1. ZooTampa at Lowry Park
Home to more than 1,300 animals, this zoo also runs the country?s only non-profit hospital and rehabilitation centre for injured West Indian manatees?also known as sea cows. Kids will love the Australia-themed water park, the new Roaring Springs water ride and the African area, where they can feed lettuce leaves to hungry giraffes.

2. Tampa Bay History Center
Twelve thousand years of local history is housed in this museum on the Riverwalk, including a cute replica of a Florida Cracker house, where your kids can play make-believe. Start with the Tocobaga First Nation, who first called the waters of Tampa Bay home. Next, head to Treasure Seekers, an immersive pirate experience that explores Florida?s history of pirates, conquistadors and shipwrecks with actual Spanish treasure recovered from a sunken ship.

3. Florida Aquarium
Tampa?s historic yellow streetcars?a free and fun ride?take you straight to the Florida Aquarium, which has more than 7,000 aquatic plants and animals. Meet the resident penguins in the lobby (their schedule varies), check out the adorable river otters and ring-tailed lemurs and watch the lovely egrets and white ibises flying around the stunning indoor mangrove aviary. 4-D movie screenings, which combine 3-D movies with extra sensory effects like bubbles, mist and seat vibrations, should not be missed.
