What is CSI: The Experience ?
CSI: The Experience is an interactive exhibit providing visitors with a hands-on, exploratory, multi-sensory experience in the world of crime scene investigation. It is designed to educate the public about forensic processes, procedures and technologies. At the exhibit, visitors will investigate a “real” crime scene and interact via video with favorite characters from the hit television show as well as real-life forensic experts.

Do you provide accompanying educational materials for this exhibit?
Yes, additional educational materials (Family Guide and Educator’s Resource Guide) may be downloaded here.
Who should attend CSI: The Experience?

This exhibit is most effective for visitors from age 12 to adult.

The preview includes facts to help you make a well-informed decision about the appropriateness for younger audiences.
Are the exhibit scenes and videos unique?
Yes, our exhibit features never-before-seen footage of your favorite CSI characters as well as footage from real-life crime scene investigators and forensic analysts. By combining the show’s education and entertainment with real-life expert teaching, we provide an engaging format for learning the processes of investigative forensic technology.

What will visitors do as they walk through the exhibit?
Upon entering, you will be briefed via video and then directed to one of three staged crime scenes. Once on the scene, you will use your investigator’s notebook to examine the evidence and determine what you believe to be the important clues. After you complete your crime scene investigation, you will compare your clues with those of a real crime scene investigators and determine which clues need further analysis.
Then, you will proceed to the labs to investigate your findings. You will also visit the medical examiner for your autopsy report and note the important medical evidence. CSI characters and real-life experts are “working” via video in our virtual labs to explain tire track comparison, blood spatter analysis, firearms technology comparison, and much more; use the data they provide to help you examine your specific crime scene clues in the lab. You may be asked to compare tire tracks, pollen fibers, DNA, or shell casings. Finally, you will submit your report and conclusions at the end of your investigation and learn whether you have correctly solved the case.

What are the differences between the three crime scenes?
Each crime scene is a different scenario with a separate story line and unique clues, but they are all equally engaging and challenging to solve. Each mystery involves a visit to the medical examiner and various crime labs. Your group will be assigned one of the three scenes when you arrive at the exhibit.
Which kind of analyzing and testing I could do?
Investigation: A House Collided
“A House Collided” investigators will compare fingerprints of the victim to the evidence, examine blood spatter patterns, observe the shoes of the victim and tracks found in the room, compare fibers on the victim’s clothes with fibers in the room, analyze the victim’s blood-alcohol level, compare DNA of the victim with evidence and eventually discover the cause of death.
Investigation: Who Got Served?
For “Who Got Served?” the investigation will include reviewing evidence within a cell phone, examining the contents of the handbag, inspecting the purse and headshot for fingerprints, establishing the time of death, reviewing DNA samples, testing powder from the handbag at the scene, and discovering the cause of death.


Investigation: No Bones About It!
Sleuths working on “No Bones About It!” will analyze the bullet from the found skull, analyze hairs found with the body, examine a seed found in a the pocket of a coat, study a DNA sample from a tooth, test the DNA of an animal’s hair, examine a femur bone to establish the height of the victim, compare dental records to the victim and discover the cause of death.


Can I choose the scene I want?
If the crowd patterns are light enough, most venues will be able to accommodate requests.
To whom do I report?
At the end of the exhibit, present your findings in a recreation of the office of Gil Grissom—the enigmatic CSI head investigator. You will answer a series of multiple choice questions, based on your scientific findings, on touch screens located in this area. After completing these questions, a case summary is generated and you’ll match your results to those of expert crime scene investigators! At the very end, you enter your data and you will receive your personal CSI: Diploma.
Is there an audio tour?
CSI: The Experience is unlike most typical museum tours. The multimedia is an integral part of the exhibit and will be used by each participant as they proceed through the learning environment. You will access the media at each station, rather than carry a guided museum audio commentary with you.

Once you enter the exhibit, you may investigate as long as you wish. Average time in each crime scene is approximately 10 minutes. Most guest spend 50 minutes to 1 hour in the exhibit overall.

Can I take my own pictures in the exhibit?

We do everything that we can to make sure that you will be as safe as possible during your adventure.

How long is a zipline adventure?
If you’re taking a tour, you’ll likely spend around 1 1/2 hours at the tour. It takes about 20 minutes to complete orientation and training. The canopy tour tends to take around an hour and a half to complete. You will get to ride all 7 zip lines that range from 450 to 2,000 feet long.

Do I have to do a lot of walking or hiking?
Not much at all. You need to walk about 300’ to our training area and first tower. There are two towers that have circular staircases, one has 45 steps and the other has 65 steps. After you complete the 7th line, you will be transported in a Polaris ATV back up to our Lodge to view your pictures.

Can anyone go on a ziplining tour?
Our tour is designed for use by anyone who is over the age of three (children this young will tandem ride with one of our experienced guides or confident and responsible parent). You must be over seventy pounds to ride alone. The zip line is able to carry passengers who are between the weight of seventy and two hundred and seventy-five pounds. It is requested that participants in a zip lining tour are in average health with no heart or back problems that might result in a worsening health issue.

Can you go on a zip lining adventure when you are pregnant?
No, if you are pregnant you will not be allowed to go on a zip lining adventure, but we hope that you will contact us about an adventure after you have had your child.

Should I wear anything special?
When you’re planning on going on a zip line adventure, the first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothing. Skirts are not permitted unless you are wearing shorts or pants under it, and you should not wear any type of jewelry that dangles. Close-toed shoes are required and anything that’s loose, like scarves, should be removed. If you have long hair, it should be tied back, and you should take everything out of your pockets, including cell phones, so that they do not end up hopelessly lost on the floor of the forest.

Do you still offer zipline tours in cold weather? 
Yes!  The temperature can drop when you’re going on a zip line during the winter months, so make sure that you dress appropriately. Thick socks, a warm jacket that can zip up, a warm winter hat, thermal underwear, and even a face mask can be helpful if you’re going to be on a zip lining adventure in the winter months.

Do I have to wear any special equipment?
Your guide will fit you securely into a seat harness. You’ll also be given a helmet, gloves, a trolley system, which is what moves you throughout the cables, and 2 lanyards that have safety clips on them.

How about the rain? Can I go down the zip line in the rain?
You can go down a zip line in the rain, but not if there is any lightning. We try to make sure that we contact everyone who is booked for a zip lining adventure in the event of a storm. If your adventure is canceled due to inclement weather, you can opt to reschedule.

Can children under three zipline?
No. Children must be at least three years of age to zipline.

How many people can go together?
We can have up to twelve people per tour. If your group consists of less than 12 people, you will likely be paired up with another small group.

Should I tip my guide?
That is totally up to you but it is common industry practice to give a tip to your guide. If they have provided you with the experience that you were hoping for, it is normal for a guide to receive a 10-15% tip per person.
