About

An 80-foot glass dome covers the wetlands trail at The Florida Aquarium in Tampa, and ring-tailed lemurs look out over it from Lemur Lookout. The river otters on the trail below can stay underwater for up to eight minutes. The Wild Dolphin Cruise goes out on weekdays only, on a 72-foot catamaran from the dock by the Outdoor Plaza.
