Whether it’s spring break, a long weekend, summer, or just an afternoon away from school, there are plenty of things for kids to see and do around West Chester, Ohio. Not only will the kids have a good time at some of these attractions, but parents can find entertainment and time to bond with the family as well. Here are just a few of the kid-friendly attractions the area has to offer.

The Studio

The Studio is a place where creativity comes alive in a paint-your-own pottery shop. Choose your own pottery and enjoy using the paint supplies that are included with the purchase of the piece you want to paint. Parents enjoy using stencils and having different paints for effect while kids have fun creating something unique all on their own. There are enough pottery options that everyone can find something to fit the day’s budget for entertainment. The hardest part is leaving the creations behind so they can be fired and picked up at a later date when they are complete. The Studio is located at 118 Main Street in Hamilton, Ohio.

EnterTRAINment Junction

EnterTRAINment Junction is more than just a clever name. Located at 7378 Squire Ct. in West Chester, Ohio, this attraction is pure fun for kids and adults. There are 2 miles of model railroad that run model trains and can cause time to fly by faster than you’d think. The model trains also run through the history of trains in America. There’s even an indoor play area with a small train ride and a climbing space just for toddlers. The A-Maze-N Funhouse attraction is attached for two times the fun. For just the EnterTRAINment Junction, adults cost $14.95, children ages 3-12 are $11.95 and those 2 and under are free. There are also group rates and party options for those who want to take more than just the family along.
