The Aquatarium, Marine amusement park in St. Pete Beach, Florida, US

The Aquatarium was a 17-acre marine amusement park between 64th and 66th avenues in St. Pete Beach. Its shows took place under a 160-foot golden geodesic dome, where the audience sat around a circular tank 100 feet across and 25 feet deep holding 1.244 million gallons of seawater.

The park opened in 1964 as a new attraction for families visiting Florida's coast. It closed in 1977 when visitor patterns shifted and keeping the facility open became economically unfeasible.

The facility showcased daily performances by trained dolphins and sea lions that visitors could watch up close. These marine animal shows were a central part of how people experienced and enjoyed their time at the park.
