"This is an invaluable collection of experiences; open the book, pick an adventure and go. The best advice comes from veteran family travelers and these adventures are tried and true. Every page is a winner - my only suggestions are to pack it all in and bring your camera." -Ed McMasters, Marketing Manager and father of two, Cincinnati USA Regional Tourism Network, CincinnatiUSA.com
"Love the firsthand accounts of favorite family adventures around Cincinnati. This book provides a thorough review, from a mom's perspective, of the region's well-known places as well as its hidden gems." -Karen Gutierrez, Former Managing Editor, CincyMomsLikeMe.com
Used this as a guide for our very simple, close to home vacation this year and loved it! I will probably buy it as a gift for moms I know in Cincinnati and maybe even for myself. We need one like this for Columbus! The few things they mention for central Ohio are OK for daytrippers, but not enough for locals.
This book is a great resource for Cincinnati parents. As summer comes, I was looking for help planning day trips in the area. This book has a comprehensive listing of attractions in Cincinnati and its surrounding cities/areas. The authors also let you know the cost of things, and if attractions are stroller/wheelchair friendly.
This is a great resource if you are looking for inexpensive things to do with the family. Many of the things listed are also a little more unique than what you may find in your normal tour book. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to explore the greater Cincinnati area with their family.
