3) Miami Science Museum:

Science can be fun and endlessly fascinating, and if you want proof, then look no further than Miami Science Museum. Located at South Miami Avenue, north of Coconut grove, the museum has an exhibits section, a planetarium, and a wildlife center. The exhibits center always has several theme based galleries running in parallel throughout the year. The themes themselves are delightfully varied like space, natural history, energy, information technologies to name just a few. The museum also houses an impressive wildlife center dedicated to rehabilitating injured birds of prey. However, the real show piece of the museum is the planetarium that houses an impressive 65 feet domed projection unit. A state of the art star projector, surround sound system, and other top of the line multimedia facilities have turned this planetarium into a crowd favorite.  Big changes are on the way!  The Science Museum is having it's NEW HOME built in downtown Miami right along the Bay in an area referred to as Museum Park.  The new Science Museum will be called: Patricia and Philip Frost Museum of Science.
