I love living in the Tampa area because I have access to so many different means of entertainment. And over the years, Tampa has built up so much and the Bay area is filled with lots of restaurants, bars, museums, and so much more. Not to mention the Riverwalk that is a huge tourist attraction, there is so much to do and see in the area. You can walk, kayak, ride a bike or scooter or hop on a ferry or a boat to enjoy the scenic views. Or grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants that overlook the Bay. My favorite place to hang out is the Sparkan Wharf, which is located next to the cruise terminal and it’s a bunch of venues housed inside shipping containers, many of which have climate control. Not only does it have a lot of outside spaces, but it is also dog friendly. And I can spend an entire day there enjoying all that it has to offer. On a nice Summer day, the outdoor areas have live music or entertainment that is fun for the entire family. And on those days when the heat and the humidity are too much to bear, there are lots of air conditioned venues to take advantage of. And of course, during the Winter months, when the weather does get a bit cooler, these places also have central heating and the ones with patios provide space heaters as well. So, Sparkan Wharf is a great place to hang out throughout the year because the venues have both heating and air conditioning for our comfort. It’s great to have these climate controlled venues in Tampa because we can enjoy the city all year long.
