When it comes to water parks in Tampa, Adventure Island, the aquatic corporate cousin of Busch Gardens, reigns supreme with 30 gorgeously landscaped acres of waterlogged fun. As thrill seekers, brave hairpin turns and stomach-churning drops on 10 high-speed rides, little adventurers delight in the miniature wave pool and serenity seekers nab a cabana or drift lazily amidst trickling waterfalls on the Rambling Bayou. There are also plenty of dining options located throughout the park including snack bars, cafes and, of course, an ice cream shop. If you prefer, you can also bring your own coolers. Even though Tampa stays pretty warm year round, this is still a seasonal attraction open from May to September.
