Bring COSI On Wheels to your next special event! COSI On Wheels programs are perfect for highly-structured and educational settings, like summer camps, corporate family days, and large-scale Scout events. COSI On Wheels programs require a controlled environment where your participants and volunteers can interact and communicate.

Choose from six available COSI On Wheels programs: Current Conditions, Incredible Human Machine, Investigating Energy, It's Simply Chemistry, Astounding Astronomy, and Exploring Ecology. You may choose one of these topics and decide the type of programming you want for your event.

Please note that COSI On Wheels programs require a controlled environment and are not available for outdoor fairs and festivals open for extended periods to the general public. For these types of events, consider renting COSI's Science Spot traveling exhibition!

A $75 mileage fee applies for events held outside the Franklin and contiguous county area.
