The Moat in Sarasota as they combine their aquariums with boat trips.

The Tampa one is great and definitely big. I am pretty sure they did have boat trips available but have never been.

Thanks folks. Think Sarasota is too far to drive so we shall stick with Tampa

Clearwater Marine Aquarium if you've got kids that have seen "A Dolphin Tale" and want to see Winter. If not don't bother, it's only small, I think they do a boat trip too but there are lots of things to do with the film (visiting where scenes were filmed, watching Winter use her man made tale etc). That's why we went really and the kids loved it, as did we but then you know the saying "happy kids happy parents...

my Dad and his wife (who hadn't seen the film) not so much!

The Florida Aquarium in Tampa is fantastic, lots to see and do - if weather is hot there is also an outdoor water playground that my kids loved.
