In St. Petersburg, children have miles of beach nestled along the Gulf of Mexico to explore. One fun way to see the city in comfort is a ride on the St. Petersburg Trolley as it makes its way to The Pier, a landmark that has been around since 1914.

The view of the bay is exciting and boat rides are available so kids can explore the depths of the Pier Aquarium. With your auto donation, a day at The Pier is a reality for children and their families.
