What’s Inside Frost Science?
Frost Science is an immersive, hands-on museum that takes you from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space in one day. Here’s what you can’t miss:
The Aquarium – This three-level wonder showcases South Florida’s marine ecosystems, from glowing jellyfish to hammerhead sharks. Don’t miss the Oculus lens at the bottom of the Gulf Stream Aquarium, offering a breathtaking underwater view.
The Frost Planetarium – This 8K, surround-sound theater launches you into outer space with visually stunning, educational shows. Bonus: Laser Evenings, hosted once a month, sync laser visuals to music for concert-in-the-stars vibes.
Science Exhibitions – The museum’s permanent exhibitions explore everything from the human body to environmental science. Plus, Frost Science brings in two special, temporary exhibitions each year from around the world. Right now, check out Bugs—an interactive exhibition about insects created by New Zealand’s Te Papa Tongarewa and Weta Workshop, the team behind The Lord of the Rings film sets, costumes and more. This exhibition closes on Sunday, April 20.
Frost Science Is Helping Save Miami’s Ecosystems
Science isn’t just about discovery—it’s also about protecting the planet. Frost Science is actively involved in conservation efforts across South Florida.
ReeFLorida – Florida’s Coral Reef is struggling, and Frost Science is working to restore and protect it. Through their ReeFLorida initiative, they’re providing unique opportunities for conservation, education, community outreach and collaborative research.
MUVE (Museum Volunteers for the Environment) – Want to see real conservation in action? Check out how MUVE is working to restore native habitats, from mangroves to coastal dunes. You might even get inspired to join one of their monthly volunteer restoration events!
