Tampa Bay is one of Florida’s most ambitious and exciting places to visit. It’s a huge city with some of the top attractions in the state alongside some quaint and quiet activities for someone looking to get off the beaten path. It is often seen as the best of both worlds. There’s rip-roaring fun if you want it, and quiet relaxation for the laid-back vacationers of the world.
The Florida Aquarium and Busch Gardens are two of the most exhilarating attractions in the city. They both offer thrills, from the shark tanks of the aquarium to the upside-down coasters of the theme park.
