TAMPA, FLORIDA

Tampa, Florida, is a city with lots to see and do. As photographers we visit Tampa several times a year to work. The zoo has an extensive collection of wild animals. There are several interesting museums including The Tampa Museum of Art, seen in our picture, and the Museum of Science and Industry.


Busch gardens have wild animals and wilder amusement rides. The beaches at St. Petersburg are nearby and very popular. Gasparilla is an entertaining Pirate festival every year and an exhausting marathon race, too. Plus professional hockey, baseball, and football teams for sports fans.

Lowry Park Zoo entrance, Tampa, on our last visit. 

We have worked at the zoo for our children's book photo buyers who needed animal pictures. Lowry Park Zoo has several active animal breeding programs that result in baby animals to exhibit at the zoo. It is a well laid out facility and the animals have clean, enriched areas in which to live.

Gasparilla festivals and parades happen on Tampa's waterfront and neighborhoods. It is like Mardi Gras in New Orleans. People dress up like pirates and throw bead necklaces to the crowds. We went once and it really was fun, like an adult Halloween.
