Excellent science museum for kids. It is better than the big name museums in Miami and Ft Lauderdale.

We loved this museum, our kids were so happy, it was not crowded and they enjoyed a lot the exhibitions and the interactive activities. The splash pad in the garden was also very fun!

Really nothing to see or do for teens or adults. But the smaller children will enjoy the outside activities. Definitely not worth the entrance fee.

While relatively small, the Cox Science Center does a great job to fill the space with interesting aspects for both regular and special exhibits.

Our visit was specific to the limited feature for The Titanic, we spent at least as much time enjoying the other features and taking in a competitive round of Mini Golf.

Parking is both limited but flexible so an early arrival is encouraged if you prefer to wander with reduced crowds, an early Sunday was still a very comfortable.

For locals with children, it's worth considering the benefits of a membership and while I did take time to confirm the rules on food and drinks, all of the smart families had prepared for their trip with a picnic lunch and bottled water.

Members of your group with more energy than a science center allows may find some joy and release in the Frisbee Golf course which runs right into the Science Center.

A very nice small science museum with some interesting mainstays and I saw a great light show that was very relaxing.

This place is really nice. Smaller than I had expected for West Palm Beach, but still had really great activities. We went during the Titanic exhibit and that was really neat. They also were having a Earth Day convention and had vendors set up and free planetarium shows. We were unable to see a show due to them being sold. If you want to see a show, you have to get tickets from the from desk prior the each show. It was also very busy of course.And there isn't a whole lot of parking. But all around a great experience.

Over there years we have come here several times specifically when it’s Bank of America museum days. My kids always love it. We truly enjoyed the titanic display. Learned a lot about the guests on the titanic, rooms and artifacts. The new miniature golf area is great although my kids lack patience for golf????

Had a great time

If you are interested in learning about the Titanic, this is a good place to start. It also has a clever aquarium and a scientific center. The kids seem to love it. Don't forget the free miniature golf...go ahead it's fun.

It's nice, but many of the exhibits need improvement or maintenance. Also, the aquarium area doesn't actually have any info about the fish, other than thier names. Young children can have a great time, but for older kids the brain exhibit is really the only interesting one.

I am so thankful for the workers here at the science center for being so diligent with their protocols. My toddler escaped our sight for merely a second and she was no where to be found. It only took a moment for her to disappear during a crowded afternoon. I went straight to the front desk and they began their missing child protocol. She was found in under 5 minutes. I am forever thankful for them!!

We visited the museum during a particularly busy period, our main interest being the “Night of Titanic” show at the planetarium. Unfortunately, tickets for the show were sold out by the time we arrived. This required not only the museum admission but also an additional fee for the planetarium.

Consequently, we toured the museum instead. Due to the large number of visitors, it was challenging to fully appreciate the exhibits. Additionally, some of the interactive displays were out of order. We tried the mini-golf course, which was enjoyable despite the crowds and the limited opportunity to take more than two shots per hole.

Overall, the museum provided an entertaining experience, but the overcrowding made it difficult to fully engage with all it had to offer.

Great time for the kids. Depending on what time you go there are interactive exhibits and my toddler got to pet an alligator and touch a live starfish. Lots to do, gift shop available and outside area for snacking. Just down the road from the zoo as well

It was awesome and all of the Titanic artifacts, a couple more weeks and they move on elsewhere. Don't miss this! Very interesting. Loved it, tickets were very reasonable.

This is a great place for kids. It was a fun day with lots of learning. Aquariums is small but nice. We loved the sand table, which is very interactive, and you can build mountains and see how that will affect the raining pattern. I believe they will be remodeling soon. But still open.
