Pure Western Entertainment
When you’ve satisfied your ice cream cravings, be sure to stop by Buckin’ Ohio, 8154 Garman Rd, Burbank, OH, to experience a western way of life.
Established nearly 20 years ago, Buckin’ Ohio focuses on pro bull riding. In 2024 there’s Professional bull riding available on May 25, June 22, July 20, August 1, August 17, September 14, and October 5.

A Farm with an Overload of Cuteness
If you seek a scene that is somewhat more serene, check out Majestic Meadows, 4195 Abbeyville Road, Medina. It started as an alpaca farm but has grown into a more diverse menagerie, with kangaroos, miniature babydoll sheep, miniature horses, miniature Mediterranean donkeys, potbelly pigs, miniature Scottish Highlands cows, miniature Shetland sheep, Nigerian dwarf goats, and more!
Be sure to reserve your spot for their daily self-guided tours. An on-site concession stand not only sells treats for humans, but also grain to feed the animals – a must-do experience!
The farm offers other adventures including Junior Farmer for the Day and Goat Yoga.
