What Clients Are Saying about Penguin Beach (on GG)
5 /5 Abel Abad: It was so amazing, my children were so happy, we didn’t know that in Africa life penguins. Great experience
5 /5 A Ford: Got to meet the penguins. They have a great habitat to swim and socialize in, as well as come in or out depending on their mood
Sometimes they wait in front of the fence for feeding time, just as all the humans complaining about that would do
1 /5 Gean Trabal: Poor sad penguins making someone rich. This is just sad. Pls keep your money else where and watch penguins online
5 /5 Rola Masri: Very cool place good for kids
3 /5 Nareshkumar Acharya: This place is located inside ZooTampa at Lowry Park. It hosts several penguins.
Seaplane Basin Park - TampaSupun Attanayake: The place is spacious and aesthetic. Not much to see other than the beautiful ocean. The sunsets can be called the most beautiful. The road is paved for skating,cycling, walking, jogging etc. No park entrance fee or parking fee. Dog park is just nearby. No on site personnels. The side walk is not available in some areas of the routes. The old degraded boats need to be removed.
SheiKra - TampaDen Tholense: This ride is build for adrenalin junkies. I was a bit scared but the ride was awesome! The splashzone is really cool although the water was warm as well. A little bit theming around the area makes this ride very nice to see and there are plenty of photo spots nearby and at the spot.
Croc Encounters - TampaPaul Jozefak: We had a great time with our almost 9 year old. He really enjoyed being able to hold a python and a gator. The tour is quite comprehensive and DJ was a fun guide. I wound recommend that they get the repairs on the boardwalk through the park done. At times I was a bit concerned about all the little kids potentially getting hurt but I am totally aware of cost constraints and am glad that this sanctuary exists. I am sure keeping it running is more important for the animals than making it perfect. Hence I also recommend folks go there. Keeping this business running is probably tough and I am quite confident that the deal you get (4 people for 100 bucks) is one of the better ones in Florida. Go during the week and off-season if possible to get smaller groups. Also go to the bathroom at home. There are Porta Potties but I’d only consider those a fail safe.
New Tampa Nature Park - Tamparex donahough: Its about a half day park, but its attached to other parks.
Has a couple of play areas, not a lot, though.
Paved trail goes to other long bike trails.
No restrooms other than a port-a-potty
Its definitely a nice little Park, unfortunately youll never not hear the highway. Still, there are a few beautiful Cypress swamps and a couple of nice Boardwalk areas to chill out in. Plenty of picnic areas to stop and soak in nature with. BE AWARE that all of the hiking trails seem to dead end, but the paved trail goes out to more paved trails that lead into other parks adjacent to this one.
Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park - TampaCat Wilson.: We loved the riverfront park, a lot to do in the area ( basketball, tennis, pickleball, running, exercising equipment) we loved the splash pad and the park, after playing about we walked the riverside and it was very peaceful and calming. We watched a few boats pass us by very friendly folks aboard, we all loved seeing all the art work. Beautiful environment !! We will be returning soon!!!
Lowry Park - TampaErika Linares: Lowry Park is a peaceful and charming place to unwind and reconnect with nature. It’s perfect for a walk, breathing fresh air, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon surrounded by trees and wildlife.
One of the highlights is the playful presence of squirrels, which add a joyful touch to the experience. The park also runs alongside a calm river, offering a beautiful view and a relaxing atmosphere to sit, reflect, or just watch the water flow by.
Whether you’re going for a morning walk, a quiet moment with a book, or a little escape from the noise of the city, Lowry Park is a lovely spot to enjoy the simple beauty of nature.
Cobras Curse - TampaNoah Von Dauber: Cobras Curse is one of the most unique roller coasters I have ever ridden. It starts off with an elevator that takes you to the top, and then you glide through the rest of it as your cart spins around randomly, which in my opinion adds to the thrill, especially when youre going straight backwards!
Riverview Terrace Park - TampaReddgie Thormann: Its okay. Not a pretty park but it worked for what I needed it for. I put in a workout here during lunch hours and I had the park to myself, even though school was out. The basketball court is slippery due to fading paint so be careful while playing basketball. Interestingly, there is a roller-blade hockey rink at this park. Thats about it. Just an ordinary park.
