Reviews
Nice little museum hosting an interesting mix of history mostly St Petersburg and Florida. It has over 5000 signed baseballs, the full size replica of the Jannus boat plane and an actual Egyptian mummy with an interesting story of acquisition.
Overall disappointing. A good amount of baseball history and some history about the 7 miles of parks along the seashore. The Ariel history was not impressive. Overall we expected a lot more. Young man in front was nice. Paid half the price due to renovation, at least we felt good donating some money for future improvement.
Very enjoyable and educational. I was totally IMPRESSED with the African American information the had on display. Also if you're a baseball fan, you will love that section as well!
I love culture, history, and knowledge of the past. The employee that was on site the day of my visit was very welcoming. I have recommended the museum to others in conversation but also on my social media pages.
Very good museum featuring 5000 signed baseballs by athletes and celebrities. There is also a exhibit on the civil rights movement as well as historic artifacts including an the contents of an old drug store.
It's a small museum that doesn't take too much time. I think we were expecting more history of Saint Pete and there wasn't much of that. We got in free with NARM membership but if we had to pay I don't feel it would have been worth the money. There was a baseball section that wasn't related to Saint Pete but if you like baseball that may be good and a large section on Civil Rights in Florida. Other than those two areas it was lacking. We were expecting something like the Tampa History Museum which is great.
We had the most amazing wedding reception at the museum after a beautiful ceremony in South Straub Park. Lindsay was so sweet to work with and she worked with our day-of coordinator to ensure we had the MOST PERFECT day, better than I could …
Wow!!! What a great museum, the exhibits outstanding!!! My husband favorite was the baseball exhibit. Definitely a must see and visit if in town.
