Frost Science Launches Mini-Me Science: Into the Wild Sessions in Miami
The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Miami is introducing an outdoor Mini-Me Science: Into the Wild series that invites children ages three to six and their caregivers to explore South Florida’s natural environments through science-focused activities.
Designed for young learners and their families, the program combines hands-on STEM activities, storytelling and guided nature walks to highlight local ecosystems. Each session lasts about two and a half hours and registration covers one child and two adults, with the option to add older siblings and additional adults for an extra fee. Snacks and water are included, and participants are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.
The series begins with a Florida Coastlines session at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, where families will investigate native wildlife and may observe signs of sea turtle nesting, followed by a Florida Forests session at Ron Ehmann Park that focuses on the region’s Pine Rockland ecosystem and the work of field biologists. The coastlines program is offered in collaboration with the museum’s Museum Volunteers for the Environment initiative and MORAES of South Florida, while the forests session is presented with support from Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces.
Sessions are aimed exclusively at children ages three to six, who must be accompanied by an adult, and space is limited with no refunds or exchanges available. Families can learn more and register for upcoming Mini-Me Science: Into the Wild dates through the Frost Science website.
