The St. Pete pier has beautiful outdoor space and views of the St. Petersburg skyline. It is family friendly with a splash pad and playground. There are also many restaurants to try on the pier and around Beach Drive.
This is Lindsey's favorite art museum in the Tampa Bay area. If you like fine arts, this would be a great (air conditioned) exhibit to walk through. This museum holds one of Lindsey's favorite Monet paintings and has a great little cafe for a pick-me-up after strolling through exhibits. (closed on Mondays)
We went here on one of our dates and it is just beautiful. It is a St. Petersburg staple, and full of lush and gorgeous flowers and water features. They also have flamingos! Sunken Gardens is also attached to Great Explorations, which is fun for kids!
Green Bench is a St. Pete staple, if you're looking for a drink and some FL sunshine, enjoy the outdoor area!
We love bagels, and Pete's is a great spot in St. Pete. They make their bagels in-house and have a fun menu to choose from as well!
