The St. Lucie County Aquarium is Fort Pierce's premiere aquatic and marine life museum facility, anchored around the beautiful Smithsonian Marine Ecosystems Exhibit, which was transferred to the care of the aquarium in November 2000 after its retirement from the prestigious Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The stunning 3,000-foot marine exhibit is home to an unparalleled model of a living Caribbean coral reef ecosystem, the first of its kind to be presented to the public. While at the aquarium, visitors can also peruse more than 5,000 additional gallons of marine life exhibits, dedicated to recreating the habitats and marine life of six Florida maritime and estuarine ecosystems.
