Designed to inspire children with innovative play and discovery, the 53,000-square-foot (4,924 square meters) Glazer Children\u2019s Museum is easily accessible from the Tampa Riverwalk. This art-studded waterfront walkway borders the Hillsborough River, connecting public parks, visitor attractions, restaurants, and arts and cultural spaces like \u201cgems on a string.\u201d

Glazer\u2019s brightly colored three-story building is chock-full of exhibits that let children dress up, create art, build structures, splash around in water, and fully engage their imaginations. Kids can learn where their food comes from in the museum\u2019s Farm area, try on different health-care roles in the St. Joseph\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital exhibit, save the day in the Firehouse, or conquer a massive net climbing structure whose maze of giant \u201cwater drops\u201d give a sense of how water travels through an ecosystem.

\n\tOne of the museum\u2019s most captivating exhibits was custom designed by multi-disciplinary artist Ivan Toth Depe\xf1a. His Glazer piece, titled Light Cloud, is a high-tech installation whose coiled configuration evokes the swirling wind patterns of Florida\u2019s tropical storms. By touching sensors and mixing various colors, museum guests can manipulate the suspended sculpture, triggering musical tones and sending streams of colored light whirling and dancing through the piece. \n

\n\tComing May 26, 2023 (and included with general admission) is Big John the Triceratops. This colossal exhibit, \u201c66 million years in the making,\u201d puts guests nose to nose with \u201cBig John,\u201d the world\u2019s largest documented triceratops skeleton. The new exhibit is designed to let visitors study this fascinating fossil from every angle\u2014even underneath. Clear pop-up \u201cbubbles\u201d will allow the most inquisitive dino enthusiasts to view the skeleton from below. \n

\n\tDiscovered in South Dakota\u2019s Hell Creek geological area, Big John measures 26 feet long and 10 feet tall (8 meters by 3 meters), roughly the size of an RV. The massive dinosaur will take up residence on the museum\u2019s third floor, which will also house a dinosaur-themed education center. Big John is on long-term loan to the museum thanks to a generous collaboration with the Tampa-based Pagidipati family. \n

\n\tThe Glazer Children\u2019s Museum helps to deepen family connections with its ever-changing list of Family Play Projects, encourages guests to cozy up for story time, and lets kids channel their endless energy into dozens of interactive, hands-on exhibits. \n
