New Adventures Just Beyond the Island

Turn your day away from the beach into an unforgettable adventure at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Experience high-speed roller coasters, live entertainment, family-friendly attractions, and immersive animal habitats featuring more than 200 species.

As both a leading theme park and one of North America’s largest zoos, Busch Gardens offers something for thrill seekers, wildlife lovers, and younger visitors, making it an exciting addition to any Anna Maria Island vacation.

Cool off with a fun-filled day at Adventure Island, Tampa’s largest water park. Spread across 30 acres, the park features exciting water slides, a relaxing lazy river, kid-friendly play areas, dining options, and attractions for different ages.

Located across from Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, it is an ideal destination for families looking to trade the calm Gulf shoreline for high-energy water adventures and refreshing outdoor fun.

Step into the imaginative world of Salvador Dalí at this celebrated waterfront museum in St. Petersburg. Explore an expertly curated collection of the artist’s work, along with rotating exhibitions, educational programs, and creative experiences.

The museum’s distinctive architecture and thought-provoking displays make it a rewarding day trip for art lovers, curious travelers, and anyone looking to add culture and inspiration to an Anna Maria Island getaway.
