Family Spring Break in the Hocking Hills
Book your cabin, pack your bags, load up the car and kids, and head to the Hocking Hills this Spring!
Take a Hike
You might think hiking is too hard for younger kids. Think again!
The Hocking Hills has many shorter, easier trails that are perfect to bring your little ones on. Whether you're carrying your toddler or letting your kids hike along with you, you have many trail options to check out here.
A favorite family trail is Ash Cave. As you're hiking to the waterfall, you will feel like you are in another world, and have plenty of chances to see wildlife swimming around. Once you get there, you will have a spectacular view of the fall and plenty of room for your kids to run off some extra energy.
For older kids check out Cedar Falls! Have them pack an explorer's pack with snacks, water, and Mother Nature's Classroom and hit the trail!
Education Specialist, Rebecca Miller of the Hocking County Soil and Water Conservation, has created an exciting packet of activities to do while in the parks, hiking on the trails, or in your own backyard! These fantastic fun projects are a great place to start your outdoor journey as a family. This packet consists of 7 projects and is perfect for preschool-Jr. High with suggested modifications.

See the Stars
The perfect way to end a day exploring is with a stop at one of our newest attractions: the John Glenn Astronomy Park.
Here your kids can discover the wonders of the universe as they look to the skies. It's the perfect place to learn about stars and encourage little budding astronomers to discover stars and planets that they never knew existed.
