If you’ve never been to a Maple Syrup Festival, you should consider going this year. Many parks and farms in Northeast Ohio provide a chance for people to come learn about the process of turning sap into maple syrup. You’ll learn about tapping trees, how the sap is collected, and how the sap is boiled down and turned into maple syrup. Some events even offer pancake breakfasts and opportunities to purchase maple syrup and candy.

Take the kids to one (or more) Easter egg hunts

In addition to golf, BigShots offers food and drinks so you can snack while playing. They are open no matter the weather as they have heated tee docs.
