Cruise the Hillsborough With Tampa Bay Water Bikes
Tampa Bay Water Bikes are “The ultimate in human-powered watercraft.” They can’t tip over, so even the most apprehensive family member can relax while checking out Tampa’s skyline at 5 miles per hour. Children 6 and older can cruise the Hillsborough and drive their own water bike if they can reach the pedals. Younger children can play nearby at the Curtis Hixton playground.
Explore Adventure Island and Play at Busch Gardens
Imagine the look on your drenched teenager’s face after plummeting 70 feet down the new “Vanish Point Slide.” Picture your younger children giggling at the “Splash Attack.” Adventure Island was designed with your family in mind. The kids will beg to return before leaving the park. One solution is the “multi-park pass.” If they know a day at Busch Gardens is on the agenda, they should leave without causing a scene.
Staying well-fed and hydrated is essential to playing under the Florida sun. Adventure Island’s dining pass was created to keep your family healthy and happy. Plan ahead and check out their discount packages for all needs and budgets.
Staying at a hotel near the action means you will spend less time traveling and more time exploring.

Utilize the kitchenette and pool to soothe weary, overstimulated children.
