3 Best Landmarks in St Petersburg, FL

This is one of only a few accredited Holocaust museums in the country. Despite already having plenty of knowledge about this event, is still learned more, ans saw more photos that were new. Also go for the special exhibits. The Catskills were before my time, so it was funny to learn about that area in its era (yes, Dirty Dancing did come up). One of the most important Holocaust speakers/survivors has his own exhibit, go se Elie Wiesel.

This is a very emotionally powerful museum. It is designed to be child friendly, so it doesn’t go as in-depth as some museums on the subject I’ve been to. The volunteer was very helpful in describing the museum and exhibits. They had two temporary exhibits going on during my visit. I found the “We Share The Same Sky” exhibit to be the most moving. It was very touching and had many items that brought me back to the museums of Europe. I would definitely return in the future, it’s a really special place here in Florida to be able to reflect on exhibits and items that normally you would have to travel to Europe to see.

Be prepared to ingest a lot of knowledge. The lay out took you from the beginning and it was very well done. The rail car was incredibly moving and I was overcome with emotions that I broke down crying. I honestly don't have the right words to explain it but you must come here and learn more than what you thought you knew.

I went here as a kid 2-3 times last time i went i was maybe 10-11 yrs old i was really young , i was here when the cow used to be out on the floor ,there was cakes in the sealed shelf in the publix bakery area, it was so long ago but anyways i came today with my son and this was my sons first time coming and he enjoyed himself he ran around , interacted with other kids,played and learned, it was fun to have a experience like this with my toddler ,i think this is a really good place to take your toddler honestly theres so much for them to interact with theres a pizza area,veterinarian area,fossil area,news area,a dental area,publix area,,lego area,firefighter area also two small area where you can see real small pets ,ito sum it all up ts alot but your kid will have fun.

The kids loved this museum. The Publix shopping pretend play area was a favorite. This museum allows children to be as creative as they want to be. The workers are keep an eye out while cleaning up behind the children as they play with everything and they do it with genuine pleasure. I would visit again and recommend to all parents or grandparents with young children.
