We loved the Children's Museum and Dinosaur exhibit. This was one of the highlights in our Cincinnati visit.

We also loved the use of the old train station and... more

They have it structured where you can purchase admission to the whole center, or just the children's part which is great for the wallet.... more

I went to see the Omnimax film on Greece. An employee in the tech booth talked loudly on the phone throughout much of the film, ruining the experience for me. Twenty minutes into the show, I got up and walked around in the dark looking for another seat hoping to get away from his noise. I found an empty seat... more

The Childrens Museum is a great place for kids! My children (ages 3 and 7) had so much fun and could have spent the entire day there. There are so many hands on, educational activities to choose from, any child would enjoy spending the day here! more
