MOSI is going to need a bigger museum as it kicks off Shark Week 2013

MOSI kicks off Shark Week with a big chomp on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The celebration will continue throughout the week as the first 50 people of each day, Aug. 3 – 9, will receive free MOSI admission when they buy a ticket to Sea Monsters Revealed.

On Saturday and throughout the week, guests will be able to view real shark dissections in MOSI’s grand lobby. Additionally, Dr. Daniel Huber, shark expert, consultant for Discovery Channel, and University of Tampa professor, will be at MOSI to speak about some of the myths and mysteries associated with these fascinating creatures. Guests will be able to view the night sky over some of the world’s most active Great White Shark feeding grounds inside The Saunders Planetarium, and build their own Lego® sharks inside MOSI’s inventor’s studio, Idea Zone. For an additional fee, guests can experience Sea Monsters Revealed, where they will see not only the outside, but also the inside of the most elusive aquatic life ever discovered, including a 15-foot-long mako shark, a pregnant silky shark, and an 18-foot-long, 3,000-pound whale shark.

Shark Week is included with MOSI admission and is free for members. Tickets for Sea Monsters Revealed are $18.95 for adults, $16.95 for seniors (60+) and $12.95 for children (2-12). The first 50 people of each day during Shark Week, Aug. 3 – 9, will receive free MOSI admission when they buy a ticket to Sea Monsters Revealed.
