I can't believe I forgot to post and review our visit last year. It was such an amazing day in downtown Tampa that I guess I paid more attention to the world around me than my cursed cell phone. Tampa Bay History Center is an excellent visit for the tourist and the locals. Nice exhibits and friendly staff. We were there for the Tusk to Tails exhibit and it was a very nice exhibit for sure. A little smaller than anticipated; but still a good one. Being a cigar enthusiast, I especially enjoyed the area detailing Tampa's and Ybor's "Cigar City" history. I highly encourage everyone to explore history, embrace it, don't cancel it. History is what defines us and has set us on the path in which we are living now. Lessons the younger generations really need to learn and understand without inserting the emotional non-researched opinions. Alas, I will leave the soapbox. Get downtown and explore Tampa, you won't be disappointed.

A wonderful museum to enjoy on a hot day. Loved the different floors and the design. As someone who grew up in Florida, I learned new things! The pirate floor was awesome.

Beautiful museum and I had a fun experience. It was informative and well taken care of. It has 3 floors but there are elevators you can take. On the 3rd level, you can go outside and it overseas the water which was very pretty. I recommend this place if you’re in town! It is located downtown and near the aquarium and restaurants.

Let's chat..... On a rainy day maybe. Kinda boring. Not very interactive. Movies are okay. The pirate level is the best and the history museum's 1 Disney style movie experience. No dioramas. Some model planes. The elevator is kinda the coolest part.
