MOSI — Museum of Science & Innovation
Uptown / USF area, Tampa|$$
Renamed from Museum of Science & Industry to Museum of Science & Innovation in January 2026, MOSI reopened its giant former IMAX dome in 2025 as the Saunders Planetarium & Digital Dome Theatre — the second-largest planetarium in the country. Exhibits skew interactive: Flight Club Drone Zone, Be the Astronaut simulators, a butterfly garden, a dino dig, and even science-themed mini-golf, plus rotating blockbusters like Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion. Open daily 10am-5pm, across from Busch Gardens on Fowler Avenue.
Why our team sends guests here
Grab planetarium show tickets when you walk in — dome seats sell out on rainy afternoons, and the show is worth planning your visit around.
