COSI Toledo, a hands-on science center about an hour from Detroit, is a world
of fun. Just ask Justin and Jenny Pollack, left, of Huntington Woods and their
Mends, Paige and Graham Kozak of Grosse Pointe Woods.

balconies, pool, beach and marina at
this 1,800-acre recreational complex
on the Lake Erie shore. Just 10 miles
east of downtown Toledo, Maumee
Bay blends state park campsites with
a contemporary, resort-style lodge and
20 deluxe cabins whose lofts, fire-
places, screened porches — and maid
service! — are so popular reservations
must be booked a year in advance.
Guests may stroll a two-mile
boardwalk, explore wetlands and
wildlife at an interactive nature cen-
ter, go sailing or canoeing on an
inland lake or golf on a Scottish links-
style, championship course designed
by Toledo native Arthur Hills. Hint
- bring plenty of ammunition — it's a
real ball gobbler.
Cedar Point: A dozen roller coast-
ers, with names like Mean Streak,
Mantis and Magnum XL-200, give
Cedar Point bragging rights as the
roller coaster capital of the planet. It
also boasts the world's largest assort-
ment of rides, 59.
But despite its awesome collection
of "scream machines" and other
adrenaline-elevating devices, the pop-
ular Sandusky, Ohio amusement park
is not one to coast on its reputation.
Entering its 128th season, Cedar
Point unveiled Power Tower this May.
It's a state-of-the-art thrill ride —
powered by compressed air— that's
the tallest free-fall type ride in the
world. It follows the debut in 1996 of
Mantis, the world's tallest, fastest and
steepest stand-up roller coaster.

Looming 300 feet high — nearly
as tall as Perry's Victory and Interna-
tional Peace Memorial across Lake
Erie on Put-in-Bay — the new,
multi-million-dollar ride blasts 24
thrill-seekers up two 240-foot towers,
while simultaneously thrusting 24
other riders 240 feet down a second
pair of towers. It happens very fast —
in three seconds at speeds of more
than 50 miles per hour. Gulp!
While some park-goers can't wait
to be first on their block to experi-
ence the new ride, (which lasts a total
of 45 seconds), others warily eye the
white steel behemoth that towers
high above the treeline.
But that's okay — the chickens
among us have dozens of other attrac-
tions to sample in this Lake Erie-hug-
ging playground that ranks as North
America's second oldest amusement
park. Berenstain Bear Country is a
kid-pleaser, and Summer Spectacular,
the nightly laser and fireworks show,
draws crowds of all ages.
Water-worshipers, meanwhile, can
splash summer days away in Soak
City, a newly expanded, 18-acre
aquatic oasis adjacent to the amuse-
ment park.
Grab three friends and a circular
raft to slide, screaming, down the 76-
foot tall Zoom Flume or get spooked
in the darkness of Eerie Falls, with its
three twisting, enclosed tube slides.
On Renegade River, you'll alternate
between peacefully bumping and
bobbing on inner tubes to dodging
