Tampa can be proud of this first rate facility and the wonderful Mummy Exhibit now on display. The exhibit was the largest display of Mummies in the world, They were from Egypt, Asia, and South America. The display was very well presented and set up. We spent the extra $5 per person for the hand held tape player, and it...

Excellent day at Withlacoochie state park going thru 4 caves. not for the claustrophobic nor too big a person! kids had a blast! lots of crawling and sliding and a head lamp way better than a flashlight. MOSI staffer Chris was great! Knew his stuff, great sense of humor, really neat to see these caves. 10 year old thought this...

Our group had the MSI all to ourselves! They had most of the museum blocked off, but we did get to explore alot of it. There were bars set up all over for us. Dinner was truly delicious! Fresh fish and chicken with salad, catered. After dinner we were taken to the rooftop for dessert and a view of the...

My kids loved the Museum of Science and Industry, stopping by on vacation and gaining a year's worth of science education. Don't miss this.

Kids love this adventure and adults enjoy it too! Have taken several student groups to MOSI and it is never disappointing. Lots of hands on activities to hold interest. Don't miss the Mosimax theater for great adventures.

This museum might have been one of the most disappointing ones I've ever been to. Despite the brochure I picked up, the Mummy exhibit was not up yet. (The brochure has absolutely no dates on it and said to visit to see it.) The tickets were WAY over priced for what was given. Half the exhibits were off limits or...

Plenty of things for the kids to do there. We have two kids, 6 and 2. We watched the IMAX movie and was impressed that my 2 year old didn't move a muscle the entire time and talked about it afterward. We have a year pass. We've been once this year, but will return to see the mummy exhibit soon....

The displays are dated and worn. The exhibits are not well-maintained and show wear. The Kids In Charge exhibit is fine, but the entrance to that section contains a graphical depiction of the impact of drugs on the family. I found a lot of the museum to be dated with interactive exhibits that don't work. The rope climbing exhibit was...
