Field Trip Lunch Options

You have 3 lunch options for a field trip to COSI. 
Please make COSI’s Call Center Representative aware of your choice when you make your field trip reservation.


  Option A:  Packed Lunches

The majority of field trip groups bring packed lunches with them.  Please ask students to bring a sack lunch with his/her name written on it.  Before you leave your school, put all of the lunches into large cardboard boxes or plastic bags with the school name and date written on them.  Upon arrival, the COSI Team will help store your lunches in the group lunchroom on the Mezzanine Level.  Refrigerators and microwaves are not available.  You will be provided with a scheduled 25-minute time slot in the lunchroom for your group.


  Option B:  Lunch in COSI's AtomiCafé Restaurant

Small groups or chaperones may choose to buy a hot lunch in the AtomiCafé on Level One. A variety of food is available from main dishes to Pizza Hut pizza.  Please let the Call Center know if your group will be eating in the Café because seating is only available to those that purchase food there.  Lines may be lengthy around lunchtime, so you might want to stagger your arrival time in the café.
