The Tampa area is home to a wide variety of cultural landmarks and must-see buildings. However, none are as iconic as the Tampa Theatre, a nonprofit movie palace that hosts events ranging from classic movie screenings to concerts and spoken-word shows. The fall and winter season is a busy one for the Tampa Theatre, with several big-ticket events coming up.

If you want to get a special look at the architecture and history of the Tampa Theatre, the Balcony to Backstage Tour is a perfect option. The tour is offered on select Tuesdays and Saturdays through November and runs for 90 minutes, taking participants through the lobby of the magnificent space and all the way through to the historic backstage area. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children ages 2 to 12.
