Clearwater Marine Aquarium serves as both a rehabilitation facility for animals as well as an educational facility where visitors can learn more about aquatic life, ecology, and the role which wildlife plays in it through fascinating exhibits and attractions.  Don't let the small size of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium fool you. It is very big on ensuring the survival of marine life in the area. While offering visitors the chance to see marine fauna, the aquarium is also a facility in which injured animals go through an extensive rehabilitation process before returning to their natural habitats. Visitors learn about ecology and how important it is to respect the wildlife that inhabit it. Some of the creatures that you'll see here include sharks, otters, dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays. Stop in at the gift shop during your visit. The proceeds from purchases go towards helping fund this nonprofit organization.

The Francis Wilson Playhouse continues to preserve the tradition of classic stage performance in Clearwater. This vintage entertainment venue balances its impressive heritage with a hint of modern flourishes while never betraying the artistic integrity of the playwrights, performers and directors who create what is eventually presented on stage. The theater boasts some of the best and most respected actors in the area who have worked hard to build a reputation for the best local theater experience in Clearwater.
