Not sure where to start? Here’s a sample 3-day itinerary to help you map out the fun.

Day 1: Explore the Ark

Morning to Afternoon
Kick off your epic adventure with one of the country’s most impressive attractions: the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY, just 25 minutes from Northern Kentucky RV Park. This life-size replica of Noah’s Ark features three decks of detailed exhibits, a petting zoo, family programs, and seasonal live events. It’s a must-see stop for travelers of all ages.

Pro Tip: Plan to spend at least half a day here. Arriving early helps you beat the crowds and gives you more time to explore the outdoor grounds or catch a presentation.

Lunch Option
Emzara’s Buffet is a two-story restaurant that sits just outside the Ark and offers a relaxing place to unwind, complete with scenic views. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal with family and refuel after a day of exploring.

Evening
After a day full of discovery, return to the peace and quiet of Northern Kentucky RV Park. Relax at your spacious full-hookup site, take advantage of the Wi-Fi and clean facilities, and let the kids stretch their legs in the open green spaces.

Day 2: Thrills, Pro Sports & Cincinnati Sights

Morning to Afternoon
Start your day with a short drive north to Kings Island, less than an hour from your home base at Northern Kentucky RV Park. This massive amusement park is packed with infamous roller coasters, family rides in Planet Snoopy, and the splash-worthy Soak City Water Park. It’s a full-day destination for families, couples, and adrenaline junkies alike.

Pro Tip: Buy tickets online to save money, and download the Kings Island app to mark your parking spot and check wait times. Families with little ones can take advantage of the Rider Swap program, and the one-day meal plan is a great way to stay fueled without breaking the bank. And whatever you do, don’t miss The Beast!

Prefer something more low-key?
If coasters aren’t your vibe, take a relaxed route into downtown Cincinnati, less than 45 minutes from the park. Visit the Cincinnati Zoo, stroll through Smale Riverfront Park, or check out the Newport Aquarium, just across the river in Northern Kentucky. Explore the interactive exhibits at the Cincinnati Museum Center, then head to Rookwood Commons & Pavilion for some open-air shopping, featuring popular retailers, boutiques, and dining options.

Evening
If you’re a sports fan, Cincinnati isn’t just a destination, it’s a tradition. Home to the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest Major League Baseball team, and the passionate fanbase of the Bengals and FC Cincinnati, this city lives and breathes game day. And with the RV park’s easy highway access, getting to and from the action is a breeze.

When you’re in Cincinnati, you’re diving into a city with a long and rich foodie history. One local gem worth visiting is Scotti’s Italian Restaurant, a cozy spot on Vine Street serving classic Italian fare since 1912.

After a full day of city fun, you’ll be glad to return to the peace and quiet of Northern Kentucky RV Park. Enjoy some downtime, catch a sunset, and rest up for another big day ahead.

Day 3: Museums, Markets & a Scenic Send-Off

Morning
Take a short 35-minute drive northwest to the Creation Museum, an immersive destination featuring world-class exhibits, botanical gardens, a planetarium, and hands-on activities for all ages. It’s an inspiring stop that blends education with engaging family fun.

Pro Tip: The museum opens mid-morning, so you can enjoy a slower start to your day before heading out. Don’t miss the walk-through gardens and petting zoo, a great way to soak up the scenery.

Afternoon
After your museum visit, head across the river to explore a little more of Cincinnati! Grab lunch at a riverside restaurant like Moerlein Lager House or browse Findlay Market, one of the oldest public markets in Ohio. If you didn’t visit the Newport Aquarium or Smale Riverfront Park earlier in your trip, now’s your chance.

Evening
Wrap up your final night with a quiet evening back at Northern Kentucky RV Park. Take a walk, make a campfire dinner, or just relax and reflect on the adventures of the past few days. With easy access to the highway, it’s a smooth start to wherever the road takes you next.
