Try a family excursion to a marine aquarium—there's 1 to the north in Clearwater and another across the bay in Tampa. Heritage Village in Largo is a living museum of local history, and museums of art, history, and culture are sprinkled around the metro area, including a notable venue for Salvador Dali's surrealist art.
