10 Sightseeing Tours in Ohio That You Shouldn't Miss

April 15, 2022 Jeremy Dunfee

If you are looking for an active place to stay with world-class attractions, Ohio’s major cities can satisfy any vacation desire. Each offers its own distinct flavor of fun, from professional sports – Bengals (Cincinnati), Cavaliers (Cleveland) and Indians (Cleveland again) – to museums, outdoor activities and more. One of the most famous is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. If football is your thing, don’t miss the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. For the science-minded, visit the meat eaters at the Carnivore Conservation Center in the Wilds near Cambridge, dedicated to the breeding and scientific study of endangered mid-sized carnivores. Kids will also love Planet Snoopy in Sandusky or the Columbus Zoo’s Zoombezi Bay Waterpark and Jack’s Landing rides.

The WACO Airplane Company was the largest producer of civil aircraft in the 20's and 30's. WACO Air Museum was formed to honor the employees who made it great. WACO also designed and produced the CG4A glider used in WW II. Plan to spend at least an hour by listening to the audio tour (now available with QR codes and your phone). We have a Glider Theater with footage from WW II and you can try your hand at the WACO simulator. There are 10 airplanes on display along with factory memorabilia. Experience the Golden Age of Aviation by taking a ride in an open cockpit bi-plane. Call ahead for reservations.

The museum features many parts of WACO aviation. If you are an aviation lover, then you'll want to mark your calendar for the WACO fly-in. It was spectacular seeing all of the old planes. It was a great turn out. You can get a ride in a beautiful red or yellow WACO plane.

We saw 2 Bald Eagles! Also loved Dawn's knowledge of the Island! We had an amazing time on the Bike tour last year, so this year we opted for a kayak tour. With a launch from the East side of the island we were able to discover an area we had not yet explored. The rock beach at Scheele Preserve was beautiful and again - the eagles! Wow! Dawn is an amazing tour guide and we will surely do another tour next year!
