Tall Tales of Old Florida

Tall Tales of Old Florida

Explore Tampa’s 19th century living history museum by night. Along the way, meet storytellers who will spin wild yarns about a few of Florida’s unexplained oddities!

A little scary, a little funny and always family friendly, the Tall Tales tour is a Florida history adventure by lantern light.

A guide will greet you at the gate and lead you through historic structures and grounds by lantern light.

Along the tour, your guide will introduce you to storytellers who will share some of Florida’s wildest yarns about skunk apes, misbehaving trains, cow hunting giants, and more. Are these strange accounts history or fantasy? You decide!

Enjoy seasonal decorations and Victorian games while waiting for your tour to begin. After your tour, enjoy a snack (included with your admissions ticket) and a visit to the General Store for historical toys, games, candy and other unique items. Proceeds from sales in the General Store help support Cracker Country's field trip programs.

*Advance ticket purchase required- this is a trendy event with limited tickets. Tickets are only available online. All ticket sales are final.
