Glazer Children's Museum

Opened in 2010 on Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, the Glazer Children's Museum is 53,000 square feet of interactive, themed play zones aimed squarely at younger kids — water tables, a mock airport and vet clinic, climbing structures. Right on the Riverwalk beside the Tampa Museum of Art, it's the anchor of a very kid-friendly downtown stretch.

Weekday mornings or a rainy day — it's indoor, air-conditioned, and less mobbed midweek.

Pair it with the adjacent Curtis Hixon park and the Riverwalk — you can burn a whole low-cost family day on that one block.
