We haven't been since the updating construction. This is such a beautiful space now, and wonderful that the integrated the old facility into the new. Added some outdoor spaces and beverage areas. The animals appear healthy, and happy. Love the new pelican area. Lots of parking, and currently they had a dinosaur 🦖🦕 exhibit that was really cute.

This is an awesome Aquarium. Remember it is a rescue aquarium. We took the behind the scenes tour. Olivia our guide was very informative. So much of what we saw was open to the public. But areas like the quarantine area and water treatment plant were off limits. The surgery room was being used while we were there. All the staff were great. There is a cafe there but we did not eat there. It was well worth the time to visit. The new addition is great.

I loved every minute of it. The dolphins were so cute and it was very informative. Make sure to attend the dolphin show. We went to the 2 o'clock dolphin show. Rudy did wonderful. I also pet stingrays and a dolphin came up to me so it was worth the money. I also love that all of the animals are rescued. I will definitely be back.

This is a small but cute aquarium. Lots of rehab going on which is awesome. There is a lot of outside area it's a little warm in summer. I also didn't realize Tampa aquarium and Clearwater are two different entities so I was a little disappointed in the size. The staff is very nice and helpful. You have to pay for parking. They offer different kinds of boat tours for additional fees which I will partake in at my next visit.

I was happy with what I saw at the aquarium. The Boat Ride was worth the money for the trip. I did expect it to be bigger, but while you are there, you learn it is a rescue location, so being smaller is a good thing! All the staff were friendly and helpful.

This aquarium is very well taken care of, especially the dolphins and otters, staff seems to take care of the animals, and they seem genuine and are very knowledgeable. They few activities for children. Helpful staff. It is definitely a great place to teach children how to take care of Mother Nature and learn a lot. Adult ticket $36 dlls per person.

Excellent excellent!! I had an amazing time with my daughter. Saw dolphins, turtles, sea otters, sting rays, nurse shark, fish, it was so much fun especially feeding the dolphins and getting our picture on our special selection of the photo with a dolphin, wonderful choices at the gift shop and even had an amazing place to eat. Spent hours here just walking around a couple laps. Even got to pet the sting rays. There were many other adventures we just didn’t have time to do them all

It is such a great way to spend the afternoon differently when you're on vacation with kids. We got the photo op with the dolphins, which means you can touch and feed the dolphins and take a picture with them. We were able to take ours with dolphin Nicholas. We also did the Dolphin Boat tour, we weren't able to see that many dolphins, but we saw about 4/5. They just hid immediately and we weren't able to take pictures. We also saw sting rays and a pelican during the boat tour. Some other cool animals are in the establishment, like sea turtles and sea otters. The food is also pretty good. I was expecting more fast food type, but it was actually decent. I highly recommend it!

Incredible incredible incredible!!! This location is absolutely outstanding, between the history here, the dolphins, otters and my absolute favorite sea turtles!!! This place was outstanding!!! Totally worth bringing the family, an incredible time can be spent here educating your family about all the wildlife. Just a great location here in Clearwater Florida, absolutely beautiful spot. And don’t forget to sign up for the dolphin tours. They took us out and we got to see dolphins out in the wild, this was incredible. When we got back we had some snacks, grab something cold to drink and viewed some more of the dolphin exhibit. The turtles in my opinion were the best thing they had to offer, of course I’m a little biased because I love sea turtles!!! This was also the home of Winter, the dolphin with the prosthetic fin. So the history here is absolutely Rich, the staff is absolutely incredible and just an amazing location to experience Clearwater !!! Bring the family and learn learn learn !!!

Very nice place to talk the kids and family. Dolphin show was spectacular. They have ample indoor parking and sell food inside. I enjoyed my time this aquarium however, i feel that the prices are too much for what they have to offer. Aquarium is a bit small, parking is not free and prices could be a bit cheaper.

Provided a fun couple of hours for our toddlers. I had been to CMA in 2012. The new additions to the facility are great, and I appreciated the educational opportunities provided. However, prices were a little high for the number of animals we were able to see/the amount of time we spent there. Most activities were additional costs on top of admission. We paid for stingray feeding, which was neat, but didn’t experience everything due to the cost. (I would recommend checking for coupon codes online and buying tickets in advance, as we were able to save some money doing this!) Some of the smaller educational activities were worn down/broken, but most were functional in some capacity. The CMA mission is great, and the volunteers and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The layout of the facility was a little difficult to navigate with a stroller (lots of switching around on elevators), but do-able. Overall, we had a good time (two adults and two toddlers)!

We enjoyed seeing the sea turtles and the dolphins, but the aquarium is very small with limited exhibits. We toured it in less than an hour. It is a bit expensive, but I'm happy they are there to rehab the marine life.

Wow stopped by this place after 20 years and what a change. Much larger facility and has much more employees. Compared to other forms of entertainment the prices are not bad. The restaurant was pretty good. Clearwater Marine Aquarium, located in Clearwater, Florida, is a renowned marine life rescue and rehabilitation facility. Focused on the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine animals, particularly dolphins, sea turtles, and otters, the aquarium provides a unique opportunity for visitors to learn about marine conservation. It gained international recognition through the story of Winter, a bottlenose dolphin with a prosthetic tail, inspiring the movie "Dolphin Tale." Beyond exhibits, the aquarium emphasizes education and conservation efforts to promote awareness of marine life and their habitats

We did the dolphin tour and aquarium visit. I am a bit disappointed in the cost and no discount if you’re doing more than one thing, but I also understand the money is going towards helping and saving animals. Also do not push the 3rd floor button, it is not level three! My suggestion would be to completely remove the three as someone in our elevator pushed it and it opened to the dolphin tanks. This place would be 5 stars aside from the cost and from Fernando in the touch aquarium. We were standing in line and he was explaining things in Spanish to this couple ahead of us about what everything was. We waited a few minutes and finally got to the touch zones once the couple left. As we were reaching to touch a crab, he rudely said we have to move along and go fast, even though he let the couple ahead of us stay there for a few minutes. We did not get to touch most things because he pushed us and the two groups behind us out as fast as he could. On the brighter side, we loved the dolphin tour! I forgot all three of the ladies names but they tried their best to show us wild dolphins and it was awesome! I loved the 360 dolphin tank and how the dolphins could freely go to any pool they wanted. Learning about the shark and why it was there was interesting as well! We saw a few turtles in rehab tanks too! Sadly the otter was sleeping when we came, but that’s okay! They have a food court area and a couple gift shops sprinkled around. For some reason we couldn’t find a map, so we got lost a few times but that was probably my fault. Definitely recommend coming as long as you understand the cost and why it is expensive!

Out of all the aquariums that I have ever been to this one is probably one of the most unique that we have seen. I will start up with saying that if you have a Florida Aquarium reciprocal pass the tickets are way cheaper and more affordable. Overall the aquarium was really nice and it was very interesting to hear all of the backstories of all of the different animals. They had tons of presentations going on throughout the day that we're very educational and informative. We especially liked all the sculptures that were made of recyclable materials. This Aquarium definitely is on the smaller side compared to ones like the Georgia Aquarium but I will say the fact that they do have a boat Safari tour that is really unique. The tour was 90 minutes and we really did enjoy the overall experience of it. We will say that when we got off at the little island that they take you to there really is not much to see there so we really did not see the point of that within the tour but it was nice to be able to stretch your legs. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and wants to answer all of your questions and we definitely appreciated that.

Very educational and amazing to be able to see all the rehab available to our wildlife. Was a little sad at the same time. Everyone was super nice and knowledgeable. Please keep up the wonderful work. Worth every penny paid and donated. Thank u.

Touching experience to see the dedication of rescuing marine life! Dolphin watching in the aquarium, reading about their evolution and seeing the friendly dolphin interacting with children was a joy to watch. Loved the boat expedition to watch dolphins in their habitat! Loved the whole experience !

WOW! What an amazing experience!!!! Very educational for us all as well! We went on Father's Day also and were grateful for the discount!! Easy parking...and totally worth the money!!! Izzy was so funny! She played with the kiddos and made us all laugh! We even got to pet stingrays!!!

I honestly thought this aquarium was just a 6.5/10. The staff was friendly, the dolphin show was mediocre, the beer selection was great but the food was just okay, the gift shop was huge, but the aquarium lacked all of the huge fish tanks with something other than dolphins. It seemed there was a lot of unused space under construction. It was worth the money since I got all of my tickets half off, but couldn't imagine paying full price and being fully satisfied.

I'm so glad my son and I finally got to go here. I've been wanting to go ever since I saw the movies Dolphin Tale 1 and 2. The narrated tour was worth paying for. Our guide was very informative and funny. I wish I could remember his name.

This was a cute place that let you see dolphins up close and learn about them. They offer special backstage passes if your into that. They also have a theater that you can watch short mini movies about dolphins and seaside. There is also a cafe located inside that one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The portion size was large and it fit the price A definite must see if you love wildlife.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium offers an unforgettable experience filled with educational opportunities and heartwarming encounters with marine life. From their dedication to rescuing and rehabilitating injured animals to their engaging exhibits and informative staff, every visit is both enjoyable and enriching. The interactive experiences, such as dolphin encounters, allow visitors to develop a deeper appreciation for marine conservation efforts while creating lasting memories. Overall, Clearwater Marine Aquarium provides a fantastic blend of entertainment and education for visitors of all ages, making it a must-visit destination.

If you or your children love dolphins, this is the place for you. They are a non profit organization and have a live hospital too. Their mission is to rescue, rehab, and release. The dolphins are amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this place. It’s worth it. For my parents and I to go it as close to $100 dollars but I say it was 100% worth it. They also have dolphin presentations. It was educational and fun to watch. We arrived at 1:50 pm and left around 3:50. Overall the experience was amazing! Thank you Clearwater Marine Aquarium!

It was fine. We got cheaper tickets through the MWR so it felt like a reasonable return on our investment. Nicely spaced exhibits allowed us to see each animal without having to be in a certain spot. The layout of the facility is a maze, making it feel disorganized and choppy. We weren’t given any guidance when we arrived but there are maps available if you know where to find them! The dolphin and turtle exhibits were the nicest, and the artwork was cool.

This is a must while visiting Clearwater. Great for the kids or a nice day date. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They offer experiences that you won't find often. You can play with the dolphins or feed the stingrays. We had a wonderful time!

This was the best experience ever Elizabeth and Evan were so nice to us and our entire family of five had such an amazing time we spent the entire day there and plan to spend the many more. We did the VIP dolphin experience and this was our first time here. We enjoyed the day so much it made our vacation. We were able to get up close and personal with Nicolas, Izzy, and Hope. They were so good with my kids and spraying Hope with water was a blast.

My family and I love this aquarium. It’s set up nicely and it’s super cool that it’s a rehabilitation center for marine animals. 🥰 I don’t have any recent photos, but I’m sharing some from when we visited back in 2021!

Cma is an amazing facility that’s worth the money and time! Went there in October and stayed the whole day. People who complain about not a lot of attractions don’t fully enjoy the aquarium If you just sit there and admire all the animals it’s amazing. Highly recommend visiting! staff and volunteers are amazing! It’s quite pricey but very worth visiting! :D

Lovely beach! Handicap accessible!!! It's a bit of a walk, and the bathrooms weren't super clean, but they were spacious, and staff was on-site to assist. Parking was easy and affordable!

Amazing! We had a little extra time and decided to check out this scenic park. After spending only $5.50 on parking for the day, we walked along the beautiful uncrowded beach. The sun was shining with the perfect breeze. Couldn’t have picked a better place or a better day. Watched a variety of birds enjoying the beach and ocean and there were many intact seashells for collectors. Restrooms were clean and we were able to hose off our sandy feet outside before returning to parking lot. Will definitely return. In fact, we noticed a nice hotel among the lovely condos where we may stay on our next visit.

Super nice beach! There’s not too many people here and it’s for the most part a very quiet beach! There were still lots of families so it is family friendly and there is a food truck as well. There’s bathrooms and showers as well which was nice. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins while being out there and you can see AND feel fish swimming around you sometimes too! I highly recommend! I was also able to find tons of cool seashells and watch the beautiful sunset.

This is a great area for a family beach day. They have a place to buy food and drinks and plenty of chairs and umbrellas for rent. The bathrooms are also close to the beach with outdoor showers at each location. They were clean and pretty well maintained. The sand was well taken care of, but the water was a little dirty when we were there. I don't know if the water normally looks like that or if it was weather related. While we were there, a sailboat got washed up on the shore. It was wild and happened early on the day. I attached a picture of it. I would definitely recommend this part of Clearwater Beach to anyone looking for a fun day at the beach with some amenities provided.

I always enjoy coming to this park. It is a favorite of mine. Clearwater beach is beautiful, but I am not a big food or alcohol person. I also don't care for the crowds or NYC priced parking and hotels. A local told me about Sand Key a few years back, and I rarely go to Clearwater anymore. This beach is roomier, has multiple easily accessible multi-stalled clean bathrooms, changing stalls, and outdoor showers. There is a food truck. You can also Uber food to you in the parking lot. I have done it. AND ALL DAY PARKING for $5... come and go as you please for that $5. And the beach is only a quarter of the beauty... There are playgrounds for the kids in shaded grassy areas. Dog parks available for those with furry friends. Walking paths that wind all around the 90ish acres. Let's see... picnic areas, tables, benches, on occasion a hammock, birds, shells, (you get the idea) All this and just a hop south of Clearwater.

I love coming here. $5 for parking until 8pm. Been here twice so far. Lots of cool shells. Decent bathhouses. Showers are okay.

$5 to park and easy to navigate the parking machine where you'll put the printed ticket on your dashboard. Restroom facilities are on site. The beach area itself is kept nice, but is very very busy - meaning if you're looking for a quiet/peaceful beach experience this isn't going to be it. Perfect for families with kids though. Would recommend another lowkey beach for locals.

Sand Key Park is one of our favorite local beaches in Clearwater. Wide open spaces, clear teal blue waters, conveniently located to shops, and relatively clean bathrooms. On a good day it's beautiful, on a great day it's spectacular. Nothing comparative to my home in Hawaii, but it's certainly close enough.

That park has all you need for your family and pet/pets. Dog park is well maintained and clean. Lots of areas with shadows from trees and covered benches. Located next to the beach where early in the morning and later in a day your pet can enjoy the ocean.

There are many pavilions with restrooms in them. The only real drawback is that there aren't any vending machines at least at pavilion 7 where I was for lunch. Parking seems ample and can be done electronically with Park Mobile. Vehicles do not sit in shade on the beach side as the majority of the parking lot only contains palm trees. This park is pretty darn huge! It would probably be a very good spot for coming to the beach. The beach is exceptionally wide in this location. The water seemed to be very fluid with no stagnant areas. If you bring everything with you snacks and drinks and such then you should be okay otherwise you may want to find a different location.

Beautiful beach, clean and easy access. Parking is $5/day til 6pm. The park closes at Sun down. It has play ground as well for kiddos to enjoy. You'll see basket in the main entrance going to the beach, to help the beach clean pick up trash. Food truck in vicinity, clean bathrooms. Plenty of parking spaces. The beach has many cracked shells so just pick the right area to hang out. It is very calm and at the end of the Key you can see Clearwater Beach (key).

This 95 acre park is at the northern most part of the Sand Key barrier island, a short hop through Sand Key Bridge up to Clearwater Beach, and 21 miles west of Tampa airport TPA. The parking at the park is $5 for the day. The amenity (list) includes outdoor showers @ Boardwalk #3, and #4 which is behind the bathroom and changing room. I only used the beach because I'm here for the 1.2 mile open water swim: it was fantastic!!! Our event has 167 swimmers. I car pooled with my friend. At 7am on this Saturday, the parking lot looks vacant. But by the time we leave, at 11am, there are still many parking spots. Not sure it has anything to do with the water temp hovering around 69°F. Some swimmers say they saw dolphins. I see plenty pelicans, and a few other water birds: Willets, Laughing Gull in breeding plumage, and American Oyster Catcher.

I love Sand Key Park. It's a great beach. Less crowded. They have clean restrooms and outside shower. There is a snack truck there also. Lots of sand dollars at this beach.

I work about 15 minutes from sand key park. When the work at the office gets overwhelming, I head over for a half hour salt air, wave washing reboot. It is such a great beach. So peaceful and beautiful.

Beautiful beach! Clean and great for families. Parking meter provided in the parking lot or you can pay via Park Mobile. There are picnic tables with trees for shade. Along the jetties side, there are more private spots with an open entrance and slightly covered with trees where you can fish and enjoy the scenery. There was a wedding when we went, that’s how beautiful the area is. Able to fish the jetties on the side. Caught pompano, blue runners, ladyfish, and Spanish mackerel. There were sheepsheads as well but we didn’t catch any. Just saw them by the jetties.

Beautiful! You can rent chairs and umbrellas, there’s a food shack (truck) lifeguard (not sure hours) baskets to carry with you to collect your trash, (newest idea ever!) bathrooms, pavilion/cabanas for parties/get togethers, does cost to park and I believe dogs aren’t allowed in the beach but elsewhere in the park is ok.

I love this place. The beach is amazing, the water is clear and during the summer is warm, perfect to spend a whole day with family and friends. The park has a good playground, restrooms, showers, dog park and picnics and events areas. Great access to the beach and affordable parking price ($5 per day)

Pelican Walk is a great little outdoor plaza along Mandalay Blvd. It's got a bit of everything for everyone. Great restaurants, bars, pizza, arcades, shops and a great parking structure in the rear. Located just across the street from the beach! All the eateries have open air seating and indoor seating and is completely wheelchair accessible with elevators located in the center of the plaza.

This area has something for the entire family. Eateries and a spot for the kids. Places to shop and get a cold drink when you're done. The only draw back is be cautious of the parking garage behind it. It is not cheap. In fact I think it may be the most expensive place to park on the whole island. Other than that this area had a great mix of things to do and places to eat.

Excellent place to eat good tacos. And gelatos ice cream. Also, for good cuban cigars just come by to this place. Excellent!!!

Nice area , lots of places to eat

Truly one of the best experience I ever had in my life I got a chance to meet the man the myth the legend hulk Hogan hell of a guy and so very humble

The brown boxer has great live bands down stairs. The food was good and service was on point. Definitely a great place to check out while in clearwater.

There are several connected shops here. Be sure to check the cigar bar. The outside area is very comfortable at the couches or stools. Brown Boxer has good food!! Hulk Hogan's shop is nice to browse and buy.

Intriguing store from the outside, and loaded from front to back with merchandise! A life size Hulk Hogan in front of the store draws attention! Once your in the store, it's all Hulk Hogan!!! Upon entering, the arrogant bald gentleman at the cash register won't even speak to you when asking a question to his face, but, the young lady workers will answer for him! What a face for a business, what an embarrassment!!! My biggest issue was, there's no prices listed on any of the merchandise which most of it is signed by Hulk Hogan! I definitely would've purchased a signed belt at the least, but, it was a struggle with the manager up front and they became busy rather quickly being such a small store! It just wasn't worth the time! A lot of merchandise is hanging higher than a normal person could reach! If you're a Hulk Hogan fan, you're in the right place, if not, walk on by! 🚶‍♂️💪

We brought our special needs nephew here as a birthday surprise. He loved it, we let him pick out a T-shirt and couldn't get it back to wash it.

Fun little area with shops, restaurants, bars, ice cream shops, cigar shops and more. Very touristy!

The only problem I have with the place is that the temporary supports holding up the balcony are still there after over a year.

Tate's is awesome and right on the beach. The beer is ice cold and the Blue Pearl is amazing. Get the rum rim!! Drew works the bar and us fantastic and local for great conversation and recommendations. He is fantastic!

Fun spot to visit on your vacation. Parking is a nightmare especially if you're looking for handicap spots.

So fun! We came for dollar night and you really can't beat the value. Parking was $3, everything else was $1. Food was good, especially for the price. I was surprised the place wasn't packed. Lines for the cheap food were pretty long but moved quickly. The game was good and it was just a fun, cheap night out with friends. We will definitely be back!

Nice stadium, was almost full for the Phillies and Pirates game. We were behind home plate, so great view of the game. The scoreboard placement was wonderful, but tiny compared to most stadiums. Parking was ok, about a 5 minute walk and $10 charge. Drinks were super expensive with lemonade at $8.75 and water at $5. Seats were $35. There wasn’t much shade, so be prepared to fry. They do offer plenty of free sunscreen stations. Plenty of food vendors and selection. It’s worth the visit to experience a game, but pretty tame compared to most stadiums.

This is a great ballpark to have a fun outing! While we were there for Phillies vs Detroit Tigers we do go to the Thresher games when we can! Always a good time! Lots of food options whether kiosk or brick and mortar. Several stores for team memorabilia and of course the Frenchy's Tiki Bar is always jammin and the world of beers counter next to souvenirs is always busy! Lots of ice cold lemonade available to buy! Fun ballpark to walk around! I could live here! Contrary to everyone's popular belief and they all think you have to turn right down one street to get to parking but secret go straight at light if coming from Tampa and turn right in next opening for Joe Dimaggio park and pay lot attendant there. Instead of sitting in traffic jam all trying to turn right at previous traffic light. It jams up the whole intersection and if you are running late you will park before 300 other people sitting back there to turn! Plus the lot attendant won't be bored. We brought her maybe 8 cars that decided they would follow us not knowing if we were going to the game or not haha but they lucked out we brought them to a completely empty entrance with person collecting money for parking. It is cash only I believe. Of course I had to check out the stores and not really wanting to buy anything I ended up buying a Phillies t-shirt for $8 and a jacket in pics for 24. You can't beat those prices!

What a fun day watching Phillies and Yankees. We were in the Berm area. We thought we were going to be standing but we sat in the grass which was so comfortable.

Clean park. Came to watch a philles spring training game. Bathrooms were clean. Local craft beer was cheaper than domestic beer. 2 craft beers, 2 hot dogs w cheese, and a pretzel for $20. Not bad. We also had pretty good seats to see everything.

Nice big stadium, with lots of grass space for families. Lines are always a bit long for food however the restrooms are well kept! All we need are more grass areas that have shade 👌🏼

Awesome July 3rd game celebrating Independence Day as always. Great game, great food & great fireworks show afterwards! 🇺🇸⚾️🎆 Been going for years and it never disappoints. Everyone in my group loves the whole presentation. Thank you Threshers!

Always fun rooting for the home team. A great evening topped off with an impressive fireworks display. Excellent value for the money!

Nice ballpark. There's a lot of places to get food and drink so it helps keep lines down which is a plus. Saturday night's have great fireworks display!

Phillies, Threshers, you gotta love this ballpark. So much to do, tons of activities for the kids, killer baseball games, and awesome prices. And best of all. The second location in Florida for Delcos, the most famous Philly sub shop in all the state. Online tickets are cheaper. 🔥 And they allow TAILGATING!!! 🔥 get there a few hours early and cookout near the grass parking off old coachman road. It was so fun cooking out on the 4th of July with my family. We still got Delcos inside anyways. Baycare Park is a blast. Get there on July 4th for the Fly over!!

This is the Phillies spring training and during the summer it hosts a minor league team called the Theshers. There are tons of open seats available and the tickets are around $10 more or less. The games start at 6:30 so plenty of shade behind home plate and the third base side We went during the craft beer night so there were at least 4 craft beer places set up and what a bargain - 24 oz beers for &4.00 Great baseball without the high prices at major league parks. The teams were tied in the 9th inning and a home run won it for the Threshers.

First time visiting the ballpark. All the workers were very nice and happy which is great! The ballpark was clean and kept very neat throughout the night. The food and drink prices were very reasonable (Even better with 50% off drinks on Thursdays!) Great experience overall and I will be back before playoff time!

BayCare ballpark is the spring home of the Philadelphia Phillies the best team in baseball. The stadium has ample parking, great food, frenchies tiki bar in the outfield and a Phillies Diamond outfitter store on the 3rd base side. BayCare is also the home of Phillies single A affiliate The Clearwater Threshers and their games are a blast.

This place is great. Not a bad seat in the house. Staff is very friendly and very accommodating. What is not to love?

We had a blast! The park was very nice with lots of food choices and vendors. My first time at a Spring Training game and I enjoyed every minute!

Loved being here for Spring Training! Acceptable pricing and nice seating. Not very much shade and lots of walking, but for a Philliss win it's all worth it!

Great ballpark for Spring Training! I only wish they had the pretzels like they have at Citizens Bank Park! The water ice was a great treat, though. Our seats were mostly in the sun for the 1pm game, so wear your sunscreen or get some at the sunscreen locations at the ballpark.

Attended a big Halloween event at BayCare ballpark. It was very nice, lots of booths for the kids to trick or treat, games, hayrides photos. One fun thing our little one enjoyed was rolling down the berm. It was a very well put together event with lots of volunteers and there were a lot of people who attended. This was a great alternative to trick or treating in the neighborhoods but it's also fun to go house to house. The parking was well organized and accessible. We enjoyed it a lot.

Nice clean park, not really a bad seat in the place but def recommend sunscreen (which is available in the restrooms) easy drop off & pickup for ride shares, lots of food and drink options

Paddy’s Day game is always a blast. Saw Dave Dombrowski and John Middleton. Kiss your sister game- game ended in a tie because Phillies relief pitching failed in the ninth. But still a good time was had by all. Weather was great.

All seats have a good view. Lots of eateries. Mo's has good gluten-free choices.

Parking was easy. Entering the venue was easy. We were able to get something to drink and snacks for the show. The Bee Gees were great can’t believe I remembered all the words (since sometimes I forget what I did yesterday) lol

Drove 3.5 hours to see The Piano Guys: definitely worth the drive! I don't think there was a single bad seat in the place! The staff were very sweet and the grounds were gorgeous. The pre-show entertainment in the gardens was a lot of fun and the seats in the theater were very comfortable.

I go to concerts at this venue, and to be honest, there's not a "bad" seat. The acoustics are very good, legroom is average, and you can take drinks into the theater. The staff is excellent and know their stuff. Relax and enjoy the ambiance of a smaller, cozier, more personal venue of 2,180 seats. These photos are from the Ringo Starr & the All Starr Band concert September 16, 2022, from Row FF.

This is a great venue. We were seated in section 7 midway across. The seats in front of us are staggered so the view in front isn't obstructed. The seats are cushioned and comfortable. It was nice to arrive early and be able to enjoy the outside bar/garden before the show.

Great venue! We've seen Weird Al and Tori Amos here and have had great experiences both times. Seating is comfortable and easy to access and staff is very helpful.

Great venue! Just saw Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. It was a packed house. The staff at Ruth Eckerd Hall were super great! Friendly, attentive, informative! Wide aisles made it easy to get in and out. Just an all around great experience. Ps....Have Satriani and Vai come back! They were AWESOME!!

Great venue! Saw Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the conspirators and had an awesome time.They offer Vale parking. We had Front row seats. I advise to order drinks on there app so you don't have to wait on the long lines. Also if you sit close to the stage you might want to bring earplugs.

Excellent venue to see a concert or play. Well designed so there is no bad seat in the building. Randy Rainbow did an outstanding show to a packed audience

This is my favorite concert venue in Tampa Bay. First every seat has a great view. Next, the acoustics are intentionally designed to make sure every seat can have clear and crisp listening experience. The staff has always been professional and friendly. Ruth Eckerd Hall is not the least expensive venue but fortunately they handle their own ticket sales so no TicketMaster shenanigans. Parking is a breeze, it’s free and all of it is on their property so it’s much safer than most. This year I’ve attended four concerts and a Price is Right Live show. Music and concerts are my passion. REH does it right!

Nice, small venue. No seat was a bad seat. The concert was fantastic and the sound in the hall was great!

Ruth Eckerd is the best place for family entertainment and date nights. This concert and show venue is always clean and comfortable. Recent renovations to the lobby and exterior patio are stunning. The only point that needs drastic improvement is the concession operations. They consistently have ridiculous lines, slow service, terrible check out and well a sad selection of food and drink items. You can do better Ruth Eckerd! We love this venue though! It's a long term favorite for generations of our family. There is not a bad seat in the house. You can always see and hear all the acts well. When I retire I hope to work here. Check out Billy Idol, kicking it hard at 67!

Great venue for concerts and performances, auditorium setting. Expect to come here for a play on themes. Room to stand, and to move between the rows in and out is easy for the most part. The Heilung performance Oct 23 was amazing. The energy filled the room, and all the emotion was there. Free parking, and expect to wait sometime after the show to get out.

Great venue. There was a surprising amount of leg room. Easy parking. Acoustics were awesome! Looking forward to seeing more concerts here in the future.

It is a beautiful venue which hosts amazing shows. It is comfortable, has a nice environment and the personnel is very friendly. Thanks!

What a great facility. The staff was great and very efficient. It was a packed house and despite that fact the crowds were moved in and out very quickly. Barely any wait times for anything. The parking situation was great as well. We went to see Michael carbanaro from the Carbanaro Effect. Great show and that includes the lighting and sound. Definitely will go see another show at this great facility.

Great place to see a show! The sight lines and sound are excellent and the staff is always welcoming. Easy parking and leaving the venue. The drawback to the venue is there are no aisles to break up the seating. The seating goes completely across the auditorium and you must shuffle by everybody to get to the middle.

Hey there, fellow Tampa rock 'n' roll enthusiast! Last night's Rumours tribute to Fleetwood Mac at Ruth Eckerd Hall was a spontaneous blast – snagged those last-minute tickets with a killer Black Friday deal! While the staff seemed a tad scattered upon arrival, we eventually found our way to the pre-party, and wow, what a gem! The private room and dinner were delightful surprises. Count me in for the pre-show party next time – can't wait to rock out again! 🎸🤘

Attended The Florida Orchestra (TFO) concert here. The concert was spectacular as is to be expected of TFO. I am attaching pics of the opening movie theme conducted by a dinosaur. But this review is about the Eckert Hall: While the acoustics are very good, there are major flaws to this venue. Some are unable to be fixed, others are just poor planning by those who manage this facility. Before I explain the major flaws of this venue , I must also acknowledge how very courteous every person from parking attendants to ushers was here. 1. The most obvious flaw is the seating. There is no middle aisle(s). FIFTY seats wide with no escape aisle?! Where IS the Fire Marshall? There is NO way this is a safe layout for access and egress! Does someone have to have a coronary and be inaccessible to paramedics in the middle seats? Or, worse yet, would a fire or other tragedy happen before the city wakes up to demand fixing this unsafe condition? Even the ticket salespeople are very aware of how undesirable it is for people attending. So they have to warn buyers that the more central they sit, the more people you have to climb over to get to your seat. And the closer you sit to the side aisle, the more people who climb over you! With minimal investment, 4 center seats could be removed, and a center aisle can be stepped to safely provide access and egress. Many middle seats are empty due to the nuisance of having to climb over 25 people to get to them anyway! 2. SIGHT LINES not only lousy but are worse for the more expensive tickets?! The stage is FLAT not stepped, so the front 15+ rows are too low to see past the front row of the orchestra! People in the cheaper seats, which are higher up, can see the entire orchestra. How absurd is this? Obviously, this stage was designed for multiple uses, which would require a flat performance for ballets or musicals, etc. So, sadly, with the tremendous talent of 100 musicians, they are stuck with a facility which does not have risers which are common in most orchestral facilities. So sound is great, but you may as well just close your eyes to listen. At Chicago's Orchestra Hall, the front three rows of seats are half price because you can only see the front row of the orchestra. Quite a contrast to Eckerd Hall, where the first dozen rows should be cheapest! TFO is very talented with brilliantly planned concerts. However, to make themselves available, they perform concerts at 3 venues, here at Eckerd, Straz in Tampa, and Mahaffey in St Petersburg. So, while they are smartly being 'local' to each city, they do not have the luxury or expense of a permanent location to be properly arranged. One wonders if a nearby high school auditorium or mega church might be better arranged, have far more comfortable seating with much Safer access and egress.

This was our first time at a winery and Aspirations has set the bar pretty high. The tour of the winery was very nice they went over the process of how they make and bottle their wine - so happy to find out that they are expanding. Can’t wait to come back to see the changes. The bundle we purchased through Trip Advisor was a great deal it was for 2 people. It came with a tour, two sets of 3-flights each, two sample platters (which had an assortment of cheeses, nuts, crackers), and two Aspirations Winery wine glasses, and a bottle of wine to take home for a really great price. We also went during happy hour which after we enjoyed everything our package came with the glasses of wine were slightly discounted. So we indulged in a bit more. We also picked up a couple bottles of wine to take home and a couple gifts from their shop. The atmosphere was very nice and inviting all staff were very friendly. We are definitely returning and will recommend to anyone who mentions Florida. Thank you so much Trip Advisor and Aspirations Winery. 😁

My friend took me here for a birthday girls day, SO much fun, such a sweet quaint little place, and Heidi was a blast! She was so sweet and knowledgeable. I’m not a big wine drinker but I definitely found a few I loved. I would highly recommend!

A very enjoyable tasting experience! Take it all in by enjoying the tour and tasting at this special little winery. It was educational and WELL worth the price of the tour and tasting. See their website for many details. Went home with a few bottles and was treated so special during the tour and tasting. No real favorite - that is unique to each person's taste. 😋🍷

We were visiting Clearwater/St. Pete’s area, and my girlfriend bought us the Groupon for the tour, and we had an amazing time! The owner is funny and attentive. Once we were done and leaving, we chatted for a bit with him and his wife, and they even gave us some tips of places to go that night and the next day (we were about to leave the next day). The tipped places were really good as well! As for the wines, the select/classic/reserve reds were great, as well as the chocolate dessert one. The fruit infused, for the most part, seemed a little too watery (and sweet) for my taste. Catchin’ Some Rays was the one I enjoyed out of those. Will be definitely visiting again when we are back in the area!

What an amazing gem of a bar and winery. Stopped in and was helped. Super friendly and amazing selection for both me and my girlfriend! (Fridays and saturdays live music!!) I may move in 🤣

April 6th, 2024- I had my 65th Birthday & Retirement Soultrain Event at Aspirations winery. What a Beautiful place to have any event/or occasion. Bill & his staff showed Superb customer service, everything was on point!. Don't miss an opportunity to have a Fantastic Gathering at this Amazing Place!!

Had an amazing time... it was a small quaint place... and met some new people... It's definitely a must try...

Amazing! Went wine tasting and picked out our very own wine to use for our wedding favors! They did an amazing job at designing our label and it was a big hit!

I was taken here on my birthday for a wine tour that came with a few samples of wine. The staff was very friendly and informative. When you take the tour, you will learn so much about the wine making process. After the tour you are given a menu to select which wines you would like to taste. I would definitely recommend stopping by. I will be coming back whenever I come back to the Clearwater area.

Bought the Groupon! Had a great time, Heidi was great she was very patient and helped me decide which wines were best for me according to my likes and dislikes. Heidi did a great job explaining everything including the menu. Did a tour & learned a few things despite being a seasoned wine drinker.

My fiance surprised me with a tour of this winery for my birthday yesterday, and I can't wait to go back. I would definitely recommend getting the tour package (he purchased on Groupon I believe). We got to try 5 different wines of our choice, 2 stemless wine glasses, a free bottle of wine, a tour of their facility, and cheese/bread/grapes/chocolate. It was awesome! The tour is short and sweet, and the wine is so good. It was hard to choose which was going to be the free wine. Alyssa and Kayla were really cool too...super helpful and very friendly! 10/10 recommend!

First time at this cozy intimate theater and loved the venue. Doesn't seem like there's a bad seat anywhere in the venue. Easy to get to, parking is close by and loads of restaurants to have dinner at prior to the concert. The sound was great and we really enjoyed the concert.

We have never been at this theater. It is very small and the mezzanine seats probably have a better view then the main middle since the seats aren't very slanted. Unfortunately the person in front of yous head is in your way most likely. The audio was amazing and Piff used a camera to stream most of his show onto the canvas behind him. Overall I would say the experience is great but I would definitely consider my seats next time.

1st time seeing a show at the Capitol... Stryper on 5/23. The band sounded awesome, a perfect venue for a rock show like this. Nice interior, seats, & nice staff as well. They did a great job upgrading this theater while retaining it's historic value. 👍

Eric Johnson Concert 👍 Awesome music, sounded great in this small theater. Everyone was friendly. Was warm when we went inside but cooled of by intermission. Was a sold out show!

What a great night enjoying this beautiful theater. Your ushers and staff were attentive and personable! We saw comedian Ryan Hamilton who was SO funny and relatable. It was a good crowd, too, and having a street blocked off with opportunities for concessions made it very nice!

Darren Criss Christmas show was Amazing! The venue is perfect for Any performance. Sat in the 2nd row of the Mezzanine for the first time, and the seats were good. My only complaint is the rows are tight, so if you can, sit on the aisle, otherwise getting in and out everyone has to get up. Darren is entertaining, engaging, very personable, and very talented. The musicians accompanying him were great! I hope he comes back to Clearwater, but I think the Sound or Ruth Eckerd Hall may be next when people realize how awesome he is! Snippets included here. He needs a bigger venue!

Attending an event at the Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre was an absolute delight. The historic charm of the venue added a unique touch to the overall experience. The acoustics were phenomenal, providing an immersive auditory experience. What truly made the evening exceptional was the staff, who were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. From the ticketing counter to the ushers, everyone contributed to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The seating arrangement was well-designed, offering great views from various angles. The attention to detail in maintaining the theater's historical character while ensuring modern comfort was commendable. I also appreciated the variety of events hosted at the Capitol Theatre. It truly caters to diverse interests, making it a cultural hub for the community. In conclusion, Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre is a gem in the entertainment scene. The combination of historical ambiance, excellent acoustics, and a stellar staff makes it a top-tier venue for a memorable experience. I look forward to attending future events at this remarkable theater. We had the pleasure of seeing Sasha Valor and absolutely loved the show!

First time at the Bilheimer to see the amazing Tanya Tucker (a true living country legend). This place is amazing! Not a bad seat in the house. We will definitely be back. The only thing I can say is that they need to offer a low carb beverage option like White Claw, High Noon, Truly, etc. If they had one available last night they could have made more beverage sales.

Really beautiful theater with comfortable seats and nice acoustics - at least from the second row. Be prepared for metal detection security checks. They sell wine and beer before the show. Parking looed limited, I recommend taking an Über (I did). I saw Richard Marx (acoustic) who, after all these years, is still phenomenal and has an album coming out shortly. He played some songs which are even better than those that were hits in the 80's.

An old theater that has been beautifully redone. The theater is perfect for intimate events, even from the worst seats you can see the expression on the artists face. The trade off is the acoustics are a challenge.

The venue is great. The sound in this theatre was very good. The police check you through so be prepared for a slight delay and a bottle of water is $4. I don't think there is a bad seat in this venue!

It is a beautiful small theater. There's not a bad seat in the house. We are there to see one of my favorite Australian bands, Hoodoo Gurus. You had a very intimate feel listening to your favorite band. I felt as though sitting in their living room haha. I would definitely go back again.

Writing this after my second visit to the Capital Theater and still impressed with the venue. It is an old fashioned intimate venue with good acoustics. The lobby is dominated by a wooden bar with friendly service, there was a rooftop bar listed but a cold evening and did not visit. Please note there is no food sold except pretzels, popcorn and candy so dinner was delayed until after the show. Note the pretzel and popcorn were good. Refreshment prices were typical $4 water, $16 double wine, etc. We attended the Peter White Christmas show and a preshow wine tasting add-on with Wine and Jazz by Mindy Abair and spouse. The wines they offer are small case releases and very good and we are subscribed to their wine club. We were able to secure free parking near the theater and a short walk from the car. Seating is a bit tight in the theater with limited legroom. Also please note if get a seat against the wall may have limited view as sides have wall jutting out guessing support beams. The two shows I have seen there have been short with no intermission and this performance lasted approximately 100 minutes with encore. This was 20th anniversary show and found very entertaining and recommend you consider attending next year especially if a jazz fan. The venue is an easy entertainment experience and enjoyable night out without fighting huge crowds like Amalie. The Clearwater downtown was festively decorated with a large Christmas tree in the park and entire streets of lights.

Attended a wonderful sold out ELO Tribute concert. Seats are a bit cramped. My seat was on the far left front row against the wall that was mostly facing the slanted wall and expensive. They should do away with such expensive seats that one has to sit sideways to see only 2/3rd of the stage. There can’t be more than half a dozen such seats that should not be sold at premium prices. The concert was wonderful and they provide a great selection of venues otherwise I would give it a 2 Star for selling such lousy seats.

What an interesting concert! Andy Summers from the 80s group the Police. He is an incredible photographer and shared his photo's from around the world. Mostly black and white shots with great quality of shadows and light. These were shown with great guitar and mistic sounds. Loved it!!

Went to see, Here come the Mummies, and Perpetual Grove the cover band. I enjoyed both, there were more people there who followed Here come the Mummies, almost like the following of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was my first time and they were good hard to understand some lyrics but it was very entertaining. The Mummies had a brass part of the band that was awesome. A couple of the members played multiple instruments which I was in awe of.

We've been to a few concerts here, when spending the winters in Belleair beach. The venue is very nice..you can't really find a bad seat! Small, but intimate. Everyone working there is super friendly. The roof top bar is cool. We always enjoy the shows here. The only thing I want to let people know is it's really cold in there, so bring a sweater! Great venue to see a show!

Very classy place to see a show. It's located in a safer, more secure area than other venues where safety seems questionable. The balcony seats were fantastic. The staggered seating there is the best, especially for those of shorter stature. Nothing stinks worse at a show than craning your neck to look around some enormously proportioned human billboard parked directly in front of you. Clean and friendly staff. The only drawback is the lack of parking in downtown Clearwater.

I am in a wheelchair. The Capitol theatre is a great little place for a show, whether a Play, Comedian or Concert. It seats about 700-750 so all the seats are good. The wheelchair space is good and you are able to purchase companion seats. The theater is lovely on the inside and has ADA access and bathroom, as well as an elevator to go up to a couple of different concessions/ bars on upper floors. The problems we had were finding Handicap parking anywhere near the theater and they had no safe defined area for dropoff at the front of the theater either. After going across the street to use space in front of a condo to drop me off my wife could not find anywhere to park in open lots or 2 parking garages. She finally found a single non handicap space three blocks south and by the time she arrived at the door it had taken 20 minutes. After the concert there was lots of parking so it wasn't due to the Capitol show. We found out that there was also a concert at the Sound in Coachman Park. Terrible planning by Ruth Eckerd hall with little thought for patrons, especially those with ADA issues. They need serious improvement. The Capitol is great, the parking is a nightmare for all.

We arrived on time for the 330 ferry on 2/12. The ferry was nowhere to be found… not even in the water. Tried to contact the company to see what happened. Marilee got back to me after several days and said she’d look into it. Still no answer. I’d like a refund on both that trip and the return since we obviously didn’t use it. Not that it’s a lot of money, but it’s the point. Horrible communication. Terrible customer service.

Strongly do NOT recommend! I prepaid for myself and 2 out of town guests for round trip tickets. The captain and his mate made it very clear on the way out they wanted nothing to do with taking us back by telling us it would be cold and wet. We said it didn’t bother us and we already paid so we would see them in a few hours. Ten minutes later I get a text saying all ferries were canceled for the rest of the night. They left us stranded despite having prepaid and had zero apologies for it or good reason.

Very convenient and comfortable way to avoid the traffic to get to Clearwater Beach. I have used 3 times and always very Professional and easy to access. A+++

ZERO stars! Do NOT risk going after dark. Be VERY careful with 'Capt Cord?' Claimed no problem he's driven the ferry with 1 engine many times. That alone shows poor maintenance by Clearwater ferry, if he has used one engine many times on this boat. Ferry had 1 engine barely working, terrified it would sink. Only light was a 6"x6" light on top of boat. No way anyone could see the ferry on the water at night.Then dropped off solo woman passenger in the dark, had no idea where she was going, gave her $10 told her to go walk around the pier up the hill and find the Starbucks and the jolly trolley to get back to Dunedin!! FYI no Starbucks anywhere visible, streets were empty and this idiot captain told the solo female to go walk in the dark to look for a Starbucks that was who knows where. Obviously poor boat maintenance and dangerous captain. Absolutely terrifying experience! This owner completely lied as to the passenger having any other issues. The passenger was terrified and immediately put a life jacket on, in the absolute dark unlit boat. How dare this owner try to put any level of blame on a passenger when they clearly fail to maintain their boats in a reasonable manner. There is no way to confirm whether or not there is any truth as to the owners claim that the passenger was not in danger. It is disturbing that this business believes that leaving a solo female at a dark, virtually uninhabited area after dark area is considered handling the experience or situation well, and is pleased with their employees behavior! Clearly the standards for reasonable conduct or bare bones and extremely minimalistic. I would strongly suggest NOT taking this ferry after dark. And definitely do not trust the owner., As they clearly look out for themselves. Didn't even have the common decency to offer a refund, but then again you get what you pay for. SWFL has much higher standards than this garbage business, would never put passengers out in a dark, isolated area. Something like this would never happen and similar business in Lee or Collier counties.

The ferry is a very convenient way to travel the boat staff are friendly and nice and very helpful with information if you need it. It's a great view of the Bay. It takes you to a variety of stops. You need to check the ferry map for instructions and information. The times that I went weren't very crowded. So there was no line at all. There are two different types of fairies I've seen a large one, and a smaller one. Check my pictures for a video and views.

I ride this ferry from Dunedin to Clearwater beach. It also makes a stop for Clearwater Downtown area. It’s the best way to beat traffic and relax when going to the beach. The captain and first mate are kind and help people out with recommendations for places to go and how to beat crowds. Awesome service!

We took the trip from Dunedin Marina to Clearwater beach memorial day weekend and it was awesome! We saw a dolphin too! Also we stopped to pick up people at Coachman Park. Then straight to the Beach! We took theb4pm and came back on the 7pm. I recommend a towel just in case it's windy and there is spary. The captain and helper were great and on time both trips. It was very affordable and we didn't have to contend with the holiday traffic! We easily saved 45 not driving and then we didn't ha e to find or pay for parking! I highly recommend this trip! Also tip your captain please! Be kind. This is a TAXI!

Access for manual wheelchair was a little different just because of the level of the water to the dock. I don't think a power chair would have worked at all. It's a nice ride. You don't have to worry about parking or backed up on the bridge to get across in traffic for an hour or two and then trying to find a handicap spot over there is really difficult. Take the ferry

Leider viel Beton. Spielplatz vorhanden. Aussicht schön. Aber für den Preis wäre mehr Attraktionen für Kinder und Jugendliche und ein Restsurant etc schön gewesen. (Translated by Google) Unfortunately a lot of concrete. Playground available. View nice. But for the price, more attractions for children and young people and a restsurant etc. would have been nice.

Wanting to experience a slow motion journey on the waters off the Cleatwater Harbor and Marina, wet took the Clearwater Ferry for a roundtrip voyage that lasted about an hour. The cost is $4 per adult, so roundtrip (if you pay in advance, you get cards/tickets) is $8 per adult. If you're a senior cirizen, you're only charged $3 each way. It was a very pleasurable experience and a few dolphin sightings occurred as we neared Clearwater Beach.

Great service and friendly. Gets you across to the beaches in just a few minutes. Very worth the money to be able to walk onto the pier at Coachman Park and get a ride over to the beach. Will keep doing this.

October 29, 2023 STRANDED AT THE SOUND AFTER A SHOW AND NO RESPONSE!!!!! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE SERVICE AND THEY NEED TO REFUND AND PAY FOR OUR LYFT WHICH COSE $50 BACK TO DUNEDIN!!!!!! ZERO STARS!!!!! We drove to Dunedin and caught the ferry with 5 other couples to take us to The Sound for Sammy Hagar. Drew and the captain told us that they would NOT leave anyone behind at the end of the concert and they would make sure to check the reservations so that no one would be stranded. The concert ended at 10:40p and the ferry left and STRANDED 10 PEOPLE. We called the phone number on the website and it says to give them 48 hours to respond! This is not only a major liability as we had a handicapped couple who needed to get back to Dunedin, but stranded all 10 patrons who paid for a full fare. I am outraged and would NEVER recommend this company to ANYONE who needs to ferry anywhere in the Clearwater/Dunedin area. THE OWNERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

The ferry was so fun and relaxing. The view of the ocean. The breeze. The water the sky. The boats and the jet skis. It's only about a 15 minute ride and id rather the ferry than fighting for parking spots and paying 30 bucks for it than 10-15 for the ferry. Try it and I'm sure you'll take it every time you go to Clearwater beach.

Nice service and a great way to avoid the busy traffic to Clearwater Beach. However, if you wanna hang out worry-free at the beach, not have to watch the time to catch the return ferry, then try to get to the beach early by car, easier for get around to eat and drive around the beautiful beach area.

Parking around Clearwater Beach is a nightmare. We used the free parking near City Hall to avoid the traffic and hassle. We didn't have reservations for the ferry, but the Captain was awesome and very accommodating in getting us where we needed to go! Great service!

A sunset cruise will set you back $30. A dolphin cruise probably the same. We saw both on the ferry for $8. Plus it is a great 45 min ride from Dunedin to Clearwater Beach while avoiding the traffic and parking rates at CB. We will definitely come back to do it again.

Beautiful pier in the middle of clearwater beach. Only $1 to walk to the end. You can rent everything you need to fish here. In the evening they have a sunset festival with vendors and entertainment. Definitely suggest stopping by around sunset or early morning

A couple times now, my husband, daughter and I have come down and seen the sunset from the pier. It's absolutely magical.... sturdy, and we love browsing the shops.

One of the best point to see sun set and it's feel amazing if you beach lovers then this one is perfect and you can go with family as well there is more options for food and fun activities hotels are expanciv in nearby by so book it in advance and have fun 😊

Absolutely amazing views and beach and water. It’s a great day out. Still don’t get why one has to pay $1 just to reach the end of the pier with nothing much to see there that you couldn’t see elsewhere. But otherwise it’s a great day out with pristine sand water and tranquility.

Pier 60 is one of the central attractions in Clearwater beach. The beach has playground, restaurant and a fishing pier. There are some or the other entertainers who perform on the pier each day. You can walk to a point on the pier with no fee and will see some stalls selling accessories and other gift items. To go beyond, one will need to give some fee. Clearwater beach is one of the beautiful beaches in Florida. This beach features white sand and is located on an island. It offers various activities like jet ski, parasailing and has several restaurants and shops near the beach. During weekends and spring breaks, the parking is usually full.

LOVE this pier! Hubs can fish while kiddos and I enjoy the beach. Great for family days. Conveniently located off Clearwater beach. Bench seating, little walk, some shade provided. Not too costly and parking close by.

Pier 60 in Clearwater, Florida is a popular tourist attraction known for its beautiful beaches and leisure activities. Its prime location, right in the heart of the beach, provides easy access to stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and stunning sunsets. One of the main advantages of Pier 60 is that it is a public place with free access. You can stroll along the pier, enjoy the sea breeze and admire the scenery without having to pay anything. However, there are some options for paid activities, such as renting beach chairs and umbrellas. In terms of food, Pier 60 offers a variety of food and beverage options at its kiosks and stalls. You can find everything from quick snacks like popcorn and cotton candy to full meals like hamburgers and seafood. Prices are a little high given the touristy nature of the area, but the convenience of having on-site food options makes up for it. Service at Pier 60 varies depending on the specific location you choose to buy food or rent beach gear. Some establishments may be more efficient and friendly than others, but overall, the staff is helpful and responsive to visitors' needs. As for parking, it's important to mention that it can be a challenge to find spaces near Pier 60, especially during peak hours. It is recommended to arrive early or consider using public transport to avoid problems. Pier 60's quality as a tourist destination is undeniable. The beaches are clean and well maintained, offering a pleasant environment to relax and enjoy the sun.

Its stunning location, varied food options, friendly service and captivating tourist environment make it an unmissable point of reference in the region. I recommend a visit to everyone who wants to enjoy a memorable beach day and fun activities.

We just had a wonderful experience parasailing at Pier 60 with John & Jesse. This was amazing, I’m definitely doing it again. So quiet & peaceful. They also took some great photos so add that to you package

We always love coming back to this pier. It has plenty of things to do and see, vendors and shows as well. The pier is clean and organize. Just keep in mind parking is very hassle to find but they are plenty of parking area you can find parking for a $. The beach in the pier area is awesome and white sandy beautiful. We stayed at night time and enjoyed the shores, and watching stars. I highly recommend to visit this pier.

We absolutely love going to pier 60. We were fortunate enough to be a vendor at the Clearwater Beach Brawl in November and the bathroom facilities were great, there were food vendors near by. I highly recommend!

Went during evening and the weather was perfect. It was serene, the water was not too cold, soothing and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Would definitely recommend to others. Parking is a bit of pain so try to drive around in the pier 60 parking lot a bit and you would find one spot. It is not that expensive compared to what I read in other reviews. Infact, they do not even check if you paid for parking so go ahead and just park and leave.

My fiancé and I love to try out wineries. We were celebrating our 3rd anniversary and he found this lovely hidden gem! The owners are super sweet and very knowledgeable. They provided a wonderful conversation with our tasting. We sampled all of their wines and we were greatly impressed! The tasting was free and the price of the bottles was comparable to other wineries we have gone to. This was by far one of the BEST overall tastings we have experienced and we look forward to returning! P.S. the ice wine was life changing- you need to try it! Plus they have an adorable dog there! Cheers!

This is my favorite wine. There is something for everyone. The proprietors are gracious, knowledgeable & have wonderful customer service skills. I ordered 24 Dragon Fruit for gifts last Christmas. Everyone raved about the wine and wanted to hear more. We've visited several times. Each time we end up with 4-6 bottles. We're never disappointed. I can't rave enough @ their diversity and quality.

Great service have been to the winery and they are wonderful people. Loving their Sharaz and Zozo Mango, though everything is wonderful. Enjoy being able to order online also and have it delivered to our home.

I was visiting Pensacola last year and came across a paint & sip at a local mall. They allowed wine tastings of three wines of your choice. I fell in love with Murielle Winery's Chocolate Raspberry Port Wine. My mother, who is not a fan of Port Wine fell in love too. I ordered a case and shared a bottle with my neighbor and she loved it!! I've been missing it, so I'm about to order another, but I'll leave you with this bit of advice; if you're a Port Wine lover, make sure to try this one! And, if you're wondering about the customer service....TOP NOTCH!!!

The owners are so friendly and informative. The free wine tastings they offer are terrific. I like their fruity wines. They have great flavors. I bought some. I will go back again.

Great selection of red, white, and blush wines. Creative flavor fusions. I've never been disappointed. I gave a mixed case of wine to the staff where my mother lives and they all enjoyed the wine and thanked me.

Some of the best wine I've tasted. And Cali the Shih-Tzu was good company.

We had such a great time! There’s so many fun things for the kids to do, you definitely can make a day of it! Maggie was a super host and the Manager John was very accommodating! Batting cages, go karts, mini golf, bumper boats, AND 2 stories of video games, super fun! 😱 We will definitely be back!

Visiting the area from NY. Someone recommended it, and it looked like fun online. We bought a 3 hour pass that included everything, including mini golf, a meal, and $10 in game credits for just over $60 with tax/person. Seemed like a great deal with the food and game credits. We definitely got our money's worth on the go carts . Kids probably went on 20x. They have fun on the bumper boats and jumping thing. We tried to play Laser Tag, but there was no interest. Slow weekday. We finished the day with a round of mini-golf. Course was a lot of a lot of fun! There is nothing like this place near us. Kids said how great it would be to have a birthday there. We will visit again.

Not too shabby! My little brother's 16th birthday And his very first hole-in-1. What a memory! We came as a party of 7 and enjoyed mini golf, laser tag, go karts, and even the bumper boats. The staff was friendly and the place was pretty clean. We also hit up the arcade and scored a few tickets--they should throw in adult prizes low key. I'd come back again for sure.

Way too expensive for what it is. For almost $40 We got to ride the go karts for what it seemed like 2 minutes, someone was stuck on the track and the cars were slowed down twice and didn’t get that time back. Then hit twice on the batting cages and that was it. I was there for about 15 minutes. I refuse to just give them anymore money for nothing. It use to be fun but now it’s not worth bringing the kids there. Pizza is good but also expensive. It’s good for birthday parties as a group, that’s about it. 2 stars for the 2 minutes of fun lol

Flappy Bird 🐦 and the Racing Games 🚨 are my personal Forte. Really awesome arcade 🎮 to go to, prices are awesome. Pretty cool Jurassic 🦖 Mini Golf Course, too. ⛳

Okay, so we were very excited to take our just turned 3 year old Jason Jr. To Celebration Station, but our expectations were soon disappointed as a lot of the games needed maintenance, and the cost per game was quite high as a material of speaking. The food was not great, but I guess you expect it to be at an arcade. The place has lost its luster and needs to find a way to bounce back. Three stars for a disappointing network and a lackluster atmosphere. ~The Taurian Chef

We had a good time. The go karts were fun and you better set up your own laser tag team. If not you may be overmatched if they pick for you. We’ll be back!

These types of places never get old to me. Celebration Station is a one-stop, do it all place. Expect to spend the whole day here. There's so much to do. This place is for kids of all ages and the young at heart. There's food and drinks. Adult beverages too! There are arcade games on two floors. Air hockey, pool tables, laser tag, an amusement park, mini golf, batting cages, and more! Everything is moderately priced. Great deals for newcomers and regular customers alike. We had a great time. The staff is always available for help of any kind and everyone was great. No issues with customer service here. Great for a family outing or a date night. I recommend this place to anyone staying in the Tampa/Clearwater area. Bring the kids and let them wear themselves out! Lol. P.S. get the Bavarian Pretzel. It was delicious!

Great place to spend time with kids. prices are reasonable. have some outdoor activities as well.

For an adult; it is okay. For a kid I am sure they love it. Took a 13 year old here and they liked it! It is expensive! So plan to spend a fair amount of money before hand. They have different package options, which cover the major activities like go carts, a "bounce" ride (which you only have 5 mins on, bumper boats, and a few other outdoor things we didn't do. The unlimited pass let the kid ride go carts as many times as he wanted which was his favorite. FYI batting cages aren't really included in the deal. Huge arcade inside, and that will cost extra money. $1=4 credits or something like that...but the games are 2+ credits. They have a cool virtual reality King Kong game, but thats like 20 credits alone. The food is pricey...and I equate it to like stadium or game food. So...eat before you go! The laser tag was my favorite part, and you get 15 mins play time. They have pool and air hockey upstairs which is fun and more adult ish. I would go back, but only spend my money on the laser tag and some arcade stuff!

After many years in the area, we finally tried this mini golf, and we're very impressed! Don't let the carts and arcade fool you. The best fun are the 2 courses 😁🌴😎

It's a great place to take the kids but plan on spending some big bucks. I took my two grandkids and bought $20 for play plus $10 for laser tag. That's $60 plus tax. I bought a basket of fries and a small drink, another $10.00 We were there for about 90 minutes and they really enjoyed it. It just stinks that the prices are so high.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my son's tenth birthday. The staff was attentive and helpful. The space we reserved was clean and easy to set up. My son had a great time, thank you!

We had a misunderstanding when purchasing ride tickets. The manager came up to us upon seeing our confusion and helped us out this saving the day. Our birthday fun continued and we strongly recommend coming here.

MINIATURE GOLF REVIEW: We had a good time playing mini golf. The course needs a little refreshing but it was still fun. The sound of the water in the rivers made it really relaxing and help to drown out the noise of US 19. Staff was very friendly. There is a lot to do at Celebration Station...Go Carts, laser tag, lots of arcade games and more. We went on a week day and it was great! Not crowded at all.

Update: We had a birthday party here and had blast!!! Doug and Diana served our party and went over and beyond to make sure everything was perfect despite rain that day. Doug took photos and videos for us! Diana made sure our pizza and drinks came out perfectly. Taylor helped me organize the party and was awesome. Kylee and one other person rang us up for laser tag. Strat and the other gentleman set us up for laser tag and helped with prize choices. A++++++++ way to go!! Old review: Overall a fun time. We played mini golf and some arcade games. The customer service needs a little more improvement. Two younger ladies at the front did a good job, though. And the young man at the golf area. I wish they would explain the packages a little bit bc I wasn’t sure how it worked until I already paid and saw a sign after.

Your average typical mall. It is rather big though and they have an ice rink inside. That I have never seen before. More then enough restaurants to check out and plenty of store too. Make sure you wear a mask since everyone is out and about. If you get a t-shirt at this local place.make sure you say what you want directly. I can't remember the name of the t-shirt place but it costed.me almost 50$ for one shirt! An since the last didn't understand me, she got frustrated and made the wrong shirt. Other than that a great place to go and get some excerise in.

We love coming to the Clearwater Countryside Mall. The mall is always clean and the the kids area in the back is so perfect for everything you need to do with kiddos. Bathrooms, mini potty, changing stations and quiet areas with curtains for separation and privacy. The variety of stores shops and kiosks are just great! The food court always has great food and a variety for everyone and all ages. We loved the sit down tablet strollers. It's Christmas time and the Mall is always looking festive for the season. The train was our favorite today. Fun friendly and helpful staff. The Countryside Mall gets 5 stars from me today. Jason -The Taurian Chef

Very nice mall and clean. Great variety of stores and nice variety in the food court. There's plenty of parking even around the holidays which is great. We visit this mall mostly for the ice skating rink. Worth a visit if you need to get some shopping done and want to let the kids ice skate.

Quite a few options with kids, most shops were open and there was some activity even on a Monday afternoon. Its a good walk and decent food/snack options as well. As a non-local coming first time it was a bit confusing where the main entrance was, ended up going in from the jcpenny side.

Pretty nice, they really try & succeed in keeping the mall clean. They have the major department stores as well as many smaller specialty shops. I've always liked the ice rink in the mall center, it's also one of the few malls with a Dillard's & Macy's in the same mall. They also have some good restaurants attached to the location. Give Bacon Street Diner a shot for something different.

Lots of stores and food places. Great place to walk. Nice and air-conditioned. Great play area for the kids. Has an ice skating rink, CBD water and a candy store! Lots of stores with great finds!

The best mall in the Tampa area. A decent selection of restaurants, many chain stores, along with an eclectic blend of non-chain stores. The ice rink is also a nice unique feature. One of the more kid-friendly malls in Tampa as well (ice rink, train, playground, and many children-oriented stores ). Although I’ve never been to it, their movie theater looks very nice.

We are very disappointed that the mall is taking the train away. As a employee, we depend on the ride to help the kids be entertained. Now parents will have little reason to take there kids to the mall. Parents want us to Bring the train passes back with no expiration or else we lose our family’s business. Fantastic place to bring the family this is a huge indoor mall, well maintained a liberal amount of retailers.Great thing for the kids to ride, unfortunately they are going to stop this. Kids are going to be disappointed, especially the disabled kids that rely on it being there every Sat and Sunday. Please help us keep this service! We have a autistic kid that has been riding this little train for 14 years and the staff has treated him like a prince. People have seen them lift kids out of wheelchairs so they can enjoy a ride. Kids of all ages love this ride. It's a little something for families to do. Have a heart, mall management! This train is a win-win-win for mall patrons, mall merchants and the mall leasing folks.

I quite enjoy this mall. It's always been clean and maintained, and has a great selection of shops and dining. The movie theater and ice rink really sets it aside compared to other malls. There's also a nice balance as far as affordability, meaning some places are $$$ and some are $ which makes it more accessible to everyone (something I appreciate).

Countryside Mall is the apex of malls within the 1980s/early 90s, what was once a Westfield shopping plaza and has now become independently-owned. Now, it is a pretty typical shopping center without much variety of stores. Having a Whole Foods in the area is pretty awesome, and the CMX Theater is a great option for local moviegoers. However, the food court is relatively falling apart, with the former Chick-Fil-A having closed, and the most iconic brand in it being the Charley's Philly Steaks and Planet Grilled Cheese. This mall remains pretty homogenous with the other Westfield-turned-Independent properties around the world. Overall, not a bad place to stop and shop for small things, department store goods, or getting a tattoo- albeit even if it is a little dated to this point.

Awesome mall ! Everything's clean and lots of great shops and food court and even an ice rink. They have a family lounge where parents can have a few minutes for themselves or for nursing mom have some privacy. They also have a microwave just in case you need to warm up some food or milk for child. Pretty impressive to say the least! 😊😁

I had a really nice night out walking around this mall looking for a job. Every store I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and gave me their attention when I inquired about work. Very peaceful, professional atmosphere.

The mall did not renew the lease of Countryside Railroad. Our autistic son had been riding this little train for 14 years and the staff treated him and all the special needs kids like royalty. I saw them lift kids out of wheelchairs so they could enjoy a ride and wouldn't be left out. Kids of all ages and adults loved this ride. It was a unique treat for families. Have a heart, mall management! This train was a win-win-win for mall patrons, mall merchants and the mall leasing folks. You put a couple of couches where families used to smile. Bring back the train!

Good selection of stores, and a decent food court. Ice skating was a bit pricey, almost 90 bucks for two adults and a child. But my 4 year old was able to settle for the cool powered animal cars to ride around on instead. Good times 👍

Love the mall, love everything there. don’t know why they took out the train from the mall, my whole family loved it so much and were always there for it. I contacted them and asked if they are temporarily closed, but apparently this is permanent. totally disappointed about that decision and hoping for it to be back as it never failed to put a smile on the youngest visitors of the mall.

I went to this Mall to get a gift for my daughter Geneva for her birthday and anniversary gift. It was a beautiful mall. I enjoyed walking around.

Its been 4 years since we visited Countryside Mall and while several stores have changed, several more have taken their place. Nice restaurants to choose from, shopping was good and a nice food court (smaller) for a light lunch. Nice to see the movie cinema is still there. Worth a visit if you are staying in Clearwater Beach and want to spend a few hours.

Very casual and relaxing atmosphere with indoor & outdoor seating, paired with great quality dishes is a win in my book. Fish & chips were very delicious and being able to sample their variety of brewed beers was a fun and refreshing experience. Definitely recommend!

When I first moved to Florida 2 years ago, I was staying in Clearwater a few blocks from this brewery. I decided to come back and check it out. I loved coming there. It's still awesome! The beer is amazing. I ordered an IPA, and it was very good. I ordered the Cuban sandwich (Tampa style). Delicious! The fries were very good. I definitely recommend checking this out, especially if you like beer.

Stopped at the Big Storm Brewing Co. - Clearwater for the first time today. They've got a great vibe, live music, and a strong menu. They're family & dog friendly which is nice too! We ordered the OctoberFest and mules, all made here, and all very good. Food wise we got burgers, fish dip, Mac & Cheese, and Fish & Chips. My fish and chips was really good, flaky, and hearty. Finally, great tunes by Jacob Davies Music complete the fun experience. I recommend you pay them a visit!

We like to go to a lot of breweries, but this one was pretty disappointing. First I have to say the food and the beers where pretty good. And our server was very friendly but a little slow given it was not very crowded yet. What was very bad to us are the prices of the flights. This is the most expensive brewery to order flights! We always have about two flights and then decide for a final beer. Usually you can expect a price of $1.50 to $2.50 per flight glass. But this brewery! Their prices are between $1.95 and - get this: $4.95!!! This is outrageous! $2 more and you can have a 16oz glass instead of a 5oz flight. Really? Sorry for the good taste, but this is not worth it to us. And it has nothing to do with the location. There are other breweries with decent prices around here.

Great time! We brought our dog Max and had lunch during a beagle adoption event which was rained out. Everyone was so accommodating and the outdoor space was nice for everyone and their pups! I ate the Buffalo chicken sandwich, fries are different and great. Coleslaw good. I tried two different beers one was their new heffinwiesien the second a strawberry wheat. Overall a great lunch and a great time!

Great beer (5 stars), food was ok (3 stars) for an average review of 4 stars. A large group of us ate outside on a Saturday afternoon, where there was of room and tables. It was a chilly afternoon and the space heaters overhead kept us warm. Service was speedy. The loaded tots were good, however the meat of the boneless wings had a strange consistency. The fish sandwich was also a bit bland as well as the fish tacos. I would come back for the beer and maybe some snacks, but not necessarily for a full meal.

I went here for an afterwork dinner with my vo-workers, party of like 15. We were seated right away, our server did a good job of watching the table and bringing out food and drinks to us. I had something with vodka & cranberry juice. It was okay. I wish Id ordered something sweeter, but that was my fault. The appetizers came out. We had a bunch for our table. Flatbread margherita pizza,quesadillas, nachos, buffalo cauliflower wings, hummus plate.... the cauliflower wings were very good, just the right amount of heat and I liked the hummus too, it came with grilled pita bread. For my entree, There werent any real vegan options, so I had to fall back on a pescatarian option... grilled salmon platter. It has a tasty bourbon sauce on it, rice and steamed green beans. Everything went well together. Overall, this is a really nice place. Especially if you're a beer drinker...and the food is good too. I would go back for sure. Hopefully next time they will have some more vegan options.

Very good experience. Always try to hit as many breweries as possible when we are out of town. Very large outdoor area, large inside at and inside seating. Food was all good, and beer was very good.

Food is great, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A good amount of people bring their dogs! Water bowls are provided. Parking is a little weird, a majority of parking space is at this connected lot, just follow the signs.

Huge selection of beers on tap! I loved the outdoor seating with TVs and misting fans. We both got flights and loved the attention to detail with all the glasses matching. Huge selection of take home beers and merch too. Our server, Chelsea (spelling?), was awesome and it was her first week there! We asked her tons of questions and she was able to answer them or get an answer quickly. Can’t wait to come back and grab some food!

The whole family enjoyed our meal here. Lots of cool spaces to hang out. The kitchen accommodated my daughter’s unseasoned fish request. Not a beer drinker but the cocktails were good!

Popped in after attending a hot pepper festival in the area to have a couple brews to celebrate a friend's birthday. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices are fair. Their Amber (Wavemaker) is really a good beer for us non-IPA fans. It has a good roast behind it that almost borders on a nut brown ale character. The Breakfast stout is a trip with that maple syrup finish. Mixed drinks were heavy handed and well appreciated by those in our group. Overall, nice job!

We ordered the Hummus appetizer plate that was incredible. For our main meal we had a Cuban sandwich with fries and the chicken quesadilla with corn chips, salsa and sour cream. Everything was cooked perfect and full of flavor. It was raining so we opted to eat inside but on a nice evening, you can sit outside and you can even bring your pup along. Plenty of room, nice bar and I have to add, the Pineapple Cider is absolutely delicious!!

I'm not a craft beer person, so I love how they also have cocktails, seltzers, and wine. Huge outdoor space that is great for groups, pets, and kids. Very casual establishment with some cute merch. I guess they just changed the menu? I didn't see tacos, hummus plate or beer flights listed... And those were some of the highly rated things in past reviews. I ended up getting the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries. It was pretty greasy, but overall fine. Overall the food is a little pricey for the quality and portion size. I came on a Friday during lunch and sat at the bar. The bartender was very inattentive and just seemed to have no personality towards me.

Went for some lunch before a flight at St. Pete-Clearwater Airport since it is nice and close. Easy to find and great outside seating area. Pets welcome! Everything was clean and they even had space heaters up for us locals who get cold when its 65 out. Food was just okay, nothing bad to be honest but not OMG WOW. I had the French Dip special and my daughter enjoyed the Buffalo chicken flatbread. Onion rings were solid and very crispy. Service was great. Look forward to coming back and giving it another shot and try some flights on the next visit.

We finally decided to go try some beers after driving past a few times. We had the Hefeweizen and Silver Fox and loved them both. Great atmosphere and friendly employees and bartender! The food menu looked good too, yet another reason to return

I don't drink, but I usually love food at places like this. The burger was wonderful and it came with a HUGE pile of tater tots. If you really know how to navigate the menu, you can find an affordable meal, but be careful. The tab can add up QUICK with how a lot of things are priced.

Friendly service, tasty food options, and lively atmosphere as well as excellent choice of craft and signature cocktails. Lacking some what on getting check to leave. Had to hunt down server.
