And I like a lot of spice/heat, so when I found my breakfast bagel sandwich lacking I was able to just pick up a bottle of black rabbit hot sauce, which is sooooo good. Out of the food places my favorite was the lamb shank and wife's favorite was her gyro(she thinks it was lamb and chicken). Olive and vinegar bar was great, picked up several. I'm not sure if possible, but if not the pasta cooking place next to the pasta making place cannot cook what someone orders from the maker right there, definitely a missed opportunity. The cheesemongers at the cheese shop were very helpful and helped me select some nice ones for a homemade lasagna. I didn't see the hot chicken place, but it was kind of a blessing cause it was one of the many things I wanted to try and after getting a little bit at a lot of the places we were both stuffed and had plenty left over. This was the primary reason I took a short trip to the area with my wife. Adults and children alike can explore and be immersed into a world of science and exploration, but it has little to no return value outside of special exhibits. If you've never been, it is highly recommended as it's a unique and incredible place to experience. While the kids had an incredible time, and we adults too, and enjoy what COSI has to offer, as a returning and paying visitor, it's in need of a total face-lift in regards to maintenance and just in general. Prices for food are extremely high (higher than amusement parks, football games, or other comparative places pricing), and this particular time, the special exhibit (Barbie) was incredibly underwhelming. The cafeteria can hardly maintain the influx outside of very early morning hours. Many exhibits are the same as they've been, with little to no change whatsoever, in the last decade. We've been coming off and on for some odd years, and while we have always really enjoyed it as a family, it gets harder to justify the astronomical price, comparatively to other things. The total price for the entire day, which included parking, entrance, and food, cost approximately $410. Visited COSI on 10-14-23 with three adults and five kids. And if you have a Dawes Arboretum membership, you might get a small discount on tickets! That’s not guaranteed, so be sure to check before buying. I do recommend buying your tickets online in advance. This place is so beautiful that I wish I could’ve been married here! My husband and I visited on the weekday (on a Wednesday specifically) so it was quieter and we didn’t have a wait. The staff is very friendly and kind, especially in the gift shop. There are also plenty of places to sit throughout the entire building. There is a small section along the self-guided tour where parents can stop and rest while kids play around with the kid-friendly, touchable exhibit. They have such a great diversity of plants and flowers! This is a kid-friendly place, just be respectful of those who are there without kids looking to have a quieter experience. This is truly a Columbus gem! There is so much packed into this building, but by following the free, numbered map they provide at check-in, you should be able to see everything and experience each room or “climate” within two hours.
