Aston Gardens At Tampa Bay

Learn about the man who came from Cuba and built a city at the Ybor City Museum. Learn about the history of the cigar industry and cigar making, and discover the rich Latin heritage and culture of the area. The museum is located in a "casita", reminiscent of a typical cigar-worker's family home; the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visit the museum store to purchase fine hand-rolled cigars and memorabilia.

Dazzle your sweetheart on a sunset cruise aboard Tampa's Yacht Star Ship. Enjoy dinning selections from the executive chef's menu of award winning, four-star cuisine. After your meal, sip on fine wines or bar classics while dancing to the sounds of romantic music on the lounge deck underneath a blanket of stars.

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.
