On Friday we went to the Museum of Natural History. It is located in the Cincinnati Union Terminal along with a children's museum and Cincinnati history museum. The architecture was amazing. I loved it!
 |
| Woolly Mammoth! Raptor loved that it was the first thing you saw once you went into the museum. |
 |
| Bat presentation. The kids loved it but I think they are creepy. The lady had to wake them up and then make sure they were awake enough to hold onto the mesh. |
Climbing through a tiny tunnel into a recreation of Mammoth Caves in Kentucky (we went there a few years ago and loved it)
 |
| Love the baby Ankylosaurus! |
 |
| Armored fish |
 |
| Ammonite shell. These were Ramble's favorites. |
 |
| Touching a yellow spotted salamander. It was poisonous and it liked to stay wet so the kids had to pet it after they had their hands sprayed with water (verbatim from Raptor). |
Taking a break in the ice cream shop and checking out their treasures from the trade store. The kids did a scavenger hunt for points then could trade them in for treasures. Love when you get free souvenirs!
 |
| Fossils, cool rocks, a walnut, and a magnifying glass were their treasures. |
Just loved the inside of the terminals!
I wish I had taken more pictures. We loved this museum. The kids read almost everything there was and it took us a few hours to get through. It reminded me in a small way of the Museum of Natural History in NYC but on a much smaller scale.
