Kids and adults alike can explore the wonders of space for FREE at Miami Science Museum’s Fabulous First Friday events in August and September. Guests can “reach for the stars†during a free planetarium show, rooftop observatory viewing, and Activity Room for children three and older. For a nominal charge, attendees can also enjoy Miami Science Museum’s exhilarating laser shows.
During both dates, the Activity Room for children ages three and older will feature supervised activities and demonstrations, starting just before 8 p.m. Also, the Ms. Cheezious food truck will be on site, and donate 10 percent of all sales to Miami Science Museum’s Upward Bound program. One of the US Department of Education’s TRIO programs, Upward Bound helps low income, first-generation college bound students to be prepared for postsecondary study, and to graduate college with a bachelor’s degree in science, math, and technology related fields.
Current exhibitions at the Museum, viewable daily from 10 a.m.-6 p.m., include Earth From Space: The Magic Planet, Energy Tracker, Heart Smart, The Sea Lab, and Wildlife Center. Exhibitions are included in the Museum admission price.
Miami Science Museum aims to make a difference in people’s lives by inspiring them to appreciate the impact that science and technology can have on every facet of our world. For over 60 years, Miami Science Museum’s award-winning educational programs, family-focused exhibits, historic planetarium, and rehabilitative Wildlife Center and Clinic have enriched locals and tourists alike. In 2014, the legacy continues with the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, a new world-class, state-of-the-art facility designed by Grimshaw Architects in the heart of downtown Miami. Miami Science Museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums and is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. For more information about the current Museum or our future home, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, visit www.miamisci.org or call (305) 646-4200.
