Winter the dolphin memorialized in new Clearwater exhibit
June 27, 2025 - New at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is Tales of Winter the Dolphin, an exhibit dedicated to the life and legacy of the dolphin whose survival story was depicted in two successful Dolphin Tale movies. The exhibit follows Winter’s life from her rescue and the loss of her tail to the invention of her groundbreaking prosthetic. Along with props from the films, visitors can view a life-sized replica of the crab trap that entangled Winter, explore realistic prosthetic tail models and learn how innovation and science came together to support her recovery. Winter lived at the Clearwater facility from 2005 until her death in 2021.
