About Glazer Children's Museum

Glazer Children's Museum is a nonprofit children's museum in downtown Tampa, beside the Tampa Museum of Art and Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park along the Riverwalk. Its roughly 35,000 square feet of interactive space invite kids to climb, build, and pretend. Signature areas include a large triceratops fossil called Big John, a fort-building space made of blankets and pillows, and a realistic grocery store with a deli counter. The museum also runs camps, field trips, birthday parties, and a seasonal gingerbread village. Discounted admission and a library-based pass help families with limited budgets.
