I had the opportunity to visit the Titanic exhibit at South Florida PBS. I found that the exhibit provided a great deal of information about the building of the Titanic, as well as what happened to cause the Titanic's destruction. It also gave me a lot of information as to why there were so many passengers who died. I want to thank YELP for allowing me to attend this informative presentation.

Really cool experience. Do NOT bring kids under 16 years old. Remember you can stand during the video presentations. The seating doesn't have seat backs and can get uncomfortable. The show lasts an hour between the two sessions they show. Then after they send you to their shop to buy shit you don't need but you can take some cool photos with the fake statues they have there.

This was a really nice experience. Who knew we had something like this so close to home? It's great to see places like this dedicated to sharing knowledge with others. The staff was very friendly, and the presentation they gave us was really enjoyable. I hope more people visit and support places like this so they can continue to thrive.

The Pharaohs of Egypt exhibit has to have been one of the most beautiful things I've experienced. Such an amazing experience in such a beautiful space. Can't wait to see what other immersive experiences are offered in the future!

There are a few side trails branching off the main paths that are quieter and worth taking if you have time. I loved that there were plenty of rest areas that felt silent and peaceful -- great for taking a break and just soaking it all in. The koi pond was a highlight too. The landscaping is serene and really well kept, with lots of spots that make you want to stop and take it in. I really enjoyed it for a peaceful stroll and ended up taking a ton of nature pictures -- the light, the greenery, and the traditional architecture all make for great photos. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a calm, scenic experience.

We spent our time visiting the Japanese gardens. It was excruciatingly hot the day we visited. We were glad for the frequent benches to stop and rest. We enjoyed the beauty of the various gardens. Especially liked the bamboo grove as my husband got to explain to a few folks a bit about bamboo and the ingenuity of his grandfather using bamboo on his farm in Georgia as irrigation conduits. The sign saying don't carve the bamboo next to a carved stalk was ironic... In addition to the various plant gardens, there were the rock gardens, the waterfalls, and the pine forest. Liked seeing the koi fish and turtles. Another highlight was the bonsai exhibit. Throughout the winding path, there were stone lanterns and small wooden huts. At the entrance to the area with the original 1977 museum is a laughing Buddha statue of Hotei, the god of happiness. Smaller than expected, you might miss it the first time you pass by. As a caveat, prepare for lots of walking. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat or carry a parasol, sunglasses. They have a couple areas with steps, but there is an alternative "easier" path for strollers or handicapped. And if possible, come when it's cooler. I'm glad we walked the entire perimeter. But for someone very much out of shape, I know I'll be feeling my achy muscles. I'm glad we got this brief glimpse into the history and culture of the Japanese in South Florida. It's one of the most distinctive tourist attractions in our area.

If you have patience and a good vocabulary, you will benefit from the tour guide's explanation of what they have and learn a lot. Small children may not have the patience or language ability to grasp what they are being told. The museum is located in a store front inside the Wellington Mall. It is not far from the food court and near to the Penny's Department store. You will find it by walking down the small corridor. There is an admission for adults and for children. They do give a veteran's discount on tickets. And we did tip the tour guide, as a courtesy, as well. They do have a small play area with a movie on a monitor that kids might like. Plus they can "pet" a dinosaur and enjoy all the models and pictures -- plus the museum store has some interesting items for kids. If you do take the tour, you will learn a lot about the dinosaur they have there -- nicknamed "Cheryl". Some parts are actual fossils and some parts have been recreated. And you will also learn about the relative sizes of various animals and other dinosaurs -- As well as a bit of history and science along the way. I'm glad we went.

There are two levels, filled with classic and collector's pinball machines going back several decades. There are also a ton of retro video games from my youth. There are bars upstairs and downstairs, and I believe food is available as well. Parking can be a little tricky, but by having a little patience, you'll find a spot soon enough. There is a public lot just adjacent to the arcade. Your admission gets you access to all the pinballs, video games, and skee ball. I'd plan for at least two hours to enjoy all the games. The people who work the register are quite nice. If you go on their website and join their mailing list, they frequently have deals for tickets or gift cards. Their specials are very generous and can make for an affordable and fun night out. I would probably visit here more often if I lived near Delray. Silverball is quite unique and definitely a great family spot.

All you have to do is show them your BoA card and picture ID and you can get in for free. The special exhibit is on display until April 14th so you have a few more weekends to check it out. The Titanic exhibit is included in the museums general admission and it is located in the newly expanded exhibit hall. This touring exhibitions is an extension of TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition, which has permanent collections on display in Las Vegas and Orlando. The RMS Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, from Southampton England. It was the most luxurious and technologically advanced ship of its time. On April 14, 1912, at 11:40pm, it struck an iceberg and sank 2 hours and 40 minutes later on April 15th. It is believed at least 1,500 lives were lost. Titanic the Artifact Exhibition uses 81 artifacts recovered from the wreck 2.5 miles below the oceans surface to tell the story of the doomed ship. You can pick up a boarding pass before you enter the exhibit and at the end you can scan it and see if your passenger survived the voyage. Exhibits give you information about the ship but also about the class structure of the time. The third class recreated bunk room stands in stark contrast to the opulent first class state room. You can also see the menus for the third class, second class, and first class. In another exhibit you can touch an iceberg. A White Star Line plate, first class chandelier, and a passengers shoe are some of the items you will see. In the last room I discovered the fate of my passenger British born Emily Alice Brown Goldsmith. Emily was taken by her husband Frank to the boat deck before boarding Collapsible C with her son Frankie. Sadly Frank perished but Emily and her son survived. Emily resettled in Detroit and passed away in 1955 on a train trip to visit Frankie.

Last week, everything came together and we were finally able to stop by the museum after a nearby lunch. The museum is located on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton. We've passed by many time going east on the avenue. There is metered parking on the side streets. The museum is in the hundred year old plus Delray School House. We entered and were greeted by the docent/volunteer. She told us a little about the building's history and which classrooms were originally located where before the remodeling was done. She also told us that they have no permanent exhibits, and that all the art work in the building was for sale. If you were interested in buying something, you should inquire about the price of the piece in the museum store. The first floor was occupied with works by the American artist, Dorothy Gillespie. Although she was a painter, she also worked in many different media. She was well known for her creative, colorful metal works of art. One quote compares her level of metal craft and skill as equal to Chihuly and his glassworks. On the second floor -- yes, there is a big staircase, but we took the elevator from inside the gift shop/store -- are works by Chilean-born Gustavo Novoa. Approximately 30 paintings show colorful, luxurious jungle scenes with animals. The volunteer said his art reminded her of the lushness of Gauguin's paintings. On second floor, there is also an exhibit of mosaics from a Mexican school. They are portraits of famous people -- actors, singers, etc. You will recognize most of them. The tiny pieces are put together in intricate patterns to form the faces. In some of them, they incorporate other materials -- like a piece of jewelry as a broach, leather as clothing, etc. They are fascinating to view up close first and then step back to see the overall portrait. The exhibits rotate periodically. The museum entrance is free, but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person which we happily paid. I'm glad we finally got a chance to visit.
