Museum, art galleries, a planetarium, Cuban and African exhibits, a Children’s Museum, and rotating special exhibitions.


Why We Love It:
The Children’s Science Center is packed with fun, hands-on activities. You’ll also find massive sloth skeletons, medieval and weapons collections, vintage Coca-Cola memorabilia, and a historic train that has been kept intact. The teddy bear and dollhouse displays add a charming touch, while themed exhibits and laser light shows in the planetarium make this museum a must-see for all ages.
