“THE BISHOP MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND NATURE” – D’S BREAKFAST & BURGERS RESTAURANT (OYO) – Bradenton

Activity Level: 3

The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature is a natural history museum specializing in the history of Florida’s Gulf Coast. It houses exhibits highlighting Florida history from prehistoric to the present. The Museum also features The Planetarium, the Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat, the Mosaic Backyard Universe and a constantly changing lineup of temporary exhibitions – offering something new to discover with each visit!

The Planetarium at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature is the premier astronomy facility on Florida’s west coast. Enjoy an immersive experience in our 50-foot full-dome theater with our incredible Digistar 6 software and dual projection system. The combination of our system and the size of our dome enables us to recreate a breathtaking, dark-sky environment.

Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature holds 60,000 gallons of water and houses manatees that were rescued from the wild after they became sick or injured. This exhibition allows above and underwater viewing and offers guests information about the anatomy and life history of manatees, including the challenges they face in the wild. The Museum’s Parker Manatee Aquarium is a second stage rehabilitation facility.
We will have a guided walking tour of the museum, Planetarium show, and Manatee Presentation.

Lunch after the museum at D’s Breakfast & Burgers (OYO). Menu in office and on website.
