The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science offers an immersive journey through science and nature. Its signature feature is a 500,000-gallon aquarium with a 31-foot-wide oculus window, showcasing sharks, rays, and fish. The planetarium uses a 67-foot dome to project ultra-high-resolution visuals of the cosmos. Hands-on exhibits cover topics from the physics of flight to the Everglades' wildlife. Visitors can also explore the MeLaβ lab for biotechnology experiments. The museum's rooftop terrace provides views of Biscayne Bay.
