Lowry Park Zoo’s Underground Tunnel

📍 Tampa, Florida

You step into the dimly lit tunnel, your heart racing in anticipation. Suddenly, a massive manatee glides over your head, whisking past with an unexpected grace that takes your breath away—this secret connection to the ocean feels like a well-kept treasure.

Yes, a zoo feature! This lesser-known tunnel lets you walk through an underwater viewpoint and see the manatees and other creatures swimming above you. It's an unexpected merge of education and fun that's usually overlooked by tourists.

Explorer Tip

Visit during feeding time for the best views of the manatees.
