The Best Hands On Museums in Florida Hands Down

by Chris Blackerby

Kids have oftentimes equated museums with the word boring, and us adults, who tried to take them to one, should know this better than anyone else. But today, museums are slowly taking the spotlight for themselves as they heat up the competition on family activity lists and begin to take on a more hands-on approach on their visitors, kids and adults alike. And with Florida’s best museums on the forefront, learning has never gotten this exciting.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary with an exhibit called The Making of MOSI, the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa, opens up rare archives and objects never before seen by the public. MOSI, the biggest science center in Southeastern USA, is also popular to the kids for The Vertical Rider, an anti-gravity race track where kids get to drive toy race cars on the ceiling!

Take your child inside the eye of a hurricane in Imaginarium’s The Hurricane Experience exhibit. Imaginarium Hands On Museum in Fort Myers is the best hands on museum in Florida with twenty other exhibits that allow children (and parents, too) to be in the forefronts of science itself. It’s a good place to start, if your kid gets overwhelmed easy by bigger museums.

The Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium not only boasts an interstellar learning activity for the whole family, they also offer indoor adventure exhibits and outdoor animal shows. Plus interesting insights on everyday Physics in Newton’s Notions and an inter-body safari in their Immersion Theater.

Explorations V Children Museum in Lakeland is another small community attraction with big ideas! The museum offers exhibits on the life of a Florida orange, a school house, a bank, a playground, a clinic and many more all designed for play and exploration by kids!

For more fast paced learning, go ahead and visit Daytona USA and let your kid experience the thrill of a wordclass racetrack through video simulations, playground pit stops and other exhibits related to the world of race cars.

These hands-on museums in Florida are going to great lengths to make sure they don’t get equated with boredom anymore. The new family activities and fun learning experiences they offer are just evident effort towards this. And did I mention that they’re a heck of a lot fun?
