点评:The Florida Museum of Natural History is a nice museum located on the University of Florida campus.
Admission is free (fee charged for the butterfly rainforest). Confirm hours before your visit. Free parking during holiday weekend (small parking lot shared by performing arts center, art museum and natural history museum) - confirm parking fees as signs were confusing. We spent one hour at the museum. Although the museum is located on a university campus, I feel its target audience is families with young and pre-teen children.
There are a wide range of exhibits - highlights include a large room of fossils (scary giant sloth skeletons - many of the skeletons appear to be casts of fossils), a recreated marsh, life size and oversized dioramas and a thatched building staging a ceremony of the Calusa people. There is also a two story butterfly aviary attached to museum (it was too cold to see the butterflies who were keeping warm instead of flying around the aviary). A large play area is set aside for toddlers and young children.
翻译:佛罗里达自然历史博物馆是一座位于佛罗里达大学校园内的漂亮博物馆。
免费入场(蝴蝶雨林收费)。请在参观前确认时间。节假日周末免费停车(表演艺术中心、艺术博物馆和自然历史博物馆共用一个小型停车场)——确认停车费,因为标志令人困惑。我们在博物馆呆了一个小时。虽然博物馆位于大学校园内,但我觉得它的目标受众是有年幼和青春期前儿童的家庭。
展品种类繁多——亮点包括一间大化石室(可怕的巨型树懒骨架——许多骨架看起来像是化石的铸模)、重建的沼泽、真人大小和超大立体模型以及一座正在举行卡卢萨人仪式的茅草屋。博物馆旁边还有一个两层的蝴蝶鸟舍(天气太冷,看不到蝴蝶在取暖,而不是在鸟舍里飞来飞去)。为幼儿和儿童留出了一个大型游乐区。
