In Cleawater you can visit the Clearwater Aquarium, that's where the dolphin with no tail lives, her name is Winter. It's very entertaining because it's not like a regular aquarium . This aquarium is a rehab center so most of animals are returned to the ocean . They have aquaruims with fish to view and lot of what they do is for conservation so you can learn a lot there, it's very informative . They also offer boat trips into the ocean to view dolphins in the wild and to catch fish for research . Again very informative and interesting. We thoroughly lived it and the staff was very informative and knowledgable which is not always the case when you visit these places . If you are lucky they will be performing a surgury while you are there , they have an observation window so you can watch .
There is also a great aquarium store located in Venice Florida, he has awesome stuff there. He is located on the main drive in Venice, FYI Venice is not a very large city . So far he has the best selection that we have seen and we try to visit all the aquarium stores or attractions everytime we are there.
I am going back down on Dec. 22 so I can look into some other attractions if you want .
