Fodor's Review:

Snooty, the oldest manatee in captivity, is the headliner here. Programs about the endangered marine mammals run four times daily. View changing exhibits such as digital images of water and other natural resources in the East Gallery; glass cases and roll-out drawers on the 2nd floor allow you to look at exhibits normally out of public view. At the Bishop Planetarium (with a domed-theater screen), programs presented range from black holes to Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and other rockers.

Cost: $15.95
Open: Jan.-Apr. and July, Mon.-Sat. 10-5, Sun. noon-5; May-June and Aug.-Dec., Tues.-Sat. 10-5, Sun. noon-5
