It’s a bash with lots of splash at Wildwater Kingdom, the

king of waterparks in Northeast Ohio. We’re over owing

with gallons of fun for the whole family. Get drenched

at Splash Landing and Liquid Lightning. Then take on

Thunder Falls, an intertwining maze of tubes, 10 stories

high! And relax in a private cabana at Tidal Wave Bay, our

390,000 gallon wave pool. It’s the wildest, wettest yet!

Welcome

Ohio's Of cial

State Travel Planner

Dear Ohio Traveler:

As a young boy growing up in Pennsylvania my family

would vacation on Lake Erie every summer, and when

we would cross into Ohio my Uncle George would

always say to me, “Johnny, we’ve just entered the

Promised Land.” That’s as true today as it was then.

Ohio is blessed with talented people who have created

incredible museums; visionaries who are preserving

natural areas and our

world’s wildlife; and

innovators working to

educate us and push the

boundaries of human

knowledge. Whether

you are from out-of-

state or a homegrown

Buckeye, I invite you

to see it all and be

fascinated.

Come experience the

Cincinnati Museum

Center’s new exhibit,

Cleopatra: The Search

for the Last Queen

of Egypt, in its only

Midwestern tour stop.

My daughters are already asking me to take them to

the new African Elephant Crossing habitat opening this

spring at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. And earlier

this year, the Columbus Museum of Art opened its

new Center for Creativity, an amazing hands-on area,

as part of a renovation that we celebrated during my

inauguration.

This year the Buckeye State kicks off events

commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War

and the completion of Ohio’s capitol, the Statehouse.

You can join in the commemoration by visiting the new

American Civil War Museum of Ohio opening in Tiffin.

Or, visit sites across the state that tell other important

historical stories, like those of Morgan’s Raiders, the

Fighting McCooks, Rutherford B. Hayes, Harriet Beecher

Stowe, John Rankin, John Parker, and Ulysses S. Grant.

As you enjoy this guide I encourage you to begin

planning your trip with our new itinerary builder on

DiscoverOhio.com. For even more ideas and feedback,

go to @DiscoverOhio on Facebook and Twitter.

Enjoy your Ohio travels. We think you will agree that

Ohio is “Too Much Fun for Just One Day!”

Sincerely,

John R. Kasich, Governor
