Are there any Christmas tree farms near Cincinnati?

Big Tree Plantation is a Cincinnati favorite. Voted by Cincinnati Magazine as one of Cincinnati's Top Ten Christmas traditions for families, Big Tree Plantation has approx. 45,000 trees to choose from. Staff members help you find the right Christmas tree, then provide you with a saw and help you transport the tree to your car. Additionally, they offer plenty of family activities such as live reindeer, a Nativity Scene, wagon rides, a Santa meet-and-greet, and complimentary hot chocolate! They're open from Nov. 23-Dec. 23.

Another option is Whitetail Acres, another cut-your-own Christmas tree farm relatively near Cincinnati. It's in Brookville, IN, about an hour's drive, but also offers thousands of trees to choose from and other family activities including wagon rides, live reindeer, and wreath-making for kids.
