Fun's happening RIGHT NOW in Ohio's Largest Playground, so why wait for the weekend?
Kings Island: Thanks to its well-deserved reputation as one of America's most incredible amusement parks, Kings Island can get awfully busy during peak-season weekends. Fortunately, the park operates seven days a week from Memorial Day through early August each year, giving savvy theme park planners a chance to minimize their wait times and maximize their thrills by visiting Monday through Thursday.
Miami Valley Gaming: Home to nearly 2,000 electronic gaming machines, a top-notch lineup of on-site restaurants, live music, harness racing and more incredible entertainment, Warren County's Miami Valley Gaming ranks as one of the Midwest's most popular and state-of-the-art racinos. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it's also one of the region's best bets for round-the-clock fun.
Great Wolf Lodge
Winter, spring, summer and fall, the incredible indoor water park at Great Wolf Lodge is always open and always 84 degrees! An extremely popular pick for weekend travelers (and rightfully so), Great Wolf offers its mid-week adventurers an even sweeter experience thanks to some truly unbeatable weekday deals. In fact, leading your pack to GWL on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday could save you hundreds, and those smaller mid-week crowds mean more rides on the water slides, too!
Camp Cedar
One of Ohio's most awesomely unique lodging establishments, Mason's Camp Cedar treats visitors to all the excitement of a classic family camping trip, but with a modern, luxurious twist. Featuring comfortable, fully equipped cabins complete with WiFi, TV, AC and more outstanding amenities, the incredible outdoorsy resort is also home to an on-site bar and restaurant, a fully-stocked camp store, two beautiful pools, a shuttle service for nearby Kings Island and even a golf simulator! Much like its neighbors at Great Wolf Lodge, Camp Cedar offers mid-week travelers terrific deals, helping them stretch their wallets (and vacations!) a little further.
Outdoorsy Adventures:
Featuring more than 40,000 acres of land designated by the Ohio Department of Natural resources, including miles upon miles of breathtaking trails, a relaxing recreational river, a sprawling state park and even skyscraping ziplines, Warren County is one of the Buckeye State’s best bets for outdoor excitement seven days a week! Caesar Creek State Park, Ozone Zipline Adventures, the Little Miami Scenic Trail, Little Miami Canoe Rental and Rivers Edge Outfitters all offer weekday operation throughout the year (and are often far less crowded for those who can take advantage). Warren County's community parks and outstanding collection of golf courses are also open to mid-week adventurers, as is the Ohio's Largest Playground GeoTour!
(Note: Some outdoor attractions operate seasonally. Hours may also be impacted by weather)
Historical Highlights
Home to one of Ohio's first and only World Heritage sites, incredible aviation achievement, original Quaker and Shaker settlements, awe-inspiring Underground Railroad locations and more historical highlights, Warren County's a must-stop spot for history buffs.
