Spent all day there. Such a historical vault. I was overwhelmed at times trying to imagine the struggles of peoples. From historical slavery to modern day there’s 3 floors of knowledge everyone should take time to experience.

Very modern and well laid out. Self guided, at your own pace. Lots of displays, some are 'hands on'. They have a full size cabin inside and many historical items to view. Great for any age. Plan on at least 1 to 2 hours, at least.

We stayed there for over three hours. Highly recommended! Not only was this Museum about slavery but it also included other suppressed groups-- American Indians and women.

There's a lot to learn at this beautiful new museum. We took a 10 year old and had him read some of the texts aloud to make sure he stayed focused. He knew what the UR was from school, which helped. You couldn't really leave a child much younger than 12 or 13 alone. There is a lot of reading, but also it requires some maturity to process what you're seeing. We couldn't see everything in one day, and we even went to lunch and came back for more! Definitely a museum that merits several visits as young people grow and can take in more about the politics of slavery, court decisions that brought on the Civil War, modern day slavery, etc. The staff do a good job of talking about what's there. More would probably be better. We saw some kids on a school trip with a guide. I suspect that's the ideal way to visit. Excellent videos that show the personal risks the heroes of the Underground Railroad took, be they white or black. All around, this is learning center about American history that everyone ought to visit. Cincinnati is lucky to have it.

Fantastic museum, housed in a gorgeous building! Visited with two families with kids ranging from 6 to 16 and highly recommend it!

The displays were well thought out, designed to handle traffic and deeply impacting.

The museum is appropriate (although a little information-dense) for all school-aged kids.

Younger kids need a lot of adult support to process the displays (and should definitely skip the wing dealing with trafficking) but the audio-visuals and narrated videos were perfect for them.
