Major Attractions

Cedar Point Amusement Park

One of the most popular summer destinations in Ohio, the Cedar Point Amusement, is located on Cedar Point Beach. There are more than 17 roller coasters inside the park. The Cedar Point Shores Water Park is adjacent to the amusement park and features many water adventures. The water park has a wave pool, lazy river, and a six-story aqua-drop water slide for people who are feeling a bit adventurous.

Hocking Hills State Park

This natural area is riddled with hiking trails, cottages, caves, and camping facilities. In the fall, the park is quite popular among outdoor enthusiasts and people who want a weekend getaway. The park hosts several events throughout the year that attract many tourists. In addition to that, you can also participate in activities such as zip-lining, rock climbing, and canoeing.

Kings Island

Since its opening in the 1920s, Kings Island has been a favorite attraction for families. There are thrilling roller coasters for adults, including Diamondback and Orion, while Planet Snoopy Kids’ Area keeps the children occupied. The amusement park also contains Soak City, with more than 30 water slides, float lagoons, and wave pools to cool off during summers.

Ohio Caverns

Ohio is home to several caverns; however, the Ohio Caverns are the most extensive cave system. These caves are over a century old and have two miles of underground passages. From the tunnels, you can go almost a hundred feet below the surface and experience geological wonders like the stalactites. The park also has a mining station for gems and fossils, which is extremely popular among children.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has gained the status of a pilgrimage site among music enthusiasts. The museum records the history of some of the most influential and well-known bands, producers, musicians, and other icons who have influenced the music industry throughout history.
