Orlando Science Center - Orlando, Florida

A fantastic spot where kids can both learn and have fun!
The third floor features an exciting area for kids aged 8 and up to create and film their own one-minute movie.
Highly recommend taking the kids to the movie-making section — it’s a must-visit!

This is an interactive science museum with more hands-on items than exhibits. This is great for keeping kids active as well as challenging them to think about how to solve the many puzzles.

If you have a few hours, this is a great stop that is not one of the BIG attractions in the area. It is not big, so if there with middle aged to older kids, you can do everything before lunch. Before you go double-check exhibit closers as the dinosaurs exhibit was closed in January 2025.

The Orlando Science Center holds a special place in my heart — my wife and I got married here in February 2020! It was the perfect blend of fun, unique, and unforgettable — just like the couples I get to photograph here. Every time I come back to capture weddings, it feels like a mini homecoming. From saying "I do" on the terrace with a stunning view of the Orlando skyline to celebrating next to towering dinosaurs, this venue is a dream for anyone looking for something bold and out of the ordinary. The staff is always incredible, and the spaces are full of personality, making every wedding day feel like an adventure. If you're looking for a venue that's as fun and quirky as you are, the Science Center is the spot. Can't wait to be back again soon — camera in hand, of course!

This museum is awesome for children and adults ages five and up. They are really aren’t much activities for ages 2 to 4. The experiences for the rest of us are science experiments, animals, doing slime, almost like an investigation escape room. There are dinosaur bones, places where kids can dig up fossils, an airplane simulator, egg drop, there’s coloring pages too. There’s some alligator on the first floor. They are plenty of restrooms, and a cafeteria on the ground floor. There are elevators and places for wheelchairs. The weight at the cafeteria was extremely long, especially if it’s a busy day. The pizza didn’t taste very well and most of the food was very spicy. They were feeding the alligators too, and we saw that but we don’t know what time so you might see them feeding the alligators.

What a spectacular building, definitely one of Orlando’s best attractions for locals and tourists alike. The renovation that included the ocean, the swamp and the rainforest is amazing. You get up very close to wildlife. Everything is interactive, very cool for families and small kids. Definitely recommend!

I was visiting my family in Orlando and decided to visit the Orlando Science Center with my God-daughter. The Orlando Science Center is a fun interactive learning center focusing on experiences that can be fun for both children and adults. It is located in downtown Orlando, and has a large parking building next to it (there are parking fees). It consists of three floors with a variety of learning environments, such a Dino Dig, animal environment, Florida Everglades animal pool, a level full of puzzles, interactive Earth environments and maps, etc. A family can enjoy many hours of fun activities! They also have science shows and science fiction movies, all. Included in the admissions fee. There is also, of course, a gift shop with moderately priced mementos, stuffed animals, puzzles, etc. We had a lot of fun.. I recommend it!

It was amazing! So many activities, programs, and interactive exhibits to see. We were there for 4 1/2 hours and didn't even get to see everything. My 10-year-old loved it as well. Entertaining programs and fun activities for big and little kids. My parents also enjoyed several of the films in the theater. We will definitely be returning when we come back to Orlando. I highly recommend.

After going to other children’s museums with my wife and toddler, this was by far the best. Also the cleanest and most reasonably priced with endless activities. I had to come back and give it 5 stars after experiencing other “not so great” other children’s museums. This one is definitely worth it. My boy could have spent 3 days strait here and still be entertained
