Useful for navigating and determining the stops you want to get on/off at. https://www.tecolinestreetcar.org/livemap.html This is a quick link to live map of actual locations of both southbound (going Downtown) and northbound (traveling to Ybor) cars - useful for getting a good idea of how much time you'll have to get or wait at the station. ----- As mentioned by others, the TECO Line Streetcar is completely free (no fare/fee to utilize). With that being said, if you ever want to skip the hassle of driving back and forth between the Downtown and Ybor districts, this is the way to do it. It's definitely a great mode of public transportation around the aforementioned districts. Complimenting the mode of transportation, the Streetcar system also offers a very fun/entertaining way to get around. It can definitely be fascinating to be able to ride earlier technology that existed prior to modern day mobiles. The streetcars travels probably no more than 30mph at any given time - slowing down and speeding up between to adjust the other local traffic patterns and conditions. So with that being said, if you're looking at travelling the entire length (between Stop 1 and 11), I would safely dedicate 45 minutes for that trip. We never had to wait long at any stop before getting on (plus you have a link above to help you manage the time a bit better). Route-wise, you will be able to see and access the neater areas of Downtown Tampa and the Ybor District. The stops/stations are rather well thought, designed and planned. All stations offers an ADA-accessible ramp. Yes, sometimes the cars get packed, but that's with any public transportation system - definitely something to consider when it comes to understanding the local events happening in town and how that would potentially impact the line. We have ridden the TECO Streetcar Line about a dozen times at this point, and have always enjoyed the relaxing ride! Definitely recommend this experience if you're in town!

Layout? Idiotic - three distinct paths that don't connect. Go down one and you are trapped. Pathways and signs? Enjoy going in circles when the few paths that are there are closed off. Food? Enjoy virtually no options with bang up prices like 5.50 for a bottle of water. Took a half hour to get a pulled pork sandwich and fries on a Tuesday at 3PM. They understaff, under run the rides to save on maintenance, and generally don't care. Go literally anywhere else. Update - after pretending they care I was supposedly going to at least get money back for the "fast passes," but they ghosted me. The owners of this place suck.

Kristi was our attendant and she was friendly and attentive. There were some carolers going through the cars. When we arrived at the North Pole, there were several tents sent up. We went to the food tent and had a delicious chargrilled chicken pita and fries, although they also offered a delicious smelling London broil sandwich, Nathan's hot dogs, and some other choices. Staff was friendly. We were entertained by four MSA ( Manatee School of the Arts),singing Christmas songs and leading games...but this awesome trip was literally dampened by a large and long thunder storm with torrential rains and flooding. The storm led to the stoppage of campfires, the bouncy house and a bunch of activities we didn't see because we were in the tent the entire time. The rain got so bad the singers literally stopped/ left... Nevertheless, everyone was friendly, the area was beautifully decorated, and most were dressed up in holiday fun wear. Entire trip was supposed to be 3.5 hours, with about 2 hours at the "North Pole" ( the museum and grounds), but the train returned early to take us back. Definitely returning.

In the sense that you will eventually get to your destination for a price that is lower than flying…read moreand without the stress of driving, they get 2 stars. But I wouldn't recommend traveling by train if you are alone, especially if the travel times are not convenient. I traveled from Tampa to Jacksonville on a Sunday evening. The train arrived about 40 minutes late, and because the station is under construction, everyone was lined up at the platform in Florida heat at that time. Not fun. Not enough seating for everyone at the platform. There are no seat reservations for standard seats on this train. If you are traveling in a group, the porters will make sure you are seated together. But if you are traveling alone, you will be at the mercy of chance, and I lost that gamble during the trip. I spent my journey uncomfortable and stressed out. There is a cafe, but I did not go there. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my work computer at my seat unattended, and I didn't want to have to heft my computer bag and purse all the way to the dining car. Thankfully, I had packed a snack, so that sustained me for the 6+ hour journey. There's wifi, but it was not great, and my phone kept switching to using the 5G. The bathroom was pretty foul. I limited my water consumption to avoid using it, but I could smell it from my seat. We started 40 minutes late, but by the time we got to Jacksonville, we were more than an hour behind schedule. That meant I got to Jacksonville after 11pm, which wasn't great as a single female traveler. My employer is headquartered in Jacksonville, and there's no direct flight from Tampa. But based on my experience, I do not think the train is an option. I will have to drive the next time.

So coming here was totally random as none of us knew this existed it was just tucked away from the rest of the state fair and what a cool treat this was to an already awesome day! So this area is basically a bunch of colonial style buildings with lots of people playing those parts as it has everything a town would have back then and then some! We explored all the different buildings some with individuals crafting items like candles and rugs the old school way which was super cool to see as that isn't always the case anymore but with that said you really can't go wrong as that's when things were quality built to last! Pretty much everything here was a history lesson and a much needed one as it had been a while since I've been in an atmosphere like this making for a super fun time! Overall this is a super cool addition to the fair and a must do on your visit as we spent a good deal of time here and could have spent more time had we discovered this sooner, so definitely don't overlook this super cool area of history as it's a lot of fun!

We were here on a very specific mission, one son was looking for ghostbusters toys and the other was looking for pokemon cards. One of the employees told us that they get the most calls from people looking for pokemon cards. So I don't bury the lead, they don't have just packs of pokemon cards, but they do have a set that includes multiple packs for $60. We ended up getting that for my older son and I've been giving him a pack every couple of days. I was little nervous about our mission to find ghostbuster stuff. There were tons of star wars stuff and a lot of funko figurines. We did find ghostbuster funko figures, but that wasn't really what we were looking for. Eventually after walking around a bit, we did find three small ghostbuster items. I think they're meant to be kept on a desk, but my son has been playing with them like they're toys. I haven't seen ghostbusters so I'm not going to describe this well, but they are items to track and then trap ghosts. He was ecstatic that we found them, so mission accomplished. If you're looking for comic books then this is heaven. If you're looking for specific toys, it may be hit or miss, but for us it was a hit. This is definitely a place worth checking out.
