Museum of Science & History (MOSH) Celebrates Summer with Multiple Programs in July
July 2025 WHAT:
The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) is keeping everyone cool this summer with multiple programs throughout the month of July. Beat the heat outside and soak in all MOSH has to offer during its last summer in its current location before proceeding with plans to break ground on its visionary new location in 2026 . July will offer multiple family-friendly programs and activities, including: -
A special admission rate to celebrate July 4th weekend at the Museum (July 4-6, 2025). Guests will enjoy $4 off in celebration of Independence Day all weekend long.
-
Summer Camps are still available if you’re looking for a way to get your kids' brains engaged while school is out. Themed Summer Discovery Camps are week-long (five day) programs appropriate for students aged Kindergarten to sixth grade. Camps consist of fun experiments, wild crafts, STEAM activities, daily planetarium or science shows, and full exploration of the Museum!
-
Join us in honoring the legacy of the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium with the final live concert in this historic dome theater. On the evening of July 12, local indie space-rock band Skyview will transform the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium into a celestial stage, delivering an immersive, unforgettable performance that celebrates humanity’s journey through space. It’s a one-of-a-kind fusion of sound, science, and starlight. This event is ticketed separately from Museum admission; doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Experience MOSH’s resident alligator snapping turtle as Tonca comes up close and out of the water in celebration of his 59th birthday! This annual tradition dates back to just after Tonca first arrived at MOSH in 1995. Tonca will receive his annual medical check up and a birthday “spa day” on July 19. Florida Naturalist’s Center staff will provide educational information about Tonca and the other animals in MOSH’s Living Collection during the program. Special birthday treats, provided by Kilwin’s, will be available before the program (while supplies last).

Explore MOSH Archives: The Story of Us… And You!, the Museum’s final exhibition in its current location, all summer long! The exhibition is part science, part history and part time capsule. This fascinating look at how the objects we save shape the stories we tell highlights 80+ years of MOSH with shells and fossils from archaeological sites, collections from MOSH through the decades, including the beloved Model T, and numerous examples of natural sciences, including taxidermy, mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, minerals, rocks, gemstones, and much more. Don’t miss out on this wonderful exhibition this summer! Running all normal operating hours through Sept. 1. All events are appropriate for guests of all ages; be sure to have MOSH on your to-go list for its final summer in the current location.
