The Florida Aquarium: what do users think?

Nahid Ahmed: Dream placeVisited on Weekend Wait time 1 hr+ …

Katlin F: We always make sure to visit this aquarium when in the area! It’s so fun and neat! Love the splash pad for the littles.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes …

Austin Rohrer: A wonderful aquarium that is a must-visit if you're in Tampa! They have so many unique tanks with a vast array of species. It's very interactive for both adults and children. The staff are incredibly helpful and well-educated about the wildlife. Make it a point to stop here and plan for 4 to 6 hours to see the entire place. Prices for food, gifts, drinks, and more are reasonable and relative to the experience. FAIR WARNING: BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE AS THEY REQUIRE IT IF PAYING WITH CREDIT CARD.

Bud Howard: Very well planned out, the hands on opportunities were extraordinary. It was clean and operating smoothly. I would recommend visiting to anyone with time to visit.

Bonnie Oriol: I'm not quite sure how or why it took me so long to learn about the existence of this place but let me tell you, this is hands down the best Aquarium I've ever been to! Took me daughter and granddaughter yesterday for Mother's Day, and we had such a blast! The Splash pad was absolutely awesome! The exhibits were so clever and really gave you a chance to be up close and personal with the wildlife!Only downside in my opinion, was the cost of parking, but, I paid $20 for valet service which included 3 hours of parking time.Other than that, it was so much fun and we can't wait to go back!! Highly recommend!! Also, buy your tickets in advance to avoid waiting in line for them.

Dominga Thomas: Very nice place!

ana ворк: 50% changed to new fishes, corals, etc👍👍👍 compared with 2023. In the cafe very delicious fries and pizza pie!! Very convenient food ordering system. The staff is super friendly!

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: what do users think?

Patrick Bon Cesário: Visited on Weekday Wait time 10–30 min

Sylvia Manning: We went for the wine and food festival and this was a great idea. This is an adult outing to definitely enjoy. I truly enjoyed the entertainment, food, drinks exploring food and drinks from Canada, USA, especially. We're all great.Visited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes …

Cary bg: . Security is another factor I had to watch out for. I made sure I had my eyes on the little ones the whole time. Never leave them alone. Even on rides, I watch the whole time and I am with them, the whole time. Kids love to run. Be ready to run. And I always coach parents. stop yelling at your kids because you are tired or impatient. If you are going to Busch for the day, get a good solid 8 hours of sleep the day before or you will be burnt out and a mess. Take vitamins, also. Be prepared to run around. Now to the park itself. They have lots of animals, and shows, and rides. The shows are always great. WE go to as many shows as we can. And ideally you have an older family member or friend watch the little ones so they can run around and go on the different rides. If you manage it well it is fantastic. If you don't mind spending hundreds, and being an exhausted parent then you will have the best outing. Its great for Birthdays. Even older kids. Teens love it. We loved it. The food is okay. Be prepared for high cost water. That really pisses me off that they charge for water. Something you need and they don't let you bring in, that's a rip off and its not okay that they do that. I guess they have to have security. But don't charge $7 or 10. for water. Give me a break. So be prepared for that. And I don't let our kids have too much sugar because that will make them hyper and erratic. Although we love the Funnel cake. So its a gret time but it has its challenges. Have fun.

Michael Kronmann (despair): Best coasters in florida besides maybe seaworld. I will say vilosacoster and mummy will always be im my favorites for florida but busch gardens has so many more coasters and no screens and the price is right

Tampa Bay History Center: what do users think?

Jennifer Casti: Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure

Tracey Sanderson: The Tampa Bay History Center is a good way to get a better understanding of the area. The center discusses the Seminole Indians and the challenges they faced as the area was being settled by Europeans. There were a few other exhibits relevant to the area. Plan to spend a few hours at the center to get the most from the experience.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

Natalia Spinelli: Great museum full of history! Exhibits are easy to read with plenty to see. Love the living history Saturday. The Columbia cafe that is onsite is a great place to have lunch and then continue exploring their exhibits. They have lots of videos on YouTube, lots of events scheduled and walking tours! This is a very active museum so becoming a member is worth it if you live nearby!

alexa: . its very interactive and fun, but if you do the pirate show, it's only 8 minutes, but I recommend it, but it can be pretty scary for kids because of all the fire and wind. and lastly, the food. the food was SO GOOD!! it was Columbian themed food, so they are all Columbian dishes. i

Amy Helwig: , especially the interactive film, “Pirate’s Fate.” It was fabulous and our adult children “fired a cannon” as part of the interaction. We all felt like kids in that well thought out room , which is also decorated with period pieces to enhance the experience. My only regret was arriving too late to really take in the full experience. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy history!
