Please advise on the places to visit in and around Cincinnati during last week of December.

We are a family of four, including 2 kids aged 10 and 8 years.

Newport (KY) Aquarium, Cincinnati Zoo, Findlay Market and (if you’re willing to drive) the National Air Force Museum in Dayton are a good start. Cincy’s Art Museum, History Museum & Underground Railroad Museum are all good too depending on your taste.

I am thinking of the following attractions in Cincinnati and Columbus during a 2 day visit over the last of December from Cleveland

Please advise which of the following 2 to 3 attractions in Cincinnati that I should not miss. I am biased towards a warmer indoor attraction as well as cost effective event.

Cincinnati Zoo + Lights (about $78 for a family of 4). I believe it is an outdoor event.
Cincinnati Art Museum. I believe it is free of cost. I believe it is an indoor event.
Cincinnati Museum Center (about $56 for a family of 4). I believe it is an indoor event.
Krohn Conservatory (about $34 for a family of 4). I believe it is an indoor event.
Fountain Square. I believe it is free of cost. I believe it is an indoor event.

Please advise which of the following 2 to 3 attractions in Columbus that I should not miss. I am biased towards a warmer indoor attraction as well as cost effective event.

Columbus Zoo for its Wildlights event (about $112 for a family of 4). I believe it is an outdoor event.
COSI (Center of Science and Industry): (about $84 for a family of 4). I believe it is an indoor event.
Columbus Frankliin Observatory ( about $77 for a family of 4). I believe it is an indoor event.
Easton Town Center: I believe it is free of cost. I believe it is an outdoor event.
Otherworld: Immersive Art Experience (about $108 for a family of 4). I believe it is indoor event.


Which one is preferable - Columbus Zoo with Lights or Cincinnati Zoo with Lights?

Is the Cincinnati Krohn conservatory and Columbus Franklin observatory similar... If so, which one is preferable..

I’d say COSI and the Art Museum, plus one of the two zoos (Columbus’ is superior in general but not sure which had the better light show). The rest is up to your interests.

Easton is primarily a shopping experience….well done, but I’d definitely skip this one with two younger kids. Same with the Cincinnati Art Museum and Krohn. On the other hand, with kids 10 and 8, I’d make sure to visit COSI. I’m partial to the Cincinnati Zoo, but Columbus’ Zoo is great too. Given Cincinnati’s is less expensive, I’d go there.

Thanks for the suggestions. We ended up going to Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Zoo and Columbus COSI.

We had good time visiting these attractions.
