Unique Outdoor Sunset Dinner Space – Water Works Park & Armature Works, Tampa - IMRAN®


Unique Outdoor Sunset Dinner Space – Water Works Park & Armature Works, Tampa - IMRAN® 


Tampa offers some truly wonderful spaces to explore, and my evening at Ulele was no exception. I enjoyed a fabulous dinner with great colleagues and friends, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of this beloved waterfront destination.  


Before we were seated in the area behind me, I captured this stunning HDR (high dynamic range) image, showcasing the warm hues of the setting sun and the inviting ambiance of the space. The signature orange chairs complement the restored Cinderella horse-drawn pumpkin carriage sculpture, visible to the far right.  


This sculpture, originally part of Tampa’s historic Fairyland at Lowry Park, has been lovingly restored and now stands as a nostalgic tribute to the city’s past. The whimsical piece, featuring Cinderella’s iconic carriage, evokes childhood memories for many Tampa natives who once marveled at these fairy-tale displays.  


Though I grew up in Pakistan, fairy tales like Cinderella were a cherished part of my childhood. My siblings and I knew these timeless stories well, dreaming of enchanted castles, magical transformations, and happily-ever-afters. 


Seeing this sculpture here in Tampa was a reminder of how fairy tales transcend borders, weaving magic into childhoods across the world. Thanks to restoration efforts, it continues to enchant visitors at Ulele, blending history with the modern charm of the Riverwalk.
