Museum of Arts & Sciences

We missed the new WW2 exhibit by just two days, which we're bummed about. We would have loved to of seen that, but I guess it just means we'll have to come back.

This is a fun museum. There really is a lot to see for everyone of all ages.
My husband and I even found ourselves playing like kids in the children's exhibits. The giant sloth was my personal favorite (because duh). But the locomotive, automotive and coke displays were also incredible.

Coming from Pennsylvania, it was really fun to see the Cuban art exhibit and learning that our very own, and very loved, Milton Hershey got his sugar cane from Cuba, developed a sugar mill, and schools for orphaned children in the process. It was really fun to learn new things about our state's favorite legend all the way here in Florida.

It's definitely worth checking out.

This is one of my son's favorite places to visit. So, when he said he wanted a big birthday party, I could not have found a better venue than here. At first, I had a very difficult time, but then a fantastic person by the name of Savannah reached out to me. And she not only made it right, but she went above and beyond her duties in my opinion. She took care of booking our event, and when I arrived, I was given a hand written letter by her in a nice card. Savannah not only saved the day for my son's party, but she made us feel appreciated and welcomed and kept communication the whole way through. Savannah is a true asset to this beautiful museum! As for the venue itself, I couldn't recommend it highly enough! The facility was so clean and accommodating! The planetarium is updated, and there are new exhibits to explore as well. The children's area is perfect for all ages to play and learn. And they are working on upgrading that as well. So, believe me when I tell you that this is the perfect place to have your kid's birthday party.

So much fun!! We came for the new telescope exhibit and it was interesting. This museum covers an array of history and even has sections for children. My favorite was the insect and bone displays while my grandfather enjoyed everything automotive/locomotive!! This spot is a true gem to spend 1-2 hours exploring!

We were pleasantly surprised at the diversity of displays at this museum. We found both the World War II, and the Coca-Cola bottling plant exhibits interesting, but the star of the show was the enormous Pleistocene era giant sloth.

This museum has something for everyone, and the whole family (3 generations) as a whole. I enjoyed the art very much, and my parents loved reminiscing of all things from the past. Something to see, learn and explore around every corner. I would like to make a special note about the ladies who worked at the front desk, I had a personal request and they came through.

Very nice place to visit with your family!! My 2 children like it very much. very kind people!!

So much to see and do. The kiddos had a blast with the experiments and interactive stations. Before we knew it 3 hrs had passed and they were still trying to get it all in. We'll be back!

Great educational experience with the Planetarium shows and the museum itself! Between artwork, hands on learning experiences, the cleanliness and safety of the whole place, I highly recommend this for all walks of life!

Amazing time! Veterans get in free and can bring 4 others.. The weapons room is incredible. The apothecary is a fun look back in time.. Old cars, Old Trains, and an amazing collection of Coke products! Africa, Cuba and prehistoric Florida.. all super detailed and really interesting. The planetarium is down until Late this August, but they have a whole wing dedicated to learning about Space, so the Planetarium would of just been icing.
This is definitely worth a couple hours of your vacation.

Awesome place. Very educational. We will be going back for an outdoor sky view with telescopes.

Enjoyed the art and the history.

I am a preferred wedding photographer at this venue and I love shooting at this place, its just a wonderful discovery every corner of this venue!

I went to attend the Historycon being held that day. If you are 65 or older there is a senior discount. The Coca-Cola and train car exhibits are fascinating. I only covered part of the museum so I upgraded my admission to membership before I left so I can return at my leisure and take my time touring as well as visit the planetarium show.

A really cute place to explore with kids. We were greeted by a friendly woman at the front desk who was very helpful in explaining all the different options to see and told us that the planetarium would be playing a video in about 15 minutes. The video was so informative and my four year old daughter loved it. The children's museum area is fun and there's so many things to play with. It was a great experience and definitely a great value for the price--under 5 is free.

Love the place, but wish the Planetarium wasn't named after the Funeral Family, who's buried many of our local family and friends.

Imagine being so narcissistic, that you want a Planetarium named after your family which is obviously synonymous with death.

If I were them, I'd have gladly named the Planetarium something relevant or even inspiring.

Imagine the narcissism? I physically can't.

This place is 10/10. I would compare it in variety and quality to the Victoria & Albert in London, but it is actually even better. Top notch kids museum, incredible art and antique collections. The staff member that greeted us was wonderful. Prices are good and parking is easy There was something for everyone in our group. The ground are beautiful as well. This was my favorite stop in Daytona.

My husband and I went specifically to see the John Webb telescope exhibit. It was awesome! Space Buffs don't miss out on this one. Also, we recently attended the Vincent van Gogh movie, Loving Vincent, that was playing at the planetarium. Superb presentation.

Definitely had a blast. There were so many different areas that you could go into. There are so many different things to learn. Kids area, we absolutely love science and museums, so this was definitely amazing for me and my family!

Great place! They should talk about their Coca Cola exhibit maybe. Lots of interesting exhibits, including some personally-owned passenger train cars that are just amazing. Art from all over the world.

I have visited this Museum several times which says a lot! I really enjoy this place, the employees are friendly and there is so much to see! Definitely check it out if you are ever visiting Daytona Beach. You can buy your tickets the entrance and they aren't too expensive either. Also a super cool gift shop and outdoor natural area to explore and see unique plants.

This is a MUST visit if you are in Daytona Beach. This museum is the best museum I have ever been to! It is huge and has an amazing kids section and theater. Everything was super clean and convenient.

They have a section for all age periods & many things I have never seen before nor could believe things that old could still exist.

The curator has chosen an amazing collection and is doing a fantastic job preserving all of these priceless artifacts. It appears they are always bringing in new artifacts on top of the already extremely elaborate collection.

We had so much fun at this museum! We spent over 5 hours and could have stayed even longer. They have cool kid camps that looked great and were very affordable.

Plus it is free entry for all every Tuesday! That's right, free entry for the entire family every Tuesday at the Museum of Arts & Sciences in Daytona beach!

Thank you everyone at the Museum of Arts & Sciences in Daytona Beach for an unforgettable experience! What an amazing facility!!!
