    Can't wait to go back!!

    Completely delighted and surprised how much fun we had at Zoo Tampa!! It's been quite a bit since I have been to any zoo, but I wish I would gone sooner!! I went with my daughter and three grandchildren, 2, 4 and 6. Kids absolutely had a blast!! Zoo is clean, well maintained, most of the animals were out and about. The park was decorated for Halloween - great job!! The kids really loved touching the sting rays and feeding them, $6.00 for about 3-4 pieces of fish/shrimp for feed. There is a wind machine, $4.00 that all three little ones got into, were screaming and laughing, so much fun for 4 bucks! Trolls under the bridge were adorable, Wizard of Oz characters were engaging, all the characters were patient with the kids, very polite! I could go on and on... We ate at Macaw's Landing. We ordered the family meal for $38.00, got 4 cheeseburger sliders, 10 nuggets, large fry and large mac n cheese, it was all pretty good, more than enough for the five of us. We can't wait to go back at Christmas! PS... if you are older, rent the scooter for roughly $50 - game changer!! I was able to take it everywhere. I can't praise the staff at Zoo Tampa enough, and I mean everyone from ticket takers, restaurant workers, ride operators, characters, store workers.... they were all very friendly.

    Tour of Tampa zoo

    Tampa zoo was great to visit. It's laid out well and easily to find your way around. The behind-the-scenes tram was fun too and they ensured that everyone wore their mask and that the dividers were up in between each seat for covid-19. Although they didn't require mask be worn in the outside areas in the park, they were required in indoor spaces. they offered free disposable mask at the front gate and you could always mask up if you felt like the crowd was a little too much for you. I am from Atlanta and I like our Zoo but I really enjoyed Zoo Tampa's aviary and behind-the-scenes tram. Some of the highlights were some birds the zoo Atlanta doesn't have, another type of tiger that Zoo Atlanta does have, wolves, painted dogs, and the fact that African elephants were actually black instead of a hint of red from our Georgia red clay!!

    Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tampa.

    How much does Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tampa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tampa is not rushed.

    Is Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tampa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tampa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tampa and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Creatures of the Night Halloween Event - ZooTampa at Lowry Park start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tampa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tampa?

    +

    Tampa covers Busch Gardens, Ybor City food and cigar history walks, manatee snorkelling at Crystal River, dolphin cruises on the bay and Clearwater beach days. Manatee tours are seasonal and heavily regulated, so operator conduct matters. On Outty we rank every Tampa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tampa Sightseeing Tour in a Deluxe Street Legal Golf Cart, Shared Ybor City Historic Walking Tour, Escape Game at Midtown Tampa. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tampa?

    +

    November to April, with manatee season from November to March. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tampa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
