Zoos and Aquariums Aquarium

Clearwater Marine Aquarium

A working rescue hospital rather than a display aquarium - the dolphins, turtles and otters here are patients, and you watch them recover.

Cost Paid
Duration ~4h
Difficulty Easy
Setting Both

Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a rehabilitation facility that happens to admit visitors, and the difference from a conventional aquarium is the point: the animals are rescues, many are non-releasable because of their injuries, and the medical work happens in front of you. It became widely known as the home of Winter, the dolphin fitted with a prosthetic tail, whose story became the film Dolphin Tale. There are turtle and otter habitats, presentations through the day and a boat tour on the bay. It is the obvious answer to a rainy day or a red tide on this coast.
