    Lots of fun!

    Really fun zoo! My only complaint is that it seems like a lot of the fun things close at 3 but the zoo is open until 5 or 5:30. Slightly disappointing because had we known earlier in the day we would’ve planned an earlier arrival. As such I didn’t get to feed the birds in the lorikeet house which was disappointing! They also said when we went in that they weren’t doing feedings at that time but all the signs say feedings between 10-3. Other than that this is a fun place with lots of cool animals to see. I think price is very reasonable for everything you see and I am happy to spend money if it goes to the care of the magnificent animals.

    Heartbreaking view of the tiger

    The zoo was nice enough however the state of the tiger is heart breaking. It just continually paced back and forth and if a little research is done it's noted tigers do this due to lack of stimulation, restricted space, frustration of instincts or environment stress. The enclosure does not mimic a tiger's natural habitat at all. Please let this tiger live out his remaining life at a rescue if he is unable to go back to his natural habitat. I would rather see a zoo without stressed animals then to see this again.

    A must visit

    Great Zoo with beautiful landscaping. The animals were very lively especially the otters and giraffes

    Recommend this nicely designed zoo

    We went to visit on a hot day in June. We were able to bring in water bottles and there are bubblers (water fountains) conveniently located throughout the zoo. Though it was hot, the zoo has shade and air conditioned exhibits nicely spaced around the park as well as sprayed water for cooling. Nice area for kids to cool off (bring suits!) We got our hands stamped and left for lunch at nearby Mexican food at Don Poncho’s. Highly recommend! You do need to pay for parking but we received discounted entry because of a membership at a reciprocal zoo. Enjoyed seeing many animals I had not heard of before. We’re fortunate to see the koalas eating and climbing as well as a rhino getting fed. The animals seemed happy and were surprisingly active given the heat. Nice animal displays. There were a few rides but we didn’t go on any of them. We spent 4-5 hours here, walking slowly and reading about each animal and enjoying the air conditioning. Will definitely return!

    ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $52 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 ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket 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 ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 323 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 ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket?

    +

    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 ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket 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 ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket?

    +

    Around 113 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 ZooTampa at Lowry Park Admission Ticket 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.
