TAMPA, Fla. — The Museum of Science & Industry’s Digital Dome Theatre is now open, officials announced Tuesday, featuring shows and live tours of the night sky.
MOSI admission includes one show inside the theatre with any additional shows at $5 each. Led by of MOSI’s astronomers, the shows begin with a tour on a 10,000-square-foot screen, followed by 30-minute, 360-degree movie that surrounds guests with science, outer space, the ancient past, and more.
The eight-story theatre is also the new home of MOSI’s Saunders Planetarium. Officials said that previously, only 46 people could fit in MOSI’s old planetarium. The new version feaures over 330 seats to help increase the number of MOSI guests and field trip students.
“This project solidifies the fact that MOSI is here as an anchor in Tampa’s uptown region. We’re proud to be the first of many transformational projects happening here in this neighborhood,” said MOSI CEO John Graydon Smith in a statement.
Tickets to the theatre are available now on MOSI’s website.
