Some of us Ohioans saw our first snow this past weekend, but don’t let that dull your sense of adventure, especially if you’ve got kids. Even when the temperatures turn cold there is still plenty to do around Ohio. I teamed up with Stacie from Little Adventures Await to create a list of 10 fun day trips designed with kids in mind. While we focused on areas within about 90 minutes or so of Columbus, these are easy trips from just about anywhere in Ohio - and fun even if you don’t have kids. So pack some snacks and bundle everyone up for a drive. Most of these include indoor experiences, but some will require some snowsuits and boots and a sense of adventure! 1. Hocking Hills (Logan):
2. Loudonville: Both Mohican and Malabar have a lot to offer, and could easily be day trips on their own. That said, you can also shorten your stay at both and easily see each of these State Parks in one day trip.
3. Yellow Springs:
4. Dayton Air Force Museum Dayton holds enough activities for an entire post of its own, so we decided to stick with just one of its most famous and well-known indoor attractions. Dads and little airplane and space enthusiasts will have lots to explore, and best of all...it is FREE!
5. Mansfield: At about an hour north of Columbus off 71, Mansfield is reasonably close and convenient, and with lots to do there, a great place to check out this winter!
6. Canal Winchester/Lithopolis: Close enough to not be a hassle, but feels a million miles from the city (in a good way!) when you’re there.
7. Delaware: Delaware sits just far enough to our North that it could be considered a day trip, and an opportunity to discover a place you never knew was so close.
8. Springfield:
Springfield is located near Dayton, so you can easily add these stops to a Dayton trip, if you’re up for it! That said, Springfield has a lot to offer, so worth spending a day. Here are a few options of places to check out.
9. West Liberty:
10. Zanesville/Newark: Straight out 70, you’ll find some indoor fun at these two places and make it back home in time for dinner.
And a very special bonus this holiday season... 11. Sugar Creek:
