Museum of Science & Industry
The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) is the largest science center in the southeastern United States and home of the only IMAX® Dome Theatre in the state of Florida. Guests are encouraged to "learn by doing" in this scientific playground of special exhibitions with more than 450 hands-on activities.
The facility sits on 74 acres and encompasses more than 400,000 square feet. The original building (now known as the "Whitney Andrews Lang Center for Learning") opened in 1982. The new building, or "West Wing," opened in 1995 and includes the first IMAX Dome Theatre in the State of Florida. The museum also added Kids In Charge!, the largest children's science center in the nation, in July 2005.
