What travellers are saying
- Artur HSao Paulo, SP304 contributionsCheap toll to go over a beautiful bridge.
There are 2 fishing piers, one on each side of the bridge. Super tall bridge with amazing views across the road.Written 21 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Dea HTampa, FL20 contributionsThey are so big cat oriented and not out make money off their rescues. They give the best care possible with compassionate caretakers that provide for the big cats.Written 21 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tahnoya d1 contributionLiterally it’s just walking around n looking at the view of you don’t like walking you won’t like this it’s also better if you have money to stop somewhere and eatWritten 20 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kyla1098Clarksburg, WV94 contributionsThe only negative I have to say is there is so much circling around and you're not entirely sure if you've seen it all. The app is very helpful but you have to make sure you click all the right things to check the animals off the list. We went on a hot day that turned to rain. Some animals weren't out that's to be expected. Some animals though were just impossible to see or get good angles because of their enclosure. The is some cover from the rain but few and far between. Food and drink is reasonably priced. They do have some unusual zoo animals like Okapi and Shoebill Storks that are only in a few zoos in all of the United States. It is worth a look. If you're into doing other things in Tampa look at the City Pass it saved a ton of money.Written 20 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TheGrewalsRipon, WI3 contributionsIt was a good rainy day activity. It was very crowded the day we went and we were done in about 2 hours. Nice exhibits. Wish there were turtles or a manatees. Thought it was a little expensive when you have to pay for parking too.Written 24 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Charlottetiller19 contributionsBusch gardens is the best park and you have to do the Serengeti Safari experience it was the most amazing experience ever .we were lucky enough to get the tour just me and my partner which was very surprising as it’s very popular .
The team which were Gwen , mckenzie ,Liza and the amazing camera lady maleena
They were all so amazing and so friendly and you can tell how much they care and love each animal. gwen was very funny always cracking a joke,mckenzie was telling us the best facts and was very efficient, Liza kept us safe and maleena took some amazing pictures which we purchased and we will treasure forever .
They made our experience magical .
We got to feed some majestic giraffes which was a first for me and my partner all the team helped and explained each step which made it easy and so fun. so if you haven’t done it yet you need to get down there and see these amazing people and these beautiful animal . We will defo be visiting again in the future .Written 20 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Gwen MAtlanta, GA24 contributionsTotally enjoyed my visit to this park, My sister lives in the area and took me there. Had an awesome experience, trails and nature walk, very therapeutic also.Written 25 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jorge SFort Lauderdale, FL145 contributionsA few blocks full of bars/restaurants and some shops... nice historic feeling and... that's it. Not easy access from the hotels nearby (not very safe to go walking from hotels to there)Written 1 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sandra CBrookfield, WI139 contributionsThis really isn't a place to visit, but a great drive to/from the downtown area. Exceptional homes to view along the way.Written 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- mmayfield1985Riverview, FL260 contributionsAmalie Arena has been my favorite place to go to when there is a specific concert that’s comes to the Greater Tampa Bay Area. This time it was for a Lightning game against the Montreal Canadiens at the beginning of April. The same great service that my mom and I have experienced for a concert or performance, we got the same great customer service during the lighting game.Written 19 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Susan S5 contributionsWhat a wonderful idea to get as many cars off the street as possible. There was always enough room, engineers are helpful, pleasantWritten 25 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- gheartgeminiChicago, IL280 contributionsWonderful children’s museum! So much for kids of all ages to do! There is two levels to museum with elevator access for those pushing strollers or wheelchairsWritten 2 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- aeolos747Atlanta, GA69 contributionsNice little museum in a very cool building. If you are a history or architecture buff it’s worth a visit. The little museum is on the ground floor of one wing of the building and tells the story of this former hotel and includes many Victorian age pieces original to the hotel. Visit takes about an hour with the free audio tour from your cell phone.Written 17 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Pam DHighland Park, IL516 contributionsLooking for something to do in Tampa which is complimentary and offers tasting samples? Yuengling Brewery offers free tours of their Brew Factory many times a day so, the Kid and I were in!
Yuengling IS the oldest Brewery in the US! It originally began in Pottsville, Pa in 1829, that's 191 years old.
YEP! It beats out it's Budweiser, the competition by several years. BW was "born" in 1852. The Eagle is original to Yuengling and when BW decided to sue Yuengling for the Eagle copyright, BW lost.
Back to the tour. The tour is very casual but, organized. Meet in the Guest Center, sign in the guest book, grab a wristband and then wait for the tour to begin. While waiting, one can browse the Gift Shop, walk the grounds or enjoy a beer before the Tour.
A short oral presentation along with a short film is given at the beginning of the tour. You will be split into smaller groups (no more than 20 people) so, you can hear the Guide's complete description as you move from building to building. HEADS UP: NO photos are allowed in the interior except for the Guest Center. Yuengling is very sensitive to their formula and processing. It's ok, cause you can still take some great exterior photos.
The tour last for about 90 minutes. There are stairs and it's all walking so, wear comfy shoes. Parking is also FREE. Q & A's are encouraged!
After the tour, you can enjoy popcorn and 2 complimentary samples back at the Guest Center.
Great 1st date!Written 14 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Andrea IMurfreesboro, TN89 contributionsVisited this museum with our 10yo and we all enjoyed it. It had a lot of great displays and several short movies to learn even more. We spent about 2-3 hours here and we were able to take in most of the displays. They are part of the Southeastern Museum Conference so you can get free or discounted admission to museums all over the Southeast if you get a membership.Written 19 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
