The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is the second-oldest and ranked as the third best zoo in the nation. Stroll through the botanical gardens and catch Zoo Blooms this month (Zoo babies, next month!). Perhaps you’ll even get a chance to view Fiona, the new baby hippo that’s all the craze here in Cincinnati (seriously, follow her on Instagram – she may need to be the back-up mascot to our beloved Bearcat!).

At the heart of most metropolitan cities is a fountain, but are these fountains built on an old Indian mound?  And do they  pump five  hundred gallons of water every minute?  Well, probably the latter but definitely not the former.  Either way Cincinnati natives take advantage of  the beauty of Fountain Square and the fun activities that surround it each day.
