We all had the best time at MODS. My nephew who is 9 and loves science especially loved it. The…read morewoman from whom I bought the tickets was so sweet and helpful. My nephew loved the iMAX movie Wild Asia (It was really well done.), the wind simulator and the airplane section. Unfortunately, a lot of the simulators didn't work so he was a bit disappointed. He still liked climbing in the planes. He also liked seeing the big thing at the front with the balls going through the thing that looked like a Ferris wheel. I loved the hockey exhibit. It was really well done and was neat to learn the history of hockey especially the Stanley Cup. Being from Pittsburgh, I loved seeing Sydney Crosby represented in the players area. It was also neat to see the skates, puck and sticks evolve over time. If you have kids (especially if they love science and now sports while the hockey exhibit) definitely come visit.

When we brought these up to staff, they said this was common and known. Some were able to be fixed (only to break again shortly after). Others were simply non-working. Kids were seen licking attractions, but there were no wipes or handy sanitizer available if you wanted it cleaned. Absolutely a rip off. Although staff were nice, there was absolutely nothing worth the ridiculous fee for entrance (plus another 10-15 for parking). The Broward County libraries are a much better choice.

They recently started offering free tours for locals on Wednesdays, so I decided to take advantage. It's a free self-guided tour, and they give you an audio device that gives you all the information on each room. The volunteer who checked me in was super sweet. Stranahan House is the oldest structure in Broward County, and I really enjoyed learning more about the history of the area, and especially about Ivy Stranahan's activism. It really gave me a new appreciation for the area. My favorite part was the upstairs porch, with a beautiful, relaxing view of the New River. I took the volunteer's advice and sat up there for a minute enjoying it instead of rushing through, and I'm so glad I did. Be aware that upstairs isn't air conditioned, so half of the tour is really hot. Dress accordingly or bring a fan! Overall, I'd highly recommend stopping by! It's something fun to do that's a nice change of pace.

I came in yesterday after learning that the first Thursday of the month is free. What a great deal!…read more The museum features a variety of art styles and formats, and has exhibits that switch out often so there's always something new to see. They also had a free craft area for kids, and I saw kids doing some sort of art scavenger hunt. There's a café that has specials on the free days as well. I believe it was 2-for-1. The whole first floor was shut down (I assume for building a new exhibit), so I was only able to see about half of the museum. This didn't bother me since my admission was free, but I would've been pretty annoyed if I had paid for a full-price ticket. Even on a normal day, admission is relatively cheap. It's a fun, unique activity and a great way to beat the heat!

In fact, you may have passed it a couple times stumbling back and forth from Dicey's. Perhaps you have noticed two large dishes positioned directly across from each other a considerable distance apart and wondered, "what are those for?" Well, my friends, those dishes just happen to be a site of some uber cool, mind-blowing SCIENCE! They are whisper dishes! Basically, you stand at one. Your friend stands at the other. You whisper into the center of the disk. Your friend, who is shouting distance away, can hear you whispering as if you were standing right next to them. It will FREAK you out the first time you try it. But do try it. Take all of your friends there. Use the dishes to convey your deepest darkest secrets. Just don't pass them by the next time you are Downtown. I've only ever visited them at night, thus the subpar photos. Perhaps you can visit during the day and get some better ones! Enjoy =] Oh, and I did a little research - apparently they've been there since about 1991 - before the Museum of Science! They are located in Esplanade Park, which is an outdoor science park (!) http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1991-09-24/news/9102070040_1_fun-park-newest-park-15-acre-park YAY SCIENCE!

They offer free entry, free parking, and free tours! Gary was our tour guide and he is amazing! So much history & his stories! He was great! We spent about 3 hours with him and left with so much appreciation for what they did. This is an all volunteer museum so make sure to donate! Former President George H. W. Bush Sr was stationed here during his military service, graduated in 1943. There is a room dedicated to him and his time there! Lots of details! He even stopped by and signed a part of the wall! We can see pics of a young Barbara too! There is so much history here! There is a flight simulator training, vintage models/artifacts, uniforms, etc. Flight 19 that disappeared in Bermuda was from here. It is packed to the brim with memoribilia. Gary told us they have so many items, but can't display it all. The museum building is the only original building left of over 200 buildings of the base complex when it was used from 1942 to 1946. This base made a big impact on the growth of Southern Florida and is now the Ft Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport. They have a private parking lot adjacent to the museum. Definitely recommended!
