4 Weekend Getaways in Driving Distance of Medina, OH

With warmer weather on the way, it’s time to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air. Here are four awesome weekend getaways that are just a short drive away from Medina, OH that you won’t want to miss this summer.

1. Visit Downtown Akron 

Akron is just a half hour outside of Medina and has tons of things to do downtown, including: 

• Spring and summer festivals 
• Free events 
• Boutique shopping 
• Concerts and live music 
• Films and plays 
• Dozens of restaurants 

Just book a nearby hotel like the Courtyard on Furnace St or the Hilton Garden Inn on Market St and get ready to relax. With so many things to choose from, you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained all weekend long.

2. Camp at a State Park 

If you like the great outdoors, there are multiple state parks located an hour or less East of Medina. Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park is in Garrettsville and features 167 acres of beautiful greenery, waterfalls, and local wildlife. You can also check out West Branch State Park in Ravenna. This park features a 2,650-acre lake that makes the perfect backdrop for weekend camping.

3. See Lake Erie 

Cleveland and Lake Erie are only about a half hour away from Medina, so this makes a great place to get away to enjoy nature without straying too far away from home. With 57 miles of water to the next shoreline, you’re likely to feel like you’re visiting the ocean. There are campsites available if you want to rough it, or you can book a hotel in Cleveland to get some shut-eye in between days full of sand and sun.

4. Ride Roller Coasters at Cedar Point 

Do you love the thrill of an amusement park? Cedar Point is one of the top in the nation and is located just an hour and 15 minutes Northwest of Medina. This park is so big, you’ll definitely need more than one day to experience it all. The park offers overnight packages with admission and accommodations included, which is arguably the best value for a weekend trip.
