Things To Do
Hyde Park Village
Hyde Park Village is a modern oasis for discerning shoppers, travelers and Tampa residents looking for the very best. Here, you’ll find six city blocks of beloved local shops, restaurants and indie brands, as well as the top names in fashion and fitness known around the world. Exciting events like the Fresh Market and free fitness classes bolster the sense of community and neighborhood feel in the Village, while bold art and picturesque fountains create a backdrop for whatever the day brings, from morning errands and a cold brew to post-work cocktails.
The Florida Aquarium
The Florida Aquarium is an educational and fun-filled wonderland, home to thousands of animals and plants. Kids will especially enjoy the stingray petting area or the SeaTREK, where they’ll have to wear a wetsuit to walk among the underwater inhabitants and explore coral caves. Admission tickets: starting from $33.34
Armature Works
Shop and eat local at Armature Works is a historic mixed-use hub ripe for exploration — full of unique experiences, innovative eateries, memorable events and everything in-between. With its unobstructed view of the Hillsborough River, the historic structure has been restored and reimagined into what is now a premier Tampa destination. Inspire or be inspired – create a handcrafted bouquet with Tonella’s Flower Truck or peruse A.W. Mercantile for quality handmade items from local makers and artisans.
Oxford Exchange
Want to get a sneak peak at the wedding venue? Enjoy brunch, coffee, or a sweet treat from Oxford Exchange! Showcasing continued attention to detail, the menu consists of fresh, seasonal, signature dishes, complemented by an array of premium coffees, teas, and cocktails for a new translation of the classic bistro.
Splitsville Tiki & Social
Escape the ordinary at Splitsville Tiki + Social where you will find all the luxury bowling lanes and interactive gaming you love now with a vibrant tiki twist. The newly added Bamboo Bar imparts a distinct culinary flair to Splitsville’s existing classics. Pan-Asian influences abound with a focus on fresh-rolled sushi, wok fried rice alongside gourmet pizzas and mouthwatering burgers. The beverage menu is an ode to Tiki with classic cocktails that are punched up with a bit of modern mixology.

(As long as they’re as good at cracking clues as you are, of course.)
