Love love love zoo Tampa! I squeeze in a trip there on every Florida visit. On our last visit one of the keepers incredibly randomly let us into the sloth enclosure to meet them. Really made our trip.
It isn't a massive zoo but if you're not in a rush you can spend a good portion of the day there. We find it to be a really peaceful place, especially if you visit during the week when the crowds are lower. My favourite spot is the viewing windows in the manatee care centre, really great to see the rehab work they do with them.
It's a great trip out especially if you want a break from theme parks.
