Center for Science and Industry
Wexner Center for the Arts
Columbus’ beloved Center for Science and Industry
(COSI) first took shape back in the 1960s before moving
to its current site in 1999. Inside the 333,000-square-foot
digs, visitors of all ages can discover an array of interactive
STEM-focused fun that covers space, geography, oceans,
gadgets, energy, and machinery. Live science shows
and demonstrations up the ante, along with an on-site
planetarium and a National Geographic Giant Screen 4D
projection theater for startlingly life-like movie screenings.
The American Museum of Natural History Dinosaur
Gallery is a must-see, with a model T-Rex and life-sized
oviraptor nest (complete with eggs!) kids can climb into
and over.
Another OSU fixture, the Wexner Center for the Arts
arrived on the scene in 1989 with support from one of
Columbus’ most prominent civic families. These days, the
“Wex” brings together architecture, contemporary art,
films, and other creative genres all under one
comprehensive roof.
Otherworld
Jack Nicklaus Museum
Otherworld offers a truly unique immersive art
experience that allows visitors of all ages to walk into and
through large-scale installations with a psychedelic vibe.
The nearly 50 Instagram-worthy vignettes incorporate
aspects of video game technology, neon lights, lasers,
infinity mirrors, oversized sculptures, trippy nature scenes,
and other haunting visuals.
Duffers will want to set a course to the Jack Nicklaus
Museum, part of The Ohio State University sports
complex. The champion golfer was born here in
Columbus, making his hometown a fitting location for the
museum that commemorates his illustrious career. Across
12,000 square feet of space, visitors can admire trophies,
memorabilia, and photos.
