•topic dialogue Serving at the Museum since October 2022 until March 15, 2023. Has been a great honor. Here is my #backstory to not only just #serving, #working & #playing at the direct GLAZIER Children Museum in general. When I had arrived to be hired at the GLAZIER Children Museum last year October I was honored knowing where I was just coming from a background of specializing in the field of #mentalhealth as a BHT which is Behavioral Health Technician entry level position. As I was able to bring those skills to the museum & add them along with many other great professional skills that too aided me along this journey of this full experience of the museum. I was able to apply them all! I applied the skills set that I had gained from working with the company YMCA as an youth care after school counselor in this Playogolist position that I was hired working at the GLAZIER Children Museum. I was able to apply even too the Customer Courtesy Service position skills set too that I applied within this position working at the GLAZIER Children Museum. I was able to even apply being a natural Dad as you see I'm a Dad to these two beautiful children in general while they got to experience enjoying the GLAZIER Children Museum in general too as I was working there & many occasions they got to witness the professional work ethic that was exactly displayed. They enjoyed the good service that I was able to serve unto them & even still customers too encouraging them to keep enjoying these rare moments to add so much value to their family memories. As I had got my Dietician Nutritional certification I was able to apply that within this position able to deliver great high performance even displaying the natural talents & gift's within me to even ingrate with the experiences I had encountered at the museum overall. In this moment today as I went to serve/work/play I was directly let go in general surprised very much so with No! Inform. I'm sharing this post because, as today I had experienced being "release & let go". I've been waiting to share not just an post about recommendations of going to this place. I'm sharing this because, just as I served & worked in the Mental-Health field beforehand coming & getting hired for the museum in general. I was able to share the services unto so many customer's about being an guide into deep pre'meditation unto meditation aiding them to connect to the infinite everlasting eternal Creator for me I call the Creator the Most High YAH. I was able to also share healthy nutritional facts with families even into guiding with encouraging to eat daily value nutritional meals as I practice this with my family & all. I even shared this too with co-workers. I was able to even perform just naturally supporting families to encourage their children to read in story-time along with applying the Infinite Creator the Most High YAH natural talents & gift's in me. I witness children complimenting me. I witness families laughs, smiles & also too their inner'beingness/inner'child coming out of them to just be enjoying deeply the moment. As also an trauma informed specialist I was able to detect symptoms of behaviors of direct children behaviors & was able to curve their behavior aiding the families through many transitions especially within a museums unto the next exhibits. So yes in all these direct encounterings & now added more skills I'm very grateful in the position I was able to serve directly in. Last towards all the direct equipment within each exhibit the one on the first floor name "Color Cloud" I believe was one of the many great experiences along with apply much joyfulness to doing the too end of the day parade. In the Color cloud I applied to guide so many soul's within their direct bodies to truly connect with such deep sensations within themselves in such melody playful ways that it was just honest amazing to see in general. If you would like to contact me reach out to me. •Scripture: Give unto Yahuah the glory due unto his name; worship Yahuah in the beauty of holiness. TEHILLIYM 29:2-2 את CEPHER

My review could be an entire page long if I'm not careful! My kiddos (8&6) had an amazing time!!! We played for 6 hours with a 30 minute stop for lunch. From crafts, mini Publix, fire station, Big John the dinosaur, there is SO much to see and do! We learned about Glazer from an episode of Blippi, I had my doubts going into this but we had an amazing experience. Now if your child is not the "imagination" type, this is probably not the place for them. This is the place to flex those imagination muscles and explore. I can see how an 8 year old that isn't into imaginative play could be bored and not have a good time. There are a few things throughout the museum that are being worked on. Coming off a busy summer season, it's expected. Thousands of kids came through the museum over the summer, kids are hard on things. Now cost, we have been to a LOT of museums around the country. This one is slightly higher than some but not terrible. The adult price can definitely be lower, seeing as we just get to walk around and supervise. Parking, we drive a dually and I was slightly nervous about the parking garage. We made it fine but it was close. There was plenty of parking in the garage on a Friday.

What sets Glazier children’s museum apart from the rest is their “museums for all“ policy. Low income families can come for a greatly reduced price. They frequently offer multi cultural events and monthly sensory sensitive days. This type of care for various populations in our community really sets the bar! I would have given the museum a five star rating, but there were a number of exhibits that were “down“ and in need of repair. Some were just a few parts of an existing exhibit, others were the entire exhibits. (The place has been well loved.) also cleanliness was an issue in some exhibits. But in spite of that, our family had an amazing time and I had to literally pry my youngest daughter away. Highlights of the day were the water feature on the first floor with balls running down bridges and rain coming from the sky, as well as the public shopping area, the vet and the Saint Joe’s medical unit. There is a café downstairs, but it has limited offerings and is a bit on the pricey side. We packed a lunch and ate at Chris Hickman park next-door.

I’ve never been to the children’s museum or was aware that there was nearby in downtown Tampa. Best parking is the garage next door, William Poe Parking. They charge via app or by your license plate. Parking was tight and full even though we arrived 10 minutes before opening. It’s also parking for the art museum next door and the library. I would advise to come early for a good parking spot. Upon entrance, you’ll notice the self serve food area and the first attraction is the water play area. There’s also a climbing area but the steps were too steep for small children so we passed. Second floor had the stores, farms, and all you can think of. Third floor was closed so we didn’t get to see the other attractions that were there. I don’t know if it’s always been that way or if they’re remodeling but it was off limits. It was very busy, even going as they opened up but it was fun and there was plenty to do. I would definitely go again!

This was our first visit and we had a really nice time. The place smelled super clean. The first floor with the water table was a hit with our almost three year old. He could have spent the whole day there. The second floor has all the different themes play areas. This floor was a bit more chaotic, as expected. It definitely isn't as neat as what you see on Blippi lol. But for having hundreds of kids playing with everything each day, it didn't feel dirty or less than expected. It was busy but not overwhelming. They had a cool fort area and crafts. Third floor was Big John the giant triceratops which was pretty cool to see. Overall we would definitely go back. It was about a 3 hour visit, probably could have done 4-5 if we let our son play as long as he wanted. Parking was about $7 for 4 hours. Great location and a good time in the AC out of FL heat.

This review is based on our experience during a visit. We’ve been to other Children’s Museums across the country, and decided to pay a visit to Glazer while in the Tampa area. I think is still a great place to go with kids. However, pick the right time. Our fault was visiting it during the Holiday season close to lunch time. It was packed! Super hard for children to play with a jamming place. On top of that, it felt overstimulating, especially for the little ones who have a hard time to focus on activities. The museum has two floors, accessible via stairs and elevators. There’s water activities, so bring a pair of extra tops and bottoms along. If you plan on staying for lunch, there’s a small cafeteria on the ground floor. Drivers, park your car at the public parking lot on the edge of the museum with a maximum of three hours per parking.

I went with my family and my coworker's family on a Wednesday afternoon. It was a little crowded due to summer children's groups out but otherwise it was nice. My 2 year old fell in love with the water area and didn't want to leave! I also thought that it was convenient that they had a nursing room there! My newborn was not dealing well with the noises but the room helped him feed in comfort. The Big John exhibit was pretty cool. It was a sight to see while there! I love how it has interactive activities to encourage the young mind to think and explore. I would definitely recommend for younger kids who want to learn how the world works. I also loved the Publix supermarket area and all the little dress up things they had there too!

My little ones absolutely love this children’s museum. From the 0-3 newborn/toddler area to the waterways exhibit and from the arts & crafts corner to the play pizza making area, and more, there is something for everyone. We especially appreciate the rotating exhibit space which keeps things fresh and the little cafe which provides several options to feed one’s hungry tykes. The place is kept very clean w/ hand sanitizing stations in front of every play section. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. And we love how at the end of the day, a staff member leads the kids in attendance for the day on a mini parade through the museum. If you either live in the Tampa area or are just visiting, we highly recommend this place for families, especially those with little ones.

We came on a Monday during June. It seems like THE place to go for Summer kids camps, so be prepared for crowds of relatively ordered chaos, and it worked well for our 5 y/o's. I don't know that I'd bring much older kids here. Pros: TONS of hands-on play spaces encouraging both open ended and progress related play. STEM, Arts, Crafts, & Agriculture. Outside, there are two fountains kids can play in (you run through them) and a large park adjacent to the museum and the canal to picnic or run in as well. Cons: gosh it was loud. They don't have a designated "quiet zone" yet, so we went up to the third level and took a break on a couch in the museum office.

This was a positive trip overall. We took our 1, 2, & 3 year old daughters here for the day & they had a great time. It was not only fun & educational for them, but it we had a great time as well! Depending on how you approach this trip as a parent, you can adjust the fun to educational scale however you'd prefer. You can make it all learning with minimal fun, all fun with little learning, 50/50 fun & learning, or whatever type of entertainment to education ratio you'd like to implement. I would definitely recommend this to all families out there. However you decide to plan this trip, you're just about guaranteed to enjoy it!

Awesome, fun day for my grandchildren ages 3,5 & 7. The climbing structure was the absolute favorite. Second came the building areas. The youngest loved the grocery store. The water area was a little weak because it had non-floating boats and a weak current. It takes up a lot of area and has a ton of potential. (For an example, look at the water area of the Portland, Maine Children's Museum. My granddaughter loved the craft area and interacting with staff member, Bri, who was very good with her. $18 each to enter, adults and kids. We were there for 5.5 hours.

I brought my 9 year old granddaughter for a fun day. Although she enjoyed it for about an hour, it is much more suited for younger children, which was not stated anywhere. In addition, I don’t understand why adults are charged $18.00 when there are no interactive activities for adults & children. To be honest I was very disappointed & will definitely not return. If you want your older kids to have a great time go to the park behind the museum by the water. My granddaughter absolutely loved it!

Awesome place. Kids loved playing in the Publix play area. Kid can just be kids and have fun. I do wish the party areas would be a little cleaner as far a parents making their kids put stuff back away. My kids, 2 other little girls and myself had to walk around the floor and pick almost every toy up off the ground just so they could play. Theater area was nice but my kids wouldn't even go in and go on stage because they didn't want to walk over all the clothes

Interactive fun for the whole family- This place is absolutely amazing! My family and I have gone to about 5 exhibits already within the last 2 years. It's aimed for young children and fun for the whole family. Both my four-year-old and two-year-old (as well as my husband) look forward to our adventures at Glaziers. They also participate in the "Museum's for All" program and have teacher discounts. This leaves for plenty of opportunity to attend no matter what your price range is.

This is fun Children's museum with lots of area to explore! Of our family favorites is to climb up the enclosed tree and leaf area. Something that was a surprise after seeing "Big John" the triceratops, they have this impressive screen that creates a dinosaur the way you or your child has colored it, it was impressive! Bring a change of clothes as there is a fountain our front our family wanted to run through.

My 7-year-old granddaughter enjoyed everything! The bottom floor had a water feature she played with for over an hour. "Big John," a fossilized Triceratops skeleton exhibit, (largest known Triceratops skeleton) on the third floor had interactive features. Tickets are required to view it at a specific time. There was a "grocery store," a fire station pole," and a "pizza restaurant," among other things.

Stongly suggested for children less than 10. I can imagine it will become very crowded during the height of summer break. Lots of interactive things for kids. We noticed more than a handful of things needed upkeep, both electric and non electric things. There should be more staff maintaining each section. Everything was clean but very cluttered.

I took my daughter here she immediately got overstimulated which they immediately provided me with sensory headphones which she took off once she calmed down. Staff was amazing and was so much to do.

This was my first visiting with my 6 year old and she loved this place. It is very hands on and interactive. There are displays for all ages to enjoy, so I thought that was great. Children can freely and safely enjoy themselves while using their imaginations and using their creative uniqueness. These were 4 hours well spent with my daughter. I will most certainly return. As an added bonus the art museum is right next door but that is for the next visit!

Awesome for kids. Basically a kid playground that is packed of things to learn. All hands on and my toddlers love it. Only a single (but big) elevator and 3 floors to explore. The Dino coming to life on screen was the highlight. There is public parking lots but a short walk from a few of the big hotels. Walked with a stroller which seemed easier than driving in traffic.

The glazer children's museum is a wonderful place for kids to play and use their imagination. I would recommend coming here for the whole day but it gets boring for adults pretty easily I wish they had more snack options for adults and maybe have a adult hang out area were adults can just sit. Not enough benches. Some areas were closed notvaure what that was about. Highly recommended for kids

This time we went, we noticed that a lot of exhibits were closed I’m assuming due to renovations, but we still had a blast. We parked in the Poe garage, and it was about $7 for 4 hours I believe.

My 6 yr old, 4 year old loved it!! So much to do. We went on a Saturday in April it was pretty busy but we never had to wait for anything. They had little activities throughout the day and it's stroller friendly. Even had a small area that my baby could enjoy. It's just two floors so it's smaller than ones I've gone to but so much fun.

Loved it and so did my 5 year old granddaughters. I had to constantly encourage them to move on to the next activity. Will definitely go again! I will say, the parking for the museum goes quickly.

Super fun place to visit for little ones but can get a bit pricey at $18 a person. Super fun, 3 stories with all kinds of interactive play. (Shopping center, Dr &Vet, Fire, water and sand play, dance party etc). They also lost the field trip forecast on their social media which is helpful to look up before you go.

I enjoyed everything. The kids had fun. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Especially the story telling and arts and craft. Lots of disinfecting due to covid-19. I felt safe. There is so much to do with them. We danced,played but most of all made great memories. Will visit again …

Good for toddlers and kids up to age 10 in my opinion. We spent 3 hours there and then headed to a pizza place to eat, then went to the splash pad and played a bit. It was a good day.

This is a great place for kids. Highly recommend! Not too pricey, food and entry fees are reasonable. And they only have 1 small stand to buy any souvenirs (also fairly reasonably priced), so your kids aren't asking to buy some item around every corner. We will be back.

A two story kids play museum that features a water play area, farm exhibit, fire station ( with a fire pole to slide down), craft area, vet, grocery store and more. Kids will be entertained for 2 plus hours! $12 per person, many discounts available.
