In the following research we analized spontaneous visitors’ profile (families) and perceptions of their stay at the Museum of Sciences. Applying qualitative exploratory study, the data on their perceptions of the experience was constituted through a questionnaire answered by the visitors in the space of the museum. The results indicate little concern for the context in which science is developed, with visits aimed primarily for leisure and the education of children. There was also criticism of the lack of publicity about the museum and the visitors’ appreciation of the content and the process of mediation. From this it is inferred the positive perception about the visit, though it the practice seems restricted to the public with greater access to cultural capital.
