Let Your Kids Go Crazy at COSI
If you have little ones along for the ride on your visit to Toledo, Ohio; make a stop in your tour bus at the world renowned COSI. COSI stands for Center of Science and Industry and your kids will have an all out blast at this venue.
Touch is not only allowed here, it is encouraged. It is a well known fact that children actively learn through all 5 senses, so every sense is tingled and titillated at this facility. Your children will be invited to actively participate in any of the over 300 exhibits on hand.
Your children can enjoy the BOYO that is a 23-foot tall tower that will bounce your kids in the air like a real-life yo-yo. For the more daring child, there is a high wire cycle that rides on 20 feet of stretched steel cable. This is an experiment in gravity and counterbalance techniques - let your child see if they can ride the cycle across.
Your kids can also experience how movie special effects are made and jump right into the world of 3-D. They can also design roller coasters and learn how these things are designed and built. There is also a sports section that shows the sports minded child how physics comes into play and can be applied to all sports in one way or another. You kids can even give a pretend news weather forecast in the mini-weather studio which is complete with monitors, teleprompter and large US weather map.
Be sure to make the COSI a stop on your visit to Toledo. It has a wonderful day's worth of activities for your kids that are not only fun, they will help you child develop a love and appreciation of science.
