King Of New York

Apr 15, 2022

Loved our experience so much I forgot to pull out my phone to snap more pics! Totally worth visiting. Grabbed annual passes on our way out. We stayed up until closing. Definitely attention grabbing. Many hands on activities for our little explorers who like to touch everything! Clean and friendly staff :) they were all so helpful. We also tried the VR experience which was really fun. We couldn’t do the Sky Line activity because we didn’t have the right footwear (so make sure you wear closed toe shoes!) Wish we visited sooner! Highly recommend this attraction.

Super fun for the kids and lots to learn. Brought my 3 year old here and he had a blast. Can't beat the fun for the low price of admission. There is fun activities for kids of all ages. Shoot, even the adults have fun here! Definitely recommend if you are looking for something to do with the kids on the weekend.

Haven't been for over a decade. With the girlfriend in town, I wanted to take her to a fun museum since she loves them. We decided on MOSI. Unfortunately, as a lot of other reviews have noted, the place is a shadow of its former self, as the larger three story building is seemingly empty and devoid of all the amazing exhibits it used to have. Having said that, MOSI does a decent job at utilizing the little space they have. There's plenty of exhibits, but due to the smaller size, it's not quite a day trip anymore. Even taking our time and trying all the exhibits we were done in two hours. You can probably squeeze three hours out of a very inquisitive kid or two, but there's not much here for adults. I'm saddened by the loss of the MOSI of my childhood, but hopeful that if they move to a Tampa location closer to downtown in the future, that it'll be bigger and more enjoyable. For now, it's not more than two or three hours and never again. As a side note, the planetarium show was amazing, and our narrator Max was incredible. Totally worth the $5 per person, check it out.

MOSI, short for Museum of Science and Industry did not disappoint. My family and I enjoyed the visit and participated in most of the sections of the museum. It is small but armed with various interesting areas. I would recommend the Mars area, the Planetarium, the outside area. It can be a short visit worth your money and time.

Mossi, y must spend 2 days there to fully discover all the unique displays and shows. Plus, there are up charges f some show and displays, but very worth the money like, "The Body." In which people who pasted gave their bodies to science.

Heather Schaeffer | Sep 5, 2021
Michael Almy | Sep 5, 2021

It's very very cheep admission to begin with so a few dollars more for certain activities is well worth it. Me and my family just went and were blown away how awesome it was!

Do they have concessions and what is the price range?

Windi Sanders | Sep 5, 2021
Chris | Sep 5, 2021

No concessions all they have is a soft drink machine upon entering. ADULTS (13 - 59) | SENIORS (60+) | CHILD (3 - 12) $12.95 | $10.95 | $7.95. You can literally walk the entire "exhibit" in 30 min. There was an eerie feeling about it. I have a 15 yr old STEM child, 10 yr old ASD and a 7 yr old who loves everything space related. I didn't see them thrilled, there wasn't much for them. I'd pass.
