Our expansion is underway! Thank you to the The Palm Beach Post for highlighting our major expansion on the front page of the paper!

At the Cox Science Center & Aquarium, we’re growing our impact to inspire the next generation of thinkers, explorers, and innovators. This inside look reveals what’s coming soon. From a reimagined exhibition gallery, to enhanced learning spaces, and one of Florida’s largest aquariums. The future of science is taking shape.

Curiosity is still in motion! Unleash the fun with Cats & Dogs, explore our 10,000-gallon Aquariums of the Atlantic, take flight, build, explore, and discover, inside and out. No matter your age or interest, there’s something for everyone at the Cox Science Center & Aquarium.

Meet the artists behind our Founders’ Day Festival mural! 🎨

We’re excited to welcome Jose R. Mendez and Mary Glazier, two talented local artists bringing their creativity, culture, and community spirit to our 65th anniversary celebration!

Jose R. Mendez is a self-taught artist, educator, curator, muralist, and community cultural leader. As co-founder of Día de Mu***os Lake Worth Beach and Taco Fiesta, Jose creates cultural experiences that connect art, heritage, education, and community.

Mary Glazier is a West Palm Beach-based collage and placemaking artist who transforms overlooked spaces, archival photos, and reclaimed materials into playful, meaningful works of art. She is also the founder of Gurferlady, a women’s surf community that combines creativity, connection, and Florida’s coastal culture.

Now, they’re bringing their unique artistic styles to the Cox Science Center & Aquarium for Founders’ Day! We can’t wait to see what they create.

Our Founders' Day Week is sponsored by Palm Beach County, Tourist Development Council, and Cultural Council for Palm Beach County.

Think you know your pets? Think again! 🐾

Get ready to uncover the secrets of your favorite furry companions in Cats & Dogs, an interactive exhibition that explores the surprising science behind the pets we love most.

Plus we’re extending our $2 off admission while we expand the Science Center — it’s a limited-time offer as we build what’s next.
