This event has displayed many plants sales, food truck and music pavilion. It is pleasant to visit for such a wonderful day in early April. I have an order of ClerodendrumBlue Butterfly plants to pickup. The sales of the plant from southern Florida and they are reasonably priced. I got 4 of them. The flower shape like butterfly. Very beautiful. The sales include fruit tree and flower bushes. A lot of varieties. Parking for this event is available for free. Need a bit walk.

The night we came was $8 all you can play wristbands so obviously that's already a win. The variety of drinks is incredibly impressive! I love a good cider and there are SO MANY to choose from. There's also a wide variety of breweries represented including a lot of local ones which is one of my favorite things. I got to play skee-ball which is basically my favorite thing and then we chatted for a while before I took over a pinball table or two. It was busy but it didn't feel crowded and the bar tender was really fast but friendly which was a nice surprise. Will absolutely go back and the best part is that I think I could see going by myself if I want a nice drink and some games now that I've gotten a feel for the place.

We had tickets for the after hours iMax show, Dark Side of the Moon. The event was well organized…read more We checked in on the first floor and got our VIP wrist bands for preferred entry. Then we walked up to the third (second?) level for the theatre. We got in the left queue, which was for preferred. The show started at 6, and we were allowed in at 5:45. We chose seats in front of a large box which might have been part of the projection system. For future shows, behind it a row or two would be better. We found ourselves putting our head back and craning our neck left and right frequently during the show. The seats were comfortable. The sound and picture quality were the best! For about 47 minutes we were completely immersed in the music of Pink Floyd and brilliant images of the world or subject matter of the songs on the album. Exiting the theatre was as easy as entering it. We walked down the stairs and walked outside to get to our car, parked nearby. Cars were coming in for the next show, so they took our space as we pulled out and left. We saw this show 2 years ago at a venue in St. Petersburg. We paid for parking. Parking was free at MOSI. We sat in lawn chairs that were not comfortable, and our necks hurt after the show. The sound was not as full and crisp as MOSI, and the hole in the center of the dome above us was distracting and took away from the immersive experience. The MOSI Experience was almost double the cost, but everything about it was superior to the Pinellas County immersive event.

A ton of hands on games and projects. We will be coming back. The science shows w was fun too. Warning for nursing moms who don't like to nurse in public , online it said they have a private space to breastfeed. When they brought me to it, it was a party room. One female employee walked in which is not a big deal but then another employee was giving a tour to several adult men which was very uncomfortable. I would ensure you have a cover. I understand not every place can accommodate, but they could have a sign or simply not offer it.

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!

They offer a fast pass for rides but, if you get there early enough, you wouldn't need one. Even though I only went on a few rides, I still got a bracelet that allows you on all the rides multiple times. I would suggest to ride the big ferris wheel during the sunset, it is DOPE!!! The line was not long and you get to go around (2) times. The vibe was really chill, not fast-paced or crowed, but after 6:00pm it starts to get more congested with people and lines for things are longer. You will spend money while you are here, it's the fair, there is no way around that business model. Keep-in-mind the only vendors that do NOT accept cash are alcohol vendors. The food was DELICIOUS!! Let my videos and pictures speak for themselves! I did not leave the fair on an empty stomach and walking all day around balances a food frenzy! All-in-all I would definitely come back here. There's exhibits, petting zoo, just so much things to do eat, and there's so many things going on around you. This will be my yearly visit moving forward! #FirstTimer!

GameTime is basically Dave & Buster's cousin that got a little extra. Full bar? Check. Pool…read moretables? Check. Enough games to keep the kids entertained while the adults pretend they're "just supervising" while playing too? Also check. My only complaint: whoever designed the bathrooms clearly believed hydration should come with cardio. The bathrooms are somehow in the furthest possible location from the bar... and upstairs. By the time I got back, I felt like I'd completed a side quest. Overall, great place for groups, families, or anyone looking to combine arcade games with questionable decisions at the bar. Would definitely go back... after mentally preparing for the bathroom hike.

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.

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.

For me it is always a good time to be out walking around Busch Gardens. The Bier Fest is nowhere…read morenear as large as the food and wine festival. As the name suggests, there is plenty of beer options from local breweries, Germany and good old standbys. You can also find water, coke products and sometimes wine or hard seltzers. Most of the food this year was served with rice or noodles and many items fried. The meat balls were the best thing being served in my opinion, so I had them several times during my visits. Because the fest isn't large, the kiosks are only located between Excursions gift shop and the Australia exhibits. Most of the time you are in the full sun, with the exception of Springs Taproom where you can usually find relief in some shady areas and inside where they have air-conditioning.
