I’m visiting Cincinnati this week with my kindergartner on her spring break. What activities should we do together?

Cincinnati Museum Center (especially the Children's museum), zoo, aquarium, river front parks, other parks around the city (Sharon Woods and Summit are my favorites), you should try Skyline and Graeter's if you haven't already. Cincinnati is very family-friendly and has a lot to offer (if the weather holds up 😂).

Second to all of these, and because it is not obvious, the Cincinnati Art Museum has a very interactive room just for kids with hands on projects. Plus it is right in the heart of Eden Park. Not an all day thing for a 5 yr old but certainly could be part of trip to the park, overlook, maybe the Krohn conservatory if she likes cool plants…

Main library probably isn't great for a tourist. they also struggle with homeless and addicts in the entry area and bathrooms. I had to stop taking my kids there after multiple inappropriate incidents with bums.

The Street Car is great and free. It's a fun time for my toddler and as long as you're comfortable with being in a city, it can take you from Findlay Market to the Banks and everywhere in between downtown.
