As we start to check off things from our Summer Bucket List, my kids keep adding things to their list! While I know we can’t possibly do everything they bring up, that doesn’t mean that you won’t. If you like in the Tampa Bay area or if you’re traveling here this summer, there are a lot of fun things to do with kids of all ages.
You can review our Summer Bucket List and see that we already have listed:
- Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks
- Busch Gardens
- Old McMickey’s Farm
- Florida Aquarium
- Clearwater Marine Aquarium
- Weeki Wachee Springs
- Park play dates
My kids have added to their wishlist Airheads Trampoline Arena and Passport to Imagination at Michael’s craft stores. We also have our annual trip to Ichetucknee Springs in July.
I was sharing my ideas with a group of local bloggers and found out they have some pretty amazing ideas also. Below is a round-up of fun things to do in Tampa with kids this summer.
