Cincinnati Events

Cincinnati, Ohio, is a vibrant city with a rich history and plenty of things to see and do. Here are a few suggestions for something to do in Cincinnati:

• Visit the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal. This historic train station has been transformed into a museum that features exhibits on natural history, science, and regional history.
• Take a walk or bike ride through the Cincinnati Park system. The city has many beautiful parks, including the scenic Eden Park and Smale Riverfront Park.
• Go to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden.
• Visit the Kings Island. Just a short drive from downtown Cincinnati, Kings Island is the largest amusement park in the Midwest. It tops every other park in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. More than 3.5 million visitors flock to its roller coasters every year, and that’s only when the park is open during the spring and summer months!
• Go to the Jack Cincinnati Casino at Hard Rock Hotel. Gambling was only recently legalized in Ohio, and the Jack Cincinnati Casino sprung up in 2013 to fulfill the sudden demand of people eager to meet Lady Luck. It isn’t the largest casino in the state, but it offers more than enough fun for anyone seeking a jackpot in Cincinnati. More than 2,000 slot machines line the corridors, and almost 100 game tables are devoted to roulette and blackjack.

Cincinnati is a city on the Ohio River. The Over-the-Rhine district is known for its 19th-century architecture, including Findlay Market, which has food and craft vendors. To the north is the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. The Cincinnati Museum Center encompasses history, science, and children’s museums in the Art Deco Union Terminal. Works spanning 6,000 years are on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
