====Children's Museum====
The Children's Museum of Tampa opened in 1986. It was created in response to the need for informal cultural and learning environment for the need of young children. It has since grown into a Larger location in Downtown Tampa next to the Tampa Museum of Art and Curtis Hixon Park. This location opened in September 2010 and was renamed Glazer Children's Museum in honor of the Glazer Family Foundation that donated $5 million to the construction of the new building.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://glazermuseum.org/history |title=History |work=Glazer Children's Museum |access-date=April 1, 2018 |archive-date=April 2, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180402035610/https://glazermuseum.org/history |url-status=live }}</ref>
