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.
Although the Taft Museum of Art is housed in the Taft’s former villa, this house museum contains an extensive collection of paintings, porcelains, sculptures, decorative arts, furniture and much more in its spacious rooms. This expansive display includes old master paintings from Europe and America by artists like Dominique Ingres, Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn and others.
A true gem for book lovers everywhere, the Mercantile Library is one of the few membership-based libraries in the state. However, all are welcome to enter into this quietly charming, yet vast, library and nose through its selection. See everything from the latest bestsellers to tomes older than the Mercantile Building itself!
