One of the first regional theaters in the United States, the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has brought Ohio some of the most prominent popular plays since 1959. Despite catering to a diverse audience, the Playhouse continues to produce entertainment of the highest caliber, both classical and cutting-edge works.

Kick back and relax in true style on a cruise down the Ohio River with BB Riverboats. Take in the sights and scenery while enjoying a pleasant mini-vacation. Choose from a one-hour sightseeing cruise, a leisurely dining cruise or one of the special holiday cruises—no matter which you go with, you’ll be sure to have a blast!

Blast off your weekend with a trip to The Comet. One of Cincinnati’s most popular nightlife options, this laid-back dive bar offers a killer combination of drinks, food and music. Choose from over 200 beers or have one specially mixed from the full bar. Munch on some of the most delicious San Francisco-style burritos outside of San Fran. You can even catch a live concert or hit up the jukebox for your favorite tunes.

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.
