Admission to both the museum and the aquarium are free with a ASTC pass. The planetarium is $4.00 extra. The museum has excellent exhibits, fossils of early Florida mammals, life size scenes of Indian village life, city streets and a one room country house. There are also numerous collections displayed in the Visible Storage section. The aquarium is basically just a large tank for the manatees. There are a few small tanks with live sea creatures and also panoramas exhibits of ocean life.
We didn’t go to the planetarium. The museum and aquarium are very accessible. All of the exhibits in the museum are easily viewed.There are two railed sections overlooking the aquarium. People in wheelchairs have to use the upper section but the view is good.
The first floor of the museum has an outside area that is patterned after a Spanish village plaza with a chapel, house and fountain. The plaza is accessible but not the buildings because of steps with no ramps.
The parking lot is large enough for RVs. South Florida Museum
