About Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

Few ceilings can compete with an aquarium. At Frost Science, the oculus of the Gulf Stream tank lets you watch the animals from below. The route shifts perspective between exhibit levels, which are devoted to the ocean environment off Florida.

The museum has science exhibits and a planetarium. Pick your priorities when you arrive, especially if you want to combine it with PAMM on the same day. With kids, consider staying longer and trimming the rest of the day's plans.
