Out of nearly 18,000 schools evaluated nationwide, Bexley High School snagged the No. 2 spot in Ohio (No. 152 nationally), making it the only Columbus-area school to break into the state’s top 10. The top honors in Ohio went to Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, which ranked No. 91 in the U.S.

But Bexley wasn’t the only local standout.

Several other central Ohio schools landed in the state’s top 50, including:

• Olentangy Liberty High School (No. 12 in Ohio, No. 423 nationally)
• Dublin Jerome High School (No. 14 in Ohio, No. 497 nationally)
• Olentangy High School (No. 16 in Ohio, No. 523 nationally)
• Upper Arlington High School (No. 22 in Ohio, No. 609 nationally)
• Granville High School (No. 27 in Ohio, No. 741 nationally)
• New Albany High School (No. 30 in Ohio, No. 787 nationally)
• Columbus Alternative High School (No. 31 in Ohio, No. 826 nationally)
• Grandview Heights High School (No. 31 in Ohio, No. 887 nationally)
• Olentangy Berlin High School (No. 34 in Ohio, No. 970 nationally)
• Columbus Grove High School (No. 39 in Ohio, No. 1,097 nationally)
• Orange High School (No. 46 in Ohio, No. 1,176 nationally)

To determine rankings, U.S. News looked at test scores (including AP exams), graduation rates, and how schools serve students from underserved backgrounds.

Nationally, the top five schools were BASIS Tucson North (AZ), Signature School (IN), Central Magnet School (TN), Davidson Academy (NV), and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (VA).

The rankings highlight the strength of central Ohio’s schools—and the students, teachers, and communities behind them.

In a heartfelt post shared on Facebook on Wednesday, HoneyDip announced that their building, along with others on the block, is caught in the middle of a legal battle.

The property went into receivership after landlord disputes, and a court-appointed receiver has quietly arranged to sell the buildings to developers, without giving tenants a chance to purchase the spaces they’ve occupied for decades.

The news has left the Kenny Road community blindsided.

For diners who grew up grabbing breakfast at HoneyDip, or families who made it their weekend ritual, the thought of losing this piece of Columbus history stings.

HoneyDip and the other tenants aren’t giving up without a fight. They’ve launched a petition calling on the community to help preserve the businesses that have called Kenny Road home for generations. They’re also asking locals to share favorite memories and photos from over the years, a reminder of just how much these small businesses mean to Columbus.

You can read the diner’s full statement on Facebook or sign the petition here.

Pawpaws are fairly delicate fruits that bruise easily, which is why you aren’t likely to find them in the produce section of the grocery store. Luckily, they can be found throughout Ohio if you’re up for some foraging, or at certain farmers markets and festivals.

At room temperature, you can only expect to get 2-3 days out of your pawpaws. You can store them in a refrigerator for about a week. If you don’t want to eat them raw, you can always substitute papaw for a variety of fruits in recipes to make frozen yogurt, sorbet, and other desserts and baked goods.

When it comes to foraging for pawpaws, it’s important to make sure that you’re not in an area where picking is prohibited. You can’t forage in the Metro Parks here in Columbus, but there are state forests where collecting wild-grown fruit is allowed.

Andrew Moore, author of Pawpaw: In Search of America’s Forgotten Fruit, explained the perfect way to eat a pawpaw:

“The best thing you can do with a ripe, fresh pawpaw is just to eat it out of hand. Cut it in half, scoop it out and eat it like a custard in a cup, which is essentially what it is.”

If you forage or purchase pawpaws this year and fall in love, consider adding some pawpaw trees to your yard or garden. The trees have great pest resistance and they have a uniquely tropical appearance.

They also happen to be the only host plant for the zebra swallowtail butterfly, which means you’ll be giving these beautiful pollinators.

A visit to Integration Farms will give you an opportunity to see just how versatile this fruit really is. The farm produces a wide variety of pawpaw-based products, everything from salsa to pawpaw pulp.

Pawpaws are in season throughout September and October and one of the easiest places to get your paws on pawpaws has to be the Ohio Pawpaw Festival. This annual fest, now in it’s 27th year, celebrates our delicious native fruit with live music, vendors, games, activities, food, and more. The festival will be held at Lake Snowdon in Albany, September 12-14, 2025.

For more information about pawpaws, you can visit the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website here.

The post Fall In Love With Central Ohio’s Best Fall Festivals appeared first on Columbus Navigator.

My love of the ocean started when I was six years old, even though I wouldn’t step foot in one until nearly a decade later. Through the years, I developed a deep sense of belonging with the ocean, and a love of all things living in it.

And even though I wanted nothing more than to see animals in the wild, open ocean, having a marine park in the middle of the Midwest was the next best thing. No matter how I feel about ocean animals in captivity as an adult, I can’t deny that childhood Chelsea was just excited to have a little bit of the ocean here in Ohio.

SeaWorld Ohio opened in the spring of 1970 and quickly became a popular family destination. After a three-decade run, the park closed in the early 2000s. It may be gone, but the memories of summer trips to Geauga Lake are still all too real for many Ohioans.

If you’re wondering what the old park looks like now, you’re not alone and you may be surprised. But before we get to today, we need to go back in time.

Abandoned For Nearly 20 Years

Former SeaWorld employee Nico Maragos had the opportunity to go inside the old SeaWorld to take photos of the park about a few years back, before demolition was fully underway. The results definitely inspired huge waves of childhood nostalgia and an uncontrollable longing for warmer weather and simpler times.

Main Entrance

Sea Lion and Seal Pool & Intensity Water Ski Spectacular

Shamu’s Happy Harbor and Dolphin Cove

Shamu Stadium

For several years after those photos were taken, the park continued to slowly fade away into nature. In February of 2021, an urban explorer on Youtube was able to document the parks condition before demolition began.

The Transition into Geauga Lake District

Years after the rides shut down and the splash zones went quiet, the Geauga Lake property is finally buzzing with life again—just in a very different way. What was once Shamu’s turf and coaster country is now becoming a mix of shopping, living, and even a little nostalgia.

In 2020, a Solon, OH-based real estate developer, Industrial Commercial Properties, bought a massive chunk of the property with the intention to transform it into a 377 mixed-use development called the Geauga Lake District.

Meijer recently broke ground on a new store, taking over the spot where visitors once walked through the main gates or lined up for X-Flight. Meanwhile, Vision Development’s new apartment community, VC Park at Geauga Lake, is already welcoming its first residents, complete with murals and street names that nod to the park’s roller-coaster heyday.

The City of Aurora is also leaning hard into the throwback vibes with plans for a new public park.

Renderings show a beach, trails, and even the old wave pool (minus the waves). Several original SeaWorld structures, like the welcome plaza and triquarium, are slated to stick around, bringing a little déjà vu to anyone who visited back in the day.

Other housing and retail projects are in the works, including an active adult community for those 55 and up. It may not be whales and water skis anymore, but seeing the site transform from an abandoned landmark into a vibrant district feels like the kind of second act Geauga Lake deserves.

Recently recognized by USA TODAY as one of the top 10 Oktoberfests in the nation, Schmidt’s Columbus Oktoberfest is a celebration of German heritage that draws tens of thousands of visitors from across the Midwest each year. “We’re thrilled to host the 59th Annual Columbus Oktoberfest to celebrate our German heritage and one of central Ohio’s most cherished traditions,” said Carla Epler, Chief Operating Officer of Schmidt’s and Executive Director of the festival.

Here’s what you can expect at this year’s fest:

From three stages of live music and polka dancing to more than 80 vendors in the Marktplatz Pavilion, there’s no shortage of ways to eat, shop, and celebrate. And for the first time, this year’s lineup also includes paint-and-sip sessions with a local artist.

Worried about the weather? Don’t be! The event takes place in three massive halls designed to mimic the legendary beer halls of Germany, with more than 100,000 square feet of covered space.

Here are some of the highlights for 2025:

Test Your Strength at the Gemütlichkeit Games

Presented by Koorsen, these events have become a crowd favorite since 2021. Watch contestants attempt the Steinheben (508-pound stone lift) and Steinstossen (180-pound stone throw) among other feats of strength.

Family Fun at Kinderplatz

Bring the kids to Kinderplatz for free bounce rides, crafts, face painting, and special activities with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Get Moving at the Meiler Vier Run/Walk

Throw on your lederhosen (or your running shoes) and join the four-mile race around the fairgrounds, complete with plenty of festive costumes.

Compete in the German Games

From cream puff eating to Mass Kruegstemmen (beer stein holding) and even yodeling contests, there’s something for everyone. The stein-holding contest also serves as a qualifier for the U.S. Stein Holding Association’s State Championship Tournament.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

Schmidt’s Restaurant & Sausage Haus will be serving all the favorites—bratwursts, Bahama Mamas, frankfurters, fried bologna, sauerkraut, and jumbo cream puffs (don’t miss the caramel apple cream puff, a recent fan favorite).

Know Before You Go

The 59th Annual Columbus Oktoberfest will be held rain or shine:

• Friday, September 5: 5 p.m. – Midnight
• Saturday, September 6: Noon – Midnight
• Sunday, September 7: Noon – 8 p.m.

Admission is free, parking is $15, and the event is cashless (fest cards are available on site). Best of all, a portion of the proceeds supports local charities.

With more than 15 live bands, endless food and beer, and family fun all weekend long, this year’s Columbus Oktoberfest is set to be one for the books. Prost!

Columbus has some truly incredible parks and pieces of nature, but within a short drive, you can be transported to a wild wonderland.

The area that makes up Hocking Hills State Park was first protected back in 1910, and Ohioans and visitors have been enjoying the beauty and serenity of the place ever since. Whether it is your first visit or you’ve been going for years, planning a trip to Hocking Hills can be a little overwhelming.

There’s so much to do and see that even a weekend trip can leave you feeling like you didn’t get to see everything that the area has to offer. But with a little planning, you can have an incredible visit that will leave you counting down the days until you return. Let’s dive in!

Quick Facts About Hocking Hills

Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Hocking Hills State Park is the centerpiece of this beautiful region. The park features towering cliffs, waterfalls, and hemlock-shaded gorges that are perfect for a hike in every season.

Hocking Hills State Park consists of six separate areas encompassing an impressive 2,000 acres. There’s an additional nearly 10,000 acres of state forest that surround the park.

The park is open year-round to visitors, from dawn to dusk, and there are frequent events held at the park like special hikes and seasonal events. There’s so much to love about this majestic, wild place, so let’s dive in.

Where To Stay in Hocking Hills

Hocking Hills State Park is certainly a doable day trip from Columbus. But if you want the full experience, giving yourself enough time to see all of the sights and enjoy the nature, you’ll probably want to stay overnight.

Hocking Hills Park Lodge

Camping

If you are looking for a more rustic experience, you can take advantage of the park’s hike-in campsites. There are no roads to these campsites, just a 1/2 mile hike with all of your gear.

Cabins & Unique Accomodations

The post The Ultimate Guide To Visiting Hocking Hills From Columbus appeared first on Columbus Navigator.

I did a lot of daydreaming about escaping suburban Columbus life for somewhere a little more magical, like Narnia or Middle Earth. What I didn’t realize at the time is that Ohio has some pretty darn magical places that are a lot easier to get to.

Hocking Hills is a place with a special kind of magic. The beauty of nature is on full display down there, and the great outdoors has never been such a wonderful way to escape everyday life. If you’re looking for a challenging hike that rewards you with magnificent scenery, then you need to plan a day to visit Cantwell Cliffs.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Maxine Matta (@maxtown9)

Located in Rockbridge, Cantwell Cliffs features a deep valley, imposing cliffs, and a stunning rock shelter where you can cool off and enjoy the views. The trail itself is short, just about 1 mile, but the journey is challenging.

A less popular destination than its nearby neighbor Old Man’s Cave, the trail at Cantwell Cliffs truly makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. The narrow stone staircases and winding passageways transport you to another world, one where Mother Nature is queen.

Years of erosion caused the steep cliffs, the rock shelter, and the valley where they reside. The hike isn’t recommended for families with young children as some of the areas are quite narrow, steep, and all-around challenging to navigate, so keep that in mind when you’re planning your visit.

READ MORE: The Best Things To Do In Hocking Hills

When heading out for a hike, safety is a priority. Make sure you’re wearing appropriate footwear and feel adequately prepared for hiking. Additionally, if we want places like Cantwell Cliffs to stay magical for every visitor, it’s important to keep the place clean.

That means you should leave no trace of your visit, aka everything you take with you on the trail needs to come back out with you.

Cantwell Cliffs is located at Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio 374, Rockbridge, OH 43149. The trail typically takes about 40 minutes to hike and you can get more info about visiting right here.

It’s official. For the next few months, our Saturdays will be filled with chants of “O-H-I-O” and rousing choruses of songs disparaging that team up north. Buckeye fans pour in from all over on home game weekends, and sometimes the prospect of heading down to campus on a Saturday can seem a little daunting.

But there’s nothing quite like the atmosphere on campus when the scarlet and grey are playing. There are a lot of cool things to see and tons of fun traditions fans can take part in. If you’re trying to figure out how to spend the perfect Saturday showing off your love of the Buckeyes, we’ve got your back. Here are some must-do activities for Buckeye fans on game day.

Take In A Skull Session

The OSU Marching Band Skull Session starts two hours before kickoff of every home football game. The tradition began all the way back in 1957. The Skull Session is basically the biggest, most exciting pep rally you’ll ever go to. It’s free to attend, so even if you don’t have tickets to the game, you can still get your fan on. The session is held at St. John Arena and seating is first-come, first-serve.

Grab a pre or post-game drink at Varsity Club

A post shared by Varsity Club (@thevarsityclub)

Varsity Club is the place to grab a pre-game beer. During noon games, they’re open and ready for you by 8 a.m. There are a few rules when stopping into the Varsity Club, so listen up. The bar hosts an epic tailgating bash and it’s cash only and only for guests 21+. You can’t take backpacks or coolers in and bags (except for small women’s clutch-style handbags) are prohibited. There’s no parking on-site, since the parking lot hosts the bash, so be sure to plan your transportation accordingly.

Woody Hayes may be gone, but he’s a legend, which means he’ll never be forgotten. You can snap a pic with the statue of this iconic OSU coach right outside of Varsity Club, near Lane Ave. and N High St. If you find yourself near the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, there’s an even larger statue you can pose with! What can I say? Columbus really loves Woody.

Buckeye Grove is one of the most overlooked and underrated spots on campus. The tradition of planting buckeye trees at the grove started in 1934. There are over 180 trees in the grove now, each one with a plaque that honors a different Buckeye All-American.

Stop by Mirror Lake (no swimming)

A post shared by The Ohio State University (@theohiostateuniversity)

You can’t take a dip in Mirror Lake anymore, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop by and check it out. The lake underwent recent renovations and it’s even prettier than ever. Go during peak fall foliage and you will be in Buckeye heaven.

Stick Around (Or Show Up Early) To Hear The Victory Bell

I can say with confidence that this bell will be ringing more often than not. Traditionally, the victory bell tolls for 15 minutes after a victory at home, and 30 minutes if the win is against that team up north. But now, we’re getting a little extra bell time. Starting this year, the bell will ring before kickoff to help get the atmosphere charged up in the stadium. You can read more about the Victory Bell and other traditions here.

Cider has a rich history, and it’s been a beloved drink for generations.

Cider has been around for thousands of years, made simply by pressing fresh apples into juice. Some mills keep it cloudy and rustic, others go for smooth and clear, but the flavor is always tied to tradition. Sweet or dry, sparkling or still, cider is the kind of drink that feels just as at home at a bonfire as it does at a sunny afternoon picnic.

Ohio has plenty of cider mills ready to kick off the season. From family-run orchards to popular weekend destinations, these are the spots where fresh-pressed cider makes late summer feel like the start of something new.

Lynd Fruit Farm

Haus Orchard and Cider Mill

MacQueen Orchards

Moes Cider Mill

Beckwith Orchards

Hirsch Fruit Farm

Laurelville Fruit Farm

Legend Hills Orchards and Cider Mill

Pick N’ Save Orchard

Geig’s Orchard

Hugus Fruit Farm

These cider mills aren’t just places to grab a drink—they’re destinations full of fall magic and flavor. So throw on your coziest flannel and head to one of these charming spots to sip on the best cider Ohio has to offer. Cheers to autumn!
