Not really for the under ten crowd!

by mhbeverly at Citysearch

I visited this past weekend with an almost 3 and almost 7 year old. Although my kids loved the KidZone area - an area with scheduled entrance times and a visit lasting only 45 minutes - the rest of the museum was over their heads. Some of the exhibits that would have been age appropriate didn't work. Overall it was just OK and I wish we had done the zoo instead but it is January! We'll visit Cincinnati's this weekend and report back.

  • Pros: KidZone area, climbing wall, easy parking
  • Cons: reading required

Fun.... for about 3-4 hours?

by AdrienK at Citysearch

Two friends and I went to this museum about a month ago and I must say, even though i am 15, i had a lot of fun for about 2 hours, and then after we saw about half of the museum it got very boring and kinda childish. i would give it ** out *****

  • Pros: lots of displays, hands-on
  • Cons: Bad location
