Swimming lessons by age group are another offering. The parking lot is often too small for the number of cars here, and you will see quite a bit of parking on the street.

And that meant that my kids were supervised and entertained from 7:30am until 5:15pm. Yay! They do the "typical" summer camp stuff that you don't really get to do in urban Tampa - canoeing, archery, zip lining/ropes course. They also went swimming, played basketball and soccer, did arts and crafts. No screen time, which was a relief compared to so many camps that show movies during lunch or allowed kids to use personal devices during camp hours. My 8 and 10 year olds had great time. Breakfast and lunch are provided, although my kids complained about their low quality and brought their food after the first day. This is really a great resource for working parents as so many camps are only from 9 to 3.

For most weeks he is signed up for Waterfront Camp and we were not sure if it would be the best option for him. We have no regrets, he excitedly shares all the things he does each day and really wants us to purchase kayaks. He is in 2nd grade and will be 8 in a few weeks. He also attends their afterschool program, Kid Day Out when schools are closed, takes swimming lessons, horseback riding and participates in Run Club all at YMCA Camp Cristina. It is his Happy Place! They are very responsive and quick to respond when we have questions or concerns. I generally send an email and within a few hours I have receive a reply or phone call.

Teddy and the other coaches are knowledgable, encouraging, and supportive to every child. My son struggles with new experiences and has difficulty with stamina. He ended each day of camp in such a great mood, feeling so positive and excited about his day. I feel that my 7 year old was seen, encrouaged, and challenged appropriately during his time with TBDA. We plan to continue attending TBDA sessions through the school year. Thanks so much Teddy and coaches for being a light in this city. You are all a blessing! My son tells me he is the GOAT =)

We just moved out of the area, and I seriously considered postponing our move a few months just so we could have my daughter's party there.

The have the ultimate best customer service over any other YMCA in this area. Everyone is ridiculously nice and truly work as a team. I love that you see the same faces everyday with the patrons. It represents the kindness and loyalty. The employees just don't check you in like other facilities. They ask you about your week or your holiday and will listen. I value places such as this where you come for one thing and you gain others such as friendship. This facility also helped me with complications with my account and their gymnastic facility is amazing. They even offer classes to learn other specialties. My favorite is the coffee station.

Turkey Creek Stables in Plant City has false advertising on their website. It states that rides are…read more$20 for 1 hour, but when we arrived, we were told it was actually $45 per hour. On top of that, there was also a $5 fee that was never mentioned upfront. When we questioned the price difference, we were told that the website with the $20 pricing has supposedly been up for the past 3 years, and that they "use a different website" as well, which was very confusing and misleading for customers. I had a very disappointing and unsafe experience at Turkey Creek Stables and would not return. During my ride, my horse and another rider's horse began racing each other at a speed that felt completely out of control. Despite repeatedly trying to get my horse to stop, I had no control over the situation. The horses were going so fast that the rest of the group did not return from the guided ride until about 15 minutes after us. I ended up being thrown off my horse and fell directly onto my back. I got the wind knocked out of me and later went to urgent care, where I was told I had significant bruising, including a large contusion on my inner thigh. What was most concerning was the lack of response afterward. No one immediately ran over or properly checked to make sure I was okay. The only person who took the time to come over, check on me, and give me basic advice like icing and taking Tylenol was the hispanic man (the staff member). Aside from that, there was very little concern shown for my safety. I was also very uncomfortable with how the situation was handled afterward. A front desk comment about getting "certified cowgirl stamps" and mentioning my nails being intact felt extremely unprofessional and dismissive given what had just happened. Additionally, the guides appeared very young and not adequately prepared for handling emergencies. During a guided ride, I would expect at least one experienced guide in the front and one in the back to ensure safety and control, but that was not the case here. Overall, I'm highly disappointed with the lack of safety, supervision, and professionalism. I would not recommend this experience and would not go back.

The lady at the rental for skates could be more nicer and enthusiastic but it's whatever. This place sits close to Salem's and is on 60 and Kings Ave. Place is a great size for a skating rink and they have different races for different ages there to make it stay fun and active. If you want a trainer, it is $5 extra and you have to trade your shoes in for the skates which makes sense cause you're not going to leave without your shoes! They also have a bounce house and have staff to supervise. There's an arcade too for those who aren't into any of those things and a place to redeem for prizes. I can't speak too much for the food but the kids seemed to eat it well. Overall, a great experience and I would defintely recommend and return for everyone of all ages!

This location was closer to us so we went in and there is a Yelp coupon for 20% off one batting cage round but I decided to save that for another time since we were going to rent a cage for an hour. This store is on the other side of Dollar Tree. The employees there were really nice and helpful. The rental included helmets and bats so that was nice. You have to miss a couple of shots before you get the hang of things but once you get to swinging, it will be hard to stop. The hour went by fast and it was split between three people. There is no max for the cage rentals so if you wanted to share it with 10 people, you could. There is also a gym and private training lessons there for anyone interested. I highly recommend and I plan to go back!

I would never entrust this place with the care of my child…read more Over the course of two consecutive days, my 6-year-old son was hit in the face with a dodgeball during camp. I completely understand that accidents happen and that kids get hurt while playing sports. We have had our children involved in sports since they were 3 years old, and we fully expect bumps and bruises. What is unacceptable is how the situation was handled. At no point did anyone call us, and the coach never mentioned that our son had been hit in the face. My son did tell the staff that he got hurt, yet no one offered him basic care or informed us about the incident when I picked him up. I only learned what happened because my son told me himself. Instead, they left it up to a 6-year-old to communicate what he needed. He's the youngest child there and, like many young children, he wanted to be tough in front of the older kids. Expecting a 1st-grader to recognize, communicate, and advocate for his own medical needs is simply not appropriate. For more than $250 a week for only a few hours of daily care, I expected the staff to take some initiative. Something as simple as offering ice or notifying a parent should be standard practice. What was even more disappointing was the owner's response. Rather than expressing concern or apologizing, I was told that because my son "didn't ask for anything," they didn't offer him anything. There was no acknowledgment that the situation could have been handled better, no commitment to improve their procedures, and ZERO empathy. Instead, the owner seemed offended that I raised the concern and told me my reaction was unfair. This review is not about a child getting hurt. It's about the complete lack of responsibility, care, and accountability shown afterward. When parents leave their children in your care, they trust you to look after them--not to rely on a 6-year-old to decide when he needs help. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this academy to any parent looking for a place that prioritizes the safety and well-being of young children.
