that did the museum but I could not bring myself to go. I have read several articles and I would not spend my hard earned money to go there. The museum gets a lot of traffic, especially in the summer, from people who do not believe in science and getting free tickets might be a stretch!

There is a lot to do in and around the area. Up at Wright-Patterson AFB, near Dayton, OH and only about 1 hour away from Cincinnati, they have an excellent museum and it is almost as good as the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and it is free. In Lexington, KY they have the Kentucky Horse Park (highly recommended). If your going near Cleveland, OH the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is superb. When we went there a couple of years ago I thought it was going to be hokey but I was totally wrong. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is worth the trip even if it is out of your way.

Yes. Treat it as a comedy zone. Laugh at everything and when you're asked why you're laughing just Lint Head Mar 2013 #5

That could be fun as well - an opportunity to challenge them using "humor". cbayer Mar 2013 #6

by all means, visit (if you're taking dynamite)! lastlib Mar 2013 #7

Er, no. Not my style. cbayer Mar 2013 #8

I think you ought to make it a stop. A piece of Americana, like Area 51. pinto Mar 2013 #9

That's in line with my thinking. cbayer Mar 2013 #10

Except that nothing in Area 51, which is NOT open to visitors, nonoyes Mar 2013 #14

By stopping and giving them admission money, you are encouraging this stupidity. shraby Mar 2013 #11

And therein lies my dilemma. Is it worth the entertainment value or not? cbayer Mar 2013 #12

You don't mention dates. okasha Mar 2013 #20

May I suggest... rexcat Mar 2013 #36

That looks like it could be fun and could definitely be fit on the itinerary. cbayer Mar 2013 #43

There were a group of atheists... rexcat Mar 2013 #84

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look more closely at them. cbayer Mar 2013 #87

Lol, only if I considered what they are selling science (which I don't). cbayer Mar 2013 #19

Well, they consider it science which is the point isn't it. moobu2 Mar 2013 #22

Yes, that's why I would find it entertaining. cbayer Mar 2013 #23

If they throw you out, you get your money back. longship Mar 2013 #33

You know me. I wouldn't be mocking, just mirthful. cbayer Mar 2013 #34

You're a freelance journalist doing a cross-country travel piece on "uniquely American sights". pinto Mar 2013 #47

I thought of just sending them an email saying we were desperate to see the place, cbayer Mar 2013 #48

Someone said fathers get in free on Father's day. Kalidurga Mar 2013 #59

Unfortunately, we will not be there on father's day, but I love your idea. cbayer Mar 2013 #64

Yep that would get attention all right... Kalidurga Mar 2013 #66

Actually, I think not getting attention might be the order of the day, lol. cbayer Mar 2013 #67

Yeah I dunno Kalidurga Mar 2013 #68

To fully enjoy it, I think the best plan might be to pretend to be one of them cbayer Mar 2013 #69

Oh and upload it here of course nt. Kalidurga Mar 2013 #95

LOL. When I moved here I promised friends I wouldn't step foot in Disneyland. pinto Mar 2013 #38

Morbid curiosity. jeepnstein Mar 2013 #61

GO GO GO GO!!! JoePhilly Mar 2013 #51

Lol, we would definitely go prepared with questions. cbayer Mar 2013 #52

Go to a local evangelical church and tell them you want to go learn JoePhilly Mar 2013 #54

I was considering contacting them directly with that exact story. cbayer Mar 2013 #56

Sounds like you've been praying a lot about this. nt. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #57

Nah, just talking to y'all. cbayer Mar 2013 #65

I would not go because you have to give them money and that would only encourage them. hrmjustin Mar 2013 #53

I'm trying to find a way around that. I'm thinking that there may be coupons cbayer Mar 2013 #55

I might not be able to keep a straight face so I would not want to offend these people. hrmjustin Mar 2013 #58

these people are the craziest of the crazies. Dont go anywhere near them bowens43 Mar 2013 #60

Well, it's not contagious I am pretty sure. cbayer Mar 2013 #63

Paying admission to this travesty Brainstormy Mar 2013 #77

I recognize that and am working on a way to not pay. We shall see. cbayer Mar 2013 #79

You should go but only on the condition that you report back to the rest of us tularetom Mar 2013 #78
