Ohio Roadside Attractions

Welcome to Ohio, where the roadside attractions are as hearty as a bowl of buckeye candy and just as sweet to explore! This is the state that turns everyday objects into enormous wonders, like Longaberger’s World’s Largest Picnic Basket—a building so charmingly absurd, you’ll be tempted to pack a sandwich the size of a car. Oh, and if you’ve ever dreamed of wandering through a Field of Giant Corn Cobs, you’re in luck. Only in Ohio can your road trip feel like a stroll through a supersized produce aisle!

But there’s more! Fans of classic holiday movies can step into Ralphie’s shoes at the A Christmas Story House in Cleveland. It’s the perfect spot to relive your favorite moments, like yearning for a Red Ryder BB gun or admiring the prize-worthy leg lamp. And if you need to keep time on this whimsical tour, check out the World’s Largest Cuckoo Clock—because what’s better than a massive clock that dances and sings in the middle of Ohio?

Ohio’s roadside attractions will have you grinning ear to ear, whether you’re a fan of oversized novelties, quirky nostalgia, or just stopping to snap some unforgettable pictures. So gas up your car and hit the road—Ohio’s most offbeat and wonderful sights are waiting to welcome you with open arms (and maybe a giant corn cob or two)!
