My family and I always visit this Science center when we come to Florida on Vacation. We love it. The ONLY downfall is how small it is. I was told, when we were there a few days ago, that they are expanding! I am so happy to hear this. It gives so much incentive to look forward to new things! I also love the fact the prices are so reasonable that people don't go broke upon entry. It's such a cute and educational place to visit. And so very worth the visit.
Great place! It's not very big but it has a good amount of cool exhibits. We really enjoyed feeding the stingrays! We got there for feeding time for the big birds so it was cool and mildly traumatizing to watch them pull the hair off the little rats but definitely interesting! Lol 🤣 Thank you all for rescuing the turtles and the other marine animals! 💚🙏🏼
Fantastic marine and science museum. Watch seahorse being fed. Feed stingrays yourself. Longer head turtle and other turtles. Hawks Bald Eagles Falcon Many fish. Highly recommend.
Our kids loved the touch tank, and it kept them busy a good 45 minutes or so. Our middle child absolutely loves turtles and had a blast seeing them being fixed up at the turtle hospital. There were a few groups of what looked like daycare kids that were in and out of areas fairly quickly following a guide. It was like $30 for 5 of us to get in. There is a lot to read and listen to if you stick around for the feedings and information skits. You can easily spend a couple hours here with young kids or anyone interested in learning about wildlife restoration and preservation.
This was amazing I cannot recommend it more!! The staff was great and answered all of our questions. It was so fun to feed the sting rays. We got to pet them too and saw a lot of animals.
