The Real Maids

Pay tribute to the men and women in blue at the Victory Mariners Memorial and Museum Ship. The museum crews take pride in the WWII ship that's fully operational and sails in the "Living History Day Cruises." Come aboard the national treasure and American icon to tour its nine decks.

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.
