The open­ing of WindSeeker, Kings Island’s newest ride, is just the lat­est of many rea­sons why fam­i­lies would want to visit Warren County, accord­ing to offi­cials at the Warren County Convention & Visitors Bureau (WCCVB). Pre-packaged vaca­tions, excel­lent value and a diverse range of indoor and out­door options all com­bine to make Warren County Ohio’s Largest Playground.

Today we decided to mix it up a bit, and take a small detour. “Let’s visit Metropolis, home of Superman,” I sug­gested. Everyone said “OK, why not?”

Ozone Zipline Adventures is the largest zip line canopy tour in the Midwest and it’s get­ting big­ger. Ozone is adding two new 1,500-foot-long lines which will be 200 feet above the Little Miami River and will con­nect Ozone to Fort Ancient near the North Watch.

On Day Three we left our cab­ins on the Caddo River for a day trip to nearby Wegner’s Quartz Mine in Mount Ida, Arkansas. What we didn’t find in dia­monds yes­ter­day, we fig­ured we’d make up for in quartz today. We were right, and then some!
