When the Glazer Children's Museum holds its Grand Opening this Saturday, September 25, it will herald the completion of the revitalized Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in downtown Tampa. The not-for-profit museum is intended as an educational and cultural resource where children can "play, discover,  and connect to the world around them to develop as lifelong learners and leaders", according to the museum's press release.

The release explains, "the new 53,000 square foot museum will provide a safe and playful environment where children and adults can learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them through exploration, role-playing and direct experience. The highly interactive museum will include 12 themed galleries and 170 “hands-on, minds-on” exhibits for children aged birth to around ten. A combination of permanent and traveling exhibits, comprehensive year round programs and special events will provide children, parents, caregivers and teachers a rich and ever-changing environment for playful learning."
