Tampa Bay History Center Media Preview Today



This is really going to be a great museum. But it really wasnt quite ready today.
The official opening is planned for Saturday, Jan 17 at 11 AM. Lots of music and more.

The exhibits showcase the Seminole Wars, the Cigar Industry, the Port, and more. An Olds auto that was provided by Ferman Motors looks so new that you think it must be a replica. Several media theatres deliver first class graphics and information.
Their is pleny for kids, but adults won't be disappointed. My favorite was a room loaded with excellently kept maps showing many different Florida locations at many different times.

As part of the RiverWalk, the Tampa Bay History Center is a great addition. The best secrets of the musueum might be the gift shop that looks like it is going to have some great historical items and the Columbia Cafe that will be open for lunch and more. Neither will require admission to the museum to enjoy. Museum admission is $12 per person. Children 4-12 - $7. Discounts for students and seniors.
Hours are 10 am - 5 PM Daily. More info at www.tampabayhistorycenter.org.
