Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in St. Petersburg, Florida (FL)

May 3, 2022 Hector Krause

The sun almost always shines on St. Petersburg, the "Sunshine City" that enjoys an average of 361 days of clear skies per year. Combine that with 244 miles of glimmering coastline along Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, Boca Ciega Bay and the intra coastal waterways and you have one hot beach destination. Catch the sun, surf and sand at Ft. De Soto Park, or take a hike up the 37-mile Pinellas Trail. Enjoy a Devil Rays game during baseball season or escape to the shady oasis of the Sunken Gardens.

Reviewed By SusanaW1979GU - St. Pete Beach, United States

Visitors from DC complimented the newest museum addition to St. Petersburg The James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art. From the striated limestone and copper panels distinguishing the exterior structure to the ‘arroyo’ entrance to the carved granite waterfall, they were astonished by the architecture evocative of the American West. The collection of sculpture and paintings is a lesson in history as well as art. Highly recommended

It was my son's 13th birthday, he and 5 friends did Disarm by themselves, and could not have had more fun! (Finished with seconds left to spare) Brandon was their guide and he was amazing!!! It could've been quite a challenge to manage 6 teenagers, but he handled everything with such fun and enthusiasm, the kids are already asking when they can go back! Thank you for an excellent birthday adventure

We took our 2-year-old granddaughter here and she loved every minute! From loading a cart and checking out in the supermarket to the fire engine to the stack of 'surfboards' to climb on in the middle of the museum, she had a blast! Every time we turned around there was something new to discover, so we will definitely be back! Check out Groupon for great deals on admission.

When I visit my sister in St. Petersburg, Saturday morning market day at the beautiful downtown farmers market is always a must to do! There is always such an abundance of fresh beautiful produce that it’s hard to not overbuy! With the live music, lots of food vendors, and artisan booths, one could spend the whole morning eating, browsing and enjoying the music on a beautiful day in downtown St. Pete. There are lots of inexpensive parking garages close by!
