One of the nicest places in Tampa for kids is the Museum of Science and Industry.
It has a ton of fun activities and lots of interactive experiences for the kids.
The place has a huge collection of permanent exhibits on physics, biology, the human body and the weather. There is a zipline Adventure as well as a ropes course outside by the playground. Entrance fees to the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa include all of the permanent exhibits, but you can pay extra to see a stargazing show in the planetarium. The Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa is one of my favorite places to take the kids during the summer. The Tampa area attraction is air-conditioned and that is important during the summer months. The weather in Tampa is extremely warm and humid. I don’t prefer to spend the day outside unless I am enjoying a water activity like going to the springs for swimming in a pool. I plan to take the kids to the museum on Tuesday. I didn’t call to make sure that it was open. When the kids and I arrived, we found out that the museum was closed for repairs. It was closed all day on Tuesday due to some issues with the heating and air conditioning system. The kids and I had to find something else to occupy our time on that day, so we decided to visit the aquarium instead. I had fun looking at the fish and sea creatures but I know the kids would have preferred something more active and hands-on.
