Kane's is hooking up Tampa fans this year! The Tampa Bay Lightning just announced on their Facebook that you can score a free ticket to The Florida Aquarium when the Bolts score 3 or more goals in a game. They don't even need to win, as long as 3 shots make it in the back of the net! Claiming your ticket is super easy, but you have to act fast! The fine print states that they are giving away a maximum of 1,500 redemptions per 3-goal games.

This is a great deal since the Lightning are on a hot streak at home right now. The game before this announcement they beat Columbus in a 6-3 win. With superstar shooters like Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and Nikita Kutcherov we have a feeling that we will have lots of opportunities to take advantage of this deal. This deal only lasts for the regular season, so we have roughly 20 games left to claim this deal.

Here's how to claim your free admission ticket to The Florida Aquarium

  1. The Lightning have to score three goals in a game in order to qualify.
  2. Once that third goal gets in the back of the net, head to kanes3goals.com to claim your online voucher. You'll have 48 hours of the game to claim, but since it's a limited quantity we think they'll run out within a few hours. SO ACT FAST!
  3. Bring your online voucher to a participating Kane's Furniture location within 7 days of the qualifying game.
  4. Use your free ticket before April 30, 2023. Blackout dates from March 12-17 will apply.

Some other things to note: This deal is not valid with any other discount to the aquarium. The voucher does not include parking. Finally, there is a limit of one voucher per email and phone number. This means you can only register for the coupon once.

7 Great Places To Eat Near Amalie Arena

Heading to a Lightning game this season or going to see a show at Amalie Arena? Here are 7 great places to eat that's near Amalie Arena. All of these locations are within walking distance, but if you don't feel like walking, hop on the TECO street car or use an electric scooter. Whether you're in the mood for some bar bites or want to sit down and have a nice dinner, here are our recommendations. Depending on the event, you may want to get to these places a little earlier (around 5p) or make a reservation to secure your spot!

Downtown Tampa is constantly changing. It seems like each week there's a new trendy restaurant that we must try! Of course, there are the staple Tampa restaurants like Hattricks. There are also many options at Sparkman Wharf, but we narrowed that down to our favorite spot. If all else fails, you can always go to the Publix on Channelside Dr for a pub sub. This Publix location even has a bar and happy hour! Have you been to any of these places yet? Let us know your favorite on social media!

Honorary Mention

It would be silly for us not to include the new Yard House in this list. The new trendy restaurant recently opened directly across the street from Amalie Arena (where the old Ferg's Live used to be). They have 130 beers on tap and some really tasty appetizers for a pregame snack. But beware, unless you make a reservation or get there before 4 pm, you likely won't find a seat before your event. You should also know that they do not run their happy hour specials on event days. So no half-off apps and discounted beer on game/concert days.

Here are our favorite 7 places to eat near Amalie Arena:

Yeoman's

Yeoman's is our favorite pregame spot for any Lightning game. Their food is delicious and comes in huge portions! It does get pretty busy here on game days, so get there early to claim a spot.

Jotoro/Sparkman Wharf

Like we said earlier, there are so many options to choose form at Sparkman Wharf. If you're in a rush before the game, head to JoDog for a quick snack. If you have the time, go into Jotoro for some delicious tacos and margaritas.

Jackson's Bistro

It's a little bit of further walk, but the food and views are totally worth it!

Columbia Cafe

This Columbia Cafe location is the most convienent for any Lightning or concert pre-game. Stop across Water Street for a bite and some fresh-mixed sangria at the Columbia Cafe at the Tampa Bay History Center.

Wagamama

Water St has completely transformed and is now home to so many great foodie spots! Wagamama is one of our favorites with the tastiest ramen and cocktails!

Harpoon Harry's

Located by the convention center, Harpoon Harry's a delicious seafood spot perfect for hanging out on Lightning game days.

The Pearl On Water St

For a more elegant and elevated pre-game or pre-show meal, head to one of Tampa's best restaurant additions The Pearl on Water St. They have the best cocktails and tasty appetizers to share!
