You’ll find thrills and fun just north of the city at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, home to one of only seven giga roller coasters in the world and a water park! To satisfy your need for speed indoors try Full Throttle Adrenaline Park in Florence, Kentucky. They offer VR adventures, Axe Throwing, Karting, and even a Rage Room. There's also Cincinnati Full Throttle.
Start off your day with a stop on the doughnut trail or brunching on the local favorite sausage and oat dish, goetta.
