MARBLELIFE® of Cincinnati  

Named in honor of Cincinnati’s first African American mayor, the Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park acts as a permanent outdoor tribute of the city’s dedication to world unity and global understanding. Designed to resemble a friendship bracelet, this sumptuous park features intertwining walkways, gardens bursting with flowers and several sculptures dotting the landscape.

Cross the state lines for a short trip to the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky. Immerse yourself in the aquatic realm when you explore the 14 individually themed galleries and attractions. Walk through five seamless acrylic tunnels that make you feel like you are swimming with the fishes; see dozens of endangered species; watch the penguins on parade; and much, much more!

Take a break at the Essencha Tea House and escape from your busy life. This tranquil little teahouse serves delightful brews from all over the globe in its charming rooms. The sleek and elegant décor sets a nice background for you (and a group) to experiment and create your own tea drinking rituals.

See the way Cincy Shakes It when you watch one of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s performances. If you want to see a traditionally performed and thoughtfully crafted theatrical piece, look no further. Contrary to the name, this theater troupe produces all manner of classical plays, from Jane Austen adaptations to works by the Great Bard himself.
