Florida Villas – The X Files

If you’re renting out one of the Florida Villas available in the Tampa Bay area get ready for some weird science.

Renting Florida villas in Tampa

The truth is out there….somewhere, but if you’re renting one of the Florida villas in the Tampa Bay area, you’ll be forgiven for getting a bit lost. That’s because some pretty strange stuff goes on in Tampa. Forget the X-Files or the Rockford Files, Tampa is where the really weird science goes on. So if you have a few budding professors and scientists in your family, choose your Florida villa in Tampa.

Cows doing breaststroke?

Did you know that you can find cows that swim in Tampa? Okay, so not literally fields of cows doing the breaststroke – ‘sea cows’ are otherwise known as manatees.
You can catch the sea cows in action at the Tampa Electric Manatee Viewing Centre or visit Lowry Park Zoo where you’ll find a gigantic aquarium to gaze at the docile mammals, once mistaken by sailors in the olden days to be mermaids.

Bengal Tigers

The other major highlight in Tampa is the well known Busch Gardens. Many tourists who stay in Florida villas come for the famous theme parks and Busch Gardens is known for its screaming roller coasters. But it too features weird and wonderful nature, including scientific rarities such as three white tigers – the Bengal Tigers.

The Lost World

If you thought that dinosaurs no longer roamed the earth, you haven’t been to Dinosaur World. It is one of the major family outings for tourists renting Florida villas in the Tampa area. The cypress forest is filled with 150 life-sized dinosaur sculptures. In this land before time, kids can do a fossil dig and check out the educational exhibits before roaring through the pre-historic playground.

Tampa attractions

Other major attractions if you’re staying in one of the Florida villas available in the Tampa region include:

• Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be in the eye of the storm? Visit the indoor hurricane exhibit at MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry). You can sit through this particular Florida phenomenon in the safety of the museum and experience winds of up to 75mph.
• For more adventure, check out the rapids and take a tour at the reconstructed Seminole War Fort Foster – hire canoes and try out the nature trails.
• Visit Kid City – it’s a Lilliputian village with pint-sized shops, galleries and a tiny school bus – to fascinate kids of all ages.

If you want to be fascinated, stay in one of the Florida villas available in the Tampa Bay area.
