The Surreal WorldEnter the bizarre world of flamboyant surrealist painter Salvador Dali at The Salvador Dali Museum. Come face to face with the dreamlike imagery of the famous melting watches, anatomical anomalies and photographic precision of the late renowned artist. This 2,800 square foot structure holds the largest permanent collection of Dali's works in the United States. 95 oil paintings, including masterpieces like the 9 foot tall "The Hallucinogenic Toreador", provide you one of the quickest ways to get a reality check. Admission starts at $3.50 for children 5-9. Phone: (800) 442-DALI Feather Boas OptionalGet a taste of old tinsel town glam at the historic movie palace, Tampa Theater. Go for a foreign, classic or indie flick, grab a seat and listen to the pipe organ playing, then watch it descend (yes, you read correctly) into the stage's floor before the movie begins. The arquitecturally stunning theater has clouds drifting slowly across its "sky", transporting patrons into a romantic courtyard with statues of Greek and Roman mythological figures and gargoyles. To add to the whole Hollywood drama, the gaudy, over-the-top theater also comes with its own ghost, as many claim to have seen Foster Finley, the theatre's projectionist for 20 years, making guest appearances.

In as little as 30 minutes, you'll be fully trained to experience a 60-second free fall at 120 MPH from a Twin Otter aircraft 13,500 feet up followed by a five to six minute canopy ride down. Skydive City also offers one of the finest AFF programs where skydiving students go through seven levels of free fall training and learn the flying and safety skills needed to be a competent skydiver.

Visit the 65-acre "Serengeti Plain" and take a 30-minute safari tour to get up close and personal with lions, giraffes, hyenas and other African species. Busch Gardens features more than 2,700 animals, live shows, restaurants, shops, games and scream-at-the-top-of-your-lungs rides like "SheiKra," the first dive coaster to incorporate an Immelmann loop, a water feature and a second 90-degree 138-foot drop through an underground tunnel. Pack your nerves of steel. Admission starts at $45.95 plus tax for children 3-9. Smoking Still AllowedOne of only three National Historic Landmark districts in the state of Florida, Tampa's Ybor City is known as the Nightlife Capital of Florida's West Coast. While strolling down the former Cigar Capital of the World's cobblestone streets, which are lined with globe streetlights and wrought iron balconies, the smell of café con leche and Cuban bread fills the air as master tabaqueros (cigar rollers) perform the ancient art of hand-rolling stogies. While in Ybor City, stop by King Corona Cigar Bar and Café, a cigar shop, social club, coffee shop-bar and barber shop, all rolled into one. From the clubbing to the dining to the shopping and the rolling, Ybor City is as caliente as it gets. Sea Something New

If you dare, visit "Frights of the Forest", an exhibit which focuses on the Amazon River and includes scorpions, tarantulas, poison arrow frogs, vultures, vampire bats and a pair of pythons longer than the average car. And if that's not enough, get a hands-on experience with more than 20 species of sharks and rays that'll make your spine tingle. For those who want to dive their noses into adventure, visit Dolphin Quest and go in search of the bottlenose dolphin aboard a 64-foot catamaran. Admission starts at $11.95 for children 3-12.
