Tune in to Concerts at Riverbend Music Center

If you've been a lifelong music fan, you'll love attending live music events at the Riverbend Music Center. It is a beautiful outdoor amphitheater built along the scenic banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati. Regardless of your seat location, you'll enjoy excellent acoustics and sound quality. It's the best place in Cincinnati to experience live music under the open sky in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, they feature a diverse range of artists across all genres. Whether you enjoy classic rock, country, or pop, there is sure to be an event for you coming up.

Immerse Yourself in the Sound of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

If the thought of a live music performance overjoys you, but you prefer a classical style over classic rock, immerse yourself in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at the Cincinnati Music Hall! Founded in 1895, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is the oldest in Ohio and the sixth-oldest symphony orchestra in America. It is a renowned and revered ensemble that features some of the world's best musicians and conductors, bringing them directly to your hometown. When you attend a performance, you will surely be inspired by the music and captivated by the architectural grandeur of the music hall.

Take a Walk at Eden Park

While living in Cincinnati offers plenty to do, sometimes our residents want to decompress and unwind in a safe place outdoors. Eden Park is a great place to do just that while quieting Cincinnati's urban hustle and bustle. The park is well-maintained and offers a variety of activities and sights to explore. Please don't take our word for it; experience a walk in Eden Park for yourself! It's located in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of the city. You'll have 186 acres to explore. At this park, our residents enjoy:

  • Hiking the trails that lead to overlooks of the Ohio River Valley.
  • Birdwatching at Mirror Lake.
  • Taking the grandkids to the playgrounds.
  • Picnicking in Hinkle Magnolia Garden.
  • Exploring the Krohn Conservatory.

Catch a Reds Game at the Great American Ball Park

Are you a big-time sports fan? If so, it's time to take yourself out to the ball game to experience the five-time World Series winners, the Cincinnati Reds! Attending a Reds game at the Great American Ball Park is not just about watching baseball—it's about celebrating community. For example, there is a beloved tradition of singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch. Furthermore, their Fireworks Fridays feature a spectacular fireworks display following the game. These games are truly a joyous and wonderful experience for sports fans of any age.

Experience the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center

For those interested in history and human rights, experiencing the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a must! This museum explores the history of slavery in America, the Underground Railroad, and contemporary issues of freedom and human rights. Their exhibits include interactive displays, multimedia presentations, and artifacts that bring history to life. Additionally, the Freedom Center offers educational programs, lectures, and special events discussing freedom, equality, and the ongoing struggle for human rights.
