A few of my favorite things to do in Cincinnati include:
Cincinnati Aquarium
One of the most popular things to do in the city of Cincinnati is to visit the Cincinnati Aquarium which is located within minutes from downtown Cincinnati and exhibits thousands of animals from around the globe.
Cincinnati Art Museum
The Cincinnati Art Museum is another great attraction located in Eden Park and features an extensive collection of over sixty thousand pieces.
Underground Railroad Center
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, located on the Cincinnati riverfront, features educational exhibits and interactive programs where you can learn about past and present freedom movements.
MainStrasse Village
The MainStrasse Village, located across the river from downtown Cincinnati, is a great place to stroll around and explore this beautiful restored 19th century German neighborhood that includes charming shops and restaurants.
Another factor that makes Cincinnati such a popular destination to base a vacation in Ohio, it's that the Cincinnati is only a short drive from other interesting places to visit in Ohio such as Columbus and Dayton.
Also, if you'd like to explore the states of Kentucky or Indiana, Cincinnati is within driving range from Covington and Lexington in Kentucky, and Indianapolis in Indiana.
