Clearwater Marine Aquarium
Why Scout picked it
Plan for a 2-3 hour visit here to see marine life, including the inspiration for 'Dolphin Tale'. Expect to spend around $35-50 per person on entry, with options for additional experiences. This can be a primary activity for a family day out or a stop during a longer weekend trip.
