The Children's Museum

The Children's Museum is a museum in Cincinnati with eight dedicated play areas that feature interactive exhibits on science, art, history, and community for children aged 0 to 10. Each zone is designed to match different ages and how children naturally learn.

The museum opened as part of the Cincinnati Museum Center and has grown into a place where families discover hands-on learning experiences. This reflects a long tradition of making education accessible to young visitors.

In Energy Zone and Kids Town, children explore scientific ideas and discover how communities work by doing things themselves. These spaces show how learning happens when kids are free to experiment and play.

Weekday visits work best when crowds are smaller and children have more space to explore freely. Wear comfortable shoes and allow time for kids to linger in areas they enjoy most, since they often spend longer than expected in each zone.

The Inside the Grin exhibit features an oversized mouth structure that children can walk into and explore dental health in a playful way. This giant interactive mouth makes dental concepts real and transforms learning into an adventure.
