DESTINATION Ohio
Ohio truly is a melting pot in every sense. Our big cities are highlighted by larger-than-life skyscrapers and a thriving city life, while our small towns offer charm, charisma and that “welcome home” feel. Ohio is home to professional teams of every sport; year-round, world-renowned festivals; museums, science centers, zoos and halls of fame that are unlike any other in the entire country; naturalist areas ripe with birding, conservation centers, more than 1,100 miles of hiking trails and 174,000 acres of state parks. Visit one of more than 100 wineries throughout the state, or hear the clip-clop of an Amish buggy in Amish Country—home to the world’s largest Amish population.
