A Baseball Tradition Like No Other

No city celebrates Opening Day like Cincinnati. As the only Major League team guaranteed a home game to begin the season, the Reds mark the occasion with a celebration unlike any other — and this package puts you right in the heart of it.

Opening Day Parade
As the only MLB team guaranteed to open the season at home, the Cincinnati Reds transform Opening Day into a full-blown city celebration. The day kicks off at Findlay Market, where the legendary Opening Day Parade begins its march through downtown Cincinnati. Afterwards, the energy spills south as thousands of fans make their way to The Banks — the vibrant riverside district packed with bars, food trucks, live music, and a sea of Redlegs pride.

Opening Day at Great American Ball Park
Once the Opening Day festivities are officially over, it's time to experience the atmosphere inside one of the most picturesque ballparks in the league as the Cincinnati Reds kick off their 2026 season. The energy is electric, with pre-game ceremonies, flypasts, and a full stadium of Reds fans welcoming baseball back to the Queen City. Plus, the Red Sox are in town to make the occasion even more epic!

Kids Opening Day
Later in the series, families can enjoy a separate, dedicated event: Kids Opening Day. This special day includes a children’s parade, opportunities for kids to meet players and mascots, autographs, giveaways, and more. The day concludes with the popular "Kids Run the Bases" — a highlight for young fans and their parents.

Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame & Museum
Just steps from the stadium, the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame & Museum offers a separate, must-visit experience. Discover the history of America’s first professional baseball franchise through interactive exhibits, historic memorabilia, and tributes to Reds legends like Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, and Joe Morgan. Whether you’re a casual fan or a baseball historian, the biggest baseball museum in the world is an essential part of the visit.

THINGS TO DO IN & AROUND CINCINNATI

Over-the-Rhine

Rich with history, packed with things to do, and bursting at the seams with culture, Over-The-Rhine (also known locally as OTR) is home to many of the best bars, restaurants, and shops in all of Cincinnati.

Washington Park, located in the heart of the neighbourhood, is one of the city’s premier public spaces that hosts events year-round. Findlay Market, located on the north end of OTR, is home to Ohio’s oldest farmers’ market. For those looking for something a little more classical, head to the Music Hall which is home to the Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and the Cincinnati Opera.

No visit to the city should happen without trying a 'Five-Way' (no, not that kind). Cincinnati is famous for it's chili which is poured over spaghetti and served with grated cheese, onions and beans.

Northern Kentucky

Just across the Ohio river from downtown Cincinnati, over the iconic Roebling Bridge, Northern Kentucky offers a whole different flavour — literally. From charming historic towns to bourbon-soaked adventures, it's an essential part of any Cincinnati visit.

Covington and Newport are the two standout riverfront towns, both connected to downtown by scenic bridges that are walkable from Great American Ball Park. Covington’s MainStrasse Village is a picturesque neighbourhood filled with cobbled streets, quirky shops, and independent bars and restaurants. Newport, meanwhile, is home to Newport on the Levee — a bustling complex of eateries, entertainment, and river views.

Just south of these towns, you’ll find the start of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, with distilleries like New Riff offering tours, tastings, and a proper introduction to the Bluegrass State’s most iconic spirit. Whether you’re into sipping bourbon or snapping skyline photos from the riverbanks, Northern Kentucky offers a laid-back, flavourful contrast to the buzz of downtown Cincinnati.

Fly-Drive Trips

Cincinnati’s central location makes it the ideal launchpad for a classic American road trip. From here, you’re perfectly placed to explore more of the Midwest or head south into the Deep South, with iconic cities and hidden gems within easy reach. For baseball fans looking to tick off more ballparks, both PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Busch Stadium in St. Louis are just a scenic drive away.

No road trip is complete without a detour to Louisville, Kentucky, home of the legendary Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. It’s a must-see for baseball lovers — especially the ‘Big Bat’, the world’s largest baseball bat. Standing 120 feet tall and weighing 68,000 pounds, this towering steel sculpture is an exact replica of Babe Ruth’s 34-inch Louisville Slugger.
