Science Museums in Florida: what to expect
Florida has 3 science museums we would happily take our own kids to. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is the one most families start with. Stand beside the real Space Shuttle Atlantis and time your visit for a live rocket launch. Museum of Discovery and Science is the other name that comes up again and again. Hands-on science plus South Florida's largest IMAX screen under one Fort Lauderdale roof. Orlando Science Center rounds out the pick of the bunch. A learn-by-doing science center where you solve problems instead of just reading labels.
Tickets at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex start from $77 per person. The rest of the list does not publish a set price, so confirm admission on the official site.
The science museums on this page are spread across Merritt Island (1), Fort Lauderdale (1) and Orlando (1), so it is easy to pair two into one trip.
