We absolutely LOVE Channelside. I can't believe this place is not more crowded than it is. What a gem to have this so close to Tampa, right on the water. It has seen its share of ups and downs with the economy, but it is always a fun and enjoyable place to be. The movie theatre is great. Love the choice of food, and you can ALWAYS find a good seat. Movie parking is STILL 50 cents if you get it validated. Seems some people are afraid of paying that, and will subject themselves to going over to Westshore in that melting pot of teenage fights in the parking lot. Do yourselves a favor and RETURN to Channelside for movies. Westshore movies just seems like so much work and way overcrowded. You see the same movies at both places. We will ALWAYS go to Channelside first!
