🌌 A Night of Lights & Water: Experiencing “Laser Evenings” and a Miami Bay Cruise
Miami dazzles not just by day, but especially after dark—and few experiences combine science, art, and skyline beauty like an evening spent at the Frost Planetarium’s Laser Evenings, followed by (or preceded by) a magical cruise with Miami Aqua Tours across Biscayne Bay.
If you’re a local seeking something different or a visitor crafting the perfect itinerary, this duo offers a top-tier Miami experience.
🌠What Are “Laser Evenings” at Frost Planetarium?
What it is
Laser Evenings is a nighttime event at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, where laser light shows are projected onto a 67-foot planetarium dome, choreographed to music from iconic artists like Elton John, The Weeknd, ABBA, Bad Bunny, and more.
With immersive surround sound and custom-designed light effects, it’s a multi-sensory spectacle unlike anything else in Miami.
