COSI and Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition *Giveaway*

 

                             

 

Have you been to COSI (Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio)?  The kids and I took our first trip there last month and loved it. 

 

Not only did we get to check out the cool permanent exhibits like Space, Ocean, WOSU, and Gadgets, but we got a preliminary viewing of the new Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition exhibit! 

 

Here's what COSI has to say about this new travelling exhibit:

"Can you huff, puff and blow a house in? Does toast always tend to land butter-side down? Does running in the rain get you less wet than walking through it? Can you really make a canoe out of duct tape? Spend a day as a MythBuster to uncover the truth behind the myths for yourself. And while you’re at it, watch live demonstrations by COSI's MythBusting facilitators and peruse props and gadgets from the show.

 

MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition comes straight from Discovery Channel's Emmy®-nominated series, MythBusters, where wild hypotheses are put to the test in wildly entertaining experiments. MythBuster's Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, along with co-hosts, Tory Belleci, Grant Imahara and Kari Byron, combine their expertise in special effects to relentlessly test every myth within busting distance."

 

My kids loved checking out all of the exhibits and watching live shows...we got to watch a mom test if her reflexes were faster than a paintball gun---they weren't.  They tried to build a 'house' that would withstand strong winds---they did.  And, they determined whether or not you stay drier running or walking through rain---running. 

 

Not only did they love the Mythbusters exhibit, but they had fun in the permanent displays as well.  They sat inside a submarine (and on a space shuttle toilet), watched kids ride a unicycle across a tightrope and got to be on tv at WOSU. 

 

COSI is a fun, hands on museum that your kids will enjoy and learn something without realizing it.

If you would like to check out Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition, you may do so until September 2nd.  Tickets for this special exhibit have to be purchased in addition to regular museum tickets. 

 

But, guess what? 

I have a give away!
