A
Children's Science Explorium
A kiddy attraction in the western section of Boca, this explorium has exhibits on Florida ecosystems and local history, as well as brightly colored hands-on exhibits on ever-popular topics including space, physics and various aspects of nature. Outside is the very cool Science Trail, a series of physics experiments cleverly disguised as a nifty playground. The museum is part of Sugar Sands Park, 132 acres of shady Florida scrub that's almost as nice as Boca's collection of oceanfront greenways.
