The Tarpon Springs Aquarium and Animal Sanctuary is a privately-owned aquarium located in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The Konger family opened this business on the sponge docks in 1990. It has since passed hands through the family and is now owned and operated by Grant Konger and Paige Konger-Henry. The brother and sister duo have moved the aquarium to a new location where they are constantly expanding and building new exhibits for animal acquisitions and rescues. The new facility opened in 2021.
