One thing that makes this Florida park special is the wide range of exotic animal attractions throughout the park. Whether you want to see fast cheetahs in action, explore giraffes, zebras and rhinos in the Africa-themed area or feed kangaroos and wallabies in the Australian section, there are plenty of animals to check out. While seeing lions and tigers up close is certainly exciting, nothing can quite match the thrill of the roller coasters at this Tampa staple, which are some of the best you’ll find anywhere in Florida. Featuring a 200-foot 90-degree drop and a splash-down landing, one of the park's coasters is sure to get your heart pounding. Make sure not to miss the spiraling loops, twists and turns and old-time fun of others. It’s no secret that the weather in Florida heats up in the summer months. That’s why a visit to Adventure Island, the sister water park, is just what you need to beat the heat. There's water fun for every age waiting to be discovered here!
