My Education Junction

It is hard to believe it is already March. In a few short months summer break will be upon us. Because I live in Ohio my posts will focus on Ohio. I am happy to hear from anybody outside of the state who has some great destinations they would like to share.

Below is a list of museums with programs geared towards children. If you are interested in taking your children to more than one of the locations listed below, it is highly recommend that you consider purchasing a family pass from the museum closest to you. Currently, all of the museums listed below participate in a reciprocal program. This means if you hold a pass to one you can receive a discount entrance to the others, or in some cases you might even be able to visit for free. Often reciprocal benefits extend to area zoos making the savings significant.

In upcoming posts I will also list zoos, metro park programs and area attractions. Note- If you are interested in visiting the Cincinnati Museum Center and you don’t live in the area, consider making it a weekend long trip. The museum has more than a days worth of attractions and it is not to far from another great attraction, the Newport Aquarium.
