You can’t spend all-day, every day on a beach. When spending a week’s long vacation in Florida (the average length trip) you’ll surely have a couple of “free” days where the family wants to explore the local area. There’s plenty of art, culture, and must-see museums in every city.
We’ve compiled a list of our absolute favorites. We based our list on exhibits, pricing, visitor reviews, and more. We highly encourage you to stop in to any of these award-winning museums on your next trip to the Sunshine State. Congrats to all our winners!
