There are some duplications, but worth a peek.

I suspect that nothing compares to Sea World, Busch Gardens or Animal Kingdom, but they are likely to be far less busy.

We've been to Miami Zoo
Lovely Zoo. Animals have lots of space-good day out.
Parrot Jungle
Good half-day trip if you are tired of the beach-bird shows and pretty tropical gardens
St Augustine alligator farm
Crocs & Gators. Not big but masses of gators, some of them so big it would scare the bravest!
Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa
Good half-day+. Animals have so much space it can be hard to spot them but zoo is very well kept and pleasant.
Theatre of the seas on the Keys.
Tiny compared to Seaworld but a good half-day for a chage from the beach.
Clearwater Aquarium.
Very small but interesting. Is a rehab place rather than a conventional aquarium.
Key West Aquarium
Good hands on for children. Masses of tropical fish. Nice to get out of the sun for a while.
Safari Park near Naples
DD has been. said it was good fun but the smell from natural springs was awful.
Gatorland, Kissimmee.
OK if you are killing time but wasn't really keen-mainly because all the guard rails were at a height that anyone in a wheelchair couldn't see a thing.
That's all I can remember at the moment-will have a think!
