The largest park in Cincy, Mount Airy Forest offers visitors an impressive 1,471 acres of natural and planned landscapes to explore at their leisure. Walk through miles of scenic hiking and recreational trails or even bring out a horse for the bridle trails off Diehl Road. Sneak in a bit more walking when you wander through the giant public treehouse.

Although the Taft Museum of Art is housed in the Taft’s former villa, this house museum contains an extensive collection of paintings, porcelains, sculptures, decorative arts, furniture and much more in its spacious rooms. This expansive display includes old master paintings from Europe and America by artists like Dominique Ingres, Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn and others.

Blast off your weekend with a trip to The Comet. One of Cincinnati’s most popular nightlife options, this laid-back dive bar offers a killer combination of drinks, food and music. Choose from over 200 beers or have one specially mixed from the full bar. Munch on some of the most delicious San Francisco-style burritos outside of San Fran. You can even catch a live concert or hit up the jukebox for your favorite tunes.
