    This is a really great place to go with the kids or even adults. Several different areas to see. From the Children's museum to the ice field to the Cave to the Omnimax theater.... And much more. Great place to spend the day... especially on a Cold snowy January day!

    Just this year I had my first experience riding Amtrak. And what an awesome experience. From the ease of check in to the comfortable ride, I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner. The train fare is cheap and you can check two bags for free. I always sit in coach seating. The seats are oversized and recline nearly all the way back. And every seat has a three prong plug for charging all your gadgets. No need to ever power down gadgets at any point; You can keep your cell phone on the entire time. It's nice to walk between trains and enjoy the cafe/dining car. You get nearly a gourmet meal in the dining car. It's a little pricey for food but I guess they have to make up for the cheap fair somewhere. It's interesting to see the many small towns and scenery as you pass by; and don't worry about ever having to change trains. Unless you are traveling across country, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Make sure you allow extra time for delays because Amtrak shares the track with CSX and the freight trains have the right of way. So expect some delays on the front or back end of your trip. Otherwise, have fun experiencing Amtrak.

    If you've ever done any research into the history of Cincinnati's Union Terminal you'll discover that during its heyday it made CVG look like child's play. But, alas, those days are long gone and the railroad station portion of the facility was tore down to make way for a large rail yard. That being said, Amtrak still faithfully utilizes the terminal on the lone surviving train platform, located at the back edge of the building. I happen to love trains and have taken several trips in & out of here on Amtrak.....mostly to Chicago. The prices aren't bad at all, if you have the time and inclination. I will add that if you've ever traveled by train around Europe (as I have) you will be sorely disappointed if you expect the same level of service. In fact, Amtrak is notoriously late. The schedule for the single daily train couldn't be any less user-friendly but that's only because it's the Cardinal - which runs back and forth between New York and Chicago. The train stops here in the early morning hours - 1am (ish) for Chicago-bound and 4am (ish) for the NY bound trains. It's not really that bad when you consider that it's kind of fun and adventurous. NY-Cincinnati is actually a neat trip.....albeit long. The segment between here and DC is beautiful - especially in the mountains. When I go to Chicago on Amtrak I'll typically take the train up and ride the Megabus back. The bus is nice as well. Seats on Amtrak trains are large and comfortable. Each seat has an electrical outlet for your gadgets and they recline as well. During the winter the cars can be cold, so bring a blanket or heavy coat. Please note, the area around the Union Terminal is not safe. Use caution and do not leave your car in the parking lot if you're traveling. There are several cab companies that can be called upon for transit to/from the station.....although they are not cheap.
