MillCreek has some interesting activities planned for June

not tours though.

White House Fruit Farms is another good one. 

I've gone on field trips there as a kid as well as with my son and his school.  It was very informative as well as fun.  Also, it's a good chance for the kids to get outside and enjoy the nice weather while learning something.

I know you will need a group of kids to go, they won't do individual tours.

How about a tour through Schwebel's Bakery on Midlothian?  I don't know if they give
tours, but it would be interesting for kids to see how bread is made, and maybe get a
fresh sample at the end of the tour?

Arms Museum-  I believe there is a charge, but I'm not sure how much.  I always loved going there when I was a kid.

I need some ideas for Mahoning Valley places and tours which would be of interest to children.  Please list both free tours and tours that charge a fee.
