The Mason Historical Society

The Mason Historical Society

The Mason Historical Society is housed in a charming Victorian house that takes you straight back to the 1890s. Inside, you'll find period furniture and artifacts that showcase the town's history, all thanks to a local antique dealer who helped preserve these treasures. It’s a small but fascinating stop for anyone curious about Mason’s past.

Kings Island

Kings Island

Kings Island is the kind of place where you show up thinking you’ll spend a few hours and somehow end up staying all day. The coasters are the real stars—The Beast is a classic, Orion is pure speed, and Mystic Timbers keeps you guessing. But even if you’re not into big drops, there’s plenty to do, from kid-friendly rides to water slides at Soak City. Plus, seasonal events like Halloween Haunt and WinterFest keep things interesting year-round.

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Perfect for families, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a fun day out, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is packed with incredible animals, from cheetahs to manatees, plus lush gardens to wander through. Check out exhibits like Cat Canyon, Night Hunters, and Africa, or catch a show at the 4D Special-FX Theater.

Loveland Castle Museum

Loveland Castle Museum

Loveland Castle, also known as Château Laroche, is a full-scale medieval-style castle built single-handedly by Harry D. Andrews, a World War I veteran, starting in the 1920s. Constructed using stones from the Little Miami River and bricks molded from quart milk cartons, Andrews dedicated over 50 years to this labor of love. When you visit, you can wander through the castle’s towers and narrow halls, check out some old-school medieval weapons, and just soak in the quirky, one-of-a-kind vibe. It's a fun and odd little stop with beautiful gardens and a peaceful riverside spot to hang out afterward.
