I've recently become a stay at home mom and I'm looking for more to do in the Clearwater area. A…read morefriend recommended the aquarium which I somehow had never been to! Well it turns out it's much more economical to be a member so we splurged on the 4-person membership for around $240. The staff is all super nice. It was a weekday so rather than paying $14 for parking (members only pay $7 with validation) we found free street parking. My 4 year old loved the touching tank upon entry and we learned about how lobsters shed their shells. It's a mixture of old and new structures so it can get confusing to navigate but we figured it out for the most part. Another favorite was the stingray area as well because you can get wet. I personally couldn't locate the otters but I will make it my mission next time. Lots of scheduled presentations! I think we will find plenty of reasons to come back. I noticed they also have a food court. Would love to see some sort of splash pad addition like at the one in Tampa. There is a cute waterfront playground just a stone's throw away!

Which turned out to be a caveat because apparently today was a day everybody decided to come to the aquarium. If you didn't already know this is where "Dolphims Tale" emanated from. Florida is and has always been dedicated to the preservation and rescue and Rehabilitation of the marine species and environment. The drive out here is something. Crystal Blue Azure Waters surrounded by pristine white sandy beaches.

The different themes are engaging and fun, my children always teach me something new every time they come home! The summer camps are just as wonderful, packed with learning, activities and amazing teachers. Every week at the end of each summer session each child presents their work in a gallery type setting that the teachers put together, complete with beverages and snacks just like an Artist opening night! A great way to build your child's confidence making them proud of what they have achieved that week. Keep up the great work, it's great to see you grow!

The smaller kids area was on the left and on the right was like the more Advanced adult side. My kids enjoyed every bit of their time here. The coaches were very patient and friendly with both my kiddos. I loved that they pushed them a little more to keep them motivated to keep trying on obstacles that they couldn't get the 1st time. I could watch them the entire time and was able to see their progress and movement while they were on each course. Such a fun experience especially if you're trying to keep your kids busy during summer. The kids did leave with sore hands but that just shows that they had a lot of fun. We will be joining another class again soon.

I started going there to train for OCR races and I ended up signing up with the gym to run around 5 of them so far. Ive also got a bunch of friends to start coming and even run some races too. I am very glad to have found this place and the community that comes along with it and recommend everyone come in a check them out!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the after school program at Tim McCahan. My daughter…read morewent there for several years while in elementary and middle school and what I loved about the program was that they held her to the same standards I expected at home. We raised her together to be a respectful, hard-working, kind person while also earning her black belt. My daughter is about to turn 21 and we talk about her time there often and so appreciate the McCahan Family.

Oh, this was such a fun night!…read more My friend had been here before. She has a long history of knowing fun places-and I happily followed her here. It was everything I hoped for and more. It's so colorful and cheerful inside. You can feel the creativity flowing and gelling. Inspo is everywhere. The staff were so welcoming and supportive-especially to someone who still paints like an elementary school kid (that would be me). We paid $10 for the special ghouls night out session... but I've heard you can do walk ins, too. There are shelves full of all sorts of figures and plates and other pottery to choose from. The prices are on the bottom-and that covers the paint and the firing. My friend and I had a table to ourselves-and could spread out our snacks and drinks (they had cupcakes, cookies and small cans of soda available but you can also byob and foods. We brought charcuterie items, champagne and pumpkin doughnuts). It was such a relaxing and happy experience-painting, snacking and chatting. The staff checks on you. You can also go ask for more paint at any time. My spider won't win any awards-but he sure was fun to decorate! I can't wait to see how he'll look after firing. I'm told the colors will darken. It should be ready for pickup in about a week. I'm told they have art classes, day camps and summer camps and that you can hold parties here. It's fun for all ages and I may bring my mom, sister and niece here for some three generation bonding. It's a comfortable space with lots of easy parking available. I'm already looking forward to going back. See you there?!

I like that you can walk in at any time without booking anything. They have lots of pieces to…read morechoose from and the pricing is based on the piece you choose. Everything is included in that price. Then you pick out your paint colors and start painting. I felt like the paint colors looked very different in the palette than I expected from the display. When we were in there it was busy with many families, several who had children that were screaming the whole time. You can pick up your finished creation about a week later.

My daughters love to play and do art with them. The classes are greatly structured for children in their specific age groups. The instructors give information about the child's physical development needs and why they are working on those (this part to me is incredibly helpful for new parents). We come here often enough that we have made friends with our classmates and the instructors. Shout out to Jordan for a wonderful time. Thanks for letting us hangout with you at rompys house.

Equipment was…read moreage-appropriate for toddlers, and I didn't spend the entire time worried they were going to get seriously injured - they seriously enjoy themselves. The staff were super attentive and so incredibly kind to the kids as well as the parents. I only took off one star because I felt a couple of the breaks from play took away from the overall exploration that young toddlers like to do. And kids need a liiiiiittle more transition time than was typically given. HOWEVER- this might have been with the parents asked for. Clean!

Edit-The reviewer below is correct...it is a field trip/camp destination, but shouldn't be listed under museums if it is not open to the public. When some friends were in town, we looked up things to do and this came up. We went there and were told that it wasn't open to the public. We asked when we could come back and were told they were only open to the public once a month for a movie night but you can't go to the second floor. I just want to warn people here that it is not a place you can just go to like every other museum.
