Excellent

The Straz Center has five theaters, a rehearsal hall and a beautiful riverfront walkway. It is also an important performing arts center in downtown Tampa. In 2018, it was renovated at a high cost, so now the decoration of each exhibition hall in the entire art center is unique. From Broadway tours, large-scale operas, jazz concerts, performing arts and free movie series on the lawn, you can watch them here. Next to the art center is a large lawn with beautiful scenery. It covers an area of ​​9 acres. It is also the second largest performing arts complex in the southeastern United States. The Straz Center for the Performing Arts opened to the public in July 1987 and was later renamed in 2009 to thank David A. Straz Jr. for his donation. The venue was renamed The David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, which is also the largest personal charitable donation received by Tampa's cultural institutions. Standing in front of the art center building, you can overlook the riverside scenery. There are not many tourists here, and the whole park feels very quiet and comfortable.
