Glazer Children’s Museum, Children's museum in downtown Tampa, United States.

Glazer Children's Museum occupies a 53,000-square-foot building in downtown Tampa, next to the Tampa Museum of Art and Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park along the Tampa Riverwalk. It opened on September 25, 2010, after a $22 million capital campaign, and is named for the Glazer Family Foundation, which donated $5 million. Inside, interactive exhibits fill several themed areas, occasionally supplemented by traveling exhibitions.

The museum grew out of an earlier children's education project that operated in a different part of Tampa before moving to its current downtown building in the early 2010s. The new location gave it more space and placed it in a part of the city that was already drawing new investment and visitors.

The museum sits along the Tampa Riverwalk, a waterfront path that connects parks, restaurants, and open spaces in the heart of downtown. Many families treat a visit here as part of a longer day out along the river, moving between the museum and nearby outdoor spots.

The museum is in the heart of downtown Tampa, within walking distance of the Riverwalk and other central spots, so it fits naturally into a day exploring the area. Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends, especially during school holidays.

One of the exhibit areas focuses on paleontology and features a real fossil specimen that children can examine up close, not just look at behind glass. This makes it one of the few children's museums in Florida to incorporate actual fossil material into a play-based setting.
