WHO
On the last Friday of every month, the South Florida Science Museum hosts a themed “Nights at the Museum” — a family friendly opportunity to enjoy extended hours of the Museum’s typical offerings as well as a chance to view the night sky through the Museum’s observatory. Once monthly, weather permitting, the SouthFloridaScienceMuseum opens its observatory dome, which rotates to allow for the best views. Guests will be treated to craters, comets and galaxies visible by the telescope.
Monthly “Nights at the Museum” events run from 6pm – 10pm and every month there is a different theme. Activities often include arts and crafts, animal dissections, and dry ice experiments.
