Tampa's Riverwalk makes the waterfront easier to explore on foot, connecting urban parks and public attractions along the Hillsborough River. Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park is a useful central meeting point.
The Florida Aquarium is an indoor, ticketed contrast to the free-to-walk outdoor promenade. A simple approach is to enjoy the riverfront first and add one paid attraction only if it fits your budget.
