It's not often you have an all-day rain in south FL but if you do...this is the perfect place to take your elementary-aged kids. Educational, fun, hands-on experiments and excellent interactive activities. Priced fairly, includes 3D movie. more

Great Fun

Wether you have or have not been there before, you have got to visit this museum, there may be some bad reviews kicking around, but those were from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. This museum is on top of its game! 1) The hurricane experience is awesome, you actualy feel like you are in a hurricane, yet the wind is gentle enough to... more

The fees was very resonable to get in and included a 3-D movie plus tokens to feed the fish and swans. Overall it was an average kids science museum with tons of hands-on stuff. Highlights were: 1) Hurricane simulator - you get into this enclosed tube and get to experience what 80+ mph winds feel like. They have a beachball... more

We went with middling expectations, give the mixed reviews we had read on tripadvisors. I think they must have worked on the place in the past year, because I have nothing but praise for the immginarium. My three kids (2,5,7) had a blast, and we had to leave sooner than we wanted to catch a flight. We especially enjoyed the... more

We went here as a way to pass a cold day in Fort Myers. I thought we'd be bored after two hours, but we stayed for 3 1/2. My 7 and 5 year-old boys loved it. They spent a lot of time at the touch aquatic tank which was clean and had numerous horseshoe crabs, rays, urchins, conchs, and hermit... more

We went there during one of two raining days with our two kids. Despite many bad reviews, we found it ok and worth to go there. The kids could really touch and experience everything and had lots of fun. There is a hurricane simulator where you can get in, many huge ball toys, a puppet theatre, dinosours that can be... more

My huband and I took our to children to the museum on Sunday. WE believe that it was worth every penny. This museum is completely geared around children learning science. If you join in that with your children you will have fun too. My children put on a puppet show, they got to sit in a hurricane machine, they got... more

The toys are dirty and many of the exhibits were broken. The interactive exhibits are located in a warehouse like atmosphere that appears to be under construction...I hope. The moldy small tank as you enter the museum is supposed to have sea creatures that you can touch. It consists of one horseshoe crab, hermit crabs, urchins, and anemones. There's a... more

We brought our 6-year old to the Imaginarium for an afternoon. We wanted to avoid the sun after a day at the beach, and this seemed like a good idea. We had fun, but I think that the museum has seen better days. A number of the exhibits were rundown, or not working at all, and some repairs could be... more
