Unique Adventures
Sightseeing
The Stanley Rowe Arboretum is free and meticulously maintained. From the impressive gated entrance to the well-maintained trails. The gardens appear to hop out of a magazine with gravel pathways, shady trees, and beautiful blooms for visitors. The Arboretum is fenced with the pathways circling and cutting throughout. In addition, the Arboretum is not usually crowded as it is off the beaten path.
4600 Muchmore Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45243

A truly unique thing to do in Cincinnati is going to Jungle Jim’s. This is unlike any grocery you have ever been in or will be in again.
You will find more bizarre and outlandish food, drink, and decor than you could have thought possible.
Be sure to check out their award-winning restrooms (for real…check them out) and get some free samples. From the moment you step foot into the jungle you start filling your cart with stuff you never knew you needed!
Chocolate from Switzerland, of course! Jam from England, well naturally. Before you know it you have a cart full of exotic food and big plans to learn how to cook all these international dishes. It might be the fact you can have a drink while you shop that gives you beer goggles for food and high ambitions.
Jungle Jim’s hosts a variety of foodie events every month. Be sure to check out their website for upcoming beer and wine tasting, food festivals, and cooking classes. If you want the full Jungle Jim experience go on a tour or a scavenger hunt to see all that the store has to offer.
They do have an events calendar you should consider something new on your travels. https://junglejims.com/calendar/

This is the original location of Jungle Jim's. If you have time for a longer drive this is an option. The Eastgate location is 20 minutes closer. Both are good but the original location is the original location.
PRO TIP: Combine this adventure with the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park as they are near each other.

Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park can be found in Hamilton, Ohio. Roughly 30-45 minute drive. With over 300 acres and over 60 sculptures, this park is an art lover’s dream.
The park is also home to an ancient sculpture museum that features sculptures dating from 1550 B.C. There are tons of hiking trails, picnic areas, and lakes. My advice would be to bring a picnic and plan to make a day trip out of your visit.
You can rent golf carts to get you around the park, but we opted to hike it. The park offers tons of special events and programs so be sure to check the calendar and schedule your visit. This is one unique thing to do in Cincinnati that you don’t want to miss.
During your visit to Pyramid Hill, explore Downtown Hamilton for charming boutique shops.

Cincinnati is home to a pretty phenomenal art museum. Being one of the oldest art institutions in the United States it is fair to say that they have acquired a pretty extensive collection of art.
Few folks realize that the museum does house works of art from Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Claude Monet to name a few. Admission to the museum is free, but there may be a charge for special exhibits.
The Art Museum offers tons of programs to engage visitors with opportunities to explore art spanning the globe. One of my favorite programs is Art after Dark which is on the last Friday of the month. It is when the museum opens up to adults only and has a cash bar, live music, and showcases a special exhibit or theme.
Once again admission is free and it is a great way to meet locals and see the art museum.
Read more about Art After Dark. Even if you can’t make it to a program I highly recommend all visitors add this to their itinerary of unique things to do in Cincinnati.

This is a local gem. People come from all around to visit and it's a short drive from Milford. It's $10 admission fee is well worth it.
Among numerous trails from easy to hard, check out the 4 mile, loop trail among others. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 51 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking, walking, and other nature trips, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round, but the best times to visit are April through November. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

If you are headed to Cincinnati, take route 50 across the bridge and you'll run into Mariemont. Park the car, hit the sidewalk, and visit the many shops they offer. PRO TIP: There is a Graeters Ice Cream Shop in the main square - fabulous.
