Empower Adventures Tampa Bay

Empower Adventures Tampa Bay in Oldsmar holds a distinction that very few tourist attractions of any kind achieve: a perfect 5.0 Google rating from over 6,500 reviews. In the context of the competitive Tampa Bay family activity market, this is extraordinary — and it's the clearest possible signal that when families experience this place, they are genuinely blown away.

The attraction is a multi-course zip line and aerial adventure experience set over the wetlands and tree canopy adjacent to Tampa Bay. Participants harness up and navigate a series of zip lines, sky bridges, and platforms that move through the forest at varying heights and speeds. The full experience covers multiple towers and platforms over a 2-3 hour guided adventure.

What makes Empower Adventures stand out from a pure zip-line-at-a-facility experience is the setting. The Tampa Bay wetlands backdrop — cypress trees, birds, and genuine Florida wilderness — creates a sense of being immersed in nature rather than operating a ride. Views from the higher platforms across Tampa Bay are legitimately spectacular.

This natural environment is impossible to replicate at an indoor adventure park.

For kids ages 7 and up who meet the weight minimums, Empower Adventures consistently delivers the kind of experience families describe as trip-defining. Parents who come with mixed expectations frequently leave with it as their favorite Tampa Bay activity. The guides are knowledgeable and excellent with younger participants.

Reservations are essential — with a perfect rating and strong word-of-mouth, available slots fill well in advance, especially on weekends. Closed Tuesdays. Morning sessions are recommended over afternoons in Florida summer, both for temperature and to avoid the afternoon thunderstorm window.
