The Florida Aquarium
The 250,000 sq-ft Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa is where you’ll get up close to many of Florida’s aquatic and terrestrial animals and ecosystems. You can also swim or dive side-by-side with many types of sea life native to Florida, including hundreds of reef fishes, sea turtles, moray eels, sand sharks and much more.

There are eight animal habitats to explore at Florida’s largest aquarium! For even more thrills, add a Penguin Backstage Pass, Shark Swim, or Wild Dolphin Cruise to your experience; ask for details when you arrive at The Florida Aquarium.

ZooTampa at Lowry Park
Across town at ZooTampa, you’ll find 56 acres of naturalistic animal exhibits in a lush, tropical garden setting. Experience rides like the family water adventure Roaring Springs and Expedition Africa, the open-air safari vehicle tour narrated with behind-the-scenes views of dozens of animals. You can also have fun with up-close encounters alongside penguins, tortoises, rhinos and elephants. Leopards and tigers, manatees and orangutans, chimpanzees, giraffes and panthers are just a few of the hundreds of amazing animals located across the park. The Zoo offers popular educational programming and fun recreational amenities, interactive exhibits, and water play areas for which it has won accolades as one of the country’s most family-friendly zoos.
