Teddy and the other coaches are knowledgable, encouraging, and supportive to every child. My son struggles with new experiences and has difficulty with stamina. He ended each day of camp in such a great mood, feeling so positive and excited about his day. I feel that my 7 year old was seen, encrouaged, and challenged appropriately during his time with TBDA. We plan to continue attending TBDA sessions through the school year. Thanks so much Teddy and coaches for being a light in this city. You are all a blessing! My son tells me he is the GOAT =)

The educational aspect is top-tier. The exhibits and animals appear well cared for and I was especially impressed with the ground level Marsh/mangrove display with a large assortment of birds mingling out in the open with visitors making it really beautiful and immersive. I was there shortly after opening on a Saturday and it got busy quickly, which, considering the layout could be a problem on a more crowded day. Out of the two aquariums I've visited in the Bay Area both are worth the visit but this is the better one in my opinion.

Finding parking can be very challenging. And when you find one, it's not going to cheap. This is not a huge aquarium in comparison to a few others I have visited. But it's nice and quaint enough that you'll enjoy yourself. Man of the pools with fish are close enough, that you can really see them and the animals well. Small children seemed to really enjoy being at eye-level with a lot of the tanks. They have both fresh water and salt water fish and wildlife to explore. They offer a 10% for military and veterans.

My group was brought over from our hotel on trolleys and directed up a flight of stairs. Once we found the correct door, we were led into the dolphin room. We had cocktail hour there, which was cool - as we could walk around the dolphin exhibit while enjoying a cocktail (or 3). After cocktails, we went upstairs to a ballroom area and had dinner and drinks, listened to award presentations, and then had a live band with karaoke. The catering staff was great, although the fish entree was cold and not very flavorful (not the fault of the aquarium IMO). This was a highlight of my business trip and I thoroughly enjoyed the dolphins.

I'm not one for leaving bad reviews, but the Clearwater Marine Aquarium was a little disappointing…read more There is a large tank when you first walk in to the aquarium that was completely empty. Literally no fish whatsoever. You walk around the tank as you walk around the aquarium there are window all the way around, but again, the tank was completely empty. There were other areas of the aquarium that were under construction due to either renovations or expansion. Due to this there were multiple enclosures that had no fish are animals to view. It's a little disappointing when you are traveling for vacation and the aquarium was the place that your daughter was looking forward to the most. All this while still charging full price for admission. All that being said, they have a very friendly and informed staff and volunteers that clearly do a lot for the marine life. It is very commendable the way they are nursing injured marine life back to health. Definitely more of a rescue center than an aquarium.

We've been to the Straz a few times for touring Broadway productions, but this was our first time at Patel (which is part of the same building). We saw SpongeBob the Musical. It's was, I believe, high school and college age performers. And they were amazing! They were every bit as good as the pros. Yes, it's a little lower budget, of course! But still just as dynamic and entertaining. The theatre itself is a little smaller than others, but plenty big. We are fans of Mezzanine so we chose seats in a box. It was perfect! There are few concessions; consisting of drinks and snacks (candy, chips, etc). Restrooms on each floor. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and look forward to seeing more productions at Patel.

Later, they admitted loaning the field to a collegiate team, but would not pay for the window. It's my fault for not taking this to small claims court, as my window wasn't cheap.
