02/19/2024 Turtle was found washed up on the beach in Daytona Beach, Volusia County.
02/21/2024 Due to overcrowding of many of the sea turtle rehabilitation facilities on Florida's east coast, FWC made the decision to transfer some of the animals to Mote for rehabilitation.
Throughout the month of March, Mote Aquarium experiences high daily visitation volume with many timed ticketed entry slots selling out. Guests are highly encouraged to purchase tickets in advance in order to guarantee entry.
Mote Aquarium is open seven days a week at our normal hours, 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. We hope to SEA you soon!
