Educational Family Fun at Fort Myers IMAG History and Science Center
In 2017, two great Fort Myers attractions—Imaginarium Science Center and the Southwest Florida Museum of History joined together to provide one combined attraction with fun for everyone. Located at the former Imaginarium site on Cranford Avenue in Fort Myers, the new IMAG (pronounced eye-mag) History and Science Center combines the best of both museums to provide fun activities for all ages from one to 101. The IMAG offers visitors the opportunity to create new experiences through the exploration of science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and history with an emphasis on Southwest Florida.

Currently, there are over 60 interactive exhibits and a 3D video as well as touch tanks, aquariums, models, exhibits, and an outdoor wildlife lagoon. Animal Lab is home to a selection of Florida native wildlife including alligators, snakes, turtles, and birds. There’s an imagination Playground where you can shoot at the goalie in a number of virtual games, or try your skills as a live weather reporter on IMAG-TV.
When you need a break from the action, the café serves tasty snacks, drinks, and ice cream which can be enjoyed at tables in the refreshment area.
