About this adventure
Take an idyllic post-Thanksgiving sunset stroll along Tampa's continuous 2.6-mile pedestrian Riverwalk along the Hillsborough River. Thanksgiving weekend marks the illumination of the Riverwalk's giant holiday floating light displays, lighted bridges, and seasonal hotel displays. Starting from the Tampa Bay History Center up to Armature Works, families can stop at multiple shaded playgrounds, water fountains, and splash pads. Strollers glide easily over the wide, flat, barrier-free boardwalks, and pirate water taxis offer hop-on, hop-off river cruises.
