For those interested in art, there is the Tampa Museum of Art and the USF Contemporary Art Museum. If it's area history and lore you seek, the Tampa Bay History Center and Henry B. Plant Museum are among the stops you'll want to make.

Inspired by the 1950s American diner, the Muvico Starlight 20 Theater in Tampa Palms treats moviegoers to a highly themed environment and amenities like a children's play room and a lobby video arcade. To reach the box office, which was designed as a giant 1950s-era radio, patrons walk across pavement with a green-and-rose checkered tablecloth pattern. Kiosks flanking the box office resemble diner jukeboxes, and seats behind it integrate the tail fins of 1950s autos. A second-story mock highway overpass winds along the walls through the interior. The centerpiece concession area, called the Hot Diner, is set against a night-sky backdrop and bounded by imitation gas pumps.
