SALVADOR DALÍ MUSEUM REVIEWS
Amazing museum, definitely need to see it while in St. Pete! The permanent collection of Dali's work is immaculate with some readily recognizable pieces, and others that you really have to look closely at to see all of the amazing detail placed into his work. The building itself is gorgeous, and outside there are Dali references sprinkled around, even as you're walking up the front steps. The rotating exhibit on the third floor was cool to see, and they had another Dali piece stashed away in there! You also absolutely have to walk through the garden outside, lots of fun photo opportunities! Lastly, don't forget to attach your wristband to the wish tree! You can do it yourself, or you can leave it in a box up front for museum staff to put on the tree for you (but it's more fun and personal to do it yourself).
The Dali Museum is a real masterpiece of art in itself. Perfectly placed for lunch or dinner after your visit. The collection is outstanding. The layout takes you through Dali's life and work. The lighting is just right. The staff is very helpful. There's an app you can connect to that gives you the history of each painting. I will go again the next time I'm near.
Quaint, but time well spent if you take great company. Love the history of the art owners , I frequent the Dali as they have great temporary exhibitions. It was just nice to take a gander at during our girls weekend out. The interactive pieces are awesome learning opportunities. We also got lucky as there was a small festival behind the museum after Cheers!!

SUNKEN GARDENS REVIEWS
If you are anywhere near this beautiful garden, It is worth every bit of your effort to visit it. There are amazing specimens from all over the world. They have taken a great amount of time to make sure that these beautiful plants have survived over 100 years. Great gift shop, as well. I highly recommend this lovely garden and the history that it brings to St Pete.
Sunken gardens was really beautiful. Many opportunities for gorgeous pictures. Flamingos are my favorite and I loved seeing them so happy in their habitat. I recommend you bring LOTS of mosquito repellent! FYI- you can bring outside drinks in. Such a beautiful and well preserved park.
Visited with the family. We all enjoyed our relaxing walk through the gardens. Kids really liked seeing the flamingos, turtles & laughing kookaburra. My wife is an avid gardener, she thoroughly enjoyed her time walking around and getting inspiration from the garden.

MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS REVIEWS
My daughter and I went on the weekend and all the museums were free for residents and students I wasn't sure what exhibits they currently had. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the curious staff as well as the many collections from a vast time periodic was a day we will never forget.
I really enjoyed the Bernini Roman Baroque exhibit today. A nice museum with ease of viewing and polite crowds. I just wish there were more docents available at he exhibit as I couldn't get a simple question answered... But other than that.... Top notch.
Great Museum with a fantastic Showing. Women Photographers exhibit is very well put together. Oldest piece in the museum is 4700 years old. Gives me goose bumps to be in its presence. Thank you.
