Why You Should Go...

As Miami’s only planetarium, aquarium, and science museum, there’s always something new to discover at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. Sitting on four acres within Downtown Miami’s waterfront Maurice A. Ferré Park, the 250,000-square-foot campus is divided into four distinct buildings: the Aquarium, the Frost Planetarium, and the North and West Wings. 

The three-level aquarium is a focal point of the museum, with its stunning 500,000-gallon Gulf Stream Aquarium exhibit that culminates in a transcendent 31-foot Oculus lens into the waters above—a social media favorite. Across the way, the 250-seat Frost Planetarium takes you on a visual joyride through Earth and space using a 16-million-color 8K visual system and surround sound.

Beyond the Frost Planetarium and the Aquarium are the museum’s riveting science exhibitions, including Power of Science, organized in partnership with the University of Miami. Cutting-edge exhibits, rare specimens, an interactive floor, and a showcase of collection pieces and scientific instruments used across various fields bring these scientific frontiers to life.
