THE GARDEN STATE
On may way to Florida tomorrow night. Just wondering if anybody knows of any good aquariums down there? I'll be in the Clearwater Beach area. thanks
 
the tampa bay aquarium rocks. i was there about 2 years ago. had some monster fish there for sure. cool reef stuff, like an outdoor reef pond type thing. its cool, definitely check it out if you are near

probably won't go fishing this time around, but i will be moving there in about 7 months. then i'll ship you all you want.
 
Tampa bay Aquarium, St Peterburgs/Sarasota area has an Aquarium, Sea World but thats 2ish hours away from there thats all I know of.
 
In Clearwater there is a rescue/aquarium deal. We checked it out on our honeymoon. Not bad for a low price. While you are there, go to the docks and look into sailing on the Kailani Kat. We went out on it twice, had a shark swim up to the boat on one of the trips. Lots a dolphins on that. Go under the main bridge in clearwater and you can watch the locals pull up all kinds of fish, the put them back though. We watched the manitees there a couple of times.
 
I agree theres alot of cool wildlife out there if you do one of those tours or activites, I kno you see alot of dolphins and sharks if you do that erm parasailing? the thing where you go up in the air with a parachute looking thing and your pulled by a boat... thats fun also! =)
