Math lovers and curious kids alike can celebrate the most famous number in Tampa this weekend.

At the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI)’s Pi Day celebration, circles, numbers and discovery take over the museum floor with family-friendly activity stations highlighting patterns, measurement and problem-solving, along with live demos designed to bring big ideas to life.

A paint-by-numbers mural will grow throughout the day as visitors add their own splash of color, while special themed star tours inside the Saunders Planetarium connect math to space exploration.

And because it wouldn’t be Pi Day without pie, complimentary samples from sponsors including Publix, Dave’s Hot Chicken and Mike’s Pies will be available while supplies last. The museum’s food truck, Melt Machine, will also serve sandwiches.

The event is included with general admission ($7-$13), with specialty upgrades available for purchase at the door.

Pi Day at MOSI happens Saturday, March 14, in Tampa.
