About this adventure
Cincinnati Museum Center marks the start of its holiday visits with Santa by welcoming him to Union Terminal on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The page says he arrives by firetruck at noon. After that arrival, visitors can see him by the fireplace in the Ruthven Gallery as part of the museum's holiday season. The listing sits on the Holiday Junction page, which also describes the broader holiday experience in the terminal, including the OMNIMAX film Rocky Mountain Express. Entry is free for members or included with museum admission; the page does not print a separate photo-package price or a reservation step for this arrival. It does not give an age minimum. Deaf Day with Santa, on December 6, is a different visit and is already listed. A Wednesday visit with Black Santa is recorded separately from this noon arrival.
