🎉🐢 Happy Birthday, Tonca Truck! 🐢🎉
Jacksonville’s favorite alligator snapping turtle turns 59 today, and while MOSH canceled his birthday party, the SaveMOSH team is throwing one anyway.

Tonca, we know you just want to hang out under your bridge, eat fish, and set a new record for holding your breath underwater, but now MOSH Execs are trying to rehome you?? 👀

We’re fighting to keep MOSH open and keep Tonca in the only home he’s known for the last 30 years.

This isn’t just about buildings, it’s about legacy, community, and 200+ pounds of prehistoric excellence.

💚 Sign the petition. Save the museum. Save Tonca.

We're so grateful to First Coast News for helping amplify our campaign to keep MOSH open!

The Southbank closure isn’t just a pause, it’s a minimum three-year loss of access to science, history, and hands-on education for Jacksonville families.

Over 1,000 people have already signed our petition to show this matters. We’re fighting for a solution that puts community first, and we’re not done yet!

Teenager creates petition to keep MOSH open during move to Northbank MOSH plans to close its Southbank location at the end of August while it prepares to open its new building in 2028.

MOSH is set to close on September 1st, but it’s not too late to stop it.

Jacksonville can’t afford to lose its only science and history museum. There’s no clear plan for community access during the closure, and the future of the space is uncertain.

MOSH is closing on September 1, 2025 - with no public museum planned until at least 2028.

That means no exhibits, no camps, and no science museum in Jacksonville for years.

Sign the petition to keep MOSH open during the transition!!!
