CSI: The Experience Receives National Recognition from The Franklin Institute

By: Sep. 19, 2011

CSI: The Experience, the unique Las Vegas attraction based on the hit CBS show, has received national recognition from The Franklin Institute, one of the top learning establishments in the country, as an official learning exhibition. To receive this acknowledgment, CSI: The Experience was evaluated in the six categories of the National Science Education Content Standards.

A visit to CSI: The Experience enables students to learn about forensic science while honing their observational skills. During a trip through the attraction, students are immersed in multiple branches of science: physical science, technical science and personal and social science. With this acknowledgement, parents can be confident that children will leave the attraction with more information that they came in with.

"We are thrilled to have this type of acknowledgement for CSI: The Experience" said Marketing Manager Ava Bahnam Wideen. "We love the work that we do with schools in Las Vegas and are very honored to be recognized in this way. We are proud of the fact that CSI: The Experience can entertain and educate at the same time."

A challenging and fun multi-sensory attraction, CSI: The Experience places guests in the role of crime scene investigator as they solve one of three true-to-life mysteries. Spanning 12,000 square feet and featuring thousands of hand-made props, CSI: The Experience comes to life through a captivating multi-media environment featuring dazzling special effects, meticulous crime scene recreations and two state-of-the-art crime labs with 15 lab stations.
