Do I have your attention? Great! Lets get into the details of the museum itself then!

 The Cincinnati Museum Center houses three separate branches within, including a space for featured, rotating exhibits. The three museums include: The Childrens Museum, Cincinnati History Museum, and the Museum of Natural History and Science. While the Childrens Museum obviously caters to the little thinkers of tomorrow, the other two museums include activities in them to get the little ones interested in what's around them. Let's break it down one by one though, shall we? 

The Children's Museum: 

What you see above is the larger part of the Childrens Museum, the indoor jungle gym named "The Woods" which encourages children to engage in their imagination and challenge their physical capabilities by interacting with the environment. There's also a handful of other activities within the Childrens museum which includes the energy zone, where the children learn that they can make energy using their own bodies, while also challenging their critical thinking skills to get a ball to an intended destination. Another activity is kids town, where they can work in and explore little shops within the town, one of which even being a Kroger! It goes without saying that there is plenty to do in the childrens museum to entertain them, some of the activities are even entertaining to the parents and caregivers. 

Cincinnati History Museum: 

As one can imagine, the Cincinnati History Museum delves into the history of Cincinnati. The main staple of this museum being large diorama of downtown Cincinnati. All the buildings (and bridges) seen in the diorama have all been 3D modeled and printed by the design staff of the CMC. The diorama actually takes up the whole first level of the museum. Fun fact, the whole reason the museums (including the Museum of Natural History and Science in the other wing) have sub levels is because said sub levels were once ramps for cars, taxis and buses when CMC was still Union Terminal. The second sublevel actually includes an old cable street car from downtown. In the bottom level of this museum, my favorite part, is Public Landing. A cobbled street takes you to the ramp of a river queen paddle boat, and to antique buildings, including a pharmacy, a tailor and a photographer.

I would discuss the Museum of Natural History and Science, but I believe it deserves it's own post, so lets hop back in time and see what wonders the CMC has in store!
