From their website:
“Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) is a one-of-a-kind, multi-museum complex housed in Union Terminal, a historic Art Deco train station and National Historic Landmark. CMC's major offerings at Union Terminal include the Cincinnati History Museum, the Cincinnati History Library and Archives, The Children's Museum, the Museum of Natural History & Science and the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater. CMC is the largest cultural institution in the city of Cincinnati, with more than 1.8 million visitors per year.”
NOTE: This is the venue for the Thursday night StarBQ. Consider visiting during the Explore Day afternoon on Friday if you’re not attending the StarBQ
Fun fact #1: The Museum Center, also known as Union Terminal, is the inspiration for the Hall of Justice, home of The Justice League from DC Comics.
Fun fact #2: If you stand at one end of the arch in the rotunda and whisper upward, a person can hear your whisper on the other end of the arch.
Fun fact #3: The CMC sits right next to Kenner Street. Kenner Toys was located there in the 1970s when they won the bid to be the only manufacturer of Star Wars toys.
