Constructed in an old passenger railroad station, the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal now houses three museums, an OMNIMAX theater and a library in its massive facility. Learn about the history of the city at the Cincinnati History Museum; explore the entire world at the Museum of Natural History and Science; or let the little ones have a blast at the Duke Energy Children's Museum.
Every guest of the Queen City needs to try some of the distinct, famous Cincinnati chili, different from any other kind in the country. Skyline Chili—a local franchise in the Tri-State and surrounding areas—is one of the best places to experience genuine Cincy chili, as well as the "official chili" of many local sports teams and venues.
About half an hour away from the heart of Cincinnati, Trammel Fossil Park in Sharonville is a wonderfully underappreciated family attraction. At the far end of an industrial park road, this hidden treasure offers tons of family fun for those budding paleontologists or anyone with an interest in natural history. The Fossil Hunt allows visitors to explore the plethora of fossils hands-on.
