Clearwater

How many celebrity dolphins have you met? Get ready to add a name to that list, with a ticket to Clearwater Marine Aquarium. A rescue center for marine wildlife, Clearwater Marine Aquarium is home to Hope, who played herself in the hit Hollywood movie _Dolphin Tale 2_. Get to see Hope, and learn about some amazing success stories of animal rescue, rehabilitation, and release.

Hope shares the stage with a host of other beautiful creatures, including sharks, otters, rays, eels, sea turtles, pelicans, and more. The emphasis is on educational wildlife encounters and animal welfare over cheap tricks, so real animals lovers can visit with a clear conscience.

Clearwater was also the home of Winter – the famous dolphin who was given a state-of-the-art prosthetic tail after losing her tail in a tragic crab trap line tangle – until she sadly passed away in 2021.
