Things To Do
Smale Riverfront Park
Smale is a wonderful park in downtown Cincinnati. It provides sights of the skyline, Ohio river, and Kentucky, along with many attractions. There are bikes for rent, a carusel to ride, and two stadiums on either side to visit.
Mt. Airy Forest
Mt. Airy is a 1000+ acre forest located within Cincinnati city limits. It provides a more relaxed experience of Cincinnati. It features miles of hiking trails, a frisbee golf course, and a wheel chair accessible treehouse. All these features, including parking, are free.
Krohn Conservatory
Located in Eden Park, Krohn is the star of the Cincinnati Park system. It's the place to visit for seasonal flower and horticulture shows in Cincinnati. Eden park also features many other features that are fun to explore.
Graeter's Ice Cream
Arguably one of the best ice cream spots in the city, Graeter's is a Cincinnati favorite. They serve hand made ice cream with various flavors. While this one is close to the venue, there are many locations around greater Cincinnati where you can enjoy this favorite.
Skyline Chili
You have to try Cincinnati Style chili! And Skyline is our favorite. There are many locations around the city, but this one is close to Nathanael Greene Lodge
Go to a Red's Game
Go to one of the last games of the season. The reds play Pittsburg, St. Louis, and Boston that week. Or visit the Red's Hall of Fame Museum instead.
Findlay Market
Findlay is Ohio's oldest public market. Late September, it will most likely still be bustling with all kinds of goods. OPEN: SAT: 8am to 6pm SUN: 10am to 4pm
Kings Island
Brad and I love King's Island. It wil still be open during the weekends at this time. Look to see if Halloween Haunt has started! This is a fun way to ride some roller coasters, and go to some Haunted Houses, all in one place.
Rhinegeist Brewery
Brad and I have personally never been, but if you like craft beer and Cincinnati History, this brewery is the place to go. Located in Over-the-Rhine, a historically German neighborhood, it is a happening spot to be. This is what WCPO Editor Mike Canan said about Rhinegeist: There’s probably much debate about this, but my wife and I consider Rhinegeist to be the king of local breweries. The boys don't get a vote. But the wide-open space offers pingpong and cornhole to occupy the kiddos Source: http://www.wcpo.com/entertainment/local-a-e/here-is-wcpo-editor-mike-canans-list-of-top-nine-places-to-share-with-out-of-town-friends
