We were taken here by friends who live in Florida but who had not visited this Museum before. The place is very interesting from a number of perspectives and very well maintained and managed , with very helpful staff . Access can also be gained onto the campus of the University of Tampa which partly use the original hotel building... More

While the Plant Museum is open and very fantastic all year round, I wanted to particularly review the Victorian Christmas Stroll which gets set up every year at Christmastime. It is a beautiful vignette into what life was like back then, particularly as it relates to Christmastime. It is interesting to see what was important then and how that has... More

Beautiful Verando to sit out on and enjoy drings and cookies. Wonderful Museum with lots of interesting details about the Tampa area and Florida. Also very Beautiful at Christmas time - all decorated and lit up for the holidays!

The Henry Plant Museum is a step back into the past of a Tampa that was finding its early footing as an American city.

Located on beautiful University of Tampa's campus in downtown Tampa. It was like stepping back into time...The hotel in it's heyday must have been stupendous. It currently is beautiful, although not much is left of the interior of the hotel. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something fun for a few hrs.

They have decorated trees, carolers, punch and the beauty of an historical hotel. It is a great place to visit even in February when old fashioned Valentines are displayed.

This wonderful museum is the old Tampa Bay hotel and the architecture is unbelievible. Not the kind of place you see everyday. Today it is part of Tampa College. It's a terrific piece of history and an insight to railroads and the cigar industry. Make it one of your stops while you are in Tampa.
