This museum is a mix of science, nature and exploration with modern open-air architecture and stunning views of Biscayne Bay. There is an awe-inspiring planetarium and the exhibit halls run through its six floors. The real attraction is the 31-foot “oculus” lens and viewing portal through which you can watch the three-story aquarium habitat filled with hammerhead sharks and hundreds of colorful species. Kids love the stingray pools where they can “pet” the stingrays. Check the website for events like Thursday night laser light shows.
