    Beautiful beach and very friendly people. Driving into the park is absolutely beautiful with large live oaks and palms. $5 parking fee is a deal. Amazed with the fact the sand does not burn your feet like some beaches on the east coast. Smoking and alcohol not allowed which is fine with me, although a cold brew would be nice, but one can survive. Gets crowded early. Highly recommend.

    Visited during Orthodox Holy Week. Impressive church and the parishioners were so nice and welcoming, offering in-depth explanations of their religious traditions.

    I need to post something positive to balance the one-star restaurant review I just did :) This family-owned and operated park is definitely focused on the kids, but I enjoyed a short visit and watching the effort they put into helping the kids have a great time and learn about the sealife and animals. Because it was a Monday afternoon it was lighter traffic than "usual", but nice to talk to the workers about individual animals (especially the reptiles) - it was clear they were familiar with the personalities of their charges, not just "doing a job". I also really appreciated the rescue efforts in their work, especially for reptiles with a LONG potential lifespan (they estimated one of their snapping turtles was probably over 100 years old). Not quite as fun for adults as the kids, but a great experience overall.

    This is my second visit having visited back in 2019.

    Had the games I was looking for plus loads of other.

    Atari Tempest, Atari Star Wars, OutRun, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Galaga, Galaxian, Pacman, Mrs Pacman and a good selection of pinball machines.

    Pity it didn't have an Atari Pole Position 😢

    The staff were very welcoming.

    The entry price is very reasonable and more affordable than arcade monsters!!!

    Brooker Creek Preseve is very nice. There is a nice Boardwalk that leads to the Visitor area/ bathroom area. The trails are very green and lush. The paths are well labeled and easy to walk. It is also free! I didn’t go into the Visitor Center, but a read a review that said they accept donations. I would have given 5 stars but I was disappointed that we didn’t see many birds. The reason why is because there is a shooting club nearby and we constantly heard the pop, pop, pop of gunfire. We are certain that is what scared the birds away. We will return, hopefully earlier before shooting club opens.

    The captain and crew were very informative about the area and knowledgeable about the dolphins. The island was pretty good for shelling for the girls

    Visited Tarpon Springs for the day and really enjoyed Craig Park. Beautiful bayou setting, huge Live Oak surrounded by historical houses. We quite enjoyed the Heritage Museum here as well. Just a beautiful place and so different from the touristy dock area.

    I have been there a few times, but it is very pleasant to relax there and walk along the edge of the lake.

    This museum is part of St. Petersburg College. There is free parking right by the museum - which is marked well so you can find it on the campus. They had various exhibits on display when we were there. I especially liked the high school at that was depicting familiar sayings. The museum is mostly contemporary art.

    Whitcomb Bayou is a lovely park to enjoy fresh air and take a walk. It is close to downtown, perfect for a stroll after a big meal.
