- George HUnited States109 contributionsAbsolutely stunning basilica from an architectural perspective. Incredible stained glass windows ands tile mosaics.Written 15 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jurgen BBrussels, Belgium2,608 contributionswe liked walking the main street with the nice houses and cosy bars and restaurants but the empty streets around it didn't feel safe at nightWritten 5 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- chicago90Phoenixphoenix1,268 contributionsThese big bright murals are at the base of a floodwall as you cross the bridge. They showcase the history of Kentucky and is a dramatic improvement over a cement or even a graffiti covered wall.Written 20 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- fredinmnWoodbury, MN194 contributionsNice park overlooking downtown Cincinnati. Well taken care of and plenty of parking. Admission is free and it is worth the winding road drive up to the overlook.Written 10 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Laura A. HobsonCincinnati, OH29 contributionsTucked away in the hills of Covington is the Behringer-Crawford Museum. It is filled with local Kentucky history, e.g., artifacts, paintings, stuffed bear, antique car. Located near Devou Park, the museum offers something for every age. A great get-away during the weekend. I wrote about the museum for aeqai, an international online visual arts journal.Written 8 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tlynn336 contributionsSpent two hours with our kids and grandkids and had a lot of fun. It was very hot and there wasn't much shade on the lake but we saw lots of blue herons, turtles and ducks. The ramp makes it easy to get the boats in and out of the water and the lake is a great size for the younger kayakers. Close to our home so there's not a lot of time wasted in travel. Overall a nice trip!Written 18 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MayorMillerCincinnati, OH40 contributionsAttended a weeding at the Garden of Hope, Was surprised that such a place was even in Covington Ky. Lived here for 67 years and never knew it was around. I guess we all need to get out more and explore our own back yardWritten 7 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- jb s549 contributionsFantastic little park on the Ohio River. Less than a city block but chock full of history and statuary on park grounds and the nearby river walk. The views of the Cincinnati skyline are fabulous. Walking in and around the park is relaxing and historical if you choose that route. I found it very peaceful.Written 3 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DStin0731Henderson, KY100 contributionsAttended a conference here and observed that the staff in the food service area was very attentive. The rooms were also well appointed and the meeting spaces seemed to be well staffed.Written 8 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Gwen DCincinnati, OH1,996 contributionsPoked my head in just before a local choir was ready to start a concert. Gorgeous interior. Would love to come back and wander around inside.Written 20 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- khristi cNorthern Kentucky, KY83 contributionsThis is a nice park to go and walk around the creak and let the grandkids run and play. It is usually clean, with a nice mix of people. A lot of people walking their dogs, there is a dog park, but it has really gone down hill over the years.Written 30 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Boyce M12 contributionsSo much local art works here is unbelievable so much art work to take in and enjoy; So much more to take on but so little timeWritten 11 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- E_R_Perez27Cincinnati, OH69 contributionsNKY has dedicated about an acre at the foot of the Roebling Suspension Bridge to honor those fallen officers who gave all in service to their community. It is well maintained and a fitting tribute. A nice place to pay respects to the officers or relax and enjoy the sunshine on one of the many park benches.Written 4 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TWBCincinnati, OH2,220 contributionsIf you live or are visiting in the area swing in, otherwise, not much to see.
