The mission of the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) is Connecting People to Inspiring Science. We fulfill our mission by delivering programming through four major educational content pillars: Early Childhood Education, Environmental Sustainability, Health & Wellness, and Physical Science.
Founded in 1976, the Museum welcomes 400,000+ visitors annually at its 150,000 square foot facility in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s Arts and Science District. Visitors can explore interactive permanent exhibits, discover a myriad of science shows and lectures, immerse themselves in the AutoNation IMAX 3D Theater (the largest, most technically advanced screen in South Florida), and participate in award-winning camps, workshops, and special events.
MODS has been accredited by the American Alliance of Museums for over 30 years and is an active member of the Association of Science-Technology Centers and Association of Children’s Museums.
