Bucket-List Baseball Parks Every Fan Should Visit

17. Great American Ball Park – Riverfront Revival

Set along the banks of the Ohio River, Great American Ball Park is more than just a stadium—it's a revival of Cincinnati’s rich baseball heritage. Home to the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest franchise in professional baseball, the park pays homage to history while embracing the energy of the modern game. Opened in 2003, the ballpark features riverfront views, tributes to baseball legends like Pete Rose and Johnny Bench, and a steamboat-inspired “Power Stacks” feature that erupts with flames and fireworks after every Reds home run. Families will love the interactive Fan Zone, and the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum is a must-visit stop filled with vintage artifacts and immersive exhibits. The atmosphere is pure Americana: affordable, friendly, and deeply rooted in local pride. Whether you’re crossing the Roebling Suspension Bridge from Kentucky or enjoying skyline chili in the stands, this is a ballpark that tells a story—and welcomes you into it.
