We embark on a breathtaking virtual voyage through the cosmos in our state-of-the-art planetarium. Soar past distant stars, explore alien galaxies, and witness the awe-inspiring beauty of the universe.

Unearth the history of Florida, from its prehistoric origins to the present day, and marvel at the incredible creatures that once roamed our land.

I wish there was an option for 10 stars because that’s what Julie earned. Dealing with Julie and TOP TIER was the most unique , amazing and educational experiences of my life . I worked with my dog and Julie for months prior to taking him home and all I can say is she is absolutely gifted at her trade. The dog is the by far the most disciplined and well behaved dog I’ve ever had,. Both Apollo and Julie were 100% medicine for the soul. Thank you again Julie anything you need please let me know.
