About
Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center sits right on the St. Pete Pier, giving you direct access to the bay while you explore what lives in it. The center spans about 5,000 square feet of indoor space, with 2,000 square feet dedicated to exhibits. You can take wildlife boat tours aboard a 45-foot catamaran called Discovery, or join daily hands-on science programs. The center runs summer camps, monthly homeschool programs, and specialized offerings like Bay Babies for young children ages 3 to 6, plus sensory programs designed for families and individuals on the autism spectrum. They also offer hands-on dissection programs featuring lionfish, squid, and shark. If you're planning a celebration, the center hosts private events including birthday parties and boat charters.
