Guests to the Tampa Bay History Center, 801 Old Water St. in downtown Tampa, will not have to pay for parking thanks to a partnership between the History Center and the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Museum visitors paying for gallery entry will receive a parking token if they park in the Tampa Bay Times Forum East Lot, located directly adjacent to the History Center. The change went into effect on Oct. 1.
