Looking for some fun activities to do with your kids for their winter break? Check out these fun things to do with your kiddos. These activities are in Tampa. There are many things to do there. I find myself there often. Here is a list of 5 incredibly awesome places to try!:
1. Nearby Beaches - First we should start with the most obvious reason people come to Florida, our beaches. Fort DeSoto Park is a great one located in Tierra Verde on a barrier island. It is a 1136 acre park with a beautiful beach, campsites, two fishing piers and a historic fort. If you've never been, I recommend it, the fort is a site to see!
Clearwater beach is another tourist favorite. This was chosen as one of the best US beaches! It has sugar fine sand, a pier, and plenty of rentals for beach chairs and jet skis. Be forewarned though, this one is always crowded.
Another beach I should mention is Caladesi Island State Park located in Dunedin. You take a ferry to this one and they have a beautiful beach, a lookout tower, and a dock, and a three mile nature trail. Many come here to collect shells.
