Day 3: Tampa The Florida Aquarium (813-273-4000, www.flaquarium.org) in downtown Tampa provides a fitting grand finale for your fishy Florida foray. Shaped like a giant scallop shell, its glass dome encases a giant aviary full of wetlands creatures, including colorful birds like the pink roseate spoonbill. Other exhibits spotlight eveything from the snook that dart among mangrove roots in estuaries to the alligators that skim freshwater ponds to the brightly-hued fish, eels and sharks of Florida’s coral reefs. The aquarium’s Explore A Shore is an outdoor water park designed especially for young children. Look into >>> Pier 60, Clearwater Beach a line from the fishing pier.
