Imagination Station

Imagination Station (formerly the Center of Science and Industry (COSI)) is a non-profit, hands-on science museum located adjacent to the Maumee River in Downtown Toledo, Ohio. It has more than 300 exhibits for "children of all ages". The museum opened in 1997 as COSI. It occupied the former Portsid

e Marketplace, a festival marketplace-style shopping and restaurant complex developed by The Rouse Company and Enterprise Development Company (EDC) that operated from 1984–1990. After tax levies failed in 2006 and 2007, COSI closed its doors to the public on the last day of 2007 due to lack of funding. In 2008, voters approved an operating levy to reopen the facility as The Toledo Science Center. This interim name was replaced by "Imagination Station", which opened on October 10, 2009.
