MIAMI — As the FIFA World Cup excitement continues to build across South Florida, the Miami Children’s Museum is giving children a chance to get in the game with its newest interactive exhibit.

The museum is opening Planet Soccer, a new 3,000-square-foot outdoor exhibit designed to introduce children to the sport through hands-on play.

“This exhibit was created to introduce children to the world of soccer,” said Deborah Spiegelman, CEO of the Miami Children’s Museum.

The exhibit blends soccer with a space-themed environment, allowing children to kick, shoot, climb and explore while building confidence, coordination and teamwork through interactive challenges.

“We have Kick Canyon where kids can practice their kicking, and then we have Planet Plinko, which is an exciting game where kids learn about the different planets in our galaxy,” Spiegelman said.

The exhibit also features a dedicated area for younger children, making the experience accessible for visitors of all ages.

“We wanted a new and vibrant outdoor area for kids that was fun. What’s the greatest trend in Miami right now that everybody’s into? Football, or as we call it, soccer,” Spiegelman added.

While Planet Soccer is the museum’s newest attraction, it joins more than a dozen exhibits designed to keep children active and engaged throughout the summer.

“Families should come out to the Miami Children’s Museum and experience our galleries and come learn about soccer in an interactive, exciting way,” Spiegelman said.

Planet Soccer opens to the public Saturday as World Cup excitement continues to grow across South Florida.
