\n \nDiscover the best and most unusual getaway ideas in and around Ohio \n \nLongtime TV travel reporter Neil Zurcher has driven more than a million miles in Ohio and nearby states to find great local travel destinations for his One Tank Trips reports. This book collects his all-time favorites, including . . .\n \n- \nThe world's largest indoor train display.\n \n- \nThe certified best spot in the state for stargazing.\n \n- \nOhio's top FREE attraction.\n \n- \nA historic village where you can ride an authentic replica canal boat.\n \n- \nBeautiful bridges, including the world's longest covered bridge.\n \n- \nTwo haunted state reformatories.\n \n- \nA ride-through wildlife park with 500 exotic animals from six continents.\n \n- \nOne of the last open-air drive-in restaurants, unchanged since the 1950s.\n \n- \nA place where you can drag-race in your family car--legally \n \n- \nAn Amish hardware store selling all non-electric tools, appliances, toys, and more.\n \n- \nThe only World War II submarine still in original condition.\n \n- \nThe Center of the World--really.\n \n- \nAnd dozens of other special places\n \nNeil Zurcher writes . . .\n \nI skipped over the obvious big super attractions because you have probably already heard about them or have been there. What I try to do is direct you to lesser known, hidden away gems in the tourist world that might not attract lots of attention, but are still very worthwhile as a place to visit.\n \nI've tried to mix in destinations that my viewers and readers have told me they also enjoyed. Whether it was a slice of real prize-winning home-made pie in a diner in Jefferson, Ohio or a chance to fly on a life-size replica of the first airplane sold by the Wright Brothers in Dayton. I show you where you can sail across tree-tops and crawl through rock caverns. There is even a park in northwest Ohio where you, and the kids, can dig for prehistoric life.\n \nNo matter what you like to do on a holiday or vacation, I think you will find something in this book to excite and entertain you.\n
