Mary HealyI was looking to "kill some time" while my husband attended a conference and hit upon this treasure! I spent 3 hours here, throughly enjoying my time highlights for me: The Cuban art room, the Florida Natural History section, live feed of the coral reef, Coca-Cola exhibit, including the train cars and my absolute favorite, the separate building on the grounds of the Art of Florida. And both buildings are on beautiful wooded grounds. Just terrific.

Chris AvellarI was trying to find activities for our non verbal daughter over this summer and came to find out the museum offers a “Sensory Sunday” and decided to give it a shot. The staff were very friendly and actually let us in a little earlier than they were supposed to because it was so hot outside. The lady who checked us in was extremely kind and gracious when my daughter shot over to the gift shop and had a little meltdown. She was very understanding and said “this is what today is for” which made me feel at ease. The experience was great and my daughter had a good time. It’s definitely not a full day thing, maybe an hour tops but they have some very interesting things to see. The train section is really cool! We missed the planetarium show but I’m sure it’s awesome. Thank you MOAS for a wonderful experience!

Victoria VonI had an amazing experience at the MOAS in Daytona! The exhibits are beautifully curated, offering a perfect blend of art, history, and science. The planetarium show was breathtaking, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The museum is well-maintained, and the outdoor gardens provide a peaceful retreat. It’s a fantastic place to explore for all ages. Highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!

Keene MThere is so much amazing stuff in this museum! We spent 3 hours there. We started out with a show in the planetarium. We saw and learned about moons in our galaxy. There were huge bugs and skeletons. Beautiful cars, paintings and furniture. The is an extensive exhibit of Coke bottles and Coke advertising pieces. The Cuban exhibit has many beautiful paintings and explains the roots of Ybor City as a Cuban cigar center.

EVIL TWIN 67A definite destination if you’re in the Daytona Beach area! I’ve driven by here several times while in the area for work but never stopped u til my adult kids asked to go. We were all pleasantly surprised to see how extensive the collections were in the various galleries and were very glad that we opted to buy tickets to the planetarium to watch a presentation. The Audubon exhibit is a definite must see but make sure to get the free audio device that explains the history or if you’re lucky, like we were, get a live tour! We were very impressed by the art but were even more appreciative after we learned of how hard it was to create each individual piece of art. We will definitely come by again next time we’re in the area.
