Getaways Ohio
There are so many things to do in Ohio; it's difficult to find a place to start. Ohio, home of the Pro Football and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is also known as the Buckeye State. It's the place where electricity first lit an entire city (Cleveland) and the town where Thomas Edison developed the light bulb, the phonograph and the earliest model of a motion picture camera.
Ohio is a land of heritage, history and invention; so naturally, there are plenty of things to do here. Some of the best shopping in the country can be found in historic Terminal Tower in Cleveland, as well as the Museum of Art and the Great Lakes Science Center, where visitors learn about environmental issues. Or stroll the shopping attraction at West Side Market in Columbus, where outlet stores beckon bargain hunters year round.
For those interested more in the great outdoors, Ohio boasts over 70 State Parks, forests, lakes, rivers and wilderness areas that provide entertainment year round. In the summertime, Mohican State Park, Hocking Hills State Park or Hueston Woods State Park guarantees a good time whether you're fishing, hunting, camping, hiking or horseback riding. In winter, try your hand (or feet) at downhill skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating or cross-country skiing.
Canton offers tourists the Football Hall of Fame, while Sandusky offers tourists of all ages one of the greatest (and one of the oldest) American amusement parks at Cedar Point. Cleveland hosts the Metroparks Zoo and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Visit Akron, the "rubber capital of the world" or the birthplace of the Wright Brothers in Dayton. Did you know that Ohio was the birthplace of the great American hotdog? Or that it was the first city to use police cars? There's a lot that people don't know about the rich and interesting history of this great state, which also offers visitors and residents plenty of things to do in Ohio. After all, what more can you expect from a state that employs, "Hang On Sloopy" as its state rock song? Ohio is a fun, friendly, invigorating travel destination for millions of Americans every year. Native Ohioans are friendly and would love to show you around their state if you allow them to.
Though ranked 34th in size of all the states, Ohio has a very big heart – and a very large population, especially around Columbus, where 50% of the U.S. lives (within a 500 mile radius)! From museums to festivals, from rock climbing to touring Perkins Observatory, there are so many getaways Ohio that you may need to book your entire vacation here just to explore a small portion of what the state has to offer.
