About Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science

The Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science (Frost Science) is Miami's premier science destination, combining a world-class aquarium, a cutting-edge planetarium, and immersive science exhibits under one architecturally stunning roof at 1101 Biscayne Blvd in Downtown Miami's Maurice A. Ferré Park.

Explore the three-level aquarium where you can touch stingrays and come face-to-face with sharks, then hurtle through space inside the iconic 67-foot domed Frost Planetarium. Rotating and permanent exhibits cover everything from South Florida ecosystems and paleontology to weather, technology, and human biology.

The museum hosts regular Laser Evenings, nightLAB adult events, sensory-friendly "Just for Me" programs, STEM camps for kids ages 5–15, and live talks from scientists and astronauts. With a café, gift shop, free Wi-Fi, and full wheelchair accessibility, Frost Science delivers a full-day family experience.

Tickets start from around $30 per adult, with advance booking strongly recommended on weekends.

Weekday mornings (Monday–Thursday, 10 AM–noon) are the least crowded times to visit Frost Science, with occupancy typically under 45%. Sunday midday is similarly busy. During Miami's peak tourist season (December–March) and school holiday weeks, weekday visits are strongly recommended and advance ticket purchase is advised. The museum is fully indoors and air-conditioned, making it an excellent choice year-round — particularly during South Florida's hot and rainy summer months (June–September).
