About
The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature sits in downtown Bradenton and serves the Tampa Bay region as a natural history museum focused on Florida's environment and scientific discovery. The museum houses a 50-foot full-dome planetarium theater for astronomy programs, a rehabilitation habitat where you can observe rescued manatees, and the Mosaic Backyard Universe, an interactive space for hands-on science and engineering exploration. Exhibits trace Florida's natural history from the Pleistocene era through today. The museum runs Science Camp, homeschool programs, student field trips, adult group tours, and special evening laser light programs. It's a place where families and school groups come to learn about the natural world and how science works, with particular focus on the ecosystems and wildlife of Florida's Gulf Coast.
