Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.3 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of St. Petersburg instead of crossing town between them. Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Florida CraftArt — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to adults, friends, solo, and couples who want a planned St. Petersburg outing without improvising between stops.
