    1. Hocking Hills State Park. Did you know that Hocking Hills is home to over 25 miles of hiking trails, cliffs, waterfalls, and caves?

You can enjoy your day at Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm playing put-put, feeding animals, and enjoying fresh ice cream; explore Glen Helen Nature Preserve and Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve; or discover what the town has to offer with their local boutiques and health food restaurants and shops. 

    3. Amish Country. How cool is it that Ohio has its own Amish Country? Nestled in Holmes County, Berlin is a must for all things Amish. Spend your day shopping for hand-made furniture, gifts, and foods, enjoy a horse and buggy ride, and dine at any of the delicious restaurants Berlin has to offer. The town also boasts an RV and campground that’s just two miles away from the downtown area. This park offers free Wi-Fi, an herb garden where guests can pick their own herbs and a new pavilion. 

    4. Ohio’s Zoos. Ohio is home to five zoos located in Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati, and Toledo. There are also two safari-like parks in in Cumberland and Port Clinton.
