The Pier Aquarium is an aquarium and a marine education center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Although, small in its 2000 square feet of an area, it is best known for its uniquely trained staff (who are most commonly students from local colleges and universities).

The Pier Aquarium is a great stop if you?re ever in the area and looking for something fun and educational to do. Again, the area may be small, but it is packed with scientific information about aquatic animals, oceans, and environmental issues. If you?re thinking about spending a whole day on the site, though, don?t. It is small, so you can pack other things to your day along with the visit here.

At the Pier Aquarium, you can find various water creatures from fishes to corals and many others. They are open all year long from 10 am to 8 pm.
