If you paid to see a planetarium show, get there 5 minutes early... And dissuade parents of very young kids (2 years and under) from those shows. Little ones end up ruining the show, asked to leave.

Brianna Yewell

My brother and I had an amazing time! We would absolutely recommend this science center to anyone who is looking to spend a day learning a whole lot but at the same time having so much fun.

The Out of This World exhibit features many rare artifacts including a 40 lb meteorite launched off the surface of Mars following an impact 3 million years ago. It fell to Earth in Nigeria in 1962. Read more

It's geared solely for students & kids. Therefore, the cost for an adult is very high. Tanks are beautiful in size; but in all honesty, it's cheap looking because of the fake coral the fish live in.

Kevin Patterson

Had a blast with the kids. Free admission on the first weekend of the month if you're a BoA customer.

Kristina Holt

Keep cool this summer at the Museum and treat yourself to our new addition, Dippin' Dots while you discover, play & learn!

Joshua Glanzer

Be sure to do the Touch fish tank. The kids get to feel sea life .

Jared Coello

Good for a quick activity. Did the whole museum minus mini golf in less then 2-hrs.

Mindy Basis

Good place to go on a hot summer day... The kids always enjoy it... A little too much money....

TR Lerman

New renovations are great! Seahorses were the best.

ToryBurch

Designed for kids, but fascinating for adults too.

Rachel Bayles

Very sweet museum . Worth the trip. Lovely aquarium and shell collection.

Marie Coombs

Really good for kids under 12.

Vilmarys Valentin

Me and my family had a great time here!

Michael C

Raised prices recently 2 adults 2 kids $40+ for the dat ! better value annual membership $80 for 2 adults and up to 10 kids!

Dee Hille

Well haven't gone in yet but it's under construction and parking is a joke.... Hopefully the experience will make up for the outside!

Erik Plath

They are adding an addition to this museum . Doesn't affect anything now. They say it will open in Spring 2014

Jessi Lewis

Geared for small children. Wasted 60 $ for 4 adults and was done in 15 minutes.

Stephanie Klein

Home to the Planetarium , too!

Mouvielle Caro

Miniature golf is always a winner

Koe M

Its great for little kids. Very gimmicky -it's for young children. $9/adult as of today.

Matt Janes

The museum time left behind. The dinosaur in the front entrance is far too ironic. Lady at the front desk said my valid coupon had expired because she hadn't seen it. Could use some air freshners too!

Kristin G.

Free for Bank of America customers the first full weekend of every month...not worth it if you have to pay or drive a long way.

Jim Stafford

Its great for all ages!

Kristian Zambrana

Check out our SFSM Summer Camp program!

Deb Blumenthal

There were so many ppl in the museum who not wearing a mask or didn’t even come in with them on. Not good!

Billie Wilson

Children running wild.

Neet

This place is a huge disappointment. For anyone who knows true science and children museums this is the worst! Florida has less culture than a cup of yogurt !!!

Sydney Schuler

Unimpressive. Avoid until construction is over.
