Visitors can explore the 11,000 square foot nature trail and learn about Florida's Everglades in the Living in the Everglades exhibit. The Runways to Rockets exhibit educates visitors in space science, and features simulated trips to the Moon or Mars. The IMAX theater has many Earth science films that correlate with programming. Onsite outreach programs include topics on Earth science, botany, physics and the environment, with an educators guide available as a PDF online.
