It’s best to time your visit during the fall season (September-December). Most hotel rates are cut down to half, and the weather is ideal for the outdoors, ranging between 54oF to 85oF.
Peak season happens between January and April when winter travelers are looking for a quick getaway. If you plan to visit during this season, reserve your flight a few weeks in advance to save a few bucks.
Summertime also invites lots of tourists. There are more people in Tampa Bay since kids are also out of school. Although, temps can be sticky hot at 86oF. Unless you plan to stay by the beaches, summertime can be challenging.
