The Emerald Coast Science Center's monthly homeschool class for ages 6 to 12 takes on Wild Florida in November. Students explore Florida's forests, springs, beaches and wetlands, learn where the name La Florida came from, and make a Florida state butterfly to take home. The same lesson is taught Monday and Tuesday, and it is a drop-off class, so students bring their own lunch.
Before you go
- Pick Monday or Tuesday and buy the ticket on the science center's page, or email website@ecscience.org to register.
- Fill out the 2026-27 program form and waiver from the class page.
- Pack a lunch for your student.
- Drop off at the Emerald Coast Science Center, 31 Memorial Pkwy SW, by 9:00 AM.
- Pick up at 1:00 PM.
What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-11-04.
The science center's Homeschool Academy page lists $45 for members and $50 for nonmembers per session, with $15 off each additional sibling.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
Online registration for the Monday class showed closed on November 4 and its page says to email website@ecscience.org the Tuesday class was still open.
Students must read at a first grade level, since this is a drop-off class.
Cancellations 48 hours or more ahead carry a 10% fee, and later ones a 30% fee.
