Museum of Discovery and Science
A swell example of a science museum that successfully leverages high tech and interactivity to make science fun for kids—and just as engaging for grownups—starting with a funky, 52-foot “kinetic-energy” sculpture out front called the “Great Gravity Clock.” One of the highlights here is the Florida Ecoscapes exhibit which delves into the science behind living coral reef, bees, bats, frogs, turtles, and alligators. Especially popular is the To Fly exhibit, where visitors can find out what it feels like to soar the open skies in the cockpits of history-making aircraft, and explore the red landscapes of Mars. When my daughter was around 4, she “landed a plane” here magnificently and still talks about it.
