Spent a few hours at the Clearwater Fl. aquarium today. It is an awesome little aquarium. Don't go thinking your going to see lots of kinds of fish cause your not, what you will see is Winter, the star dolphin from "A Dolphin's Tale" along with her co-stars. There are some other fish, sharks and sea creatures but the neat... More

If you are looking to "learn" about Dolphins and Sea Life, this is the place! It is NOT Sea World or anything like that. Here you get a "HANDS ON" experience. They have all kinds of interactions you can do (but you need to book ahead)! Wade With The Dolphins, Feed a Stingray, go behind the scenes and some other... More

We went on the boat tour that took you to an Island to look for shells. Somewhat of a disappointment as far as the shells go, I found more on the beach at my hotel than on this Island. The boat trip was very nice though, very informative, with a show & tell of some local fish on board that... More

Very intesting place to go for all ages . The price was reasonable , Lots of things to see and interact with. You get to see Winter that the movie Dolphine tales was about ,but you also get to see many different kinds of Marine life that have been injured in someway and how they are rehabilatating them and if...

We decided to add an additional day to our Disney World visit so that we could take our 5 year old to visit Winter The Dolphin. We arrived and found that the Clearwater Aquarium is definitely priced in an attempt to try to capitalize on the fame of the Dolphin Tale movie. For two adults and a 5 year old... More

This place is in the throes of being rebuilt and is a bit rundown but the way they rescue and rehabilitate sea creatures is great. Winter the dolphin is its most famous resident - so famous they made a movie about her rescue and her famous prosthetic tail. Such a heartwarming story and you can also visit some of the... More

After seeing the movie the day before in our hotel room in Orlando, both my husband and I knew right away we'd be visiting Winter! It was a long drive and traffic to get there was awful but it was all worth it. Yes the aquarium is a little old and could use some work but they are raising money... More
