COSI Little Seeds Big Tractors gives COSI goers an up close and personal feel of life on a farm . The event is held mid August be sure to visit and see all the farm equipment.

Buy your tickets online so you don't have to wait in line . Online tickets are good for one year. You can buy tickets online using your smartphone. This saved me half an hour during Christmas Break.

Kate Rhoades

Go at night, park on the little street with meters across from the parking lot (you don't have to pay) and walk around back where the fountains are. Sit on the steps and see the city lights. Kiss her!

Presley Burley

ADVENTURE! Unless your phone has a decent flash that can stay on for a while, bring a small flashlight, a pencil, and maybe some extra paper or small notebook. You'll need it.
