What blackwater falls and Seneca rock in West Virginia?

or maybe Milwaukee
there is some nice nature in the area, museums and attractions in the city, and kosher food

St. Louis is a wonderful destination, but it's way more than 5 hours from Cleveland. I was personally quite underwhelmed by Indiana Dunes and can't think of much in the state that would excite a Bas Mitzvah girl. '

West Virginia could be a great idea though. Google Maps says it's exactly 5 hours away, and it has lots of great outdoorsy activities. Check out https://adventuresonthegorge.com/ and New River Gorge NP.

West Virginia in general seem to be a good option so far, thanks!
Do you know of any all inclusive resort? I don't want to spend tons of time researching right now... A place we can go to and just enjoy is what I'd like!

Milwaukee is too far.

My daughter doesn't need much to get excited, as long as it's something she likes ;-)

Do you know of any all inclusive resorts? With horse back riding?

Yes, the one I recommended in my post above. Check out https://adventuresonthegorge.com/adventures/

You'll see horseback riding and enough to keep you busy for a whole week. Note that I haven't stayed there, but went rafting with them and had a great time.

I looked at their website. They look great, just wasn't sure it was all inclusive. I'll give them a call because they don't have much info online...
Thank you!

I contacted them, and unless I misunderstood completely, each activity is its own fee regardless if you stay in they're lodgings. The price they quoted me was a little too high for my budget. I may have to piecemeal this trip. I don't mind really, just wanted to save time on the planning stage. Guess not this time!
I'm going to give my DD the choice anyway if a couple different destinations, so I'll see what she says :-)
Thank you everyone!
