THINGS TO DO IN CINCINNATI -- RIDE THE DUCKS TOUR

If you're looking for a fun way to get a little history of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky while seeing some of the better known sights, check out the Ride the Ducks Tour in Newport, Kentucky.  This amphibious vehicle takes you from Newport, across the river into Cincinnati, and then into the Ohio River, which of course is the coolest part.  Once back on shore, the tour continues into downtown Cincinnati, then back into Northern Kentucky.

You can read about my family's tour experience here.  Further information about the tour, times, and ticket prices can be found at the Ride the Ducks - Newport site here.

Ride the Ducks kiosk with Newport Aquarium in back

Newport, Kentucky is just across the river from downtown Cincinnati.  Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time or at the Ride the Ducks kiosk outside the Newport Aquarium at Newport on the Levee.  You can park in the Newport on the Levee parking garage and then take an elevator to street level.  The tour boards at the meeting place near Toro Bar and Grill.  Look for the Ride the Duck umbrellas and sign.
