Frost Science Museum
Part of the massive downtown complex at Museum Park, this tri-level natural light and solar-powered homage to high-tech science and tech, is a place to marvel at many things, including the human body and mind, flight, and the frontier of innovation and technology. Its cone-shaped, three-level aquarium takes you through South Florida’s various, vibrant ecosystems, featuring a colorful collection of coral reefs, fish, devil rays, and hammerhead sharks. The best views of all come from a 31-foot-oculus lens that forms the bottom of the aquarium from which you can view the same sharks you saw at eye level swimming overhead. Those who dare can touch stingrays. A cutting-edge, 250-seat planetarium offers other-worldly views of space, a coral reef or a DNA strand. The Power of Science exhibit takes you on a trippy journey through the leading frontiers of scientific exploration, where bacteria transform Martian rock into 3D printed homes and innovative marine infrastructure encourages coral regeneration. The Feathers to the Stars exhibit covers the story of flight, from dinosaurs to spacecraft, and the meLab features all sorts of fun, interactive games and hands-on exhibits, and even an AI mirror to help understand the marvels of being human. The Food@Science café is a great place to recharge with al fresco seating, Starbucks, artisan pastries, farm-to-table foods, beer and wine.
Warning: Because this is an uber-popular attraction, pricing here is much like, well, Uber, and there are surges based on dates, times, and season. That's why we list both base and peak pricing.
