COSI

#1 Science Center in America

Named the #1 science center in the nation (Parents Magazine) and one of the nation's Top 12 Childrens Museums (Forbes),
COSI (Center of Science and Industry) is a great attraction located in downtown Columbus--just a short drive from Dublin. Best of all--COSI offers fun for all ages! 

Set in 320,000 square feet, the three floors offer fascinating hands-on exhibits, live shows, an extreme screen theatre, outdoor courtyard, gift shop and the Atomic cafe. Scientific amazement and adventures abound where you can launch a rocket in Space, create a wave in Ocean, lift a car in the Big Science Park, watch food decompose in Life, ride a highwire unicycle over the atrium, crack a code in Adventure, travel back in time in Progress, or take apart a motor in Gadgets. Young scientists have their own designated area in KidSpace where infants, toddlers and preschoolers can explore and parents have amenities like lounges and changing rooms. 

NEW IN 2012: 

• RACE: Are We So Different (through May 6) Looking through the eyes of history, science and experience, this exhibit explores the similarities and differences among people and reveals the reality (and unreality) of race. The story behind RACE: Are We So Different? may challenge how you think about race, about the differences among people and the similarities that unite us all.
