We went on a weekday here and the kids loved it. We were a group of 6 parents and 10 kids. Everyone was very pleased with the service. Some bought membership passes. The kids learned as well as had a great time pretending in the Nautilus. The live animal exhibit was great. The staff we interacted with were all helpful and interested. A gentleman even stopped to explain a map my son and I were looking at. We were trying to identify all the information we were seeing and he hopped over and explained the suns trajectory and why it looped on the map as it did. The ecliptic. We all learned something on our trip.

We haven't been to MOSH in a long time but my daughter wanted to see the animation exhibit. It was a lot of fun for both of us. They've redone the history walk through (again, I haven't been in years) and that was very educational. I learned a lot of interesting things about the area I never knew. Also the music history is really in depth. They have a nature walk through with native plants and of course the planetarium is always awesome. Overall a good time that's not too pricey and educational.

I’m not much into Museums but I can tell this one is a bit pricey. You even have to pay more for the shows. Free parking tho. There no much to see for little ones. Dinosaurs exhibit not bad but my 3 years old kid got scared there, I think it’s for 4+. We enjoyed colouring the dinosaurs with our names and then see them in the screen. The owl didn’t look happy in that small cage. Place won’t take long time to cover and it’s good to see for one time only.

My daughter came here for a play date with her friend from school. We saw the Lazer show. It cost an additional amount to go to the Lazer show and was not that exciting. Would skip it if I ever go back. Exhibits were kinda boring in comparison to other science museums we have been to. Overall, I was a bit disappointed in MOSH. Yet, when I remind myself this is Jacksonville, Florida, and not NYC Amsterdam or Paris so I just knocked one star off.

It’s just ok. Doesn’t seem like the staff cares and are basically in hiding. Exhibits seem unkept and unorganized. Your typical woke race based exhibits also exist, I will say they have a warning on the door of the “Lynching” exhibit but, selecting charged up history topics seems base. Loads of dilapidated buildings and homeless in the area as well. I would recommend passing on this museum.

I had a nice experience visiting the MOSH museum. It was entertaining to an extent the only down part would be the third floor didn’t have anything compared to the other floors. Would come again and to see the planetarium show.

We had our daughter's 11th birthday party at the MOSH. They decorated, gave us a tour and we elected to add the laser show and science show. It was so much fun and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

It was a good way to spend an afternoon. You can get through it in less than a day, depending on which shows you want to see. Note, the shows are extra. We did a planetarium show which was $5.95 extra per person. Also there is a Dinosaur exhibit going on right now as well which was pretty cool More

I'm very disappointed in the live animal area. Especially the fish. Their tank size is not adequate for their size. Don't have live animals if you can't take care of them properly.. the museum is kinda run down. If you wanna see a fun dinosaur exhibit go to the jacksonville zoo!

We took a class of third graders to the Native American festival and it was super! The children loved the regular exhibits, especially the animation area. They were also impressed by the dancing, stories, doll and bead making. Wonderful first time effort! More

No, not engaging, or entertaining for kids. Dropped $60 for me and my kids, and drove almost 2 hours. Exhibits are sparse, look dated, many are just empty. It's like a kids museum, made by a bunch of old people, who forgot who they were making it for. More

Great place to visit. Exhibits for children and all ages. Interesting history, astronomy and sea life pieces. As well as reptiles. This was my 1st to me going and I also did the planetarium show and it was entertaining and informative. More

Nice museum. Lots To See. About 2 hrs if just looking around. If you have little ones lots to be interactive and a floor to be creative you probably be there longer seeing everything. Went with family including 17 yr old and he said it was

This was our first time visiting the MOSH museum, and we were blown away. The current dinosaur exhibit is awesome and included with the price of admission. It was honestly better than some of the other paid dinosaur exhibits that we have

If your kids love dinosaurs definitely bring them here. It’s amazing for toddlers they get to play and discover. The dinosaurs move and make sounds. The staff are incredible. I came a year ago and now they have completely renovated the

Small compared to other cities. They need to grow and be 4 times bigger, with better and more activities for kids. They need their activities to work as well. The Jea show is good but no shows during the week for public, only private

I just spent my birthday here over the weekend. My first time here and they have a great leader in history name spelled incorrectly! This needs to be taken down and replaced immediately. His name is MARTIN LUTHER KING JR! More

We had an enjoyable time at the MOSH. It took us 1.5 - 2hrs to see everything. We enjoyed several of the exhibits and the planetarium is a neat experience. 1 star deducted for the rude kid working the front desk. More

Took our son for his 5th birthday and we had a blast! Lots of engaging content and everywhere you look there's a learning opportunity. Will be back very soon.

Awesome place, lots of cool exhibits and a must go if in the Jacksonville area!
