Frost Museum of Science - by Steve P on Google





Description
The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science combines an aquarium, a planetarium with a 20m wide dome, and science exhibits. The Aquarium mostly features habitats from South Florida and the Gulf; the centrepiece is the Gulf Stream tank that is home to hammerhead sharks and devil rays. The Science section focuses on stars, the sun and solar system, the periodic table, the history of flight (animals and aircrafts), and the Everglades ecosystem.
Access & Transport
The museum is at 1101 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, at the edge of the Maurice A. Ferré Park. The light rail Omni Loop stops there at Museum Park station and there is a bus stop on Biscayne Blvd. Onsite parking is available for a $18 flat rate Accessibility info: https://www.frostscience.org/accessibility/
Instructions & Recommendations
If you don't mind more cultural activities, the Pérez Art Museum Miami is next door. Alternatively, for shopping and restaurants, the Bayside Marketplace is a 15mins walk to the south (past the Kaseya Center)
Environmental & Social
The building is LEED Gold certified with a focus on HVAC, lighting and water usage efficiency + sustainability of building materials. Details here: https://www.frostscience.org/about-the-building/sustainability/ + Educational aspects
Conclusion
The Frost Museum of Science is an excellent option for families with curious-minded children; it touches on many topics and is very engaging - even immersive as relates to the planetarium and large fish tank. It is quite a budget though. For adults, not a priority, in our opinion.
Key positive
Great planetarium and main fish tank
Family-friendly museum
Key negative
Expensive, even for children
Suitability
Suitable for all ages and accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
