Outdoor Fun Options
Head to the Holden Arboretum and check out the Tower and Canopy Walkway. The tower provides a beautiful view and the canopy walk is so unique and fun. There are also beautiful flower, trails and a kids natural play area.
Get outside and enjoy the many playgrounds across Northeast Ohio . Let the kids run and play on the playgrounds, take a hike along the trails or bring along a Frisbee or ball and have a game of catch.
Check out the animals at one of these petting zoos in Ohio. Majestic Meadows in Medina is one of our favorites and Hershberger’s Farm in Amish country is another great option. You can also get to the Cleveland or Akron Zoo or one of the other Zoos in Ohio.
Or let the kids ride their bike around mini cities at safety village in Stow, safety town at Liberty playground in Independence, or Kiddy City Wooster. Note: The Wooster location is only open select hours so please call ahead if you plan to visit.
A ride along the Towpath Trail is another great option. There are many trail heads where you can start your ride.
Enjoy nature at Wingfoot Park. The park has it all, a large playground, paved trail, story walk path, nature center kayaking and more. If you’re lucky you’ll get to see the Goodyear Blimp land and take off from the hanger across the lake.
Visit the Secrest Arboretum and slide down the HUGE slide built into the side of the hill.
