American House - Zephyrhills

Rent a canoe from Canoe Escape, located minutes from downtown Tampa. Take the whole family on a paddling adventure on the Hillsborough River that surrounds a 16,000 acre wildlife preserve. Pack a lunch and bring your camera to capture pictures of the alligators, snakes, turtles and birds you'll see on your adventure.

Discover family fun times three at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. You'll get entrance to lush tropical gardens, see exotic animals and experience the fun of amusement rides and other attractions. Explore walkways that resemble the African wilderness, get nose-to-nose with a giraffe on a safari across the Serengeti Plains, and test your nerves on the pulse-pounding SheiKra roller coaster.

Over 1,000 of the world's most talented artists vie for the 300 spots available at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts. The free sidewalk festival turns the streets of downtown Tampa into an open-air art museum for you to discover colorful, original art, live entertainment, and lots of fun activities for the kids.
