Things to do in Saint Petersburg
This is my city! I love the downtown vibe and all the amazing things we have to offer. Here's a pretty extensive list of things to do. This does not include the beach activities.
When architect Yann Weymouth designed the building to house Dali Museum, he offered the great artist his own tribute. He created a piece of art that combines the fantastical with rational, a combination reminiscent of Dali’s paintings. The piece features a simple square box out of which blooms a large geodesic glass bubble. The museum has the largest collection of Dali’s works in the US with 96 oil paintings, original drawings, book works, sculptures, and prints that encompass Salvador Dali’s entire career. The museum opened in 2011 with the core collection from Reynolds and Eleanor Morse, and many works were added later on. The Dali Museum is one of the best St. Petersburg attractions. It plays an important role in the cultural life of the community, inspiring and delighting visitors with great artist’s masterpieces and hosting a range of events and programs.

The St. Petersburg Museum of History is the oldest museum in Pinellas County, and it started its life as the St. Petersburg Memorial Historical Society, which was founded in 1921. Mary Wheeler Eaton led the society members, who started collecting historic artifacts, natural history items, original documents, rare photographs, papers, and all kinds of other items that appeared relevant. Their persistence paid off, and in 1922, the society became a museum, moved to the old aquarium building at the same location as today’s museum building, and opened its doors to the public. Visit the museum to learn about the history of St. Petersburg through exhibits and stories about Orange Belt Railroad, Women’s Town Improvement League, the inaugural season of the Rays, the first commercial airline, and much more. The museum also hosts many temporary exhibits, events, and popular activities.

Florida CraftArt is a labor of love from Louis and Elsa Freund, both professors at Stetson University in Deland. They wanted to elevate fine craft into an art form and in 1951 started organizing workshops, conferences, and annual exhibitions with local and other American craftsmen. In 1995, they first rented and then bought the old Rutland Dept. store and converted it into a large retail gallery on one floor and exhibition gallery on the second floor. The establishment also has a classroom and 18 artists’ studios. The gallery and the store are great places to make purchases and add to your art collection or a very special gift. You will find a wonderful selection of original fine jewelry, glass, clay, ornaments, and other kinds of crafts created by some of the most talented artisans in Florida.

3 Daughters Brewing has a long history that started in 1888 in Lexington Kentucky. The first family brewer Wilhelm Harting started the Liugart & Harting brewery, and his progeny followed suit 150 years later in St. Petersburg. All that is left from the original brewery is one brick, now a part of the wall in the 3DB tap room bar, but the legacy of making great, innovative, and bold beer remained. 3 Daughters is the largest craft brewery in St. Pete, and beer lovers can take a tour of their 30bbl brew house while brewers are at work. Alternatively, they can head to their very popular taproom to sample some of their award-winning beers such as Beach Blonde Ale or limited reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Porter.

Usually, walking is the best way to discover any new city. But, what if you could be just as close to everything that is going on without having the sore muscles to show for it? A Segway is an electrically powered vehicle like a powered skateboard but with much better balance. St. Petersburg Segway Tours will put you on a Segway, offering you a chance to be a kid again, and take a two-hour tour of the city, going where no bigger vehicles can go without having to move a muscle. You will see the Pier, famous Vinoy Park Hotel, Dali Museum, and many of the city’s secret nooks and crannies tourists normally do not get to see. Segways are safe and suitable for anyone over the age of 11 and for any state of fitness.
