Cracker Country

"I absolutely LOVED this museum. I'm a native Floridian, and I already knew a lot of the information. It was spot on with growing up in the country and the history. They incorporate activities to keep the tour interactive. On our specific tour, we made rope, candles, and butter. The butter was so good, we tried it on saltines. Yummy! We did get to take our rope and candle home with us. I loved the buildings we went in, I do wish we got to check out more buildings. I know each tour has to be timed, and maybe they are different when it's not a school field trip. My only complaint is that I wish I could have seen more and learned more. I'd even be happy to be able to explore other buildings on my own. Maybe offer this as an option for adults only? It's just so awesome, and so are your tour guides. They're very knowledgeable and very approachable. I recommend this museum to EVERYONE, who moves here and visits. If you're a Florida resident, you should have been at some point. 10/10."

"Great place to visit in the Tampa area, and it is a family venue. The staff is great and is a good opportunity to see old florida."

"Great place! If you are in town, take a moment to go back in time by visiting Cracker Country Tampa, Great staff, and the historic building are just great."

"Spectacular living history museum. Focus is on school field trips by reservation, but also frequent public options during the year including Museum Day (FREE), Tall Tales (Oct 21), Christmas in the Country (Dec 9) and of course every day of the Florida State Fair in February. Come see historic 19th century buildings from all over Florida, learn what frontier life was like in the 1800's, and meet authentically-dressed friendly and knowledgeable docents who can enlighten and answer your questions."
