With eyes looking up and jaws dropping down, guests can now stepping inside the massive Digital Dome Theatre for daily shows at Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry.

MOSI, Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry has recently unveiled a massive new planetarium, the second largest in the country!

The new state-of-the-art 8K planetarium takes guests on an unforgettable journey! Experiencing 360-degree immersive space shows, expert-led night sky tours, and breathtaking adventures through the cosmos—all inside America’s second-largest planetarium.

MOSI admission now includes one show inside the theatre; with additional shows are just $5 each. Shows begin with a live tour of the night sky on the 10,000-square-foot screen, led by one of MOSI’s astronomers. That’s followed by a 30-minute 360-degree movie that surrounds you with science, taking you to outer space, the ancient past, and beyond.

The Digital Dome Theatre is the new home of MOSI’s Saunders Planetarium. Just 46 people could fit in MOSI’s previous planetarium; relocating to the 330-plus seat Digital Dome Theatre dramatically increases the number of MOSI guests and field trip students who can be wowed and inspired each day.

The new 8K image technology is far sharper, brighter, and more immersive than the old film technology that last operated inside the dome in 2017. A combination of foundation, private, and community support funded the upgrades. Tickets are available now at mosi.org.
