Cincinnati Museum Center

We are so, so lucky to have the Cincinnati Museum Center as a staple of our community. I have been coming here since I was a child — genuinely, for as long as I can remember, I have been learning and growing as a young woman here. The Children’s Museum is amazing for kids, with activities, games, and interactive exhibits. The Natural History and Cincinnati History areas are full of unique topics, local history, interesting exhibits, and more. I LOVE it there. I could spend hours upon hours taking my time to read, understand, and think about everything. There is also an IMAX theater here, as well as rotating exhibits that travel throughout the country. The most recent exhibit I visited was the Pompeii exhibit, and it was wonderfully done. There were historical objects on display to convey the art and culture of the era, as well as pertaining to the disaster specifically. I am so thankful for the Cincinnati Museum Center. I always have loved it there, and cannot wait to continue to see what its future holds.

The museum was stunning. A majority of the exhibits are interactive to some degree which makes it even cooler for adults. The childrens museum is WICKED cool complete with a town; supermarket, house, post office, dump, dentist office ect took our 18m.o. our 4y.o. and nana and everyone had a fantastic time. 4 hours very well spent and we probably missed a couple spots. We will definitely be back!

Best membership we ever spent. My kid loves this place. Cup and Pint is great. The guy that works there is the best. Beard envy! Really nice stuff in the gift shop. Don't mind spending money when it's not cheap junk. So glad they are open every day now. Wish they had membership lounge.

The Cincinnati Museum Center is such a cool spot. The Art Deco building alone is worth the visit; seriously gorgeous and full of vintage charm. We grabbed tickets on Groupon which made it super easy (saved a few dollars), and the exhibits ended up being way more fun and interactive than I expected (even just for two adults). We skipped the kids’ museum this time, but the other areas had so many hands-on things that I’m sure the children’s section is awesome too. We spent about 3–4 hours wandering around and never felt too crowded, even on a Sunday morning. Parking was a easy. Overall, just a really fun, easy, and memorable way to spend half a day.

Loved this place. So educational. The miniature Cincinnati setup was amazing especially switching from day to night and trolleys, trains, and cars movie. Oh and the plane circling. I was mesmerized. The ice cream sadly was closed. Just a gorgeous structure. Loved that the original doors were still in use and there were other items from long ago that were used. One complaint. The food at the restaurant was simply awful. $17 for a hot dog, chips, and drink. The hot dog was tossed it was just that bad on a cold stale bun with only ketchup and mustard as options. The hog dog was cold. For that alone I won't return. The staff, except one lady who served the tray at the counter, weren't cordial. She was though. Didn't have plain chips so she watched my tray while I was told to go back out of the restaurant and select some and return. I want my money back! Lol. Stay away from the restaurant.

What a great place to visit. My daughter had the best time, and I even enjoyed myself. My daughter especially wanted to see the Barbie exhibit, and she wasn't disappointed. I have to say myself I even enjoyed it. The cave system was awesome, but there were a few spots where a more rounder person like myself might have a hard time squeezing, though. I was able to do it with a little holding my breath, lol.

I enjoy my time at the museum. It was very interesting and diverse exhibits. However I believe most adults would rather go during the week when their are fewer children running around.
