We recently became ZooTampa members and are excited about all the recent additions. Besides one of the most popular attractions, the Safari Africa exhibit features animals such as giraffes, zebras, and rhinos, and there's a re-imagined play area in Australia with rides, a splash pad, and more!

What's New at ZooTampa (2024!)

Expanded Splash Pad: If you've been to the zoo before, you might remember the splash pad. Now, it has new water elements, which makes the zoo even more fun! With the Florida heat, it's hard to stay all day. This area has family-friendly rides, animal experiences, and water attractions, so you can easily enjoy the zoo for longer now since you can cool off.

Family-Friendly Rides: The Australia area also reopened the Tasmanian Tiger Coaster and Flying Bananas, but the new highlight is Aussie Trek! This cute ride takes you on a safari and teaches you about Australia's wildlife.

Food and Drinks: You can enjoy the day with snacks and cocktails at the Boomerang Bar! We cooled off with an adult frozen lemonade, which was the perfect way to close our day at the zoo.

Prehistoric Predators: This exhibit ends April 28, 2024, so don't miss out on this! This dinosaur attraction features 15 animatronic animals with display signs, movement, sounds and even interactive water sprays as you walk through.
