Spending the firs week of July in Cincinnati. Any suggestion what to do there?

Answer 1

Kings Island amusement park

Answer 2

There is a lot to see and do but it depends on your interests.

Check out this site - it has information on all of the attractions in the area.

My favorite things to do with visitors...in no particular order

1 Downtown. Go to the top of the Carew Tower downtown. Great views of the tri-state area. Also, while there check out the Hilton Hotel if you are into art deco and their buffet is good too. The (small private collection of art) Taft Museum is worth a visit - only takes about 90minutes. Fountain square is a construction site right now ..not very pretty.

2. Union Terminal Museum Center - is a great building which you can take a behind the scenes tour for free or go to one of the three museums History of Cincinnati, Natural History or Children's and also the Imax theater is there.

3 The Zoo and Botanical gardens.

4. Go over the river to Newport on the Levee. Newport is a great area to hang out, eat and drink, catch a movie. The Aquarium is my favorite place - great shark viewing. Also you can take a guided climb of the Purple People Bridge if you don't mind heights.

5. Eden Park where you will find the Art Museum and Krohn Conservatory (tropical plants) both of which have free entry.

6. Spring Grove Cemetary and Arboretum. Seriously - great place to walk, interesting history and self guided tours, lots of different plants, trees and birds.

7. Waterparks - The Beach, Coney Island (great place for younger children) , Paramount Kings Island (great roller coasters) also now has a water park as well.

Answer 3

If you have kids or are a kid at heart:
Kings Island
Beach Waterpark
Union Terminal Museum Center
Cincinnati Zoo

If you are looking for night life check out
Newport on the Levy (In Northern KY)
Mt. Adams

If you like concerts:
Bogarts [Small indoor venue]
Riverbend [Large outdoor venue concerts during the summer]
Concerts in the park [Live bands most Wednesdays down by the River]

If your hear for the fire works there are plently of great places showing Rozzi Famous Fireworks.

Sports:
Reds are in town all week with fireworks and other special nights.

Try something purely Cincinnati:
Play Cornhole
Greaters Ice Cream
The Cone in West Chester
Skyline

Answer 4

Cincinnati Zoo

Answer 5

Kings Island & The Beach, just North of Cincy. Reds night games are good in July (and even better if they win!). Newport on the Levee is great. Between Newport & surrounding area malls, there's lots of shopping. I'm pretty sure there's a big 4th of July thing down by the river. There'll be all kinds of firework shows around town too.

Answer 6

Good aquarium across the river in Kentucky, check out a game at Great American Ball park (Reds), Kings Island Amusement Park, The Cincinnati Zoo, walk across the top of the suspension bridge (It's a new experience in town where you wear a safety harness and walk across the top of the suspension bridge). The Beach Waterpark.

Answer 7

If you are looking for a special July 4th event there is "Red, White, and Blue Ash" (in Blue Ash) which is a free concert and fireworks. HEART headlines at 8:15, and fireworks at 10:00 pm...if you can deal with crowds, parking, and lots of walking.

Answer 8

great zoo, king's island (amusement park), catch a concert at riverbend, hang out in newport (just over the river in KY), hang out in Mt. Adams and catch great views of the city, Cincinnati Musuem, Union Terminal museum center, go to a Reds game, shop in downtown at Macys, Tiffany's and Saks, check out small boutiques in Hyde Park, EAT ICECREAM AT GRAETERS!, go to the top of the Carew Tower...although I had trouble finding it so I'd call!

Answer 9

I always try to catch a river boat ride/tour when I'm there.One that includes lunch or dinner.
