Saint Petersburg Real Estate Agent and Local Guide on LovingStPete

Animal Encounters

Scroll down for activities around the Tampa Bay area that involve animal encounters or critters! Animal lovers will be glad to know that most of these are just a short drive of Saint Petersburg. Some though might be considered a day trip. From the Tampa Zoo to the Clearwater Aquarium and free nature parks with animal exhibits. There are so many options in this area of Florida and I’m always adding more. I’d suggest navigating to my LovingStPete blog as it’s easier to filter! You can then choose from for instance ‘beach fun’, ‘kids activities’, ‘sweet treats’, ‘nature parks’, ‘boating’ and much more. All of my recommendations for animal encounters have 4+ stars on Google Reviews at the time of posting!

My name is Mike Braswell and I’m a real estate agent in the Tampa Bay area. I use my @LovingStPete social media accounts and blog to serve as a guide to over 15 thousand followers! Please contact me if you would like to discuss St Pete Real Estate. I’d love to earn your business!
