During your Tampa vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Tampa Museum of Art
Located on the east bank of the Hillsborough River, next to the round NationsBank building (locals facetiously call it the "Beer Can"), this fine-arts complex offers eight galleries with changing exhibits ranging from classical antiquities to contemporary Floridian art. There's also a 7-acre riverfront park and sculpture garden. Call or check the website for the schedule of temporary exhibits. However, if you have time for only one art museum on your trip, skip this one and head to St. Petersburg for the more innovative Salvador Dalí Museum.

Adventure Island
If the summer heat gets to you before one of Tampa's famous thunderstorms brings late-afternoon relief, you can take a waterlogged break at this 25-acre outdoor water theme park near Busch Gardens Tampa Bay . You can also frolic here during the cooler days of spring and fall, when the water is heated. The Key West Rapids, Tampa Typhoon, Gulf Scream, and other exciting water rides will drench the teens, while other, calmer rides are geared toward younger kids. Wahoo Run plunges up to five riders more than 15 feet per second as the half-enclosed tunnel corkscrews more than 600 feet to a waiting splash pool. There are also places to picnic and sunbathe, an arcade, a volleyball complex, and an outdoor cafe. Although some people tend to go barefoot here, I suggest you wear shoes at all times -- it gets kind of nasty after a while.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Tampa area, including:

Saddlebrook Resort-Tampa
Set on 480 rolling acres of priceless countryside, Saddlebrook is a landlocked condominium development off the beaten path (30 min. north of Tampa International Airport). But if you're interested in spas, tennis, or golf, we recommend this resort, which offers complete spa treatments, the Hopman Tennis Program (Jennifer Capriati pitches a tent here), and the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy. Guests are housed in hotel rooms (all renovated in 2004) or one-, two-, or three-bedroom suites. Much more appealing than the rooms, the suites come with a kitchen and either patio or balcony overlooking lagoons, cypress and palm trees, and the resort's two 18-hole championship golf courses. There are also shops, restaurants, a stunning pool, and an excellent kids' club with supervised and theme-oriented activities.Facilities: 3 restaurants; 2 bars; heated outdoor pool; 2 golf courses; 45 grass, clay, and hard tennis courts; health club; spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; bike rental; children's activities program; concierge; activities desk; car rental desk; business center; limited room service; massage; laundry service; coin-op washers and dryers.

Wyndham Harbor Island
Close enough to downtown but still worlds away on its own 177-acre island, this tropical-flair Wyndham insists that you're here on vacation and not stuck in some insipid downtown convention hotel. Rooms overlook the harbor and are hyper-comfortable with pillowtop mattresses and large bathrooms with Golden Door products. Luna di Mare is the hotel's exquisite Italian restaurant, overlooking the water and offering an extensive wine list, seafood, and chops. Guest privileges at the Harbour Island Athletic Club include full workout facilities, tennis courts, racquetball courts, and full-service spa. Stroll the boardwalk to fully appreciate your surroundings.

Baymont Inn & Suites
Fake banana trees and a parrot cage welcome guests to the terra-cotta-floored lobby of this comfortable and convenient member of the small chain of cost-conscious but amenity-rich motels. All rooms are spacious and have ceiling fans and desks. Rooms with king-size beds also have recliners; business rooms sport dataport phones; and suites have refrigerators and microwaves. Outside, a courtyard with an unheated pool has plenty of space for sunning. There's no restaurant on the premises, but many are within walking distance.
