For a welcome change from visiting museums and workshops you can head for the great outdoors and take the children to spend a day in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. If you are traveling with older children you can all hire bikes and enjoy a ride along the beautiful Towpath Trail which runs all the way through the park. The trail is also perfect for hikers who can enjoy excellent bird watching along the way. Younger children will probably prefer a ride on the vintage Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad which runs between Independence and Akron on Saturdays and Sundays, offering great views of the park and the chance to visit scenic Peninsula.
