As Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market, it boasts over 50 stalls that showcase the region's culinary heritage.
A historic market that has transformed from a weekend farmer’s gathering into a lively indoor marketplace. Lots of variety, from fresh produce to unique shops — even found a handmade wonton spot. Worth a visit if you’re in Cincinnati.
Jacques L — Google review
This place has meats, desserts, produce and even live plants. I recommend going early to avoid the crowd. It seemed to have a very nice traffic flow. It is indoor and outdoor. I hear the bars are very nice as well.
Elijah L — Google review
Findlay Market is truly one of the must-see places in Cincinnati. It perfectly captures the city’s history, culture, and community spirit all in one spot. The moment you walk in, you can feel the charm of the past blending with the energy of today — the old brick buildings, colorful vendor stands, fresh food aromas, and friendly local buzz create an amazing atmosphere. This isn’t just a market — it’s an experience. You’ll find everything from fresh produce, meats, cheeses, spices, and baked goods to flowers, coffee, and handmade crafts. The outdoor stalls and street musicians make it even more lively, especially on weekends when the place comes to life with music, food, and smiling faces. What I love most is that it supports local farmers and small businesses. Every vendor here seems genuinely passionate about what they do, and the quality of products really stands out. Prices are fair, and everything feels authentic and full of character. There are also plenty of cozy cafés and restaurants nearby, making it easy to relax with a coffee after exploring. Parking can get a bit crowded at peak times, but arriving early makes everything smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, Findlay Market is a beautiful mix of history, local flavor, and community warmth. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Cincinnati, this place is absolutely worth the stop! 🌿🧺

Bryanna M — Google review
Favorite thing to do in downtown cincinnati. I love how there’s fresh produce and meat. Make sure you park close or in Findlay market parking. OTR is not the safest area. We loved our sandwiches for lunch. Water is only free at the bar, everywhere else is 50 cents. I love all the stores, including a vintage clothing store. Such a fun place in Cincy

Eden Park, located in the historic Mt. Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, is a sprawling 186-acre public park offering a variety of attractions for visitors. The park features gardens, walking paths, and scenic views of the Ohio River and northern Kentucky. It is home to the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Krohn Conservatory, which houses several large greenhouses showcasing over 3,500 plant species.
A beautiful place to visit. So much wonderful foliage in pretty displays and it is affordable as well. (Adult price $10) They have a butterfly house you can enter, too. Some advice if you decide to visit the butterflies - wear pink or red, it attracts them. You are not given any nectar to attract them to you, so I would suggest wearing some kind of citrus or lavender scent for an added experience. Have fun!

Eden Park is one of most popular and well known parks in Cincinnati. The amazing views are just one of many attractions.

Everything is perfectly maintained, the grounds are immaculate and there is plenty to do There are nature paths, stunning views and lots of historical art pieces. The playgrounds are also art pieces that you can play on. If you are in town give yourself a few hours to see everything.

Nice park. Picnic tables and shelters available. We had kids in the car that needed to burn off some energy and it's right off I-75. Playground equipment has zip line, climbing tower, swings, slides. Some kids were a bit over bearing and inconsiderate, foul language, pouring water down the slides. Clean bathrooms, so it's a good stop for breaking up a long drive.

Situated near the Ohio River, this center highlights the journeys of freedom seekers who traversed these waters with the help of compassionate abolitionists during and before the Civil War. Visitors can explore an authentic early 1800s slave-holding pen from Kentucky, which serves as a poignant reminder of our past.
Absolutely moving museum. It was so detailed and so worth taking your time. It is so important to see a part of history right in front of you. The staff was wonderful, as well. If you have a few hours to spare in the area, please stop by.

I was exploring the museum on my own (and kind of in a rush cause I got here about 50 minutes before closing). I met this wonderful woman Lori Jo, who gave me a quick 25 tour of what we cover together! Absolutely wonderful woman with so much passion about the Underground Railroad Freedom History! I wish I had more time to walk through the entire center with her!

Girl at the front desk with shoulder length braids had the worst attitude. What kind of place like this doesnt accept cash? Probably should mention that. And to thw guy that yelled at my kid for pressing the button on the revolving door to go out on the 3rd floor balcony....maybe dont yell at a kid for something they didnt know... or at least learn how to talk to people in a more kid-friendly or personable tone. Exhibit itself was nice though. Kids enjoyed the videos/theater portion. Nice mixture of art/history/exhibits/etc. Great for kids to learn and observe

Wow! Very strong powerful message about slavery and freedom. There are many applications to our society today. They're are 8 movies to see. All our well-done. Most of the staff is very kind. Just a couple grumpy guards. Overall a very positive experience. Just need to be in the right mind-set to absorb all the NURFC has to offer. DO NOT MISS THE GIFT SHOP! This a great place to find really unique gifts.

Wow this experience was awesome. I got to learn about the history of Kentucky and Cincinnati when it came to slavery. The displays would make some people a little uncomfortable but learning the history and seeing anonymous donations to the museum was an experience. We toured every floor, sat through some short films, toured every area we could. It was worth every dollar for the entrance fee. I got to sit in the pray house and listened to a hymn. Amazing experience. I would definitely visit this again.

This was a beautiful place to watch the Newport fireworks. We didn't have to fight a crowd and it was so relaxing. My 6yo chased fireflies while we waited and I wasn't concerned about dangers at all. They've really cleaned up Lot E since I was here last and it's not creepy now. You can swing and look at the river, walk the path, play at the playground, and just enjoy the flowers and the river. It's gorgeous!

This isn't my first time to the park but it was one of the best times. I love the Great American ballpark. I've been going to Cincinnati reds games since it was at Riverfront stadium. The people are super friendly and the seats are always great and the food is fabulous. I love my Cincinnati reds.

The banks is a beautiful, Smale Park, Yeatmans cove, Sawyer point all beautiful parks. They are always kept very nice and clean.... Well until people come down from the suburbs and trash the place. Ripping their motorcycles in and out of the tunnels and bridges scaring children and pets as you're walking not to mention the fact it hurts our ears and disturbs our peace. We don't run through your neighborhoods, trashing your front lawns in cracking our engines just so your children or your pet can climb your neck out of fear. Be respectful, pick up after yourself, and please remember people reside here too. The way this place looks after a Friday or Saturday night you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Built in 2003 to replace Cinergy Field, it boasts unique architectural features like the Power Stacks and baseball-themed mosaics.
I went here for the first time last week and it is an impressive ballpark. There are 2 scoreboards that show different information. There are a wide variety of food and drink selections. Tons of fan interactions and dun animations on the scoreboards. We also got to watch Train performer after the game which was awesome. One thing I did notice that is different from Progressive Field (my home stadium) is that they do not have any drink or food vendors going up and down the sections. Also ut seemed like every time I went to the restroom, there were stalls that ran put of toilet paper.

They have a section outside the concourse with the hall of fame and gift shop outside that allows even more entertainment and fun (it really seems like a party is going on every weekend that we go!) There are plenty of good seating options and food selections. Great for young and old, families and couples and anyone who loves baseball!!

We absolutely love our Reds stadium! There is not a bad seat in the whole place. We have sat next to many visitors and have had so many wonderful conversations about how wonderful our stadium is! The atmosphere is great and the views are fantastic! There is always upbeat music and fun fan interaction. We love our hometown team and love to cheer them on! Go Reds!!! Take us out to the ballgame! ⚾️ Handicapped accessible walkways, elevators, seating and parking.

A great facility to watch a MLB game. All the concessions are expensive. It's location is convenient to downtown restaurants. Getting an Uber or taxi after the game can be an adventure. The Reds staff were all accommodating and pleasant.

We attended a Reds/Phillies game while visiting Cincinnati from Delaware. The Great American Ballpark is a nice park. Located in downtown Cincinnati, we had a pretty easy time getting in. The park itself was relatively empty for this particular game. Not sure if that's normal or not. The food and beer options were very limited for an MLB ballpark. The sightlines of the stadium were nice though. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.

Wide open classic ballpark. Not designed well for daytime summer games as it is HOTTTTT. But evening games spring and fall would be a great time to go. Fans were courteous for opposing fans (Brewers 2025). Food and drink are priced reasonably as well as seats. Cooling fans, Ice Cream, and cold drinks help with the hear of the day. Greaters Ice Cream behind home plate is REALLY GOOD! Get some while you are there!

The Cincinnati Art Museum, established in 1881, is a historical venue with a remarkable collection of over 67,000 works spanning 6,000 years. It features paintings by renowned European and American artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Winslow Homer, and Georgia O'Keeffe. The museum also showcases an impressive selection of Asian, African, and Native American art.
The Cincinnati Art Museum is a must see. I was traveling and decided to detour in Cincinnati for the night. I came on a Sunday and it's free on Sundays along with free parking. There are tons of beautiful pieces and I appreciate there are a lot more paintings here. The Cleveland Art Museum and the Richmond Art Museum have more artifacts than paintings or other traditional forms of art. I saw many paintings I've never seen before. Most art museums focus on French art but this one focuses more on English, Egyptian, Roman and Asian. A nice change of pace. The museum is perched on the high hills of Cincinnati to overlook a spectacular view. Great museum.

This art museum was awesome! Especially loved the Cincinnati collections but all of the exhibits were well designed and crafted. The employees were extremely kind and helpful as well! Entry to general exhibits is free as well, so it was a great respite from the heat. Buying tickets in advance online allows a small discount to the price of the special exhibits.

Great art museum!! They had some beautiful works and we got to see tje bicycles and farm-to-table exhibits, which were awesome. We spent 4 hours there and didn't see everything. Before heading out, we had lunch at the cafe and sat outside in the gorgeous courtyard. The grounds are gorgeous too - we walked around and admired the landscaping and views of the city. Highly recommend if you visit Cinci!

We went to the butterfly exhibit. It was really neat! If you’re subject to having heat aversion, I would refrain from going in the heat of the day. The butterflies are most active in the heat, so it’s like a sauna in there. With that said, it was such a fun and educational activity! There’s no touching the butterflies with your bare hands, watching them fly around was just as neat! You could turn it into a scavenger hunt and see how many species you could find. Then walk through the gardens outside. Ticket prices are very fair! They have a little gift shop and an Italian Ice cart as well.

I really loved the conservatory, as a plant lover and bug lover. It was beautiful to see so many butterflies I work with as a mixed media artist specializing in insect taxidermy, giving them a second life, still enjoying their first life. They were so beautiful! It was hot, but it was worth it.

The interior is absolutely beautiful with comfortable seating and very good sight lines. Acoustically it was excellent. Once nice touch was the closed-captioning for English. It was up and out of the way. You could either ignore it, or quickly flick your eyes up to it without disrupting the performance. The ease of entry and the ability to get to our seats without confusion was also very good. There is also a reasonable drink/snack selection at the bars.

The Cincinnati Museum Center is such a cool spot. The Art Deco building alone is worth the visit; seriously gorgeous and full of vintage charm. We grabbed tickets on Groupon which made it super easy (saved a few dollars), and the exhibits ended up being way more fun and interactive than I expected (even just for two adults). We skipped the kids’ museum this time, but the other areas had so many hands-on things that I’m sure the children’s section is awesome too. We spent about 3–4 hours wandering around and never felt too crowded, even on a Sunday morning. Parking was a easy. Overall, just a really fun, easy, and memorable way to spend half a day.

Loved this place. So educational. The miniature Cincinnati setup was amazing especially switching from day to night and trolleys, trains, and cars movie. Oh and the plane circling. I was mesmerized. The ice cream sadly was closed. Just a gorgeous structure. Loved that the original doors were still in use and there were other items from long ago that were used. One complaint. The food at the restaurant was simply awful. $17 for a hot dog, chips, and drink. The hot dog was tossed it was just that bad on a cold stale bun with only ketchup and mustard as options. The hog dog was cold. For that alone I won't return. The staff, except one lady who served the tray at the counter, weren't cordial. She was though. Didn't have plain chips so she watched my tray while I was told to go back out of the restaurant and select some and return. I want my money back! Lol. Stay away from the restaurant.

The American Sign Museum, located in a former factory space, is a captivating exploration of the history and significance of American signage. The museum aims to preserve this important aspect of American heritage by showcasing a vast collection of signs from the past. Visitors can stroll through the exhibition space, which houses myriad signs and learn about the art of sign-making at the working neon sign shop.
This place is amazing. Every kind of sign you can think of is in this museum. The signs are arranged by different categories. There is a room that has a movie about the American Sign Museum. It talks about how the signs are made. How the museum acquired the signs. Also the talent artists who were a big part of making the museum come to life. It was very interesting and educational. I wish I had seen the movie first because I had to walk back through the museum to see what they were talking about. It took about 2 hours to go through the museum. Admission is $20.00. Parking is free and the parking lot is small. Go spend a couple hours and see the signs from the past.

It was a nostalgic visit and felt like we warped back in time. There were signs that brought back memories that I seen on television, and are present today that have been modernized. Parking out front. Large murals surround the parking area and there are a few big signs in before entering the museum. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a small gift shop with cool memorabilia.

Neon Sign Museum – A Surprisingly Charming and Relaxed Experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the Neon Sign Museum. Sure, it’s essentially a warehouse full of old signs, but it’s way better than I expected. The facility is well-maintained, featuring a working neon shop and a small theatre that showcases the museum’s creation and the artists behind it. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the signs and their history, which makes the experience even more engaging. What I loved most is how relaxed it is — no strict rules or time limits, and visitors are free to roam around at their own pace without supervision. They always welcome any questions. There’s also a souvenir shop for those interested. If you appreciate vintage signs and want to learn about the craftsmanship behind them, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum is a sprawling 1840s cemetery and arboretum located in the northern outskirts of Cincinnati. Covering over 700 acres, it is the second largest graveyard in the United States and a National Historic Landmark. The site is home to numerous notable burials, including Civil War generals, baseball players, former mayors, and abolitionists.
Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum is truly a hidden gem in Cincinnati. With its breathtaking 733 acres of beautifully maintained landscapes, it feels more like a stunning park than a cemetery. The variety of native and exotic plants, including the remarkable State and National Champion Trees, is incredible. The history behind the ‘lawn plan’ concept originated here is fascinating, and it’s easy to see why Spring Grove has become a model for cemetery design across the country. Walking through the grounds, you can’t help but admire the peaceful atmosphere and appreciate the artistry in the landscape. The combination of historic architecture, the Centenarian Collection, and the wide-open green spaces makes it a perfect spot for reflection or simply enjoying nature. This place has a heart and soul, offering visitors a magnificent resting place and a serene escape. Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or simply searching for a tranquil experience, I highly recommend a visit .

Autumn perfection with history and calm Visited during peak fall color and it was stunning. Rolling lawns, a mirror-still lake with perfect reflections, and maples blazing from gold to deep red. I wandered from stately family mausoleums to quiet benches under the trees—every corner felt peaceful and beautifully kept. What I loved Foliage & light: Late-afternoon sun paints long shadows and sets the canopies on fire—fantastic for photography. Water features: The pond is glassy and ideal for reflections. Historic art & architecture: Sculptures and mausoleums (like ERKENBRECHER, McMASTER, McDONALD) add a timeless, museum-like feel. Space to breathe: Huge grounds, easy to find quiet spots to sit and reflect. Tips Best time for photos: 60–90 minutes before sunset (or early morning for soft light). Drive slowly; there are many narrow lanes and pedestrians. It’s an active cemetery—please be respectful around services and markers. I’ve attached photos from today to show the variety: a tree-lined bench scene, a Gothic-style chapel framed by leaves, brilliant maples, still-water reflections, and several historic monuments. If you’re in Cincinnati in autumn, this is a must-visit.

1848 est - Second largest graveyard in the USA! Bigger than Arlington and gorgeous relaxing scenic place with lakes and botanical garden like landscaping. Many of Cincinnati's Elite & prominent families from its pork & industrial 1800s heydays are laid to rest here. The most expensive recent addition is a 2 million dollar mausoleum 😳 Great for a bike ride, walk or run or just a slow relaxing drive. Highly recommend checking it out. The fall colors are worth noting as there are many varied tree species here. 1848 is when it was sanctified. Many geese goose ducks & swans in and around the ponds.

If you are into Cemeteries, historical headstones, want to see some of the most stunning, detailed family plots, crypts and statues...then this is the Cemetery for you. The 3rd largest Cemetery in the United States, you need to dedicate an entire 8 hr or more day to exploring this place. We came back e days in a row for 2 hours each time and I feel like there was so much that we missed.

This was probably the most exceptional small/medium art museum I have ever visited, and I visit a lot of art museums. Even outside of its wonderful Turner watercolor exhibit, it had an ideal Turner to other junk ratio. The entrance murals were really a remarkable surprise, as were the extensive watch and decorate arts displays. The museum really puts its best foot forward with its display choices, and the period room settings make the experience.

The museum is in historic building with well preserved or restored decor. The collection is not big but has important artwork by Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Gainsborough, Corot and others. The portrait of Stevenson by Sargent is amazing. Also, a large collection of Asian and European porcelain. Probably the best Limoges works I have seen.

The Taft Museum of Art is a hidden gem in Cincinnati. Housed in a beautifully preserved Federal-style mansion dating back to the 1820s, the museum combines rich history with an intimate art experience. The collection includes European and American masterworks, decorative arts, and rotating exhibitions that are always thoughtfully curated. The museum’s size makes it perfect for a relaxed visit—you can enjoy world-class art without feeling overwhelmed. The gardens and grounds are peaceful, and the historical context (Baum, Longworth, Sinton, and Taft family ties) adds a fascinating layer to the visit. Staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the museum shop and café make for a nice stop after your tour. Whether you’re a visitor to Cincinnati or a local, this is absolutely worth your time. 📍 Centrally located, easy to access, and a wonderful cultural stop.

A really nice little museum of art in a gorgeous historic home! We visited on a Monday when admission was free. The building itself is a work of art, and each room was dedicated to different themes (mythology, portraits, and the dining room - gorgeous French landscapes!) They also have a rotating exhibit space, indigo quilts the day we visited. There’s a cafe and gift shop on site as well. We spent an hour (little kids don’t love art 😅) but it’s probably good for at least two if you take your time. Definitely worth a visit, and if I lived nearby, I’d definitely stop in from time to time to bask in the all the beauty. Con - no free parking for larger vehicles; we had to find a spot on the street.

Amazing and beautiful masterpieces and unique works of art. The story of how it came to be is fascinating. Very intimate and up close look at works of art. Knowledgeable staff who are passionate. The building itself that houses the works is incredible in and of itself. I've visited several times, it really is a gem.

We really enjoyed it. Although the directions to get here was stressful. Another problem waa we underestimated the amount of time it takes to truly look at everything. So we had to rush as it was closing. We will get there earlier next time. We loved the gift shop lady. She was so amazing and they have many items that are good for kids. I especially love the books and art items as we are a creative family and rather buy things like that than random trinkets. The art here is so full of history it just amazes me how talented they were in a time of limited resources. If they can create like that then I just wonder why can't we do the same or better with what we have now. Definitely coming back to eat as well it just wasn't open when we came.

This is a must see! You seriously have to check this exhibit out. My only issue was that it was a little confusing navigating through the different exhibits. It was hard knowing which was the correct way of starting and navigating through everything. Some prices weren't labelled in the gift shop. And the discount code for weekday admissions wouldn't work. Other than that, everything was great!

The security guards on the 4th floor need to relax. There was candy sitting out in a basket because Halloween was the night before. My pregnant friend saw it and popped a piece of candy and moved on. Few seconds later a man approached her and said "did you take that candy?" She said yes and he the proceeds to say it's for kids and she can't eat or drink on the floor. How about don't have it out then? It was clearly sitting out to see. Same man then proceeds to tell me to "watch where I'm going" as I moved along the floor, as there is artwork on the floor. I wasn't going to step on it, I was walking around it. Being scolded like a child when I didn't do anything is bizarre. It made for a terrible experience.

American Legacy Tours offers a range of guided tours that provide an in-depth look into the history and culture of Greater Cincinnati. Visitors can choose from various experiences, such as the Queen City Underground Tour, which delves into the historic OTR neighborhood and includes a journey through a 130-year-old tunnel. The Queen City Haunted Tour uncovers stories of paranormal activity and other intriguing tales from Cincinnati's past.
Enjoyed the Hidden Caverns Tour hosted by Miranda. The tour includes many interesting history and facts of Cincinnati, OTR, breweries and a walk through of underground tunnels where beer was brewed before mechanical refrigerating was available. Miranda was funny and well versed in knowledge of Cincinnati history, whales and chamber pots! And I enjoyed the free glass of beer at Northern Row after the tour.

If you’re even remotely interested in history, beer, or just having a great time, American Legacy Tour Company’s brewery tour is an absolute must-do in Cincinnati! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fascinating, and a ton of fun. Our guide, Miranda, was the heart and soul of the tour — incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about Cincinnati’s brewing heritage. You can tell right away that she truly loves what she does. Every stop came alive through their storytelling — from the 19th-century brewing giants that put Cincinnati on the map, to the hidden underground tunnels that make you feel like you’re stepping back in time. Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town, this tour will give you a whole new appreciation for Cincinnati. It’s not just about beer; it’s about community, craftsmanship, and the city’s incredible resilience. Highly recommend this experience — and if you can, ask for Miranda! You’ll walk away with a deeper love for the Queen City (and maybe a new favorite brew!).

Don’t miss it if you have a chance not to mention, can’t go wrong with the free beer.

Took the Cincinnati Underground tour with Breslin (aka Baconator). She was super fun and gave a ton of great info on the history of the Over The Rhine and beer brewing in Cinci.

Because the venue is downtown, they do provide police officers/guards at the entrances to ensure that no one is entering that shouldn't be. Would highly recommend as a wedding reception venue!!!

The Purple People Bridge, also known as the Newport Southbank Bridge, is a half-mile pedestrian-only bridge that connects Ohio's Sawyer Point Park to Kentucky's Newport on the Levee. It offers a picturesque walk from one state to another and is open for walkers, bikers, and runners. The bridge provides access to various dining and retail spots in both Ohio and Kentucky. Additionally, it offers stunning views of Cincinnati and Kentucky, making it a popular spot for romantic walks during sunrise or sunset.
Another cool experience to be in 2 states at once. You can get a great photo standing in Kentucky and Ohio. The purple hue on the steel is unique for large bridges. It’s also a nice walk and a crisp view of the Cincinnati skyline.

This bridge has a loaded history. Go look it up on Wikipedia, you can have a fireside lore night with your friends. Anyway, this is very scenic and it's great to see this used in a 21st century manner. Low-key gives you cheaper parking for a Reds game. You can also rent it out for a private function. Maybe the next time the Vikings come to town, they should come here to prepare for a game. Might also stop them from constantly choking in the playoffs.

It was fun to stand at the border in the middle of the bridge and have each kid stand in different states while I stood in both. One side is Newport, Kentucky and the other side is Cincinnati, Ohio. We watched a large barge go down the Ohio river, boys enjoyed that. Could be a very romantic walk or one for running.

Nestled across the river from Cincinnati, Devou Park is a sprawling 700-acre oasis that offers an array of outdoor activities for everyone. This hilly retreat features scenic trails perfect for walking or biking, catering to all fitness levels. For those seeking adventure, the park boasts one of the newest mountain-biking trail systems in the area, complete with backcountry routes and challenging inclines.
PROS ➕ Great overlook area ➕ Extensive trail systems ➕ Large parking lots ➕ Amenities CONS ➖ None Date visited: 05/27/2025 I thought Memorial Day was perfect for seeing the park, so I went to Devou Park. I had heard about its epic overlook of downtown Cincinnati. The crowd ruined it for me. I went again the next day. It was rainy and chilly, uncommon for late spring, but it chased away the crowd. I saw only two people. The road looped around the park, stretched forever, but eventually led me to a vantage point. The city lay before me. A light shower cast a thin veil over the scene. I could not see far, so I let my imagination fill in the gaps. Most landmarks were still visible: the bridges, the ballparks, the skyscrapers. The once-vibrant green trees had turned a strange shade of gray or blended into the mist. The rain grew heavier. Fortunately, parking was generous even on busy days. I found a spot just steps away from the overlook. A platform had been built for the crowd. Picnic chairs and tables sat sparsely but strategically. On rainy days, I would sit in one of the two small pavilions with solid roofs nearby. I tried one of the park restrooms. It was usable, but the smell was horrendous. Beside the famous overlook, the park also offered shelters and hiking trails—an extensive system, really. I will definitely come back for them. Tears on city line, soft mist hangs on thin smoke walls, divides earth and sky.

Montague / Sleepy Hollow Trail. Location is right off Montague Road on the west side of Devou Park. Excellent running trail. Get over a 5k if you do the loop. The first .7 miles are rocky and also climb elevation quickly. If the trail is wet , watch for slick conditions. You also have rocks and roots to contend with. After .7 or so you reach a hairpin curve. Maybe a couple more elevations, switchbacks. After that you start a downhill path. Go all out or go slow. Exhilarating descent! Watch for turtles , and squirrels! Ample parking. There is also a porta-potty , a few tables, and even a changing room. Walker and pets welcome just see the rules.

Very good getaway place from city life or for picnic especially for family. 1. Parks offers trails which are not too great but decent and enjoyable with family and friends. But not for long distance hiking. They are short but beautiful with greenery. 2. There is small river but it dried up when I went. But it would have been beautiful if there is water. 3. There is tree house, which is interesting but was closed when we went for maintenance. But signs shows it would open for spring. 4. There are restrooms and surprised well maintained. 5. There are picnic areas with shelter and parks for kids. Lots of open space for fun. 6. Good parking lot space and free. 7. No Entrance fee, absolutely free. 8. We saw wedding happening in the park, so can book for wedding too. Congrats to new couple and it was beautiful. They are lovely together and I liked they did tied knot in the beautiful nature.

Great hiking trails. We took our son and his friend for an afternoon hike. It was very nice. It wasn't crowded. The trails are slightly challenging, but something a novice can handle.

I really like this park. It of course gets pretty busy sometimes but there are a few different areas depending on what you are going for. We have had 2 baby showers here at the shelter twords the bottom of the park where it circles around. There are some nice trails and a big tree house that the kids always think it's pretty neat. We didn't maternity pics around there for my daughter when she was pregnant with her first and they turned out beautifully. We haven't went to the play area because it is usually pretty packed there a lot of times but there is a play area across from where the tree house is and there is another side where you can grill or walk around. There is frisbee toss on that side as well

Such a special place! The owners were so passionate and friendly and gave us such a personable tour. All-in we were there for just under an hour, but it is definitely worth checking it out, just make sure to make a reservation ahead of time!

This was a wonderful experience! I went with a friend and we weren't sure what it was going to be like, but any expectation we had got blown right out of the water. This is such a massive and lovingly curated collection, I feel any cat lovers should probably give it a visit if they can. The owner is so friendly and passionate about her work that it really elevates the whole experience! I really hope they get to keep growing. Also, the gift shop is so adorable, I really hope to be able to return some day 😻

Wasn’t sure what to expect but this little museum was a wonderful find! The owner was very sweet and met us early one morning. Her collection was impressive! Think of the lucky cat concept but expanded 100 fold. Most things are not for sale, but she does have some items for purchase. We were not disappointed.

I am a Cincinnati native and this was my first time visiting the Lucky Cat Museum! They don't do advertising, so I heard about it from a friend and knew I had to check it out! Admission was free, which is awesome! The owner was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She was very attentive, but at the same time let us wander around and explore on our own. The museum is not super large, it's the owners personal collection. It took me about 45 minutes to look at everything. There's so much to see in a small space, the more you look, the more you see. There's also a gift shop!! The prices were very fair as well. Donations are accepted, so don't forget to bring some cash!! I'll definitely be telling friends about this hidden gem! 😻

Absolutely wonderful! This museum was so unique and totally exceeded my expectations. Not being super familiar with the lucky cats, I worried it may be overly kitschy, cheap, or repetitive, but the collection ran the gamut from brand tie-ins and children's toys to art pieces and custom-made cats. I was also surprised by how organized it was - rather than a giant personal collection thrown into whatever cases might work (as I may have suspected going in), the museum is laid out in a very thoughtful way with each display highlighting different types, eras, materials, or origins of the cats. It was surprisingly informative too, with meticulous labels that highlight the artists and what makes nearly every piece unique. I learned a lot about the maneki neko that I didn't know before. By far the highlight was the owner! She did a great job of engaging with each visitor while we were there without being intrusive or pushy. I appreciated the way she tailored her conversation to each demographic of visitor - she talked about her personal cats (two of which were at the museum!) and showed off works by children's artists for the young kids who were there, but when my group of late twenties men walked in she talked to us about Junji Ito. She was so passionate and knowledgeable about each piece on display. The museum was a great value (free!) and we loved being able to support them a little at the super reasonably priced and cute gift area afterward. Despite being, really, a single room, the whole museum is filled wall to wall with cute and interesting art and curated with knowledge and love (we spent over an hour and could have stayed longer). Overall a really great surprise and a must-visit for anyone who loves cats or just appreciates off-the-wall unique places.

This place was AMAZING!!! I went here with my family and everyone had a great time. There were also hands on actives for younger kids. There were tons of cats in the collection and the owner was very friendly. She explained a lot about the history of the lucky cat and the culture. She could even explain the history of certain pieces of the collection as well. My personal favorite was the disco cat. Everyone should visit here! (=^・ω・^=)

Hotel
The Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza is a historic art deco hotel located in the heart of Cincinnati. It offers over 140 luxurious guest rooms and suites, featuring amenities such as roman tubs, fireplaces, and balconies. Guests can also enjoy the hotel's fitness room and nearby attractions like the Great American Ballpark. The hotel is part of the Carew Tower Complex, an iconic Art Deco architectural landmark in downtown Cincinnati.
Beautiful hotel. Service was great and had no complaints except room service got our order wrong twice and we had to wait almost an hour between each delivery. Bathroom was a little small in the room but that makes sense since it's an old building. It was right downtown with a beautiful view of the river. Within walking distance of a lot of food, shops, and entertainment. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.
Annie L — Google review
Pros: Excellent location and great view of the river. Art deco decor - in the lobby has a nice touch. Front desk staff-Tanesha and Carter were awesome! Very courteous and professional. Cons: Room was very spacious-however, it was musty and dusty!! OMG! Very lukewarm water in bathroom, sink faucet leaked, flat bed pillows-had to use pillows from the other bed just to get comfortable. Rooms could definitely use a serious refresh. Would not stay there again.
Sartura S — Google review
What a gem this hotel is! We arrived at about the same time all the baseball fans were trying to check in and the staff was very helpful. The doorman gave us the rundown on what to expect and some pointers to make things go smoothly. The desk was short staffed but handled everyone with respect, professionalism, and didn’t rush anyone through, making sure we had what we needed. Our room was clean and fit in nicely with the aesthetic of the hotel. What an amazing history this place has! We spent almost two hours checking out the displays, reading the signs, and enjoying the atmosphere. I love the corridor with all the salons- each doorway has a different architectural style with a sign explaining what it is. It felt like a museum! I won’t say it is haunted, but you could definitely feel the past grandeur of the spaces and easily imagine what the place was in all of its glory. I really wish we could have seen the hall of mirrors!

It's beautiful but I was stuck on an elevator with my 3 yo daughter. When I went to tell the lady at the desk about this she told me, Well things just happen sometimes. It really upset me. My diamond account revied no points for the visit. They also took my deposit. I'm a diamond member with Hilton. I feel like she intentionally stole my deposit for absolutely no reason. I have never not received my deposit back. I paid $600 for my room to have a good time with my kid. I will never return. She made me feel uncomfortable to even walk through the lobby. I will be reporting her today. They also charged me around $100 just to park at the hotel over my stay. Do not ever go to a gas station near downtown. Reminded me of the hood in Chicago. If you look up the gas stations their photos are of shooting and police. I will never stay downtown Cincinnati again. Also, my sheet had a stain and multiple holes in the sheet. The plastic to the air-conditioner was hanging off the wall. There was liquid on the walls. Ive never stayed at such a nasty Hilton in my life. It's beautiful outside the room. That's about it. Horrible experience
Adam O — Google review
The hotel and lobby definitely feels like you stepped into a time machine. Done up with art deco, like the empire state building. I love how they try to preserve its historic charm! The location is excellent also, walkable to a lot of Cincy attractions. Where it lacks is in the rooms themselves, Old, banged up, needing some TLC. I've stayed in many Hiltons around the country and this one probably needs the most work. Found stained sheets, blankets, and mattresses that made my wife and I change rooms 3 times. The front desk was more than accommodating though. Not the worst hotel I've ever stayed in but would like to see some improvements before I stay here again.
Richard M — Google review
The staff was always kind and helpful, my first thought was this hotel is old and needed a face lift especially for the cost of the room but once I really started to wonder I loved the vintage feel and I’m sure it would cost a fortune to fix what needs to be fixed … also loved the location but not the parking garage fee! Pretty sure we over paid on our way out … we spent a few evenings in the 1931 restaurant and bar great food and service , loved our waiter Nehemiah and bar waitress Suzanne she was working very hard they were extremely busy and she needed help they happened to be under staffed … morning coffee was delicious and yes room service could use some improvement and the elevators seemed a little shaky the beds and pillows were super comfortable!! I might consider staying there again if I’m in town

SCAM!! If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We woke up on the morning after our stay to a $700 room charge. When we went to the front desk to ask what was going on, we were told there was a $700 bar tab closed and “charged to our room number” at almost midnight the night before. We explained to the people working at the front desk and security that this could not possibly have been us. We went out to dinner down the street Saturday evening and had a few drinks at a local sports bar that night and were in bed by 11pm. We never entered the bar. When they showed us the receipt, there was a completely different room number written down, then scribbled out to put our number and name. There were 20+ charges on the receipt. There’s no way 2 people could have ran up a tab like that period. What I think actually happened? I think they allowed someone to run up a $700 bar tab and get so drunk they couldn’t speak or even pay, they gave the wrong room number (originally 2350). Then they looked it up and realized that nobody was staying in that room and they didn’t want to get stiffed so they wrote 2315 (our room number) and looked up who was staying and just wrote in our names. You can clearly tell it was not our signature. It wasn’t even a signature at all. Just a printed name. The people working the front desk treated us awful. You could tell they thought we were guilty of running up a bar tab we couldn’t pay for. One lady went as far as to ask us if we had a friend that was playing a joke. We told them to pull the cameras and they would clearly see it wasn’t us. They claimed there was no one there that was capable of doing that until Monday morning. We asked them if they needed a picture of us for the person that was coming in Monday to be able to look at since this person clearly would have no idea who we were or what we looked at. They wouldn’t take any photos or proof of our identity. And guess what.. Monday came and they won’t return our calls. Nobody has checked the cameras. And we got charged over $1,000 for a one-night stay. We stayed here overnight to enjoy a nice date night away before going to the game on Sunday and now we will spend the next X amount of days trying to get this sorted out with the credit card company. DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCAMMED.

My rating as always is 5, I love Hilton and have been a member for many years and will continue choosing Hilton when away from Home . Diego at front desk gets a 5 star in his customer service. He is polite and very kind and absolutely professional. Thank you.

Bridge
The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, an iconic 19th-century landmark connecting Kentucky and Ohio, boasts a span of 1,057 feet and was the world's longest suspension bridge upon its opening in 1866. Designed by John A. Roebling, who also designed the Brooklyn Bridge, this engineering marvel offers panoramic views of the Ohio River and has been a cherished part of Cincinnati's history for over 150 years.
This is one of the iconic landmarks of Cincinnati and this suspension bridge connects the Cincinnati city over the Ohio River. As per history this bridge was first made as a model before the New York Brooklyn Bridge was made. It was amazing to cross over this bridge as this was so majestic.

Beautiful historic suspension bridge connecting Cincinnati and Covington. Designed by the creator of the Brooklyn Bridge, it offers stunning skyline and river views. Perfect for a scenic walk and photos, especially at sunset.

Had a great trip. The bridge is awesome. There is a small parking lot beneath the bridge. But it was closed for an event. So we had to park somewhere else. There are Mural drawings and CVO sign to take pictures and couple of porta potties too.

An iconic landmark that beautifully connects Cincinnati, Ohio with Covington, Kentucky. Walking across the bridge is a unique experience — the blue steel structure, historic stone towers, and sweeping views of the Ohio River and skyline make it unforgettable. You can feel both history and engineering brilliance here (it was the prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge!). At sunset, the views are stunning, and the lighting at night adds even more charm. Whether walking, jogging, biking, or just taking photos, this is a must-visit spot in Cincinnati.

Beautiful bridge! Quick walk to & from Covington, Kentucky to see a fantastic view of downtown Cincinnati (not included because you'll just have to see it yourself.)
Jaclyn W — Google review
One of the best parts of Cincinnati. Whether you're on the KY side of the Cincinnati side, there's never a bad photo of this bridge. When my partner and I came to town I took him to see the bridge and the amazing views and parks that surround the area of the Roebling suspension bridge. Convenience to lots of walking areas, restaurants, hotels, airbnbs and all the fun and excitement that Cincinnati and NKY offers. Definitely take a moment and experience the bridge. They also did an awesome display during BLINK.

Observation deck
The Carew Tower Observation Deck, located on the 49th floor of the historic Carew Tower in downtown Cincinnati, offers visitors sweeping panoramic views of the city, Ohio River, and Northern Kentucky. This Art Deco architectural gem also houses a shopping center and the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza hotel. The observation deck provides a unique vantage point to admire the city's skyline and landmarks such as baseball and football stadiums.
Good: - spectacular views - historic building full of architectural details - good bang for your buck... enjoyment worth the ticket price Cautions: - separate “local” elevator or stairs required to move from 48th to 49th (roof) floor; this second elevator trip to reach the top is tight and may not accommodate all wheelchairs This review is based on a visit to the observatory on the roof. If you like tower views, heights, river or spectacular city views, this place is a MUST DO and well worth the cost. Highly recommended.
Troy W — Google review
Nice view. My kids thought it was cool. Downside, when you get all the way to the top, you have to pay, and they only accept cash. We were $2 short ( we had no idea they didn't take cards) and the lady wouldn't budge, so my husband had to stay inside while I showed the kids. It upset the kids that their dad couldn't be with us too and it put a damper on the whole thing.
Lauren S — Google review
I feel like this is a somewhat hidden gem in downtown Cincinnati. The observation deck is pretty neat. You take an elevator to one of the upper floors, get out and go to a much smaller seemingly rickety elevator that takes you up a couple more floors to a metal staircase. You climb that and come to a little room with an old lady watching TV and selling some tower trinkets. She asks you for some cash and then sends you out onto the open roof of the tower. No cage on this bad boy, just a 4 foot high stone rail. It was somewhat crummy when we went weather wise but the views were still great. I imagine that they are spectacular when the sun is shining. Get some pictures of downtown Cincinnati, the banks of the Ohio, then come back down to the tower lobby and read about the buildings history and check out some of the finer details of it's architecture.
Stephen G — Google review
Would definitely recommend visiting here if your not afraid of heights. Amazing view of Ohio and Kentucky! You take an elevator up to the 45th floor then you take another small elevators up a few more floor. Hint: go to Cincinnati on Sunday mornings , the street parking is free.

Breathtaking views! The best time to go would be on a clear night with no chance of rain. You can see much farther without fog or heavy clouds. It's Ambient, colorful and exhilarating. 2 people can get access for under $20. It can get windy up there. Bring a jacket. I went with a friend on a November night. It was chilly, but well worth it! Absolutely beautiful!

One of the eight wonders of Cincinnati. The city's original skyscraper. Beautiful Deco features. A few shops but always Hathaways. Observation deck costs $6 cash which I didn't have on me - a good excuse to return. Also houses the famed Netherland Hilton that is worth a visit in its own right.

Awesome views of the city. However they do not take debit cards, for the dumbest reason under the sun. According to the woman working the register, they do not take debit cards, because they do not want to be robbed.
Theo W — Google review
First time and only time I went to Cincy and had time to kill, so I wanted to hit a couple local attractions. I think it was like $7-8 and had some really cool views. Had to walk through a hotel to access the observation deck which was a bit confusing.

Candle store
Candle Lab OTR is a store that specializes in candles. It sells different types of candles, including soy, beeswax, and paraffin candles. The store also sells candle holders, wicks, and other related items.
This is the best date day idea! My husband took me here for a birthday date and we had so much fun. Candles are around $23-39 each. Tarts for a wax warmer were $15 and room spray was $16. It was buy 3 get 1 free. You start off by smelling a whole wall full of candles are writing down what scents you like. You then are guided to a seated bar where you can narrow it down to your favorite 3 scents and create your own fragrance to place in whatever medium you choose. Such a fun day! Highly recommend.

Staff was very friendly. This was my first time making candles. And I thought it would take longer, but the process was fairly quick. It was waiting doe them to set that took a long time (about 90 minutes for the size I bought). So prepare for that when planning. Also, parking is limited to street or surface parking lots which can vary in cost. But overall it was a fun experience.
Nichole R — Google review
My husband and I were visiting from Chicago and went here because someone we met while vacationing in Gatlinburg recommended it. At the Candle Lab we made a special candle “The Heichman”. We were on opposite ends of the scent spectrum and Natalie and Rolan (sp) were so patient with us. The process was so easy and fun. First you need to figure out what type of scents you like. In order to do that you need to smell the different candles they have. If you don’t want to smell all the candles, they are alphabetize so you can pick the ones that you already know you like. They provide you with a sheet of paper where you write down your top scents. Then they help you figure out a custom scent.We literally smelled like every scent. They helped us narrow it down to the perfect blend of “water” scents from our list. They also helped us do the same with our own individual wax melts and another one for my husband’s company Sweet Comfort Creations. We received a label so we can customize name our custom scents. We highly recommend going here if you want a creative way to connect with your loved ones and friends. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting and warm. We picked up our candles a few days later because we came late in the day. We highly recommend this place.

So much fun! You smell the scents, make notes of the ones you like, then you try to combine scents that work together. Once you have your combos, you can mix & pour your candles and name your scent. They have jars in a variety of sizes and colors, you can make tarts, and even spray! It takes about 2 hours before the candles are ready, so I'd plan to eat or just explore downtown. Very cool, would definitely recommend.
M. L — Google review
Went to The Candle Lab for the first time today and had such a great experience! They have so many scents to choose from it’s almost impossible to narrow it down to just three. The employees were extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing the final scents for the candle. You do everything from choosing which three scents go in the candle, making your own mixture of the oils so you decide how much of each one ends up in the candle, picking which jar you want, and decorating the label that will go on the bottom of the candle. I went by myself and had a great time but it would also be fun as a group. The candles only need about 2 hours to set so you have plenty of time to grab lunch or shop around OTR. Highly highly recommend!
