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.

A gothic cathedral that has a design similar to Notre Dame in Paris.
Everyone in America should experience this Basilica. This Cathedral is 1/6 the actual size of Notre Dame in Paris. So next time you are in this neck of the woods stop in and be in awe. You don't know what you are missing

This Cathedral is awesome, just a beautiful house of worship. This happened to be a family Confirmation Sunday and the church was filled to capacity.

Marietta, Ohio is one of the earlier Ohio settlements. It's actually named for Marie Antionette due to the French monarchy's support of the American Revolution.Skip the part by the freeway - about 1,000 yards away the actual, nice town begins. This attractive church became a basilica in 2013, although it is much older. In an odd way, it is both a smaller church and a very large one. The footprint isn't all that big, but it is immensely tall with massive stained glass windows and a huge dome. The church has been renovated and is very bright and attractive. The basilica is in a nice neighborhood. If this area were located in, say, Washington DC instead of Ohio, none of us could afford to live here. There are walking tours, both guided and self-guided, of Marietta. This impressive church is well worth a visit either way, and regardless of your religion. Incidentally, the Mound Cemetery, which includes Revolutionary War generals and a large mound, is just a few blocks away, and is very much worth a visit.

We visited on a weekday afternoon to see the Saint Dymphna shrine. The shrine is in the back of the church and you are guided through by a member of the gift shop staff. She was very friendly and let us take our time. While in the church, she gave us a brief history and let us look around and stop for brief prayer. The church is, in my opinion, one of the nicest Catholic churches in the area. It did not cost anything to visit the shrine (unless of course you purchase something from the gift shop.) There is off street parking and we didn't have difficulty finding a spot because we weren't there during a mass. It was a blessing to visit the shrine and church and we would love to come again.
