Ok, this is one of Amanda's favorite things for the summer - Free Friday's at the Museum Center. Free Fridays allows the public to visit all three museums at Cincinnati Museum Center from 4 to 8 p.m.—admission is complimentary. There is a charge for parking - $5 per vehicle, but after 4:30 p.m. it goes down to $3 per vehicle.
Free Fridays dates for 2009 are:
May 22
June 26
July 24
August 21
September 11
Things to note - it does get crowded especially as the night goes on but the one is May is usually not nearly as crowded as the rest. Also we've found that if you get there early (I try to be there exactly at 4:30 to save the $2 in parking) and do the Children's museum FIRST (that's the one that gets the most crowded), then when it starts getting crowded, we move on to either the Cincinnati History or Natural History Museums. They are never crowded, and there's lots of fun stuff to do in them too, even for the little kids. In the Cincinnati History Museum Amanda has always liked the trains, fun for adults too since it shows how Cincinnati looked in the past, there's also a Thomas the train set tucked in behind the trains. She also enjoys the trolly car, and the Riverboat. Then in the Natural History Museum, there's the sand pit and the caves.
The offer includes the Cincinnati History Museum, Children’s Museum and the Museum of Natural History & Science. It does not include special exhibits or OMNIMAX® films.
