Celebrate with us as we embark on a new journey! Enjoy everything the Florida Museum is today and learn how to connect with us around the community during our much-anticipated expansion project.

Museum Fest is all about the natural history we highlight every day here at the Florida Museum! Pick up native plants, talk with our scientists, get up-close views of our current research, tour Museum collections and more at this FREE celebration.

Meet our events team and find where we’ll be popping out in the community next! Check our calendar, follow us on social media or sign up for email to get updates on our exciting plans.

Walk the exhibits

Whether you visit frequently or once a year, now is the time to walk through our exhibits and enjoy your favorite features! Stroll through a one-of-a-kind living Butterfly Rainforest, take a simulated glass-bottom boat ride and discover the fascinating history of the Sunshine State with real fossil favorites like the massive Megalodon jaws.

The last day to visit the exhibits before our expansion project is March 23, 2025!

While event activities are free, there is an admission charge for the Butterfly Rainforest exhibit.
