Interesting & interactive exhibits. Great for families with younger kids. Filling up the space as needed to reach 100 characters

What an incredible first time here today. We made sure to arrive with our 2 year old right at 10am and thank God we did. We hit the dinosaurs exhibit first and our little man absolutely loved it. The kid space upstairs is INCREDIBLE! We thankfully were there early enough to enjoy a ton of things before it filled up. We stayed for 2 1/2 hours which was perfect for us but we'll be back when he's older and will stay longer. Columbus is lucky to have this place.

I have been to COSI a few times, but this time I went through just about every portion. The special exhibits they bring in are great. The static exhibits they have are really fun to check out and there is a lot of interaction. The majority of the interaction is for kids, but adults can have fun checking them out too. You have to tolerate noise and kids because noise and kids are everywhere, but that just means the kids are having fun. If you like to learn or want your kids to learn more than in school then check this place out. I recommend you go early to be able to check everything out and so that you can find a parking space easier. Showed up an hour after they opened and the parking lot was almost full.
