The fourth largest park in Cincinnati, Ault Park transforms during the summer into a colorful outdoor wonderland. The beautiful Summer Dance Series gardens bring a splash of bright flowers not seen in any other park. Enjoy this floral explosion as you walk along the paths, or join in on one of the many festivities in the large pavilion.

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!

Rest and relax at the Weller Haus Bed and Breakfast, one of the finest quaint B&Bs in Cincinnati. Stay in one of the five unique rooms at this tranquil, amorous oasis. Roam through the gorgeous gardens and take advantage of the Ohio River’s proximity by going on a romantic boat ride. Perfect for a date night, couple’s retreat, or an intimate celebration.

Head to the great outdoors for the chance to catch your favorite popular artists performing live. The Riverbend Music Center hosts several concerts in their large outdoor pavilion. With seating for over 20,000 people readily available, it is no wonder that Riverbend has become Cincy’s go-to music festival amphitheater and entertainment venue.
