The Scene COSI has eight immersing environments where you can interact with the exhibits. While COSI is a fabulous place to run your children ragged with educational activities, it can be equally engaging and entertaining for adults. Whatever your age, go when you feel seriously playful and willing to learn a few new things. COSI has 110,000 square feet of space, so plan on a full day or two trips.
The Experience The themed areas include Ocean, Adventure, Gadgets, Life, Progress, I/O (Input/Output), Space and traveling exhibits. All of them give children hands-on experiences: in Gadgets, kids maneuver pulley chairs; in I/O they learn about how their favorite video game works; and in Ocean, they learn what it's like to be in a submarine. There are also three movie theaters and a simulator. Don't miss "Poseidon's Realm" in the Ocean World. Its gushing waters and dramatic lights are quite a spectacle.
