When it comes to science museums, COSI just crushes the competition.

COSI was named the top science museum in the country by the 2021 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Travel Award Contest … FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, according to a release.

“This is an incredible honor to be voted again the Best Science Museum in the nation by the people, and we could not be more excited and proud of this distinguished honor,” said COSI President and CEO Dr. Frederic Bertley in a prepared statement. “We want to thank all of our supporters across the country and especially those in Central Ohio who made this possible for back-to-back years. Even though COSI’s physical doors were closed this past year, our community doors were wide open, and we worked tirelessly to serve families and youth in so many different ways. We are excited to reopen on June 3 to welcome guests back to COSI to see firsthand why we are indeed the best science museum in the country.”
