Okay, so.....after talking with Esther and Adam and a few others in class on Friday I planned on doing a couple ideas on museums that could be fun for parents and their kids. My travel piece was going to be on COSI which is about 2 1/2 hours away and for in town, I was going to do the Clay Center. However....after looking at recent posts, someone has already done it. (So that knocked off about half of my article) Nonetheless, after actually writing my article, I think 2000 words was not realistic especially to be an excerpt on our Zine page.
Living in Charleston, it is not always easy to find something fun to do with your kids. So, have you ever thought about something not in town, but something close enough to wear you can leave and come back in the same day? Well I might have the perfect solution for you interactive! COSI, which was formerly known as the Center of Science and Industry Museum, includes more than 300 exhibits throughout themed demonstration areas. The good news is that it is located right in Columbus.
COSI includes exhibits for children of all ages that allow them to not only play, but to have fun while doing so. Columbus is approximately a two and a half to three hour drive from Charleston. COSI is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm and on Sundays from noon until 6pm. If daytime hours are not the most convenient for you, they have a special the last Friday of every month. These Fridays at COSI are known as Family Friday Nights. Regular exhibit prices are 13.75 per adult and $8.75 per youth. Seniors (60+) is $12.75 and members are free. However, on Family Friday Nights, general admission is only $8.00 per person which includes all of COSI’s permanent exhibits as well as a movie on their 7 story Extreme Screen Theater. (This saves you $11.75 per person)
More information about this wonderful museum and learning opportunity for you and your child can be found at COSI’s webpage: www.cosi.org
