Description

Visit Clearwater Marine Aquarium to learn about all of the rescued and resident animals. Catch some of the daily presentations and make sure to watch the daily programs in the theatre. 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. Discover a variety of animals including dolphins, pelicans, sea turtles, otters, sharks, and other animals.

The majority of residents cannot be released due to a variety of reasons, so you can visit them in their permanent habitats and learn their stories. See a number of animals currently undergoing rehabilitation in the working animal hospital. The presentations and talks throughout the day aim to educate you in a fun way about the work going on to take care of marine life and the environment.

"Help support the mission of helping injured sea life!"

Reviewed February 08, 2025 NEW

The aquarium's commitment to rescuing and rehabilitating injured sea life as a non-profit organization is truly commendable. Negative reviews often stem from visitors who anticipate a large, for-profit commercial aquarium focused solely on entertainment. I encourage everyone to support this vital mission and contribute to the well-being of the animals.

"Dirty dingy Not worth it"

Reviewed January 27, 2025 NEW

Not much there. Displays were dirty and dingy. There just wasn’t anything there to justify the price of admission. Could hardly see the sharks. Can only see through one window. We stayed about an hour and saw all there was to see.

"The manatee exhibit was closed and the main viewing tank was cloudy and not viewable."

Reviewed January 15, 2025

The manatee exhibit was closed and the main viewing tank was cloudy and not viewable. There is not much to see or do at Clearwater Marine Aquarium and it is a disappointing experience. They would not refund my admission of $39.95. It was a waste of time.

So fun and interesting! Loved watching the dolphins and learning about their rehab process. The turtles and otters were cute too!

"Great Aqua Lanterm Exhibit and overall visit"

Reviewed December 26, 2024

We went to Clearwater Aquarium and always enjoys our visits there. We enjoy visiting the resident animals and good to see they are slowly recovering from the Hurricanes. Always educational and great to see the love they have for the resident animals. We decided to stay for the Aqua Lanterns exhibit and is is fantastic. Looking at them in the daylight does not do them justice when the sun goes down and they are turned on and a added bonus was several of them moved. Food was fantastic as always at the grill
