The Crown Colony House building was constructed in 1964 and originally named the “Old Swiss House”. It had been at that time, one of the first full service, in-park restaurants and in certain foodie circles, one of the best fine dining establishments in Tampa.

While the building itself has been used for many things since then, it is now a counter service type of restaurant, serving food that is somewhat nondescript and available in almost every other eatery throughout the park.

The very upper levels of the building are often closed to the public, but ample seating has been added on the outdoor patio that wraps around much of the building.
