Cincinnati is a terrific city to visit and there is lots to do.  Here are some tips on things to see and do.   Bringing a sibling or spouse who is looking for some non-feis activities?  We've got you covered! 

You can find basic information on how to get to the feis, where to park, and where to eat on other pages on our site.

If you feel like getting over to any of the Kentucky activities, look for the Southbank Shuttle , a $1 bus that will get you over the river.
