You’ll Never Forget Where These 7 Road Trips In Ohio Will Take You
Here in Ohio there are several destinations that require more than a day’s trip to get the full experience. From city skylines and shopping in The Three C’s to breathtakingly beautiful nature getaways, Ohio truly has it all. The following are must-do activities (aside from shopping) or necessary stops to make in what we consider to be the best road trip destinations our state has to offer.
Take a few days to explore Ohio's very own island life.
Enjoy the beaches and waters of Lake Erie.
Be sure to visit Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial.
...and tour the island by train or golf cart to ensure you see it all.
Ride every roller coaster you possibly can as many times as you possibly can at Cedar Point (AKA, the Roller Coaster Capital of the World.)
Then take a day dedicated to fun in the sun at Cedar Point's neighboring Soak City.
...and end the trip with a serene picnic along the shores of Lake Erie and a tour of Marblehead Lighthouse and the lighthouse's museum.
Shop and dine in the state's capital.

...explore Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls and multiple other beautiful landmarks along the hiking trails...
...and even zip line.
After you've shopped, dined and spent the night in the city, spend a day at Kings Island, which is one of Ohio's beloved amusement parks (and it's just a short drive from the city.)
Then spend a day (or night) at Great Wolf Lodge, a popular indoor waterpark.
End the trip with a short drive to Loveland, where you can find the Loveland Castle to explore inside and out for a small fee.
