Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, one of the best museums in Florida, allows you to get connected with our aquatic world through a love of shells and the animals that create them! The only museum in the United States dedicated solely to shells, you’ll learn about the diversity of shells and the mollusks that call them home. Found on Sanibel Island, this is one of the best things to do near Fort Myers. See exhibits featuring shells of Sanibel and Captiva, shells from around the world, and shells in architecture and art. You can also see record-breaking shells including some of the biggest ever found! The newest addition, an aquarium gallery, hosts living mollusks like fighting conches, cuttlefish, and the Giant Pacific Octopus. Children especially love the two 15-foot long touch pools, so you can get up close and personal with the mollusks! Daily programming includes shell crafting. Unlock your creativity by making different animals out of shells. There’s even a take home kit, which makes a great gift. You can even participate in a scavenger hunt to test the knowledge you’ve learned with prizes for all who complete it!
