Another major player in Cincy’s cultural scene is the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, or CSO. The fifth oldest orchestra in the US, the CSO is well known throughout the world for its recordings and tours. For over 200 years, the CSO has brought evolutionary music to Ohio and continues to do so with its year-round performances. Hear them play in the historic Music Hall!
About half an hour away from the heart of Cincinnati, Trammel Fossil Park in Sharonville is a wonderfully underappreciated family attraction. At the far end of an industrial park road, this hidden treasure offers tons of family fun for those budding paleontologists or anyone with an interest in natural history. The Fossil Hunt allows visitors to explore the plethora of fossils hands-on.
Located in beautiful Eden Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum cultivates even more beauty inside. This huge art museum ranks alongside the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art in New York as one of the best museums of its type in the country. See the unparalleled permanent art collection as you stroll through the galleries, and be sure to stop by the traveling exhibits.
