Went here as a kid and it was very nostalgic to go back but ohmygod the ticketing is so poorly run…read more Even if you get a ticket online, you need to wait in the absurdly long line to get a sticker. It was like 20 minutes and they only had one person at the booth. Waiting outside in heat with no shade is just wild, especially with the world's slowest ticket process ever and kids waiting as impatiently as I was in a line to an even longer wait. There is also a machine that kids love to press that I actually thought was construction. It was so loud we had to leave that whole area of the museum. Also the listed drone flying times were just a little late-- we waited for 11:45 and no one came out until 11:50. It was fine but I was worried it wasn't happening! All this aside, there is a lot to learn and look at, even for adults! They have exhibits about dinosaurs, the human body, moon geology, illusions, gravity, and more.

As with all the other Smithsonian museums, this one has a timed entry system that is complementary but you must do before you enter. Scan your QR code and off you go.

The owner, CJ is easy to work with and is open to fun ideas and creative ways to ensure the best outcome for your event. The rooms are spacious and can easily accommodate 25-50 per room. You are allowed to bring in outside food which is amazing and helps keep your cost down. If you're not interested in hosting an event you can check their event calendar and participate in their weekly events of candle making, crafting, painting classes and much more! More reasons why I love this space: plenty of parking, clean environment and easy to work with staff. Definitely consider them for hosting your next event!

I'm definitely bias since I've only gone to the Minnesota State Fair which is the #1state fair…read moreturnout in the country every year for the 12 days that it's open. Parking was $15 on-site & fair entrance was free for me with my FL medical professional license ID card since I went on a promo day for it. The best part of the Fl State Fair was the petting zoo of baby goats, donkeys, llama alpacas which was free to enter & pet at your own risk of poop & pee from the animals. Some of the alpacas were very agreeable to selfies lol so funny they knew the assignment well. 5 stars for the animals & zero stars everything else. All the food was terrible. I definitely wouldn't go back again. Even if the entrance fee or parking was free... not worth it. My friends that were born & raised in the Tampa Bay Area told me not to go that it's not worth it... should a listened to them lol. None of my Florida friends wanted to go that have lived in Tampa their whole life. I went for the experience. I didn't go on any rides, my germ radar was on too high alert lol.

GameTime has been in the Ybor area for a pretty long time, but I only recently set foot in the…read moreestablishment--and by total happenstance. We were trying to make it to the Gasparilla Children's Parade, but to our dismay, the Jolley Trolley was completely full by the time it passed through Ybor. So GameTime was an appealing Plan B. It has a TON of interactive arcade games, mini-bowling (which we did not do), and a restaurant/sports bar with plenty of TVs. Like other arcade places, GameTime is a popular venue for hosting kids' birthday parties; or you can just grab a game card, load it with $$ and receive credits with which you can play games. They offer timed play (e.g. $25 for 1 hour with 500 fixed e-tickets for prize redemption), or you can choose to purchase a reloadable card where you decide how much money you want to spend and you accrue tickets as you play/win. We loaded our card with $25 which yielded 100 credits. Optionally, you can load a custom amount and receive 4 credits for every dollar. With our four-year-old, we blew through the $25 pretty fast and ended up adding another $25 (giving us a total of 200 credits). If we had just loaded the card with $50 initially, we would have had 25 more credits (225). Overall, I would say value is pretty par for the course. The prize counter is where I felt they were lacking (compared to Main Event and other names in the industry). The games were fun and only a handful were not working or malfunctioned. That did not deter us as the place was pretty dead that afternoon.

You can choose meals that correspond with different game playing card deals. I ordered the fried tomato BLT that had a bit of a BBQ sauce of some sort on it, but it still went together well. Their fries are a cool texture and shape and came fried and salted to perfection. Our bartender was attentive and let us know happy hour began from 4-6 p.m. I was worried this place would be a loud raucous venue like some other game venues, but much to my delight, it was not. If you're in Ybor, this is a great spot to come with or without kids.

In comparison to some of my other haunts in the area; this one is great for sound comfortability as far is air-conditioned and has more lighting than most.

I recommend this haunt for 3 reasons it helps break the ice if you're a little uncertain about doing a haunted houses, or you scary easily it's a comfortable a/cdon't have to worry about getting dirty and then of course there's the really great charity purpose behind it which makes it probably the number one reason!

The road meanders through wildlife that has the run of the road. If an ostrich decided to stop on the road, we would have to stop and wait for him or her to move along. Most of the animals will look your way, curious as to who is passing by and are not bothered in the least. We end our trip with a stop at the giraffe feeding station where everyone on the safari has the opportunity to feed lettuce leaves to any interested giraffe (several times if you wish!). It is such a thrill to see their beautiful big eyes, adorned with such thick, long eyelashes. It is awe inspiring to be so close to the animals and to realize just how tall and muscular they are. When it is your turn to feed an animal, it is amazing to see just how long and purple and slimy their tongues are! I would highly recommend this excursion for people of any age!

Everything from chocolate bananas with chocolate strawberry cheesecake, it was a chocolate Lover's Dream exclamation point This was quite a dynamic event and by the end of the evening people were sold out of most of their best sellers. That shows a good showing for the Tampa Bay area and their support of rallies and events like this. Tampa continues to have events like this almost every week whether it be in Ybor City or another parts of Tampa Bay. What a better place to live where you have the freedom to go with indulgent chocolate one weekend in Italian the next then maybe grilled cheese the weekend after that. The event was well Serviced,had great products, fair prices & was fun! Yep I think I'll go again next year, I would only go earlier so people were sold out of some of their best-selling items. What's a girl to do? Who doesn't love chocolate, my God you have to go and experience events for yourself or you can't really tell them about it completely.
