Only a short drive from Winter Haven - Davenport

By Amanda Swank, publisher of Macaroni KID Winter Haven - Davenport, FL October 29, 2023


Experience wildlife at ZooTampa. The zoo was voted one of USA Today’s 10 Best Zoos in the country. It is also an 11-time winner of TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award. ZooTampa offers one-of-a-kind experiences that connect people to wildlife and each other in fun and immersive ways.


Visit the Main Free-Flight Aviary and Manatee Fountains just inside the entry doors. Or visit one of the many areas of the zoo. Those include:


Asia: Get up close and personal to many rare and endangered animals in the Asian Gardens.

Florida Wildlife: This is an immersive area that features Florida panthers, black bears, manatees, and more.

Primate World: You’ll learn more about the primates at ZooTampa, many of which are endangered in the wild. 

Africa: See some of the world’s largest animals, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and more.

The zoo also works hard at conservation, not only in Florida but globally. 


Memberships are available at their website: zootampa.org. Members enjoy free entry to special seasonal events and get to bring their choice of guests.


Seasonal events include Halloween and Christmas fun! 


TampaZoo truly offers something for everyone of every age. My family and I will be attending this coming holiday season and will be sharing our visit complete with a review and pictures. We can’t wait! If you haven’t visited ZooTampa yet, now is the time!
