For those who enjoy the water but prefer it at a fast pace, go to Surf Cincinnati Waterpark. Its a great place to get drenched.

Theres a great kids section and water park as well so all your adventure seekers will love what Kings Island has to offer.

A must see is the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Its a $110-million museum that describes 500 years of oppression. Its focus is on humanity's quest for freedom. The three pavilions provide interactive displays that include educational activities, films, and an old wooden slave pen that was recovered from nearby Kentucky.

Cincinnati is a thriving city that has maintained an easygoing pace. But dont let that fool you into thinking that there isnt much to see and do. A trip here is well worth it and you may even enjoy this pace enough to take some back home with you.
