The Busch or the beach?

Busch Gardens is the highlight of Tampa. Thrill-seekers will head straight for the Sheikra, the baddest roller coaster in the world. Rated #1 for its sheer drops and negative g-force, the Sheikra is not to be missed. Younger visitors will enjoy the splash parks and the train. And visitors of all ages should catch a show while in the park.

This amusement park has been dubbed a zoo in an amusement park. Flamingos, hippos, giraffes and lions can be heard and seen all through the park. Watch a peacock strut his stuff, or see the alligators lounging near the water. Orangutans hang out, just chilling on a hot day.

Tampa has more to offer

Big Cat Rescue of Tampa offers guest the chance to see leopards, lions, cheetahs and more. This animal rescue takes in big cats that have been cast-offs of the circus, side shows and breeders. They feed and house the cats and offer lifetime medical care. Visitors can find out the life-story and the background of each animal. The whole family will enjoy this stop.

Tampa Bay Downs offers horse-race fans the chance to enjoy catching a race and maybe even winning some money. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are based in Tampa and if they have a home game, you certainly don’t want to miss the chance to see this American team play football.

If you just want to relax and take in the view, head to the Tampa Riverwalk. Enjoy strolling along the water’s edge, looking out over the bay. Skaters, bikers and people walking their pets all use the riverwalk.

When all of the sightseeing has worked up your appetite, Bern’s Steakhouse will be waiting. Ranked as the #1 restaurant in Tampa, this steakhouse is actually famous for its Harry Waugh Dessert Room.
