When you think of Miami, you can imagine a city full of beaches, lots of sun, hype and attractions like the ones you see in the movies that take place in Florida. What few know is that the city also offers several options for museums. And today we will talk about the Frost Science Museum, a very different tour that brings together sciences, aquarium and planetarium in a modern and super relaxed environment. It is a great experience for your kids in Miami. Adults will love it too, since it is one great museum in Miami!
The Frost Museum in Miami is officially named Phillip and Patricia Frost Science Museum. It is a 23 thousand square meter complex with 6 floors, an investment of US $ 325 million dollars made jointly by private, public and philanthropic institutions.
The place attracts tourists from all over the world and Americans from all corners. A place that, who loves to travel, should set aside at least 3 hours to visit and learn. Hundreds of people visit the museum daily and the queues can be very long and tiring. Ensuring entry well in advance is paramount.
About Frost Museum Miami
Opened in 2017, the Frost Science Museum Miami draws attention for its futuristic architecture and for offering a vast knowledge about the planet, the sea, science in general and, of course, the viewpoints, which offer a privileged view of Miami. The exhibits spread over the six floors of the building show how a museum can be interactive and curious.
Each floor of the Frost Museum is dedicated to a different theme. Do you know that rule that here in Brazil is always valid when entering a museum: “Don’t touch, just look”? Well, in Frost this rule does not even apply as a joke. The possibility of touching, pushing, wetting, testing and experiencing the exhibitions besides being real is incredible and makes each visitor have a unique and eternal experience in the memory.
Attractions and things do do
Frost Museum Planetarium
As soon as you enter the Museum, the first open space for visitation is the Planetarium. It is one of the most advanced spaces in the United States, in terms of technology.
Consideren one of the most advanced spaces like it in the United States, Frost Planetarium takes you on visual joyrides that both thrill and educate. At the time it opened, only 13 places in the world had the same technology. The Frost Museum planetarium has a gigantic structure 3D-8K technology. Upon entering the room, 250 seats are arranged in a way that the visitor sees a projection system with 16 million colors. It is as if the visitor is traveling through space. The dome is tilted 23.5 degrees, allowing your field of view to be completely filled, as if you were flying – the images arrive from top to bottom, from bottom to top and from the sides. It’s incredible!
The Aquarium
Imagine a 3-story aquarium, countless marine species like sharks, colorful fish, jellyfish, rays and more. According to the organizers. The top level, called Royal Caribbean Vista level, is where you travel the amazing surface of habitats such as the Gulf Stream, Mangrove Forests and the Everglades. At the lower levels you dive dip for beautiful underwater views and interactive experiences.
The idea is to create an awareness of how important it is to preserve marine life, especially sharks, which are so important for the preservation of the planet.
It happens that, if sharks end up extinct, the smaller fish that are their food, in turn, will end up with underwater plants and these, in turn, will stop producing oxygen for the rest of the planet. Look at the size of the impact on the ecosystem!
