Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal

Wonderful building with good museums . Friendly staffs and/or volunteers all around made it a very interactive experience for the kids on the History of Cincinnati side.

Such a great example of Art Deco at its finest. Oh and world class museums and IMAX. Try catching an organ concert in there. Awesome.

The Rookwood Tea Room (now an ice cream shop ) is in the front of the rotunda to the right as you enter the building. The floor and walls are covered in Rookwood Tile. It housed the USO during WWII. Read more

A gorgeous historic facility that houses 3 museums , a special exhibit gallery , and an Omnimax theatre (IMAX in a dome).

This was once the site of Lincoln Park , which featured boats on a beautiful lake . By the 1920s it was filled with the homeless, so city leaders decided to close the park and build Union Terminal here. Read more

The history here is fantastic. Catch an Omnimax film and visit the Cincinnati history museum . I also did the High Steel tour .

The check in desk was usually dormant during the day but became a hub of activity every evening as porters checked travelers in for overnight trains . The large murals can now be found at CVG.

The Egypt Exhibition was excellent. It’s very large. Allow at least two hours. Saw a replica of the Rosetta Stone.

Come see the Mistletones as they carol throughout the Museum Center, Wednesday-Sunday through Christmas Eve. Also, check out A Christmas Carol (abridged) in Rickart Auditorium - free to the public!

There's a hidden area with train tables for the kiddos (by the Cincinnati Zoo display). You can check out a box of trains to play with at the kiosk, as you enter the museum .

Really amazing museum with a lot of history in Cincinnati. Highly recommend spending half the day here.

Holiday junction , is free until Christmas Day if you are a duke energy customer. Call them for your confirmation code before you come. didn't call before you came? call now, it's not too late. :-)

You must stare at the rotunda and think...wow it is 106 feet to the top. Go to the corner of the rotunda by the Rookwood Ice Cream Parlor and send a friend to the opposite corner. You can hear each ot Read more

The natural history and science museum is very nice my favorite part is when you get to travel into a cave :)

Featuring room-sized frescos , gold coins, bronze & marble sculptures , hundreds of priceless artifacts & the largest collection of body casts ever on display – all frozen in time. Through August 12.

3 for the price of 1! Cincinnati History Museum , Duke Energy Children’s Museum , and Museum of Natural History & Science ($12.50 adults, $8.50 kids). The perfect affordable outing for the whole family! Read more

Don't miss their Music in the Museum concert series. You can literally feel every beautiful note from the 1929 EM Skinner organ whose divisions (4,000 pipes worth!) are hidden behind the false ticket Read more

The Duke Energy Holiday Trains are a Cincinnati tradition. Their new home at Museum Center affords a lot more room to the display and includes the neighboring Holiday Junction area.

For the best photos: shoot first thing in the morning when the rising sun is hitting the front of the building. In the evenings the sun sets behind it, leaving the facade in the dark.

During the busy holiday season come as soon as the museum opens or earlier (10am) to ensure a close parking spot and a short line at the ticket counter.

You could spend a day here! Good for families , couples, dates, and even those going alone.

The people working here were very nice. They need 2do something about their lines . It seems that we spent half of our time waiting in line . Also, there needs 2B more handicap parking near the doors.

Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit attendance is increasing. Last weekend several times sold out. Get tickets in advance & go now before the crush if all the last minute crunch.

The DaVinci exhibit was very nice but due to the remodeling there is nothing else to do here unless you have kids. A return trip when it's finished is definitely on my list.

The princess Diana memorabilia tour is coming to the museum after the dinosaurs exhibit leaves, from February to August 2014. Get ready!!

Highly suggest the "Mysteries of the Great Lakes " film in the Omnimax Theatre ...magnificent! I'd also suggest stopping to speak to the youth helpers who sit along the museum exhibits , very informative Read more

Cincinnati Union Terminal at 12 minutes drive to the south of Pump Salon Cincinnati

The museum offers an online exhibition to commemorate the life and career of Abraham Lincoln. It features digital scans of primary historical documents in Lincoln's hand, or signed by him.

Great place to visit on a cold day off with the kids! Also a fantastic venue to hold a wedding especially if you want great wedding photos & video.

Take a tour that includes the President's Suite. It's been beautifully restored. The floors and walls are cork to deaden the sound of trains . Be sure to turn around and look above the door! [LINK] Read more

Took the kids, didn't tell them is was history related, they enjoyed themselves, when pointed out that they learned a little history they were still intrigued.

A great experience for the entire family. Take the time to discover this gem of Cincinnati.

There are three museums , an omnimax and a train station all in this fantastic historic building .

If you live in the area, I highly recommend getting a membership. It's very affordable and worth every cent, especially if you have kids of any age.

Always a great place to visit. Try to go to the man-made caves down in the Natural History portion of the museum . Try the SpaceMan ice cream at the gift shop !

Cincinnati Union Terminal under construction on 2/26/32; the art deco landmark opened on 3/31/33. The arch represented a metaphorical gateway to the city . Photo courtesy Cincinnati Museum Center.

Must see for photo ops - great architecture . IMAX is worth going for too.

Two next weekend is the last for the remarkable Cleopatra exhibit . It is the best exhibit ever in Cincinnati. See it!

Under the Sea at the Omnimax Theatre ! Narration by Jim Carrey makes it way more interesting than anything I saw there when I was younger. The 45 minute show is worth the $7.50 Read more

On really crowded days, be sure to take a sedative before entering the Children's Museum ..

Best location for great museums possible!

Talk facing the wall in opposite front corners of rotunda & your voice will follow the arch of the 106 foot tall ceiling & be heard in opposite corner!

Did you know? There's a treasure hunt in The Woods area! The first clue is across from the slide!

Don't wait to take children. At six months they will enjoy the Little Peeps area which is reserved for those under 18 months

The Star Wars and The Power of Costume event was AWESOME!

One of our Favorite spots when we visit Cincinnati

America I Am is a very cool exhibit . Check it out. Wish I could've stayed longer to read more about the displays.

Take the elevator for a quicker way to holiday junction .

The rotunda tour is well worth the time! And it's FREE!

If u take ur children to the water play area in the childrens musuem don't get pissy if u get wet!!
