Professional
theater abounds in the Greater Cincinnati Area with
opportunities for Broadway roadshows, dinner theater and outdoor
productions. The historic Cincinnati Music Hall hosts the world
famous Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Opera and Ballet
companies, and the May Festival, the oldest continuing choral
music festival in the Western Hemisphere. Over 100 museums and
art galleries further enhance Greater Cincinnati's distinction
as a cultural center, including the Art Museum in Eden Park, the
Contemporary Arts Center, Taft Museum, Museum of Natural History
and Krohn Conservatory.
At Great American Ballpark sports enthusiasts can enjoy watching the
Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional team, and at Paul
Brown Stadium can watch the
Cincinnati Bengal's who emerged as the NFL's American Conference
Champion in 1988. Within walking distance of downtown
is US Bank Arena which hosts numerous sports and concert
events, the Bicentennial Commons includes ice skating and tennis
facilities, and Riverbend, summer home to the Symphony and many
other outdoor concerts.
Three local race tracks are available for those with a passion
for horseracing. Just a little further away are Kentucky's
beautiful horse farms, and Churchill Downs, home to the Kentucky
Derby. Or if you prefer viewing wild animals in a more natural
environment, visit the Cincinnati Zoo, one of the top ten zoos
in the U.S. and labeled as the "sexiest zoo in the nation" for
its record setting propagation of rare and endangered species.
For more thrills drive about thirty minutes north of Woodlawn
to Paramount Kings Island Amusement Park set in 1600 acres of
woodland, the Jack Nicholas
Sports Center, and the College Football Hall of Fame. Several
other water and amusement parks, all with a different twist, are
also located in Greater Cincinnati. Cross over the Ohio River,
into Kentucky and enjoy the Newport Aquarium!
