Park Experience Stories ¶
In an effort to offer accessibility to all residents of Tampa, C.A.R.D. produced Autism Friendly Experience Stories to help parents, teachers and other caregivers prepare guests with autism for their visit to our park or facility. It is suggested that you review the site's Experience Story prior to your visit.
