Tampa Florida is a parent's paradise because there are plenty of activities for both toddlers and adults. Warm temperatures throughout the year also open up more opportunities for parents to attend outdoor events or parks with small children. Bring a stroller along on outings, especially if you take a trip to a walking destination, such as the zoo.
