Cincy Nature Center


15 Months, Week 3

I knew we were fairly close to the Cincinnati Nature Center here in Milford and our sitter gave us a visitor’s pass [free admission] which was very sweet of her. 

We decided to go Saturday before lunch, though it was still very chilly outside. We hit the visitor center first which had a few “children’s” displays for Nora to look at. So, so old. But darn it if Nora didn’t love that stuffed fox and kept coming back to say Hi to it; “Aye yai yai!” [that’s the sound we think a fox makes in our house]

We made a bit of a scene when we tried to have Nora color at the children’s table but she wanted to take the entire basket of crayons with her. Again, still too young for crayons. Thankfully there was enough schwag in the giftstore for me to distract her with. 

We found the outdoor Playscape which is so amazingly cool - a playground made of all natural pieces; logs, stone, etc. She loves being outside and walking outdoors. 

We definitely plan on becoming members; the membership pays for itself within three visits. Additionally, they have a preschool there whose curriculum is based around nature. Wow, I’m nearly sold - and members get first go at enrollment. Definitely curious about putting Nora in there!
