The famous Florida Aquarium in Channelside and Downtown Tampa has opened up its doors to a brand new space that overlooks the bustling Port Tampa Bay and the city. With a maximum capacity of over 200 people, The Florida Aquarium’s brand new rooftop terrace is ready to hold any celebration imaginable in Tampa. From weddings to parties, the terrace offers a one-of-a-kind experience.
The rooftop terrace features a new solar-panel-covered pavilion, emphasizing the importance of solar energy use in Tampa and offers ample space for guests to move out of the sun if temperatures are high. If you would rather see the sunset, there are plenty of opportunities as the sun sets through the Downtown Tampa skyline. The terrace is wide enough for plenty of guests to watch the views from above.
The Florida Aquarium, which is renowned for throwing amazing parties and events, dazzles Tampa residents and tourists with yearly events like Brews By The Bay, SeaGrapes, and Flow With The Fishes, where yoga is offered for adults and children in front of the stunning coral reef exhibit. The Florida Aquarium goes all out for their events, so you can anticipate that yours will receive the same care and consideration.
On top of several different ballrooms and venue spaces throughout the aquarium, those interested can book the entire aquarium through the Exclusive Access option. Your guests will have an amazing time throughout the full guest experience at the aquarium, which includes the indoor wetlands trail beneath the iconic glass dome and the rooftop terrace’s views of Tampa Bay and the city skyline–and you can do it all while savoring a customized menu that is tailored to your preferences and price range. The maximum capacity ranges from 250-4,000 guests.
The Coral Reef Gallery venue space hosts 50-200 guests and is an immersive experience perfect for a cocktail reception for 200 or a seated dinner for 100. The awe-inspiring Coral Reef habitat provides a complete floor-to-ceiling underwater view featuring an array of colorful fish, sand tiger sharks, eels, stingrays, and more. Guests can also enjoy the aquarium’s Heart of the Sea habitat where a loggerhead sea turtle and bonnet head sharks swim amongst the vibrant coral trees.
