Suggestions.

Today on the trustworthy Facebook, I asked my "friends" for suggestions of new and fun things to do with Liam.

One suggestion I kept seeing over and over was Totter Otterville. So my cousin's wife and her cutie pie daughter hopped in the car and met Liam and I in Covington. After a long car ride and 3 wrong turns we slowly approached the ...how do I say this nicely...not so good looking building. Still with are hopes up we opened the doors and....were greatly disappointed. The place looked like it could use a much needed power wash. The toys and play areas were old and unfortunately very dirty looking. After about a half an hour of wandering around we got on the trolley to be escorted around their side yard to see worn and broken porcelain animals. We left shortly after. Sadly,the best part was the lunch!

So.....here are a couple of places I know and love!

The  Cincinnati Zoo-Liam and I love the zoo and if you haven't been there you are missing out! From the carousel and petting zoo to the Tunes and Blooms on Thursday nights you are gauranteed to have a good time no matter what age!

The park- We love going to the park! Its free and mommy can normally get a quick walk in while we are there. There are many great parks that have yet to be discovered...I will let you in on one of my hidden secrets.

The Bi-centennial Park. This park is located on the west side of town on Diehl Rd. and it is fairly new. It has a 1/2 mile walking track and a great gated in play area with rubber flooring. The only down side is there are no swings ...but, who needs those when you have 6 slides!

The Cincinnati Childrens Museum- This is a great rainy day place to be! It has everything for every age! From a water table (Liam's favorite) to a cave to explore. Your child is gauranteed a long nap that afternoon.

I hope this is a help for anyone looking for things to do with a toddler in Cincinnati. Learn from my mistake and stick to your key places. Cincinnati has done a great job keeping them up!
