“No matter how old we are, dinosaurs have the power to capture our sense of wonder—and LEGO bricks capture our creativity. When you assemble those pieces together to create Brick Dinos, the results are inspiring,” said MOSI CEO, John Graydon Smith.
What will the Brick Dinos include?
The exhibit will feature an array of displays from miniature scenes to a life-size encounter with a 12-foot-long raptor-like dinosaur called Masaiakasaurus. Discover dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes that span the skies, oceans, and earth.
Stand beneath the skeleton of one of history’s biggest dinos! Uncover fossils from beneath the sands of the Dinovations Dig and step into the footprint of a mighty dinosaur with your entire family.

That’s not all! Check out what else is NEW at MOSI!
Wow yourself this summer with two new 360-degree movies debuting at MOSI, Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry! Birth of Planet Earth and Experience the Aurora are joining MOSI’s lineup of immersive movies each day—and before each movie, one of MOSI’s space experts will take you on a tour of the stars inside the Saunders Planetarium.
Birth of Planet Earth
Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. This film explores some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?
Experience the Aurora
Watch nature’s most stunning light show as you see the winter sky come to life before your eyes. The Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights, shimmers and glistens in a breathtaking display as it puts on a magnificent natural light show.
A 360-degree movie and planetarium experience is free for MOSI Members and only $5 in addition to regular admission.
