It is always fun to learn about the ocean and all of the life that makes its home there. But it is a completely different experience to actually be out on the water to see that life in action. Aquatic enthusiasts will most definitely enjoy that opportunity when they get on board for the Sea Life Safari Boat Tour. This two-hour excursion is associated with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and provides participants the chance to look for dolphins, sea birds and other marine life as one of the aquarium staff member narrates the scenic ride to a shell island. One of the many highlights of the trip includes seeing a net pull that offers a chance to reach out and touch ocean wildlife before they are released back into their natural habitat.

Take aim for a great time at one of Clearwater's most popular amusement centers, Celebration Station. There's something fun for the whole family to enjoy at this incredible attraction. Choose from taking a revved up ride in a go-kart, jolting your senses on a bumper boat, feeling the wind on your face on one of the many carnival rides or sharpening your shooting skills in the laser tag arena.

Everything from folk trios to classic jazz bands to seasonal favorites like "The Nutcracker" and other musical performances are part of the impressive entertainment schedule at Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall. The venue's impressive stage and design make every performance a real treat for the senses no matter where your seat is located in the spacious auditorium. The Hall also offers a variety of classes that are designed to bring out the artist in everyone who enrolls. There are also many different activities and special presentations planned throughout the year that are designed to preserve the art of performance for future generations.
