Choose a day trip for us

We’ve got wanderlust — where do you want to see us go?

Crystal River shines blue. It is surrounded by trees.

Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is under 100 miles from TBAY.

City Editor Patrick here, handing over the reins to you, our wonderful readers.

We recently shared some of our day trip suggestions, all within around two hours from the Tampa Bay area. But now, we’d like you to choose one for us to experience + write about. We narrowed it down to five choices:

  • Cedar Key
  • Kennedy Space Center
  • Ocala National Forest
  • Punta Gorda
  • Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge

Not only will we write about a day spent in the winning location, but we’ll also share footage on our Instagram page.

Make your pick.
