting with the huge stingray touch tank just inside the door. There s finally room for people to move! says Paige Konger Henry, aka Aquarium Girl, whose family has operated the Tarpon Springs Aquarium for decades.
