Lots of things I wanted to buy and unique things for gifts too. Recommend a stop here if you're in Cincinnati!

You can spend all day here and not feel like you are seeing everything. Admission is fairly cheap and the collections are interactive, modern and worth every penny. For families needing assistance with children there is so much for them to explore. For those who need mobility assistance, they do have different types of mobility devices able at first come first serve. There are places to eat and have a sensory break if needed. Besides the extremely interactive children's museum, we loved how innovative the transportation museum is. This location being an old train station, made the experience even more interesting. They do rotate some items, but most are here to stay for your next visit.

It was a refreshing spring day, and the flowers were perfectly in bloom during our visit. The conservatory features multiple rooms with impressive plant species, including a room with orchids and a seasonal butterfly display that you could tell they were building up excitement for the following weekend. I was sad that we missed it just by a few days. If you're visiting, I encourage you to save time to walk around the remainder of the park outside of the conservatory. Overall, it's a peaceful and budget friendly activity to pass an hour or so.

I had a relaxing stroll at the Krohn Conservatory. I say budget about 45-min or a bit more if you…read morewant to explore Eden Park. I explored just the conservatory and the perimeter. It's too bad the butterfly exhibit is over as it seems like a big hit. When I was there it was for the Fall Exhibit "Living Museum of Botanical Splendor". It's really not much but red signage on the ground in one section with little facts of some historical botanical artists. I think for $12 admission is a bit much, more so closer to a $10 experience without the special popular exhibits (which I see they had before the price increase). I might be a bit picky given I've been to other conservatories around the world, my fav being in Okinawa but it's not a fair comparison to North American conservatories. However, it's still a good time, my favourite room is the one with the waterfall. It's architecturally beautiful and with how all the plants are displayed. While something like this back in my city, Toronto, would be free (Allen Gardens), though Toronto's is smaller at the moment. I say this conservatory is still better with the design of this waterfall area but it's not as central as Toronto and requires a drive over from Downtown. There is a spacious parking lot which is a plus. I was kind of bummed the plant shop didn't have much cute items for sale, which is a missed opportunity. They do have like one pot design (with drainage) and they sold 4 inch pots of a common burgundy rubber tree that you can find in big box stores and other knick knacks. The stuff feels a bit uninspiring (like they have a poster (I think) of the feature exhibit "Living Museum of Botanical Spendor", I may be wrong but I just can't see any visitor wanting to buy a poster of that to hang or display that at home and I buy a lot of plant accessories to hang around my office. As a plant collector myself it's nice to see some of the varieties I grow at home thrive and grown massively like the big White Ghost Euphorbia and also to discover some new-to-me plants. The bonsai section was cool, some of the trees have been training since the 1980's! Something that could be passed down through generations.

Once a month, folks gather at the biergarten for local beer, music, games, and food. It's a little hard to find since it's at the confluence of several alleys off of Gilbert in Walnut Hills, but if you go to the website you can easily find a map. The "five points" has been cleaned up (no litter or debris!), and has some awnings, a little stage, and serving stands for local draft beer. In the parking lot next door there's usually a food truck. The Biergarten is very family-friendly -- lots of folks bring their little ones to run around. In addition, there is always a place you can securely store your bike, thanks to the good people at Queen City Bike. If you live in Walnut Hills - or anywhere else! - it's a great way to meet some really cool people and spend a Sunday afternoon.

Admissions is $5 per person. It is free for children five and younger. There is a free and small parking lot. For approximately 45 minutes, we learned about the history of the castle and how a man persistently and willingly built everything by hand. The stairs are narrow and steep. Each room is uniquely designed. There is an impressive medieval collection of swords, shields, weapons, and armors. Furthermore, there are several picture-worthy spots such as the front of the castle, flower garden, and the room with the swords.
