Below you will find the 2009-2010 school-year exhibit schedule. Please note that this schedule is subject to change. Please contact the reservationist if you have questions or concerns regarding the exhibits.

Exhibits are available for students to tour before and after their scheduled program(s). Scavenger hunts are available for teachers to use in conjunction with these exhibits. Please feel free to download and make/bring copies of these scavenger hunts with you on your visit.

•The Body Within. New. Enter through MOSH’s larger than life mouth, stroll down the digestive tract, and exit out the rear! Learn all about our bodies and how they work with hands-on interactive fun.

•Water Worlds. Explore the underwater world of the first coast in MOSH’s permanent aquarium exhibit. Multiple aquariums will represent the many fascinating water habitats and live aquatic animals found throughout Florida and beyond.

•Currents of Time. Go back in time as you take a walk through the history of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. From our earliest settlers over 10,000 years ago to modern day events, students will learn how this area of land we call Jacksonville became the city it is today!

•Atlantic Tails. Dive into this exhibit and meet Fermata, our life-sized right whale, along with her baby. Students will be greeted by other marine mammals as well and be able to see real life marine skeletons.

•Aqua Expo. Experience how water works without getting wet!

•In the Attic. This changing exhibit space houses artifacts from MOSH’s very own history collection as well as objects on loan from other historical institutions. Call for a schedule of exhibits.

•Prehistoric Park. Our Allosaurus skeleton is an impressive sight. But don’t worry- his bark is worse than his bite!

•Florida Naturalist’s Center. Meet all of MOSH’s resident live animals. Owls, snakes, turtles, tortoises, and alligators- just to name a few- are all native to Florida. Capacity: 40 students (must be accompanied by a chaperone).
