    Very nice zoo but very hilly. This was our third day in a row of walking 3 to 4 miles and we are in our mid 70’s! Probably not the optimal time to visit as there were a LOT of school groups there!

    I don’t think that Great American gets enough credit for its unique qualities that really tie it to the city and region. From the smokestacks to the riverboat in center field, you know you are in Cincinnati when you enter this park. Even the light poles that tie it back to Crowley Field.

    Beyond that though, the park is lacking. I had to walk forever to find a hot dog, which was flavorless. My seats this time were great, but this is the first time in approximately 10 visits that I liked the seats and I have been all over the park. They pushed the 50/50 raffle hard, but saw no other vendors during the 7 innings we stayed.

    Pluses include, the sound system, which is very good and the location, which allows easy drop off by Lyft/Uber and has lots of restaurants in easy walking distance for after the game. The employees in both the food stand and souvenir shop were great. Though I did not visit this time, I’ve been to the Reds Hall of Fame and is very good. The minuses include the views from most of the seats, the poor food quality, and the general experience which is not as exciting as most ball parks I’ve been to. The race between the Mr. Reds is an obvious rip off of the Sausage Race in Milwaukee, the music choices and between inning games etc. seemed to fall flat.

    The place is huge. It is free to get in and park. There was a kid event today so they were everywhere. It was super neat to see a Picasso. It was quite neat. There are three floors and room after room. If you love artist will give you a nice time.

    If you are into signage, typography, history or vintage stuff (and especially if you're into all of the above), you're going to love it here! They have an AMAZING collection of signs and so much background information on everything. We listened to a little bit of a tour and I wish we had stayed for the whole thing because the tour guide was great; it's not often that you meet someone who gets to do something they truly love for work. There is also a neon shop in the back where they give demonstrations. Free parking, which was nice, and the museum is easy to find. Well worth the cost of admission but it's not so huge that you're overwhelmed. We took about an hour and a half to go through it but I like to read EVERYTHING. They have a small gift shop where they sell airbrushed hats which is maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen in a museum gift shop. You will notice signage everywhere else you go for the rest of the day after visiting this place. Definitely set aside an hour or two to visit if you are in the area!

    large old cemetery and botanical garden. Great place for winter walk on beautiful day. Lots of mature trees and plants and a few lakes. I didn't stay long but enjoyed walking around and saw a few birds. The swans were so graceful and lovely to watch. the stone bridges would be good for pictures.

    I like walking across bridges, especially ones that lead from one state to another. So this one was fun even if it is a rather short walk (10 min if strolling?). The views of Covington and Cincinnati are lovely from each side.
    This bridge doesnt indicate when you cross the state line like the Purple People Bridge, but it does have spots on the walk where you can use a QR code and hear some history about the bridge and its construction.

    A beautiful museum with indepth exhibits. A must see stop in the city. We planned 2 hours to go through the museum and did not get through it all. Would recommend if you read all of the informational plackards, you should allow more time.

    It’s still early March and sighs of spring are ever slowly starting. This is one of our favorite times to visit the Krohn Conservatory to see the beautiful flowers in the spring show especially after a long dreary winter. It’s not especially large as you can see everything in an hour or less. Still it leaves you feeling elated about the coming warmer seasons to come. Granted prices have risen a bit after Covid but is still reasonable for those who enjoy a calming setting filled with flowers and plants.

    What a fun and scenic area to explore while visiting Cincinnati and the riverwalk. There are swings to enjoy, play areas to explore, a nice walkway along the river with a closeup view of the bridge, and even a light show at the fountain steps! A very creative and thoughtful design. We visited in the evening so parking was easy, no crowds, and just a nice place to be outside.

    Come hungry. We ate brunch before coming here and wished we hadn't. They have SO MANY kinds of food. You can also buy things like spices, tea, plants, handmade goods, etc. If we had been in town for longer, we would have bought groceries here to make a meal or two back at the apartment we were staying at. There is an inside section and outside booths, and it's surrounded by lots of great shops as well. They have a bar serving alcohol and coffee as well as free water. A great spot to grab a drink and people watch. It's also dog friendly so bring your dog or look at other people's dogs, it's really a win-win situation. Lots of reasonable prices parking nearby, and the Connector also stops here. They entire neighborhood has loads of shops and restaurants. They have trailer type bathrooms where you have toilet and sink to yourself which is much appreciated when you're out and about. A great place to chill for a couple of hours.
