Great Explorations Children's Museum: Play-Based STEAM Discovery & Touch Tunnel

About this adventure

Located adjacent to historic Sunken Gardens on 4th Street North in St. Petersburg, Great Explorations Children's Museum is Pinellas County's premier hands-on STEAM exploration center for children ages 1 to 10. The museum's signature attraction is the legendary 100-foot Touch Tunnel, an exhilarating pitch-black sensory crawl labyrinth where kids navigate through twists and turns using only touch and hearing. Other interactive zones include Great Beginnings (a safe, padded toddler town with sensory climbing structures), Morris' Market grocery store, a miniature veterinary emergency hospital, a working WTEN television news broadcast booth, and the Express Yourself art workshop with daily guided painting and craft projects. Designed with safety in mind, the single-entrance facility features family restrooms, nursing alcoves, and convenient free parking.
