[Music]
this morning we're at the tampa river
walk i just wanted to show what you can
walk or what you can see along the
riverwalk in tampa because a lot of
times when i look up information on what
to do on this walk it's kind of vague
and it's really kind of hard to see what
you can really do yeah and i always hear
about it and i've been to sections of it
but i've never actually completed the
entire river walk so i'm kind of like
curious how long is it um well
the walk that we're about to do is about
a little over a mile
we're starting at the curtis hixson park
area
and then we're going to end up at
armature works
which is a popular
food hall here in tampa that is awesome
to go to
so yeah so along the way we'll just show
you what you can do here
um you can just walk it too but there
are a lot of stops along the way too
like the museum um is it a loop
no it goes straight oh then you can go
backwards one way a mile or is it half
or one way a mile oh so we'll be back in
two miles yeah
[Music]
so first off uh we're actually at kylie
garden right now which is right before
the curtis hickson park
and when you go up these stairs so
that's curtis hickson park right there
that's the glacier children's museum
that's the tampa museum right there and
then there's this nice grassy area
for you to just land around in a lot of
people take photographs here they do
like portraits
um and right over there
that is the sykes building it's kind of
iconic for downtown tampa uh it's like
the circular skyscraper so right next to
that is the florida museum of
photographic arts there's also a
restaurant and outside bar it's called
remedy so you can enjoy some drinks
there there's an irish pub right here
too
yep there's an irish pub at the curtis
hickson uh park oh and if you want to
walk your dog here too they've got a
doggy station with face bags for you
and then right across the street
that is the university of tampa
river yeah or across the river yeah
because right below us is the
hillsborough river which we'll show you
in a sec you guys ready to get started
what are those little cans
i think it's white oh wow
so that is the remedy
riverwalk tampa restaurant and
this is the outdoor bar here
it's a nice lounge area
and then you can have
a nice view
of the river here the hillsborough river
just walk down this ramp and you can
start the walk there's a lot of
joggers and people exercising in the
morning here because they have a really
nice trail for you
and some like benches if you want to
relax down there
at night this is actually really pretty
because they light up
those tent like things with the rings
and it lights up in different colors
which is really nice they actually did a
fantastic job around here so we're at
the bottom of that ramp where we just
we're on top right there at the little
garden so here is the walkway that you
could do
um with a lot of people exercising or
you could take a stroll
with your dogs again they have some
doggy weigh stations and some trash cans
so very convenient if you have your dog
and then that's a better view of
the
university that's the university of
tampa across the street and there's also
a museum there too called henry b plant
museum another grassy area
this is like the main area i would say a
riverwalk
and sometimes they have yoga events
sometimes they have concerts here
again i used to walk home around here as
well
and then
that building up there that's actually
apartments
and then that's the glaziers glazier
children's museum which i haven't been
to but everybody you know has great
reviews about it and then that's the
tampa museum of art there
which is really nice i've been there a
couple of times and if you want to enjoy
the view on the water they actually do
have a water taxi here
um this is like their daily departure
times
and this is the route you could take
it does it hop on hop off just wave your
hand hail the taxi oh that's how you get
it
no pressure allowed yeah but no pets so
we can't go on it today but
looks like
it goes from the florida aquarium
um all the way to armature works
actually past armature works to ricks on
the river which is a little bar area
right in front of the tampa museum of
art there is a
interactive playground here it's kind of
fun i've actually played in this park a
little bit because they have some
digital games that you could play it's
just a little bit different you know
it's kind of like a high-tech children's
park you can get some
historic facts about important people of
tampa this is kate victoria jackson from
1857 to 1940 an environmentalist before
that word was coined
[Music]
it's in the middle of august in tampa so
it's
very hot and humid
it's not even eight o'clock yet and it's
80 degrees and the humidity is probably
like 200
you can just feel it this is a little
dog run area too um it's a little small
but you know if you want your dogs to
run around just a bit they have some fun
stuff for the dogs here
kuma you're doing so good i'm proud of
you
she's like guys are we done yet yeah
okay so here you kind of have to
it doesn't continue on you have to make
a right it's a little installation in
front of the tampa art museum it's kind
of cool it's like this flat head or
narrow head
so where you go around it
gives you like this weird perspective
and then right next to it is uh
the garage you can park here we actually
parked on the street this morning
because it's not too crowded yet but
here is a garage if you need it i
believe it's called pull garage
[Music]
so now we are actually i'm gonna go down
here now
uh yeah i think so we you'll see a sign
that says river walk so you can continue
down this way
but you'll come across the strat center
for the performing arts this is where
you'll see a lot of plays i did see the
sound of music here before also the book
of mormon
really nice theater
[Music]
so this is a nice outdoor seating area
in front of the theater
it's actually never ate
or drank out here but looks like a lot
of people do we have a lot of outdoor
chairs
it looks like they have a food stand
outside
[Music]
there's still some more street parking
here too that you could do we used to
park around here sometimes and start our
walk so they have plenty of street
parking around
and more
dogway stations nice they have a little
area here with nice bench swings
it's pretty cool how they put this here
we have three of them that's nice you
like that
what do you think comes comes like i'm
just gonna rest right here yeah
that's really cool i like this
[Music]
let me get this this view
[Music]
we're almost there i see armature works
so
i bet kuma's gonna be happy about that
i like this little area here
it's like shaded there's palm trees and
other trees mixed in
oh and there is another dog park over
there it's a very small one though so
i don't really go with karima but then i
liked it here when i first came the
water park here for the kids yep so
right next to that's the dog park right
next to it is a water park
and a lot of kids play there they have
the water slides and um they have like a
hell of a bucket of water that comes
down and sprays the kids oh my gosh that
looks so fun yeah it is a lot of fun is
it free it's pretty cute that's so crazy
because it looks like it's something
you'd have to pay for
um but i remember looking at him like oh
my gosh it looks like fun like even i
wanted to go wait me too that's an adult
usually like a hot summer day
that over there is a really popular
restaurant in tampa it's called ulele
and they have really excellent food
there a nice outdoor area as well
and um
the service is always great
then you get to walk this nice little
bridge here
so cute
like
when i first came here um they were
still building that area
that's pretty new
it's really nice yeah
it's so weird seeing it all put together
because i kind of came and visited
crystal like here and there so i've
never seen it all done
i've never walked this entire riverwalk
so like now i'm like oh we've been there
we've been there i didn't realize how
close
it's all connected yeah looks like
they're putting some chairs out for some
nights yeah
it's nice to watch the sunset here too
which we've done then you can get a
drink here on some armature works and
just sit out here
very very nice and this is armature
works
this is a fantastic place in florida too
they have lots of the different food
styles they actually have a rooftop bar
up there now which is really nice okay
so that is the tour of riverwalk again
we started from the curtis hixson area
and then ended up at armature works
you could go a little bit further than
um curtis hickson but i think the main
area people usually start from kurdistan
and then you know you can walk up to
armature works i kept saying to crystal
like oh i wish my dogs were here they
would love it so much we saw a lot of
dogs too yeah it is a really nice area
to take a walk be with your dog your
family um hang out with your friends and
along the way there's so many oh sorry
there's so many places you can stop um i
bet if you did stop at each place you
wouldn't even make it through the day
