1 / 3Clearwater Marine Aquarium
đ Clearwater Beach, FL
Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a working marine rescue facility housing bottlenose dolphins, rough-toothed dolphins, harbor seals, and more.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids aged 4 and up, particularly those who have seen the Dolphin Tale films. The rescue-and-release mission gives visits an educational dimension beyond standard aquarium visits. School-age children engage most deeply with the animal stories and rehabilitation process.

âFun day trip, priced a little higher than expected however the money goes into rescuing animals, getting them healthy and returning them to the wild.â

Overview
Clearwater Marine Aquarium rescues and rehabilitates marine animals - many residents are non-releasable animals with ongoing care needs. Current residents include bottlenose dolphins Star and Squirt, four rough-toothed dolphins, and three harbor seals in a newly renovated habitat. The Tales of Winter exhibit is a fully immersive walk-through celebrating the rescued dolphin from the Dolphin Tale films, including real prosthetic tails and movie props.
