Spring into Smiles: 5 Fun Things to Do in Cincinnati This Spring
Rediscover the City’s Beauty
It’s officially springtime here in the Queen City, and everyone is ready to get out and enjoy the fresh air, beautiful parks, and incomparable community events. There’s no better time (or place!) to get outside and soak in the sun! You could see a ball game, go on a hike, or explore one of the local markets. There’s never a shortage of things to do in Cincinnati.
As the flowers bloom and the trees grow their beautiful leaves, it’s also a great time to refresh your smile with a spring dental cleaning at CinciSmiles. And before or after your appointment, you can take advantage of the beauty of our city, whether you’ve been in the area your entire life or are new to town. Here are 5 ways to celebrate the city—and take care of your smile along the way.
1. Stroll Through Smale Riverfront Park
One of the best things to do in the springtime is go outside and soak in the fresh air, and Smale Riverfront Park is arguably one of the best places to do that in Cincinnati. Known as one of downtown’s most scenic spots, this gorgeous riverside park is full of things to do. Set those kids free on the playgrounds or enjoy a relaxing walk on one of the many riverside trails. If you have fur babies, you can bring them along too!
Smale Riverfront Park also has several gardens, so be sure to check them out as flowers begin to bloom! Starting May 1, they also have multiple spray parks for your kiddos to enjoy (let’s face it, us adults might have a blast running through the water as well)!
2. Shop Local at Findlay Market
One thing is for sure: the Findlay Market comes alive in the springtime! Cincinnati’s favorite historic market is the best place to grab fresh, local produce, eat delicious foods, and support the constantly changing vendors. Constructed in the 19th century, the area is only a few blocks from the heart of downtown and is filled with a rich history that is sure to leave you in awe. It boasts over 50 regular vendors, with a new one spotlighted every Friday. You may even be able to snag some free samples or watch cooking tutorials!
Be sure to check the market’s website regularly, as their events and vendors are constantly changing. One weekend, they might have new bands performing, and the next they might have an art show. Each time you visit, you are bound to find something new!
3. Check Out a Spring Festival or Reds Game
From the Cincinnati Flower Show to opening day at Great American Ball Park, there are spring events happening everywhere. This great city is packed with experiences that are just begging you to come join. Check your local Facebook groups, the city’s official website, or throw out a quick Google search to see what’s new! You might just find a new band performing or discover delicious eats at a food truck rally. Whatever you do, be sure to get out there and explore all our great town has to offer.
4. Hike and Unplug at Mt. Airy Forest
There’s nothing quite like the mental boost a quiet nature escape can provide. If you are in need of some TLC, take the drive up to Mt. Airy Forest! This beautiful park is filled with miles upon miles of trails for an evening stroll or a grueling hike, plenty of camping sites, and even a disc golf course. For your furry friends, there’s a dog park available for them to get out all of their zoomies! So get out of the house and get a breath of fresh air while walking off that Skyline chili.
5. Plan a Spring Smile Refresh at CinciSmiles

Scheduling your springtime refresh at CinciSmiles is a great way to kick off the season with confidence and a sparkle.
