Jungle Jim's International Market

Reviewed By eatshoptravel

Jungle Jim's International Market is Fairfield's claim to fame and most popular tourist attraction, and has been featured on TV. It all began in 1971 with a small road-side produce stand. In 1974 "Jungle" Jim Bonaminio purchased the current property and has kept growing and adding on since. The international part comes from stocking food and drink from around the world. Different ethnicities have long frequented Jungle Jim's because they could get foods and ingredients from their, or their ancestor's, country of origin. The international market is laid out by country; Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Thailand, China, Mexico, etc. There is a seafood department, a soda department with flavors both usual and unusual, a meat department (alligator and ostrich are available), a cheese department with brands from across the US and world, a deli with an olive bar, sushi, large selections of hot sauce and honey, a bakery, a variety of adult beverages, including a beer cave, a cigar bar, regular groceries, a large singing Elvis bear in the candy department, and of course, produce. Their restrooms are award-winning. In the spring, flowers and plants are sold. Prior to COVID-19, there were cooking classes, tours and a small theater in which to watch a movie about the Jungle Jim's story, but I don't know how those have been affected by the pandemic. Part of Jungle Jim's expansion was to add an events center, as well as other businesses on the property. A second location was opened in the Eastgate section of greater Cincinnati in 2012.

Ohio Valley Antique Mall

Reviewed By RonaldR868 - Blanchester, United States

A really nice and large antique mall with friendly people and plenty to see. Coming in to the left are dozens of showcases and then row after row of hidden treasures. Plenty of parking and easy exit to highway. This is one of the better ones across the country.

Liberty Center

Reviewed By EmilyL_12writes - Liberty Township, United States

I live very close to this mall so it is amazing to be able to go anytime! There are a lot of different stores here so you can get many things like a gift, a wedding ring, some new clothes, or even just something to treat yourself. There are apartments, a grater's, a movie theater, and even a garden. I have spent hours there and loved it!! I don't see a reason not to go.

Municipal Brew Works

Reviewed By KevanBlank - Cincinnati, United States

Awesome place to grab a beer on a warm summer night. It is right on the water and located conveniently close to everything in downtown Hamilton including the music venue Rivers Edge that has shows every Thursday in the summer. Good place to stop before walking over to see a concert.
