When we heard COSI added “TUTANKHAMUN: His Tomb and Treasures,” a new exhibition focused on King Tutankhamun, we knew we had to dig in for more. So, we trekked over to the local science museum and did just that — minus the pickaxes and shovels.
What we tried:
Not only did we tour the new King Tut exhibition, but explored the rest of COSI as well — we learned how molecules interact in the Ocean exhibit, discovered fossils in the Dinosaur exhibit, and even took a tour of the solar system with the Planetarium.
Keep reading to see how the rest of the experience went and how you can Try This.*

Congratulations to the northeastern Ohio resident who won the Powerball jackpot and will receive a $252.6 million payout. The winner, who will not be named, purchased their ticket at a Get Go gas station in Macedonia. (614now)
Answered
We asked what you would recommend tourists do for a summer day in the city, and reader Ruthie said a visit to the Columbus Zoo. Reader Jess also said a visit to Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is a must. It’s not too late to send us your thoughts.
Correction
We made a wrong turn. Our highway guide included I-73 which is a planned interstate that cuts through Ohio near Portsmouth + ends in Toledo. The highway will use US 23 + I-75, which already exist, but it is in need of upgrades and improvements, which you can read more about here.
Drink

If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll want to get your hands on this tea with a twist.
Tiger Sugar, a Taiwanese-based drink shop specializing in milk tea + boba, is opening its first Columbus location. The store is expected to open within the next two months at 878 Bethel Rd.
What drinks can guests expect? The unique menu features bases like black tea and black sugar boba with mixes like cream and cheese mousse. Options like matcha, green tea, and taro pudding are also available. Plus, all drinks are infused with hand-poured syrups that emulate the stripes of a tiger, making the drinks look just as good as they taste.
