With 2 InTown Suites locations to choose from (one in Cincinnati and one in the nearby Fairfield) you’ll have no problem finding affordable accommodations. Read on to discover the top things you can see and do in Cincinnati for free (or, almost free!).
Take a Walk Over the Purple People Bridge.
Get out of your suite and stretch your legs with a walk over the beautiful Ohio River. The Purple People Bridge is an 1886 former railroad bridge, carefully restored into a pedestrian-only route connecting two states – the longest bridge of its kind in the country. Be sure to pack the camera with you – the views from the bridge are absolutely stunning.
Marvel at Eden Park’s Stunning Views.
Home to many well known attractions (the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Krohn Conservatory, and more), Eden Park is one of the most sought-after parks in Cincinnati. Cost-free, enjoy stunning views, the Hinkle Magnolia Garden (including a picturesque gazebo, memorial tree groves and paths), Mirror Lake, and the famous Bettman Fountain. Pack a picnic and head out for a beautiful day in Eden Park; be sure to check out the Krohn Conservatory while you’re there!
Admire Beautiful Artwork at the Taft Museum.
Located in downtown Cincinnati, the Taft Museum of Art offers free admission on Wednesdays your enjoyment. Housed in a Greek Revival mansion, the building itself is worthy of a visit. Here you’ll enjoy thousands of important works, including those by Ingres, Gainsborough, Rembrandt, and Whistler. Taft is also well known for its collection of Limoges enamels, 19th century American paintings, and European decorative arts.
Come Face to Face with Animals at the Cincinnati Zoo.
The second oldest zoo in the United States, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is home to many fascinating breeding programs for cheetahs, Malayan tigers, Masai giraffes, and more. Although not free of charge, buying your tickets online will save a couple dollars ($16 per adult or $11 per child for general admission). Enjoy encounters with dozens of fascinating animals, from birds, to reptiles, mammals and more!
Browse Through the Findlay Market.
Founded in 1852, Findlay Market is Ohio’s oldest continuously running public market, making it the perfect place to peruse. Grab an open table and simply people watch, or enjoy shopping for delicious eats, artisan gifts, flowers, beer, wine, and much more!
Learn About Local History at the Spring Grove Cemetery.
Though a cemetery may not be the most typical attraction in a city, the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati is a must-see for new visitors. The second oldest planned cemetery in the United States, Spring Grove is a peaceful haven that offers 12 ponds, breathtaking Gothic monuments, as well as one of the best collections of flowering trees available here in the Midwest.
