Penguin Promenade

 We have removed the touch tank in the lobby and will be replacing it with a larger, more guest-friendly touch tank after the first of the year. While we work on replacing the tank, our Penguin Promenade will be appearing at that location. The sibling dynamic duo, Sunny and Sandy, can be seen daily at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the lobby.  

There will be plenty of photo opportunities and a chance for guests to meet them face-to-face! Please be patient, if you can't see over the crowd, wait for a few minutes and soon you will have access to a closer vantage point.

  

An Art Affair

This auction promises to be a wonderful array of fine art, sports memorabilia and celebrity collectibles. The auction is located at Artist Unlimited 223 N 12th St in Tampa.
