There is a reason why the Florida Aquarium has won so many awards. The exhibits they have set up are truly special and original. In particular, they are lauded for their Florida exhibit, however little kids will likely be most enthralled by seeing the penguins up close (they bring them out of the exhibit to interact with visitors).
