The South Florida Science Museum is poised, after more than a decade of attempts, to transform itself into a modern science education center for the Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast region.
Have you ever looked in the mouth of an Ice Age mastodon, touched a 232 pound meteorite or been up close and personal with a shark? As you peer through the glass of the aquariums or enjoy a planetarium show at the South Florida Science Museum, you can also discover the many other exciting offerings that have amazed the community for the past 50 years. On October 22, the community is invited to celebrate 50 years of science at the Museum’s Fabulous 50th Birthday Celebration. The Museum is offering 50 percent off admission prices for the day.
Satisfy your sweet tooth at the South Florida Science Museum during the annual Science of Chocolate event on February 12 and 13. The decadent event will feature all things chocolate and is sponsored and presented by Hoffman’s Chocolates. Guests can continue the sugar rush during the Museum’s Candy “Nights at the Museum” on February 25.
Anyone out there? The South Florida Science Museum announces its new Amateur Radio station, according to Lew Crampton, Chief Executive Officer of the Museum. With help from licensed Amateur Radio operators, often called “Hams,” museum visitors will be able to “get on the air” and talk around the world using amateur radio. Contacts will also be attempted using ham radio satellites in space.
