Step Into Florida’s Wildest Immersive Art Experience

Welcome to FloridaRAMA, the premier indoor immersive art attraction in the Tampa Bay region. Part contemporary art museum, part digital playground, and part escape room, this highly interactive venue brings the weird, wacky, and wonderful stories of the Sunshine State to life.

About FloridaRAMA

Spanning a multi-room exhibition space inside St. Pete’s Warehouse Arts District, FloridaRAMA features hands-on installations built by more than 80 local and international artists. Unlike traditional galleries, this family-friendly experience invites you to touch, play, and explore. From a psychedelic motel room to story-driven scavenger hunts, sensory elements of sound, light, and scent reveal hidden storylines at every turn.

Why Experience FloridaRAMA?

100% Touch-Friendly, Interactive Art: Forget the standard museum rule of "look but don't touch." Every corridor, installation, and hidden room is designed for active manipulation, tactile exploration, and high-density photo opportunities.

Built by Over 80 Local and Global Artists: Walk through an authentic cultural hub. The venue features distinct, interconnected spaces built by a massive collective of artists, offering everything from large-scale neon installations to intricately detailed, miniature Florida-themed dioramas.

Gamified Scavenger Hunts: Turn your visit into a live-action game. Guests can choose to opt-into immersive scavenger hunts and story-driven puzzles—like hunting for hidden gators or solving the mystery of the missing guests inside the whimsical Mermaid Star Motel.

Fully Accessible and Sensory-Friendly: The climate-controlled indoor venue is 100% wheelchair and stroller accessible. It features dedicated quiet zones and sensory bags equipped with noise-reducing headphones to ensure an enjoyable, stress-free experience for guests of all physical fitness levels and sensory profiles.

Know Before You Go: Essential Tips for Your Visit

Book Timed-Entry Tickets in Advance: Admission is managed through strict, timed-entry time slots to prevent overcrowding. Purchasing tickets online ahead of time guarantees your entry window, as popular weekend slots frequently sell out.

Average Dwell Time is 60 to 90 Minutes: Expect to spend roughly an hour to an hour and a half exploring the multi-room installations. Because the final daily entry slot is scheduled exactly one hour before closing, booking earlier in the day is highly recommended for full access.

100% Interactive and Touch-Friendly: Unlike traditional museums, visitors are actively encouraged to touch, play, and interact with the physical installations. It is a highly sensory environment designed for hands-on exploration.

Perfect for Photography and Social Media: Cameras and smartphones are welcome throughout the venue. The artistic lighting and surreal, large-scale dioramas offer highly unique photo opportunities, though professional commercial shoots require advance written permission.

Wear Comfortable Walking Shoes: You will be moving through a sequence of interconnected indoor spaces and distinct rooms. Comfortable footwear is recommended to comfortably navigate the exhibits and the broader campus at The Factory St. Pete.

Climate-Controlled Indoor Environment: The entire exhibition space is fully air-conditioned, making it an excellent all-weather activity for escaping rainy afternoons or hot summer days in the Tampa Bay region.

No Large Bags or Outside Food Permitted: To protect the integrity of the artwork, large backpacks, oversized bags, and outside food or drinks are not allowed inside the main exhibition area. Food and beverages must be enjoyed at the vendors located outside in the complex.
