The holidays are hereĀ and the Friend’s Gift Shop, located in Weedon Island’s Cultural and Natural History Center, is a terrific place to find treasures for all. We’re steadily adding new items to further enhance our offerings and it’s just about a given that you’ll find something for that otherwise hard-to-please recipient on your holiday list.

You can also feel really good about your purchase: all profits are returnedĀ to the Preserve and Center, helping toĀ preserve and protect itsĀ habitat and cultural treasuresĀ and provide educational experiences for children and adults.

And, while you’re visiting, pick up a Friends membership brochure at the front desk. In fact, why not make membership a holiday present to yourself and your family today. Individual memberships are only $15 a year with family memberships at $25. Best of all, your membership is yet another way to celebrate and reward this unique property in the heart of St. Petersburg.
