Downtown Channelside
Downtown Tampa

The area that has changed the most over the years in downtown Tampa is definitely what is now known as Channelside. Many years ago, it was primarily a warehouse district with grimy freighters docked nearby. Now it is a beautiful, bustling entertainment district with the architecturally unique Florida Aquarium as its anchor.
It is here you can set sail to your favorite Caribbean or Mexican destination or simply sip your favorite beverage and dream of a cruise. Channelside has it all - cinemas, IMAX theater, restaurants and unique shopping.

Imagine all that without leaving downtown!
