Holiday Classics Coming To Tampa Theatre

Get into the holiday mood by enjoying a classic film at the Tampa theater.

The Tampa Theater is one of my favorite places to watch a movie. It’s magical even when we’re not in the midst of the holiday season. I describe Tampa Theatre to those who haven’t been as a Haunted Mansion at Disney World attraction meets twinkly planetarium or meets Mexico at Epcot. That’s the vibe.

Imagine what it will be like enjoying Tampa Theatre and enjoying downtown Tampa in late November and December. The lights, the weather and the action will all contribute to the atmosphere.

What holiday films will you be able to enjoy? On November 26, you can watch Miracle on 34th Street. It’s showing at 3 P.M. On Sunday, December 3 check out National Lampoons Christmas Vacation at 3 P.M. That is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. Nothing says Christmas like the Griswold's. And who doesn’t need laughs during the holiday season?

The Grinch is also a classic and a favorite. I’m talking about the 2018 version. That will air on Sunday, December 10 at 3 P.M.

It’s a Wonderful Life is showing at various times and running December 15 through the 21. White Christmas airs Sunday, December 24 at 3 P.M. A lovely way to spend Christmas Eve.

And after Christmas, there will be special showings, as well. On Sunday, December 31, watch RENT at 3 P.M. And on Sunday, January 7, Frozen is showing at 3 P.M.

Have you been to the Glazer Children's Museum in downtown Tampa?

This is one of my kids' FAVORITE things to do. As the weather gets warmer around Tampa Bay, you'll might be looking for indoor activities and excursions. I promise you...you and your little ones will have an incredible time at the Glazer Children's Museum.

For the first time this past weekend, my daughters tried out the mock Klystron 9 weather anchor desk. It was so funny because they were with their aunts, and the aunties took photos of them at the mock weather anchor desk and doing "breaking news" so I sent them a photo of me back in the day actually anchoring on Bay News 9 when I covered sports. And my girls saw the photo, but they don't get it. They were like, "Oh cool. Mom went to the Children's Museum when she was younger."

My daughters LOVE to do some grocery shopping at the Publix grocery story exhibit at the museum. My older daughter is also quite the organizer. She stocked and organized some of the shelves last time she was there.

The Glazer Children's Museum has a variety of exhibits. They've got everything from pretend Pizza Shops to Farms so that kids can learn where food comes from. It really is exciting to watch your child react to the exhibit, knowing they are having such a good time and learning, as well. The museum sparks curiosity and creativity in children and adults.

We like to visit various children's museums around the country. The one in Chicago is pretty amazing, but aside from the Chicago Children's Museum, we can't find any better than the Glazer Children's Museum.
