Boat tours, animal care experiences and behind-the-scenes tours will add at least another hour to your day.  Clearwater Marine Aquarium is an indoor/outdoor facility with air-conditioned areas inside and open air outside. Enjoy the views of Clearwater Bay from the harbor view deck and stranding deck.

Very educational for children, adults and seniors. Heartwarming to see how well the animals are taken care of from their specific diets to their social time. Just loved it 5 years ago before the new facility was built. Loved it even more this visit. Easy to get around the buildings. From blind turtles being fed and nurtured right thru to the seahorse we seen, our experience was fabulous for the four of us (my husband and I, 73, who are seniors, our daughter 43 and granddaughter 18 a college freshman). Highly recommend for any family, any age to experience this rescue facility

Oh my goodness !!! I have been to Clearwater Marina Aquarium before when I lived in Clearwater. This was our 1st family vacation with my husband and 2 bonus girls. The staff is over and beyond helpful and polite. I absolutely love visiting here and seeing all of the animals !!!! But seeing Winters area empty was so surreal and made me tear up Prayers to everyone that had the pleasure of working and being apart of her life for 16 years

It was very emotional to see so many beautiful animals rescued and generally mistreated by the same humans but also beautiful to see that there is another part of humans that give so much love to rescue these wonderful beings, it is good that there are people like you

Always entertaining and inspiring! Staff does a great job helping to keep you informed and oriented.

Wonderful staff and exhibits. Recommended for all ages; especially for marine wildlife lovers.
