Kick off the season with unforgettable family fun in Chillicothe! Let your kids marvel at the incredible earthworks at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site that turns curiosity into discovery. Then head downtown for retro delights—pinball games and an old-fashioned soda counter at Chillicothe Antique Emporium and the candy wonderland that is Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop.
Celebrate local culture at the Feast of the Flowering Moon Festival, held every Memorial Day weekend in Yoctangee Park. With Native American music, dancing crafts, food, and a full lineup of family-friendly entertainment, it’s a
celebration your whole crew will love.
Get creative with pottery painting, wander through unique local shops, and enjoy mouthwatering meals at family-friendly restaurants that serve up something for every taste. When you're ready for fresh air, explore Yoctangee Park’s playgrounds and lakeside paths, or venture onto 200+ miles of scenic trails winding through the beautiful southern
Ohio foothills.
