The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is finally set to open to the public Monday, May 8. The 250,000-square-foot Biscayne Boulevard complex, located in Museum Park, will include a planetarium and aquarium.
It is the final piece in a transformation of the former Bicentennial Park that should draw thousands more visitors and breathe new life into downtown Miami.
Admission tickets will be available March 6 at frostscience.org. "Thanks to the hard work of our board of trustees, project team, and the museum staff, we are now almost ready," says Frank Steslow, the museum's president. "The technology, engineering, and sustainability features found throughout the museum rival those on a global stage."
The museum, designed by Grimshaw Architects, is divided into four buildings: a planetarium, an aquarium, and north and west wings. The 250-seat planetarium is one of only 13 3D 8K-projection planetariums in the world and has a 67-foot dome. The aquarium will include Gulf Stream sharks and allow visitors to touch a stingray.

I suppose that anything that isn't covered in snow is a preferred destination for you.

At least it'll soon be light out later so I can see where I'm going, but Spring comes late to the North Country. I remember one year we had a blizzard in May.

But if you can't find parking, it will be another boondoggle.
