Why Go

The rotunda, one of the largest half-domes in the world, is free to walk into; its murals by Winold Reiss show Cincinnati's history and industry. Inside are museums of natural history and science, with a walk-through limestone cave, of the city's history, and for children, plus a giant-dome theater. Amtrak trains still stop here.
