FloridaRAMA

Omg this place is so fun! Admission was free in the month of July for Dalí Museum members, bonus! Great place to bring visiting friends/family. We didn’t do the scavenger hunt or the putt putt this time, but even just walking through is a fun time. There’s also a very cool gift shop featuring local artists and a large record shop adjacent. The staff is also SO friendly and nice - we can’t wait to go back!

Loved all the colors and creativity 🤩 What a great way to put everyday items like spoons to such a beautiful use. I love that there’s seating throughout the exhibits so that you can seat and take everything in. My favorite room has to be the one with the spoons. It feels like you’re inside a disco ball!

At first, I wasn’t impressed when we arrived. From the outside, it looked like a few warehouses covered in murals, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the moment we walked through the doors, my opinion completely changed. The entrance is beautiful, with a cozy lounge area, a bright yellow chair, tiered seating filled with artistic pillows, and lots of creative details. The staff at the front desk was very welcoming and friendly. The museum starts with a small contemporary art gallery and a stylish café/bar area. It looks like the café is still being finished, but the space already has a great artistic atmosphere. Even the sinks in the restrooms are unique and worth noticing. The rest of the museum is an immersive journey through a world of imagination. Every room has its own theme, with incredible lighting, interactive exhibits, and amazing attention to detail. My younger daughter loved the giant strawberry dessert room, while my older daughter enjoyed the interactive games and the glow-in-the-dark drawing room. The pirate ship play area was another favorite for the kids. My personal favorite was the handmade shop installation. Every item in the room was sewn by hand by a group of five women. As someone who studied art and clothing design, including sewing, I truly appreciated the craftsmanship. The amount of time, patience, and talent behind that installation is incredible. Every stitch was beautifully done, and I could tell how much love went into creating it. The only downside was a strong musty smell in some parts of the museum. It was noticeable during our visit and slightly affected the overall experience. I hope it’s something that can be improved because this place is incredibly creative and deserves to be enjoyed to the fullest. Overall, FloridaRAMA was a wonderful surprise. It’s a unique place where both children and adults can explore, play, and experience art in a completely different way. We spent much more time there than we expected and would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in St. Petersburg.

Absolute blast!! The add-on packages give you more to look for, but the simple bingo throughout is set to keep you engaged the entire time! Art that utilizes every sense, and brings anyone back to the child they are at heart! Incredible space with creativity oozing from the walls!
