A gothic cathedral that has a design similar to Notre Dame in Paris.
Reviewed By kathleenl739 - Michigan City, United States
Everyone in America should experience this Basilica. This Cathedral is 1/6 the actual size of Notre Dame in Paris. So next time you are in this neck of the woods stop in and be in awe. You don't know what you are missing

Visited to see the grave of General Joseph Hooker. What a beautiful site! Very well maintained and tons of interesting monuments. Definitely going back in the spring when the weather is nice.

We recently moved to the area and had seen this beautiful church which reminded me of Notre Dame. We stopped on a Monday morning to walk through. While it isn't on the size scale of most Western European churches I've visited, it is equally impressive, especially the stained glass windows. We were surprised at what a phenomenally beautiful cathedral, which reminded us of Europe, could be found in Covington. It is indeed a treasure. The marble along with the intricate mosaics from Germany pair well with the Venetian glass and make this a must see if you are in Northern Kentucky.

Nestled between Paul Brown Stadium, where the Cincinnati Bengals play football, and the Great American Ball Park, where the Cincinnati Reds play baseball, is Smale Riverfront Park. Running parallel to the Ohio River, the 32 acres of immaculately-maintained green space includes: - a carousel, - pergola-covered, oversized swings that face the water, - a 1.75 acre tree grove and rose garden, - unique play areas with log climbers, a rope bridge, a flying pig, and a giant foot piano, - multiple fountains and other water features, and more It is a beautiful way to spend time along the Ohio River on a gorgeous day in Cincinnati!

An Easter weekend visit to Cincinnati was topped off with a trip to Ault Park. The sun was shinning and the weather was perfect for a visit to the park; obviously we were not the only one's who thought it was a perfect day to be out in nature for the park was covered with people, but the crowd did not detract from the charm and beauty of Ault Park. The park looked to be a great location to stroll through the cherry tree orchard, eat a picnic on the concert green, take a hike on one of the many trails, or view the surrounding area from the top of the pavilion.

The overlook is the best view in the tri state area. I could sit and look at Covington and Cincinnati's skylines for hours. There are many playgrounds for kids, a golf course, a museum, shelter houses, an event location, a historic bandshell, and so many green spaces with picnic tables and places to relax and hike.

This second oldest zoo in the U.S., considered one of the best in the country, is most renowned for its endangered species and birthing programs, particularly for gorillas and white tigers, and has a wonderful collection of felines and a delightful manatees exhibit.

I've been coming to this zoo for 30 years and I cannot express in words the memories that have been made here. I remember when Bruiser the walrus would spit water on me as a kid (excellent way to cool off on a summer's day). I got to stay overnight and do a guided night tour, traveled behind the scenes to see how they take care of animals, and have watched this place grow throughout the years. 'Africa' added lions and a large paddock for grazers in addition to a nice balcony with tables overlooking the whole area. Cooling stations run all day when it's hot, penguins roam the paths with keepers when it's cold, and I proposed to my wife at the Festival of Lights 'round Christmas. They also have animal encounters which, while a bit pricey, contribute to conservation efforts and offer once in a lifetime experiences like being face to face with an elephant. You can feed a giraffe if you like. They have learning stations everywhere, rotating educational encounters, and anyone in a zoo uniform will tell you a personal story about one or more of the animals. Finally, if you plan to go, I strongly advise a membership pass if only for the free parking. You get discounts on food and merch, as well; it pays for itself in two trips. Check the website out, too; they have some really cool events that go to help with conservation efforts and are a lot of fun to attend. Give it a shot and you might find you keep coming back for the rest of your life.

A small hill east of downtown Cincinnati that gives visitors a sweeping view of the city.
Reviewed By OccasionalTraveler69
Ate at Mt. Adams bar and grill - great neighborhood eatery. Ordered the black bean burger and Caesar salad with marinated chicken - both classics prepared with care. Sat in the back where the noise level is very low, casual seating, beautiful views, and excellent service. This is one of those comfort places where you feel like kicking off your shoes and lingering over a second cup of coffee or tea. Like home.
