Museum of Discovery & Science/AutoNation IMAX Theater

Museum of Discovery & Science/AutoNation IMAX Theater Review

With more than 200 interactive exhibits, the aim here is to entertain children—and adults—with wonders of science. Exhibits include Kidscience, encouraging youngsters to explore the world; and Gizmo City, a look at how gadgets work. Florida Ecoscapes has a living coral reef, plus sharks, rays, and eels. Runways to Rockets offers stimulating trips to Mars and the moon while nine different cockpit stimulators let you try out your pilot skills. The AutoNation IMAX theater, part of the complex, shows films, some in 3-D, on an 80-foot by 60-foot screen with 15,000 watts of digital surround sound broadcast from 42 speakers.
