Sometimes as a homeschooler our schedule can be a bit more flexible. Maybe wake up in the morning and decide to go on an unplanned field trip with friends and leave our homeschool for in the afternoon. Although I consider going to a museum part of homeschooling. Here in South Florida we have a several of museum and parks. One that a friend recently introduced us to is the Children’s Science Explorium.
This beautiful little museum offers hands-on science center designed for children 5 – 12 years of age and their caregivers. It is filled with fascinating and interactive exhibits, programs that bring the physical sciences to life. In addition to their permanent exhibit collection, the Explorium offers its visitors a variety of traveling exhibits each year. From rockets to molecules, the museum engages and teaches children about the fantastic world of science!
Every year, once in the fall and once in the spring, the Children’s Science Explorium brings in two brand new traveling exhibits to entertain kids and parents alike. These wonderful exhibits stay with the Explorium for about four months before they leave on their way around the country once more.
Since The Children’s Science Explorium is located in the Sugar Sands Park when kids are done learning inside they can get some fresh air and play on the huge playground (NOTE: it is currently closed due to renovations) . Plus for a small fee kids can take a ride on the carousel.
What I love most about the Explorium and park is that there is so much to do for kids. Admission to the Children’s Science Explorium is free of charge although a suggested donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated. The cost to ride the Sugar Sand Park Carousel is $1.00 per person.
Have you ever visited Boca Raton, Florida? If not I highly suggest visiting The Children’s Science Explorium and Sugar Sands Park!
This looks like it would be a ton of fun.
My kids really enjoy Telus world of science here in Edmonton but we are missing the outside elements.
I homeschooled my daughter and loved every minute of it. I know she would aha enjoyed a fun place like this to explore
Believe it or not, but we have never been to Florida! This looks like such a fun place for the kids!
This sounds like a great place to visit for locals and tourists who have kids. We have a similar (although indoors) children’s museum in Cleveland, OH where I live and it is extremely popular.
This looks amazing! My kids would love it!
This museum looks like so much fun! My kids love visiting and exploring children’s museums. I love that they can touch pretty much everything!
I always loved stuff like this when I was a kid. The Liberty Science Center was my favorite.
Ohhh my kids love going to museums! We went to DC recently and that was their fave part of the tripi!
I have never been to Boca Raton, FL. But I’d love too!
This place looks great! Science museums are my favorite! We have the Cincinnati Children’s Museum and it’s fantastic!
