About Jacksonville's Museum of Science and History

Welcome to Jacksonville's Museum of Science and History (MOSH). Currently located at 1025 Museum Circle on the Southbank, MOSH is transitioning to a larger Northbank site in the Shipyards area. The new facility will span about 110,000 square feet across three floors on a 7.2-acre riverside site, with an estimated annual attendance of around 500,000. As you plan a visit, here’s a practical guide to getting there, what to expect inside, and nearby places to stay and dine.

Whether you’re exploring the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium, checking out rotating exhibits on the First and Second Floors, or taking part in planetarium programs and hands-on science experiences, MOSH aims to offer approachable, informative, and engaging experiences for all ages. With the Southbank site still serving as a landmark while relocation progresses, we’ve got you covered with current access details and helpful tips for a smooth visit.

Note: MOSH remains the brand you know, as plans advance for the Northbank location. For updates on construction, land use, and the move, follow MOSH’s official channels.

Seating and space details:

  • Planetarium capacity: 220 seats in the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium for immersive shows and presentations.
  • Exhibition spaces (First & Second Floors): flexible configurations typically ranging from 100 to 250+ seats, depending on exhibit layout and special programs.
  • For private events or rentals, MOSH offers venue spaces that can be arranged to suit the program, with capacity adjusted by setup.

Parking and transportation:

  • Free parking is available in MOSH’s east lot near the Main Street Bridge.
  • Additional nearby lots and on-street parking are available; some spots may be paid in non-MOSH areas.
  • MOSH is accessible by Jacksonville Skyway (San Marco Station nearby) and local bus routes; the Skyway is free to ride.
