The city of Cincinnati in Ohio, United States, is popular for having one of the largest collections of 19th-century Italianate architecture in the United States. Boasting an eventful past, that made it an important centre for the Underground Railroad and antislavery movement, this municipality is a great place to catch a game of baseball or take paddle wheel boat ride along the tranquil Ohio River. However the star of this unique city is the Cincinnati Museum Centre at Union Terminal which consists of three museums in the names of Duke Energy Children’s Museum, Cincinnati History Museum and Museum of Natural History & Science.
The Duke Energy Children’s Museum, formerly known as Cinergy Children’s Museum is dedicated to children below thirteen. The infants can enjoy playing at Kids Town which is pint-sized and inclusive of a post office, grocer, fix-it shop, Play houses and more, whereas at the ‘Little Sprouts’, the children below five can have a great time.
Kids above four years can make their own house, tower or bridge with building blocks and legos at the ‘Kids at Work’, which can be afterwards captured as a photo and put on the construction wall. Even better, at the large table named ‘Water Works’ where you can see water run to the bottom pool from the top pool, kids can work a canal, build a dam and use pulleys to ring a bell, if getting wet is an option for them. The little ones aspiring to be construction workers in the future have the chance to engage in some playful constructional work at the ‘Building Zone’,
Duke Energy Children’s Museum offers enjoyment for the older kids as well, with features such as ‘the Woods’, which is a quite large outdoor themed indoor play set. Here kids can watch real fish in action, explore cave life or slide down the enclosed tree tube. And kids can gain some knowledge about animals by comparing different types of animals’ bones and skins at the ‘Animal Spot’ which is a collection of display cases.
Additionally there are two resource centres for kids, Parent Resource Centre and a voice guiding system making the experience at the museum truly exceptional. Make your stay in this city comfortable by choosing one of the Cininnati hotels. You won’t regret the choice of Millennium Hotel Cincinnati which provides superior Cincinnati hotel rooms and magnificent views of the Cincinnati skyline.
