## About

Located in the heart of scenic Eden Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum welcomes families all Thanksgiving weekend with free general admission and engaging hands-on programming. At the center of family visits is the interactive Rosenthal Education Center (REC), an innovative, permanent makerspace where children and parents can experiment with drawing materials, printmaking, architectural building blocks, and texture collages inspired by museum masterpieces. Museum educators provide themed Thanksgiving family gallery scavenger hunts that guide children through ancient Egyptian antiquities, Renaissance paintings, and modern decorative arts. The museum offers an inspiring, climate-controlled holiday weekend retreat that fosters creative expression across generations.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: All museum galleries, elevators, dining terraces, and the Rosenthal Education Center are completely ADA accessible with wide polished corridors and free loaner strollers at check-in.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Dedicated family restrooms with diaper changing stations are located on the first floor near the REC, and quiet cushioned seating is positioned throughout the courtyard and grand lobby.
• Age Suitability: All ages. The REC features specialized soft-play tactile stations for toddlers alongside advanced design tables for school-aged kids and teens.
• Sensory Tips: Museum galleries provide a serene, hushed environment with gentle lighting. The REC is a lively creative space, but families can step out into peaceful adjacent sculpture galleries at any time.
