The Museum of Discovery and Science is one of the largest museums of its kind in Florida, and has the most visitors of any museum in the state. We will be psending the night exploring a number of "ecoscapes", as well as a simulated ride to Mars, a simulated airboat ride in the Everglades and a MaxFlight airplane flight simulator. Among the more popular aspects of the museum are the quantity and variety of Floridian animal species on display.
