cincinnati museum center at union terminal

This is one of the best museum I have ever been too! Actually we have been a couple of times. There are a lot of things to do and see . All ages can find something fun to see and do. We will definitely go back again

My toddler grandson loves the water display, the ball cage, and grocery store . The areas allow for imagination and parental guided interactions with a happy group of child participants. Highly recommend an afternoon visit... A good time will be had by all!

If coming to Cincinnati OR you want to be a visitor in your own city, this has to be visited. People come from all over the world to view the architecture alone and the building itself COULD not be constructed today for less than $1 billion dollars. It's a family heaven with so much to see and do for kids of all ages, even the adult kids. If you like movies or experiences, go out of your way to watch the special IMAX theater they have here, it's amazing. Just make sure to give yourself almost the entire day to enjoy every little bit of it, you will not be sorry. And remember, this was all designed, at least inspiration, from the Hall of Justice.

The Museum Center is one of my favorite attractions, I've seem some amazing exhibits and enjoyed various museum functions over the years. That said, the current "Mummies" exhibit is the most disappointing I've ever seen there. They tell you there are "over 80" mummies on display, but they don't tell you included in that number are things like mummified cats found in abandoned buildings and fake "shunken heads" sold to tourists on Pacific islands, Yes, there are a fair number of "real" mummies (or at least what most people think of when the word "mummy" is used) and/or parts thereof on display, but the exhibit is quite small. We saw everything in the exhibit, and took the time to read every placard/display and were through the exhibit in a little over an hour. For this, we paid nearly $70 for the three us (me, wife, adult daughter), including parking. Sorry Museum Center, not your finest hour.

There are three museum. I don't have little ones, so I didn't go to the children's museum. The other museums were very cool.

We only went into the Duke Energy Children's museum, but all 3 of my kids had a great time! We have twin 4 year olds and a 9 month old and there was something new and fun at every corner. My girls got to run off some energy in The Woods exhibit (one of them is still talking about the super fast slide!), do a fizzy art project, learn about children around the world, and help build a house. We will definitely go back next time we are in the area, and hope to try the Natural History museum next time, too!

We had a great experience and everybody was really helpful and informative! I will def. go back!! Love the museums and the train station!

Attractions has 5 museums in one area, with a central food court. We did not have enough time to do all the museums. The kids really enjoyed the kids area on the lower level, especially the water feature (hands only to get wet.) Natural History had a labyrinth layout, with a sand pit for the little one. Great indoor attraction.

This historical building has THREE museums, and an Omni Max Theater! You can pay for one or all. The Children's Museum is AMAZING! Many Cincinnati family's get yearly passes!!

I really enjoyed the Cincinnati History museum. The displays were great, though many of the interactive devices were not functioning.I learned a lot about the history of the area and will go back again.

My wife and I enjoy bringing our kids to the museum and enjoying all that it has to offer. So many things to see and do. Every time we look at the train display we see something we missed from before. The history of the terminal and the museum have long been a landmark going back to WWII. My Grandfather told me about how he went through the terminal to leave to his tour of duty. I had the opportunity to show that area of the museum to my 2 sons, so the military history in the museum will always have a special place in my heart. The Museum of Natural History & Science always keeps my kids interested with the fossils and history of dinosaurs. The Cave is a must see!

Where to start...the history of the building itself is fantastic. There is so much to see and do with 3 separate museums under the same roof, plus the theater and we were lucky enough to catch the Mummie Exhibit that was passing through. We ran out of time honestly and walked away happy we were able to make a day of it all.

Love the Museum Center. There are 3 different museums to visit and and IMAX. Took a tour of the terminal also that was really interesting. Worth the drive from Dayton.

If you don't want to spend the money to visit the museum attractions at Union Terminal, it is worthwhile to simply enter the rotunda (at no cost) and take in the space. To me, it is the most iconic and unique sights in the Cincinnati area. The building houses the Children's Museum with several "hands on" exhibits, the Cincinnati Historical Museum, the Cincinnati Natural History Museum and the Omnimax Theater. And there is usually a special world class traveling historical exhibit. Presently showing is "Mummies of the World". Entrance to each exhibit can be purchased separately or as a package. There is a convenient, minimal cost, parking lot adjacent to the Museum Center. Worth a visit.

Thanks for visiting and for taking the time to leave a review! We're sorry to hear about your experience here. It's the goal of the Children's Museum to provide an educational and engaging experience through play to all visitors, and we'll follow up with the staff and volunteers there to ensure that something like this does not happen again. Thanks again, and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future!
