EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
In the Florida city where commercial aircraft first soared skyward in 1914, discover the dreams and realities of flight in a fascinating aviation adventure. Explore the working restoration shop of the world’s largest private collection of vintage aircraft. Go behind the scenes of the award-winning Tampa International Airport. Experience narrated visits to hangars and an observation tower, and hear pilots and flight experts bring to life the triumphs of famous aviators and speculate on the future of flight.


Highlights

• Spend the day at Fantasy of Flight — home to 40 rare and vintage aircraft — and walk through a mock World War II combat zone.
• Gain special insider access at Tampa International Airport to appreciate its architecture and the challenges of airport security, airfield maintenance, cargo transport and more.
• Visit the busiest and largest Coast Guard Air Station in the country.
