Top 5 Science Museums in Florida

82990 Overseas Hwy, Islamorada, FL 33036, United States

“Pros - Saturday afternoon stilly plenty of parking - Friendly They have scavenger hunt for kids. - nice gift shop Lots of interesting books and souvenirs. Cons - Pricing for Adults: $15 is acceptable, but Children 6-11: $7 is a bit too much. - air circulation is bad. an old dusty smell full of the room. —————— We bought ticket at the entrance. As a diver we find it enjoyable to know the history of diving. The entire room is not spacious. It’s not too crowded, only one other family group, so we can enjoy all the exhibition slowly. We spend almost 2 hrs there. We all had a good time.”

“I came on a rainy Sunday when the parking lot was completely full, but inside I would not call it overwhelming and every kid had areas to play on their own. There were no exhibits closed. Everything was open other than the outside area which shuts during the rain, something to be aware of. I’ve been to a couple Other children’s museums, this one had the most natural light, and also felt the most “airy” with multiple atriums. I would also say this children’s museum is probably the most creative I’ve been to, including a fun socks, sliding area that’s kind of like ice-skating. The reason for four stars not five is the pricing model, which is $20 for both kids and adults. It’s pretty obvious everything is made for kids to play with, to charge the same for adults who don’t take up any activities seems odd, and for us bringing grandparents Cost $40 extra. Why not charge $30 per child in $10 per adult? That way it also disincentives one adult from bringing many children who aren’t supervised (which is the current incentive).”

“Very modern museum. Very educational for young and old. The planetarium is a must to visit. Just don't forget to make your reservation when you arrive. I loved the shark exhibition during my visit with many interesting stories of Pacific culture related to sharks.”

31 Memorial Pkwy SW, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548, United States

“We were visiting from out of state and this was a great place to take the kids. I’m sure spring and fall is the best time to visit. We were there in the winter, so it was a bit cold, but not bad. It was really crowded between nap time so if you go around 2:00pm there’s not gonna be a ton of people.”

“The art here was amazing to see. Very detailed with a QR code you could scan for a guided tour or you can read the panel on the wall next to the art that describes what you’re looking at and who the artist was. Free admission too.”
