The Museum of Science Miami wasn't really worth the trip away from South Beach and Downtown as they only offer 1 to 2 exhibits and I visited in the middle of an exhibition change. So I only had a chance to see the CSI Insects exhibit. But overall I was a little disappointed at the size of the Museum and... more

I used to go there as a child 20 years ago so when I took my son there today, we were both excited. WHat a HUGE disappointment! He had fun (he's six and easy to please) but, my gosh everything looked terrible. It was depressing! The carpet reeked and made the whole place smell awful. THe exhibits were really lame... more

I generally love science museums, but this one was truly pathetic. Half of the museum was dedicated to a cultural guest exhibit - interesting, perhaps, but had nothing at all to do with science. Most of the regular exhibits were missing or broken. The planetarium show was okay, but it was more a commentary on how people should "stop and... more

The only good thing I can say about this museum is that the "guest" exhibit was wonderful. Lame is best word I can use to describe the rest of the museum. It was small, filthy and many of the exhibits didn't have signs explaining what you were looking at. (There were even a couple of signs that had fallen off... more

I recently went to the Miami Science Museum and was very dissappointed. After spending $50 for my family to enter ($20 for an adult and $10 for a child) we found that the museum was very small and had very little to do. After touring for around 45 minutes we gave up waiting for the next workshop (which was two... more

This so called "PLANETARIUM" resembled a poverty stricken grammar school library straight out of the 1970's with fake posters made out of cardboard and construction paper describing the 9 planets in our solar system. The employees were just as retro and eerie. Unless you are between the ages of 4-6, dont even bother going unless you want to spend your... more
