Looking
for
Tampa Attractions and Things to Do?Beaches, Sports, and Theme Parks, all in one place!Whether you are thinking about moving here or just coming for a visit, it has it all. In fact the reason that I built this site is to put all of the things to do in the Tampa Bay area in one place. I also want to share with you why you should visit and encourage you to take advantage of what the city has to offer if you already live here.
So what makes this place so great? Well… For starters the weather here is about as close to perfect as it gets. With an average high in January of 70 degrees, I often call to my family back home in North Carolina with my favorite question, “So…how’s the weather up there?” I ask this really already knowing the answer (usually about 40 or 50 degrees), since I just looked it up on weather.com. Bright, sunny days on almost a daily basis. I was shocked when I first moved down here and noticed that even on cloudy days the sun still shone brightly, blinding me. On top of some of the best weather in the country, the Tampa Bay area (which includes Clearwater and St. Petersburg) has an almost endless supply of things to do. No matter your mood or budget there is something for you and the entire family. Looking for beaches? Well you won’t have to travel far as the Bay Area is home to some of the best beaches in the country! Fort De Soto Park, Caladesi Island State Park, and nearby Siesta Key have all been ranked in the top ten by Dr. Beach as some of the top beaches in the U.S. Activities galore include the best mid-size zoo in the country, Lowry Park Zoo. Also you have one of the largest zoos in the Southeastern U.S. in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, which dubs as a theme park. Okay so what else? Well… Five professional sports teams within an hour and a half drive of Tampa:
There are also theaters, aquariums, tampa bay dinner cruises, nature parks, golf courses, Caribbean cruises, charter boats, shopping malls, water parks, and museums. If you ever run out of things to do or just want a change of scenery you can always take a short one hour drive to the Family Entertainment Capital of the World…… Orlando, FL! Home of the “World’s Most Famous Mouse”. In Orlando the fun never stops with over 8 theme parks and 3 water parks. In addition to the parks there are many restaurants, attractions, family fun centers, and other things to do. As you can see there are tons of things to do in the Bay Area. It is my job to help you sort through those things to find the best things to do, especially if you are visiting and short on time. I will give you my take on the following and hopefully help you to enjoy this great city as much as I do, whether you already live here or are just visiting.
