My family spent almost a decade in the suburb of Cincinnati. Those were the fun years seeing our son growing up from a toddler to a middle schooler, thus making it the most exciting time of our life as a family. I have explored Cincinnati more from a child’s perspective than as a grownup and still enjoyed every bit of it. The city has a lot to offer, all level of activities, big and small.
Kings Island
Ice Skating Rink, Kings Island
The amusement park for all areas, Kings Island does not disappoint anyone. We used to visit kings Island since he was 3 years old, and he still loves it as a teenager. They also have a water park which is a visit to look forward to during summer. Fall is a great time to visit for their Halloween event. In early winter kings island hosts winter fest which is beautifully themed. Overall it is a great place to enjoy all year round with the whole family.
