9. Places to visit
Children visiting Tampa will clamor for the animals and the heavy-hitting
roller coasters of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. For a low-key and
environmentalist alternative to the big park, consider touring Tampa's Big Cat
Rescue, where you can see 150 different big cat species that roam free
through the 45-acre sanctuary. MOSI, the Museum of SCIENCE and Industry,
is a good bet for inquisitive minds, young and old; see IMAX shows, butterfly
gardens and hundreds of interactive exhibits. To experience the natural side
of things, go kayaking, walking or biking around Fort De Soto County Park
