Unfortunately, the cost of this museum is outrageous. I do not understand where all the money has gone, because it has not been put back in the museum. It is sad that something that should be a shining example of Tampa Bay is regarded as a dirty and filthy waste of money. The food prices are through the roof for horrible cafeteria food, half of the exhibits do not work, there are additional charges for everything that you want to do there, it is just a waste of time.
The Imax is the only area of this museum that is worth a visit. Pay for your movie ticket and skip everything else. OH AND TO TOP OFF THEY NOW CHARGE PARKING FEES ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER FEES...
Read moreDon't pay for upgraded seats! I purchased these yesterday to give my son what i thought would be an awesome experience only to get there and the staff told me "oh, we already closed the preferred seats doors just go through general admission"?? When i spoke with management, they did nothing and pretty much did not care! apparently if you purchase upgraded seats you are also supposed to get to the theater WAY early? which the web site does NOT state! I was not trying to get $$ back i was just informing them of the bad experience and actually the conversation with management was a worse experience than the wasted $$ for the seats! I won't be going...
Read moreGeared towards getting kids interested in science and tech, I was very pleased to see the "learn to code" section and the 3d print section. I visited because I was interested in taking a ride in a fully autonomous car which was actually quite boring. I'm a CIO for a living so tech is a big thing in my daily life. Seeing kids go hands on with arduinos and makey makeys was pretty awesome. MOSI, if you are reading this, you are doing a good thing! Keep it up. Would love to see the robotics and coding sections...
