A great place for a staycation would be the walking paths in the gorge. There are a ton of paths with caves to explore. Ohio also has a tremendous amount of trails to follow like Hocking Hills, Nelson Ledges, etc. to just name a few.

Camping at Silver Springs is always fun. You can hike around there or play on the playground (for the young AND young at heart!). Of course, there is fishing for those so inclined. These cool spring evenings are perfect for a campfire with S'mores and silly songs!

I take my son to Pump It Up on Hudson Dr it is great and they do parties plus the adults are also allowed on the bounce stuff and it is only $7 per child and open jump nights are usually on Wed from 5:30-7:30 pm.

Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library has so many programs and activities it can be a destination itself and certainly has the information needed to do many things.

Stow-Kent Family Entertainment has something for everybody. My family goes there almost every day of the week.

The new nature perserve behind skip park! it is absolutly beatiful!!!

My faves: our library (especially the bubble lady program in the summer, and the nights the community jazz band plays), Soar playground &the the fields around it, and bowling at Stow-Kent lanes.

I have never been, but I'm considering going zip lining at Hocking Hills Adventure Park. FYI, it's Ohio Tourism Week on Groupon through May 13, so there are some great ideas and savings there! http://www.groupon.com/promos/ohio-tourism-week

What about the water park, Leisure Time?

I second the nomination for camping at Silver Springs! We've been going since 2000 and haven't missed a summer since then. My kids have practically grown up there!

stow gymnastics play center has something for everyone, and you can come for open play every day all day till 5! for only 5 bucks a day or 40 a month :0)

My family really likes Leasure Time! The pool never feels overly crowded , they have fun parties for kids and adults. The golf course is nice too!
