It’s a children’s museum that a parent can love, it’s a nationally accredited zoo, it’s a top downtown Dayton, Ohio attraction, and it has a name you can set your watch by: the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery brings a whole lot of “yes” to the Midwest. Let’s check it out together.
The history of the Boonshoft [...]
We’ve featured a few car museums and shows in the past – from Florida to Michigan to the warm coast of California – but you wrangle up some experts and chances are they’ll agree that America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio is one of the best. Car Collector magazine even said so, naming it one [...]
It’s obvious that we need to get back up to Dayton, Ohio. A cool town, anyway, they obviously love some sinister fun with a haunted host of Halloween attractions. They’ve got it all – houses, hay rides, hi-tech – but one new attraction stood out.

What better way to get the feel (or should I say “taste”) of a new place than to sample its signature dish? Anyone who practices criminal law will tell you that [...]
Who doesn’t love Jack Hanna (seen here putting David Letterman in mortal danger)? From Good Morning America to the Late Show to what must have been countless appearances on Nickelodeon, my childhood is filled with happy memories of the nation’s favorite animal expert (pre-Steve Irwin), Jungle Jack Hanna.
Of course, at the time I just thought [...]
When Drew Carey opened his sitcom every week with the fist-pumping war cry “Cleveland Rocks!”, he wasn’t being ironic (at least not entirely). The quintessential Cleveland attraction, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is a treat for music fans of all ages, but especially those of “Woodstock” age (and if you were [...]
Museums that Matter is our nationwide exploration of fascinating museums and cultural attractions.
Humble Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s not at the top of many a traveler’s bucket list, and that is truly a shame, because Cincinnati is home to a full host of world-class restaurants, performance venues, festivals and, notably, museums.
Among the most inspiring Cincinnati museums is [...]
