Haunted Houses and Scary Movies aren't for everyone, and if you have small kids, or kids that are a few years apart in age, it can be tough to find a fun Halloween activity for the whole family to enjoy together.

From local Costumed-Pet-Parades and indoor trick or treating at the IX Center, to Pumpkin patches and Kid Friendly days at Cedar Point, there is far more family friendly stuff to do now than ever before.

FOX 8 Cleveland has this great list with area event details and links to Northeast Ohio attractions, HERE

Well, the secret is out.  Since we live here it can be hard to appreciate all the cool things that the Buckeye State has to offer, but to folks that live in a way less-fun state (which is apparently most of them) I guess that makes Ohio a destination for fun!  A recent Survey by Wallethub.com has Ohio's "Nightlife" ranked in the Top 10, and in the Top 20 for "Entertainment and Recreation".  We knew all that already though, Right?  For more about how Ohio is better than most other places, CLICK to see the full results of the survey.

If you want to find someplace new to cool off this summer, I found this great list of outdoor waterparks in North East Ohio on FOX 8 Cleveland... I've been to at least half of these, and the attractions at each range from all ages to the more experienced adventurer.  There are other parks of course if you want to drive a little farther, but if you are in the Akron area some of these may be a lot closer than you think, and most are within a 90 minute drive!  Feel free to comment about your favorite or add another one to the LIST!
