Patricia Schultzs bestselling book, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, has inspired travelers around the world. But some of the places she listslike Okavango Delta in Botswana and the Great Wall of Chinamight tax the family budget a bit.
Still, its possible, for anyone living in the Cincinnati area, to enjoy a startling array of sights and experiences that are within a half-days driving distance, and all (with the possible exception of the sporting events) are thoroughly affordable. And who knows? After tackling these, you might have saved enough time and money to run off to several of Schultzs sites.
1. Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Just a half-days drive from Cincinnati is one of the most beautiful places on Gods green earth. Fauna, flora, forest and falls make this national park a sight not to be missed.
2. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, on the shores of Lake Erie is a sensory and memory delight for music fans of all ages.
3. The Kentucky Derby. "The important to budget travel is to plan onward. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Planning and consuming our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Curbing consuming and costs, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind protecting money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". Held the first weekend of May each year, the run for the roses and first leg of horse racings triple crown, is a singular experience, whether youre otherwise interested in horses or not.
4. Tecumseh Outdoor Drama. Staged at Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre near Chillicothe, Ohio, this story of the legendary Shawnee leader, with galloping horses, live cannon, and first-rate production values, is a unique live theater presentation.
5. Ride a real riverboat. Though the historic Delta Queen is now a Chattanooga hotel, the Belle of Louisville still cruises the Ohio River from beautiful Waterfront Park in Louisville.
6. Put-in-Bay. Located on two-by-four-mile South Bass Island in Lake Erie, north of Sandusky, Put-in-Bay affords scenery, fishing, shopping, dining, and more. Nearby Kelleys Island is quieter and more natural.
7. Amish Country. A visit to Holmes County, Ohio, or the northern Indiana communities of Goshen, Nappanee, and Shipshewana, can turn back the clock to a simpler time. Amish farms, crafts, cooking, museums, and more will charm all ages.
8. Mammoth Cave. The awe-inspiring underground scenery of the worlds largest cave system is just a couple hours drive south of Cincinnati, at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky.
9. The Indianapolis 500. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, more than a hundred years old, hosts the granddaddy of all auto racing events every year, on the last weekend in May.
10. The Cleveland Arcade. Once known as Clevelands Crystal Palace, the Arcade was one of the first indoor shopping malls in the nation. Now, more than 120 years later, it is still breathtaking.
These are not the only places in our area that are worth seeing before you die. But they are some of the best. And they are a good start.
