Great place to visit, for all ages. Each exhibit is educational as well as entertaining. Staff is friendly , obviously dedicated to the well-being of the animals they care for. A gem in our community.

Kelly Harmantas

Loved our experience! Very educational , great for all ages, and goes towards such a good cause! They have group discounts if you think it is too expensive - $11.95/adult for groups of 10+

Khrystal K. Davis

You must visit Winter & Hope from the Dolphin Tale movies . The team at CMA is amazing. They care for animals and people with special needs. Our son's visit with Winter was a dream come true.

Ski Racer

Lots of fun. Definitely worth while if you have kids who loved the Dolphin Tale movies . Get there early to see the Dolphins before crowds! Make sure you've seen both movies , it will add to the trip!

Kim Miller

Great staff !!!!! You get to hold one of Winter's tails. Great educational experience. Not a typical aquarium so it is great for learning.

Paula Schuck

Loved this visit so very much. Look for Hope and Winter. There are many shows throughout the day. This is an educational spot to visit. Highly recommend.

Cyndi Bates

Has construction on going. It’s not SeaWorld. It’s an actual working rehab center . So don’t expect big shows. But such a great place. Do the sealife safari. Such a great experience.

Terika Wakefield

The best thing here is Winter the dolphin! Winter is the star at the aquarium ! Her story has been live streamed and shared with kids & adults all over the world. She loves visitors, so stop by!

jcer

I was in a wheelchair and since it was packed it was really hard to move around. Was happy to support the marine hospital and the animals! Loved Winter, Hope and Panama!!

Matt Coffey

This is a working rescue operation and the money goes towards their efforts. Don't expect rides and cotton candy . But if your kids are curious and love animals.. Or just dolphin tale. They'll love it.

Sam Ott

Loved seeing winter and hope ! Such a heartwarming place to be and learn about! Took a behind the scenes your and learned a lot!

K S

You can get yourself and up to 11 guests in for free with active military ID. The aquarium is kind of small. Don't plan on spending more than a few hours here.

Lori Masucci

The family membership is very worth it if you are local. There are lots of local educational opportunities for free or half price on the reciprocal list.

City of Clearwater

Home of Winter the Dolphin from Dolphin Tale. The aquarium is a great destination for kids and adults alike. Check-In here to get 15% off the Winter's Dolphin Tale Adventure Gift shop !

Alina D

Take the trolley going to the other side (movie props) and take the shuttle boat back. Great aquarium for a good cause. Humans let's take care of all living beings!

Marilyn Ingram

To see Winter - just to see her - is worth the fee. The fact that she allowed herself to be helped, adapted to her condition and thrives - is inspirational and humbling. The conditions, artistic

Tracy Newman

Don't take the trolley or boat! If you take the trolley from the beach location to the downtown location, (or vice versa) you will be stick without your vehicle for hours!

Crystal Kimbrel

Purchase tickets online before you go especially if you will do photos or encounters . Expect to be there at least several hours if your with small kids they will love it!

Merab Favorite

Nothing like the FL Aquarium but tenants have more personality. This aquarium is more research oriented. It does not accommodate large crowds and is not stroller friendly . This pic was worth it:

Wendy Meyers Walker

Winter and Hope were nice to see. They are doing awesome work rehabilitating sea life . This is not a place to go if you are expecting shows or a set schedule.

Mark Angeli

Definite must do if you're in the Clearwater Beach area . The sea life adventure boat trip is a fun trip for the kids too.

Katzen Jammer

While this is a non profit rescue with only a few animals, it is worthwhile. Think of your membership and family trip as a donation and an education . Please place this on your must do list!

Breanne McFarland

What an amazing place to learn about helping animals in need! I've been to aquariums but this place is unique and wonderful!

Hannah Slothower

Cool place to get close to the animals. Foursquare coupon is not valid here-only used at the Dolphin Tale Adventure.. be warned. They won't honor the coupon even though there is a sign on the door

Jennifer Ferri

Great family fun and educational . Just watch if the weather is bad as there would be less access to exhibits .

Jean Hoegh

Beautiful place watching winter and the rest of the rescue animals are wonderful feeling,and the hard work that this workers and volunteers do is amazing. :))

Lisa Hill

This place is amazing!! Everyone is like a family here and they love what they do. Everything is dedicated to helping animals and the environment :)

Visit St. Pete / Clearwater

Visit Winter, the moviestar from Dolphin Tale! Post a picture of your best dolphin face with your check-in and include #WhereSummerRocks.

Jeremy Holland

I love this dolphin. What an incredible experience. A must-do in Clearwater!

Rebecca Bellomo

Great location and fun exhibits to enjoy!

Jessica Falco

Such an amazing aquarium ! Dolphins, turtles and Pelicans ????????

Jill Barnes

Park & start at Winter's Dolphin Tale Adventure then take the free trolley over to CMA. Parking is easier there and ticket lines are shorter

Moe Dexler

Bring tons of cash here and spend lavishly. All money goes toward helping animals.

Bjorn Olson

This is a non-profit dolphin rescue with 2 dolphins, 2 turtles , an eel and a few fish . Fine if you have a heart for that, but HUGE waste of money if you are wanting family fun.

Biz Traveldude

Nice aquarium and expanding since the success of the movie Dolphin Tale

Aimee Marry

Great rescue , rehab and release Aquarium . Friendly Volunteers and Employees working here for a great cause!

Dakota Hastings

You need to change nothing this is the best part of my vacation and I'm proud I say I'm going to love living here after the school year

Patti Martinal

We did the eco combo and it was amazing!!!! My whole family had a great time. Ages 11-55 thought it was great!!!!

Craig De Toma

There is a lot to do here. It is awesome.

Linda Reid

Very much worth the money! Fun place to learn and know that your money is going to a good cause and not just lining someones pockets!

Rebecca Kung

By far the best dolphin! Before movies was...Nicholas.

Justin Lisenby

Great experience. It’s small but fun.

Chris Bendsen

Not a great aquarium per set but they have the dolphin with the prosthetic tail from the movie . More of a marine animal rescue operation with presentations.

Shelley Ziegler

Great family place ! Not huge, but plenty to do for a few hours. I hate people who say its a waste of money....its not a zoo & your money goes to a good cause!

Christopher John

The aquarium is wonderful, however they are building and expanding so be advised.

Tammy Wilkinson

Everything. Best money I spent in a long time!

Jessica Prescott Johnson

The stingray touch tank is downstairs. They're so smooth and friendly !

Todd Lipsky

Everything was great. Love Winter and Hope .

Joseph Illingworth
