Frost Museum is located in the heart of downtown Miami near the Perez Art Museum
It's located at 1191 Biscayne Boulevard Miami, Florida. There are
several ways to get to the Frost Museum. If you're driving then you have to pay
for parking. The most convenient is the museum parking which is a bit pricey
Here's a parking tip: we suggest parking in the Miami City
public parking lots surrounding the museum. Public lots are cheaper and
are close by. Make sure to download the pay by phone app. We have included a link to
parking lots near the museum for your convenience on our website. You can also
take the metro bus. Visit the miami-dade transit website to view bus schedules
connections and transit directions. Tip here are some free transit options: the
Frost museum is directly next to the miami-dade Metro mover Museum Park
station. Take the Omni loop train to museum Park station and then walk to the
Frost museum entrance. Another free option is the Miami Trolley. Take the
Biscayne trolley route with the stop on Biscayne Boulevard just north of
northeast 10th Street If you're not sure ask the trolley
driver. The Frost museum offers many ticket options. You can purchase tickets
at the ticket counter when you arrive but we recommend purchasing them online
as the ticket lines can get very long General admission tickets include all
museum exhibitions aquarium and your choice of one Frost planetarium
show. Here's a money saving tip: if you only
want to purchase the general admission ticket and plan to go to other
attractions in the Miami area we suggest purchasing the Go Miami card
or Explorer pass by Smart Destinations for incredible discounts on multi
attraction passes. We've provided a link to smart destinations at hipfig.com. The
Fox Museum is an impressive building with six floors. Here's a time-saving
and energy saving tip: we suggest doing each floor one at a time starting from
the sixth floor. Take the elevator up to the top floor taking the stairs down. On
level six, e prepared to be wowed! You'll find a solar and lunar terrace with
outstanding views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. It's absolutely noteworthy
and worth the price of admission. On level 5 you'll find the inventors and
residents and you'll be able to look down on the aquarium. On level 4 you'll
find the aquarium called the Vista area This area replicates the surface of Key
South Florida ecosystems including the Gulf Stream. The 100 wide foot 500,000 gallon
Gulfstream aquarium has mahi-mahi, Devil Rays, and hammerhead sharks. This area
includes coal reefs, mangroves, beaches and the Everglade. You can even touch a
a stingray. On level 3 you'll find the feather to the stars which explores
animal and human flight as well as spaceflight. You'll also find the new
monster fish which opens in spring 2018. At the lower portion of the aquarium
called the dives where 30 aquariums have interactive exhibits reveal the
diversity of the subtropical sea. Also get great views of Bayfront Park and the
cruise ships. The second level you'll see the deep and oculus a continuation of
the Aquarium. The 31 foot oculus lens forms the bottom of the Gulf Stream
aquarium. From this area a ramp leads to the me lab. On the first level
you'll find the planetarium. The planetarium screen is made up of 16
million color 8k visual system with six 3d capable projectors and surround
sound the dome is tilted forward at 23.5 degrees so that the 67 foot span creates
and nearly 360 degree view Arrive at least 15 minutes before showtime for the
best seats. Here's a money saving tip: bring a plastic refillable water bottle
with you you could refill it with water for free at any of the water fountains
and perhaps some snacks. Here's another tip: be prepared as it often rains in Miami
especially June to September. Many parts of the museum are exposed so pack
a reusable rain poncho or umbrella so you don't miss a thing
The frost museum will take three or more hours depending on your interest
Combine with the Perez Art Museum which is right next door. The frost museum is
highly recommended and fun for everyone in the family
