Summer Sips & Sea Lions

Kick off the summer vibes with a special after-hours night at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Get exclusive early access to meet the newest locals - our resident sea lions—at the brand-new Pinniped Pier.

Along with the sea lion debut, guests can soak in stunning sunset views, explore the aquarium after regular hours, and enjoy full admission as part of the experience. Each adult ticket also comes with a complimentary drink, and food options will be available for purchase all evening long.

Throughout the night, the animal care team will host sea lion talks, sharing behind-the-scenes insights into how these new arrivals are being cared for and what it takes to welcome them home.

It’s a laid-back, summer evening experience you won’t want to miss at one of Clearwater’s favorite spots.
