Known forscience museumkids museumIMAXSTEM
A highly interactive science and discovery museum in downtown Fort Lauderdale, best known for its hands-on STEM exhibits, an IMAX theater, wind simulator, and a first floor dedicated entirely to Florida ecosystems including prehistoric Florida, hurricanes, and coral. Kids especially love the airplane section, wind simulator, and the iMAX films like Wild Asia. Caveat: some simulators are frequently out of order, and the hologram theater can be hard to see from the back rows.
