We were so happy to discover this superb collection in such a bucolic setting. The Art Cart was a fantastic way to truly enjoy the pieces from all angles, all distances. The Ancient sculptures museum was most unexpected. This collection is like going to a big city museum. We are so thrilled to have had this pleasant experience

3. Municipal Brew Works

Reviewed By tlynn63 - Cincinnati, Ohio
The Municipal Brew Works has a great location right by the river and across from the Marriot Courtyard. It is located in an old Deco style building where a former fire station once was housed. Large gargage doors open up onto a nice sized patio with benches and tables. I saw one corn hole game and shelving holding board games for those interested. On this warm summer's evening it seemed to be the perfect place to be. There was a sign listing the food truck that would be visiting each day of the week but on a Sat. around 9:45 there was not one there so they must have limited hours. There is inside seating also.

Huge, huge place, extended since our last visit. Wide range of goodies, not all antiques per se but lots of desirable stuff. You need to know your prices though! A great experience and a good way to spend a few hours. Recommend you plan for 2hrs minimum!
5. Hanover Winery

Reviewed By theelfherself - Hamilton, ohio
Received personal attention from vintner/owner & son, enjoyed sampling different wines, and received an etched Hanover Winery wine glass to keep. Very pleasant intimate country environment with indoor and outdoor seating. They often have music outdoors, which is delightful. But if you are expecting exceptional wine, you will be disappointed. Otherwise it's a lovely place to go on a date or with adult friends/family over 21.
6. Wake Nation
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
Wake Nation is a new type of water park (one of only a handful in the entire U.S.) that lets you wakeboard, water ski, and kneeboard WITHOUT the use of a boat. The entire park is designed to provide the ultimate ride experience to both first timers and experienced riders. It’s great for anyone age 5 or older. Just bring your bathing suit as they’ve got everything else you need. The Wake Nation season runs from May through October.

We wanted to visit the aquaglide lake with our children. A couple days before we visited we looked online at the August hours and saw that they opened at 11:00. Because we had 5 children we didn't arrive until 11:45, but they weren't open. We went to the door and the sign said they opened at 11:00. We went back online and the opening time had been switched to 12:00. At about 12:00 someone came to the door and told us they opened at 1:00 PM. We showed him the sign he was standing next to that said the opening time was 11:00 and he said he would talk to the management. At about 12:10 he let us in and we were able to use the aquaglide facility. The guys working there were all nice and helpful. The kids had a great time. I would totally recommend this as a couple fun hours for kids and bigger kids. If you are planning on getting there when it opens I would call first to make sure they know when it's opening.

After living in Hamilton for 3 years we finally got around to visiting this library. What a joy. Just seeing the architecture design of this refurbished historic home made us smile. The landscaping is beautiful and organization inside is lively. Staff was very helpful and very accommodating. Going to the library is not what it used to be when I was a kid. It was very enjoyable to spend time perusing the shelves of this beautiful place.

I recently attended a flute master class with a music professor from CCM who didn't know the Fitton Center existed. This gem needs to be marketed and more music or art programs need to be held.
10. Holiday Auto Theatre

Reviewed By Travelone_intl - Cincinnati, Ohio
First time ever attending any type of outside movie house under the stars. This is a great place to bring the kids and the family pet on a leash. Great parking, Awesome Popcorn, great staff and really a bargain when you factor in location, staff and food. I give this place 4 stars of excellence. My kids really enjoyed see spider man and were asleep for the double feature. You can even bring in your own food with the purchase of a food permit for $5.00. The theatre has clean restrooms and their staff is always aiming to please. If your in the mood for something different, exciting and adventurous - Visit Holiday Auto Theatre. All Pros except for their pricing - a little high at $8.50 pp and but they need to lower their price or maybe consider a family coupon in the local newspaper or the entertainment book to make it more reasonable for their patrons with family's like ours...
