I felt violated. The children's experience complex, four stories of, often not working, kiosks of educational matters, took me down memory lane of bullies and blindsided teachers. The kiosks were of the type "Read this and DO understand, idiot." Incorrectness and left out bits of information caused huge frustration in the children I saw, children constantly running between the kiosks,... more

We visited this museum for free due to our zoo membership. Our admission did not include IMAX or Planetaruim, which are the only reasons to visit. The rest of the museum is just plain sad. We did a walk through tribute exhibit to Van Gogh. I thought Ashtun Kutcher would be at the end with his camera crew "You've been... more

We go to the MOSI every month or so when the IMAX brings in new movies. My 7 and 5 year-old kids really look forward to the date. Great way to see a feature film and do some other stuff on the way to the theater. EASY to park and get in to a large children's museum. Lots of hands... more

My husband and I visited the MOSI to see the "Body Worlds" exhibit. That exhibit was amazing and really interesting- but I think June 28th is the last day it will be at the MOSI. The rest of the museum was not so great. The ticket price was I think $25+ per person but he got in free because it... more

After considerable positive press about this museum, I was uber excited about going. Pity that didn't last. While the museum is packed full of exhibits, many were not working. On the first floor of exhibits alone, 7 things were not working!!! This continued though the museum. Also, this is not really a museum for kids under 9. Most of the... more

I went to MOSI with my 3 grown children esp to see the Body Works exhibit I had heard so much about. I did find the tickets to be rather expensive since you had to buy a pass to the museum and couldn't just do the exhibit. For an extra $4.00 per person, we also added in an IMAX film,... more

We have been coming to Florida for twenty years and have never been to the Tampa MOSI before. Everytime we pass it on the way to Busch Gardens we say "let's do that sometime". It looks impressive with the big Dinosaur outside and the fancy new spaceship of a building. Oh dear - the reality was so poor. Entry was... more

To start with, the museum is costs too much, and I saved money because I was with a school. I'm sure when the museum opended it was wonderful. There was construction going on. Some things were only opened for an hour. A lot of the things were broken. I wouldn't bother. Spend your money somewhere else. more

Perhaps we expected too much. Our AAA guidebook called this place a "gem." It was not. Hubby and I are 60's and are vacationing in Tampa. Because it was raining today (our last day here) we thought the museum would be a good choice. The senior price which included one IMAX short film was $21.95/person. Crazy high for what we... more
