bonvoyage88 Posted April 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2012 We are booked to stay two days in Tampa prior to our cruise. We have planned to visit the Tampa Aquarium and Lowery Zoo. Does anyone have any suggestions on any other must see/do for Tampa? We'll be staying at the Embassy Suites downtown. Any nearby restaurant suggestions would be helpful as well. Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanker4 Posted April 26, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Busch Gardens isn't too far from the downtown area. Just head North on I-275. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone Cruiser Posted April 27, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2012 A great pre-cruise dinner is The Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City. If you go, pay the extra cover charge for the flamenco dancing...it's worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecruiser09 Posted June 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The Aquarium and Zoo are great especially if you have kids. Columbia Restaurant is amazing too--awesome salad!!! Busch Gardens is fun but if you only have 2 days, I would do the aquarium and Lowry Park Zoo instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwilk1129 Posted June 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2012 If you are beach people go over to St Pete beaches. They are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tips2Cruise Posted June 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I actually live in Tampa so maybe I can help. The Zoo and Aquarium are great but I would also suggest Busch Gardens as the previous poster did. Ybor City can be fun as there are lots of bars, restaurants, and cigar bars. At night it's buzzing with nightlife. Anything else you need to know just send me a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
