There is more to the Midwest than just cornfields and football rivalries. This two-day family-fun trip will take travelers through major Midwestern cities in Ohio and Indiana, including Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. You'll explore some of the coolest museums and nearby cultural attractions all free of charge.
You will start in the "Glass City" of Toledo, Ohio, at the Museum of Art, famous for its glass collections and famous works from greats like Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh. The whole family can revel in the glassblowing studio, where you can take glass-making classes and make your own glass art. You will then venture to Dayton, Ohio, to tap into US history at the National Museum of the US Air Force, the largest military aviation museum in the world, with more than 360 aircraft and missiles on display. Kids and adults will love to view the towering airplanes and walk into famous aircraft like JFK's Air Force One. You will end day one in Cincinnati, Ohio, exploring the cityscape.
On day two you will begin at Cincinnati's famous and historic zoo, which is the second oldest zoo in the country. You'll view manatees, reptiles, and Cincinnati's famous hippo, Fiona. You will depart Cincinnati and then make your way to Indianapolis, Indiana, to walk the interactive canal and explore a laidback neighborhood for an early dinner. You'll stop at the Flowing Well Park in Carmel, Indiana, to drink crisp water from a natural artesian well before heading back home.
