Wild Things to Do in Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland is one of the biggest cities in Ohio and that means quite a few wild things to do. You might be surprised to learn about the different opportunities available to you, including skydiving and other extreme sports. You can also take a tour of the haunted spots in the city, just in case you're feeling the need to be even more afraid.

Skydiving

What could be more wild than jumping out of a flying airplane with only a small bag packed with a parachute on your back? In Cleveland the place to go is the Cleveland Skydiving Center. There are several different jumps available such as a tandem jump where you jump attached to a professional or the free fall where you jump on your own. Each package comes with a training session prior to the actual jump.

Urban Exploration

The Cleveland Urban Exploration Unit is devoted to exploring the abandoned and forgotten areas in and around the city. The unique thing about the group is that the members don't have a specific meeting place or time, but make arrangements online. The members of the group revolve and change frequently, but you can contact them through their website if you're interested in joining them on their next trip.
