What travelers are saying
- Sam CEvansville, IN56 contributionsA FANTASTIC museum. Some great work here. The key to seeing Dali’s paintings is to see the work within the work. For instance, look for Abraham Lincoln. If you enjoy art, we haughty recommend this museum.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DONNY SBoynton Beach, FL515 contributionsVery well maintained botanical gardens. Relaxing stroll through the tropical flora. On the way you see flamingos strolling in the pond and caged exotic birds. Peaceful and shaded. The history of this 120 year old property is quiet fascinating describing the founding family, their economic ups and downs, the Florida attraction site, and the required upkeep. Worth the visit, reasonable entrance fee and expect too spend just over an hour strolling these gardens.Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard GMoltonborough5 contributionsSought out the Duncan McClellan Gallery in the warehouse district of St. Petersburgh, which is definitely off the beaten track. Do not be put off by the area as the visit is well worth it. This is a large gallery of several rooms and a walking garden, all filled with the most beautiful and unusual glass art....vases, plates, free-forms, animals, sculptures, and more. The gallery also has several glass working furnaces in its large work area and offers frequent demonstrations. This is a unique gallery with works from artists from the US and beyond. Don't miss it!!Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Skipperdee89Shelbyville, KY55 contributionsOur trip to the Chihuly Collection was a highlight of spring break beach trip. While the collection isn’t huge, it is absolutely breathtaking. Combined with the fascinating video and mesmerizing glass-blowing demonstration at the Morean Glass Studio across the street (included in the ticket price), it was a wonderful morning of art at a very affordable price compared to other museums.Written April 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dreamer253429489151 contributionWalked by this place for several night and finally stopped in. SO MUCH FUN!!! We’ve been to an axe throwing place in another state…and this was SO MUCH BETTER!! They actually explain better, have games to play instead of just throwing the axe over-and-over. Kyle was our “Coach” and he was a blast!Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JoeBoone82Nashville, TN140 contributionsA lot of people told us to lower our expectations when planning to catch a Rays game, but I was pleasantly surprised. I know the ballpark is older and outdated, but that does not mean it was falling apart, dirty, etc. I actually enjoyed the Air conditioning while watching a ballgame. I'm a Braves fan, and sitting outside in Atlanta can be brutal. I would go back to this park again if I'm in the area before the new park is built.Written September 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Taylor BChicago, IL8,761 contributionsThe Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida, is as impressive on the outside from an architectural perspective as it is on the inside with a collection covering almost 5,000 years of civilization. Located at 255 Beach Drive Northeast, across the street from the new St. Pete Pier, the museum showcases thousands of objects extending from antiquity to present, to fascinating travel exhibitions, to exciting events in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg's scenic waterfront. Open from 10 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 on Sunday, the Museum of Fine Arts features the only comprehensive art collection of its kind on Florida's west coast, including masterpieces from Monet, O'Keeffe, De Kooning, Wiley, Morisot, Rodin and Steichen. Also see African art, European paintings, American photography, even ancient Greek and Roman art. Take a guided tour and purchase the MFA handbook, a beautifully bound book, published by Rizzoli, which highlights more than 200 works of art from all areas of the permanent collection. Founded by Margaret Acheson Stuart, the museum was opened to the public in 1965, the first art museum in St. Petersburg located on the downtown waterfront. Did you notice the Bombax tree on the south lawn that was only three feet tall when it was planted after the museum opened? Currently on view are stunning exhibitions by noted photographer Tom Jones, Japanese woodblock prints and Japanese photographs from the Meiji Era from 1870 to 1900 and Dogs in Art. Jones' Here We Stand" exhibit includes more than 100 works spanning from 1998 to 2021, including his critical assessment of the romanticized representation of Native Americans in photography that re-examines historic pictures taken by white photographers. The "Lasting Impressions" exhibit features 60 Japanese woodblock prints from famous Kabuki theater actors in the 18th century to vibrant landscapes in the 19th century.Written July 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Schneider231Cincinnati117 contributionsNice park for a walk. Flat terrain. Paths could be marked better. Had an aviary with injured birds including a bald eagle. $3 admission. We went in Feb saw a few birdsWritten February 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CVTravelersCastro Valley, CA266 contributionsMy wife and I spent two or three hours here exploring the boardwalks, trails and observation platform. The parking lot was almost completely full when we arrived but once we started on the trails, we saw just a few people spread out over our walk. We found the area to be very peaceful and the walks to be enjoyable. We saw a few birds and fish and otherwise enjoyed the greenery and views from the observation platform. The visitor center exhibits and information signs along the trails are all quite helpful in understanding the ecosystem and definitely contributed to our visit. While it was quite close to our hotel in St Petersburg, it felt very far away and made for a relaxing couple of hours of fresh air. We recommend.Written April 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nicholas & SarahSt. Petersburg, FL35 contributionsRapidly growing city that is absolutely beautiful. It's relatively small, so getting around doesn't take much walking. Unfortunately, that means that downtown streets can become highly congested during peak hours, so finding parking can be difficult.Written January 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
