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.
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.
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.
