My son really likes to go fishing at Lake Isabella, right off I-275—and I mean, you go right off Exit 52 and you’re there.

Tickle Pickle, a burger place in Northside, is like the perfect family spot. They do amazing veggie options also. We bring our girls because [of the] milkshakes.
Molly Wellmann, Mixologist
Friendship Park—they have regional botanicals, plants from all over the world, and beautiful, modern sculptures. [Plus] parking is free, as long as you’re not parking all day.
Bob Herzog, WKRC-TV Anchor
In New Richmond, they have the Cardboard Boat Museum. You have these people—God love them—who build actual sea-worthy vessels out of cardboard and duct tape.
Alex Tilford, @theskylinechiliguy
