Our Top 10 Favorite Free Cincinnati Fun Activities:
1. Summit Park Nature Playscape
Summit Park’s Nature Playscape is expansive and features natural materials such as water, sand, mud, sticks and timber. Over the last few months, my kids and I have watched as log forts, ropes courses, two zip lines and kid-sized creek have come together into something truly magical.

5. Blue Ash Nature Park and Playground
Calling it a nature “park” is a misnomer; there are actually several different playgrounds there. Each is connected to the main trail, and you can easily spend an entire afternoon visiting the different playgrounds

Mt. Airy Treehouse is as charming, unique and accessible as the Queen City herself, and is worth a visit with your family.
