Merry Christmas everyone! I thought it appropriate to write about the holiday exhibit at my home museum since Christmas is at the end of this week! Located in the lower level South Gallery of the Cincinnati History Museum Holiday Junction is celebrating its seventeenth year as a family destination where holiday memories are created.

Thomas the Tank Engine

Thomas coming around the bend

This is my second Christmas season as the Manager of Special Exhibits at Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal and this year we added a few things to enhance the exhibit this year. Of course we have plenty of model train layouts to watch as they whiz around snowy hills and cityscapes, but added to our trains this year is Harry Potter’s Hogwart’s Express, and not only is there one Thomas the Tank Engine, but there are TWO!

Again, the kids can ride the children’s train around a wintry scene, play Reindeer Games, and visit with Santa Claus so don’t forget to bring your holiday wish lists! Have last minute shopping to do? Have no fear! During the holiday season Cincinnati Museum Center has not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR stores loaded with last minute gifts with one located conveniently inside Holiday Junction!

There is plenty of holiday cheer to go around so if you’re not yet in the holiday spirit, come see Holiday Junction. You’ll be singing Christmas carols in no time.

IMHO (In my humble opinion)

It’s a great exhibit to bring the family and have a good time. There is something for everyone, and Holiday Junction serves as the proverbial cherry on top of any all museums visit to Cincinnati Museum Center.
