We are taking the kids (6 & 2) to Tampa in a few months and I am trying to decide what area will be best for us to stay in. We are planning on doing Busch Gardens, the aquarium, possibly going up to Disney for a day, maybe the beach... we haven't made any definite plans yet. We are leaning towards an AirBnB rather than a hotel. Any recommendations of where to stay/kid friendly restaurants/things to do would be much appreciated!

*Not trying to hijack, I am happy to start another thread if needed I just figured I would start here since it was on the front page already!

Tampa has lots of great kid friendly options. Tourism is huge for this town, you won’t find many places that aren’t kid friendly.

Lowry Park Zoo, the Florida Aquarium and Busch Gardens are all good choices. There’s also the Glazer Children’s Museum. Especially for kids as young as yours. If willing to make a small trek you can do the Clearwater Aquarium which is where Winter the dolphin lives (made famous by the Dolphins Tale movies.)

There are tons of AirBnB’s and many are very inexpensive. Some can be in some sketchy areas. Look at Seminole Heights or the core of the City. Ybor is an option too; but, can be a bit gritty.

All of the restaurants I mentioned earlier are kid friendly. Bern’s is really more geared towards a romantic evening with your spouse. The Columbia has flamenco dancer shows a few nights per week. Gotta get a reservation; but, would be fun for your oldest.
