The planetarium and the History was okay, but my kids were done in 30 mins. Not unless there's some major changes, we won't be coming back.

This is by far the worst museum I have been to. It was outdated, boring, and insanely dirty. I cannot fathom where the outrageous money people are charged to enter goes. The play place looked like it had NEVER been cleaned. The exhibits near the outdated theater were a collection of old antiques that had no real flow or meaning. The hands on area had a lot of items missing. The only enjoyable experience for my toddler was the elevator.

Very very very disappointed nothing to do way over priced 20$ per person should be 5$ per person not even 30 minutes worth of stuff to do looks huge from outside with only 2 floors of the same exhibits that were there years ago feel ripped off my kids got excited for nothing

Please don't support this place. Animal abuse!!!
Small, not much to look at. The animals deserve better habitats. There's a large owl in a tiny cage sitting in a corner, what the hell??? So depressing. Expensive too. $40 for two adults just to look at a few broken things, ridiculous. Should be ashamed of themselves to call this a museum.

We had a great time on a Sunday, arriving at opening. Parking lot was already starting to get be filled and when we left, it was families coming and going as we went. The actual museum as you can see from the many pictures and some video taken to be shared has much to been seen. That was with an entire 3rd floor closed this day and something closed off in hiding being made on 2nd. So there is much excitement for future visit. Learning everything from dinosaurs, space, establishment of Florida and the United States through out the years and so much more. It is a very awesome and interesting museum with a small zoo!!

Musty, sweltering, and an absolute embarrassment. Honestly, it should be condemned, but instead they have the nerve to charge you while they half-ass everything and phone it in. The “exhibits” look like they were last updated when flip phones were cutting edge—dusty, dirty, and downright depressing. Old equipment, decrepit displays, and a vibe that says, “We gave up years ago.” Sad doesn’t even cover it.

Literally one of the worst museums I’ve ever been too! Don’t waste your money! We spent over $130 to go and walked through the whole museum in less than 40 minutes and even then those 40 minutes we were bored and the things to look at here are just not interesting. The whole 3rd floor is closed off, so we didn’t even get to see the whole museum. We were not made aware of that before entering or buying tickets. Most of their things were not interactive at all and if it was interactive it was broken or hardly did anything at all. Save your money and go to a BBQ restaurant instead because that would be cheaper and more worth your time than this museum. Or better yet go to Charleston instead! I wish we’re were able to get our money back because this place felt like a scam and a ripoff. I would not recommend this place to anyone of any age!

They haven't updated anything in years, mismanagement at all levels now has this plan for new construction but it is failing to meet funding and timeline

Yikes, what a giant waste of money. Boring, old, wouldn’t go back if it was free.

Visited with my 7 and 15 year old daughters on Friday. Both of them really enjoyed our time here. I personally loved seeing the live animals, the great horned owl was my favorite. I read someplace that they were moving soon and even though we had fun, I wish we would have been able to see more exhibits. They also have show going on throughout the day.

An unfortunate waste of money. Unless the Dinosaur Exhibit is in town, there’s no justification to pay $88 for two adults and two children under 10. Seeing the entire museum took less than an hour and it was stifling and musty the entire time. The third floor was completely closed off, so we didn’t even have access to the whole museum. The only interactive children’s area, the “Creation Station” seems like an afterthought with building blocks and play structures with missing pieces (as pictured). Our 4 year old was disengaged and bored…there’s only so much excitement that shells and old artifacts can create. The one positive was the live animal room where we got to see two owls, two birds, and a handful of turtles. The local history was enjoyable and interesting, but again, doesn’t feel like enough to satisfy all ages. I truly hope that the new location will include a revamp of this museum, our city deserves it. We need to keep our youth in mind and create a more interactive experience, especially if you’re going to charge us like it.

Extremely disappointing. Not worth the money at all. The creation station for kids was missing a lot of items for them to play with. One exhibit had items from bugs, diaries, to shells? It made no sense at all. All the exhibits were dirty and needed some dusting.
Trust me, it’s not worth the money. We were done with the entire museum within an hour

indoor space for kids to run around, planetarium shows are decent and the live animal area is good for up close views...everything else is genuinely lacking
