25 Fun Things to Do in Tampa with Kids of All Ages
"Visitors can expect meandering paths that wind through over 50,000 flowers and tropical plants, and past cascading waterfalls. Because of the fragility of the 100-year-old garden with many of the region’s oldest tropical plants, visitors are asked to stay on the paths, not climb garden structures, not touch plants, and not bother animals. Guests can participate in horticultural classes and demonstrations, or take a garden tour."

"Amazing, imaginative murals make Coppertail Brewing stand out long before you order your first beer. The brewery and the art are inspired by the mythical sea creature the founder’s daughter imagined lurking in the waters of the bay. Popular beers like Free Dive and Night Swim keep the nautical theme alive (just watch out for creatures of the deep)."

"Angry Chair Brewery is another new kid on the block giving the (slightly) more established craft breweries a run for their money. Founded by friends who decided that the corporate rat race was akin to an "Angry Chair," they have devoted their efforts to creating a selection of beers and a space to enjoy them where patrons can get away from their own angry chairs. With a cozy yet hip atmosphere and lots of seating, the tasting room is the perfect place to check out their signature German Chocolate Cupcake Stout and their Awakening Coffee Milk Stout."
