Tampa’s Still Exciting During Republican National Convention

With the Republican National Convention just 6 days away, the City of Tampa is gearing up for thousands of visitors. Just a stones throw from the Solutions Office Suites, the stage for the RNC is set and ready for candidates to take the podium. The bridges are lit. Local artist Tracey Dear did so in association with Mayor Bob Buckhorn, Tampa Electric, Peoples Gas, The Lights On Tampa Committee and the City of Tampa. The video below from Nicole Abbett captures the beauty of this now permanent fixture via time-lapse.

But what if you want to leave the office and check out some of the other places of interest nearby? Here are some suggestions:
 
Florida Aquarium. With over 200,000 square feet of underwater fun, this is a family oriented destination that is hard to miss. Big sharks, sea turtles, birds, otters, even penguins – there’s plenty to see. Get there before August 26th as the aquarium will be closed for private events for the RNC.
 

 
Tampa Museum of Art. Just off Ashley Drive in downtown Tampa, the current exhibition showcases a century of American political cartoons drawn from The Mahan Collection of American Humor and Cartoon Art from the University of South Florida. The architecture of the museum, especially at night, makes this one of the Downtown Tampa highlights.
 

 
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. A short trip from the Solutions Office Suites down Interstate 275 will bring you to the edge of Africa. Up close encounters with animals from all over the world, roller coasters that are guaranteed to excite you, and water rides to cool you off from the Florida heat make this a must see place of interest.
 

 
Pass-A-Grille Beach. What trip to Florida is complete without hitting the beach? There are plenty of beaches that are easy to get to from Solutions Office Suites, but Historic Pass-A-Grille is a laid-back beach town that is perfect for relaxation after a long day at the Republican National Convention.
