An art deco train station turned into a series of world-class museums

by Contributor

In Short
As the world's largest self-supporting half-dome structure, Union Terminal is an attraction in itself. Inside, it features a magnificent series of mosaics depicting the history of transportation. Among the other sites in the Museum Center, visitors can explore a Kentucky limestone cavern or go back 19,000 years to the Ice Age that shaped the Ohio Valley region in the Museum of Natural History & Science. There's also the Cincinnati History Museum, and the Duke Energy Children's Museum.

Something For Everyone

by cincygreg

From the Childrens Museum to the Natural History Museum, to the Omnimax to the seasonal exhibits, the Museum center in Cincinnati is top notch. Inside the old Union Terminal bulding, it's apeice of Cincinnati History Itself.

The museum center provides the Cincinnati area with a large amount of history, both in the history museum and the natural history museum. The cave in the natural history museum is awesome.

occupied kids!!

The Children's Museum at the Museum Center is great for families. There is so much for the kids to do, from cooking and serving meals in a diner to exploring caves and treehouses. You can spend hours in here!

• Pros: Lots for kids to do, inexpensive
• Cons: Lots of walking, expensive food
