Adventure Island

Adventure Island is a Key West style theme park. It has over 30 acres of water rides. One cool ride you may want to try is called Riptide. You and three other riders race each other lying on mats. Everyone goes down a height of 55 feet into your own enclosed tubes. The best part is twisting through a hairpin turn and then getting dumped into the four open-air lanes and that's when you plunge into the water. I know, it is a lot of fun. Adventure Island also has a wide selection of restaurants. If you like pizza and hot dogs head on over to Surfside Cafe. They also have one of my favorites which is homemade funnel cake. If your looking for ice cream, Gulf Scream Ice Cream has old fashioned sundaes, root beer floats, milk shakes and more. Adventure Island is located at 1001 Malcolm McKinley Drive, Tampa Florida 33601.
