Sights and sounds throughout the CC provide a stimulating sensory experience for children and adults alike.

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.

There are both permanent exhibits and periodic special exhibits plus a small restaurant and gift shop. During this visit the special exhibit was quilts, and more specifically, quilts made with indigo dyed cloth. Indigo was a prized dye years ago many tears ago and entire plantations all over the world were growing and processing the plants. German scientists eventually developed a synthetic indigo dye that replaced the labor-intensive farming process that had been used for centuries. The Taft is a great place to spend some time. Free parking in their garage under the museum. Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors. Sundays and Mondays are free! Closed Tuesdays.

I'm from Buffalo and live in Pittsburgh, so I don't know much about Cincinnati (other than it is…read morethe birthplace of Skyline Chili) so it was interesting and fun to learn from the exhibits in this museum. There is a scale model of the city which was interesting to look at. The favorite part for us, though, was the model steamship and town streets. I like that the replica steamship had a lot of great historical information but also had some interactive elements. It doesn't take a huge amount of time to go through, but it is definitely worth the visit.

I lost track of which museum was which, but I think the old-time streets and paddlewheeler are part of this one too, and there were Christmas train displays and a Lego display. Also a "made in Cinci" area which we were too tired for but I would have loved to see. Old trolley, a Crosley, other old artifacts, interesting placards, interactive stuff for the kids. While it and the natural history museum were still busy, they were less nutso than the Children's Museum and still very fun for kids. Definitely would come back.

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!

They control the number of people for each time slot well, and you don't feel crowded if you want to linger and read information. They have comfortable seating areas in the 360 exhibit area, and the entire "show" was probably 45 minutes before the art starts to repeat. The best part about the immersive art is that you could choose to sit through it more than once, if you wish to. There's no time limit once you are inside. I think they do a great job trying to cluster information together to help you understand the training and path, and life, journey of the artist throughout each phase of their life. it's easy to just walk up and stare at a painting. I love that they took a certain view of the parliament building and showed how the artist painted it five times throughout his lifetime and how his style and colors changed with each phase of his life. I really think they tried hard to blend and history together, which is unique. It gave me a deeper appreciation. I didn't pay attention to see if there was an elevator, but we did take a lot of stairs to get from the restrooms on the bottom floor to part of the exhibits on the first floor, and the upper floor would be where the movie viewing gallery would be where you are immersed in a 360 circle with the art. I love that they used an existing downtown building and that you can park and walk to so many restaurants and museums in the downtown Cincinnati area. We chose the Fountain Square parking garage, went to eat at Nada and walked to the Monet exhibit. We noticed on the walk that we could've also went to the contemporary art museum, which is right downtown but we were out of time. It could be a good full day of lunch and art. The building is a little chilly, I would recommend having a coat. I think it's such an older large building. It's probably very expensive to heat. This was a great girls trip day event, and everyone enjoyed it from the 20-year-olds to my mother who is in her 60s.

The museum also once had a family heirloom on display. It had been maybe 20 years since I last visited, and I met my family at the museum last week to see the White Christmas exhibit. And what I found was a museum that has been renovated. It boasts the old street car and two-headed calf like before but now has more complete exhibit areas. I especially love the giant train set (was that there 20 years ago?) and special exhibit area. Excited to bring my kids to Behringer-Crawford so they can make their own memories.
