One zone consists of two small adorable playhouses meant for young crawlers and toddlers. Right next to that is a musical instrument section, balance walk, and a huge colorful maze with textured walls. Towards the back is a play area with a turf hill and 14-foot mega tower with plenty of opportunities to slide and climb. There are tube, flat bed, and curved slides. The tower can appear intimidating but my 3.5 and 5 year old girls fearlessly climbed the ladder to access the tower and came down the tube slides without issue. Surrounding the tower are several climbing structures. One consists of faux tree logs and another resembles the back of a bear. Another major feature is the zip line. My 5 year old was super excited and went on it several times.

Lots of kids having a fun time. Various kids types of playground equipment for all ages.read more

I don't think it would be very fair of me to give nova a completely terrible rating. Because I…read moreunderstand the overhead costs that are associated with owning an operating and establishment such as nova. However, I do want to at least provide the following feedback and preface it with saying this. Birthday parties are supposed to warrant warm memories for people. A person wants to look back on their birthday party in a way that is fond. Especially when that birthday party is within the first 10 years of your life. This could definitely be possible at a place like nova if they adjusted the birthday party times. We paid over $600 for a birthday party. For that money we had only 1 hour and 40 mins. The 1 hour is dedicated to the kids playing and the 40 mins is sometime supposed to cover the pizza, presents, cake, and ice cream. Everything is so rushed. It's just not a good feeling please extend bday times to 2 hours and 10 mins. 5 mins in the beginning and 5 mins after to allow people to get settled in

The museum itself is incredibly hands-on and interactive. My kids could have stayed all day. The water play area was a huge hit (bring a change of clothes or use the smocks they provide), and the construction zone with life-size building blocks kept them busy for ages. I loved that it's set up in a way where kids can explore independently but parents can still keep an eye on them easily. The staff was friendly and kept things clean, which I appreciated since little ones are touching everything. The whole museum is very family-friendly, with spaces for toddlers as well as older kids, so no one feels left out. Another bonus: since it's inside the larger Museum Center, you can easily combine your visit with the Natural History Museum or an IMAX show. Parking was simple, and there are food options inside, though we chose to pack snacks. Overall, it's the perfect place for kids to play, learn, and burn off energy--rainy day or not. Highly recommend for families in Cincinnati or anyone visiting the city!

Chaos. Way busier…read morethan I expected on a Monday morning. Just packed. People standing around blocking aisles, kids running around unsupervised. The staff were great, trying to keep things moving, helping kids and parents. Lots of places for tired adults to sit. Hard for K to play at exhibits; too many kids, and too many monopolizing activities and not sharing. Bad parenting isn't the museum's fault, of course, but it's pretty small, and things are crammed in there, with just not enough places to actually get involved. Could be better designed. And it seems to be aimed at younger kids (kindergarten and before.) We moved to The Woods, essentially an indoor playground. Horrible. Dark, cramped, convoluted. And the kids can just disappear. Lost Kid K for 10 minutes. Into a tunnel, a glimpse overhead on the bridge, then gone. Hard for adults to get up, or in, many areas. Zero visibility. I saw a bigger kid get stuck and yell for help till a random parent got them loose. Kids under 8 are supposed to be supervised but aren't; there should also be an upper age limit so preteens aren't mixing with toddlers. I'd recommend they add more lighting, more stairways, more portholes into the cave. I searched fruitlessly, with a random mom helping, and K found a staffer who got her to me. K said we're never going to the children's museum again. The other museums in the complex are plenty kid-friendly, and more open and involving.

My best friend and her toddler were in town recently, visiting from Boston. We needed an easy…read moreplace to meet where her son could run around and get some energy out. We chose Bicentennial Park because of the proximity to their Airbnb. It turned out to be a great choice as the playground was really cute and in great shape, and the whole play area is fenced in. The parking lot and playground were both clean and we felt good about having our kids there. I highly recommend the spot if you are looking for a place to let kids get some energy out. Some of the playground equipment was unusually tall for a playground, so keep that in mind and know that you might need to run around after your kids should you decide to visit.

We had a particularly memorable experience yesterday walking down by the creek and saying hello to some geese and a duck tagging along. The path is really long and I've hardly had a chance to really explore it with my son: soon! For those who aren't a fan of a long walk, the playground is definitely one of the nicer new ones in town. Haven't tried the sprayground/splashground/w/e, but kids always look like they're having an awesome time over there! I feel a little odd making it a destination; the people of the community love this spot and there's no secret why. All are welcome for sure: just saying that I am glad to see that this gift was made to this community as well. After too many trips to the taco truck up the road, I just had to try it out with my son.
