The Ultimate Bucket List of things to do in Ohio

The Traveling Praters presents Travel Inspired Living.The ultimate bucket list of things to do in OhioThings to do in Ohio: From the top Ohio State Reformatory, Kalahari Indoor Water Park, Worden’s Ledges, Hocking Hills, Leaning Tower of Pizza.  

This list was last updated 9/28/2017 to include my glamping in Ohio post. If you’ve ever wanted to sleep in a treehouse, this is a must read!

Ohio is one of the top wine-producing states in the country, has the largest Amish population in the world and is known as the roller coaster capital, thanks to the thrill seekers paradise, Cedar Point. Ohio is pretty diverse and most people have no idea of all that Ohio has to offer.

My goal for the past couple years has been to explore that diversity and uncover some of the places, attractions, and events that make Ohio not only a great place to live, but also a great place to visit.

So I’ve compiled a list that I have dubbed “ The Ultimate Bucket List of things to do in Ohio ” to help me stay on track. As I discover new reasons to love my home state, I’ll write a post about it and share it here. Simply click on the link – or sentence that is blue or purplish- to go to that blog post to see what I have to say about that attraction or destination.

Hopefully, my experiences will help you as you plan outings with your own children, spouse or travel friends. I’ll also add a button to my sidebar so you can easily reference this post as I visit more Ohio attractions and add them to my list of things to do in Ohio. So make sure you bookmark this page, Pin it, or share it so you’ll have it to refer back to when you’re looking for more ideas.

  1. Hi there! I realize that this post was many years ago – but our family is planning an Ohio trip and I came across your post from a link on Pinterest. Thanks for putting it out there! If you’ve never been to northwest Ohio, the Spangler Candy Company offers factory tours and a trolley ride – home of the Dum Dum suckers, the only US made candy canes and circus peanuts! Bryan, Ohio – Williams County! 🙂

    Reply

    • Thanks for the recommendations, Michelle. Spangler Candy Company has been on my list of places to explore for quite a while now. I just keep running out of time. While I did write the original post a few years ago, it is updated as I venture to more Ohio destinations as I hope it continues to be a valuable resource. Thanks so much for stopping by!

  4. Please don’t forget Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Medina County. They host a large variety of special events over and above their apple farm heritage. Check out their website. Another place I have not visited yet but hear about is Castle Noel, a unique Christmas museum in Medina near the historic Medina Square (another nice place with events all year on the grounds). The Saturday farmers markets are wonderful at Medina Square along with the art shows, music shows, Christmas candlelight walk, ice carving festival, and many, many other fun events.

  5. Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see any mention of the wonder Native American historical sites in southern Ohio. Chillicothe, Dayton, Columbus of the Ancient Fort people and Adena cultures. I’ve made a few videos of my swing through that area this summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vwu_Cq3h9E. This one is on Fort Ancient. One of the largest effigy mounds in the WORLD is in Ohio, The Serpent Mound. Thanks for you list…I’ll be coming back through there because Ohio really has so much to see.

    Reply

    • Hi Sue,

      You didn’t miss it. Up to this point, I’ve pretty much only added sites that I’ve been to personally to review and have had time to write about (that’s the kicker- getting those posts written). Have you been to Marietta? They have several mounds that you may want to check out as well. Thanks for sharing your video. I’ll check it out.

      Reply

    • The Serpant Mound is located east of Columbus in Newark, Ohio. Very cool history about our native Indians. I would visit them often as a child around the golf course as a child and heard the stories from my grandfather.

  6. The National Park Service Aviation Trail begins in Dayton with a museum complex displaying the story of the Wright Brothers and flight: Their print shop, a restored Wright Cycle Shop, and the site of their home. Downtown Dayton has a sculpture of them and their airplane, and another depicting the first 112-foot flight. A mile south at Carillon Park is a reconstructed bicycle shop and their 1905 Wright Flyer. Five miles east is a Wright Memorial overlooking the field where they learned to fly. The Visitor Center has a flight simulator so you can experience flying early planes. Then go to the spacious U.S. Air Force Museum for a free tour of the history of military flight, including hundreds of airplanes and a space capsule. Appropriately, you can bicycle the trail on bike-laned streets and on dedicated, paved bike trails. Or take a short driving tour.

  7. What about Renaissance Festivals! The Ohio Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Oh is so much fun. Great food, a variety of stage shows, crafts and medieval artisans. They are open Saturdays and Sundays from the first weekend in September to the middle of October. Make sure you try a “bread bowl”, take in a Jousting match, and see the Mudd Showe.
    Also the Great Lakes Medieval Faire is in Geneva, Oh (near Cleveland). They are also open Saturdays and Sundays from mid-July through mid-August. Huzzah!

  8. If you’re in Akron, you may want to go to Stan Hewitt Hall if you haven’t already. It’s a beautiful mansion, and it has spectacular gardens! 5 Oaks in Massillon is another, but you need to research ahead of time. The last I knew you had to schedule tours and have a party of at least 10 people. Canton has the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum (which is actually more fun than it sounds), the First Ladies Library, The Palace Theatre, etc. I hope it gives you some ideas. Happy traveling!

  29. If you want awesome food you should try Bella Bleu’s in Ashland. IT’S AMAZING! The food is wonderful. Also I HIGHLY recommend Lucky’s Cafe in Tremont (Cleveland). They have a fantastic Reuben. They brine their own corned beef and they MAKE THEIR OWN Sauerkraut. Yup, with cabbage from their garden next door. The desserts look great but I’m always stuffed unfortunately! If you come to Grandpa’s Cheesebarn in Ashland please let me know. I’ve never met a blogger before. I love Sweetie’s and their chocolates. Yum! kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.

  32. Visiting baseball parks around Ohio is on my list, both Major and Minor League. As a runner I would like to participate in as many marathons in Ohio as I can. I’ve done the major ones – Toledo, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton and Cleveland…Some 2-3 times each!

  33. Your bucket list has me dying for adventure hehe. I haven’t been to cosi since I was a little girl. I haven’t explored Columbus much either other than concerts(and I go to a lot of those).

    One of my favorite things about Ohio is antiques and Amish 🙂

  38. When you visit Akron, Quaker Square’s hotel is AMAZING!!!! Made from the old grain silos, the rooms are round. Super-cool.

    In Stark County (Canton), Heggy’s chocolates are the bomb! THE BEST!!!! Still hand made in small batches. Their greasy spoon restaurant (for lack of a better term) on the main drag between Canton and Massillon serves the best buttered french fries ever. Trust me — It took great discipline not to eat them every day. Thankfully, we lived nearby and could walk there. Burned some calories before dinner and after. 🙂

  39. Hocking Hills and more, I never realized how much there was to do in Ohio and I live only 20 mins from it.

    Reply

  40. if you are in the Columbus area, you should consider a trip to the Franklin Park Conservatory and Gardens. There is a historic conservatory building (where you can have a wedding or a party) and beautiful gardens surrounding it. Currently one of the biomes is filled with butterflies. There are community gardens and an outdoor cooking venue where,if you’re lucky, you may find wood fired pizzas being made. The park hosts many art, cooking and educational programs, as well as a farmers market (check their website for dates and times). Right now a 200 year old barn is being restored and built on the property! Come visit!!!

    • I’ve planned on visiting the Franklin Park Conservatory for years! I really need to put it on my list of places to visit in Ohio this summer! Thank you for all the information. I’d love to visit!

  41. Born in Ohio, moved to California when I was 2, finally got back to visit my home state, hometown of Salem last October and November…..AND LOVED IT!! I’m so glad I found your site because I plan to get back to visit Salem and the whole state in the next year or so. This is going to be a treasure trove of things for my husband and me, along with my cousin, to do. Thank you so much!! We’ll be camping, so any hints about great campgrounds would be wonderful. I haven’t had time to look over your site very much. Maybe you already covered campgrounds, but if not, there’s another idea for you. Again, thank you and this is going to be a great adventure, thanks to this blog!!

    • Welcome back to Ohio, Cynthy! I hope that my site will be a valuable resource for you, as I do write a lot about Ohio. I don’t have many camping stories. My husband and I camped regularly with our kids when they were younger and got away from that. He and I are planning to get back to camping this year so who knows? I may have some posts to share as the year goes on. Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

  45. Hi!
    I wanted to let you know of a wonderful place to eat and take advantage of the lake. It’s called Geneva on the Lake. There is a historical diner up there called Eddies Grill. It’s open Memorial day through Labor day and is open air. It’s super popular with the locals and vacationers, so finding a seat can sometimes be difficult, but it’s definitely worth the wait! The town is super charming as well. Tons of small cottages to stay in on or near the lake, wineries for the adults, a strip of shops and restaurants and an arcade! There is also Madsen dougnuts, which are to die for!! Hope you add Geneva on the Lake to your bucket list! It’s well worth a visit!

    • Thanks so much for leaving this comment, Sara. Geneva on the Lake sounds wonderful and I really hope that I’m able to visit this year. I’ll definitely check out Madsen for the doughnuts and Eddies Grill sounds right up my alley.

  46. I am not sure if I skipped over Geneva-On-The-Lake being mentioned, but if it wasn’t, make it be known now! Just outside of Ashatabula, sweet little strip filled with all kinds of exciting things to do. A must see is Firehouse Winery, which used to be a firehouse. A must stop while on the strip is Eddie’s Grill or Capo’s Pizza. Your can also see the worlds longest covered bridge in Ashtabula. Travel an hour or so south and go to Canfield to Whitehouse Fruit Farm to have their world famous blueberry doughnuts, that have been served by The Whitehouse…in Washington D.C. Yes indeed!

  47. I’m an Ohioan. Hocking Hills State Parks are a great visit, which I see you’ve done. You could always visit Glen Helen and John Bryan State Park in Yellowsprings, and even ride a bike on the bike trail from Yellowsprings, through Xenia, and onward. Xenia is known as the Bicycle Capital of the Mid-West. In Hocking County, they have Zip-line and Canopy Tours that are fun. You could also try Disc Golfing, there are tons of courses throughout Ohio in various towns that are beautiful and fun. There is also the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center in Wilberforce, Ohio, I loved it when I was in grade school. OU campus in Athens, Ohio has some great locations to check out, like the Ridges that’s on campus. If you are into haunted attractions around Halloween time, the Haunted Hoochie in Pataskla is a great haunted house to experience.

  49. I just came across this lovely post today. I have so much pride for Ohio and love when people take the time to explore what it has to offer. I know several have mentioned the Hocking Hills. I love not far from there and it truly is a gem. I didn’t read through everyone’s comments, so I apologize if someone already mentioned it, but the Circleville Pumpkin Show is something everyone should see once in their life! Circleville is my hometown and I do love me some Pumpkin Show!!!! 🙂 Chillicothe has Mound City, which is an ancient Hopewell burial ground. Very cool! Chillicothe also has Tecumseh, which is an outdoor drama about the legendary Shawnee leader. It is beautiful!

    Reply

    • I went to the Circleville Pumpkin Show when I was little and I remember it bored me to death. lol That’s a young kid for you. My mom and dad wanted to look at all the different pumpkins and I’d had enough after the first 10. As an adult, I’d love to go back…and take my kids. 🙂

  51. When visiting Dayton, make sure you look into the metro parks. A few are kid centered or have kid friendly attractions. My favs are Wegryzn, Cox Arboretum and Aullwood. Near Wegrzyn is Boonshoft Children’s Museum, always a must for our visitors from out of town. My favorite festivals that I hadn’t seen mentioned earlier are Waynesville’s Sauerkraut Fest(second weekend in October), Centerville’s Americana (4th of July)- look for zombie dogs food truck, and during June-early July Springfield has weekly concerts in Cliff Park. I also enjoy the festivals at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering.

  52. I’m so surprised nobody’s said anything about the COUNTY FAIRS! I grew up in Wellington, which is home to the Lorain County Fair, which is in late August. They have a huge array of animals for show, with auctions and competition. You can watch them milk cows each day, and they have draft horse pulls too. I love to go down each year (I live near Cleveland Hopkins Airport in North Olmsted now) and see the tractor pull and the combine derby—which is indeed a demolision derby with combines!!! I’ve heard it’s the best fair in the state, but my Youngstown friends always tout the Canfield Fair near Youngstown as the best.

    Also, Cleveland has an incredible culinary scene along with some great architecture. Downtown be sure to visit the Terminal Tower Observation Deck, which is on the 42nd floor of Cleveland’s iconic tower—it’s open on Saturday afternoons I think again, and I got to go to a special night tour this past winter. The Arcade is I believe the first indoor mall in the entire state, but in the 1880s (!) and has the most beautiful brass and glass interior architecture. Directly across from the Arcade is the East 4th Street entertainment district, which includes Iron Chef Michael Symon’s Lola, along with the one of the best comedy clubs in the country, Hilarities, at Pickwick & Frolic. It’s also well worth your while to check out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center, as well as take a stroll out to Voinovich Park on the end of the East 9th Street Pier. As for neighborhoods, you can’t find more great breweries in one place than Ohio City, across the River from Downtown. They also have some of the best food, the West Side Market of course, a brand new Mitchell’s Ice Cream shop (which includes a factory where you can see them make the ice cream!), and tons of cool Victorian houses along Bridge Avenue and Fulton Road. Tremont, just a small trip down Abbey Avenue from the West Side Market is home to one of the greatest Art Walks in the city, not to mention great restaurants, coffee shops, and Tremont Scoops Ice Cream. University Circle has tons of great museums, the Case Western Reserve University Campus, the Botanical Gardens, Rockefeller Park and the cultural gardens along MLK Drive, and the Western Reserve Historical Society. Just down from there is Little Italy, which feels like you’ve been transported to a whole other city and contains another huge concentration of art galleries, unique shops, and of course, Italian restaurants. Just up the hill from Little Italy is Coventry Village in Cleveland Heights, again with a full gamut of ethnic restaurants, cool stores, and the famous Big Fun novelty store. When in Cleveland Heights, also catch an independent film, documentary, or an old favorite at the Cedar Lee Theater, along with more restaurants and shops, as well as the Tudor Village at Cedar and Fairmount. The Shaker Lakes and Shaker Square are also beautiful places to see some beautiful homes and great architecture. Back on the West Side, I highly recommend visiting Lakewood, which has a booming restaurant and bar scene which includes the original Melt Bar & Grilled, featured plenty on the Food Channel, along with tons of art galleries all along Detroit and Madison Avenues. Be sure to drive down Clifton Boulevard as well as Lake Avenue and Edgewater Drive, where you find Cleveland’s best seafood restaurant overlooking Lake Erie and the city skyline at Pier W, as well as taking a walk along the promenade at Lakewood Park. Past Lakewood’s West End takes you across into Downtown Rocky River, and also has the northern terminus of the Cleveland Metroparks Valley Parkway, which has a parallel bike trail that runs for nearly 20 miles. Along the Valley Parkway, you will see one of Greater Cleveland’s best-kept secrets with the picturesque Rocky River’s 90-foot cliffs along either side of the river, as well as golf courses, hiking, waterfalls, and Rocky River Nature Center. The East Suburbs have their own, and arguably better counterpart along the Chagrin River between Downtown Willoughby (also worth the trip) and Chagrin Falls, an upscale village with a picturesque waterfall, Jeni’s ice cream, lots of little shops, and of course, the falls.

    A couple of other highlights of the Cleveland area would be the beaches, Edgewater Park has been cleaned up beautifully now, Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Lakeview Park in Lorain, and the ***best*** beach on Lake Erie—Headlands Beach near Mentor/Grand River/Painesville, which is the only NATURAL sand beach left on the American side of Lake Erie…it even includes a nature preserve protecting the dunes that used to be common along Ohio’s lakefront—it’ll make you swear you’re actually on the East Coast! By the way…if you hit Lakeview Park in Lorain, DEFINITELY check out K-Cream Korner just down the road at Oberlin and West Erie Avenues—they have the coolest vanilla ice cream/orange sherbet twist there!

    • Awesome tips, Lee! I actually LOVE to spend time in Cleveland- I just haven’t found the time to write about our time there yet. My husband and I visited the Lake View Cemetery last year for a trolley tour and loved it. I had hoped to visit Melt at that time, but I’m still waiting. I see another trip is in order. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely adding to my list.

  54. If you are in Sandusky again go to Tofts Dairy, they have the best ice cream. Also sandusky played a part I’m the Underground Railroad. I think there might be a tour. Just south of Sandusky is Milan, the birth place of Thomas Edison. you can tour the home he grew up in. Milan also hosts the Milan festival, where you can try homemade melon ice cream. Just west of Sandusky is castalia. home of the blue hole and the duck pond that never freezes. in Fremont Ohio you can your the President Hayes museum.

    • Toft’s is yummy. I actually had it this past week in Bucyrus! Th Hayes Museum and home is gorgeous. My husband and I visited right after it had been renovated. When I was a child I used to visit a blue hole with my parents’ but I didn’t think it was open anymore. I’ll look into it and see if the one in Castalia is one in the same. Thanks for the suggestions!

  55. This is a great list! I came here looking for ideas of things to see around Ohio because I’ve decided I wanted to try to visit every county this summer (I call it 88 counties in 88 days!). It might be extremely ambitious for me but I love road trips so it should be fun even if I don’t get it done! I have seen many things around the state but never paid particular attention to the different counties. My plan is to photoblog it and take pictures of one cool/interesting thing I visited in each county. I just started this past weekend so so far I only have 4 counties: Licking (Velvet Ice Cream Factory), Muskingum (Longaberger HQ building and Factory Stores), Coshocton (the country’s largest inland lighthouse), and Knox (Honey Run Falls and park). Now I have some great ideas to do in some other counties thanks to this blog and all the comments! Good luck with your bucket list 🙂

    • Correction on my part: the Longaberger giant basket HQ is actually in Licking. I meant to say I visited the Longaberger Homestead and Factory Stores in Muskingum.

      • I love the giant basket! I’ve seen that and the giant Market Basket in Frazeysburg, but the Longaberger Homestead was closed the day I stopped so I didn’t see the giant apple basket. I definitely need to plan to stop back by.

  59. As a student from Ohio University I want to put in a plug for Athens! The university is set in the hills of the hocking hills area and is set in all brick even the roads! It’s a must see in the summer or fall when the leaves are changing. It truly is a special place-beautiful. Athens is home to lots of organic resturants and home breweries. Very unique! Also since you talked about wine in your blog when checking out Holmes county you should drive over to Breitenbaugh Winery they have cookouts some Saturdays. Lastly, tuscarawas county has a small park with amusement rides, batting cages, a pool, concessions, and lots more! I’ve worked there for many summers and I always love hearing where people have traveled from to come visit. Great bucket list you have!

    • I’ve been told that the university campus is beautiful, but I’ve never stopped to see it. Definitely adding it to my list of places to see. Thanks so much!

  60. I almost forgot to mention the best burger place in Ohio… Thurman’s in German Village, Columbus, is home to some of the best burgers. The small, dark atmosphere serves up burgers on a paper plate and takes up the entire plate! They have recently opened up Son of Thurman’s on Sandusky St., in downtown Delaware, Ohio. I promise you that you won’t regret eating here.

    Reply

    • Thurman’s has been suggested more than once, so you know what that means? It must be great! I an’t wait to try it but it sounds like I may need to split the burger with someone else. A whole plate, really? Wow.

  62. If you ever make it to the southeastern part of Ohio, in Monroe County, you should venture to Sardis. A small town along the river, it’s where I grew up. It’s such a small town, not even a stop light but everyone knows us for Ables Cheese. It’s a small store the locals frequent for snacks, fishing bait, even crafts, but most importantly, the best cheese around! In near by towns there are other sites to see. Fly, Ohio has an operational ferry that’s been there for years! Hannibal is home to the Hannibal Locks and Dam, which you can tour. In the country behind Hannibal is a place called Kiedaisch Point where you can look out over the entire Valley, it’s truly a breathtaking view.

    • I’ve never heard of Sardis. It sounds like a great place to visit. I’d also like to visit the locks in Hannibal. Thanks for the recommendations!

I thought it was a fun trip, they had free tours. Also good ice cream place: Handels! There’s a couple in the Akron/Kent area and one in Columbiana. I also remember going to Loveland, Ohio (near Dayton) to see a castle of some sort. Can’t wait to check back and see where you’ve gone!

  64. If your ever in the onterio area out near mansfield (Richland county) there is a wonderful boutique I highly recommend visiting. The owner actually opened up a second in Ashland . It’s called B.E. Humble. The owner Brittany Humble is absolutely adorable and amazing at helping you find the perfect outfit. She has something for all ages and sizes and makes everyone look amazing. She’s expecting her second baby in June 2014 so she might not be around much then and her website isn’t getting updated as much but she has some wondeful employees that are super helpful too. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram or her website http://behumblefashion.com. She posts new arrivals on Facebook and Instagram and she ships.
    Around that area they also have some beautiful bike trails and the Blue patch which is fun for families. Also it’s near the ohio state reformatory you visited.
    Also loudenville is a fun place to go canoing, kayaking, rafting or relax in a tube floating down the river. My friends and I love to go canoing every summer.
    You should check out the color run coming to Columbus Ohio July 19th https://reg3.thecolorrun.com/registration/28/? You can join team “sparkle” and save an extra $5 it’s a really fun family activity you can walk, get messy, take pictures and have a great time. I do it every year and love it my family started doing it with me last year and they can’t wait to do it again this year. It’s great for all ages and kids especially love it. The jazz and rib festival takes place in the same area as the color run on the same day so you can check it out right after you finish and there’s a ton of great hotels to stay at in the area if you don’t live close.
    Also if you haven’t checked out the Columbus Zoo it’s a really great place to take the kids. They are getting a new African Safari exhibit the end of this spring. And they have a wonderful watermark Zoombezi Bay.
    Thank you for your wonderful blog post there are so many things I didn’t realize we’re in Ohio and can’t wait to check them out!

  67. Born and raised in Summit County, OH, so I’m here to vouch for the BEST in Akron. 🙂 I’m a world traveler as well so I won’t waste your time. If you’re in Akron: Our art museum is small, but it still has some neat pieces and is absolutely free on Thursdays. Just a block or two away is Lockview restaurant which is a restaurant and bar. Their best menu items include cheese – cheese lovers rejoice! My favorite macaroni and cheese worldwide was in Dana Point (Laguna Beach), CA at Salt Creek Grille until I had the mac and cheese at Lockview in my own back yard. NOT to be missed.
    If you feel like seeing a baseball game at our small, family-friendly Canal Park (AA), stop by the Peanut Shoppe but beware they close around 5 or 6 (last I checked) – such a fun, old school type of candy shop!!

    • The BEST is definitely what I’m looking for! 🙂 My daughter is on a hunt to find the best mac & cheese so we just may plan a trip to Lockview. I can’t believe how difficult it is to find a decent mac & cheese dish. What a perfect suggestion! 🙂

  71. I highly recommend Holmes County for Amish. The Holmes-Wayne Amish settlement is the largest in the world. My husband makes his living driving Amish workers. Yes- it’s a real job! Just drive pretty much anywhere and you will pass Amish farm after Amish farm. Their business are plentiful and always interesting too! Berlin is more commercialized… I prefer Mt. Hope, Charm…. basically anywhere off the beaten path.

    • I prefer off the beaten path as well. One of our favorite stops is to Miller’s Bakery- they have the best buttermilk cookies. My teens look forward to them every time we visit. There is so much that we haven’t seen in Amish Country. Would love to spend more time nosing around.

  74. Just want to mention a sweet little town of Delaware halfway between Cincinnati and Cleveland. Great little shops, restaurants like Buns and Hamburger Inn, both over 100 years old and the Strand Theater, also over 100 years old.. We have a Whit’s Custard and Thurmans, home of the Thurmanator Burger. One of the best Arts’ Festivals in Ohio the weekend after Mothers’ Day, fabulous Farmers Market Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. And, don’t forget the Little Brown Jug Horse Race at the Delaware County Fair the 3rd Thursday in Sept. with the All Horse Parade the Sunday before. And, I have to mention the overlooked Delaware State Park which is beautiful and has great camping and a wonderful beach and marina. Delaware is the birth place of Rutherford B. Hayes, the19th US President. Not to mention the Ohio Wesleyan University with the fabulous Gray Chapel where we are so fortunate to enjoy the Central Ohio Symphony. Great town you should not miss!

  78. Greene Co. is amazing! Cedarville has Cedar Cliff Falls which is a smaller version of Hocking Hills (and just as good IMO.) You can go off the trails and hike along the creek or follow the trail to see historic Indian Mounds. There are also gorgeous falls throughout the park, with a pretty good size one at the entrance that you can stand at the top of.
    Also, Yellow Springs is an adorable town with lots of murals on most buildings in downtown. Its also home to Young’s dairy where they make their own ice cream/cheese and have lots of activities for the kids!

    Also, In Madison Co. (my home!) be sure to check out Plain City. They have lots of Amish/Menonnites and great furniture/food shops. Also The Red Brick Tavern on the National Rd. in London has lodged 4(I think) Presidents and has pretty good food!

Go to the Troy Strawberry Festival. Or the Marion Popcorn Festival. How about the Civil War reenactment at George Rogers Clark Park in Springfield Ohio. Can’t miss the Wright Brother’s Museum in Dayton, or see the sculpture of the ‘actual flight’ in Downtown Dayton. Visit the Blue Danue restaurant in Columbus, or Hike Old Man’s Cave in Logan Ohio.

Down in Gallia County, you could go to the Bob Evans Farm Festival (usually the 14-16 of October)and see where Bob Evans started it all, visit the Mothman Bridge going in to West Virginia, take in a sporting event at the University of Rio Grande, head up to Jackson County and visit Fourmile Bakery to get a doughnut, while there stop over at the Fourmile Greenhouse(Amish and Mennonite establishments) Welsh culture is strong in both counties, while in Jackson see what is happening at the Markay Cultural Arts Center, they have performances and Art classes from local artists. If you are going through Chillicothe, the Majestic Theater also has a nice set of programs(Vern Riffe Center in Portsmouth has phenomenal performances as well).I did see other things people mentioned about Chillicothe, all great sights, the Lucy Hayes(Rutherford’ s wife)house is there as well. Tecumseh is a terrific performance if you have never been, happy travels!!

  82. Hey I came across this list from Pinterst! We currently live in New York but we are from Ohio and moving back soon! I thought it was so awesome that you are from the Mansfield area because we are from Shelby!! When I saw the list of things to do in your hometown I realized where you were from! Can’t wait to take my daughter to the Little Buckey Museum! Also I’m not sure if they still do it because its been years since I’ve been but the Ohio Historical Museum has this old town you can walk through and the have houses you can tour and demonstrations. Last time I was there they had and old fashion baseball game going on and all the players were in vintage uniforms. It was awesome and I plan on going again once we get back!

My kids always wish they were younger when we visit with my nephew. 🙂 You’ll also enjoy the carousel less than a block away. And Buckeye Bakery has the best donuts ever! If you need ideas when you move back, let me know.

      • I live in Mansfield, I also work downtown on the square at one of the banks. The downtown area is becoming more and more popular again. the first Friday of every month they have things going on down there. The Carousel obviously and the little buckeye museum. We also have a tour on Mansfield where they open up the old building and take you through tours of them. We have open-mic nights at some of the places down there. Very exciting stuff happening there. But also in Columbus there is a whistle factory, where you can take a tour and see how they make them and then you receive one at the end of your tour. Very neat. Call ahead though and schedule a tour. There is so much to do in Ohio. The one thing I wish we did have though is the dinner shows such as Dixie Stampede or the Medieval Times Dinner. Good Luck with your bucket list and Thank you for reminding us of this wonderful place so many of us call home.

Conneaut Creek is a state wild and scenic river in Ohio and is famous for its steelhead fishing.

Since you love hiking and since try a place called Nelson ledges once again not sure if the name of town it’s in. Magic mountain in Columbus.. Do the polar express train ride during winter in cuyhoga falls. A must see is the Ohio fallen heros memorial in sanbury ohio!! If you have military ties be ready to cry.

Just 10 minutes north of Lehman’s is P Graham Dunn which I saw on your factory tour list. Probably 7 minutes from P Graham Dunn is the Smucker’s store, with all of the brands the JM Smucker company owns. Both of these places are closed on Sun also. In Holmes County, Hershberger’s truck patch on the way to Charm & Keim Lumber (another must see location) is fun. You can ride horses, go for a buggy ride, & feed the goats on the roof. The Farm at Walnut Creek is a cool experience. Take a wagon ride through & feed the animals, including giraffes. The first week-end in December they have a live nativity in the Journey to Bethlehem. Tuscora Park is an old style amusement park in New Philly open in the summer. Check it out with Warther’s Museum. The Hall of Fame hot air balloon launch in July is incredible.

  103. You really need to add the Hanoverton Inn to your bucket list. It’s also called the Spread Eagle Tavern and Inn. My husband and I enjoyed our stay with several other couple and the food was amazing. They had “ghost walks” available in the evening as well, although we didn’t do that. We stayed in the Lincoln Room, and Abraham Lincoln actually gave a speech in the room while on his campaign tour long ago.
    There really is nothing else to see or do in the town of Hanoverton, but we did stop at the P. Graham Dunn store on the way up, and it’s not far from Berlin either. Beautiful, beautiful place!

    • I’ve never heard of Hanoverton Inn, but it sounds like something I’d like to check out. Only if I don’t see a ghost. 🙂 I love P Graham Dunn!

  104. Great restaurants in Cleveland- The Greenhouse Tavern, Red the Steakhouse, Happy Dog, and D’Agnese’s.
    Great Lakes Brewing Company has a great tour and great beer. Jeni’s Ice Cream is fantastic. Big Lyon’s Falls trail in Mohican State Park is an enjoyable hike. A picnic atop Mt. Jeez in Malabar Farm is something I do every year. The Nautica Queen Brunch Cruise in Cleveland is a must do. Go to a concert at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Hts. And check out PuppyPalooza at an Indians game!

    • Great suggestions! I’ll keep these in mind when I visit the WestSide Market. Big Lyon’s is on my list to write about. Hasn’t been much of a falls the past few times we’ve hiked to it, but it’s still an enjoyable hike.

  106. I love this list, but cringed when I saw Castaway Bay on there. My family loves water parks, but we recently went to that one and were quite disappointed. It was really small, and the kids wanted to leave after a couple hours because they were so cold. The website says they keep it 82 degrees, but my son seriously looked like a vampire he was so white. Great Wolf Lodge is ok, and Fort Rapids in Columbus is ok, but once you go to Kalahari everything else seems lame. Kalahari all the way!

    Reply

    • I wouldn’t take my teens to Castaway Bay or Great Wolf Lodge, but my younger nieces and nephews loved the smaller water parks. My teens loved Kalahari. Their only complaint is how long the lines can be to go down some of the slides.

  107. Stan Hywet Hall in Akron is a pretty place to spend the afternoon. We usually take a picnic and eat by the Carriage House and then tour the gardens and conservatory. The manor is fascinating, but probably not the best bet for younger kids. It’s exceptionally pretty at Christmas time, of course, but then you have the crowds to deal with. In summers past, they have had a native butterfly display as well.

  108. Great ideas! Between your post and the comments I now have a whole list of cool places to visit in my new home state! I might add the WORKS museum in Newark (right down the road from the Longaberger Basket Co). It’s a great hands on science Museum that also has glass blowing demos and great programs for the kids. Also mastadon fossils and historical relics from Ohio’s rich past. Around the corner from Newark is the quaint village of Granville. It bosts a historical museum, great shops and (what I believe is) the original Whits custard shop.

      • If you’re in Newark don’t forget a stroll through the Indian Mound Earthworks! I’ve always wanted to go but never have.

      • Gosh if it’s not already on your list it’s in the comments! We have so many great things to do in our state! When I was little there used to be a Johnny Appleseed outdoor drama in Ashland. I don’t know if they still do it. I don’t think anyone has mentioned King’s Island either. I’ve also always wanted to do Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo. I suppose if you like pro sports we have 2 football teams and a hockey team. Also, my family has always really enjoyed Mount Gilead State Park. It’s a small park but they do fun things like outdoor movies and an apple butter “festival” in the fall. What a great list i’ve stumbled upon. 🙂

        Reply

        • Yes, the comments have kind of taken on a life of their own! I love the comments because every time I get a new one, I learn about another place to go. 🙂 The Appleseed Drama is no longer in operation. Wildlights is fun- my kids always loved it when they were little. Mt. Gilead State Park is nearby, but I’ve never been there. Adding it to my list. Thanks for the tips!

It is a beautiful work of nature and a wonderful adventure for the whole family.

  113. If you are at Rogers Flea Market you are only 5 miles from The Company Store in Negley, Oh. It was the largest
    general store in the state in 1904, providing supplies for the coal miners and their families. Today it is an antique and stuff store that is filled to overflowing with everything you can imagine. One of those “you have to see it to believe it” kind of places. Linda has been there for 25 years and never stops bringing in new things. Last year she purchased another building across the street and the second store is up and running. On Fridays both stores are swamped with people on their way to and from Rogers flea market. Definitely a place to add to your bucket list

  116. Hi. I am from Northeastern Ohio. Home of President James A Garfield, in Mentor, OH. You are able to do tours. It is under restoration at this time, but hopefully back up and running soon. http://www.nps.gov/jaga/index.htm. It is has one of the largest high school’s in Ohio. My 2002 class, was just under 1000 kids. One of my favorite places to stay at is Geneva on the Lake, please take your RV there and stay a week, after Memorial Day. I love to eat at Mary’s Kitchen. It is small little strip, cute shops, putt-putt, go karts, etc. http://www.visitgenevaonthelake.com. With some amazing wineries. In the Summer, there is also a Medieval Faire. The shows are amazing, plan on staying the whole day, they have so much to do. http://www.medievalfaire.com/ There is also an Indian Museum in Willoughby, OH. http://www.indianmuseumoflakecounty.org/index2.html. There is also part of the Underground Railroad through Painesville, OH.http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Underground_Railroad?rec=1518. Which is also home to one of the oldest liberal arts colleges, it also started out as an all girl school. Lake Erie College. Which is also said to be haunted. Now we also have Squires Castle, where people like to go for a nice walk on a sunny day. http://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/Main/Squires-Castle.aspx.

  118. Hi there! I’m originally from Toronto, OH, but I live in Youngstown now with my fiance. East Liverpool has a 4 story antique mall that overlooks the Ohio River — definitely one of the best that I’ve been to. (If you go there, you *must* check out the Hot Dog Shoppe for lunch, and if you have time the Homer Laughlin factory is just across the river if you’re interested in a WV jaunt. That is where they make all of the Fiestaware plates, and you can score aaamaaazing deals in their seconds room.) Youngstown is home to the 2nd largest metropark in the country (even bigger than NYC’s Central Park!), and it has a huge variety of trails and attractions scattered through it. You can also find the Butler Institute of American art right on Youngstown State University’s campus. It was the first museum in the US dedicated to strictly American art, and contains paintings by Mary Cassatt, Norman Rockwell, Jasper Johns, Edward Hopper, and many more big names in art. (http://www.butlerart.com/index.asp).

I was scheduled to fly out of the regional airport a couple months ago and struck up a conversation with one of the passengers who had grown up in the area. They really couldn’t point me to anything in Youngstown but I’ve read that the area has undergone a revitalization. I hope the trails on the metropark are marked better than Central Park! 🙂 The tips sound great- several things I’m interested in. Especially the antique store. Sounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

  119. How have you not been to Michigan? GO!!! The west has giant sand dunes and lighthouses on Lake Michigan, and if you go up to Mackinaw, you can step in Lake Michigan on one side of the bridge and Lake Huron on the other! Mackinaw Island has a bunch of family things to do (famous Grand Hotel, butterfly gardens, Fort Mackinaw with reenactors, etc.), with a fort and museum on the mainland, too. On the other side of the bridge, just in the UP, there’s a Native American Ojibway museum, a deer park, and train/steamboat activities. There are a whole bunch of waterfalls, campgrounds, and lighthouses. Drive an hour or two north, and you can visit The Shipwreck Museum on Lake Superior. Go west a ways (an hour or two) and you get to the Painted Rocks National Lakeshore. There is soooooo much to do in Michigan! And if you make it up to the UP, eat a pasty for me! (I’m from Ohio).

The house is beautiful and the grounds are amazing to walk around. Just east o there is my hometown of Bellevue. I read that you went to the Seneca caverns, but did you know that Bellevue also has a train museum and a place called Historic Lyme Village? In September I believe, they have an outside thing going on that includes people in civil war camps set up and also Abraham Lincoln. They have cloggers performing and also Indian campsites. Fun for all as they have an oldtime schoolhouse that children can go to and they show old games that the kids can play. Also different Indian instruments that they teach the kids to play. I try to make it every year.

  122. I just wanted to add one that I did not see as I scrolled through the various comments–The Plastic Brick Museum in Bellaire Ohio. Better known as “the unofficial Lego Musuem”. There are some old fashioned toys from your childhood that you can show your children, but the focus of the museum is on Lego structures. It was well worth our trip across the state. The admission is $8/adults and $6/children. We spent more than 2 hrs. there, but I would have stayed longer and checked out more of the details of the models if we did not have a long drive back home. It is in an old elementary school building with both 3-D Lego models and flat (a black and white “painting” of Mt. Rushmore) designs everywhere. A life sized 3-D spiderman, 7′ tall 3-D giraffe, miniature model of the white house, 3-D Statue of Liberty, and so many more.

  123. When you plan your weekend in Toledo, some places to consider visiting is the Toledo Art Museum, the Toledo Zoo (I believe it’s ranked in the top 10 of the country), Imagination Station (a wonderfully awesome science place that’s great for people of all ages), the Botanical Gardens, and Sauder Village is not too far. A unique, and delicious, place to eat would be the original Tony Packo’s on Consaul. Jamie Farr’s character, Klinger, on the t.v. show MASH often talked of it. Famous people from Toledo and all over the world have come to it and autographed a hotdog bun there. There has to be quite a bit more; but I believe those are the highlights.

We did visit Cedar Point as a family last year and have plans to return again this fall. We stayed on property at Hotel Breakers and made a weekend of it.

  127. I’d like to put in a small plug for my hometown of Marion. They have the best known attractions for the city – President Harding’s Home and Museum. However – there is another small gem of a museum in Marion called the Stengle-True museum which was a stop on the Underground Railroad. This house was built around the mid 1800 – and it acts like a time capsule for the period. If you decide to stop – there is also a small winery just south of Marion in the village of Waldo (know for the G&R and it’s bologna sandwich) called Shamrock Vineyard. Stop on by and pick up some Buckeye Red. =)

Not terribly far from their maybe 20 minutes SW is a farmers market on rt 12 near a town called Burnsville. They have some of the best produce, plants and flowers. If while traveling on 75 you stop in Findlay you have to go Wilson’s hamburgers. They’ve been around for ages. Other great stops in Findlay would be Oler’s for the margaritas and Dietsch’s for the ice cream and chocolate covered pretzels. While in town you can visit Riverside park and go for a canoe or paddle boat if you wish too.

The only things in the parade are horses (well over 100 entries of all kinds of horses from miniature to Percheron) and the carriages they pull. The carriages are decorated for Christmas and even decorated with lights for the evening parade. It is beautiful and a great way to get in the Christmas spirit! Lots of other great things to do and places to eat in Lebanon as well…fabulous frozen custard at Whit’s, dinner at The Golden Lamb (Ohio’s oldest inn) or The Black Horse Tavern, treats from The Golden Turtle Chocolate Factory, a ride on the LM&M train, visit to Fort Ancient, museums, and lots of cute shops downtown. In the summertime, there are lots of outdoor activities within a few minutes…canoeing on the Little Miami River, waterparks, disc golf courses, and Kings Island, just to name a few! Lebanon is halfway between Dayton and Cincinnati, so easily combined with a road trio to either of those cities,

      • I don’t think carriage rides are available, which seems strange, but I’ve never seen them offered. The carriages in the parade aren’t necessarily the kind you see downtown in big cities. Some are traditional carriages, but there are also antique vehicles like fire wagons or milk wagons, and various other carriages.
        Also, there are so many things to do in the greater Cincinnati area, but one that is not to be missed is the Underground Railroad Freedom Center right on the river.

The Columbus Zoo is always great, the Columbus Art Museum, COSI is a must, and for awesome food the North Market is awesome, and in the short north which has a wonderful variety of shops and eateries. To the south in Fairfield County is Rockmill, an original restored grist mill with the largest waterwheel in the US, it sits at the top of a gorge and looks over the upper falls of the Hocking River. There are plenty of covered bridges to see in the area if that’s your think, and the childhood home of General Sherman is open for tours. In nearby Ross County is Chillicothe, the first state capital, with the preserved plantation home of Thomas Worthington, Ohio’s statehood founder and the founder of ohio university. They give wonderful historic tours of the homestead and have a beautiful new museum that covers subjects from Worthing to pioneer life to local Native American history. check out the adena and hopewell Indian mounds at the park across the highway from the plantation, there is also a museum there. You can also find the outdoor ampitheatre production of Tecumseh, the great Shawnee warrior, who was born nearby. There are so much more things to see and do in this part of Ohio…Hocking Hills are awesome, I recommend Cantwell Cliffs or Conkles Hollow as nice hikes and an alternative to the always busy Old Mans Cave. Plenty of accommodations for overnight stays, and there are now zip lines in the area for the adventurous! There is also a trainride that starts in Nelsonville and ends in Athens that is fun.

      My husband and I visited Adena last year and really enjoyed our tour. Unfortunately, it was raining and we were short on time (just passing through) so we weren’t able to explore the grounds as much as I would have liked.

      I LOVE Hocking Hills! My family has enjoyed seeing Old Mans Cave, Conkles Hollow and Rock House. Each year we want to return but somehow haven’t managed. I’d love to return and spend the night at Glen Laurel or Ravenwood Castle.

There are some great places in here that I’ve never heard of before (like Landoll’s) that I’d like to now see. 🙂 If you are interested in a few tips from a NE Ohioan: If you go to the Hartville Flea Market, stop at Hartville Kitchen for lunch. The Cuyahoga Valley Railroad sometimes has specials on Groupon and their website. We went in September and tickets were buy one get one free. They even have a complementary shuttle that will transport you to and from the Akron Zoo (and maybe some other places–I don’t remember which ones, though). When we would travel the state, we used some of Neil Zurcher’s One Tank Trips books. A lot of these places are similar to Roadside America attractions. Have fun!

I never realized how many things I drive past almost every day and never really think about! I guess we take for granted what’s always in front of us. The Little Buckeye Museum is great for the little ones (and the grownups!) And while you’re downtown, check out the Richland Carousel and grab lunch at Coney Island. We can spend a whole day there and it’s just minutes from home! I also highly recommend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for any music lovers, and the tour of the Christmas Story house is pretty fun, too!!

  141. Hocking Hills State Park is fantastic. We spent many weekends there when our kids were young. You might try the winter hike next January. I think it is the 3rd Sat. in Jan. You will walk from Upper Falls at Old Man’s Cave, to Cedar Falls where there will be hot bean soup, cornbread, and hot chocolate for a donation, then journey to Ash Cave where buses will pick you up and take you back to your car. Think it is about a3-5 mile hike, but one you will never forget. We have done it several times.

      • I’m okay with ice when the temperatures are near 50. I’m hoping to visit Hocking Hills again this summer as well. The first time I was there, I could not get over how beautiful it was. Have you hiked to Rock House? It was great and my kids (who were much smaller at the time) loved it.

  142. Check out Bowling green and go to the historical museum right off of I-75 to see the fingers. I loved seeing them when I was a kid and still do when I make it back home. Then there is a small town named Tontogany just west of BG at a bar called Doc’s and have the best ribs in Wood county. And just west of that in October I believe is the apple butter festival in Grand Rapids. In Grand Rapids too in the summer months you can take a canal ride on the Erie Canal along side the Maumee river.

    • Great suggestions! I’ve not spent anytime in Bowling Green and didn’t even know Ohio had a Grand Rapids. The canal ride would be a great addition to my bucket list. Thanks for the ideas!

  143. You know I thought I did a lot of traveling throughout Ohio when I lived there, but I can tell now I missed out on so many neat things! It makes me wonder what all I’m missing in SC. You’ve given me a research project. 🙂

    Do you work for the US Family Guide? If not, you should definitely look into it. They pay their employees rather well, and I believe you’d love working with them. (If you don’t already.)

  145. Nice list! We’ve spent fun days in Toledo and Columbus while driving through Ohio the past two summers. Definitely need to take the child to the USAF Museum. Haven’t been there since 2001.

  146. I’ve done the Lake Erie Coastal Trail several times and written multiple stories about it (including one that lists many highlights along the 293-mile route and links to my other stories about individual sites along the trail. Among my favorites are Marblehead Lighthouse (a short detour off of the main route to the tip of the Marblehead Peninsula), Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland (for regional history, architecture and landscaping buffs), and the 18 covered bridges in Ashtabula County.

    Reply

    • I love Marblehead Lighthouse! I never visit the area without stopping at the lighthouse. I’ll definitely check out your site for some recommendations when we prepare to head out on the Lake Erie Coastal Trail. The cemetery sounds like a fun stop and the covered bridges have long been on my list to see.

      Reply

      • 2nd weekend in October is the covered bridge festival and it’s awesome to go to. They have maps to follow and park personal to give history of the bridges and even a few of the fily members that the bridges were named after. Its a wonderful weekend trip with lots of wineries and restraunts to eat at.

  147. i love ohio!! my MIL lives near dayton – definitely head to the USAF museum – i could spend days there!! also, read terri weeks’ book, adventures around cincinnati – she covers a LOT of ohio, and really cool tips!

    Reply

    • We’ve been visiting the USAF museum since my kids were little! It tops the list of one of our all-time favorite museums. There is so much there to see and learn! I so have Terri’s book and plan to use many of her suggestions when I head back to Cincinnati. I’m especially interested in the Sign Museum. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

  148. What an amazing list – you are going to be one busy lady! I have actually never been to Ohio so I look forward to reading about your adventures!

  150. What a great list! We are in Cleveland and have been to some of these places but there’s so many more to see. I’m bookmarking this so the next time we say to ourselves, what should we do?, we’ll have some ideas!

    • Thanks Tesa! I’m so glad you found this list helpful. And while you’re out adventuring, if you find anything really cool, I’d love it if you could tweet me (@travelermom) so I can check it out too! 🙂

  151. I live in Tuscarawas County, which has a lot of great hiking trails at the Norma Johnson Center and The Wilderness Center (which is actually in Stark Co. in Wilmot, but just across the border from Tusc.). We go camping a lot, and we always go to Hocking Hills every year. It’s probably our favorite place in Ohio. Our county borders Holmes County, which is Amish country, so that obviously is a place we go regularly. A state park that we enjoy is Dillon S.P. in Zanesville. It is never crowded and there is a lot to do there. We always stop at Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl when there…yummy! If you’re still looking for suggestions for a unique hotel, try Landoll’s Mohican Castle in Loudonville. We stayed there for our 3rd anniversary and it was MAGICAL! While there, check out Mohican S.P. – my hubby loves it for the mountain-biking. A place we are going to try to make it to this year is Jungle Jim’s International Market in Cincinnati.
    As much as I complain about the weather here, I have to admit that Ohio is an awesome place that offers a lot do. Best wishes on your bucket list!

    • What great suggestions, Linda! I’m so glad you shared your ideas!

      Mohican State Park is near our home so we visit a lot. While we normally just spend the day hiking, we sometimes camp there. Last fall, my husband and I stayed at the resort for a church retreat. We had a great time! Have you been to nearby Malabar State Farm? Not as extensive as Mohican, but there are hiking trails there as well- one leads to a cave that you can actually walk through and climb out of.

      We stayed at Landoll’s last July for our anniversary and loved it. You can see my pictures and post here: https://travelinspiredliving.com/landolls-mohican-castle/ I can’t wait to go back. While we were there we took a carriage ride. The driver told us that winter is the best time to visit because they do sleigh rides. I’ve been dying to go back since we got snow! Landoll’s actually spoiled my husband, since then he’s decided that he won’t stay in a normal hotel room again if it’s a trip for he and I! Too funny!

      I would love to hear your recommendations for Amish Country. I’ve been there many times, but it’s beginning to feel like I see the same things each time- Heini’s Cheese Factory, Kaufmann’s Bakery, etc. This year I’d love to visit Behalt!

      I will definitely look into the state parks that you suggested and next time we’re in Zanesville I’m sure my teens wouldn’t complain too much if we stopped at Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl!

      I always complained about living in Ohio until we began traveling with my husband’s job and weren’t able to visit the things here that I loved. I do really hate the cold, but more than that, I hated the Alabama heat in the middle of July! 😉 Atleast when it’s cold in Ohio, I can bundle up and relax near a fire. When it’s hot in the South, it’s only legal to remove so much clothing! Ha!

      Jungle Jim’s International Market is a blast! Make sure you double check the times for the tours and find out in advance when they’ll have the food samples out. We went in the evening and it was pretty quiet with no samples. I was disappointed. 🙁

      • Yes, we went to Malabar Farm this past summer, but didn’t hike. We just did the tour – it was super hot that day, so I don’t think my 4-year-old would have lasted long on a hike (probably mama wouldn’t either!) We’re definitely going back there again this year – they have some festivals coming up in the spring and summer that we’d like to go to.
        Sorry, I missed that you already went to Landoll’s – I just stumbled upon your blog today when I was on a bunny trail. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
        We also tend to get in a rut with Amish Country…Heini’s, Flea Markets, Berlin, etc. We went to The Farm at Walnut Creek this past summer and loved it. They actually provide sleigh rides in the winter if there is enough snow on the ground – you still get to see most of the animals, but by sleigh! If you go to Sugarcreek, they offer wagon rides through town in the summer. They also have their 50’s Fling in June and the Swiss Fesitval in September. We also like Charm – Keim’s Lumber is more than a hardware store and Grandma’s serves up a great Amish breakfast. I’ll let you know if I think of anything more.
        Thanks for the advice on Jungle Jim’s! I definitely will keep my eye on your blog now that I’ve found it. We also are homeschooling and love to travel, so we have a lot in common!

          • We love flea markets so I’ll definitely add these to my bucket list. I’m beginning to think my list is going to turn into a monster. 🙂

      • I found your blog through pinterest, fascinating read. I had no idea there were so many things to do in Ohio. If you are still looking for suggestions, there is an Amish run restaurant in Wilmot in Stark county called the Amish door. It would be a good place to visit if you were to also visit the Wilderness Center in Wilmot. In Beach City, just a couple miles from there, is a place called Baylor’s Beach where families can swim, play miniature golf, and camp. Thrre are also two camps near by: Camp Wanake and Camp Buckeye. There are a lot of amazing sights at Camp Buckeye.

        A factory tour you could go on could be Harry London’s in Canton.

        • I’ve heard great things about the Amish Door. It would be a great place to eat next time I’m in Amish Country. I’ve never heard of the Wilderness Center or the camps. Harry London’s has the best chocolate! I can’t wait to visit again for some delicious samples. Thanks for sharing!

      • Hi all, just want to say, I too love the Mohican State park area, in fact, love it so much and visited the area so often I started a Luxury cabin rental business. There is just so much to do in the area with Malabar farms, pleasant hill lake, horseback riding, canoeing, mountain biking, minerature golf, zip lines. I could go on and on there is so much to do. You can see our cabins at mohicanpines.com. , we now have three total all with hot tubs, fireplaces and fire pits.

    • Sounds great! I’ll give you a call and we can figure out what to do. I have a few ideas that our families can do together too if your hubbie is up for it. 🙂

  153. I went on a trip to Ohio when my husband and I were still dating. As an AA-er we stopped by Dr.Bob’s house in Akron. Even if someone’s not AA, the history of that home and the many different people who detoxed and became sober is a remarkable thing. Great experience visiting.

    We also hit the Quaker Oats factory. Delicious! Highly recommend it the drive 🙂

  154. My kids and I visited a beach last summer that was small, but had a really neat waterfall. It is great for dog owners because many of the locals walk their dogs on the beach. My kids loved the waterfall and climbed up and down almost the entire time we were there and did very little swimming. Here is a link to the website http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/coastal/Coastal_Main_Menu/LEPAG/Cu_ColumbiaPark/tabid/22771/Default.aspx
    I loved it so much because it was quiet and we were the only actual beach goers without a dog, the dog owners just walked their dogs and then left.
    That was during the week that I took my kids and a friend (or two or three) and visited something different each day. We went to Seneca Caverns, Akron Zoo (with a side trip to Mr Bulky’s), COSI, the Santa Maria museum, Topiary Gadens, Lake Erie Nature and Science Center (LENSC), Columbia Park Beach, and finished out the week with the Crestline pool and Kingwood Center. I hadn’t been to any of those places before except the Crestline pool and Kingwood Center. It was fun finding new things to do with the kids and I am hoping to do a vacation like that again for them this year.

    I want to go on some of your road trips with you 🙂 Maybe we could plan a couple together.

    Reply

    • Thanks for the tip. I’m going to plan on checking out that beach. When the kids were little we found a wonderful beach along Lake Erie that wasn’t very crowded and we spent the entire day there. I think it was near Huron. I wish I remembered which one it was. It would be fun to revisit now that my kids are older.

      We’ll definitely plan some day trips this summer when your little ones are out of school. I have some ideas that would be perfect for them! And I think you’ll enjoy them too! 🙂

      • The beach in Huron was more than likely Nickelplate Beach or the park beach by the Episcopal church. Either are great! But when in Huron you have to get orange sherbet from the Pied Pipe.

  155. I was always under the impression Amish made Pennsylvania home, thanks for pointing out its your state! This post makes me want to visit now!

    • I know, shocking right? A 2012 census shows that the Amish population in Ohio has bypassed that of Lancaster, PA. When I was little, my family took a trip to PA just to see Amish Country. Now I can drive an hour from my home. You should visit Ohio, Xenia. I’m a great tour guide. You know, there are several blogging conferences next year in the Buckeye State. 🙂

      • I want to hit Cuyahoga National Park and Hocking Hills in Ohio. We are not too far from you guys here in Illinois. I did not know that about the Amish though, I had thought about visiting Lancaster County but Ohio is closer :). What blogging conferences are there? I’ve been thinking about going to one, but I wasn’t sure how to find where they are located. The only one I know of is through TBEX and that one is in Toronto this year. Love the idea of checking out your home state, I should do some of my own research on my home state.

        Reply

        • Cuyahoga National Park is on my list to visit. I’d actually like to take my train ride through the park in the fall. I think it’d be beautiful. Hocking Hills is beautiful. My parent’s visit often and had raved about it for years but we never went. After we finally did make the trek (under two hours from my house, not bad at all), and saw how beautiful the area was, we decided we needed to visit at least once a year. This year my goal is to find another trail to love there.

    • We have TONS of Amish & Mennonites here. I live in Hardin co. There are also a ton east of here in Holmes county & south in Vinton co. 🙂 People from Columbus say they are going to “Amish Country” They are referring to hardin co! So funny. 🙂

      • I spent the day earlier this week in Holmes County with my parents’. We try to go a couple times a year. It was a bit early in the season, as some attractions aren’t open yet but we did buy some great Amish Home Bakes! 🙂

        Reply

      • I live in Hardin County as well. I need not travel far for a real AUTHENTIC Amish experience. I’ve been to Holmes County several times and it is so commercialized. It is all about the tourism and selling rather than a true Amish experience. Over the years I have became friends with some Amish families in Hardin Co. and they are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. My family and I have been lucky enough to be invited in and shown the loom that’s used for making rugs, the medicine and supplies, and how they prepare the milk for pick up just to name a few. I can honestly say that I’ll never go anywhere else to see genuine Amish families and their way of living especially since they are only about 20 miles away.
