Great Exploration Children’s Museum

A pirate ship hangs suspended in midair. Styrofoam pellets vibrate to sound frequencies. Tennis balls rocket toward the ceiling. Plastic robots jolt to life. Recipient of a 2010 Best of St. Petersburg Award from the U.S. Commerce Association, Great Exploration Children's Museum incites creativity and invention from visitors of all ages with constantly rotating interactive exhibits that fill 18,000 square feet with touch, light, and sound. Pulley towers allow children to hoist themselves into the air, and a mock fire station thrills wee visitors with a fire engine, child-sized firefighters' gear, and microscopic dalmatians. Museum guides lead lesson programs in a multidisciplinary style, though visitors can also find the friendly professionals and their orange polo shirts bouncing between exhibits while performing science experiments, dancing, and playing music.

Themed events let visitors discover the museum's potential through focuses such as "Get Back to Nature," "Pirates of Exploration," and "Winter Wonderland," and seasonal camps explore annual topics such as the life cycle of a bunsen burner.
