Our favorite things to do

Armature Works

1910 N Ola Ave, Tampa, FL 33602, USA
(813) 250-3725

This is an old street car barn turned multi-use space full of small pop-up restaurants and shops! It's a super fun place to grab a bite to eat or have a drink. Our favorite restaurants here are hemmingways cuban kitchen, BNB BBQ, Bake N Babes, and Muchachas. For parking at armature works there are two large lots that are pay to park for about $10, there is also free street parking on a first come first serve basis.

Sparkman Wharf

615 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602, USA
(813) 618-5844

This place has a great outdoor atmosphere and is right by the water! There is also a great bar and a great line up of rotating pop-up restaurants. Our recommendation for here is definitely Jenni's ice cream! To park for sparkman wharf we recommend parking in the Florida aquarium parking lot and taking a short walk over to sparkman (it's less than a 5min walk).

Hyde Park Village

1602 W Swann Ave, Tampa, FL 33606, USA
(813) 251-3500

This a really nice shopping and dining area closer to downtown tampa. The shops and restaurants here can be a bit pricey so if you're trying to stay to a budget I would recommend elsewhere. Parking here can also be tricky around peak meal times so we would recommend going during off hours!

Ybor city

Tampa, FL 33602, USA

Ybor city is a great cultural center in Tampa. There is a lot of history rooted in this part of town and tons of great food options as well! The original Colombia restaurant is located here and is one of our favorites. This part of town can get a bit crazy when the sun goes down so we recommend avoiding it during the evenings.

The Florida Aquarium

701 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602, USA
(813) 273-4000

A great indoor activity option!

Amalie Arena

401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602, USA
(813) 301-6500

We love to go to hockey games here when we can. If you're in town during a lightning home game we 100% recommend catching a game if you have the time! Go bolts!

Columbia Restaurant

2117 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605, USA
(813) 248-4961

Easily one of the most iconic restaurants in Tampa. The most amazing spanish food and drinks! A favorite of ours is the mojito! We definitely recommended reservations for here, especially if you want to catch the dinner-time flamenco show! P.s. the bread served with every meal comes from La Segunda bakery which is an excellent breakfast/brunch spot!
