ZooTampa at Lowry Park - Tampa (FL)

5 /5 Sunshine: Very cool experience! We went on a fresh day mid spring, which makes it more enjoyable. Most of the views are obviously outside, so I can’t imagine how bad it gets during summer. We didn’t get to see a couple of the animals, otherwise the rest were visible and towards the closing time we got to see a lot of monkeys up making noises which was really cool. There are nice attractions for toddlers and my kid loved everything. A good 2 hours minimum trip. I would definitely look into bringing my own food next time because I didn’t find anything worth consuming, so we got some hot dogs, which is not ideal for me.

5 /5 Kadie Hamner: First time visiting this zoo and it was nice. The manatee section was under construction, but the rest of the zoo seemed accessible. Kailey, the guide on the safari ride, was really good and engaging. I think the zoo would be really good for those with younger kids and toddlers; they would enjoy it a lot. Also side note, remember, summer time in Florida is very hot and humid, so keep that in mind if youre not from the area. Stay hydrated.

5 /5 Brian J.: What an amazing zoo!! Tons of activities for kids, tons of animals, so many places to grab food or drink! They’ve got smoked bbq, Asian, hot dogs, snacks, you name it. Nice gift shop. All kinds of different regions of animals. Africa, Australia, Asia, India, Florida, lots of birds, we had a great time here! Took us around 3-4 hours to see everything. Very cool!!

5 /5 Nashely Duran: I had a wonderful time at ZooTampa!!! One of the highlights was seeing the giraffes, especially the adorable moment with a baby giraffe resting next to its mom. it was so peaceful and heartwarming. The animals seemed healthy and relaxed. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and there were plenty of shaded spots and areas to cool off. Great place for families or anyone who loves animals. Highly recommend spending a few hours here!
