If you grew up in Tampa in the '90s or 2000s, chances are your annual elementary school field trip was a pilgrimage to MOSI — where you crawled through a giant intestine and braved a Twister simulator.

Yes, but: If you stuck around Tampa into adulthood, you might find yourself back at MOSI — either chasing nostalgia or chasing a kid who won't listen.

Why it matters: You can skip the Lunchable this time around and upgrade to a pulled chicken sandwich from Station House BBQ — which replaced Zydeco Brew Werks last weekend.

Zoom in: Station House BBQ serves guests in a covered courtyard beside Science Park, plus an indoor spot near the entrance.

It's open every day for lunch.

Between the lines: This is MOSI's second foray into dining and beverage service and is part of a years-long effort to expand the museum and transform it into a full-day, multi-visit destination.

The museum opened a new Flight Club Drone Zone in November and plans to open its Digital Dome Theatre and Planetarium — the second-largest in America — in the first half of 2025.
