About
Ignite your curiosity and see your world differently at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (Frost Science), Miami’s only planetarium, aquarium and science museum! Riveting live shows, animals, hands-on interactives and cutting-edge technology are all part of the adventure ahead. Descend the thrilling depths of the museum’s three-level Aquarium, where you’ll touch a stingray, come face-to-face with hammerhead sharks and more. Hurtle through space, slide down a double helix or climb aboard an asteroid—it’s all in a day’s work inside the Frost Planetarium. An architectural marvel in the heart of Downtown Miami’s waterfront Maurice A. Ferré Park, Frost Science is a museum for all ages and interests.

Fun Afternoon Activity
Apr 2021 • Couples
Enjoyable raining afternoon activity for us to spend some time. I’m a big fan of aquariums and this one was sufficient. The planetarium shows were sold out so get to those early! Surprisingly good food at the cafe as well!

Great time
Feb 2021 • Solo
I stopped by for a few hours, because my flight was delayed to an evening flight. I had a great time and they even held on to my luggage leaving me to fully enjoy my experience. It wasn’t crowded when I went on a Thursday. I enjoyed the show in the planetarium and all the exhibits. They also had a nice cafeteria that wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be.

Okay for a rainy day
Feb 2021
We had fun. But it was more childish than adult like. It was good for a rainy day. Kind of dirty. Just a small museum

Too expensive for what you get
Oct 2020
For two people including parking, this costs almost $75. There are 6 floors which look impressive, except that the top floor is just a lookout, floor 5 is admin offices, and the bottom 4 floors are the exhibits. We felt like this was geared for children and wasn't all that impressive for adults. You can only look at a shark swim around for so long. We would not recommend this for adults due to the high cost to see a very small amount of 'neat' stuff.

Great for kids and adults
Aug 2020
My daughter had a great time here and we did too. A great family experience and a reasonable price too It’s essentially a combination of a science museum, a kids museum, and an aquarium.

Is there a coat/baggage check? We would be coming from a cruise and would like to visit the Museum before going to the airport, so we'll have our all of luggage with us.

Yes, there was one downstairs as you enter when we visited a couple or months ago. I am not sure if there are policies regarding size and number of items to be checked in.

Hi, llego en crucero a Miami y tengo varias horas disponibles antes de tomar el vuelo de regreso a mi país. Es posible ir con las maletas al museo y que las guarden mientras estoy en el museo?

No lo se. Mejor que preguntes. Quizás puedas hacerlo en el crucero y entonces vas al museo

Are you allowed to bring a water bottle or packaged snacks into the museum?

Miami, FL159 contributions
Hello,
Yes you may bring water bottles and snacks. One good option we had was, getting there early a finding parking inside Museum Park (these are very limited) parking is directly right as soon as you get to the museum.
We left the snacks in the car and had a picnic at the park. Your ticket allows you re-entry into the museum. The kids ended up having more fun running around the park than the museum.

They have a large tank that can be viewed both from the surface and from a viewing area underneath. In the viewing area underneath, there are also other interactive exhibits related to sharks

Vengo de lejos, quisiera saber si vale la pena la entrada para personas adultas? Quiero impresionar a mis suegros en un lugar bonito y encerrado por la lluvia de ahora.

Considero que es pequeño recorrerlo y hay partes que no son techadas (pocas) y al final del recorrido pueden ir a caminar a Bayside Market Place es simpático recorrer el lugar, la música, la vista y todo el ambiente, eso si el food court de arriba tuvo una buena época hace como 20 años pero hoy se ve desolado
Suerte!!
