"This is a place for kids!!!"

Kids will have a BLAST here!!! There is so much for them to see and do!! For the little ones they have an orange area where the kids can pick, package and ship oranges!! And for all ages they have all kinds of animals from cockroaches to starfish to look at and learn about. The neat part about this museum is the top floor changes themes all the time so every time you go you will see something new!!! Check out the IMAX as well!!

"Fun while learning"

The kids totally enjoyed this science museum. There are lots of things to see and do, including observing the different fish and critter collection, boarding a flight simulator, climbing, playing with bubbles, etc. Not only that, but there's a cool gift shop with lots of interesting, science related items, like t-shirts that change color in the sun. There is also an IMAX movie theater and a Subways, where you can grab some sandwiches or even pizza and eat outside. (Beware of the pigeons, though).

When you are finished checking out the museum, you can take a walk right across the street, where there is a beautiful, waterfront plaza. It's a great place to take pictures or just relax. I definitely recommend this destination.

"Museum of Fun"

This is a very great exploration museum.  A great place to bring the kids for a fun day!  There are loads of exhibits so the kids will be occupied for a long time.  We like the Gizmo City.  There is stuff to do for kids of all ages.  I have had a lot of fun here as a kids and as an adult taking kids.  And there is an IMAX here so you can double the fun with a film.

"Fun with the Family"

The best the city has to offer families occupies two floors packed with exciting curiosity sparkers. Kids love Virtual Volleyball, the space flight simulator, and the nature section with its fascinating aquariums, spiders, snakes, and enchanted Florida forest. Games slyly teach about fitness, health, physics, and other scientific phenomena. Stop in the gift shop for learning tools of the painless variety. Ecofloat environmental boat tours showcase the beaches, barrier islands, mangrove estuaries, sinkholes, and other diverse local habitat during the summer. Part of the complex, Blockbuster 3-D IMAX Theater shows sky-high discovery films about nature and science.
