It's $20 for General admission for ages 2-12. That will grant you access to a lot of different things. If you want access to the special exhibits it's $35. However, I would look at the membership prices if you ever plan on going back or going to any of the other museums in the group. By the time you pay for a one day admission you could pay a little more and have membership for a year. Membership is not only granted at COSI. Look at the list of other places you can go with your COSI membership. It's definitely worth it if you ever plan on revisiting or going other places. We had one for years when my kids were younger and loved all the different things we got to experience! Hope this helps! Have fun!
