Parking was $10, (all day parking), however parking is limited. There was a graduation at the theater next door and a boat show, we got lucky and got one of the last spots. They were asking folks to park just two blocks away. There are docent tours every hour 12:30, 130… check before you go and do go, fascinating! So knowledgeable and polite. There is a Dalí Cafe, delicious (limited indoor seating but worth the wait). I don’t normally enjoy museum cafes but this one had very tasty food (we had the cheese plate, bread plate and carrot hummus, plus coffee and tea. The is a decent selection of Dali photos, paintings and information and you can go online to learn more. I would go back again since our friend is not much of a reader and is more of a quick browser. I would like to spend a bit more time and perhaps go on another docent tour. Go, enjoy and try the cafe, too!

Always a winning choice. In addition to their permanent Dali exhibit. They always have a touring program. Right now it's Monet and Degas. So well done. They also have a 360 degree immersion in the round that is worth the extra cost. Don't miss it. Their hidden gem is the cafe. Sit at the counter and watch the action.. Delicious food at reasonable prices.

If you have any interest in art or find yourself in St. Petersburg, you should come to this striking museum. While there are some works from other artists (including at present some Impressionist works from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts), this museum focuses on the life and work of Salvador Dali. Even if you are not familiar with art generally, you have almost certainly seen his iconic surreal art with melted watches, impossible scenery, etc. They have cleverly matched the architecture to the art. As the photos suggest, while the layout is not surreal, it is very whimsical and creative. While there are multiple levels, Dali's own art is in about 10 galleries on one floor. The rest is exhibit space and used for other purposes. A lot of Dali's art becomes much more understandable with some guidance and explanation. They do have docents and an app. I've been here twice and can echo the comments made by another commentator below that they need smaller groups as it was often difficult to hear the docent or even get close to the work while he was speaking. They have an app you should download, but while it can be helpful it stops short of the kind of helpful explanation that would tell you why, for example, the enormous painting of Columbus reaching America depicts him as roughly 19 years old and has multiple repeat semi-nudes of his image. The gift shop is great, with books and unusual items galore. The parking is in an adjacent lot and costs $10. Having said all of that, we would highly recommend coming here with the understanding that you might have to look up some works to figure out what Dali was thinking and trying to say.

Exceeded expectations. I had always liked Dali’s work but had no idea how varied and talented he was. This museum really showcases his talent. Definitely recommend a visit. You won’t forget it.

The Dali Museum is a must-do when you are in St. Petersburg! I learned a lot about the artist and his work. The addition of the augmented reality for some of the art is definitely high on the cool factor! Whether or not you like the artist, you are compelled to view his art and see the details and just gaze with wonder at how his brain made these pieces happen! I wish the immersive experience in the dome was included in the entry price, but otherwise totally worth it!

Upon entering the museum there's a cafe and the museum gift shop. Outside is where the garden area is. In the garden there are sculptures which were ideas Dalí conceived and sculptures made from Bronze after his passing. There's also his famous mustache statue there. There's also Dalí dome for an extra fee. They will check purses. There are also free lockers for your belongings. To get to the exhibits you walk up the spiral staircase and you can view his permanent collection and the special exhibitions area. Parking is $10.

Mindblowing experience. The Dome is definitely worth the extra. Got a much better understanding of Dali and his work. The Cafe Gala is a must. The food is gorgeous and the scones are the best I've ever tasted.

Wish we would have known our online tickets didn't actually mean the only hour we could enter. We sat in our car for an hour waiting till our time to enter which only meant the 360 movie show time. Who knew! Once inside the building is beautiful in itself. The art and getting so up close and personal was such a nice experience. Getting to see the brush strokes was amazing and learning more about Dali life was really nice. We love Dali have a few of his paintings hanging in our house.

Wow do I ever love this place! Saw amazing Dalí-only gallery, & saw Dalí among the Impressionists. Beautiful original pieces, presented in several user-friendly ways. I enjoyed the 360 experience, but my friend didn't. Also couldn't get the selfie with Dalí to come out right. But the entire place was amazing & I highly recommend it if you want to see some amazing paintings & sculptures. Pro tip: Download the app for some neat interactive bonuses. I can't wait to go back!

Gorgeous, unusual building. The museum, devoted to Dali, has a great, small collection of Impressionists, such as Renoir. The focus is on how the Impressionists influenced Dali. The museum would be heaven for a Dali fan. Found out after touring that Dali isn't my personal favorite.
