Hands-on Fort Myers museum with aquariums, live presentations, interactive exhibits, and enough indoor activity to fill a half-day family outing.
Editorial notes
What stands out
A very good rainy-day or heat-day backup when you want indoor movement and discovery, but the visit feels more museum day than playground drop-in.
