Places to shoot near in Eastern Ohio and Columbus?

We are heading back home to Ohio for a wedding in September. We stay at Jennifer's parents which is across the Ohio River from Wheeling, WVa.

While we are there I usually make it over to Wheeling to shoot at Ogelby Park, the Good Zoo and such. Is there some place else that is a must shoot place in eastern Ohio, Northwest WVa or Southwest PA?

While there we are also heading to Columbus to stay at her brothers for a few days, just curious if there is any place around the central Ohio/Columbus area that is a must stop.

I am originally from Dayton and know a lot of places there, though we rarely if ever make it over to that side of the state.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

 

Thank you for the response and the info!

We are actually members to the Lowry Park Zoo here in Tampa and get into the Columbus Zoo free, so always make that a stop while we are there.

The Wilds and the Dawes Arboretum sound really awesome. I can't believe I haven't heard of them before, they are definately being added to the list.

Bob,

Just got back from Ohio today and we had planned on making it to the Wilds, but it ended up a no go.

We had a wedding the first weekend so had planned on going Wed. morning on the way back to Jen's parents from Columbus. We checked their schedule again while in Columbus when we discovered this small tidbit:

So we called to see if we could schedule a tour and they told us they weren't doing tours other than the regular weekend tours. :frown:

Guess we will have to make it on the next trip.
