Tampa's first zoo can trace its history back to the 1930s. In 1957, this collection of animals and birds was moved to its current location. Recognized as the "Number One Family-Friendly Zoo in the U.S." by Child magazine, Lowry Park Zoo features 2,000 animals on 56 acres of lush, natural habitats comprising seven main exhibit areas: Asian Gardens, Primate World, Free-Flight Aviaries, Florida Boardwalk, Florida Manatee and Aquatic Center, Wallaroo Station children's zoo, and Safari Africa. Gift shops, refreshment stands and cafes are located throughout the park. Admission: Adults $18.95, Seniors (50+) $17.95, Children (3-11) $14.50.

Love this zoo
It is so family friendly there are a lot of interactive things that your family can do with the animals... and the animals all look well cared for.
Lowry Park sucks
This Zoo is a shame. They do not have enough animals to see. Example Polar Bear, Penguins, and so on. It is not worth the money.

A Great Zoo for family outing
It's not the biggest, but certainly a lovely place to spend the day. For it's size it's well designed and the animals aren't caged. Don't miss it. 5 stars for this local zoo.
