our newest traveling exhibit, Coffee: The World in Your Cup.
Little sprouts and their families soak up the fun as we
celebrate our newest exhibit, Coffee: The World in Your Cup and Tampa Bay Veg
Fest in the park. Paint with coffee, plant seeds in your own unique recycled

characters of Tampa’s past. Ghoulish games, creepy crafts, and a costume
contest for fantastic prizes await you. Don’t forget your candy bags!
