You know it’s autumn when Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati rolls around. Mark the change of the seasons with some of the best German-style music, food and beer in the Midwest at this festival. The largest Oktoberfest in North America, Zinzinnati celebrates Cincy’s true party spirit with an abundance of fun for everyone—including the "World’s Largest Chicken Dance" in Fountain Square.
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.
Join the aptly named Scenic River Canoe Excursions for an unforgettable water recreation trip down the breathtaking Little Miami River. One of the best places to canoe or kayak in the Cincinnati area, this tranquil little river is a bit out of the way, so you won’t be fighting high-volumes of traffic and will have more time to concentrate on the beauty of the waterway.
