The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, presented by Dinsmore, is an interactive, historical and educational museum dedicated to the rich history of the nation’s first professional baseball team—the Cincinnati Reds.

Located just outside the diamond at Great American Ball Park at 100 Joe Nuxhall Way, The Reds Hall of Fame will spotlight the 50th anniversary of the Big Red Machine’s 1976 World Championship—the title that secured the Reds’ legacy as one of the greatest teams in baseball history.

In addition to the Big Red Machine’s achievement, the Reds Hall of Fame will welcome a new class of Reds greats April 25–26. Inductees are Aaron Harang, Brandon Phillips, Lou Piniella, and Reggie Sanders.

Take a spin on one of the 44 whimsical Cincinnati-inspired characters that make up Carol Ann’s Carousel. The carousel is an amazing work of art featuring original paintings by Jonathan Queen with panels depicting animal characters playing in one of the numerous Cincinnati parks. Additional panels celebrate the many historic landmarks of Cincinnati inviting riders of all ages to become part of the magic.

The carousel is housed inside a glass pavilion so it can operate year-round. This one-of-a-kind attraction was gifted to the city by the Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation and expertly crafted by Carousel Works in Mansfield, Ohio. Beyond everyday rides, the carousel can even be rented for private parties and special events.

Find Carol Ann’s Carousel at 8 East Mehring Way, right across from the P&G GoVibrant Playscape along the riverfront, with easy parking nearby in the Central Riverfront Garage.

Here’s a look at the renderings forming the basis of the proposed use of public and open space (#15), framework for development sites (#16), and proposed uses (#17).

Since May 2025, the consultant team (Perkins & Will, MKSK, Kolar Design, HR&A, and Nelson Nygaard) has been working to update The Banks Urban
Design Plan, which focuses on the five remaining lots that wrap around Paycor Stadium. The team has completed its assessment of the current state of The Banks development; conducted an in-depth review of the site’s potential, and set priorities designed to elevate The Banks as a truly mixed-use entertainment district at an urban scale with residential density.

Through two public polls, it became clear that there is a unified desire to reinvigorate The Banks and to improve public safety by injecting more vibrancy and quality development. In order to produce greater economic impact, the plan must deliver increased residential density, provide experiential retail serving diverse user groups, and connect the city to the river and the river to the city.

In fourth quarter 2025, the consultant team presented a draft vision to Cincinnati City Council and Hamilton County Commission members. That vision has been the focus of refinement (e.g., specific design guidelines, final illustrations, and final draft masterplan) in first quarter 2026. Second quarter efforts will be finalizing the design guidelines, creating the final draft masterplan, and securing adoption by City and County.

Here’s a look at the renderings forming the basis of the proposed use of public and open space (#15), framework for development sites (#16), and proposed uses (#17).
