St. Pete Pier

In St. Petersburg, just past the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Pete's Pier juts out a mile from the waterfront.

Kids will have fun before they even get inside the Pier's unique inverted pyramid: you can feed the pelicans at the funky Pier Boathouse.

St. Pete's Pier Boathouse

Inside the Pier building is the Aquarium, shops, restaurants, and more. The Pier has plenty of fun events, live music -- check the web site for what's happening. The Pier is also the jumping-off point for excursions such as Duck Tours and catamaran trips.
