Science Cafés
Come to the Museum's Science Cafés for engaging conversation about a variety of science topics. A comfortable atmosphere provides the setting for these lively monthly discussions January through April. Science Cafés across the nation are most often held in restaurants or pubs. The Florida Museum's spring programs will alternate between two restaurants offering limited menus for café participants:
Leonardo's 706 | 706 W. University Ave | Map
The Warehouse Restaurant and Lounge | 502 S. Main St. | Map
To help plan for these free programs (participants purchase their own food and beverage), please RSVP at least one week in advance of the café date with your name and the number attending by emailing: skelly@flmnh.ufl.edu or calling Stephanie Kelly at 352-273-2085.
