Join “Spring Seal-abration” at Clearwater Marine Aquarium!

Celebrate spring break with purpose during Spring Seal‑abration at Clearwater Marine Aquarium, featuring new animals, newly renovated habitats, and immersive, hands‑on experiences all March and April.

The stars of Spring Seal-abration are Scallop, Pharaoh and Ocean, CMA’s first-ever harbor seals. Their arrival also marks the debut of a newly renovated habitat designed to bring guests closer than ever to these charismatic marine mammals. The addition of harbor seals introduces an entirely new species experience for guests, expanding CMA’s rescue, rehabilitation and education mission and sharing unforgettable animal encounters and interactive programs.

The excitement continues above the water with four vibrant tropical birds, including Powder, Big Bird, Mr. Thumbs and Skipper, now part of the CMA family. These lively ambassadors add bursts of color and surprise encounters throughout the aquarium with daily educational bird presentations at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., up-close encounters and fun facts about their tropical ecosystems and conservation.
