Cox Science Center and Aquarium

The Science Center welcomed more than 240,000 visitors last year. The Center features more than 100 interactive exhibits, an immersive fresh and saltwater aquarium, full-dome planetarium, the world's most advanced exhibit on the human brain, and an outdoor science-themed trail.

Provided guest services, a museum store, mini-golf course, planetarium, observatory, and memberships to enhance the visitor's experience. Hosted monthly science-themed community events including adult lectures, afterschool clubs, robotics teams, girls in science clubs, and laser concerts.

The Center served over 150,000 students through outreach education, in-house field trips and family programs and over 25,000 of these students are served through its award-winning STEM night programs in the schools. Our main target for educational grant programming is Palm Beach County School District Title 1 students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The School District is the 10th largest in the nation and almost 45% of the students participating come from under-served communities through grant programming initiatives under a district-wideagreement. The partnership focuses on improvement in student achievement by granting students access to real-world STEM experiences.
