Rated the number one zoo in America- need I say more?

Quiet, open park with a very interesting history. The Newark Earthworks in Newark and Heath, Ohio, consist of three sections of preserved earthworks: the Great Circle Earthworks, the Octagon Earthworks, and the Wright Earthworks. The Newark Earthworks are the largest set of geometric earthen enclosures in the world. Already a National Historic Landmark, in 2006, the State of Ohio designated the Newark Earthworks as "the official prehistoric monument of the state." Interpretive signage around the park will help to explain the significance of the site and why American Indians regard the Newark Earthworks as a sacred site. Average visit time: Allow 1+ hours. Guided tours are available July - October:

Great unique and picturesque village about an hour rural drive where you can step back into the story of Ohio’s heritage and are immersed in living history.
The restored 1830s port town is a stage for costumed interpreters and crafters portraying the life of those who lived and worked here.
Group and casual dining can be found at our village restaurants and pubs.
The shops of Roscoe Village offer a variety of unique gifts and several Ohio handcrafted items. The leather shop is my personal favorite. Beautiful gardens and restored Greek revival architecture attract visitors from all over Ohio.
Guests boarding the Monticello III can relax on the horse-drawn canal boat, while listening to stories of life on the Ohio Erie canal as relayed by the Captain. Whatever path may be taken at Roscoe Village leads visitors to a day to remember.
