Have Your Pet's Photo Taken With Dolphins At Clearwater Aquarium

CLEARWATER, FL — At past sessions, residents have brought their pet iguanas, cats and guinea pigs to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to have their photos taken with the always-playful and comedic resident dolphin, Nicholas.

This Saturday, pet owners will have a chance to do it again when the aquarium hosts its Pet Photo Session from 9 to 10 a.m.

This is a limited-time opportunity for your dog, cat or other pet to have a photo session with one of the aquarium's rescued dolphins in front of the new underwater windows.

Each package includes a digital gallery with five expertly edited images.

Space is limited, so be sure to register here.

If you miss this month, you still have a chance to have a pet photo session on Saturday, Feb. 12 and March 12.

This weekend also happens to be "Go Wild Weekend" at the aquarium, 249 Windward Passage, Clearwater.

Residents are invited to "Go Wild" with a special animal experience, featuring birds of prey, alligators and other rescued wildlife, Jan. 15-17.

Animal lovers can learn all about a variety of wild species with rescued animals from partner organizations and educational activities on biodiversity.

The experience will be different each day and will feature rescued animals and educational activities in the R.O. Jacobson Education Center on the second level. All activities are included with admission to the aquarium.

Rescued wildlife will be presented by Owl’s Nest Sanctuary, Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center, Seaside Seabird Sanctuary and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's Gopher Tortoise Program.

Residents will see various raptors, reptiles including alligators, and amphibians.
