We have really liked Caesar Creek SP, Cowan Lake SP, Hueston Woods SP, Buck Creek SP, East Fork SP and John Bryan SP.
Caesar Creek may be your best bet for location between Cincinnnati and Springfield and a variety of activities for your kids. The fossil hunting is great in the whole park. John Bryan is a small park, but adjacent to a nice gorge for hiking.
We have stayed at Winton Woods also. It is OK and would have great activities for the kids. We just prefer a more rustic setting.
Enjoy your time in Ohio!
