Downtown
Such a great experience for kids and adults alike! The “pirates” on board were hysterical and really made it enjoyable. They also keep the kids entertained for the entire 1.5 hour ride which is nice!

Fun Places
A fantastic atmosphere to spend 2-3 hours. Walking on the pier is really awesome. You can sit and enjoy the views from side by parks. We saw couple of dolphins 🐬 here around evening time. Paid parking at the pier entrance but there is free if you park at Vinoy park.

Awesome park! You can take a long walk next to the water with a shoreline beach. There are restrooms along the way and plenty of places to sit on a bench, have a picnic, string up a hammock. The views are impeccable! You can grab a sailboat ferry to and from Tampa. Tennis courts and pool are nearby, too! This park is near restaurants and other shopping, too. Great park to visit!!!

Very beautiful park. Mostly boardwalk and very well kept. Saw alligators, multiple different turtles, birds, and the outlook was beautiful. They also had a tower overlook which was nice. The picnic tables near the boardwalks have a few games to play with friends which is nice, and a little information building w a/c, bathrooms, and water. Overall a very nice park.

Museum
Amazing museum, definitely need to see it while in St. Pete! The permanent collection of Dali's work is immaculate with some readily recognizable pieces, and others that you really have to look closely at to see all of the amazing detail placed into his work. The building itself is gorgeous
