Professional baseball began in Cincinnati and this unique experience takes guests to every location where the Reds played during the 19th and 20th century, tracing the connection between historic brewing and baseball along the way! Beginning at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, the tour starts with an informative trip to Great American Ball Park and includes a stop in the Reds’ home dugout. From there, we head out via bus to Union Grounds and Cincinnati's Union Terminal, where the undefeated 1869 Red Stockings played baseball! The Crosley Field site is certainly on the list, as are Avenue Grounds and Bank Street Grounds. Findlay Market’s Opening Day Parade is a Cincinnati tradition dating back more than a century and we’ll take you along the original parade route on the way to the remaining structures of the historic John Hauck Brewery, owner of the team during the 1880s. Tours include a souvenir map, a ticket voucher to the Reds Hall of Fame, and a beer at the Moerlein Lager House!

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Cincinnati Ballparks & Breweries Bus Tour? Is it mostly outdoors?

A: You'll definitely want to wear something comfortable since you'll be on and off the bus and at various ballpark sites. I recommend wearing casual clothes and good walking shoes. Some parts of the tour are outdoors, so check the weather before you go! If it’s sunny, don’t forget sunscreen and maybe a hat.

Q: Can the Cincinnati Ballparks & Breweries tour be rescheduled if plans change?

A: Yes, you can reschedule the tour! Just make sure to contact the Brewing Heritage Trail team at least 48 hours in advance. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s best to give them a heads-up. Always good to double-check so you don’t lose out on the experience!

Q: Is this tour suitable for someone who isn't a big baseball fan?

A: Absolutely! Even if you’re not a huge baseball fan, the history of the Reds and Cincinnati's brewing culture is fascinating. The tour guides are great at keeping things interesting, and you'll still enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. Plus, who doesn’t love a nice beer after all that walking?

Just got back from the Cincinnati Ballparks & Breweries tour! Here's my review!

I went on the Cincinnati Ballparks & Breweries Bus Tour last weekend and it was amazing! Starting at the Reds Hall of Fame was a blast, and getting to see the original home dugout at Great American Ball Park was the highlight for me. The bus ride was super comfortable, and our guide was really knowledgeable. Plus, the beer at Moerlein Lager House was a great way to wrap up the day! Definitely recommend this for any baseball fan or history buff!

I’m considering the Cincinnati Ballparks & Breweries Bus Tour as a gift for my brother who loves baseball. He’s been to Great American Ball Park a few times but doesn’t know much about the history of the Reds. This seems like a fun way to learn more! Anyone here done it? Would love to hear your thoughts!
