About Clearwater Marine Aquarium

The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a rescue hospital first and an aquarium second, home to animals like Winter the dolphin from Dolphin Tale. Every resident was rescued and cannot be released, making each visit a chance to see rehabilitation in action and support wildlife conservation.

Local Legends & Stories

Winter the dolphin became an international symbol of hope after inspiring the film Dolphin Tale, drawing visitors from around the world to see her at the aquarium.

Must Do Experiences

Watch veterinary procedures through viewing windows as keepers treat and rehabilitate rescued animals. Meet Winter the dolphin, whose prosthetic tail inspired the film Dolphin Tale, and learn about her remarkable story. Explore interactive exhibits featuring sea turtles, otters, pelicans, and rays, each with detailed case histories.

Hidden Gems

Read the case histories posted beside each animal to understand their unique rescue stories and ongoing care. Visit during feeding or enrichment sessions to see keepers actively engage with the animals. Check the daily schedule for behind-the-scenes talks that reveal rehabilitation techniques.

What Makes it Special

This is a true rescue hospital where veterinary work is visible through viewing windows, offering an educational and emotional experience.

When to visit for the best experience

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Overview

This is a hospital first and an aquarium second. Every animal living here was rescued and could not be released — dolphins with injuries that would be fatal in open water, sea turtles struck by boats, otters, pelicans and rays each with their own case history posted beside them.

That changes the tone completely. You watch veterinary work through viewing windows, follow rehabilitation in progress, and hear keepers explain what happened to each animal and what is being done about it. Winter the dolphin, whose prosthetic tail inspired the film Dolphin Tale, lived here for years.

The building rises over the intracoastal waterway with underwater dolphin viewing, a large turtle rehabilitation area, touch pools and a rooftop terrace looking out over the water toward Clearwater Beach. Boat tours head out from the dock to look for dolphins in the wild.
