This spot isn't solely for children. We spent an enjoyable afternoon here with friends. The aquarium left a positive impression on us. We indulged in mini-golf and thoroughly enjoyed the planetarium show. Even the dinosaur exhibit provided ample fun.

Interactive. The puzzles and hands-on activities are engaging for children and stimulate their cognitive development. While there were some broken items, the overall experience is still satisfactory for both children and adults.

Wonderful museum. Even though it is kid oriented my wife and I also enjoyed it a lot. So much to do especially for kids with sensory needs. 10/10

Every museum is worth visiting! Cox is just a bit outdated. I'm really old in age, and it's time to add more. The fish aquarium area was beautiful! I know a newer development is in the works!

For what it's worth, it's basically just artifacts and geared towards kids 7 and under. I have a 10 year old, and she wasn't too thrilled.

I wouldn't go back to visit twice.

Awesome museum for kids and adults to visit. They have a dinosaur exhibition currently and the kids loved it. Plenty of fish in aquariums, they have an aquarium where can actually go inside the glass wall to see the fish. The museum has indoor and outdoor exhibits. It's not too big so you can easily tackle it in a few hours.

It was a great educational experience for both the children and me. I wish the dinosaur display were available for them to see; however, it wasn't. And that took a star away, in my opinion. One of the reasons for going was to the museum was to see the dinosaurs, and they weren't. However, I was told they are their in September.

First time and it won’t be the last! Clean facilities with so much to do! We could spend the whole day here! My 5year old loved it and said it is now his favorite place. Many interactive activities for the whole family, stem activities with the staff, miniature golf, playground, outside area with amphitheater, and various exhibits/show throughout the day. The aquarium area is small, but plenty of animals to keep you entertained and relaxed. Loved that they had a designated area for toddlers. Looking forward to our next visit!

This place is really nice. Smaller than I had expected for West Palm Beach, but still had really great activities. We went during the Titanic exhibit and that was really neat. They also were having a Earth Day convention and had vendors set up and free planetarium shows. We were unable to see a show due to them being sold. If you want to see a show, you have to get tickets from the from desk prior the each show. It was also very busy of course.And there isn't a whole lot of parking. But all around a great experience.
