My family and I went on a Friday and had a great time. It was pretty busy, but I anticipated that. Be prepared to walk from the parking lot to the front of the building. It's a little longer than a "typical" walk. I love how family-friendly everything is. Buying a Children's Museum Ticket for the day also includes the Natural History Museum, which is very cool. It was a lot less crowded, too. There is plenty of room for wheelchairs to get through. The bathrooms were pretty clean, too, considering the number of people. I also live the available seating around many of the activities for parents/guardians. Food items are available for purchase in a couple of different areas. I believe the main floor and down near the Children’s Museum. We packed our own food and drink in a backpack. There is seating in these areas to eat as well. I didn't see any disinfecting wipes around, so if you prefer a clean table, I would bring some. I saw hand sanitizer stations on one side of the Children's Museum, but I didn't see any by the water table area or the climbing area. The only one I noticed was empty. I would recommend bringing some hand sanitizer too. Visiting both museums really made the cost worth it. It was cheaper than going to the Newport Aquarium. The gift shop was cute, and there are items of all price ranges...
Read moreWe had such a great experience and day at the Cincinnati Union Terminal. The art deco train station is a marvel to see. The museum is set up so nicely and is easy to navigate. We visited the Natural History Museum and the Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center. We went early to avoid the crowds and children. Tickets were $22 a piece and entry to the Holocaust and Humanity Center was $3 extra. Parking was $6. In total, I was charged $56. We visited the Holocaust and Humanity Center alone. What a shame that more people aren’t taking advantage of this exhibition. Local survivors from the Holocaust share their memories. It is an extremely moving experience. The museum was incredible. I enjoyed the palaeontology side of the museum with all the artifacts and seeing archeological workers work on artifacts. I also enjoyed the caves and going through the ice age exhibit. I’ve never seen a display of a city like Cincinnati done like quite like the exhibition. It’s remarkable. I can’t say enough good things about this museum. From the architecture, friendly employees to the artifacts on display it’s incredible, but also the Holocaust and Humanity Center is something everyone should see so we stand up and be active upstanders and prevent atrocities like this from ever...
Read moreI have been in love with this building and the museums since they first opened. I am originally from Cincinnati and came often when I lived here. I have moved about 11 years ago and miss this place dearly. Just was in town to see family and had to come to my absolutely favorite place in Cincinnati. The building alone, inside and out, is worth the visit. 1930’s Art Deco theme has always been a favorite of mine. The murals and the ceiling of the Grand Rotunda are just beyond words to me. I can’t stop looking up. Each museum is so informative and has so many amazing displays. I mean, to actually feel like you’re walking through a glacier, an ancient forest, a cave with waterfalls and stalactites and stalagmites is amazing! To have the whole city of Cincinnatifrom the 1930’s in miniature with the trolleys, inclines, trains, people dressed for the time period, businesses, just every detail is so perfect! Having an old trolley car to walk in and sit down in as well as having a full sized boat with storefronts and the old cobblestone streets? So cool. The service from the museum staff is super friendly and helpful. The Museum store always has beautiful and interesting stuff. I am not sure how one could not...
