I’ve taken advantage of this deal so far with the The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, Florida Holocaust Museum, Tampa Museum of Art, and the Florida Aquarium.
IMO – The Florida Aquarium is the winner out of all the Florida “Museums On Us” museums — the facility is stunning, rather expensive to get into otherwise and located in smack dab downtown Tampa, giving opportunity to double or triple up on a day long adventure there. Yup, I say this even though I clearly have not been to every place on the list…yet.
Some places you will still have to pay for parking. For more info and for the entire Museums On Us lineup for the entire country, click here.
