点评:What a disappointment. $26.00 for adults and $22.00 for children.
We went there because our granddaughter wanted to visit an aquarium. The COX aquarium's few tanks are hardly larger than you would see at any upscale commercial tropical fish retail store ( Look at the photo on their website )
Beyond the 'Aquarium' are cheaply crafted 'put the square blocks in the square hole' puzzles for kids. The cheapest type of displays available.
An entire area that was about the same size as the 'Aquarium' was for folding paper airplanes and throwing them. It was a very inexpensive way to divert the kids attention away from absolute boredom.
Except for the visual reality flight consoles ( five minutes) , I cannot imagine a child over seven years old that would enjoy the museum. The same consoles are available at Dave and Busters for a lot less money.
There was a notice that they were preparing for a new exhibition 'Shark Week' for the next week. Maybe visiting exhibitions are better than Cox's permanent ones.
One last thing. they listed on their calendar (June 2nd) that there was a Deli Food truck and an Ice cream truck onsite for lunch. We intended to eat our lunch at the museum. There was no food truck..............My Grandkid's lunch was an overpriced ice cream twirl. ( Lunch later at 'Benny's on the Beach'. It is on the Lake Worth Pier, about fifteen minutes away.
Apparently the museum is in the midst of a huge building expansion. Who the heck was inspired enough to donate money to such a terribly structured enterprise.
IF YOU CAN'T MAKE SOMETHING BETTER, THEN JUST MAKE IT BIGGER.
P,S, The wonderful Palm Beach Zoo is only minutes away. Go there !
It is absolutely fantastic !

我们去那里是因为我们的孙女想参观水族馆。COX水族馆的几个水箱几乎和你在任何一家高档商业热带鱼零售店看到的一样大(看看他们网站上的照片)。
“水族馆”之外是一些廉价制作的儿童拼图,比如“把方块放进方孔里”。这是最便宜的展示方式。
一整块和“水族馆”差不多大小的区域是用来折纸飞机和扔纸飞机的。这是一种非常便宜的方式,可以转移孩子们的注意力,让他们远离无聊的时光。
除了视觉现实飞行控制台(五分钟)之外,我无法想象一个七岁以上的孩子会喜欢这个博物馆。同样的控制台在Dave and Busters有售,价格要便宜得多。
他们正在准备下周举办一个名为“鲨鱼周”的新展览。也许参观展览比参观考克斯的永久展览更好。
最后一件事。他们在日历上(6月2日)列出现场有熟食餐车和冰淇淋餐车提供午餐。我们打算在博物馆吃午饭。没有餐车……我孙子的午餐是一个价格过高的冰淇淋卷。(稍后在“海滩上的本尼餐厅”吃午饭。它位于沃斯湖码头,大约十五分钟路程。
显然,博物馆正在进行大规模的建筑扩建。到底是谁这么有胆量,竟然捐钱给这样一个结构糟糕的企业。
如果你不能把事情做得更好,那就把它做得更大。
P、S,美妙的棕榈滩动物园离这里只有几分钟的路程。去那里吧!
那里真是太棒了!
