It’s “Stygimoloch” because “demon from the river Styx” was a few characters too long for the birth certificate.

This dome-headed dinosaur is just one of 50 massive LEGO® builds in our featured exhibition. From props to giant dinosaurs to scenes from the iconic film franchise, LEGO® Jurassic World: The Exhibition is just waiting on you to fill its roles.

We want to see what your beautiful brain can create! Save time and money and get your tickets in advance by visiting https://bit.ly/4dFZORg.

Union Terminal has an endless supply of details with cool stories behind them, and today, we’re taking a Museum Minute to talk about our gigantic friends who frame its façade; the bas reliefs!

Tried to catch them off-GARd but they're rather eagle-eyed for garfish... Kind of makes me feel like they were talking about me just before this. 😒

“iT’s NoT evEn hALloWeEn yET!!!!” Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we’re giving you a heads up because Holiday Junction opens in just about one month, on Friday, November 13!

& this year is a big one! We’ll be celebrating the 80th year of the Duke Energy Holiday Trains through displays that feature over 300 rail cars and 50 locomotives, alongside fresh interactives to get your brain and body moving and grooving with winter whimsy.

Santa will make his grand entrance on Black Friday, November 27, and will be with us every day leading up to his big night on December 24 (on which we will be closing early, at 2 p.m., so our staff have time to bake his cookies and spend time with their people).

Holiday Junction is included with Membership and Museum Admission so grab your best pals, your family or a holidate, and jump into the festive spirit with us.

Update (10/9): Tickets for this session have sold out!

I don’t know if we’ve ever been quite this happy about an insect takeover. 🐛🐜🐝

Join us for a bugnificent night, on Friday, October 30, where we’ll be pinning specimens (that you can take home!) and learning all kinds of insect fun facts from one of Cincinnati’s resident entomologists!

Visit https://bit.ly/4dkZaJU to reserve your spot before registration closes on October 27. All materials and supplies are included in your ticket.

Not many fountain days left due to the cooler temps on the way so we’re soaking it up as much as possible.

If it’s “hands-on”, consider us all in!

We know it can be tough to find something for the whole family to do together, but with a build station in every room, LEGO® Jurassic World: The Exhibition has plenty of space for everyone to get involved.

Build your own hybrid dinosaur, contribute to the community mosaic, construct a LEGO car and hope it makes its way down the ramp, and build upon the park’s terrain all while you’re surrounded by the sights and sounds from the film franchise.

The iconic park gates await your arrival. Visit https://bit.ly/4dFZORg to save some time by reserving your tickets in advance.

Ever wish you could throw hands at work? Well, we did.

It’s time for REXlemania so take a Museum Minute to relax and watch a duel that’ll go down in prehistory.

No blow-up dinosaur costumes or humans were harmed during the making of this ridiculous video. 😊
