Florida Holocaust Museum Description

History takes on new significance at this museum where kids learn about the Holocaust by seeing relics (including books, clothing, and family photos of victims, along with Nazi propaganda films and publications) and hearing the voices of Holocaust survivors as they recount their experiences during World War II. A hand-held audio tour (included in the cost of admission) guides visitors through the museum, providing additional context to the items on display.

Kid Tips

Toddlers & Pre-K: Keep little ones occupied by asking for an extra audio receiver and challenging your toddler to type in the audio tour numbers next to each exhibit. They won't understand the audio content, but will eagerly listen to see if the numbers they enter yields results.

School-Age Kids: Introduce kids ages 5 to 10 to Dali's works during the Breakfast with Dali program, offered the first Saturday of each month. Kids and their parents take an interactive guided tour through the museum that teaches kids about the works through activities and discussion, followed by breakfast with the docent.

Pre-Teens & Teens: High school students can use their visit to the museum to aid in their submission to the Holocaust Remembrance Project essay contest, an annual scholarship competition for students in grades 9 through 12.

Planning Notes

Not for young ones. Although kids of all ages are admitted (and those 6 and under pay no admission fee), the museum is a quiet, solemn space with very little to engage young kids. The museum recommends that kids be in fifth grade or higher.

Parent required. Children younger than 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
