At Florida Aquarium visitors get up and close with thousands of aquatic creatures from frogs to sharks. It is a good place to explore the beautiful creatures of the water, and one of the country's best designed marine life habitats. Definitely a city highlight, with several family sleepovers annually. This site-seeing company takes you on a panoramic view of Tampa's bays, backyards, and beaches. There is a Feeding Frenzy Tour on which visitors can help feed the animals.
Cabins are also available for overnight rental, to experience the nightly howling of the residents.
