Looking to mix things up with a special outing? A trip to Ohio Station Outlets just might hit the spot. This unique outlet mall offers savvy shoppers a chance to save, and it has a vibe that differs a bit from your standard shopping mall. With a train-themed atmosphere and family-friendly shops, there’s something for everyone at this cool stretch of shops. Check it out:
Welcome to Ohio Station Outlets, a fun train-themed shopping center in the Lodi/Burbank area.
This is a charming exurban shopping center, meaning it is located in an area that's not too densely populated. It is about 45 minutes from home, but it makes for a cool day trip destination.
If you lurk in the clearance section, you might score some even bigger deals!

Like many outlet malls, Ohio Station is largely open-air. Since you'll be spending a bit of time walking outside, you'll want to dress for the weather.
In the colder months, this mall can feel like a bit of a wind tunnel. In the warmer months, its shaded walkways offer much needed escape from the hot sun.
And you'll want to wear the right footwear to walk on concrete but, if you don't, there are local stores that can help with that.
Buckin' Ohio is a unique rodeo in the Burbank area. Here, specially trained riders interact with bulls, horses, barrels, and all sorts of Wild West vibes. Bring your cowboy hat for the show... you'll want to look the part!
And right around the corner is Killbuck Lakes, a lovely little nature preserve that's gorgeous year-round.
Killbuck Lakes, 7996 White Rd, Burbank, OH 44214, USA
This 411-acre park features a 47-acre lake that's always entertaining waterfowl. Bring your fishing pole, because this lake is stocked with an admirable variety of fish.
