10 Fun Things to Do in Tampa, Florida
"Manatees are amazing and this is a great free attraction in the colder months that all the family can enjoy. Observation of this endangered species of marine mammals is experienced from the purpose-built boardwalks and observation decks. When the bay waters get colder, the manatees congregate in large numbers near the TECO power plant to take advantage of the clean, warm water in the station's discharge canal."

25 Fun Things to Do in Tampa with Kids of All Ages
"Tampa Electric Manatee Viewing Center was born from the discharge canal of the city’s power station. Because this clean Tampa Bay water was used to cool a power unit, it warmed before it released back into the bay via the canal. Manatees naturally began converging in the warm water during cold weather."

"Inspired by the speakeasies that once populated Ybor City in the 1920s, this cafe began as a literal fashion plate: The home for locally made selvage jeans and hand-screen T-shirts. You'll still find fashion to spare, but you can also grab a cafe con leche and pick up a partner for chess while you eavesdrop on the latest tech project underway at the neighboring co-work space."
