New Audio Tour
Experience what makes Clearwater Marine Aquarium unlike any aquarium in the world with a new audio tour, included with admission.
A self guided audio tour available in both a children’s version and adult version sponsored by BayCare, helps you connect intimately with the rescue stories of the resident animals and brings to life the important mission of rescue, rehab and release education and inspiring the human spirit.
The children’s version (recommended ages 5-12) led by Eco-Ranger Mary takes kids on an exciting adventure around the aquarium, and includes an original rescue song that will be sure to delight any kid whether they are a budding marine enthusiast or just here to have fun for the afternoon.
Adults have their own audio tour and can experience the incredible rescue stories of our resident animals with their own version of the tour sponsored by BayCare.
Look for the audio tour devices available when you enter or ask for one at Guest Services on your next visit.
