Originally constructed as a train station, it now hosts the Cincinnati Museum Center; a complex containing the Cincinnati History Museum, The Natural History Museum, and the Children’s Museum. The CMC website states CMC as the largest cultural center in our city boasting more than 1.8 million visitors a year.Inside of the Cincinnati History Museum you will find a lot of Sports memorabilia and inventions from our city. The most eye-catching exhibit for me is definitely the Cities in Motion Miniature Scale model of 1900-1950’s Cincinnati. This model includes 7,000 people, 1200 buildings, 500 vehicles and 350 animals, between downtown, the Cincinnati Zoo, Crosley Field, and even Clifton Heights; there is no shortage of eye candy here to keep you entertained and looking for secrets.Further inside of the history museum is the Public Landing a replica of a historic Ohio River town with stores and a riverboat. There is another section about the inventions that shaped the founding of Cincinnati and an accompanying exhibit about items and products created in Cincinnati. There are also plans for an Indigenous People’s Gallery coming in 2026.Inside of the Natural History Museum, the new exhibit is the Neil Armstrong Space Exploration gallery, mainly featuring realistic high-resolution images of deep space. This museum is also where you will find the Dinosaur Hall complete with multiple complete late-Jurassic dinosaur skeletons. In the same area is an interactive mechanical power exhibit and finally a hall dedicated to showcasing the beauty of nature.That is not all the Natural History exhibit has to offer as there is also a 500-foot cooled cave experience. The cave takes you through multiple waterfalls and eventually leads you to an Ice Age exhibit, there are many other things to find throughout the building, including the newest photo-exhibit Lens of History Exhibit showcasing over 200 photos of Black contribution to Cincinnati’s history. And the breathtaking Omnimax - which I didn’t have the time for.All in all, if you are new to Cincinnati or just curious about the history of the city we reside in, I would highly recommend getting a day ticket for $22 or an individual membership for $66 which grants you free admission for a year and $7 Omnimax tickets, along with several other benefits. From the signs and beautiful murals, to the stylized remnants of the train terminal, Cincinnatians are lucky to have such a great homage to history and specifically this city’s history.</div></body>
