Duke Energy Childrens Museum at Museum Center

Kids can climb, crawl, explore and learn about themselves and the world around them in the Duke Energy Children’s Museum. Discover hands-on fun for kids of all ages in nine educational and dramatic exhibit areas. Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal is home to the Cincinnati History Museum, Duke Energy Children’s Museum, the Museum of Natural History & Science, the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX Theater, and the Cincinnati Historical Society Library. It is a nationally recognized educational and research resource and one of the top cultural attractions in the Midwest. More than one million people visit annually, reaching out to almost 200,000 young people through hands-on exhibits and programming. As a center for the entire community, more than 700 events are held in the building each year. Originally built in 1933 as the Union Terminal train station, the building is a national historic landmark and was renovated and re-opened as Cincinnati Museum Center in 1990.
