Highlights of this event include:

• Cozy up in the Sugar House to get a firsthand look at how we turn sap into syrup.

• Sample warm maple syrup and other goodies made with nature's liquid gold.

• Enjoy an alcoholic beverage or sample maple beer made exclusively for Maple Fest in partnership with Fifty West Brewing Company.

• Sip on complimentary bourbon samples. Nothing pairs better with maple syrups than bourbon!

• Join in games and activities that tell the tale of syrup making.

• Attend sap collecting hike and get up close and personal with our treasured grove of sugar maples.

Sap collecting hikes traverse about one mile of relatively flat, even trails. They will depart various time slots throughout the day and each will last approximately 30 minutes.

• Enjoy lunch from local food trucks or grab a cup of decadent hot cocoa!

• Purchase a bottle of Cincinnati Nature Center maple syrup (limit one per household due to extremely limited quantities) and other maple goods at the Maple Shop.

Note: Select complimentary food and alcohol samples are included in the ticket price, with additional food and drink available for purchase. Cash and credit cards will both be accepted for purchases.
