Things To Do
Carabello Coffee Company
Our very favorite coffee shop and meeting place in town. Check out the Analog coffee bar for a rotating list of specialty drinks prepared in front of you by the shop's talented baristas.
Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
Ranked #2 zoo in the country by USA Today, the Cincinnati Zoo is a classic spot for fun and close to where we met in medical school. Take the chance to meet young hippos Fiona and Fritz or see the wide variety of other exhibits inside!
Newport Aquarium
We went here on the last date we had before getting engaged. Whether petting sharks and stingrays, coming face to face with penguins, or watching massive sea turtles glide in their habitats, you can easily spend hours of fun here.
Newport on the Levee
With a boardwalk on the river and an array of shops, entertainment, and restaurants, Newport on the Levee is a great place to go for any occasion. We encourage you to walk across the bridge to get the full experience.
Jungle Jim's International Market
This place feels like a theme park as much as it does a grocery store. Any international food you could imagine is contained in this sprawling food exploration experience. You can easily spend an hour or two just walking around and enjoying the sights, and it's easy to find something new to try.
Cincinnati Art Museum
We had one of our earliest dates at this beautiful and relaxing museum. Whether you love art or are just looking for somewhere to walk around, this free experience is one of our favorites to enjoy.
Topgolf West Chester
It's golf the easy way, for all ages and skill levels! If you have never gotten to experience TopGolf, it's definitely worth a try. Plus, there are plenty of great restaurants--and even an IKEA--nearby if you want to spend some extra time.
Devou Park
Devou Park is full of great walking trails, an amphitheater, and even a disc golf course. Most of all, park at the overlook to find the best place in the entire area to get a view of downtown Cincinnati. We love to take visitors here!
The BonBonerie
The BonBonerie is a top-tier bakery in Cincinnati and where we will be getting our wedding cake. Stop by for a sneak preview or second look at their delicious desserts.
Ault Park
Ault Park is a beautiful and quiet park with trails and paved open spaces alike. We will always have sentimental feelings for this place where we went on one of our first few dates.
Kings Island
Rollercoasters and attractions await! In the Fall, this park transforms to host spooky Halloween Haunts in the evening (best for age 13+). If you like a thrill, this park is for you.
Riverside Park
Riverside Park is a great place to go to get up close to the river and the various pro sports venues along it. Why not take a walk?
Mt. Airy Forest Disc Golf Course
We love to have a fun round of hiking and disc throwing, and Mt. Airy park is home to one of our favorite disc golf courses in the area. We have to put it on our list of favorite Cincinnati spots.
