Nice spot to kill 30 mins to an hour. 5$ entry free, a fair price to see the sharks in the backyard pool
Excellent place to bring the family! Loved Megamouth exhibit! Stay for shark feeding! Buy something in the gift shop! And don't leave without visiting the precious nocturnal screech owl! Shhh...
Incredible place to visit with my 8 yr old.
Sandoway is located in an historic restored home just across the street from the beach. Perfect place to cool off or visit during the rain. It's on the small side but is packed with great activities.
On the deck outside is a very friendly entertaining macaw parrot, a friendly box turtle, more turtles, a tortoise, and tabletop sandbox fossil dig for $1.
The first floor has beautiful aquarium setups with incredible corals & creatures. There's a microscope lab room with guided discovery booklets for each grade level. There's fossil displays, shark teeth displays and aquariums with small sharks, alligators & snakes.
Outside is a manta ray touch tank & a tank with three big nurse sharks, bat rays and a big puffer fish. Check website for feeding times. The handler is entertaining and shares an incredible amount of shark knowledge during the feeding. *** There was a 10 yr old birthday kid there who was able to assist and feed the sharks. We were told that the feeding opportunity is avail for big kids with a signed waiver. Must call to reserve a space for training in advance. ***
Upstairs is a kids room with books, stuffies, models, etc with an outdoor observation deck, a nocturnal room with possum and owl and the SHELL MUSEUM. The shell collection has specimens from all over the world and is super organized in pull out drawers that even a 2yr old was able to access. As an avid shell gatherer, my kiddo was mesmerized by all of the beautiful examples.
We had a blast and stayed for 2hrs. Well worth admission.

Small but interesting. The sharks in the backyard are fun to see. The shell room is beautiful. Take your time there and appreciate what is on display.
There are not enough words to say how much I enjoyed this place. There were replicas of fossilized shark jaws. So many of them. There was a beautiful shell Gallery upstairs with shells from all over the world. I was so envious. But the best part was seeing the nurse sharks being fed. And learning a great deal about some of the native sharks to the state of Florida. This is a definite place to go if you are in Delray. Wasn't just educational but was greatly entertaining.
