Things to do on the way to/from IRI

We are driving from the Philadelphia area to IRI on Thursday. In a quest for sanity on the trip I'd like to make some stops on the way to let people walk around every so often. We will be mostly on I-70.

I've plotted all of the Quaker Steak and Lube's on the way as a beginning list.

It's been suggested that I try:
Quote:
Columbus Zoo, north on the loop. Really fun go carting place near Columbus, north on the loop. COSI (Center of Science and Industry - Interactive Museum) in downtown Columbus is great, but they probably don't have a quick stop rate. Near Dayton - Air Force Museum is always worth a stop, but it is south on the loop a bit. Its free, so that always makes it enticing. There is the whole Wright Brothers Cycle shop, Aviation Trail in downtown Dayton. The Kitchen Aid Experience Center is in Greenville, OH about 20 miles north of I-70 past Dayton. There is Conner Prairie in Indiana which is north of 70, but in the general direction of IRI. Its one of those interactive history museums, early American history.
Google Maps has me going I-70 from New Stanton PA (an hour east of Pittsburg) to Indianapolis. Any special place I should try to see? Or food to eat? (I hear that Skyline Chili (Chili on Spaghetti) is a midwest favorite that shouldn't be missed)

Thanks!
