Tampa is one of the biggest tourist drawers of the Sunshine State, and with good reason: besides featuring family-friendly attractions such as Busch Gardens, Lowry Park Zoo, Adventure Island, and Florida Aquarium, it also has something to offer to adults, such as the drinks of Tampa Bay Brewing Company and Hillsborough River State Park. What’s more, it also features cultural sites such as Tampa Museum of Art, Tampa Bay History Center, Ybor City, and Henry B. Plant Museum. Due to its popularity, a holiday here in the city can put a serious dent in your wallet. One way that you can cut back on your expenses would be to prepare your own food instead of dining out.
