Entertainment & Activities

The Cincinnati Zoo is one of the best zoos in the country, if not world seriously, I've been to many around the world & the Cincy zoo is right up there)! Baby Fiona is the latest star. It's the second-oldest zoo in the United States, opening in 1875, just 14 months after the Philadelphia Zoo. They are known for their breeding programs: South African cheetahs, Sumatran rhinoceros, Malayan tigers, western lowland gorillas, white Bengal tigers, and Masai giraffes. The zoo was the first to successfully breed California sea lions.

Newport Aquarium and Newport on the Levee is a great destination for young and old a like. Rainy days, sunny days, and every day in between, who doesn't like petting sharks, staring at fish and wishing they were a mermaid? There are great views of downtown Cincinnati, restaurants, a movie theater and the Duck Boat tour; it is actually really fun!!

The Cincinnati Museum Center is located at the old Union Terminal (the old train station). You go back in time when you enter the doors and imagine the heyday of train travel between cities. Also, some of the most amazing tile mosaic art work can be found as soon as you walk through the art deco doors. There is also a fun trick the kids love to play - because of the architecture....there are two water fountains at either end of the huge arch entry way, you can play a game of telephone and talk to each other despite being on opposite ends of the great entryway.
