Museum of Discovery & Science

A 52ft kinetic-energy sculpture greets you here, and fun exhibits include Gizmo City and Runways to Rockets – where it actually is rocket science. Plus there's an Everglades exhibit and IMAX theater. You can even have an 'Otter Encounter' for $50 per person (reservations only), where you can feed otters, participate in a training, and learn about their habits and diet.
