You can spend all day here and not feel like you are seeing everything. Admission is fairly cheap and the collections are interactive, modern and worth every penny.

For those who need mobility assistance, they do have different types of mobility devices able at first come first serve. There are places to eat and have a sensory break if needed. Besides the extremely interactive children's museum, we loved how innovative the transportation museum is. This location being an old train station, made the experience even more interesting. They do rotate some items, but most are here to stay for your next visit.

Tickets were kind of pricey considering the place is small ($20 for adults), but I see it as supporting this amazing collection and the restoration of these signs to continue on. They also had a live neon bending demonstration when we were there, although we did not stay for the whole thing it was very interesting to learn how the signs are made and how the colors are created. They also have a section with antique hand painted freak show signs. Overall just a super cool museum with so much to discover.

A++++++++++++ 10 out of 10!…read more Look, you're not going to find a museum dedicated to signs of this nature anywhere else. The American Sign Museum sat on my to-visit list for years. I couldn't wait to see it. That wait finally ended this past Labor Day weekend when we took a trip to Cincinnati. This museum is everything it's billed to be and more. In fact, you don't even need to go inside to start to experience some of the great signs that they've accumulated. From neon signs to murals to metal signs, canvas signs, posters..you name it, they have it all. I'm in my 50's so many of these signs resonate to my youth. We didn't have electronic devices back in the 1970's, so looking out the window during road trips was what we did. And it's then that I saw these signs and fell in love with them. As time strips and destroys them, it's truly awesome to see a museum that's restoring and displaying them in all of their brilliance. The artistic value alone for these signs is off the charts. And the neon signs are simply remarkable. I took about 400 pictures while we were here and will just post one to give you an idea of what's in store. Enjoy!

With…read morechildren involvement as the top priority, CAC has designed several interactive art features for a fully immersive experience. The grand elevator opens up to a whimsical wonderland of funky colors, shapes and designs. It is an open invitation to fun! The art is intended to be taken off shelves and manipulated into whatever a child's imagination leads them to. Sights and sounds throughout the CC provide a stimulating sensory experience for children and adults alike. Put a record on the record machine and mix some tunes or lay in a bowl of ravioli... the fun is endless!

The draw for me was the Gee Horton exhibit. It has since closed (as of August 30) but it was beautiful. I did visit the other exhibits while I was there and it took maybe less than an hour to go through the entire museum. I think the cost is pretty standard for a contemporary museum, but I'm not sure if they offer any free admission days as that would be a great incentive to get people in the doors. The staff I encountered were helpful and they also have a coffee shop with plenty of seating on the ground floor.

If you are a cat person (like me) you will go wild here - and if you are a particular fan of "Fortune Cats" (also like me) your head will explode. A huge inflatable Lucky Cat greets you outside the door, step inside and it's all Lucky Cats, you will be surrounded by Lucky Cats of all sizes, shapes, styles. Don't forget to look under your feet and above your head as well. There are antique lucky cats, giant lucky cats, teeny tiny miniature lucky cats, families, characters, lucky cats used in advertising campaigns, paintings, plushies, Lucky Cat slot machines, and singing/dancing lucky cats which you can activate! The gallery owner/guide is the sweetest lady you will ever meet and she has thorough knowledge of all things Lucky Cat. Fascinating to learn their history, earliest appearances, legends, meaning of which hand is doing the beckoning, historical references, the story behind many of the acquisitions, etc. We spilled over our one hour tour, and the time just went by so fast. But of course, I made sure we visited the gift shop and made a purchase before heading out. It is by appointment only, which is very simple to make on the website. The owner responds instantaneously to text messages and is so helpful. The collection has been building almost 25 years and I hope will continue to grow for many more to come. I hope to visit again before another year goes by. Easy parking in the art studio's lot, and totally accessible for wheelchairs or scooters. Admission fee is donation. Don't forget to sign the guest book!

It's a must encounter for every Christian who has ever wondered how the book of Genesis is relevant for today and compatible with science.

You will encounter friendly people, extremely well-thought-out exhibits, beautiful grounds, and architecture (especially the plants), easy services and amenities, and exceptional presentations by extremely intelligent and well researched people. And, of course, theme park priced food, which was good, but not exceptional.
