A Trip Into Nature...
Miami Museum of Science and Space Transit Planetarium
3280 South Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33129
(305) 646-4200
Nancy Hopkins, October 14, 1999
I had lived down the street from the
museum and planetarium for ten years and
never entered the doors. But, it seems like
the only time I ever get any where is when I
am playing tour guide. This was one of
those trips. A convenient and fun place to
meet up with Cyndi's friend Laura. Laura
worked on the cruise ship as a black-jack
dealer and came into port on Sunday for a
few hours. We picked her up and headed for a trip back into time and nature.

The scenes of the Everglades had me lost in the swamps. The "stuffed" birds are placed in recreations of the primeval Everglades.
I wish I had paid more attention to the details
and the information placed throughout the
displays, explaining and identifying each species.
It is a place of learning that you owe yourself
and your children.
The kids really seemed to enjoy the game room in the back of the museum. There were all sorts of interactive exhibits where learning and playing become one.
I believe this guy is real. Sometimes it was awful hard to tell.
This was definitely not alive. But the amazing detail that come across in this replica, is carried throughout the museum. I especially found intriguing the complicated displays of the mouths of snakes. I took pictures, but they are not pretty.
