Visiting Tips:

Plan to spend at least a half-day at COSI to fully experience all the exhibits and shows. Purchase tickets online to avoid long lines and to see if there are any special exhibits or events happening during your visit. Don’t miss the planetarium and the outdoor science park if the weather is nice. COSI is family-friendly, so bring the kids to enjoy the Little Kidspace, an area designed specifically for young children.

Precautions:

COSI can get crowded, especially on weekends and during school holidays, so it's best to arrive early. Wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of ground to cover. Photography is allowed in most areas, but be respectful of the exhibits and other guests. Keep your personal belongings secure, and note that some exhibits might require additional fees. Food and drinks are available on-site, but there are also several dining options nearby if you prefer. Lastly, make sure to check the weather if you plan to visit the outdoor areas.
