Get to Know the Area

“The Lighthouse of the Sky” is the jewel of Hyde Park, moving here from Mt. Adams in 1873. Known as the birthplace of American astronomy for good reason, the Cincinnati Observatory is the first public observatory in the U.S. and has one of the country’s oldest working telescopes, dating from 1842. The elegant Greek Revival building was designed by Cincinnati Music Hall architect Samuel Hannaford. Fun fact: the Observatory’s original turret rotated on cannonballs! The iconic dome added in 1895 was surely a structural upgrade, but might be missing a little cool factor. Visit most weekday afternoons or weekend evenings, but call or consult the website for hours and specifics.

Where Historic Meets Hip 20 Photos

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is our nation’s second oldest zoo, opening its gates to the public in 1875. Now recognized as one of best in the country, this zoo offers visitors the opportunity to meet and learn about animals from around the globe, including the frequently overlooked insect world. To make the most of a visit, arrive early to avoid crowds and consult the website (or visit the welcome center) to plan your route around such scheduled animal events as feedings, baths and chats. Book an encounter, or plan an overnight stay for a real behind-the-scenes experience. There’s nothing like waking up to the roar of a lion.

Around the Area 22 Photos

Carew Tower is a great example of the Art Deco–style architecture around Cincinnati but one of its best features can’t be seen from the street or the lobby. Head up 49 floors to the observation deck for magnificent views of the city. $4 for adults, less for children. After you descend, head a block over to the central Fountain Square. Many days of the week it hosts midday food fares. Overseeing citizens and revelers is the beautiful and imposing Tyler Davidson Fountain by sculptor August von Kreling. The bottom four figures are actually drinking fountains!

Producing 147 murals over 10 years, the community art nonprofit ArtWorks took a mural challenge by the former city mayor and ran with it. The Queen City’s gown is officially bejeweled, and the gems run the gamut: local legends and popular icons, historic events and nods to philanthropy, regional business and industry—and a little general whimsy thrown in for good measure. There are 54 murals downtown alone, but these artists are crankin’ so by publication, there may be a few more. Download a free map off the website (http://www.artworkscincinnati.org/public-art/murals/) and find your favorites on a walking tour. With the scale of this artwork, they’re hard to miss.
