Cox Science Center and Aquarium
Formerly the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, now the Cox Science Center, with interactive science exhibits, a freshwater and saltwater aquarium, and a planetarium, which is good for families.
The Cox Science Center, formerly known as the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, is in Dreher Park next to the Palm Beach Zoo. It has many hands-on exhibits, an aquarium showing Florida coral reefs and mangrove ecosystems, a digital planetarium, and outdoor areas with mini golf and a science trail. Night stargazing events are held monthly. It is generally open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, and adult admission is about $25. It is a good option on rainy days or with children, and it can be paired with a visit to the zoo on the same day.
