Great Explorations Children’s Museum (formerly Great Explorations – The Hands-On Museum) is a children’s museum, program center, and pre-school in St Petersburg, Florida, USA. It was founded in 1986 by The Junior League of St. Petersburg and Hands-On, IncGreat Explorations – The Hands-On Museum was formerly housed in a warehouse type location in Downtown St. Petersburg with similar building architecture to the Salvador Dalí Museum and P. Buckley Moss Museum. Its parking lot featured a to-scale replica of a Tyrannosaurus rex made entirely out of recycled scrap metal. Inside, the exhibits were divided into large, themed rooms with individual rooms being devoted to sight, sound, or touch exhibits. The touch room featured one of the more unique exhibits, the “Touch Tunnel.” This 90-foot-long (27 m), completely blacked out tunnel encouraged children to navigate the fun house-like path using only their sense of touch. www.greatex.org/
