With awe-inspiring sea creatures, incredible wildlife, thrilling rides and up-close encounters at every turn, there is something for the whole family at ZooTampa at Lowry Park and The Florida Aquarium! Buy your tickets together and save.
The Florida Aquarium enables you to get up close to many of Florida’s aquatic and terrestrial animals and ecosystems, as well as others from around the world.
The aquarium was really nice and very clean. Really enjoyed it. We also did the Penquin Encounter that was Great! There were 8 of us in there with the penquins - we learned all about them and their habits and got to touch 2 of them with lots of pictures
Excellent opportunity to view animals and comparator in family to protect species in dangers important to younger
Loved it. Not a lot of one type of animals but the enclosures were clean, the viewing area well marked and plentiful. It was busy but not to the point of being crowded. A little expensive to get into the park, but worth it. The kids seemed to be enjoying it immensely and the exhibits far enough apart as to not be bothered. If you are in the area...GO.
It was an amazing experience and a wonderful idea to do for our Sunday Funday right before heading back home after the holiday break! We were able to get through the park and also enjoy the rides and some attractions in 3hours. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable throughout the park! The kids want to come back !
It’s a great family outing. You learn about creatures who live near and in the water; birds, fish and mammals! You also learn about invasive species and how to take care of our waters! The lemurs were cute as well!
It was a fun experience but I recommend just getting tickets at the Zoo and Aquarium. The zoo has a good bit to see while the aquarium is on the small side. I also wouldn’t recommend trying to rush both into one day although you certainly could. The 3 stars is not for the attractions, but rather for this pass which doesn’t save much over just going to the venues.
Soooo amazing and love how you are closer to the animals ❤️ want to go back again and thats for sure
We definitely recommend you seeing the Tampa zoo. My daughter and I visited for the first time and had an amazing experience. Everybody was so friendly and helpful and the zoo itself is just gorgeous.
Great staff at the Tampa Aquarium and the Tampa Zoo. A little of a bummer that it rained on the day that we went to the zoo, but that is Florida's weather. Love all the fans that were at the zoo, and the Jelly touch tank was 1st class amazing at the aquarium. Had a blast overall, and the price was great.
Loved the easy layout of the different areas and noticed multiple restrooms/ food locations and the designated smoking areas for those to use if need/desired. Staff persons were easily recognizable and friendly/ helpful to those noted in need/answering questions
We had a great day. Both attractions were fun for the kids. They had a fun-filled day. we stared at the Zoo and ended the afternoon at the Aquarium
Both the zoo and the aquarium could not scan the pass that I brought. My ticket had no QR code on it for them to scan. It took me over 30 minutes to get in both locations which really took the time away from our enjoyment. Next time I will just buy separate passes on site. I wouldn’t recommend this pass to anyone
Was told to wait in long line to get tix, after already buying tix online, then had to wait in long line at guest services. The girl looked at my receipt and had no idea what to do. Had to wait for manager. Terrible experience.
We were very pleased with the aquarium however disappointed with the zoo. The zoo had a lot of remodeling of exhibits and such so not we didn't see very many animals. They also had several rides, seemed to be more geared towards kids. We have been to zoos which were worse as well as way better.
We thought the Tampa Zoo was great! Kids ages 5 and 8 loved it. The whole place was spotlessly clean and just about everyone had on masks even outside. You had to have one on inside any building 100%. All the animals were well maintained and the place was spotless. I think we Grandparents enjoyed it as much as our Granddaughters! We stayed about five hours and saw it all.
My experience was great we loved the tour of the animals the staff was very polite and helpful and the amenities for the kids was fun
Such a great facility, happy animals and staff. I went here as a child and it’s even better now than I had remembered
Entry process was fine and price was definitely worth it. We however were very disappointed with this room which I have been many times before and really loved. They were doing renovations everywhere and no one knew what was open so we we continually sent to places that were closed. Internal communications and signage were terrible.
The aquarium was great but not the zoo! Many attractions at the zoo were closed for refurbishment. Food venues and rides, and shows were closed. WE waited 45 minutes for a kids cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich. They should have indicated on their web site that not everything was operating. Certainly their map should have indicated things that were closed. Many unsupervised children with field trips. BAthrooms were a mess and very crowded possibly partially due to this.
A good zoo will appeal to both children and adults. Quiet and calm, you can spend all day here). Animals groomed
Great zoo! Lots of things for kids, great animal exhibits, friendly staff. Easy to navigate, clean and well maintained.
Great savings by buying tickets on line. The zoo has so much to offer. Unfortunately one area doesn't flow smoothly to the next. Not a lot of animals but enough to get a nice assortment. the aquarium was smaller and could be done in an hour or so
What a nice zoo for one so young. A very kid-centric zoo but we adults enjoyed it. The steep admission price was saved by it basically being an annual pass. It would be nice if a one-n-done inexpensive pass were available for out of town tourists. It was nice to see all the construction being done to keep the facility nice but as a result, not all exhibits were open. Some of the enclosures made animal viewing difficult do to the location of the animals. Feeding by the fence would be nice. The tram was a nice way to see the animals but don't sit backwards. The zoo has animals I had never seen before. The panther kittens were fun to see but yet again, Florida has no bears. The zoo bear was in his den, hidden from sight.
This was an all adult adventure. We really liked the Makow flyover and the many other interactive animal experiences. This is a nifty little zoo with a lot going on.
The visit to the Florida Aquarium was great, we were very impressed! The walk through the aquarium is extremely varied. There are friendly employees everywhere who are happy to give information. A great memory of our stay in Tampa and highly recommended for visitors of all ages!
The safari tour in Africa is not an attraction of note. Many species are alone, and in some cases are community animals. Animal interactions are expensive. High-cost entrance, for a tour of less than 4 hours. Food is expensive for what you get. To highlight the walk along the river, the wash is worth it. It would be better if they focused on few species but with better habitat.
Although several sites are under renovation, we enjoyed our day. The place is well equipped for families: small rides, places with shadows, benches... the children loved giraffes, baby rhino and baby orangutan, the rays that can touch it, puMa, manatees. They also enjoyed the dinosaurs! Very nice day!
