Area Entertainment

Living in Tampa gives you so many choices for entertainment.  Busch Gardens - Africa gives you thrill rides, such as Sheekra - a floorless roller coaster, and Adventure Island water park.  The beaches of Pinellas and Pasco County are nearby, and Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are about 90 minutes away, and Kennedy Space Center is just under 3 hours.

Tampa Bay is home to several professional sports teams: Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL), Tampa Bay Rays (MLB) and the baseball spring training home of the NY Yankees (Tampa), Philadelphia Phillies (Clearwater), and the Toronto Blue Jays (Dunedin).

The Tampa Performing Arts Center is located downtown.  The Florida Aquarium is in Channelside.  The Ford Amphitheater is located on I-4, across from the Hard Rock Hotel Casino.

Or, just take a stoll on the world's longest continuous sidewalk on Bayshore Boulevard.
