| Fish in the Aquarium Frost Science Museum, Miami, FL June 23, 2025 |
Chris and I agreed to take Jeremy and Julie to the Miami Cruise Port yesterday. We decided to make it a day trip and planned a stop at the Frost Science Museum after dropping them off at the port. The museum is located near the cruise port and it was fairly easy to get from the port to the museum.
The museum has its own parking garage, which I found a bit expensive at a flat rate of $18. But, the museum is right in the downtown area of Miami and the prices are not that high when considering other cities like Baltimore or NYC.

While at the museum, I was able to get a nice image of Freedom of the Seas, Jeremy and Julie's home for the next four nights, from the fifth floor observation deck. But that was just the beginning. The museum if full of exciting things to do and the centerpiece is the three-story aquarium with associated exhibits about Florida environs. Fantastic!! I one of the Florida specific exhibits, I saw a barracuda that would definitely make me leave the water.

But wait! There is more to the five-story museum. Currently, an AI exhibit is being hosted and the museum also has a planetarium and a dinosaur exhibit titled, "The Dig." We did not explore the entire museum, saving some for a return trip.
I was very excited about the AI exhibit. Inside of it I found a a three-wheel Enigma machine from WW2. There were also 1951 letters to and from Alan Turing discussing the possibility of a chess playing machine.
There is a lot to see and experience in the museum. And, there is a very nice cafe to obtain beverages and food.
It was definitely a great way to make the most out of the two-hour each way trip from home to Miami! Maybe next time I will use the train.
Recommendation. The Frost Science Museum, Aquarium & Planetarium is a must visit when in Miami.
