More than a store, more than a museum – it's the heartbeat of our park.

We believe Tuscawilla Park is a treasure, and we're here to help you experience it to the fullest. We envisioned a central hub where visitors could easily grab necessities, relax and enjoy the surroundings, engage with culture, and connect with the community. That's why we created The Heart of the Park – a place offering a corner store, a scenic deck, rotating museum exhibits, and daily programs. Our goal is to extend your stay, enrich your day, and make every moment in the park more memorable.
