This place is terrific. It is way more than you can reasonably see in a day. Pick your spots, and enjoy. Skimming a lot is not as enjoyable. There is an outdoor space that, in the right weather, is a brilliant 'time out' with several exhibits and some space to let the kids run around.

A family pass is a must, we can spend 3-4 hours at a time here. My kids love it and the age group in 6 months to 60 years. There is something for everyone.

I wish I was a kid and could experience the wonder that COSI has turned in to. The traveling exhibits make for fun visits that always has us coming back for more. It's obviously tailored for children and they have several interactive stations to keep children entertained and engaged while learning about science.

Really fantastic place! The toddler had a great time and we didn't even get to see half of it. Probably the best science center we've ever been to.

This was a nice place to hang out for the day. We loved it. The Ocean water play area was our favorite to visit. The kids area upstairs was fun but I felt like it was unorganized and some of the kids were bullying. I dd enjoy having the nursery available. It was nice to have a place to relax and breastfeed. We have a lot more to explore here so we'll be coming back soon.

This place is a complete rip off for what they offer. The prices for parents are a joke, and any added thing costs additional 5 per person unless you choose to do everything which is an additional 15 a person. We picked one thing to add on which was the planetarium which was cool, but paying 20 bucks to all see a short show was a joke. Maybe have haha of greens or a souvenir of some sort to offer after like a bag of the gems the kids had to hunt for. Felt price gouged for everything. Kids were starving for lunch so we hit the cafeteria only to not feel comfortable with ordering anything for my son who has a dairy and egg allergy. I would think being a kid place they would be more sweet up for things like that, and it's not fair for us to all eat pizza while our other eats only applesauce. Even their bagged potato chips had dairy. Some things were nice to be hams on for the kids but a lot of places were useless. It might be worth it if you live here to become a member, but if you are traveling here you and your kids could have a lot more fun going elsewhere. I am seriously disappointed especially since it is the #1 thing to do here. We left hungry with empty pockets and will never return, but glad we can check it off our bucket list.

This is an amazing experience. There are so many awesome things to do. I saw the Mysteries of china film and did the choose your own adventure space like thing. It was a really good experience. You can do all sorts of stuff and it is hard to do in just one day. You can even ride a unicycle across a rope over the exhibits if you are up for it. I highly recommend doing it and is something that you can spend your whole day at.

The experience inside was very pleasant. I hadn't been to COSI in nearly 17 years and that was when it was at it's old location. I brought my daughter here and she loved it. Between the exhibit where you can conduct science experiments to the planetarium, she enjoyed it all. I'm still giving this place 5 stars because as a man of science it was nice to such a large facility attempting to make science fun for kids. I will say that I was rather annoyed with the parking situation; you have to navigate a labyrinth of signs that don't actually point to where you have to go to park, then are forced to pay $10.00 for your troubles. Seems like a bit more effort could be put into making that a cheaper more streamlined process.

Boyfriend and I took my niece (11) and nephew (13) Sunday. Many of the exhibits haven't been changed or updated since I went 15 years ago, but were still entertaining. Lots of the interactive displays were broken or missing pieces, most staff was nice but ran into a few that seemed to have zero patience for their job or the children around them. Tip. Don't buy drinks at the theater or cafe, the couple vending machines around are a little cheaper. Take your own food if you can.

Went here for the first time with wife and stepdaughter and it was amazing! Will definitely come back. Especially want to spend a bit more time in the puzzles and mazes exhibit; we breezed through there towards the end of our trip but had to leave. The place will be even better once the construction is done. Can't wait!

This place is great fun for all ages. We take the family here from time to time. The top floor has a great kids play area. The parking is a bit tricky now because of construction but once the new parking garages are in I sure that will be much better.

This place is great for kids but the staff in the kid space aren't very friendly. They watch you like vultures, and not for safety reasons, to make sure you are in the exact space you said you were going to be in. My 10 year old niece was going to go in the big kids lab but she walked around with us before and they almost attacked her. They could be a little more chill with the customers, considering we paid a decent amount. All the other exhibits are wonderful though.

This place is awesome! I'm in Michigan so it's a 4 hour drive for me but it's well worth it! a lot to do. Great place for families or even just with your SO. every room you go into will blow your mind. I expecially like the street Room we're the same street and every room but a different time period.. super cool
