Only been to the Florida Aquarium but that was great, loads to see and the kids had a great time. Got discount vouchers so wasn't too expensive, well worth it. Heard mixed reports about Clearwater but would like to hear from people who have been as staying in Clearwater next month and might go.

I ve been to the Clearwater Aquarium but haven't been to the Florida Aquarium however they were advertising it loads when we where there in May and it looked very impressive. The Clearwater Aquarium is ok but it looked small in comparison.

Is the Clearwater Aquariam not more of a Marine Life Rescue Center, hence Winter the Dolphin, I also think it depends mainly on Donations to keep going. Never been but the kids want to go next year after watching A Dolphins Tail.

Clearwater is lovely, small and friendly and the dolphin do a small display which feels more personal than big shows at SeaWorld as you are really close to them. Would recommend and the trolley bus ride to town is also included in entry price. You can always find free half price vouchers on line. Was really nice day when we went in May this year and Winter is so lovely.

We went to the Clearwater Aquarium last week. We got half price vouchers online. We had about 4 hours there and had a great time. It is more of an animal welfare centre than an Aquarium however they did some really good dolphin shows (like others have said they were a lot more personal than Seaworld). Would defintely recommend it there.
