St. Petersburg
This museum is beautiful. The building itself is a masterpiece. High recommended checking it out if you're in the area.
The Dalí Museum
From the small aquarium to the cute little ice cream shop, the pier is a go-to if you're visiting the area.
St. Pete Pier
If you love anything history related, this is a great museum to visit. The layout is great. I definitely reccomend visiting if you're in the area.
St. Petersburg Museum of History
This is a super cool immersive art experience! Definitely check it out if you're in the area. We had so much fun!

Largo
My favorite time of the year to come here is during Christmas! They decorate tons of trees with lights! There's hot cocoa and food vendors. We come back year after year, but this park is also a great place to go to take a breather and unwind!
Largo Central Park
Seminole
This park is also a great option for parks in the area! I love the boardwalk and observation tower, and I'd say that it's a bit more quiet than Lake Seminole Park.
Boca Ciega Millennium Park
I frequent this park often! I love how scenic it is and how big the park is even though it's right in the middle of town.
Lake Seminole Park
Tampa
This is one of my top five favorite theme parks. I LOVE animals and rollercoasters. Highly recommend coming here if you love a thrill!
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
This place is a great place to take the kids on a rainy day! There's laser tag, mini golf, bowling, and more!
Elev8 Fun Tampa
If you're in the Tampa Bay area, this is a super cool place to visit. There's a ton of history here about WW2 and the Vietnam War!
American Victory Ship & Museum
This aquarium is stunning! There's so many different kinds of sea life to see! It's the perfect place to visit on a rainy day if you live in Florida.
The Florida Aquarium
Clearwater
This aquarium has dolphins, unlike the aquarium in Tampa Bay. You can view them from the top deck or down below. There's tons of other sea life to see and hands-on things to do. It's the perfect place for kids!
