An Easter weekend visit to Cincinnati was topped off with a trip to Ault Park. The sun was shinning and the weather was perfect for a visit to the park; obviously we were not the only one's who thought it was a perfect day to be out in nature for the park was covered with people, but the crowd did not detract from the charm and beauty of Ault Park. The park looked to be a great location to stroll through the cherry tree orchard, eat a picnic on the concert green, take a hike on one of the many trails, or view the surrounding area from the top of the pavilion.

The overlook is the best view in the tri state area. I could sit and look at Covington and Cincinnati's skylines for hours. There are many playgrounds for kids, a golf course, a museum, shelter houses, an event location, a historic bandshell, and so many green spaces with picnic tables and places to relax and hike.

6. Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

This second oldest zoo in the U.S., considered one of the best in the country, is most renowned for its endangered species and birthing programs, particularly for gorillas and white tigers, and has a wonderful collection of felines and a delightful manatees exhibit.

I've been coming to this zoo for 30 years and I cannot express in words the memories that have been made here. I remember when Bruiser the walrus would spit water on me as a kid (excellent way to cool off on a summer's day). I got to stay overnight and do a guided night tour, traveled behind the scenes to see how they take care of animals, and have watched this place grow throughout the years. 'Africa' added lions and a large paddock for grazers in addition to a nice balcony with tables overlooking the whole area. Cooling stations run all day when it's hot, penguins roam the paths with keepers when it's cold, and I proposed to my wife at the Festival of Lights 'round Christmas. They also have animal encounters which, while a bit pricey, contribute to conservation efforts and offer once in a lifetime experiences like being face to face with an elephant. You can feed a giraffe if you like. They have learning stations everywhere, rotating educational encounters, and anyone in a zoo uniform will tell you a personal story about one or more of the animals. Finally, if you plan to go, I strongly advise a membership pass if only for the free parking. You get discounts on food and merch, as well; it pays for itself in two trips. Check the website out, too; they have some really cool events that go to help with conservation efforts and are a lot of fun to attend. Give it a shot and you might find you keep coming back for the rest of your life.

This new home for the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest major league baseball team in the U.S., balances its spiffy new look with nostalgic tributes to the team's history including reminders of Crosley Field, where it all began.
Reviewed By London_Lad61
My girlfriend and I attended one of the games at the end of the season, against the NY Mets. It was our first trip to the ball park during our time in Cincy. The setting of the stadium is perfect as you have backdrops of the skyline of downtown Cincinnati on one side, and the Ohio river on the other. The food and drink on offer was good, some good local brews and food, and the price was in line with a lot of the other sporting arenas around the country. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. Neither of us are Reds (or Mets) fans but we certainly enjoyed a good day at a very nice ballpark!
