Really enjoyed our outing to the Cincinnati Fire Museum. Very interesting exhibits and my toddler had fun dressing up as a Fire fighter. Would recommend.

Hidden gem. Very well curated and also kid friendly. Plenty for adults and kids alike to explore and learn. I've been wanting to go; now I wish I hadn't waited so long. It's just the right size for the kids--plenty but not too much.
