I will take his word for it, but I do agree that it was pretty cool. My husband tells me that this is the “iconic” show of COSI. That is capitalizing on opportunity right there! They even had some banners encouraging families to visually explore the constuction site adjacent to the museum to look for diggers and other machines at work. In addition to all of the hallway activity, they have also set up a Big Science Park to bring the museum outdoors into that space as well. The young girl holding it was just that good. Folks, I even let a tarantula touch my fingertip and I HATE spiders.

The hallways are full of their own little exhibits as well as some very friendly COSI staff introducing additional encounters.

In truth, we had a hard time even getting into the actual exhibits… and that is a good thing. We did not even come close to exploring everything in this facility.

This is what all children’s museums should be like. They do an amazing job introducing concepts such as force, polarization, etc… and then have an interactive component to reinforce those concepts. As a parent, I loved that I could get right in there with my kids and experiment and explore alongside them. No matter where you go or what you are exploring, the exhibits will be hands on and encourage your kids to touch and interact. Everything is interactive.As a child development professional, I am a huge proponent of using play to help children learn.
