Day Trips from Cincinnati: Getaways Less Than Two Hours Away

by David Hunter, Amy Weirick (Editor)

Enjoy a welcome change of pace and discover a world you may not know exists in your own backyard. Day Trips describes hundreds of fascinating, exciting (and many free of charge) things to do, most within a two-hour drive of Cincinnati. Compare cutting-edge aircraft with examples of humanity's first primitive efforts at flying at the U.S. Air Force Museum. Wander through acres of herbs and pick fresh berries at Robert Rothchild's Berry Farm. Marvel at the magnificent sandstone formation at Natural Bridge State Resort Park, an unspoiled wilderness area still so close to "civilization." Watch nearly life-sized, handcrafted marionettes perform in Nashville, Indiana. Each day trip includes travel directions, destination highlights, other places to visit along the way, choice restaurants and lodging (including price ranges), and shopping information. A useful directory at the end of the book lists restaurants by area, state parks and forests, and celebrations and festivals by month, providing you with many options for great trips in and around the Cincinnati area.
