The Cincinnati Children’s Museum

Today, since it is one of the few Saturday’s in the year that we don’t have a sporting event, we went to the Cincinnati Children’s Museum. This museum is in with several other Cincinnati museums in the historic Cincinnati Train Terminal. This is one of the prettiest buildings that I have seen in this area. It was a place where, in the 1920s and 30s, the trains would arrive and buses, cabs, and personal cars would greet visitors coming to Cincinnati. I hope that you enjoy the shots of the museum and the family!

Here is a picture of the clan in front of the Terminal. We also had our two nephews, John and Josh, along for the day.

Here is an example of the type of signage that is up everywhere.

It has this huge open area from which you can get to all the museum’s and the IMAX theater.

On of the best parts of this common area are the murals that surrounds most of the walls.

Once we got into the Children’s Museum, Nick and Kelly had a chance to look at one of the exhibits.

The biggest hit by far is the water area where all the kids, young and old, get to enjoy being a little wet! The first picture is Max managing things and the second is Luke and Kelly working the ropes.

I took this picture just after Josh and Jake had sabotaged one of the water exhibits. At least they don’t look guilty!

There is a large ball area where you can use different pulley’s, channels, etc. to move balls around to a centralized pit. Here Luke tries his hand at working the ball channels.
