COLUMBUS – COSI has reopened its doors after being shuttered for more than a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fresh off being voted the No. 1 science museum in the country for the second year in a row by USA Today, COSI will be open Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Reservations will be required but the museum will not require face masks for fully vaccinated guests.
COSI is marking its return with a citywide ‘Celebration of Science Day’ to “recognize and honor the role that science has played in our lives” during the pandemic and to promote scientific literacy.
“This past year has truly elevated the role and importance that science plays in society and for world safety. Science has not only made it possible for people across the world to reunite with their loved ones after an isolating 15 months, moreover, science is single-handedly responsible for society opening up again,” CEO and president Dr. Frederic Bertley said.
Participants can qualify for prizes like tickets, family memberships and COSI Connects Kits by taking part in activities, such as posting a photo of reuniting with a fellow vaccinated friend or family member using #ThankYouScience, sharing a story online that shows what science has meant to them in the past year, or a photo of their family during a trip to COSI.
