We had an excellent visit to the Jellyfish Museum! It was fascinating for both the kids and adults, and I highly recommend doing the group tour. It truly is the best way to experience the museum and learn about these incredible creatures. Naftali was amazing! She kept my children, my husband, and me completely engaged while explaining so many fascinating facts and clearing up myths about jellyfish. We learned how jellyfish function without a brain, heart, or lungs, and how scientists are studying them for their potential role in understanding regeneration and developing future medical treatments. It was educational, interactive, and genuinely interesting for our entire family. We walked away looking at jellyfish in a completely different way. Definitely take the tour! read more

Jellyfish Museum - Museums Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

The Jellyfish Museum is definitely one of a kind! My fiancé and I visited on a Friday afternoon, and it wasn't very busy so we got to explore almost all of the exhibits on our own. The museum is relatively small so don't expect to spend all day here. We spent about 1.5 hours here and visited at a leisurely pace. The jellyfish are so mesmerizing to watch, and we loved reading all of the information about each species of jellyfish on exhibit. Note that the parking at the museum is paid parking--I spent $5 for two hours, and it's paid through a website. I did not see any parking meters. The single best experience of our visit was the tour guide, Naphtalie. We didn't purchase a tour, but that didn't stop her from engaging with us, sharing fun facts about the jellyfish, and answering any questions we had about them! It was so fun learning from her, and makes me want to purchase a tour for my next visit! She told us that she is the main tour guide, so chances are that if you book a tour, she would be the one leading it. Naphatalie is extremely knowledgeable and an absolute joy to talk to. One last bit of advice: make sure you arrive well within your chosen ticket window! We arrived 7 minutes past our ticket time and their check-in system wouldn't allow us to check in. The receptionist was very kind and let us through anyway. However, I wouldn't count on that. read more

Excellent educational brief outing. Great picture and video opportunities of fascinating creatures. Cool gift shop items including: t-shirts, jewelry, toys, plushies, puzzles, keychains, magnets, etc. Convenient parking. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly associates. Florida resident discount available but cheaper purchase options exist. Only a few small kidsize seating cubes at puzzle table and large bean bag floor seating in projection area. No seating for adults or less flexible guests. Parking is no longer free. Online booking is confusing, ticket purchases offered for defined 4-hour timeslots. Gift shop prices are expensive, e.g. $35 for t-shirt. read more

Great quick outting. Very educational for all Jellyfish, great place for entire family, an adult is 1 hr of fun, kids gets 2 hrs max, over 15 years old, 30 to 40 min max. Downside: no seats, they should put in more benches. Seniors have no place to rest. Cute store, mostly overpriced. Also you would expect more interactive stations. Kids could use more tactile stations, puzzles etc. Also there is no QR guide. It would be nice if each jellyfish had a QR code to get a download or view on phone. STRANGE: Now we had a strange or aggressive docent/ museum guide/ educator...she walked up once and said ....hi got any questions....I politely said no...then in 10 min she saw me again, there's so much to know any more questions. To humor her I said, sure how do you feel them. Well shr told me, then in another spot 10 min later, any more questions. Now you are ANNOYING. A better approach is, " GlFid you know that X .. " you can share what you know about where Im standing verses asking me. She bordered on aggressive. I won't remove a star for a nutty maybe odd duck who works there. There is always a fine line between helpful and annoying and very smart people, Im one, teeter on it often LOL. You love the topic so much, you want yo vomit it out at alll costs. So, I will leave it there! Enjoy, have fun! Not sure as an adult it merits a wnd visit, great quick senior date for "edutainmemt". you can learn and have fun. Any age grouo, great 1 hr date place for $20 each right before a meal. Young kids could go 3 or 4 times under 7 or 10, but over 10 it could be boring after 2 hrs and a 2nd visit is not needed read more

I would give it ten stars if I could!! This was an absolute amazing visit, and it was well worth the travel. My daughter is obsessed with jellyfish and while I may not know everything, I found the signs around very informative and helpful! The staff were helpful, and I would highly recommend taking a tour. I really can't overstate how lovely our guide Naphtali was. Some may say that they passed through quickly, but we stayed and were entertained for three hours. The only "warning" I would give is that there were lots of families with young kids, so be careful where you step! Small and could probably be walked through in 30+ minutes if you didn't read everything. But the information and details are well done. read more

This was a very cool place to visit on the hot days of summer. It was nice right by the beach but it was small and very expensive for what it was. It was very much a one and done for my family. The colors are mesmerizing and it is beautiful but for what we paid, I wanted so much more. read more

A jellyfish museum in Pompano Beach! I came with my godson, cousins, and partner on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. They have a Florida resident discount and grabbing a ticket at the front was easy. The museum as a whole isn't too big but a good size for being a museum all about jellyfish. I think this is a great spot to take kids if you're in the area! I have an adoration for jellyfish (from afar) so it was really cool seeing all the different species and learning about them. They had really cool interactive spots where my godson spent a good amount of time. Even I was enamored by the interactive space. A really cool spot for a photo! There was also another large room right before exiting where they had more jelly fish and a large projection on some of the walls. There was also a table where kids could sit and do some puzzles. There's a gift shop at the end, as well. Parking was a breeze with a pretty sizeable lot where the museum is located within. Overall, a cute addition to Pompano and a fun spot for young kids! read more

What a lovely museum. Brand new to Pompano Beach and the first jellyfish museum of its kind in the United States. It was created by a husband and wife originally from Ukraine. This will become a major tourist attraction for Pompano Beach due to its uniqueness. Just fyi seniors and Florida residents get a small discount. It is fairly expensive, but if you like anything marine related this should be on your "to see" list. Tours are offered and they are well worth taking the time to learn more about the displays and specimens. Naftalia was well versed and easily explained the differences and characteristics. If she's there, try to take one of her tours! Who knew there were so many types and related types. Some have arms and some have both tentacles and arms. Some can grow huge. Some are just pretty to look at. Some are asexual and some may even be able to choose their gender. Some are hazardous to fishing. Some are hazardous -- or venomous -- to man. All are fascinating. The museum has their own free parking lot right outside the museum. This makes a visit convenient. So glad I stopped by to see this new and interesting museum. read more

The Jellyfish Museum in Pompano Beach is truly stunning and offers a very unique, relaxing experience. While I did find it to be quite expensive for what it is, the beauty of the exhibits and the peaceful atmosphere made it memorable. What really made our visit special was a chance encounter with a guide, Naphtalie. That young lady has forgotten more about jellyfish than I will ever know! Her expertise was immediately evident, and she shared an incredible amount of knowledge with genuine enthusiasm. She was kind, impressive, and clearly passionate about both the jellyfish and the guests' experience. It was obvious that she truly cares about what she does. If you enjoy unusual attractions, beautiful displays, and a calm environment, this is definitely worth experiencing at least once. read more

This place is very cool and fun to look at but small and not worth the hefty admission fee. Even with a teachers discount it came to 70 dollars for 3 people. I could see that for a larger museum that price but this isn't big enough. The exhibits are cool but small and the signage is difficult to read in some areas. There was a nice staff member who answered our questions. The parking is free so that's also a plus but make sure you scan the inside sign. There's also only 2 single stall bathrooms in the entire place. Overall it's a cool tourist attraction but needs a price decrease to be worth the visit. read more

Jellyfish Museum was a very cool experience. I bought the admission tickets for two adults online and we were admitted almost right away. We were able to see various kinds of jelly fish from up close which was a unique experience. They have different jelly fish tanks with descriptions of where they can be found in the world and how they are. There were a lot of kids running around and screaming so it was hard to have a conversation with my fiancee. There was no restraint and kids were able to be kids. The whole walk through was short. The place seemed decent size from the outside but even with us talking our time, we were finished in half an hour. Based on how cool the whole experience was we would definitely visit again in the future with our nieces and nephews. The place offers limited parking so it's a bit inconvenient, but as I have shared, the experience is quick so you choose to wait. read more

The good is that the parking was free, it was dark and well air conditioned, so a nice retreat on a hot day. The bad is that is was pretty expensive and even when taking our time our family was done in an hour. It was more of an Instagram spot/ jellyfish art experience than a museum. Didn't feel it was an educational experience. There was a place to see how your measurement up to the largest jelly fish, but it wasn't set accurately on the floor so you looked shorter than you were. And a few of the signs were hard to read (7ft in the air) or the sentence structure was off. read more

We didn't a mini staycation and stayed at the Tru by Hilton across the street. The Jelly museum is easy to find but what I loved is that we made it a weekend adventure. We were able to do the museum, beach, park all in one. The museum is right across from the hotel so it's easy to walk to. My son was super exited and when we arrived, it was very easy to buy tickets right at the front. They have plenty of parking if you drive. They did have Florida resident specials and senior specials which I didn't notice until after for my parents. You can also buy your tickets online. The museum itself isn't that large, so if you're going with a very active child, they will probably zoom in and out of it in like 15 minutes which is why I didn't think it was worth it. However, he did love it and wants to go back. The displays are beautiful and very nice family photo oops with the heart. Of course, we also got him a little jelly fish at the gift store. Overall, great family adventure but would I pay for my son to run through it again in 10-15 minutes probably not but definitely a must do once. read more

Who knew there was such thing as a Jellyfish Museum in Pompano Beach?! The museum is two blocks off the beach in a former bank building. There is free parking in their lot. Tickets are $24 for adults, but Florida residents are $21. There are many aquariums filled with different jellyfish. There is a sign beside each describing the jellyfish, how large they get and where they live. There is a small gift shop as you exit. There are some great photo ops. We were able to see and read about all the jellyfish in less than one hour. read more

I wrote a note so good review the first time I went with my older sister . I then again brought out of town quests with my 12 yr old grand daughter and my 12 yr old nephew The mother of my 'grand 'nephew was memorized and the kids loved hanging out of the bean bag chairs .. and I also agree that there was limited seats at the puzzle table and a lot of the puzzles were not in good shape. Maybe they could be replaced. I also love the fact that the book "Sophia and Bob quote was written by my nine year-old niece and is in your gift shop. So my second visit was definitely better than my first. read more

Well , it was our first time here , and I must say it's very interesting who knew there were so many different types of jellyfish! It's $20 a person if you're an adult.II'm not sure if it's worth it , but a lot of money went into building this museum. I woudn't bring a 3-year-old there.However, 8-year-old, twelve-year-old OK. it's very interesting and very pretty.I totally recommend at least one time! read more

This is a must see if you're visiting Pompano Beach I highly recommend it 10 out of 10. It's absolutely gorgeous inside seeing all the different types of jelly fish was so cool. I believe it's 25 per person. Definitely worth the hype. read more

My wife has been watching the progress of this museum since it was first announced. It appears to be housed in what was once a Bank,(Drive thru remnants still present in the rear of structure), and a private parking lot for customers. My wife found a tour guide who gave a private tour and explained the various types of jellyfish along with their individual characteristics. The parking was 80% full, with a steady stream of customers coming and going while we were there. They should do well as an attraction for Pompano Beach. read more

We went to the Jellyfish Museum on a fieldtrip for Homeschool. Admission is quite expensive considering it's very small and can be done in 30 minutes. And I was going to rate it 3 stars because of this but gave 4 only because of our private guide - Naphtalie. However, we had to pay extra for this private tour. While it was extremely informative and Naphtalie is a marine wizard - had we not had her there (or paid for it), it would've been a bust. There are a ton of jellyfish and it really is a beautiful museum. I just think that it should be less expensive (especially for Florida residents) or add more to it. But kuddos to Nathlalie - our homeschoolers learned a ton! read more

A very nice museum next to the pompano pier. Beautiful building with lots of exhibits. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area.

Cool experience and super informative. The layout is simple to navigate and you can get through it in 30 mins. I think it's a must do activity in pompano beach but once you've gone you've seen it all. It's just a little small for the price. read more

I definately recommend the museum to anyone who is in the area. read more

We took our two grandchildren today. It's very small and overpriced. It's underwhelming. The whole thing took us about 45 mins. My grandson was $19. My granddaughter was free and my husband and I were 20$ each. It is cool to look at but the kids were only interested for a brief time. They do have an interactive screen that they enjoyed running around on. Other than that it's like a big fish store. It's nice that it's in the AC and parking is free. I would skip going and find something better to do. read more

Super cool place to go as an adult or to bring the kids. There's free parking in the back and they have a fair amount of jellyfish tanks. They are so cool to watch it. Sit there all day and watch them. I hope it stays. It's a great addition to Pompano. read more

Four stars, minus one only because they encourage you to get tickets online ahead of time and then the website says you can only change them 24 hours in advance. I goofed and got tickets for a Saturday instead of Sunday and called to change them. No one answers the phone. Instead, you get a recorded message telling you to contact them online. So we had to swap our plans and go Sat as to not waste the tickets. When we arrived, and asked about that, the person taking the tickets said "Oh you could have just shown up on Sunday, we would have accepted them." Later i did receive an email from them saying the same thing, but since the website says ticket changes ONLY 24 hours in advance and you can't change them after... Otherwise, a fascinating visit. Jellyfish from around the world illuminated by neon lights. It's quite dark inside, and otherworldly. Each tank of jellyfish has a plaque explaining everything about them, from the range of temperatures in the water to habitat to their danger to humans. Educational and fun. They are still fairly new - only opened recently - and I understand there are always kinks to work out. My recommendation, since no one answers the phone when you call during operational hours, is to update the website to let people know they can change their tickets, as long as they are used the following day. read more
