Tampa Bay, an area that encompasses three counties, is "home" to over 2 million residents. It’s a vibrant waterfront area on Florida’s beautiful West Coast and offers a unique blend of urban excitement in a natural surrounding. It's a region that attracts millions of tourists each year, who appreciate its mild winter climates, tropical summers, spectacular sunsets and beautiful beaches. It’s where Tampa Bay Buccaneers' fans cheered their winning team on to Super Bowl glory in 2002 and their favorite hockey team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, on to the 2004 Stanley Cup victory.

More than 5 million people experience Busch Gardens annually, and the Lowry Park Zoo is ranked as the #1 Family Friendly Zoo in the country. It has the largest performing arts center in the southeast and the largest science museum in the south. And the cultural arts district in downtown Tampa Bay is expanding every day, with the recent addition of the Patel Conservatory which helps both young and mature actors, artists, musicians and performers perfect their craft.
Like most Americans, the residents of Tampa Bay are proud of the men and women who serve in the military. And we're honored that MacDill Air Force Base is located here in Tampa Bay. It's the headquarters for two major commands; special U.S. Operations Command and U.S. Central Command. And it's also where Coalition Village is located, comprised of representatives from 65 nations who are working together to combat terrorism.
We invite you to explore all the treasures of Tampa Bay. If you love fun, you'll love Tampa Bay!
