Recreation / Relaxation
Of course your first concern while in Cincinnati is the welfare of your child. There are times, however, when you may need to take a break by going to a restaurant, a movie or a concert, touring parts of Cincinnati, or working out.
Guest Services can help families plan activities and take advantage of discounts offered to families by local businesses and organizations. Please contact a Guest Services representative for information about specific activities available.
