Very informative with lists of artifacts including a box car. Staff was very pleasant. I was surprised to see a remembrance/prayer room at the end where you could reflect on your thoughts and feelings. Upstairs was an art gallery as well as an interactive Q&A with survivors that was previously taped. Gift shop was smaller, but seemed to have something for everyone.

I cannot properly put into words how incredible my experience was here. I was greeted by Ms. Kay-Lynne Taylor, who was so kind, helpful, and provided me with a wealth of information. During our conversation, I let her know I decided to become a member and that I am a teacher. She then provided me with brochures and cards and talked about next steps for field trips and who to talk to for resources for my students. Additionally, I brought my 2-year old daughter, which I was hesitant to do, for obvious reasons. This museum deserves reverence and somberness. However, Ms. Taylor did not show any kind of negativity towards a toddler being in the museum. It was the total opposite. She was so sweet to her, and when we parted ways and started to go into the museum, my daughter gave her a hug, which is something she doesn't usually do to people she doesn't know. It made me want to cry (in a good way). The museum itself has an outstanding collection, and it is put together so well. There are photos, documents, bricks from Auschwitz, prisoner clothing, the boxcar, the room with a boxcar, the story behind the boxcar, artwork, shoes, a letter from Einstein...like I said, an outstanding collection. I could spend hours in there and will be going back as soon as I can. The staff do a phenomenal job of maintaining the memories to make sure this generation and future generations never forget the atrocities that occurred during the Holocaust. The Florida Holocaust Museum is worth the trip, time, and any kind of financial donation you can give. You will be met with some of the most brilliant staff who care about you and your experience. My only recommendation...expand the gift shop so museum patrons can purchase and support in more ways!

Took our son for his birthday. He's very intrigued with the WW2 Era and Holocaust. Glad he could learn even more today. The 3rd floor was closed for repairs but plan to go back soon.

Is this suitable for a 7 year old

Pretty sophistcated text , imagery, and artifacts. Would require a great deal of interpretation and a not-too-restless 7-year-old.
