3) Big Cat Rescue : This amazing little attraction is tucked away on a dirt road near Lutz FL but we think it’s one of Tampa’s best attractions and things to do. This cat sanctuary was started back in 1992 and is home to about 100 exotic cats from around the world. The cats here were adopted because they were either abused by their owners, saved from being slaughtered for their coats, rescued as babies after hunters killed their mothers, seized from drug raids, or saved from being abandoned by their owners. Their isn’t a bigger sanctuary for exotic cats like this anywhere else in the world. It’s a real treat for families and kids!

4) Tampa Electric Manatee Viewing Center: The Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach is home to something very magical each ear and is a must see to Tampa Bay residents and tourists. In 1986 people started to see manatees in very large numbers show up but didn’t know why. It ended up being that the water attracted the manatees when Tampa Bay reached 68 degrees but the water around the plant stayed warmer and the manatees would seek a new refugee from the cold. Today this discharge channel is a state sanctuary for these amazing mammals and the manatee can be seen in their natural habitat.
