Great Explorations Children's Museum in downtown St. Petersburg excels at mixing learning with play, teaching young children about life in fun ways.
At Great Ex, even a trip to the dentist can be a good time.
A brand new exhibit, "The Smile Spot," is a clever, highly interactive, fun zone where kids can enjoy a tear-free visit to a dentist's office. The patients are manatees and crocodiles, and the kids do the procedures.
Clean a molar, floss a giant mouth — even visit the Tooth Fairy!
The Smile Spot, which is right next to the museum's epic grocery store experience, is included with the price of admission.
