COSI
Last week, USA Today announced the winners of its Reader’s Choice Travel Award. COSI received the huge honor of first place in the category of "Best Science Museum" beating out highly acclaimed museums like the Chicago Field Museum and the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
Everyone’s favorite science museum on the banks of the Scioto has been recognized before in its 55 years, both statewide and nationally, but the USA Today award is one for the books.
A panel of experts and editors took the list of all science museums in the nation and whittled it down to 19 for the public to vote, and COSI ended up being voted as number one in the nation.
COSI frequently features relevant and inclusive initiatives and programmings like their Energy Explorers exhibit and the Color of Science program. There is something for everyone to learn from a day spent at the museum.
In 2017, COSI partnered with the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to feature the permanent dinosaur exhibit. COSI is also host to the largest planetarium in Ohio, showing short educational programs in the 60-foot dome screen.
Congratulations COSI!
