About this adventure

Spend an unforgettable weekend afternoon at the scenic St. Pete Pier! The Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center features a touch tank with live horseshoe crabs and sea stars, interactive watershed exhibits, and a 3,000-gallon marine species aquarium highlighting local estuarine recovery. Immediately steps away on the Pier grounds is the massive Glazer Family Playground with nautical rope climbing towers, slides, and the adjacent Spa Beach splash pad with interactive water jets. Wide stroller-friendly boardwalks, modern family restrooms with changing stations, multiple nursing benches, shaded dining spots, and sweeping waterfront views make this St. Petersburg's premier family destination.
