Forget the UFO talk! One could argue we already have aliens in our oceans.
Jellyfish may appear harmless, but man, can they pack a punch. And you know the old adage: You wouldn’t pee on your worst enemy if they were on fire, but would you offer a friend some relief after a nasty jellyfish sting?
Hopefully not. Despite what Friends may have taught us, that age-old remedy is actually a myth — and could make matters even worse. That’s why it’s best to observe from a distance.
Yes, you’ve likely seen jellyfish on exhibit at your favorite aquarium. Until now, there hasn’t been a U.S. museum dedicated solely to these otherworldly creatures, which have been on Earth longer than dinosaurs — more than 500 million years, to be exact.
View this post on InstagramNext time you find yourself in Florida, especially if you’re near Miami, you can hop over to nearby Pompano Beach to visit America’s only jellyfish museum, rightfully named — you guessed it — The Jellyfish Museum.
Tickets start at $23 for general admission and are discounted for Florida residents. Your experience can be reserved online ahead of time, including a unique ‘romantic private dinner’, surrounded by candlelight and the backdrop of jellyfish gracefully floating by.
You’ll find 25 different species of jellyfish on display, no matter if you decide to wander around on your own or book an insightful guided tour.

If you’re local, you can score an annual pass for $65, making just four yearly visits well worth the price of admission.
Rave reviews are already pouring in. One recent visitor from the last 24 hours stated on Google, “Beautiful experience, very informative and captivating. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and made lots of memories.”
Another claimed it’s especially worth visiting if you need to keep your kiddos busy, “Very cool little museum and definitely worth checking out if you have little ones.”
The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with final entry 30 minutes before closing.
Does that mean a cockroach museum is next? You probably won’t see that pitch on Shark Tank…
