To get to the Frost Museum of Science from the hotel, head north on Biscayne Boulevard and take a left on 3rd Street. The College Bayside Metromover Station will be on your right. Take the Metromover up four stops until you reach the Museum Park metro station, and you’re there.

The Aquarium
Dive in Deep
The three-story aquarium is worth the trip alone, exposing the different water habitats of South Florida. The habitats at the top level include the Gulf Stream, mangroves, and the Everglades. Deeper down, guests get a glimpse of underwater views and face-to-face encounters with live animals native to Florida. If you’re visiting Miami, this is a dynamic way to connect with the nature of Florida and is sure to amaze.
The Planetarium
Laser Light Shows & Space Voyages
Another exhibit that can’t be missed at the Frost Museum of Science is the Planetarium. The Frost Planetarium is one of the most advanced of its kind, with a 250-seat full dome complete with a 16-million-color, 8K projection system. Shows are outstanding and offer a nearly 360-degree view of outer space. Make sure to check out their Friday night laser events, held the first and third Friday of the month. Sit back and enjoy a laser light show to the tune of Pink Floyd.
