As a gift to all mothers, free admission is being offered to the Henry B. Plant Museum on Mother’s Day, Sunday (May 13).

Explore the Moorish architecture, opulent furnishings, and spectacular tropical gardens of the old Tampa Bay Hotel.

The museum opens at noon on Sunday and closes at 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $7 for students and $5 for children 4 - 12 years.

At 2 p.m., Upstairs/Downstairs at the Tampa Bay Hotel will feature Edith Roosevelt, guest and first lady, 1901. The 30-minute live theater performance will feature Edith Roosevelt’s visit at the Tampa Bay Hotel in 1898. Her husband, Lt. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, was in town with his famous Rough Riders waiting for word to leave for Cuba and fight in the Spanish-American War. Upstairs/Downstairs is also complimentary with regular admission to the museum.

Henry B. Plant Museum is located next to downtown, on The University of Tampa campus at 401 W. Kennedy Blvd. For information visit plantmuseum.com. Parking is free in front of the museum or in the Thomas Parking Garage.
