Pier Aquarium at St Petersburg

The Pier Aquarium is a private, non-profit aquarium and marine education science center located in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida at The Pier on the waterfront. It is a really fun way to enjoy a day-out during your Holiday in St Petersburg.

Discover the fun, interactive “Fresh Fish Theatre” featuring live creatures from Tampa Bay and around the world. The action- and drama – never stops with a daily 1-4pm Touch Tank Experience and 3pm fish feeding. Students, teachers and visitors can experience the marine environment up close and personal through the innovative award-winning education programs on land and at sea.

Learn first hand from marine scientists about the fish and their habitats. See a video about Florida Red Tide. Hear the sounds in the sea through the mobile hydrophone installed underneath The Pier.

A hands-on discovery program will help you to understand the oceans, research and technology around the globe …and in Florida's own backyard – Tampa Bay!

Live "performances" in the Fresh Fish Theatre start at 1-4pm every day with Aquarium touch tank activities including "official" fish feeding at 3pm! On the second floor Aquarium, you can watch - and participate - in the action.

Help feed the fish and sharks and play a part as "An Official Fish Feeder!". Fish Feeders receive a certificate for their animal care assistance. Not only do they feed the fish, they learn up-close and personal some of the responsibilities and duties shared by Scientific Staff.

A recent addition to the daily program is the Wednesday "Celebrity Critter of the Week" scheduled from 1-3:30pm Get an up-close look at a featured critter, create a make-and-take craft project and the 3pm story time.
