1.Miami: Frost Museum of Science and Planetarium Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 429 reviews · from $30Our pick

Spend a full day at Miami’s Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, with entry to its aquarium, hands-on science galleries, and one planetarium show. Touch a stingray, see hammerhead sharks, meet a 30-foot dinosaur, test space and aviation exhibits, and choose between Dynamic Earth and Black Holes. Plan on three to four hours for a proper visit.

“Everything went very smoothly. Only in the moment I bought the ticket, the fact it appears 6PM, and it says in the description we can use it anytime from the moment we buy the ticket, it was very confusing. Based on the comments I bought the ticket and went directly and had no problem. So when we buy the ticket we can directly go.”
