With the new year coming up, it’s time to start thinking about where you want to go in 2017 and what you want to do.

Fortunately, you don’t always have to travel very far at all to have a great year full of fun and adventure if you live in Ohio. Last year, we compiled a bucket list of things to do and see in Ohio. This year, we want to do the same with new locations and hidden gems you probably don’t know about. After you’ve seen the revamped Pro Football Hall of Fame and you’ve survived the newest roller coaster at Cedar Point, consider visiting these lesser-known attractions. From underrated eateries to outdoor adventures, here are 17 places you should go in Ohio in 2017.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!
