Review:

COSI, formally known as the Center of Science and Industry, is a nationally-renowned family science museum in Columbus that has been named as the nation's best science center by Parent Magazine. The museum, which was originally opened to the public in 1964, relocated in 1999 to a state-of-the-art 320,000-square-foot facility along the banks of the Scioto River. Today, it showcases more than 300 interactive exhibits throughout seven exhibit areas dedicated to nature, outer space, technology, and human life and biology. A planetarium facility showcases outer space-themed presentations, while a Dinosaur Gallery operates in conjunction with the American Museum of Natural History. Nearly 30 million visitors have been served by the museum's outreach programming, which focuses on camp-in experiences for Girl and Boy Scouts.
