We just happened to stumble upon this Museum so we decided to give it a try, best part is admission was FREE. They do accept donations, and also have to exhibits the butterfly garden and snake exhibit both of which you need tickets for. But on this day i was out to do as much as we could for as... More

Wonderful exhibit on Titanoboa, a 45 foot snake, weighing 2500 pounds, that lived about 65 million years ago!! Had never even heard of it prior to visit. Extremely well done exhibit, with well done explanation boards. Step by step explanation from discovery, to unearthing the bones. Also, great artifacts from the surrounding area, including those of Native American Tribes that... More

We recently spent an afternoon at the museum and learned so much about our state. We saw lots of well-designed and educational exhibits. Loved the dioramas in particular and how the many fossil exhibits were displayed and explained. Kudos to the staff!

I was last here over 10 years ago, right when the museum was starting its remodel. Wow, has it grown up! Awesome exhibits that are well grouped and easy to access. I was lucky enough to visit during the "springs" exhibit and it was informative (and alarming) at the then-vs-now photos of the springs, particularly some of the ones that... More

So much hand on stuff here. Not too huge but absolutely worth a half day visit. Our teens liked it too. I liked it better than what we have seen in NY and DC. There were so many more hands on things for our 5old - really for all of us. Pay for the butterflies too. I think the rest... More

It is laid out well and meticulously kept by the friendly & well educated staff. There is something to peak the interest of the whole family. The... More

The Florida Museum of Natural History is what you'd expect from a museum of this nature. There are fossils, recreations of skeletons of ancient creatures from the area, and tons of facts to be shared about them. It's a interesting visit, but not something I could do every weekend. I do like the fact that they are constantly adding travelling... More

It took us maybe 4 hour or so to take our time and go through it. FANTASTIC MUSEUM. I greatly admire ALL the people behind these exhibits - the scientists, the curators, the writers, the artists, etc. The exhibits are so intelligently, engagingly, and artfully presented - you can not help but be drawn into the experiences of them (multi-media...

This is a real experience or all who would venture there. Along with a fantastic array of varied subjects is a fabulous, large wrap around diorama of Florida. A must see.
