Here Are The 15 Weirdest Places You Can Possibly Go In Ohio

Ohio can be downright strange. From museums showcasing things swallowed to houses that look like legitimate UFOs, there’s always something weird to observe in Ohio. The following are 15 of what we consider to be the weirdest attractions and destinations in Ohio.

1. Serpent Mound (Bratton Township)

This 1,348-foot-long and three-foot-high prehistoric effigy mound along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County continues to marvel locals and visitors alike.

2. The Temple of Tolerance (Wapakoneta)

Jim Bowsher's home in the small town of Wapakoneta features an impressive museum of artifacts from the America you don't typically read about in history books, and a truly tranquil temple complex in his backyard. The central monument of the temple complex is dedicated to tolerance, and Bowsher continues to add to his unique creation to this day.

3. Findlay Ghost Town

Driving down St. Rt. 68, you might stumble across a sign that points the way to "Ghost Town." Created by the Galitza family, this unique roadside attraction in Findlay features a replica of an 1880s-era ghost town that was first open to the public in the 1950s. Today, the ghost town has an even more authentic ghost town feel due to a lack of upkeep and public attention.

4. Blue Hole (Castalia)

This 1920s popular tourist attraction did not in fact die with the 90s. Castalia State Fish Hatchery holds a another blue hole that's open to public observation and speculation about where this deep, blue water actually comes from.

5. Cornhenge (Dublin)

Ohio has its own version of Stonehenge, thanks to Dublin's Field of Corn, also known as "Cornhenge." (But I highly doubt foreigners would speculate that we use it as a calendar.)

6. Things Swallowed Exhibit (Lima)

The Allen County Museum in Lima houses a peculiar exhibit of things swallowed (and removed. Obviously.)

7. Chippewa Lake Park

Tucked away in Medina County there’s a rusted, long forgotten ferris wheel. What what was once Chippewa Lake Park is now just a few piles of amusement park ruins and the lone ferris wheel. From 1878 to 1978, the amusement park was a popular, thriving destination for family entrainment. Today, remnants of it creepily stand abandoned, rusted and long forgotten. (If you think this abandoned amusement park would have been the perfect location for a horror film, you’re exactly right. In 2008, a cast and crew from Los Angeles filmed “Closed for the Season" here.)
