- Connie HJuly 10, 2017Great 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 HarmantasMay 3, 2013Loved 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+Upvoted Nov 1
- Khrystal K. DavisMarch 12, 2016You 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 RacerMarch 18, 2015Lots 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 MillerApril 6, 2015Great staff!!!!! You get to hold one of Winter's tails. Great educational experience. Not a typical aquarium so it is great for learning.
- Paula SchuckOctober 24, 2017Loved 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 BatesMarch 21, 2019Has 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 WakefieldAugust 14, 2019The 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!
- jcerAugust 9, 2013I 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 CoffeyOctober 19, 2013This 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 OttJune 14, 2015Loved seeing winter and hope! Such a heartwarming place to be and learn about! Took a behind the scenes your and learned a lot!
- K SJuly 14, 2017You 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 MasucciMarch 2, 2015The 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 ClearwaterNovember 12, 2012Home 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 DAugust 26, 2015Take 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 IngramFebruary 12, 2013To 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 NewmanMarch 31, 2015Don'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 KimbrelMay 31, 2013Purchase 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 FavoriteDecember 31, 2017Nothing 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 WalkerSeptember 11, 2014Winter 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 AngeliApril 7, 2014Definite 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 JammerJuly 30, 2011While 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 McFarlandSeptember 10, 2013What an amazing place to learn about helping animals in need! I've been to aquariums but this place is unique and wonderful!
- Hannah SlothowerOctober 14, 2012Cool 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 FerriDecember 22, 2014Great family fun and educational. Just watch if the weather is bad as there would be less access to exhibits.
- Jean HoeghAugust 1, 2012Beautiful 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. :))
- 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 / ClearwaterJuly 1, 2013Visit Winter, the moviestar from Dolphin Tale! Post a picture of your best dolphin face with your check-in and include #WhereSummerRocks.
- I love this dolphin. What an incredible experience. A must-do in Clearwater!
- Jill BarnesApril 3, 2012Park & 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 DexlerDecember 19, 2016Bring tons of cash here and spend lavishly. All money goes toward helping animals.
- Bjorn OlsonMay 31, 2011This 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.
- Aimee MarryApril 10, 2013Great rescue, rehab and release Aquarium. Friendly Volunteers and Employees working here for a great cause!
- Biz TraveldudeJanuary 7, 2018Nice aquarium and expanding since the success of the movie Dolphin Tale
- Dakota HastingsMarch 13, 2014You 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 MartinalJune 2, 2011We did the eco combo and it was amazing!!!! My whole family had a great time. Ages 11-55 thought it was great!!!!
- Linda ReidMarch 22, 2012Very 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!
- Chris BendsenJanuary 25, 2015Not 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 ZieglerSeptember 3, 2012Great 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 JohnFebruary 18, 2014The aquarium is wonderful, however they are building and expanding so be advised.
- The stingray touch tank is downstairs. They're so smooth and friendly!
- Ask about the reciprocal memberships that let you visit other attractions around Tampa Bay for many great outings.
- Dan PelkoJanuary 5, 2013Bogo.
