There's plenty of fun to be had in Cincinnati but if you're a fan of the old adage, "the grass is greener on the other side" then consider taking a trip over the Ohio River and exploring the attractions at Newport on the Levee. This exciting destination offers something for everyone whether you're looking for retail therapy, a great place to have dinner and drinks, family fun or a night on the town. We recommend you check out the underwater attractions at the Newport Aquarium, knock down some pins at Star Lanes on the Levee Bowling, or walk on water at Hamsters Water Balls.
