Museum of Discovery and Science and IMAX 3D Theater

The Museum of Discovery and Science and IMAX 3D Theater is located at South West Second Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is approximately 15 minutes drive from the city's international airport. It features over 200 interactive science based exhibits as well as offering educational programs and films. The museum and theater are open all year round including Thanksgiving and Christmas from 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 12noon to 6pm on Sundays.

The interactive exhibits here cover many different aspects of science including the workings of the human body, space, rocks and minerals and the ecology of Florida. Visitors can take simulated trips to the moon or mars as well as see wildlife such as sharks, alligators, iguanas, turtles and a 12 foot snake. There is also a Discovery Center for children aged seven and below, which encourages creative learning.

The IMAX Theater has 300 seats that are steeply sloped to bring the audience closer to the 3D screen, which is a huge 60 foot by 80 foot. Gifts and souvenirs such as science kits, toys and books can be purchased at the museum store. The museum can also be hired for private events and birthday parties and can accommodate up to 3,000 guests.
