What it's known for
The Reds descend from the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first openly all-professional team, and the city leans into that history. The Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is attached to the ballpark and is one of the best team museums in the sport.
Beyond the outfield, two riverboat-style smokestacks shoot fireworks and flames after Reds home runs and strikeouts. The river views from the upper levels look across to Kentucky.
Getting there
The park is at The Banks, the riverfront district at the southern edge of downtown Cincinnati, and it’s a walkable distance from downtown hotels. Fans coming from Northern Kentucky can walk across the Roebling Suspension Bridge.
Tips for your visit
- Save time for the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum.
- Opening Day is a near-holiday in Cincinnati, with a parade downtown. If you can get there for it, it’s a special day.
- The park plays small, so expect home runs, especially in summer.
