Louisville is about 2.5 hours from Dayton’s center, so it can easily be a day or weekend trip -- depending on how much time and money you want to spend.
Tickets are $26 for children (ages 4-11) military, and seniors (ages 65+) and are $27.50 for adults (ages 12+). But here's the good news: for a limited time, there's a Groupon deal that offers a 30% discount on tickets -- so you can snag adult or child tickets for $19 each. (Make sure you read the fine print, though -- tickets have to be used by a certain date.)
Here’s a description from the museum’s website:
The Hunger Games: The Exhibition invites visitors to step inside and explore the world of Panem as created in the films. More than one thousand authentic costumes and props, high-tech and hands-on interactives, and detailed set recreations reveal the amazing artistry and technology that brought the incredible story to life.
Visitors follow Katniss Everdeen's inspirational journey, from her humble beginnings in District 12 to her emergence as the Mockingjay. The exhibition features seven galleries including District 12, Tribute Train, The Capitol, Making the Games, District 13, Fan Gallery and Katniss's Journey.
Highlights include iconic costumes from the films, such as the Girl on Fire dress, the Mockingjay dress and the Mockingjay armor; key artifacts including the Mockingjay pin, Cinna's sketchbook and Katniss's bow; and interactives, including an exploratory map of Panem, a gamemaker's control table, and a stunt choreography interactive.
