Get ready to throw it back to the early 2000s because COSI is hosting a party that’ll take you straight to Y2K!
On December 12, the science museum we all know and love will open its doors for a special adults-only COSI After Dark: Y2K event, bringing some major nostalgia and futuristic flair to Columbus. This is a chance to experience COSI in a whole new way – and for those who grew up going on field trips here, it’s an opportunity to relive all those iconic memories, but this time with a grown-up twist.
If you haven’t been to a COSI After Dark event yet, here’s the scoop: it’s an evening where COSI gets a 21+ makeover, filled with themed activities, specialty drinks, and interactive science demos. And with the Y2K theme, this night promises everything from friendship bracelet-making to gaming on classic consoles, so you can dive headfirst into those late ‘90s and early 2000s vibes. COSI’s got you covered with music, food, drinks, and even a surprise ending to top off the night.
For many of us, COSI holds a special place in our hearts.
Whether you grew up visiting COSI’s original location or are more familiar with the “new” COSI, the museum has always been a place of wonder and exploration. The old COSI, with exhibits like the Coal Mine and the Hall of Presidents, made a lasting impression on countless kids across Ohio.
And while exhibits have changed over the years, COSI’s spirit of curiosity and hands-on fun has stayed the same. Now, events like COSI After Dark allow us to revisit those memories and see the museum through fresh eyes, blending nostalgia with new experiences.
