A great place for young children and toddlers. I bring our 16 month old twins once a week. There is a playroom in the front of the museum . They spend hours there exploring & making new friends.

Sean Plemons

Fantastic events all year. Perfect for the whole family and repeat visits. And "Collector's Day" might be my favorite day of the year.

Jonathan Bishop

The front desk is just there to scare you; almost everything's free (except the butterfly rainforest , if you're not a UF student ), so you can just go around it when you walk in.

Joe Hancock

The exhibits are excellent. Spend a couple hours and enjoy it don’t try to speed through it there’s a lot to learn here.

Amaury J

Take your time when going through it. You will see so many more things if you just hang out for a bit.

Have to see the Butterfly Rainforest . Don't forget about the other exhibits . Filled with lots of information. Plan on spending a few hours here.

Bardia K.

Fun and informative exhibits , but butterfly rainforest is the best part. UF students get in free!

Mostly free. Only required to pay for special exhibits . Great on cold or rainy days, especially if you have several hours to spend.

Everything! But the icing on the cake is the butterfly garden . Military get in for free
