About
The IMAG in Fort Myers packs a surprising amount into a mid-size space. Touch tank with baby sharks and stingrays, outdoor lagoon with live alligators, interactive science exhibits, and 3D theater.
About $14-18/adults, $10-14/kids 3-12. Under 3 free. Takes 2-3 hours. Combine with Edison & Ford Winter Estates next door.
Note: Fort Myers is on Florida's southwest coast, not near Gulf Shores. Solid attraction if you're in the Fort Myers area.
