Tampa Hotels and City Guide

Tampa is an up and coming city pleased to offer fantastic dining options, great theme parks, cool shopping districts and an awesome nightlife. Stunning skyscrapers, large malls, the Hillsborough River snaking through the city, a beautiful waterfront and great hotels all create this wonderful city. Everywhere you go there’s something worth exploring. Choose to relax or put on your walking shoes and see for yourself why so many are flocking to this Floridian city.

So now you know about the great districts, the endless shopping venues, where to grab a good bite to eat and even learn a bit of Tampa’s history. But chances are if you’re interested in Tampa, you’re looking for a bit of adventure. Bush Gardens is a huge theme park and zoo combined into one. With Africa as its theme, you’ll be treated to an amazing time where fun is the primary goal. Its zoo has over 2,700 animals and is one of the country’s premier zoos. It also has a great selection of shows, restaurants and shops. But if thrills are what you’re after, make your way through the theme park and enjoy one exciting ride after another. Whether you’re swirling, twisting, dropping or soaring, you’ll love each and every one of the rides here. And when you get up close to any one of the rollercoasters, you really try to figure out how it’s possible to make the steel (or wood) bend the way it does. You’ll have lots of time to think about it when you’re doing 360s in the air. Need to cool off? Make your way to Bush Garden’s neighbor – Adventure Island. There are 30 acres of water packed with slides, pools, playgrounds and waterfalls. Dry off playing in the arcades, during a game of volleyball or by soaking up the rays. Rather try to understand the water then be soaked by it? Tampa’s 200,000 sq-ft aquarium is a must for anyone who loves water. You can explore the wetlands, learn about seahorses and stingrays, or get up close with a shark. In fact, if you’re a certified scuba diver you can even swim in the shark tank. I’m not sure why you’d want to but if that’s your thing, this is the place to be. The aquarium really is a site to see. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to explore everything it offers.

Feel the rush of the rides, enjoy fine cuisine and look for the best deals. Tampa is a beautiful city that offers fun and excitement for anyone who comes for a visit.
