Review & FAQ:

The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal preserves Cincinnati's historic Union Terminal building, constructed in 1933 as a passenger train station and considered to be one of the United States' finest preserved examples of Art Deco architecture. The terminal was preserved as a National Historic Landmark in 1977 and was saved from demolition in 1986 after a vote to convert the building into a museum center for Cincinnati families to enjoy. Today, the terminal houses a number of family-friendly science and cultural museums, including the Cincinnati History Museum, the Museum of Natural History and Science, and the Duke Energy Children's Museum. It is also home to the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX Theater, which presents large-screen and 3D film showings.

While the historic terminal building at The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal is open to the public for free for exploration of its historic architecture, many museum center attractions require a ticketed upcharge.
