"If you're a fan of the parks in Ohio, it might interest you to make a trip to Columbus next week. ... MoreThe public is invited to voice their opinion in the development of the Ohio State Park System's Strategic Plan for 2011-2015 at an open house 1-6 p.m. Thursday the 18th at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources headquarters, 2045 Morse Road, Columbus. Participants can express their views on the future of the parks and what should be considered in the plan. For information on Ohio State Parks, visit www.ohiostateparks.org.

"Hey all! There have been no changes to our Zoo plans. However, I have signed us up for group discounts at the Zoo. Unfortunately, due to the special promotion, the group discount price is the same. ... MoreStill, you can purchase special meal packages for lunch at a reduced rate. In order for us to get the best rates, we have to buy more tickets. Each year they see how many tickets your group bought the year before and if you buy a lot, you get a better and better price. Currently, our regular group price during the regular season will be $11 for adults instead of the regular rate of $14. Right now you can buy your $7/4.50 ticket and special meal packages at this page rather than at the door. So, please if you can, go this link and buy your discounted tickets and meals so we can get credit for using the group discount site. The half price ticket is available there so even though you are not getting a larger discount, it would still help our group if you purchased your tickets there. The site is https://tickets.cinci.... In the box where it asks for your store name, enter HikeZoo to enter. Please note you can use this discount page at anytime of the year with or without the group, so please save it to your favorites and use it anytime you have friends or family in town. Feel free to share the info with others not in the group because the more we buy, the less our tickets will be for zoo events next year. As a group, we generally hit the zoo a couple times a year. Thanks. I've updated this Meetup. For more details, see the full listing: http://www.tristatehi...
