Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science
Frost Science
A museum combining an aquarium, planetarium and science exhibits, where a giant “eye” lens lets you look up at sharks and rays from below.
The Frost Science Museum opened in Museum Park in 2017, right next to PAMM. The three-story Gulf Stream aquarium is the highlight. At its base, a circular lens about 9 meters in diameter lets you look up at sharks, rays and sailfish as if seeing them through a fish's eye. Other attractions include exhibits on the Florida Everglades ecosystem, dinosaur and human body displays, and a dome planetarium. It is well suited to families. Check the official website for ticket prices, and note that planetarium shows require a separate timed reservation.
