Explore our Gulf Coast waters and enjoy some of the biggest wow moments at Mote SEA.

On the Gulf observation deck on the second floor, turn the pages of an enchanted book on the adventures of Mote’s founding “Shark Lady.”

Then venture down to the first floor to watch large sharks, rays and sea turtles glide over your head in our centerpiece 400,000 gallon Gulf habitat.  Touch and even feed our stingrays, and explore Mote science on an interactive globe.
