Kindred Hospital Bay Area - St. Petersburg

Cue up a great evening of fun when you meet your friends at Stix Billiards. The relaxed atmosphere and numerous tables ensure that you won't have to wait too long before you and your pals are racking them up for a game of eight ball. A great selection at the bar as well as excellent munchies make Stix Billiards a favorite hangout after the sun goes down on St. Pete Beach.

Fans of Indy Car action look forward to the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg held every late March or early April. In addition to the Indy Car race, there is also an Indy Pro race and an American Le Mans Series race, all held on a waterfront track in downtown St. Petersburg. In addition to the races, there's also great live music to enjoy as well as family entertainment and other attractions.

The injuries sustained by various birds in the area are seen as just temporary by the caring professionals at the Suncoast Bird Sanctuary. This prominent avian hospital rehabilitates thousands of feathered creatures who need a little extra care. Creatures from birds to raptors are treated and then released, but several of the injured specimens make their permanent home here. The sanctuary has gotten lots of attention for breeding Eastern brown pelicans in captivity. As many as 500 "patients" can occupy the facility at one time. When you visit this attraction, you can see an impressive variety of winged creatures that include herons, egrets, cormorants, seagulls and more.
