We love Splitsville... a restaurant with a bowling alley (no need to settle for stale popcorn and a pitcher bud light).
The biergarten always has a variety of brews. Sipping a refreshing beverage and sitting on the swings is such a great way to relax.

Right on the Riverwalk, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park usually has great activities year-round. If you head there when there are no activities planned, you can still take a nice stroll on the Riverwalk, grab a drink at the Four Green Fields bar, head to the dog park, or take your kids to the playground. The Gazer Children's Museum and the Tampa Museum of Art are adjacent to this park.

This is our favorite park in St. Pete - just a 40 minute drive. Beautiful views with a great area for hammocks. Just relax and listen to music or even go for a bike ride (they have some you can rent along with scooters). Vinoy Park is close to the pier (about a 20 minute walk). We always see wildlife from Blue Crabs to dolphins and manta ray! There are usually ice cream trucks and stands along with a public restroom and playground.
