Visit our kid-sized Pet Hospital

Visit our kid-sized Pet Hospital in the Duke Energy Children's Museum and practice checking vital signs of stuffed animal pets, use veterinary tools to perform a wellness check, and view x-rays.

During our Pet Academy* program, bring your young animal lovers to meet Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians as they share tips on how to keep pets healthy and happy. You'll also receive a stethoscope (while supplies last) to try on your home pets, and get a chance to meet local therapy dogs from Therapy Pets of Greater Cincinnati to learn about the great work they do in our community!

*Aspects of this program are subject to change.

Pet Academy programs are free for CMC Members or included with Museum Admission.
