Some creatures hunt in the wild. Others live in our legends.
In May, COSI After Dark dives into the stories humans have told for centuries about the beasts that haunt forests, guard treasures, swim the deep, and shape entire cultures. From dragons of East Asia to Appalachian cryptids, from apex predators to misunderstood monsters, this night explores how folklore, fear, and science collide.
Experience live animal encounters, immersive folklore-inspired moments, hands-on activities, and creature-themed cocktails as the museum transforms after hours.
Because sometimes the line between myth and biology is thinner than you think.
COSI After Dark: Creatures & Cryptids is on May 14, 7pm - 10pm, doors open at 6:30pm.
Tickets are $20/person in advance or $30/person at the door.
