Imagine standing in front of a massive shipwreck, watching schools of fish weave through its rusted beams. Picture yourself face-to-face with a giant octopus, its tentacles stretching out as if reaching for you. Now, what if I told you that you don’t need to dive into the ocean to experience this?
Starting March 12, 2025, COSI is inviting you on an unforgettable journey beneath the waves with its brand-new Waves of Wonder exhibit. Just in time for spring break, this immersive experience brings the magic of the deep sea right into the museum—no scuba gear required.
Step Into Another World
From the moment you walk into Gallery 1 on Level 1, you’ll feel as if you’ve left dry land behind. Using cutting-edge digital projection mapping, massive screen displays, and dynamic lighting, Waves of Wonder transforms the space into a living, breathing underwater world. It’s more than just an exhibit—it’s an experience.
You’ll wander through vibrant coral reefs, drift past ancient shipwrecks, and come face-to-face with incredible marine creatures, all brought to life with breathtaking realism. From jellyfish that glow like underwater lanterns to sea turtles that glide effortlessly past you, the ocean’s most fascinating inhabitants are closer than ever before.
More Than Just a Pretty Sight
While Waves of Wonder is undeniably stunning, it’s also packed with interactive elements that will deepen your understanding of the ocean and its delicate ecosystems. You’ll learn how ocean currents shape marine life, uncover the secrets of deep-sea exploration, and see firsthand the impact of climate change on our underwater world. It’s a perfect blend of fun, education, and wonder—ideal for kids, families, and anyone with a curious mind.
