The MOST is a hands-on science and technology museum in Syracuse's Armory Square neighborhood. Its roughly 35,000 square feet hold permanent and traveling exhibits, a gift shop called the Science Shop, and a range of programs and events. The museum occupies the former Syracuse Armory. Visitors can also catch shows in the giant domed National Grid ExploraDome theatre, which screens films and planetarium programs, and families can join story times, lab activities, and sensory-friendly visits.
