Gulf Beaches Historical Museum - St Pete BeachVANICE LAMBERT: I have been to the museum twice. It offers a great deal of historical information regarding coastal Pinellas County. From old documents to photographs to artifacts found on land and water. Seeing the old maps of Pinellas mangroves and orange groves to what it has now become is a bit sad. The WW2 room was my favorite. The museum can be done in 15 minutes for a quick walk through to it being a hours long excursion-it just depends on how much you want to delve into it. The volunteer docents are knowledgeable and are eager (sometimes too eager) to answer any questions. They also have free bags of goodies for children which was a nice touch.
The Florida Holocaust Museum - St. PetersburgMaksim Blair: This is a very emotionally powerful museum. It is designed to be child friendly, so it doesn’t go as in-depth as some museums on the subject I’ve been to. The volunteer was very helpful in describing the museum and exhibits. They had two temporary exhibits going on during my visit. I found the “We Share The Same Sky” exhibit to be the most moving. It was very touching and had many items that brought me back to the museums of Europe. I would definitely return in the future, it’s a really special place here in Florida to be able to reflect on exhibits and items that normally you would have to travel to Europe to see.
Sand Key Park - ClearwaterMcCabe Amy “Chaplain Amy”: Really nice spot to watch the sunset, especially all the way at the north end where the sailboats come floating by. There is a rock wall and beautiful trees if you like to take pics with a little depth to them.
Moccasin Lake Nature Park - Clearwaterrex donahough: 1 hour worth of trails
Small butterfly garden
Education areas with animals
Clean bathroom
Plenty of areas to sit and picnic
Tranquil little Park setback in the neighborhood, but the views once you get there couldnt be overstated. The amazing trail system is well taken care of and boasts plenty of boardwalks with beautiful Vistas. Small creeks and a river run through this park wonderfully pinpointed by a few ponds. There are some sunny areas, but its mostly a beautiful shaded walk through the woods. I definitely wasnt expecting there to be an Aviary showing off some of the areas bird culture, which was pretty amazing and educational.
Pier 60 Park - Clearwater BeachRai Vip “Rai like Rye bread”: Clearwater Parking was a super big issue!! Had to pay a minimum of $41.00. Yes, Minimum!! Wow! City parking at that! Every spot was taken.
Hilton was 20.00/hour.
Was expecting more entertainment and more food outlets. The peer itself had the usual vendors even though this was the opening day celebration.
Opening day for the Sand structures as well.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium - ClearwaterAnna Johnstone: What an unforgettable experience at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium! From the moment we arrived, the staff and volunteers made us feel welcome and engaged. The volunteers were amazing. They were so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to teach us about the animals and their rescue stories. One of the highlights was feeding the stingrays, which was such a fun and interactive moment for the whole family. This place is not just an aquarium, it’s a place with heart and purpose. We’ll definitely be back!
