What is there to see and do without a car in Cincinnati?

Q We are thinking of trying the new British Airways route to Cincinnati and wondered what there is to see and do around the area and possibly across the borders of the neighbouring states? Any travel would have to be by public transport (train preferably) as we do not want to hire a car. We are a couple in our sixties who enjoy live music, dining out and just hanging out and exploring in a new city. We would be looking to go in late September/early October.

A This month British Airways started flying five times a week between London and Cincinnati – reviving the route last flown by Delta in 2009. I am a fan of “secondary cities” in the US, which I find more authentic that the premier league destinations.
