One of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes, it towers 65 feet into the air.

This is such a beautiful, peaceful place to visit. Plenty of benches and tables to rest. I got to meet a gentleman that was painting the sign. Really nice guy. Keep up the good work.

For more than 140 years, Lakeside Chautauqua has welcomed families to the Lake Erie shore to take part in a summer Chautauqua experience dedicated to nurturing mind, body and spirit. Lakeside Chautauqua is an historic community in Ohio that offers an abundance of spiritual opportunities, educational lectures, cultural arts performances and recreational activities during its 10-week summer programming season. It is also a year-round destination for groups of all sizes.

While Lakeside is a great spot for families, with lots of kid activities, it's also great for grown-ups who need a break. I look so forward to sunset strolls, lots of reading on the pier or the porch, and the slower Lakeside pace. This year a new dining spot made the trip even better -- don't miss the Bluebird Cafe.

Glacial grooves in the bedrock pretty awesome very nice information signage and walkway. This is natural history at its best. Wisconsin glacial period left giant grooves in the bed rock exposed during a quarry operation. Very nicely preserved and present it for the public.

This place was fantastic, especially if you like old time carousels. There are lots of old carousel horses and other animals. Tour was very informative and a ride on the carousel brought back many childhood memories. The Museum is in the old Sandusky Post Office Building adding to the allure of the attraction.

Did not know this museum existed. I thought it was very nice with some interesting aircraft and military equipment. Had a lot of neat items. Still expanding so it will be very good soon.

We visited the site by boat. It is remarkable it is still well maintained. It is between two homes on Johnson Island sand I am sure the ghosts are enjoying the beautiful view.

More than just an amusement park, Cedar Point features hotels, restaurants, beautiful grounds along with an impressive variety of thrill-rides.

I just read your new ticket prices for adults are $72..... This is very expensive and disappointing. I’m hoping you will reconsider those prices, as every year they seem to go up and up and up..... The lines are too long to pay that much.
8. Kelleys Island State Park

Reviewed By Cleanhotels - Columbus, Ohio
There is a HUGE water conditions sign in the park....stay out if green algae exsists. Parents had toddlers sitting in it. Just gross. As for the island, rent a golf cart. Yes, you could walk....if VERY fit. $14 an hour for a golf cart is well worth it. It also provides a nice breeze during the July heat and gives you an opportunity to leave towels water etc. We had hoped to see black squirrels, like on Put-n-Bay island but not sure if they are on Kelleys Island. A nice ferry ride, a few shops to grab drinks or snacks along your hike or golf cart trek, the glacial grooves are inspiring to look at. We had fun, just wish Lake Erie wasn't so smarmy.

Taking a ferry has always been fun for us because we don't have a boat and this is a way for us to see some of the lake. More importantly, the ride doesn't take long to get over to the island where the fun can really begin. Prices are fair and the service is really good.

I double checked their website and do not see anything about them being seasonal. I was a bit disappointed to hear most of the walk through was closed and Giraffes were not out (I believe regulations say the temperature has be be above 50 or 60 degrees to have them out).
While I understand being seasonal and that is what you need to do for the animals - but sure to note that somewhere BEFORE arriving to find out.
That being said - even though many of the animals were not there - we still had a great time. My 8 year old loved it. The animals can be a bit intimidating - and we put our windows up a few times. But it was a great time.
The price (even for off season) was really not bad. There are coupons around (even on their website) - so plan ahead.
