    When we first arrived, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. From the outside, it almost looked…read morelike a collection of warehouses covered in murals, and I wasn't immediately impressed. The moment we stepped inside, though, my opinion completely changed. The entrance is beautifully designed, with a cozy lounge area, a bright yellow chair, tiered seating filled with colorful artistic pillows, and so many creative details to admire. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member at the front desk, which made us feel welcome right away. The museum begins with a small contemporary art gallery and a stylish café/bar area. It has a very artistic atmosphere. It looked like the café is still being finished, as the bar wasn't fully set up yet, but I can already imagine how great it will be once completed. Even the restroom sinks caught my attention--they're a work of art on their own! Then the real adventure begins. Walking into the darker rooms filled with neon lights felt like stepping into another world. Every room is completely different and feels like its own immersive art installation. There are so many interactive spaces that encourage you to explore, play, and take your time. My younger daughter absolutely loved the room filled with giant strawberry desserts, while my older daughter couldn't get enough of the interactive gaming area. There is also a creative room where visitors can draw, and it was a huge hit with the kids. My favorite installation was a room designed to look like a small neighborhood shop where every single item was handmade from fabric by a group of five women. As someone who studied art and clothing design, including sewing, I know how much patience, precision, and skill goes into work like this. I found myself admiring every tiny detail, every perfectly sewn stitch, and all the incredible craftsmanship. It was truly inspiring, and I have so much respect for the artists who created it. The only downside was a very strong musty smell in parts of the museum. It was noticeable throughout our visit and took away a little from the overall experience. I hope it's something temporary that can be fixed, because this place is incredibly creative and deserves to be enjoyed without that distraction. FloridaRAMA is full of surprises. It may not look like much from the outside, but once you step through the doors, you enter a world of imagination, creativity, and pure art. We ended up spending much longer there than we expected, and both kids and adults had an amazing time. It's a fun, unique experience that's absolutely worth visiting if you're in St. Petersburg.

    What an amazing time at FloridaRAMA! I've visited St. Pete…read moremany times and have always meant to check this place out. So, when a friend suggested it, I knew we had to go. Check-in was simple and fast, and the staff couldn't have been sweeter or more helpful. The experience itself was so much fun! We had the best time navigating the exhibits and making our way through the maze or everything Florida, both old and new. Our absolute favorite spot was life-sized garden. The sheer creativity that the artists had to have to make this place come to life, was just fascinating. We also loved the gift shop on the way out; it features so many wonderful local artists, so of course, we had to pick up a few treats to take home. This place is truly a St. Pete treasure. It's a fun and memorable experience and you'll have loads of laughs and lots of silly selfies to look back on. Until the next time FloridaRama!!
