I’ve loved the Hamilton County Park system for years. They are beautifully maintained, have wonderful amenities & programs and have so much to offer for families. Best of all, you can enjoy any of the Hamilton County Parks throughout the year for free. You just need to purchase an annual parking pass (only $5 for… [read more]
Plan a trip to the Holiday Auto Theater
For over sixty years, the Holiday Auto Theater in Hamilton, Ohio (are they still using the exclamation point?) has been providing family movie fun and packing them in.

Take a walk on the wild side with The Cincinnati Zoo’s WILD PACKS

The great thing about the family membership is you can pop in there, check on your favorite animals and bug out whenever. It is definitely our top pick for… [read more]
Touring a Landfill…. Rumpke Makes It Fun & Educational!
FFC friends, did you know that you can take a tour of Mt. Rumpke (a.k.a. Rumpke Sanitary Landfill)? I didn’t know you could take a tour until a troop leader from the Cosmos Girl Scouts of Western Ohio coordinated a day of tours for some local Mason Girl Scout troops. The tour will really make… [read more]
