Lonely Planet review for Museum of Science & Industry
This museum is deservedly one of the biggest draws around, and it’s definitely in contention for Florida’s best hands-on science museum. With upwards of 450 ‘minds-on’ activities, hyperactive kids will think they have walked into heaven. Look for traveling exhibits and a cool hot-air balloon exhibit, as well as ones on the human body and the amount of garbage the average North American generates annually. Enter a flight-avionics simulator or a Gulf Coast hurricane before taking the 1-mile trail within the on-site wetland preserve. Finish the day with an IMAX movie.
