    Exceeded our expectations.
    Some of the exhibitions are interactive and the VR experience is excellent.
    Join the free guided tours - they don’t last long but really informative.

    Well worth visiting. Beautiful tropical gardens with beautiful flamingos and gorgeous tropical birds. Beautifully maintained and gentle walking path with plenty of benches for resting and enjoying the calm.

    This collection showcases the works and life story of Dale Chihuly, the glassblower artist entrepreneur. Originally housed in another location in DTSP (Downtown St Pete), this location is a huge upgrade to this expanded location. The photo display of Chihuly's timeline is brief but includes all pertinent facts. The movie offers another layer of information.
    The glass works and some of the related artworks are on display. They also highlight another artist, in this case, Akiko Kotani and the works called BURST.
    Enjoy the beautiful glass pieces, small and large, abstract and concrete items, like a variety of plant shapes. I have seen Chihuly works on display in Las Vegas and in Arizona Botanical Garden, which are compelling but this St Pete collection is awesome.
    Wheel chair access restroom with grab bars
    Wheel chair access pay by app street parking. Some free spots are available with 2 hour free.

    The variety and quality of the glass in this gallery is nothing short of amazing! Owner/glass artist Duncan was on site and offered comments on pieces of interest. Really delightful outdoor garden with some fine glass pieces. Rotating artists keep things fresh. Definitely recommend

    This downtown area is full of eateries of all kinds, banks, scooter rentals, bars, cigar bars, waterfront activities, trolleys, museums, grocery, speciality shoppes, dance places, live music, parks, and so many things to do amid on-going construction. The area is walkable, with street parking. Most street parking is pay by app, although you look for some free 2 hour parking spots. Paid garage parking. Enjoy walks through the park, through the bustling night life, shoppes, and museums. Luckily, the weather allows outdoor activity all year long.
    Although the beach is about 7 miles away, the St Pete Pier offers a small beachfront access.
    Pay by app street parking is hard to find, paid garage parking spots.

    Unfortunately, timing of visit meant could only visit on the weekend when it wasn’t possible to view production. You do get to see a video before the wine tasting. Amazing to see (and sample) so many varieties. Staff are friendly, helpful and pleasant.

    So I kinda liked this older, smaller, no frills stadium. Great seats! Great parking and a pretty good team. Liked the vibe of the fans and on field entertainment. Felt like old fashioned baseball. Enjoy seeing one of the last games of the season. Low tech where the baseball was the star

    This incredible museum founded in 1965 offers fine art from many eras of history and many parts of the world. The paintings and fiber works highlight many eras, and the outdoor sculpture park offers a few well defined pieces in a relaxed courtyard. I love the special exhibits especially Ansel Adams photos with a large sitting area and some of Adams's books to augment the hanging photos. The Audubon section is amazing! A true wealth of Papua New Guinea in that exhibit!
    Great works of art in a spacious environment. The section on Africa is small, and many areas of Africa into one room, with minimal consideration to the vast diversity of the African continent.
    The museum website offers an entire section on accessibility, including Sensory Saturdays once a month for those with sensory challenges, Home schooling programs, and Teen art workshops. They offer film screenings and talks related to Florida nature, special speakers, Art after Dark on Thursday with reduced admissions.
    Anyone can call in advance to receive an American Sign Language interpreter and have access to a color enhancement tool for those with colorblindness.
    The Museum has made wheelchair ramps to the entrance that blend with the historic preservation of original architecture.
    Café Clementine offers a coffee shop with several coffee preps and some great pastries that does not require paid entrance to the museum to imbibe. Also the MFA store offers tasteful museum related gifts.
    Wheel chair access restrooms with grab bars.
    Wheel chair access to the entire museum with automatic doors.
    a small amount of Wheel chair access parking by the museum, and street pay by app parking. Parking is challenging during Downtown St Pete events, fairs, and concerts.

    This is a beautiful nature preserve. There is a well maintained boardwalk from which one can be immersed in a natural Floridian habitat. Walk to the tower to get a panoramic view of the area. Birds such as blue herons and darters can be seen as well reptiles including soft-shell turtles and of course alligators are present although I personally did not see any gators. There are plenty of joggers and walkers as well as sightseers. Unfortunately the water fountain was out of order so bring plenty of water.
