TimesOff-peak hours
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).
