The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is a West Palm Beach area science education venue that functions as a museum, aquarium, and public science center. Founded in 1959 and formerly known as the South Florida Science Museum, it offers more than 50 hands-on exhibits and spaces such as an 8,000-gallon freshwater and saltwater aquarium featuring local and exotic species. The center also hosts a digital planetarium, a Conservation Research Station, a Florida Exhibit Hall, and an Everglades Exhibit that highlights the region's diverse ecosystem. Its programs are designed to engage the public through interactive displays, camps, and events that broaden access to science. The organization serves families, students, and educators seeking practical science experiences and educational programming within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector. It participates in community initiatives, including partnerships that support positive experiences for underserved audiences, such as collaboration with the Casey Cares Foundation to benefit critically ill children. While modest in size, the center operates as a regional educational resource based in the West Palm Beach area.
