The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden may be one of the oldest zoos in America, but it still has its wild side! This National Historic Landmark attraction covers a little over 65 acres and is packed with packs of exotic and native animals. See the original Reptile House from 1875 or make time for a special Animal Encounter.
Come spend some time at the beautiful Fountain Square, a park with a rich Cincinnati heritage. Since 1871, this fountain square has played a key role in the center of the city’s civic, social and commercial life. Discover the gorgeous Tyler Davidson Fountain in the middle, surrounded by trees, a pavilion and music stage, a tranquil water wall and a seasonal ice rink.
Beginning with the Cincy Haus, the Queen City Underground Tours take you through the city’s largest and most popular collection of historical landmarks. Visit buildings that were once home to over 130 saloons, bars, beer gardens and theaters in the Gateway District. Wear your walking shoes and get ready to head into the city’s tunnels below to discover its hidden depths.
