Cincinnati Museum Center turns on fountain and kicks off a summer overflowing with great programming

CINCINNATI – You know it’s almost summer in Cincinnati when you see Cincinnati Museum Center’s Union Terminal fountain on in all its glory! This morning, Museum Center turned on the fountain with the help of our community. Guests were invited to join and help countdown as the fountain was brought to life for the summer of 2012. The celebration was a kick-off for a summer overflowing with fun and educational programming for the whole family. Join us this summer for 100 Days of Fun, a special membership offer and Free Fridays!

100 DAYS OF FUN
Is it too hot out? Raining again? Sounds like a perfect day to head to the museum. We’ve listed something for you to do every day for 100 days from May 28 through September 4. It’s 100 Days of Fun! There’s so much to do at Museum Center, it might just take you the whole summer to see it all! Each time you come back, we’re sure you’ll find something new and exciting. You can meet our real mummy and learn about solar and wind power in the Museum of Natural History & Science. Don’t forget about BugFest on June 2! Hop aboard a 19th century steamboat and step back in time to the 1940s with the Cincinnati History Museum. Burn off some energy by climbing through the tree tops in our multi-story woods in Duke Energy Children’s Museum. And these are just to name a few!

100 Days of Fun is presented thanks to the generosity of Procter & Gamble.
