Fodor's Expert Review Glazer Children's Museum

It's all about play here, and, with 53,000 square feet, more than a dozen themed areas, and over 170 interactive exhibits, there's plenty of opportunity for it. In areas designed to nurture imagination and strengthen confidence children and families can experience everything from flying an airplane to shopping for groceries. Kids can also create art, control the weather, navigate a mini-shipping channel, and "drive" a miniature (stationary) fire truck through Tampa. The Water's Journey Tree mimics the water cycle and lets kids climb to the second floor.
