I went to the oddities exhibit and it was so much fun. Parking was a little tight, but we also arrived after the event started. We did find some really cool things like the pictures below, and this was a really great backdrop for my pup.

Visited here on 3/7/2026 for the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair. It was well organized but the A/C was fighting for its life and I was too lol. It was pretty stifling inside but otherwise we enjoyed visiting. If you come here, bring a fan though!

A New Year's Eve to remember at the St Petersburg Coliseum for a 1950's Thened Swing Dance. The dancing was great. The music wore you out because it was nice to dance to. The Coliseum is a Really Fantastic Esthetically Wonderful. Very clean and a rich history. They have so many events, so check your calendar for one that matches your taste or desire. You will not be disappointed. r......

We went for MLW wrestling and the staff was wonderful. They directed us in quickly and the place was very clean. The bathrooms were maintained while we were there. They had food on site and had vendors around for merchandise. The seats were clearly marked and easy to figure out. Would definitely go back for future events.
