Ohio

Here are some of the benefits of visiting Ohio during the shoulder seasons:

• Mild weather: Ohio has a humid continental climate, with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. The shoulder seasons offer pleasant temperatures, making them ideal for sightseeing, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors.
• Smaller crowds: The shoulder seasons are less crowded than the peak summer season, so you’ll be able to enjoy Ohio’s popular tourist attractions without having to deal with large crowds. This is especially important if you’re visiting popular destinations like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.
• Lower prices: Prices for flights, accommodation, and activities are generally lower during the shoulder seasons than during the peak summer season. This means you can save money on your trip without having to sacrifice quality.

Here are some specific examples of how you can enjoy the most of Ohio during the shoulder seasons:

• Spring (April to June): The weather in spring is typically sunny and mild, with occasional showers. This is a great time to visit for attending the Cincinnati Reds baseball games, visiting the Ohio State Fairgrounds, and hiking in the Hocking Hills State Park.
• Autumn (September to October): The weather in autumn is also typically sunny and mild, with occasional showers. This is a great time to visit for leaf peeping in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, visiting the pumpkin patches, and attending the Halloween festivities in Salem.

While there are many great times to visit Ohio, if you’re looking for the best weather and the most opportunities to enjoy the state’s diverse attractions, then we recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn.
