The Aquatarium (also known as Shark World) was a 17-acre amusement park and tourist attraction located in St. Pete Beach, Florida. It operated from 1964-1977, between 64th and 66th avenues. ==Aquatarium==
The Aquatarium opened in 1964, with its main attraction being shows featuring trained porpoises, sea lions, and pilot whales.〔(Tampa Bay Weekly ), "''Look back at Pinellas history recalls lost attractions''," by Lee Clark Zumpe (August 4th, 2005 - retrieved on September 20th, 2011).〕 Shows were staged under a 160-foot, golden geodesic dome, which sheltered the audience as they were seated around the world's largest circular marine tank〔(The New Yorker ), "''U.S. Journal: Pinellas County, Florida Attractions''," by Calvin Trillin (January 2nd, 1971 - retrieved on September 22nd, 2011).〕 (100 feet in diameter, 25 feet deep, containing 1.244 million gallons of seawater).〔(Florida Backroads ), "''Remembering the Aquatarium''," by Greg May (retrieved on September 20th, 2011).〕 The Aquatarium shows were billed as "''The World's Greatest Marine Show''," or "''World's Largest Marine Attraction''," and starred a dolphin named "Floppy." Floppy was famed for her 25-foot leaps into the air, leading to her characterization as "the world-champion high-jumping dolphin."〔(Florida Backroads ), "''Aquatarium: "The World's Greatest Marine Show!''," by Greg May (retrieved on September 20th, 2011).〕
