The Frost Science Museum is a science museum in Miami, Florida, located at 1101 Biscayne Blvd. It is also known by its longer name, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, and it is a place built around science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.
What you will find
The museum combines several kinds of experience under one roof:
- Interactive exhibitions that invite visitors to explore scientific ideas by doing rather than only reading.
- A planetarium for shows about the sky and the wider universe.
- An aquarium bringing marine life and water ecosystems into view.
Because the exhibits are hands-on and varied, the museum suits a wide range of visitors, from families with children to adults who simply enjoy learning how things work.
Planning your visit
The museum sits on Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami, so it is easy to combine with other stops in the city centre and along the bay. If you want to confirm current details before you go, the museum can be reached by phone at +1-305-434-9600.
Allow enough time to move between the exhibition halls, the planetarium and the aquarium, since each offers a different pace. A visit works well as a half-day or full-day outing, whether you are travelling with children or on your own with a curiosity about science.
