Thought provoking displays...especially unsettling for me was that on modern day slavery...inhumanity

Eye-opening museum and very community-oriented. On the day I visited, they had free symphony performances from students at their conservatory. Also, I happened to attend on a free admission day so that was a plus. Spent about 3 hours here to appreciate the stories and the building is gorgeous too.

History that everyone needs to know!

Very educational. You’d need to set aside a good 2-3 hours for this. I went last minute due and couldn’t get through half of the stuff. I’ll be going back in the near future.

No. It's a museum about the UR, you don't see actual places outside it.
They have always shown the feature for our classroom tours. Maybe they need a large group for the film. They may not show the film for small tour groups.
Not to sure try calling the freedom center
No! The Banks Garage is nearby and the 1st hour is $3, 2nd hour - $6, 3rd hour $8 Daily Max rate $10. This is according to their website.
They normally are open on holidays
You will have to call them
Stayed just across bridge in Covington. Great views of Cincinnati from there.
I'm not sure. There is the Rankin House to visit in Ripley. John Rankin was very helpful in helping the slaves as they crossed the Ohio River for freedom.
We walked in and paid at the door
No line at all when I went last week!
I agree with Nick. Google will give you alot of information.
Gift shop looks like it will be closing. Perhaps clearance items.
I would say 4 to 5 hours to really take it all in. There's really a lot to see and read about, not to mention the the short videos and mini movies. So perhaps, 5 to 6 hours should cover it.
Yes, it varies depending on where you park, but they all charge

If you don’t mind the walk, I actually parked in Newport and took the bridge over on foot. It was a great walk and I love to look at the river.
It was a experience I will never forget it's my second time Goin but this time June 19th was special I had to go. I love the vibe I get when I touches the marble roll wall. I felt crying,sadness pain hurt and more crying.
Nope! The old train station is still in Cincinnati. This is a museum for the underground Railroad to freedom per slavery journeys and all the wonderful allies. It is a museum for all cultures because it gives info on multiple current forms of injustice within our society worldwide. It has a pice of the Berlin wall!! Remember when that came down!! Amazing!! The Old Union Terminal is located at Cincinnati Museum Center, 1301 Western Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45203
No family memberships. Adults $12, Kids $8, Seniors $10
You don't need to, but it would save you time.
Many parking garages underneath the museum or short walking distance. Look on Google maps for public parking near there. Some parking apps (like SpotHero and Cincinnati's own parking app help you find spots that are open and the price. Some apps let you reserve a spot ahead of time.)
I would reach out to their contact on the website. They have a whole center within and an executive office that deals with those requests!
They don't provide wheelchairs but they are wheelchair friendly
I am not aware of those services. You will have to reach out to them.
It is handcapped accessible with giant elevators. The parking garages are a block away, but those not able to walk could easily be dropped off and wait for the group.
They do have a wheel chair accessible entrance. There are elevators for your convenience
Was there an actual railroad engine underground where? Since you mentioned the novel I'm going to guess that your question is asking if The National underground railroad used to escape slavery in North America, was a literal locamotive with a engine. If that's so then no it was a series of trails, houses and other locations that led to an assumed place of freedom for those that were enslaved to advance the economy. As mentioned by Colson Whitehead, he imagined it as a literal train as a child and wrote the novel from that. If not asking about the underground railroad for slaves to escape slavery. Then yes some rails do run underground with an engine running.
I will look and see
Separate admission cost for the museum but worth it.
The website indicates free general admission through Feb 28. They do charge for special exhibits, so you may still have to pay something for those.
$15 per person
We spent about 4.5 hours reading and watching the videos
Garage parking across the street! Must pay...based hourly I believe
Repeatedly through the day
I was there Saturday for the women's rally I had parked in the garage on 2nd Street between race and Rosa Park Avenue but it was a short walk and I paid $3 for an hour parking.
There's a lot of eating places right up the street
