If it is electric it lights up, it is an instrument it plays, if it is a diamond it is a diamond....well you get the point that it is a big deal to be a small deal. They have the historical info about the town and details on interesting local lore. Come and see what you can learn as I have no spoiler alerts. If you know history your knowlegeably ahead of the game and still much more to learn all the time. Discount is only for students, none for seniors or military. Current cost is $10 per person. They do also have a Pouge experience next door and you can sample the DSP 3 rye and bourbon for an extra $5. This not the distillery site. A must do on a hot day or cold day. Find out why hush puppies are called that name. Time to learn and appreciate craftsmanship.

You have to visit this place…read more A week ago a group of us drove up to Maysville to visit the museum specifically to see the miniatures collection. We were overwhelmed with the quality and size of the museums displays. It's like you were giants in a Twilight Zone movie looking into real tiny houses that's how lifelike they were. The Spencer's House was fantastic. They have a movie playing about the creation of it. There are several rooms full of all sorts of displays. More will be added in the spring of 2024. This is a must see collection. We were also impressed with the other displays in the museum. These were focused on the major historic milestones of Maysville. Also displays of major products produced in that region. I would say we never expected this level of quality and size in a small town museum.

We walked around the house that was once used as a safe house for the underground railroad. So much history the house had. The house was turned into a musuem that included artifacts and exhibits. From upstairs you can see the ohio river where people would cross. even though the tour was just the house, the tour guide gave us pointers on where to go next. If you have time and are in the area continue by going to the rankin house which was also a safe house, you can take a tour their as well. Make sure you do the stairway to freedom!

From what we were told, all of the grape growing, wine making and aging is happening elsewhere. It's a really cool historic site and it's really worth visiting. The wines are about what you'd expect from Midwest wine. They tend to the very sweet end. Get here for a visit - the structure itself is worth seeing. As a bonus, I found their bourbon surprisingly good.

We felt like this attraction though is such a money grab especially for it being in the middle of nowhere. Many things are extra. And I didn't care for the amount of things that were about the man who built the Ark. I feel biblically - it shouldn't be about him. Many of his items were for sale in the gift shop, many movies were pertaining to him and lots of exhibits were about him and his opinion. I felt like there was almost less to do inside the Ark than my first visit but maybe I'm wrong. Buffet was good value for what you get. I'd recommend going a little before lunch. We didn't wait at all. The zoo was cute, you can pet a kangaroo- but was a bummer it's only on the path. So if a kangaroo doesn't cross the path you can't pet it. Zoo keeper was pretty abrupt about that. Eagle and barn animals were cool! Camel encounter costs extra. As well as gem mining and the Virtual Reality is extra too. Playground area was a hit for our kids. (This is free and included) We spent less than four hours here and we felt we did everything we could that was included in our ticket. We skipped the gift shops as it was very overpriced.

Fairytale-like house [Cincinnati OH]…read more We couldn't just drive-by this whimsical house without stopping and doing a double take... and staring. This is the Mushroom House in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati. The amount of detail is really breathtaking: circular steel steps, deck rails of wood shingles, stained glass windows, tiled ceilings... of course, I had to snap some pics. How often do we come to Cin City. The original owner/builder by the name of Terry Brown has passed away in 2008. The house is currently not on the market and occupied as a private residence as of 2021. Here are the deets in Zillow: 1 beds, 1 baths, 1,260 sq-ft.

That being said Harrison (with the good hair!) was 10 out of 10 the best. Truly hands down the best tour we have done. SO much fun. Harrison had the perfect blend of history, humor and story telling that made the time fly and the experience fun for all. My only regret is that the kids and grandkids were not on this trip because I think they would have loved it as well. This is a tour for everyone. We loved learning about the city and enjoyed Cincinnati much more than we anticipated and can't wait to come back and do another tour...hopefully with Harrison! We are proud supporters of public education and hopefully did our part to show that while visiting! If you know...you know! Run don't walk to this tour. You won't be dissappointed!

Who knew it was (the first!) site of vertebrate paleontology in the US? Interestingly, there is also a short hike through a wooded area (5-10 min) that takes you to a mini-zoo-like viewing area for a herd of Bison kept there. They were pretty lethargic on this hot summer day but cute nonetheless. It's at least worth one short visit here -- a worthy investment of ~35 mins from downtown Cincinnati, anyway.

Wow! What a cool space! I love the art deco style, so walking into this incredible museum complex…read morejust gave me an almost overwhelming sense of joy. It was so beautifully built and so meticulously cared for and restored. I love that they carried the deco details throughout the entire space, including the restaurant areas. When you enter, there is a large ticketing area. They can help you with access to the main museums and for tickets to the movie theater. The staff is extremely helpful in guiding you to the right person and the individuals behind the counter are very helpful as well. I was using a reciprocal membership and once they verified Pittsburgh was far enough away (it very much is as Cincinnati is almost five hours from Pittsburgh) it was easy for them to issue us the tickets. We came specifically for the Auschwitz exhibit which was located on a lower floor. Signage was clear and there were ample staff to help guide to the appropriate location. In addition to the four museums covered by the one museum fee, this building also houses a gift shop, cafe area and the Holocaust Center (whose entrance is at the back of the space and a different ticketing system). There is a LARGE parking area in the front of the complex. It is an uncovered surface lot and on a busy day could be quite a walk to the entrance. You can, however, pull up right in front if someone from your party needs to be dropped off. I really enjoyed my time here, and will definitely be back to spend additional time in the various museums (as we were rushed because we spent so much time in the Auschwitz exhibit). If you are in the Cincinnati area, definitely make sure you visit.
