Glazer Children's Museum houses Big John, the World's Largest Triceratops fossil, where children come nose-to-nose with the dinosaur and crawl underneath to peek through clear bubbles for an up-close view. The 35,000-square-foot museum in Tampa features interactive exhibits including Forts, where families build elaborate structures using blankets, pillows, and furniture, and a Publix grocery store replica where kids shop for realistic items, make sandwiches at the deli, and scan products at a checkout counter. The museum hosts camps, field trips, birthday parties, and signature events like Spooky Science with hands-on STEAM activities and live performances. Admission prices are published online, and tickets sell through the museum's website. Active Military, First Responders, Teachers, and Seniors over 65 receive 20% off admission with valid identification when purchasing in-person. Families qualifying for SNAP, EBT, or WIC benefits can access reduced-cost passes. The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday during the school year and daily during summer.
