Guided Voyager updates destination guidance regularly, but hours, weather, access, and reservations should be checked close to departure.

Before you go

Do not put the zoo, Museum Center, OTR, and Covington into one casual day. Pick a zone and let dinner stay nearby.
Use a good forecast for the riverfront, bridge, or park time, then keep Museum Center, the Art Museum, or Newport Aquarium as the weather swap.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal information.
