Great visit, very friendly staff, clean, beautiful grounds and informative exhibits that have a chronological and fulsome history. Especially enjoyed the "War of firsts" tidbits throughout. Could spend between 20 mins and 3++ hours inside depending how much you wish to read. Also had a nice nook with plenty of books to enjoy if you want to spend longer.

Great exhibits, perfect place to start learning about the acw or to introduce someone to it. Good overview that includes the Western Front as well (rare) though lacking info on overall civilian experience, there is a lot about slavery, emancipation, usct, and Black experience at the time. Beautiful view outside!

It's a great American story; what President Abraham Lincoln did is admirable. Unlike today's administration, which wants to feel like a hero just by talking and giving orders.

It's a very cool place if you have the time to read each wall panel. There are no wow factor artifacts, just cool history.
Jake W — Google review
A great experience but a bit pricey at $17 for seniors. Quality artifacts and well displayed information. Very cold (bring your sweater) and narratives can make it difficult to read. Highly recommend.

An impressive and very well-organized museum. The collection is extensive and covers both the Union and the Confederacy’s perspectives, making it balanced and informative. The exhibits are clearly presented, with original artifacts, documents, and audiovisual displays that bring the era to life. The staff is friendly and always willing to answer questions. A must-visit for anyone interested in history.

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

Museum of space history
Specialty Museums
The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, a branch of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum located near Washington-Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, VA, offers a free museum experience that explores the history of human flight through an impressive collection of aircraft and spacecraft exhibits. With three times the size of its DC counterpart, this sprawling center showcases thousands of aviation artifacts from early manned flights to modern engineering advancements.
This air and space museum was an absolutely incredible visit. As per normal, I had goosebumps the whole time, whilst almost tearing up and gasping every time I saw one of my favourite aircraft in person for the first time! Absolutely heaven for me as an aviation and space geek! The fact entry is free is absolutely insane to me, considering the fact some of the legendary vehicles include the Enola gay, space shuttle discovery, SR-71, Concorde and 196 more aircraft! The information for each exhibit was so interesting, and the staff members around the museum were super friendly and talkative. Every aerospace museum in the US has blown me away so far, but this hits the top 3 for me. Highly recommend to anyone in the area who has a love for air and space, especially the history.
Jordan A — Google review
Perfect place to visit! Admission is free, and parking is only $15, which is very reasonable for what you get to experience. The museum has an incredible selection of aircraft and helicopters on display, including the legendary Blackbird, the historic Kitty Hawk, the unique Oblique Wing research aircraft, and even the iconic Concorde. Each exhibit is well-presented, and you can get up close to the planes, making it both educational and exciting. There are also plenty of interactive displays and informative signs that explain the history and technology behind each aircraft, which makes it engaging for both kids and adults. One of the highlights is the observation area, where you can sit and watch planes taking off and landing—it’s such a fascinating experience, especially for aviation enthusiasts. The museum is well-maintained, clean, and easy to navigate, with friendly staff available to answer questions. It’s a great place for families, history buffs, and anyone curious about flight. You can easily spend a few hours here exploring everything. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

What a cool place. I've been to the National Air and Space museum in DC, but it has been a while. Just recently found out about this place and I just assumed it wouldn't be at quite the same level as the one in DC. I was wrong. It has a great selection of planes, jets, and other aircraft organized by ear. Several nice practical learning activities too. All of this without the hassle of getting around in downtown DC. My only complaint is that I wish they had some aircraft that were accessible. We recently visited a very small regional airport with a museum and were able to board and explore nearly all of their planes. I definitely recommend a visit!
Doug B — Google review
This is a must see for any air or space enthusiasts. It’s about an hours by subway and bus from downtown DC - but well worth the trip. Walk right up to the Space Shuttle and an SR71 and hundred of other planes. We had an incredible 87 year old docent named Joe who gave us a free 2 hour tour. Joe brought personal experiences and detailed knowledge to all the planes and exhibits. Amazing.
Tony T — Google review
One of the finest Aviation museums out there. Many one of a kind surviving airframes. The WW2 collection is impressive including many important German Airplanes which are top notch restored. Whenever I fly out of Dulles International I make sure to spend my time in this Museum. Admission is free, parking for 15$ with plenty of parking space available. Will continue to visit, the exhibition is changing regularly.
Lakedaimon — Google review
Amazing place to be even-though it’s not easy to reach there from the city. For those who have passion to fly or love planes, here is the place to be. Of course also for the ones who wanna know the history. There’s a free tour. The gentlemen will share their knowledge with the public. Wonderful!
YJ S — Google review
Just visited the museum today and had an amazing experience! 🌟 The volunteers and employees were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. I loved deep-diving into the history and learning so much. 👍 Practical info: - Parking: $15 (huge parking lot) - Open 7 days a week, 10 am - 5:30 pm - Best part? It's FREE and open to the public with no ticket required! 🎉 Highly recommend visiting!"
Obaidullah N — Google review
Absolutely fantastic! The sheer size and scale of the museum can't be fully appreciated through a camera lens. Many iconic aircraft from TV and movies are on display in full scale—most notably the SR-71, Enola Gay, and the space shuttle Challenger. Admission is free, with a $15 parking fee that's well worth it.

Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts. The visitor center is the perfect starting point, offering helpful staff and an insightful overview of the battlefield and war history. The museum houses authentic artifacts that evoke the emotions of the battlefields, providing a profound understanding of the past. Visitors can also explore well-marked trails leading to outdoor battle sites even after the center closes.
Really interesting and intriguing. Hard to believe the events that took place there! Beautiful scenery too! Well kept! SO MANY BUTTERFLIES WHEN I WENT, in July! That was awesome! The monuments you can go into are breathtaking! Really neat that you can actually walk up to them and some you can even venture I to! Clean areas. The knowledge was unfathomable if the events that took place there! Everything from that era was well preserved and taken care of respectfully! Very nice. I enjoyed the room with the dome and compass above, with the full room painting! That was amazing and how they blended the painting with actual items lying around was so realistic looking. It was baffling! How they were able to do such a good job making it look almost 3D! Even though the events that took place there happened, there was a sense of Peace, the butterflies prove that.

We stopped in 30 Sept 2025 after engaging a tour guide for a “3 hour tour”, He had so much to tell us, he took 4 hours! Very informative and yet, so much could be said about the battles fought here. The Museum film and Cyclorama painting exhibit cost $40 for two seniors to see. The Cyclorama visit is timed but you can take your time walking the Museum. We visited the gift shop also. Tons of historical books there, along with glassware, magnets, and tasteful knickknacks. Lots of seniors and few school trips at this time of year.

We bought tickets for the diorama, movie and museum. Great experience overall! The movie was education and well presented, lasted about 15 minutes. The diorama visit is about 15 minutes as well and is worthwhile. The museum is huge, you could spend all day there. The gift shop is great. We left with toy rifles for the boys to do their own reenactment of the battles. The cafe offers delicious options, my only recommendation is they should offer more table for seating. They only had about 4-5 tables and that was not enough.

Gettysburg is a phenomenal historical site with more to see than the majority of visitors can get to in a short time. Just my personal practical advice, if you only have one day to visit the battlefield and don't want to hire a licensed guide, then the NPS auto tour is more than adequate. It is well marked, makes 16 stops at all the major highlights, and the audio & video segments do a great job. If you are more of an enthusiast and have 2 (or more) days, I recommend Carol Reardon & Tom Vossler's A Field Guide to Gettysburg. It lays out and thoroughly explains 37 stops. Taking a kind of combo approach, drive the auto tour with the Field Guide in hand. You get the shorter 16 stops, but the Field Guide gives you more depth and information at each spot. Plan on 2 to 4 hours on the battlefield itself and bring along a picnic and plenty of water. There's a lot to think about on this sacred ground. It's hard to stand anywhere in this peaceful, beautiful landscape and imagine the tragic carnage that happened here. But it's almost a spiritual kind of experience to try.

Parking at the visitor center was easy and that's were we recommend you start when visiting. The visitor center is very nice with some great displays, movies, bus your, driving tours, rest rooms and even have a cafe to grab a bite. We did a driving tour using the NPS app which was really very nice to explain and bring the battle and people to life as you look at the fields or hills Give this review a like👍❤️. FYI the budget cuts are not affecting this park. There were plenty of rangers and volunteers to make your visit enjoyable. In talking to the rangers they were all very happy since most of the cuts got rid a dead weight or managers that never talked to the public or helped your experience be better. Let the parks know you like having less overhead and more people making your visit better.

This was my second time visiting Gettysburg National Park. I was actually camping at Artillary Ridge which was about 5 minute drive. I could have hiked it. There has been a lot of changes. The museum has expanded and there was a special exhibit area. The Cyclorama is now an experience that starts with a film. Information is provided, directional markers have been installed so tou know where you are on the battlefield. The gift shop is nice and the grounds are lovely. You can take a bus tour to visit monunents or take the self guided audio tour. I highly recommend it, so much history.

Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is a family-friendly destination that offers a blend of outdoor activities, historical sites, and museums. Established in 1944, the park encompasses numerous historic landmarks related to John Brown and the Civil War, as well as pristine nature spots and viewpoints along the Shenandoah River valley. The town itself features historic buildings, monuments, and a charming downtown district.
I didn't think a place like this existed! To think that its just 30 mins away was a plus for me! This is the place where you would want to go multiple times (winter, summer,spring,fall) a place where i could truly relax my body and mind! The old buildings that was left and preserved was a bonus and its just mind blowing that this existed and i was able to see and experience it. I have been 2x now but i still haven't seen tha whole place yet. If you are a hiking junkie then this is the place for you since it has multiple trails that everyone can enjoy! As a matter of fact i enjoyed it so much that i paid for a year for the park admission!

Harpers Ferry is one of those places that offers a little bit of everything—stunning views, rich history, and great outdoor recreation. Whether you’re looking to hike scenic trails, walk through America’s past, or simply enjoy a peaceful day by the river, this park delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for families, history buffs, and nature lovers alike. Nestled at the meeting point of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is a stunning destination that blends natural beauty, American history, and outdoor adventure. Our visit last Saturday was a refreshing and rewarding experience filled with scenic views, rich heritage, and plenty of time outdoors. For those who love the outdoors, Harpers Ferry is a dream. The park boasts numerous trails for hiking and trekking, ranging from short scenic walks to more intense climbs. A few favorites: • Maryland Heights Trail – Challenging but offers the best view over the town and rivers. • Jefferson Rock Trail – A short hike to a historic spot where Thomas Jefferson once stood. • Appalachian Trail – Yes, a section of this iconic trail runs right through the park! Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just want a light nature walk, there’s something for every level of adventure. Be ready for a lot of walking, especially up hills and along uneven paths. The historic charm comes with some elevation, but the views and the ambiance more than make up for the effort.

Walked in from the visits center because parking in lower town is not available and the bus doesn't allow dog's. The walk is so amazing, along the Shenandoah River and railroad. Once your in town it is super quaint and beautiful. Had a nice lunch and walked is back. The stone steps leading back up the side of the hill are no joke.

Great experience. Arrived with our RV and had ample parking. Hopped on a shuttle leaving you at the base of town. Cute little taverns and shops. Adorable town. Visited on a Sunday afternoon and sad that the church was locked up. Why not leave it open for those of us wanting to spend some time inside praying? Cute town.

Just go! If you haven't been yet, you need to get there. So beautiful. Easy trails. So scenic and peaceful. Plenty of parking. And there's a free shuttle to the village. Loved it.

This parks is a must in this area plus visiting the little downtown. There is so much history and amazing views that you can spend a day easily. We just want to return and do hiking and keep exploring the park. Thanks so much to the employees that even without receiving a paycheck are willing to keep working and are keeping the park in an outstanding shape. You are real heros!

Great experience exploring and walking around this National Park. Parking can be difficult and there are many hills and stairs to climb to get to various areas. Overall a beautiful and well maintained site with lots of historical information and visuals.

James Madison's Montpelier

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
James Madison's Montpelier is a historic estate located 25 miles northeast of Charlottesville. The property has been restored to its original form and includes the grave of President James Madison. Unlike other presidential homes, Montpelier offers a less crowded experience with guided tours that provide insight into the life of James Madison and his wife Dolley. The estate features a spectacular mountain view from the hill where the home is situated, and visitors can explore the extensive grounds during their visit.
Tucked out of the way in a beautiful countryside! This home and plantation are beautiful. Very pretty gardens and views. You can definitely get the sense as you walk the beautiful peaceful gardens that the “Father of the Constitution” spent a lot of time in thought here. In addition to the house and gardens you have an area where the enslaved lived and worked. As well as a museum that is dedicated to showing the full picture of the family and times both good and bad. Definitely worth a visit

This was a really impressive place to visit but don't expect to learn much about the president. There was a lot about the house and his wife but they didn't not talk a lot about the man as President or otherwise. I left not having a feeling of the man. You get a some dates and facts but you don't get a since of the man like you do when you visit Monticello and Mount Vernon. They do have one of the best exhibits on the enslaved community subjugated there. One thing that did become clear during the visit was that Madison's wife Dolly and her son were garbage human beings that destroyed families to maintain her own lifestyle and even allowed herself to be excommunicated from her own religion to gain the wealth and comforts slavery gave her. Her son was a degenerate gambler, drunkard and womanizer and she lived above her means driving her family into crippling debt to host and entain people. I should clarify that I found the grounds impressive the inside of the home and the tour was less so. Our guide was fine and did a good job but we just didn't have enough time on the tour to see everything and ask all the questions we wanted to. If you want a really intimate tour visit his birth place at the Belle Grove Plantation. The place is not as expansive but can a more intimate experience. That plantation is also a working bed and breakfast so you can stay there but it's haunted so beware.

Outstanding house tour with extremely knowledgeable staff. This was one of the best tours I've been on, and memorable for all ages. To complement the tour, the extensive recommended reading available at the adjacent gift shop is worth a look, even if to just browse. Highly recommend this site as a key one to reflect on Virginia and US history.

I visited Montpelier with my sister on a Sunday. We arrived at 10:15 and participated in the 10:30 tour, which was very enjoyable and informative. We toured the basement exhibits and the garden on our own. We packed our own lunches, but there’s also a modest cafe next to the gift shop. We briefly toured the DuPont Art Gallery. There’s a lot to see. We spent about three hours touring the property.

This is a must see if you are interested in our country's founding. It is in his house where the US Constitution and the later Bill of Rights were originated. The house tour was indepth and very informative. I disagree with the reviewer who said there was too much focus on the slave population. Inside the house the focus was heavily on James and Dolly, but you can't interpret the house and how it works without talking about the other residents who served the Madison's in that home, and it was a very small part of our guide's comments. The basement exhibit on the enslaved people is powerful and should not be missed. The video presentation may move you to tears. Keep in mind there are two parts in the basement and they are not connected. Monticello could learn a bit about how to handle their interpretation of the enslaved Sally Hemings and the others who lives there. The gardens are nice and the views are excellent. This is place is well worth your time.

Monticello

Mentioned on 
+111 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Monticello, located in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a significant historical site that offers tours of President Jefferson's 1769 mansion and slave plantation. The area is known for its rich history and connection to Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia. Visitors can explore the stately mansion, museum, and cafe while learning about Jefferson's role in American history as the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States.
I see why Thomas Jefferson loved this place. The view here is amazing. The tour is very informative. I like how they highlighted his accomplishments. He was our 3rd president. He helped pen the Declaration of Independence. One of the founding fathers of this country. The tour also didn't shy away from the fact that he was a slave owner. (Even to his own children.) The grounds are well maintained. The staff were very friendly. They do honor military discounts.

So glad we visited on our last full day in the region. I hadn’t been here six I was a little girl. We took the behind the scenes tour which gave access to all 3 floors of the house. The guides are amazing as they gave immersive history lessons as the tour unfolded. Highly recommend this tour for ages 10-100. Lots of walking though but it was beautiful and thought provoking.
Marie R — Google review
This is a great destination to learn about history and get out in nature. The shops, museums and the tour guides are fabulous. The staff are very knowledgeable and personable. You can watch live archeological digs happening in real time. They have many ticket purchase options depending on what you want to do and are handicapped accessible but for those who like to hike and walk there is a very nice walking trail up and down the mountain. There's something there for everyone. The view is blissful. Definitely a bucket list visit.

Sunday morning on the first shuttle to Jefferson's masterpiece, and I got to walk around the grounds alone for a few moments, imagining times past. The landscape looks so good, even this late in the season, and the vegetable garden is beautiful. I signed up for the house tour, so got to see the inside, totally worth it, especially on a drizzly day. I was here 32 years ago, and feel lucky to get to be there again, even just for a few hours. I try to donate annually, to try to help this great project, l so appreciate it. The gift shop and café are great, and I'm delighted to bring some seeds home grown in the garden. Listening to the new book on 'Jefferson- The Art of Power' as I drove home. What an amazing person and legacy he left us.
Heidi B — Google review
The house is much smaller than I expected. The restoration and tours are excellent. Our guide was so knowledgeable. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer. There is a considerable amount of walking on the grounds so wear comfortable shoes. The museum shop is expensive but very nice.
Nancy L — Google review
I would give this amazing, historic, estate 5-stars if it weren't for our abysmal tour guide. I highly recommend you educate yourself on Jefferson's life (the good and the bad) before taking a tour here. Our tour guide clearly hates Thomas Jefferson and had an agenda the entire tour. She called him a liar. She said he had no interest in religion. And she glazed over almost all of his actual accomplishments. I hope Monticello will start hiring people who can communicate the whole truth of Jefferson and his Estate and bring people the magic of our founding fathers again. That being said, Monticello is beautiful and I was awestruck as we walked through the house, through the gardens, and even down to the graveyard where descendants are still being buried. How cool is that?? The treasures kept in the house are impressive and the architecture is something to marvel. I'm excited to go read Jefferson's biography and then return for another trip in the future (hopefully getting a more educated and enthusiastic tour guide).
Kate P — Google review
Great place, cool look, and great sights. The price is insane! $22/adult. $42/adult if you want to go inside the house. That does not include the second floor of the house. They say it’s owned by Thomas Jefferson non-profit. They are 100% making a huge profit off those prices. Highway robbery. Nice employees though. I don’t want to recommend; I will not say not to go either.
George G — Google review
Had a wonderful day at Monticello. Got my ticket for the house tour. As it was a weekday in the off season, there were all of four of us, rather than the max 14 per tour. Our guide was first rate. Had tons of information and insight, making the visit even more meaningful. Also took the guided slavery tour which was excellent. There's also so much to see on one's own as well. I highly recommend!

Luray Caverns

Nature & Parks
Luray Caverns, located in Luray, is a massive underground lair featuring 140-ft. natural columns, colorful stalactites, and brick walkways. It is a U.S. Natural Landmark known for its variety of formations and vibrant natural colors.
We had a really great time at Luray Caverns and here’s a friendly tip. If you have a Giant Food card and buy your tickets at the door, you get 50% off your second ticket. We took advantage of that and it was definitely worth it. The walk from the parking lot to the entrance is a bit of a hike, so wear comfortable shoes. I hadn’t been in years and I was surprised to see there are no steps to enter anymore. It’s now a sloped walkway that takes you right into the cavern, which makes it much more accessible. Once you’re inside, it’s dark, damp in some spots, and probably about a mile and a half long. You’ll get a nice little workout walking through, but it’s so interesting to see what nature created underground. The formations are fascinating and it’s wild to think this was discovered back in the late 1800s. If you haven’t been in a while, it’s definitely worth going back. Wear good shoes, take your time, and enjoy it. Luray Caverns is one of those places that reminds you how amazing the natural world really is.
Stacie — Google review
We wanted to bring our grandkids to the caverns to show them this very natural and beautiful part of our Earth. This is the largest cave system on the East Coast and one of the largest in the world. You will see stalactites, stalagmites, and other unique formations. The whole cavern is paved with a railing to hold onto if needed and easy to navigate. They provide a brochure to help You see their unique formations like Dream Lake and the Giant Redwood. Discovered in 1878 they have onset up so you can easily complete a self-guided tour. We were fortunate enough to meet one of the cave guides Scott who was amazing and very entertaining. He pointed out a variety of special features like “Virginia bacon” and “Jaba the Hut” that we would not have seen without him. We also purchased tickets for the kids to do the Ropes Course and they loved it. The only bad part is the cafe, their food is beyond horrible but if you are desperate to eat something it is what it is. The ice cream sandwiches we bought had a sell thru date of July 2025 and we visited in October.

Luray Caverns is such a beautiful and unique spot which is worth the visit. The location is easy to get to, surrounded by gorgeous mountain views and plenty of parking. It’s a great family destination with something for everyone. The caverns themselves are incredible to see in person-massive underground chambers filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. The lighting highlights all the natural formations beautifully. The guided tour was informative without feeling too long, and the kids were completely fascinated. Above ground, there’s just as much to enjoy! The Car and Carriage Museum is full of vintage vehicles that both kids and adults will love, and the Garden Maze is a fun challenge that keeps everyone entertained. It’s an easy and fun day trip for families, and one of those places that feels special no matter your age. Highly recommend if you’re anywhere near the Shenandoah area.

We have been to a lot of caverns in the United States, even mammoth caves. And this is much more magical than any other cave system. We have been in this is a very cool 54° underneath the earth with some beautiful walking paths. And a self graded tour that took about an hour. We absolutely loved it. We will return this place is great. The city is small. This is the main attraction and it is worth going through the city to see it
LAND R — Google review
Full day of fun! The cavern was spectacular as expected.... and the organ deep down in the cavern was a pleasant surprise! The Cavern literally sang to us! Your cavern ticket includes entrance into the toy museum, the car museum and the small frontier village. I highly recommend you spend a little extra ($12/person) to do the garden maze, it is tons of fun and you are on a mission to find the clues to figure out the secret phrase!!! The frontier village is a neat installment and during the peak season I assume they probably have tour guides or even better - characters actors to personally show people around the village. As it were, it was a weekday, in the middle of November so we simply roamed the ghost town and read the signs that accompanied each building. The sign on the blacksmith shop said that their resident blacksmith just passed away in March of 2025 and he had been there to share his craft since the village was first created. That sign is what leads me to believe that during peak season, they may have character actors or perhaps actual crafters during peak season to liven up the village.

Worth the price of admission, the caverns are a great experience, but that is not the only feature the toy museum is small but interesting, the auto museum was spectacular. The heritage village was very interesting. For a small extra cost, walking the hedge maze was so much fun.

A beautiful and unique experience in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. Self guided walking tour with some break taking views of jagged stalagmites and stalactites. Walk is mostly flat throughout but path can get hectic during mid day at its peak. Well worth the price of admission of a one of its kind experience. Highly recommend doing this at least once. Also worth noting prices online seem to be cheaper so book in advance!

Great site. We all loved it. My kids are 13/11/7 and were very impressed. A very nice tour. In the general admission included an old car museum. It's a bit small but all the cars are well kept and its a very nice museum as well. They loved it too. Recommended.

There was plenty of shaded seating. The slides are only for kids over 42" there is a nice play area inside and out. This was good for all ages. I recommend buying tickets in advance. There is a needed expansion
Melissa — Google review
This indoor park is so much fun! An added bonus is that they offer a military discount, which we really appreciated. You can get a discount if you purchase tickets early. The park itself is huge, some parts are covered and the other parts are open, so you can easily go back and forth if you need a little break from the sun. There are also cabanas to rent. There are tons of activities for every age group. We came with a large group of kids ranging in ages, and every single one of them had plenty to do. In fact, we ended up staying about seven hours, and the kids still didn’t want to leave—they couldn’t get enough of it! There are also food stalls available if you want to grab something to eat, though we didn’t try them since we were staying at a nearby Airbnb and just ate at home. Overall, this place is highly recommended! It’s the perfect spot for kids to burn energy and have an amazing time—definitely brought loads of fun for our crew.

American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
Nestled in downtown Staunton, Virginia, the American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse is a charming venue that offers classical performances in a re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theater. This historic city boasts a vibrant arts and culture scene, with attractions like the Frontier Culture Museum and Woodrow Wilson presidential library. The playhouse itself is an authentic re-creation of London's 17th century Blackfriars Playhouse, where Shakespeare's works were originally performed.
We saw A Christmas Carol and it was great! The production far exceeded our expectations. We hadn’t seen a show there for many years. This is a definite must do when in Central VA. Note: As a recreation of the original Globe Theater in London from the year 1599, it does not have the most comfortable seating. Get over it and realize that we have become soft.
Jamie F — Google review
Have been to see 2 plays. The first time we saw Pride & Prejudice and we loved it. Second time, we saw A Winters Tale, and while I didn't enjoy it as much because of the heavy Shakespeareon dialect, but it was still very good. I did not enjoy that they had draped the outside in anti-American/anti-family flags, and the person at the door was outfitted with nose rings and anti-family pins on her uniform. I would recommend visiting if you have the ability to ignore the extreme Liberal influence.

What a fun place to go see a play! My three high schoolers and I went to Sense and Sensibility this June (2025) and we loved it. We were offered the chance to sit on the stage, which was especially cool, and we loved the live music before the performance and during intermission. This was one of our summer highlights this year.

We had the pleasure of seeing their modern interpretation of Romeo & Juliet! It was AMAZING! A little live music from the cast at the beginning of the show and returning from intermission, so fun!

My husband and I spent the weekend in Staunton, celebrating our anniversary. We love history and the arts so we thought it'd be a good choice, and seeing Julius Caesar performed at this theater was a wonderful addition to our weekend plans. The staff were great and the actors were amazing. They really stay true to the Shakespearean experience and it's something to behold! Everyone did a magnificent job. My only complaint is that we sat in the second row on the second level and there was absolutely no back support. It's just a bench, which can be uncomfortable after 2+ hours. It appeared that the other seats had at least partial backs. Just something to make note of if you're making seat selections. Other than that, terrific!

Site of United Airlines Flight 93's September 11, 2001 crash is now a memorial with a Wall of Names.
Visiting the Flight 93 National Memorial was an incredibly moving experience. The grounds are beautiful and serene, creating a space that is both respectful and powerful. Walking through, you can feel the weight of history and the deep honor given to those who showed such bravery that day. It’s thoughtfully designed, and every detail encourages reflection and remembrance. A truly humbling place that everyone should experience at least once.

Big thanks to those people who built this memorial place for those innocent victims.. I found myself so emotional and tears rolling down my eyes at the visitor center, learning more of what happened, listening to the audio recordings, seeing those found debris, and pictures of the victims and their information on that one unforgettable day.. They are the bravest heroes of the USA along with the others who helped 9/11 survivors... Don't ever forget them! 40 passengers and UA crew members + 1 unborn baby of the Flight 93. I honor them and may they rest in peace.. The Tower of Voices has a very beautiful structure. It wasn't windy that day, but I heard about 3 small chimes and it made me really happy and emotional. You can just even feel their presence there. Also a nice place to reflect and pray for them.. Thank you also to the 2 park staff who had a small talk with some people explaining more of what happened. They are very knowledgeable and nice. We also bought some souvenirs to help the park as well. Whenever you get the chance, please visit this memorial.

Great memorial. Class of teenagers on school field trip while we were there. The teacher had them break up in groups and select a name off the memorial wall. They then had to look them up and tell the others about that person. Loved that the teacher made them see the names as real people. Cuddos to him! Have to admit we kind of followed them around. Learned things I didn't know.

Really enjoy visiting this memorial. They did an absolutely amazing job and made it non commercialized. We enjoyed every part of the exhibits.

Visited the Flight 93 National Memorial on a Wednesday in October—turns out the only thing open during a government shutdown is the wind! 🥶💨🧊 We braved the freezing temps and wind tunnel conditions to pay our respects at this powerful place. Couldn’t go inside the Visitor Center (thanks, shutdown 🙃🚪🔒), but we still saw the Tower of Voices (those wind chimes were working overtime! 🎶🌬️), the Wall of Names—each one a reminder of bravery and sacrifice 🕊️🙏—and the impact site marked by a giant boulder 🪨. Bonus: some local deer were hanging out, probably judging our choice of outerwear. 🦌🦌🧥 Shutdown or not, it was a moving experience. If you go, bring layers and your best windproof hat! 🧣🧤🧢 #Flight93 #Shanksville #WindyWithAChanceOfDeer

An amazing place to visit then pay your respects. I've never left for the dry eye. Take time to take in this amazing place couple things to keep in mind. If and when the president is coming to visit this location, the security is outstanding. Which means that you cannot get down to the lower section and the walk is locked. And normally there in the morning portion. So if you go around lunch time the parking is easier and you can take in everything without having a security issue. But if you are there when he is there, the tribute to the families is absolutely beautiful. Don't look at this as a vacation spot, or place to check off a bucket list. Look at this a place to thank God for the gifts that you have, the family is that you love that still with us. Antique pay respect to those who did lose their loved ones.

Lodge, cabins & a restaurant are available at this scenic destination close to waterfalls & hiking.
Came here with my wife and we stayed in the lodge while her parents camped in an RV on the campground. This place is really great and beautiful scenery abounds. The hiking is great too, and even a bit more challenging than I had expected. Make sure you do the Dobbin House loop, it’s a good 5 mile hike.

Falls were nice. Water level in the river was low due to low rain this summer. Well maintained path and stairs to access the falls. The Lodge was clean and the staff was friendly. Smokehouse restaurant was adequate. Park is beautiful with well maintained roads. Stayed 3 days so was able to walk several trails. Well marked trails that are challenging for people who enjoy hiking.

This stop was our two-day “play and reset” window between Acadia NP and New River Gorge NP — a quiet breather in the beautiful WV mountains. We stayed at the lodge and had breakfast there both mornings, mostly because options nearby are… well, nonexistent. Luckily the buffet was generous, the food was decent enough to fuel the day, and the views helped everything go down a little easier. Service, however, could definitely benefit from a hospitality tune-up — a smile and a bit of warmth go a long way before coffee! That said, the park itself is lovely. We enjoyed peaceful trails surrounded by lush forest, and the falls are truly worth the trip — dramatic and grounding. I got in a few good hikes, while my husband happily took in the waterfall views from the accessible paths, which are thoughtfully laid out and easy to navigate. In short: Beautiful park ✔️ Scenic lodge views ✔️ Buffet that gets the job done ✔️ Service that could caffeinate their cheerfulness ✔️😉 Perfect little nature pause before hitting our next national park. 🌲💧✨

This is a beautiful park! We went to the Blackwater Falls overlook. It is handicapped accessible and a beautiful view of the falls. If you can do steps, there are 2 trails to the falls, one has 1/3 fewer steps than the other. The friendly staff in the visitor center are more than helpful and can tell you where each begins. We ran out of time, so that was all we could there.

We walked the River Road Trail, which takes you from the town of Davis straight to Blackwater Falls. Across the trail, there is a ton of beautiful scenery, and streams. We’ve been visiting this state park for several years and didn’t know about this trail, I would recommend checking it out!

A beautiful park with fantastic views! There are various hiking trails that are not overly strenuous but high reward on the scenery, as well as some accessible trails too

This place is absolutely gorgeous! We decided to take our time on the way back from our honeymoon and stopped here to see the falls and state park, we were blown away by how beautiful it was, how up-kept the roads and trails were, and of course how amazing the falls were! It was so worth going out of the way for and we are so happy to have experienced this beautiful state!

What a dream! This is the most beautiful park I’ve seen in West Virginia. There are numerous hiking trails and enough activities for the whole family to enjoy. It’s worth the trip! There are restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores nearby.

Fallingwater

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Fallingwater, a residential masterpiece designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, has been designated as a landmark and is now open for public tours. Located around an hour and a half southeast of Pittsburgh, the house is made of stone, concrete and glass which blend together seamlessly. The space exudes grandeur with its breathtaking history that dates back to the 1930s. The visitor center before entering the house showcases simplicity and complexity at their finest, with the foundation being praised for maintaining its original charm.
We were absolutely blown away by this stunning architectural masterpiece, tucked away in the mountains of western PA. Even though the home is undergoing a much overdue restoration, there were still so many sights to take in, from the moment you enter the property. The grounds, visitor center, gardens and trails capture the sublime elegance of this marvel of Frank Lloyd Wright's crowning achievement. The home itself is both opulent and inviting, refined but not pretentious. It's a place that seems to invite one to relax over good conversation. Hopefully this museum can be enjoyed by many generations to come!

Parking was fairly easy with plenty of parking spots(if you selected a your time online and just show up for your scheduled time) if not parking can be much harder. Once you arrive you check in at the gate and then the pavilion at the desk in the middle and they will get you in the next tour regardless of scheduled time. The type was about an hour and it feels very scripted to stay on time. But you have time to go through parts of the house and all of the ground on your own. We found the experience to be very good and run very smoothly. The audio devices were good so you could always hear your guide even if you couldn't see them. Give this review a like 👍❤️ now please. And thanks for reading. There are restrooms at the pavilion but those are the only ones. There is a cafe with coffee and some light snacks. There is a building about the Kaufman's, if you don't know then go to that exhibit before or after your tour. There is is a gift shop with lots of stuff for your flw fix. Pro tip: Definitely but tickets online in advance for the best experience 💯

Book tickets ahead of time. Parking is easy, but you’ll need to wait for your scheduled entry. Restroom is available as well. It’s an easy walk around the site. I’ve always admired Frank Lloyd Wright’s work—Fallingwater is beautiful and unique, though it didn’t move me as much as some of his nearby designs. Still, worth visiting at least once for its remarkable setting and design.
April W — Google review
Would have been 5 stars, but a third of the outdoor balconies are under renovation (new stucco and paint), detracting from FLW's elegant design. Didn't expect to need reservations during the fall shoulder season, but when we arrived at the gate we were told all tours were booked for the day! $20 per person to walk the grounds and the exterior of the buildings (there are two!) was well worth it, even though we didn't get to go inside.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius! I was fortunate enough to tour this on a ninth grade field trip; decades later privileged to revisit this architectural marvel. The harmony between nature and home, water actually runs through the home, with a pool, plunge pool, stairs that descend into the stream and of course, falling water. Step back in time to see how the ultra wealthy Kaufmann’s spent weekends or holidays outside of Pittsburgh. Original furnishings, appliances and priceless art await you as if you stepped back in time. The in-depth tour was exceptional; Ron C. and all the staff are rightfully passionate about the preservation and sharing of this one of a kind masterpiece! Recommend making reservations for tours well in advance. There is free dedicated parking. Please note the tours are not ADA friendly with uneven ground and narrow rock stairs.

So spectacular to see one of the most iconic homes ever built in person, again - the first time I was here was in June of 2020 and the health restrictions kept us from touring the inside, so this fall season view and inside tour of the magical Fallingwater masterpiece of Frank Lloyd Wright was all I'd hoped for and more! Frank's a family favorite, and I've toured many homes and displays of his work in NY, IL, VA, PA, OR, CA and AZ, but this one takes you to another place and time more distinctly. Hearing the little extra details of the family, their style, the furniture, the history from its construction to its endowment, and the maintenance of such a monstrous endeavor plus current renovations were all fascinating! The only thing that could possibly make it better was if it was a Bed & Breakfast and you could have your morning coffee with Frank and the owners themselves. To live in a FLW house must truly be a magical existence. I booked a tour, and recommend doing so in advance.
Andy K — Google review
Stopped here while in the area. House and grounds tours were sold out so all we could do was the $20 property pass. It was well worth it. It was a beautiful day and we were able to follow the well marked paths, look in the windows and even walk on all the patios and porches of the home and carriage/guest house. The walk to the lookout is worth it as well. If you have any interest in FLW, or architecture, this is not to be missed.

We had a wonderful tour guide that provided information on this house & the that lived & vacation there. The house is amazing everything is be conserved to protect it for the future.

PNC Park

Mentioned on 
+50 other lists 
Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
PNC Park is a picturesque baseball stadium located on the riverside, hosting Pittsburgh Pirates games. The classic architecture of the park mimics America's traditional baseball fields and has hosted all-star games and playoffs. The area around the park offers various attractions such as restaurants, retail shops, and world-class museums like the National Aviary and the Andy Warhol Museum. Visitors can also enjoy tours focusing on the history of the Rebellion with a cocktail and tasting flight included.
One of the most beautiful ball parks. If you’re in are coming here do not forget the stadium is outside and many of the seats are in the sun! Catch a day and night game so you can see the skyline during both times of day. You’ll be walking along the Roberto Clemente bridge and the view of the bridges from here are excellent. So many good photo ops. Highly recommend catching a game here!
Casey R — Google review
PNC Park is hands down one of the best ballparks in the country! Getting there is incredibly easy – it’s just a short walk from downtown Pittsburgh, and the area around the stadium is very walkable. Entry into the park was smooth and hassle-free, which made the whole experience even better. The ballpark itself is beautiful with plenty of concessions available throughout. As expected at a major league park, food and drinks are on the pricey side, but the variety of options makes it worth it. The views are absolutely spectacular – you get an amazing backdrop of downtown Pittsburgh and the river, which adds so much to the game-day atmosphere. Even if your seats aren’t the best, PNC Park has plenty of areas to move around and take in different perspectives of the game. From the outfield concourses to open standing areas, every angle seems to offer a great view. Overall, the combination of easy access, great amenities, and one-of-a-kind views make PNC Park a must-visit for any baseball fan or visitor to Pittsburgh.

The stadium has good history, atmosphere. Easy to walk to from nearby hotels. Very clean, staff friendly and accommodating. This was the only stadium that the usher wiped down my seat so far. We've been to several. Nice area, worth the trip. It was kind of confusing to walk around inside the stadium to check it out. Before we sat in our seats.
Matthew — Google review
This is my favorite ball park. We travel the country just to see baseball stadiums. This is a great place. The view... the people. MLB has to do a better job with the food but the prices are below average and if you go when the gates open drinks were on happy hour prices. The ushers were great. This is the one ballpark that you want to sit higher up on the first base line so you have a great view. Normally I like to sit as close as I can to the field but the view is worth the sacrifice and the tickets are way cheaper. Take in as many games as you can while you're there.
Mike W — Google review
Calling yourself the Best Ballpark in America takes some big ones. Being an SF Giants fan, I might have to disagree. I attended a Sunday afternoon game here, was a rather warm day, but my seats were soon in the shade and I was able to enjoy the rest of the game. The views are quite stunning, it’s a perfectly situated ballpark. My only complaint was that the concessions weren’t as special as the park.
Dennis P — Google review
The best baseball views in the country. The concourses are open and have lots of food and drinks available. Large bathrooms, easy to find seating. The exterior has lots of foor and bar options and the walk over the Clemente bridge makes for a great outing.
Jonathan W — Google review
Best ballpark in the world with the best view of Pittsburgh! The employees are all very friendly- everyone at security, to the elevator operators or the vendors all make you feel immediately welcomed and seem very proud to work there. Be prepared to pay a lot for parking which is anywhere from $25-$40 on game day. The lots fill up quickly, so be prepared for a walk from the parking lots or garages surrounding the stadium. Food prices are also outrageous but there’s a lot of choices. I ordered the a slice of “world-famous” Caliente pizza which was huge and equivalent to two slices and cost $12 a slice. It was very good and also very greasy! All in all, if you’re a baseball fan, add this ballpark on your list to visit…you won’t be disappointed!
Tricia P — Google review
We went for a game and it was an awesome experience!! We loved how the bridge was closed from cars so we could walk comfortably without having to worry about cars. I love how there are several entrances to the park. The staff were all very nice and welcoming. I love how there are so many things the kids can do. The food stands look like airport style restaurants and everything was clean. We had an overall very good experience!

The Duquesne Incline

Mentioned on

Transport hub
Museums
The Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh offers a delightful ride on a beautifully restored wooden cable car, providing fantastic photo opportunities of the city's skyline and surrounding vistas. This historic mode of transportation has been running for almost 150 years and is a must-see attraction in Pittsburgh. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views from both the cable car and the observation deck at the top station, where there are also exhibits detailing the incline's history and its significance to Pittsburgh.
Very beautiful and historic place. The incline has been running since the 1800's. Its been a must see location in Pittsburgh for many years. My son and I went for our 1st but not last visit. The views of the city are spectacular. Many different ways to get great photos. On the cable car and at the top on the observation deck. At the top there are lots of exhibits that outline some of the history of the incline and cars. It also depicts interesting history of Pittsburgh. It is so cheap that a family could afford this fun and educational excursion. Ill definately be back with more of my family. Take cash and exact change. A round trip for 2 adults is $10. They are friendly and nice enough to let you go ahead and ride. You can get change at the top. Either from the gift shop or an ATM.
James R — Google review
I enjoyed this funicular side trip. The view at the top was nicest part of the trek. Crossing the street from the parking lot felt like a game of Frogger. Up top there’s a few touristy things to see, but not much. I’m biased because I’m comparing this with the many I’ve done in the EU. Overall it was a nice side adventure, but not much to write home about.

Ticket prices r great and it’s a really cool experience. It’s old time feel to it which is cool it’s like u stepped back in time which I always love that feeling. The only reason it’s 4 stars is because when we went their was a group of rowdy teens playing around in the car and shaking it the whole way up the hill making it a little scary to say the least and the staff did nothing about it. But we will definitely be returning again

I didn't enjoy my visit for several reasons: 1. You have to pay for parking, which costs $5 for 2 hours. 2. I came with my wife and kids (13, 10, and a baby in a stroller). It was very hot, and we all felt tired. We had to wait in a long line to buy tickets, and they only accept exact cash. 3. The staff were rude and unhelpful, with one lady shouting instructions through a microphone. 4. The gift shop at the top was small and sold trivial items. This place needs updating. They should accept credit card payments, have a website for advance ticket purchases, and add air conditioning—it was unbearably hot.

Make sure you have exact change in cash! $2.50 each way so $5 per person. No change or credit cards here. Great view of Pittsburgh and some cool spots to check out at the top of Mt Washington

Ride the cable car At Duquesne Incline and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh So whenever you see pictures of Pittsburgh, I am sure you are looking it downtown with and cable car in the foreground. it is easily one of the best things to do in Pittsburgh. From the cars, there are great views out over the city. Once used to transport workers all the way back since the 1800s. they are still using two original 1877 cable cars, the Duquesne Incline is a working museum, with the upper station providing photos and displays on the history of the incline. at the top, you can also see the working mechanism, wheel, and all. I don't know if it is the norm, but there was a guide in our cabin and he gave a brief idea about incline history, and how it come into the picture. Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 and still delights residents and visitors with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars Parking: $10 and that's valid for 24 hours. Parking is more expensive than tickets which are just $5. You don't pay at the counter, you put the exact amount in a cylindrical box (nobody checks what you are putting in the container). a counter lady comes in a while and shoves it with a stick. i have never seen a system like this. if you want to experience a slice of the city’s long history, go for it.

Rode the incline up and down as part of an excellent sightseeing tour offered by Molly's Trolleys. There is a panoramic view at the top of Pittsburgh from the north side. The ride is in a no-frills vintage car and there are antique photos in the waiting area.

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, a former mental hospital in Weston, offers guided tours of its massive 150-year-old facility. The main building, made of hand-cut sandstone and stretching nearly a quarter mile, is the largest hand-cut stone building in the country. Various tours are available throughout the summer and fall months, including ghost tours and an overnight stay option. The asylum also hosts festivals and family-friendly events.
Did the Asylum After Dark ghost hunt of the three outer buildings for my birthday this past Saturday (9/27/2025) and I cannot say enough good things about it. Shea was an amazing tour guide and he even told us where to find the Lobotomy room in the medical building which was exciting. The medical building was definitely the creepiest out of the three outer buildings. My mother and I actually got scared out of there and didn’t go back in so we are glad it was the last building of our ghost hunt. The tour guides told us that it was probably Joker that scared us out since that is something that he likes to do. I highly recommend the ghost hunts at TALA! They are amazing and so much fun even if you don’t have any ghost hunting equipment. We will definitely be back, and we hope that we get Shea again!

I recently took the paranormal tour at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tour was incredibly informative, diving into the asylum’s haunting history with fascinating details about its past patients and eerie events. Our guide was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and great at balancing spooky stories with historical facts, making the atmosphere both thrilling and respectful. The tour itself was a blast, blending creepy vibes with just the right amount of fun, as we explored the asylum’s shadowy halls and learned about its paranormal activity. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this tour is a must-do for its unique mix of history and chills. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Took my 15YO daughter on a day trip and she loved it. We took the 90 daytime paranormal tour. It covers all 4 floors and lots of information. Our guide (Kaylee) was wonderful. She new the historical side of the building along with paranormal facts. It's highly recommended anyone go see it. The only cautionary thing to be said it's cold in the winter, we went in the end of October on a 50° day and it was pretty chill in the building and I can only imagine it being hot in the summer. It's not climate controlled do dress accordingly and hydrate if you will be going in the summer.

My son and I visited on 11/2/25. We did the 4 floor tour with the medical center. Our guide (who I forgot her name but will add a pic to give her credit) was very informative and knowledgeable. I asked a lot of questions and she answered them all. Some of the stories were very frightening and some heartbreaking. It’s sad to think about what a lot of people went thru here. But it is nice to be able to visit and learn the history of this place. I’ve been wanting to visit for years and finally got the chance to. I was not disappointed! And this place is massive too! You really have no idea until you get inside. We loved it so much that we added the criminally insane tour after. We plan on coming back and touring some parts we missed. It’s very cold in the buildings so dress accordingly. And the price of these tours are extremely fair considering that all the money goes into the upkeep and restoration of this facility. Thank you for an amazing adventure! We’ll be back for sure!

My husband and I went on the 4th floor tour and were very impressed! Our tour guide, John, was excellent! He spoke loudly and clearly, was very knowledgeable, and took plenty of time to answer all of our questions. The tour covered a good portion of the facility, and we had ample time to look around and take photos. Overall, it was a great experience and highly recommended! Please dress warmly if you visit during the cooler months. The tours are on the hour so we didn't have to wait long. We went on a Saturday and had 17 people in our tour.

I took a paranormal tour at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Kaylee, was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and really brought the history and stories to life. Even on the day tour we experienced some activity, which made it even more thrilling. The atmosphere of the building is incredibly creepy in the best way possible — exactly what I was hoping for from such a historic and haunted location. Whether you’re into history, the paranormal, or just want a spine-tingling adventure, this place delivers. Highly recommend taking a tour here!

Went on 3 tours. Nick, John and Kayley were extremely kind, knowledgeable about their tours and answered questions with ease. The building was clean, both bathrooms were clean and they welcomed both of our service dogs in with no problems. This location is animal friendly anyways which makes it much easier. The history is worth the money in itself. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful! I give it all 5 stars!!

Nestled in the heart of Canton, Ohio, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a must-visit destination for any football enthusiast. This iconic venue not only celebrates the legends of professional American football but also chronicles its rich history. Since its inception in 1963, it has evolved from a modest two-room building into an impressive 82,307-square-foot facility that includes a GameDay Stadium and a state-of-the-art Cinemascope screen showcasing classic NFL films.
Went on a road trip and had the pleasure of visiting this place!!! What a great time! My boyfriend loved it!!! Learned a lot of very interesting facts about helmets and the progression of safety. It was super interesting!! The guy giving the demonstration was awesome!!! There were so many people working there full of football facts!! There is a fellow from England, I think, and he was hanging in the hall of heads. He is chock full of facts about the players. So great chatting with him! Had lunch in the cafe, great meal!!! So reasonably priced too!! We had a really wonderful time!!

The Player Bust and Super Bowls Rings sections are Outstanding, and the displays of footballs, helmets, cleats, jerseys, and other items from specific players and teams are Awesome.

I was there for the High School Classic football game. I went to the football field and the Gridiron Restaurant. We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The staff who directed the traffic, helped assist us to our seating area via golf cart, working concessions, and merchandise were wonderful. And the young ladies that brought a wheelchair for my mom at the end of the game, provided exemplary customer service. I didn't know what to expect and having traveled so far with two elderly parents made our visit a pleasure. We definitely have fond memories because of the staff at the HOF. Plus, my nephews team won.

The Wilds

Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
The Wilds is an extraordinary conservation center nestled in southeastern Ohio, spanning approximately 10,000 acres. Established in 1984 as a nonprofit initiative, it offers visitors a unique safari-like experience that includes thrilling ziplines and horseback animal explorations. For those seeking a romantic getaway, Nomad Ridge provides luxurious yurts exclusively for adults since its opening in 2009. Guests rave about the well-organized tours and engaging experiences available on-site, from guided sunset viewings to fishing adventures.
What an experience! The Wilds is an Ohio gem that is well worth the money. I would say great for kids 4 and up. The open air tour was so much fun, we saw so many animals near and far from the bus. They do have food and water on site as well as a great gift shop. The bus was a rough ride a times, more so at the back of the bus. Our tour guide was full of knowledge and made sure we saw everything. The beauty of the park and restoration efforts are worth seeing even if you aren't interested in the animals. They've done a great job making everything accessable for everyone, even the handicapped. Don't miss this adventure!

This was a great experience. Besides going on an African safari, where else can you see rhinos roaming around, not in cages? It was nice being able to see cheetahs from up above on the boardwalk without a fence in the way. We visited in the latter part of October and the giraffes were put up because of the cooler temperatures. This was our first time here so we booked the Open-Air bus Safari. Next time we’ll probably reserve the off-road Wildside safari to get a little closer to the animals, but many of the animals were right by the road when we were on the open-air bus. It was so much fun!

We stayed two nights in the Grand Yurt. The yurt was perfect. Central AC, mini fridge, and super comfy bed. The provided meals were delicious. The yurts are a short walk to the Overlook Cafe. There is a slight walk down to the Grand Yurt. The concierge service is a nice touch. The Open Air Safari was very educational. Make sure to bring a drink with you. The Wild Side Safari was exceptional. You get up close and personal with a lot of the animals. The Rhinos like to rub against the jeep. Bottled water was provided. The Zip Line was a lot of fun. Again, I suggest you bring water with you. All of the staff were very informative as well as helpful and fun.

The Force is alive in every hoofbeat and roar at The Wilds. We embarked on the Wildside Safari, and it surpassed every expectation. Rather than being confined to paved paths, we rode off-road in a custom truck with padded seats and a canopy — comfort and adventure in harmony. The open-air safari is lovely, but restricted to roads; the Wildside version lets you move closer to the animals, even into hidden corners of their habitat. (Be sure to bring binoculars as backup!) A moment I will never forget: we visited the giraffe barn and hand-fed a giraffe. With chill in the air, they’d been brought inside — an exclusive experience only possible on Wildside. To look eye to eye with that gentle giant and extend your hand is to touch a living Force. Our guide channeled true Jedi wisdom, weaving facts, conservation tales, and ways we can help protect these creatures and their world. After the safari, we browsed the gift shop and dined at the café, gazing out over the vast meadows — a scene so tranquil it could quiet the busiest mind. The Wilds also offers ziplining, horseback riding, and lodging options (yurts, cabins, camping). In fact, when you stay overnight, you may even get a tour‐discount. 📸 Jedi Camera Tips: Wide-angle lens captures sweeping vistas, savanna skies, and dramatic herd scenes. Zoom or telephoto lens (100–500mm or similar) gets you intimate shots of rhinos, giraffes, and especially those up-close barn moments. Don’t forget to shoot in “burst” or continuous mode — animals move with sudden grace.

We had a great time and awesome experience! Our tour guide was amazing, we couldn't have asked for better! (Got lucky there! 🙃) The animals were active, we had a cool brisk morning, everything but the giraffes were out and about. Glad we brought binoculars but still had all the animals close enough we didnt "NEED" them by any means.

Fantastic trip worth the $40. 2 1/2 hours trip through beautiful scenic area with animals coming right up to vehicle. Guide was great. Shared lots of fun and interesting facts about the animals. Recommend going when temps are above 75 degrees so the Giraffes and Camels are still out.

Exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a king sized yurt and did the Wildside tour. Worth every single penny. We got up close to the animals and learned so much new information from Logan, our tour guide. We got to feed a giraffe also! Lois was the best concierge staff for Nomad Ridge and we shared great conversations with other guests around the fire. Dinner and breakfast were included with our stay.

My Fiancée and I stayed at Nomad Ridge, did the open-air safari, and took part in the 10-course zip-line tour. We highly recommend all the tours/experiences we took part in! The open-air safari tours are fun and educational for all ages. The zip-lines are exhilarating and feel like a good length for the cost, just remember to dress warm if it's windy out. Nomad Ridge is a wonderful experience in itself. The yurts are comfortable with all the needed modern amenities while still feeling like a part of nature. We stayed in a "difficult" access yurt and had an amazing view of the land with animals. If you're packing more than a backpack, it may be difficult to get your luggage up and down the gravel pathways to those specific yurts. The dinner & breakfast included were tasty and felt worth the price of the hotel room. The fire pit at night was a cozy and romantic place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine. Overall, well worth the price. We hope to come back in the future!

Wow, fun casino ! Went here for the first time and won $1,000 on a $2 machine. I always bet the max on any machine. We had a great time. We’ll definitely be going back. It was really clean and it had a great atmosphere.

We went to some harness horse races with friends first and had a good time there. Then we went to the casino. We had a GREAT time. Had fun playing Buffalo Slots, which are my favorite. This facility is always clean. I am so glad the Buffet is finally reopened after the pandemic, we love it. Employees are very friendly, polite & helpful. Overall an excellent place.

Easy in and out. Good sized venue. Only real complaints are the poor choice in colours for lighting(bad photos) and the extremely small, cheap folding chairs that are so uncomfortable. Staff were nice.

We were at the MGM to see the band Chicago. They put on a great concert as always. The positives of the venue were that the room was more intimate compared to an arena, and the acoustics were good. However, the seating was metal foldout chairs linked together that didn't allow for much room with your neighbor. I was expecting better for the high ticket price. And, it's probably marketing, but the entrance into the theater inside the MGM was a long single line thru the casino floor. It was a Sunday night and maybe it's a different atmosphere at other times, but as the line made it thru the colorful and brightly lit machines, all I saw were older men and women slumped at their machines with little evidence that they were enjoying it. I'm not a gambler tho, maybe it's different other times; I'd like to think so anyway.

Spanning over 100,000 square feet, this lively venue features an impressive array of entertainment options including more than 500 slot machines and 100 table games, alongside 30 poker tables for those looking to test their skills.
Always have fun... they need to make things move faster when bonus spins and gifts are given away. Lines get long. The parking garage is awesome unless there is something going on at Rocket Fieldhouse. Getting out can take a while. We enjoy playing there. Thanks

My fiancé and I stopped by here for the first time and lost. lol It was a decent casino. We’ll definitely be returning to try out their buffet. If you play the slots and earn enough credits at the end it will give you a free parking voucher which helped out a lot. Parking was $60. We had a good time, hopefully next time we win !!

Gambling is just not my thing. I lose. I paid $8.50 for a cherry vodka with Sprite and lost $25. My friends made out a lot better than I did so I had an ok time. There weren't too many homeless people down there on the Saturday night when we were there, and I didn't have any problem. I just don't understand the attraction. You put money in a machine and it eats it and you get nothing. Maybe if I won once in awhile it would be different but it isn't.

Went to play the weekly Thursday $10,000 GTD. They moved the room upstairs to the 3rd floor. Dark room with lights so a lot less light than the old poker room but has a cool vibe. Dealers were skilled, professional and cordial. Joe does a great job organizing and running the poker tournaments.

Dead as hell. No atmosphere. Didn't even gamble. Waste of time. This is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen to hit the Cleveland area. Total joke.
Martin T — Google review
jack cleveland casino is something. you walk in and your first thought is wow, this place is gorgeous. everything looking like it’s trying really hard to be vegas fancy. for a second you think you’re in for a good night. then you actually start looking around. people are rude in that way where they don’t even seem to realize it anymore. bumping into you, cutting in lines, snapping at workers like they’re the ones losing money. i watched a guy accidentally pocket someone else’s chips right off a machine while pretending to stretch. and the vibe, it’s sleezy in a way you can feel in your bones. half the people look drunk enough to fall asleep on the slots. arguments breaking out, people yelling at machines, someone cussing out a dealer like it’s all part of the decor. the parking garage? don’t even get me started. it feels like the opening scene of a crime show. weird shadows, groups of people hanging around looking like they aren’t waiting for a car so much as waiting for something to happen. you hurry to your car because slow walking feels like a bad idea. which is the frustrating part. because under all of this, beneath the noise, the drunks, the sketchy behavior, there’s a truly beautiful casino trying to exist. the architecture, the lights, the layout it could be a great place. it really could. but the reality is you spend more time watching your back and your belongings than enjoying anything. a nice place wrapped in an awful experience. looks classy, feels chaotic. not worth the stress just to see the pretty lights.

Specialty Museums
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum dedicated to the history of rock and roll. It features displays on the music, the performers, and the industry. The museum is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
Crossed this off my Bucket List on 10.13.2025. All genres of music are represented here as well as the cities that influenced various types of music. There are not enough words to describe how Awesome and captivating this is and how it immerses you in the music. The Elvis, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Bon Jovi displays were Spectacular, and the exhibit dedicated to 1984 was Outstanding! The actual Hall of Fame walls showcasing the musicians and bands displayed the legends and several unique entries. Highly recommend to any music fan and anyone visiting Cleveland. Definitely can't wait to revisit when I am in Ohio again.
Rick W — Google review
We had a great time at the museum! We had no wait going in and tickets are worth the price! There happened to be ALOT of people there on the day we went but that’s kinda part of a museum. We still had enough time to see many exhibits and different memorabilia. Our group all had different favorite parts of the museum, mine personally was the newly constructed Bon Jovi exhibit. It was amazing and had so many items to view. Highly recommend and would love to go again.
LifeWithClaudiaLynn — Google review
When you enter the museum the first exhibit is SNL 50 years of music. It's beautifully done and entertaining. We could spend the entire day just wandering the museum. The snack bar is cold sandwiches, salads and such. It was the only disappointment. There are a couple of nice places nearby for lunch though. Loved the experience. We will definitely return.

We stopped by Cleveland on our way back from our Canada road trip to South Carolina and spent one night in the downtown area. We visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — and even though I’m not a huge fan of rock and roll, it turned out to be such a great experience! We stayed for almost four hours and could’ve stayed even longer if my youngest had been a little older (he was 2 at the time and just turned 3). It’s no secret that I’ve been listening to Bon Jovi songs on repeat all summer, and now my 3-year-old can sing “It’s My Life” pretty well too 😉 Definitely worth a visit!

It's an experience you'll never forget! Every genre, every era, every artist, every record company, and every performance...are on display. They even have a section where you can jam with your friends with provided instruments and amps! This is a place for music enthusiasts from everywhere around the world. Watch special videos, clips, interviews, and concerts...whatever tickles your fancy musically, it's all there! So, if you love music of all types and genres...this is where you need to be! It's not going to take just a couple of hours to experience RRHF, you'll need a whole day to take in and experience every exhibition that this museum has to offer! If you take my advice, attend this museum as close to its opening the doors as possible, because you'll want to be in before the crowd comes in! Their café is pretty good too! Trust me!😉 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏾=4.98(they're currently making addictions!)

Definitely worth your time. Probably the only gift shop I could get lost in like a record store. Had no idea there were interactive sound booths within to play around with and record yourself. Wish there was an exhibit dedicated to more production equipment, although there are quite a few displays of equipment. The Saturday Night Live display is definitely worth your time. Considering the amount of new artists that had their television debut on SNL, it's worth your time to explore it. Looking forward to going back when Wu-Tang Clan is inducted!
Matt P — Google review
What a cool place! So many things I knew, and so many things I learned! There were countless displays of one of a kind items! Pictures really don't do it justice. To see these pieces of music history up close really is unique. Will definitely go again to explore more and see what additions are there!

We planned to stop here as it was on the way home and it was a good way to split up a long car ride. It’s also far enough way that it could be a trip by itself. My wife and I bought tickets the morning of the day we were going to arrive. It was on a Thursday and we estimated how long the drive would take. We made it right on time. We had to pay for parking which is very close by but that is also something you need to estimate time as you pay for your time parked there. When we got there, the whole experience started. It’s suggested to start downstairs (the Saturday Night Live section) and work your way up. We enjoyed the museum immensely and could have immersed ourselves for daysss here. Instead, we planned to spend a couple of hours, which is what we did. This is a must see for anyone who loves music. The exhibits are VERY detailed. As someone who also loves history, this was something I noticed immediately. We are also Swifties and had noted the location of her items (iykyk). We only bought a bunch of magnets and a coffee cup for family gifts as the gift shop seemed a little pricey. The photos we took are one of our favorite free souvenirs. It’s definitely worth it to visit. Just be prepared to pay for the experience.

Fresh food market
West Side Market, established in 1912, is a vibrant and historic public market offering a wide array of goods such as meat, produce, bread, and hot food. The market originally had 109 stalls with additional storage added later. Many of the stalls are still operated by families who have been there since its opening, while others are run by vendors from various parts of the world.
My husband lived in Cleveland when we met and took me here when we were dating. I love this market. The produce is so fresh and all the different foods are so amazingly good. And anything we've bought has always been reasonably priced. We live in Nevada now, but when we come back yo Cleveland to visit, we always stop here. Our favorite counter to visit is Narrin's counter. She makes and sells her own dry spices that we just LOVE! She's a local, so all of it is made in Cleveland.

Love this OG market setup, similar to those found in Seattle or Vancouver. Great variety of meats, cheeses, breads, produce and other delicacies. Cozy diner in the corner. Imported foods shop in the other corner. Great biergarten right next door. If I lived here I'd be here weekly.

This place is a great representation of what Cleveland can be. Very diverse and open with many different cultural foods and products to purchase here. The fruit (food) is always fresh.

Make sure to go to all vendors to ensure you are getting best price you can. Macaroons I bought from multiple different places were very different quality. I highly recommend the ones that were large as the vendors with smaller macaroons were nowhere near as good. Tons of interesting meats, fish, baked goods, etc. definitely worth checking out if you don’t already regularly go here.

West Side Market gave me the nostalgic feeling of traditional markets you usually find in the Middle East—lively, full of character, and rich with the smell of fresh produce and spices. The architecture is beautiful, and wandering through the aisles brought back memories of old-style bazaars. I especially loved the variety of pastries and sweets—really delicious! It can get a bit crowded, but that’s part of the charm. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Cleveland.
Sirwan B — Google review
A small but wonderful local market that’s popular with locals but something I’d recommend to any visitor to Cleveland. Everything from meats and cheeses to fresh produce and wonderful baked goods and ethic treats that’s sure to please most visitors. This is a good spot to spot for breakfast or lunch as well so plan accordingly. If I had my wish I’d love to see some local crafts and more options for seating.

We decided to visit Cleveland for a fun weekend from Pittsburgh. We came upon West side Market!! What a hidden gem!! The varying food was absolutely delicious! It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cleveland. We’d give it 10 stars if we could!! It’s a must!!

Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
Hocking Hills Canopy Tours is an outdoor adventure company offering a variety of thrilling activities for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy zip line and Segway tours, as well as other exciting options. The X-Tour zip line is a popular choice, providing an amazing experience with knowledgeable and engaging guides. The Hocking Hills Golf Club also offers a challenging Par-71 course set amidst the beautiful Hocking Hills scenery, providing an affordable yet rewarding golfing experience.
We did the Original Canopy Tour and it was incredible! Skyler and Ella were amazing instructors and guides. The tour starts out with getting geared up and a practice run that is not far off the ground. They teach you everything you need to know for the course. The course was about 10 zip lines and 3 sky bridges so it was worth it for the time spent on this adventure. Ella and Skyler were also great entertainment while we were up there. They remembered everyones names, gave us fun facts and even had some funny jokes to entertain us. My son is 10 years old and he had an absolute blast! I personally am terrified of heights but felt so comfortable with Ella & Skyler that I almost forgot how high up we were. Maria was also great - she took us to and from the course and was an excellent driver. We would definitely do this adventure again. Well worth it!

Beautiful experience The tour was very well organized. Carl and Ella both were exceptional in explaining, supporting and encouraging all of us through the zipline tour. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The price may seem high but once you reach and go through the 2.5 hours awesome experience then you will totally forget about the money and take a boatload of great experience with you. Thanks Carl and Ella once again for making the tour awesome.

Unbeatable experience.. It’s one of the best Zipline tours I’ve been on. Canopy tours operations department really had styled in. I had a low bar set, but I was thoroughly impressed. It is truly World class. Speaking from an operational perspective, They nailed all the details, from harness us up to safety checks, to smooth, professional tour guides, they even watered the dusty roads down, so you don’t get caught and clogs of dust when being shuttled back-and-forth from line to line.. Thoroughly impressed special shout out to my guidance Riley and Ian.. they were fantastic. I will definitely take my family back sooner than later.

My wife and I came here to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and let me tell you… this place was the BEST. The views and experience were incredible, and the group we were paired up with were a delight. If I could give both of our guides 6 stars I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Justin and Xandra were incredible, hilarious, and made the experience an absolute blast, while communicating enough to make us feel safe the entire experience. Thank you to those two especially and I know we’ll be back in the future!

I had a great time. The staff was so wonderful and friendly except for one of the guys who helps bring you in once you land. He offered the woman who went down with me to help take a photo of her. Since he didn't offer me the same treatment. I took it apon myself to take my own photo. Then he looked over at me a raised his voice a bit at me and told me to move behind the red gate! I replied and said "I will after I take my photo in which you did NOT offer to assist me with. He didn't offer the other ladies a photo either. On a side note, I wish they offer videos or photos for the superman zipline tour customers. Overall I had a blast!

This iconic venue serves as the proud home of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team and has become synonymous with college football culture. Designed by Howard Dwight Smith, it stands out as one of the earliest concrete stadiums, showcasing its unique horseshoe shape that fans adore.
Every trip to this place is more memorable and fun than the last! It was super easy to get in, and getting food and drinks was no problem. I love the setup that there are refill stations as that makes getting drinks faster. It was my wife's first game, so it was a perfect weather day and fans to help us enjoy! Go buckeyes!

Huge stadium, 107,000 people at the game. We were at the very top 41 rows to the top. It is steep. Everyone we met and talked were super friendly from workers to fans. Thank God for the bicycle people taking you from the parking lot to and from game. Cost 25 a person. Worth every bit of the hundred spent. Plenty of rest rooms and there are elevators if you don't want to walk up the very many flights of stairs to get to your section.

Water & Amusement Parks
Cedar Point is a vast amusement park featuring an array of water slides, thrilling rides, roller coasters, and entertainment options. The Cedar Point Museum provides an intriguing look into the history of this renowned park, showcasing its evolution from a lakeside resort to a globally recognized entertainment destination. Visitors can explore original roller coaster models and learn about the park's legacy.
Cedar Point is absolutely amazing! The rides are packed with fun and thrills from start to finish it truly lives up to its reputation as the roller coaster capital. We went during Halloweekends, and that took the experience to a whole new level. The park was covered in spooky Halloween décor, with themed attractions and special activities that made the atmosphere even more exciting. Between the coasters, the seasonal events, and everything else the park has to offer, one day just isn’t enough you’ll definitely want more time to experience it all!
Nijanand S — Google review
Absolutely amazing amusement park! The roller coasters here are top notch and from online info they are consistently ranked top in the country! There are also other fun rides like a 300 foot tall swing ride, a gondola down the middle of the park, and a good amount of little kids rides. There is also an indoor arcade area. Any roller coaster enthusiast will love this park, but families will have fun too! The food is also pretty good, with good portions, and the meal plan is definitely worth it!
Matthew Z — Google review
I came this year for hallo weekends. The best day of all was actually Halloween. The crowds were low and we were able to get on all the rides very quickly. A few rides like the millennium we are able to get right back on as soon as we got off. The amount of effort put into decorating the park is amazing. It really does give you a spooky fall natural vibe. The haunted houses are a lot of fun too. The best places to eat in my opinion are the pavilion and the barbecue place. The mixed drinks are way too sugary and not enough alcohol though. I recommend finding a bar that serves liquor and doing a shot. We got tequila shots at the one place in the pioneer village area and they were basically like doubles. If your time is limited it's a busy day you may want to invest in a fast pass. On a busy day you can wait up to 2 hours for some of these roller coasters. I also visited in the summer. The water park there is pretty nice. They have some water slides a lazy river and a nice beach. Cedar point is definitely the premier roller coaster destination in North America. I love the top thrill 2, The Magnum, the millennium, and really most of the other roller coasters there. If you're staying over I recommend sawmill Creek It is a resort like atmosphere there and they have two pools and hot tubs. I haven't stayed at hotel breakers but I have stayed at castaway Bay and I don't like those rooms there. They remind me of prison cells. Overall I definitely recommend visiting cedar point if you never have. It is in a great location near the Lake Erie Islands and a lot of other fun things that you can do.
Scott E — Google review
Absolutely one of the best amusement parks in the world without a question. I try to make it here at least once a year and especially during the Halloween season because I love seeing everything all decked out. Waits for rides can get long, so I definitely recommend fast pass, or packing your patience and something to do in line. If the weather is bad there isn't a ton inside to do which is a bummer.
Eliott S — Google review
I drove 2.5 hours from Michigan to check out Cedar Point’s Halloweekends, and while the event itself was fun, there were definitely some frustrating parts. Parking was chaotic and poorly managed, and the wait times for rides and haunted houses were painfully long. Fast Lane passes were available, but at over $400 for two people, it felt way too expensive just to skip the lines. That said, the rides were awesome once we finally got on — especially at night with the Halloween atmosphere — and the food was actually really good. The park was decked out in spooky decor, with fog, lights, and scare actors creating a great vibe. Overall, it was a fun experience, but between the long drive, rough parking, and high costs, it wasn’t quite as smooth or worth it as I hoped.

Brought my kids to this amusement park for our first visit here and it really did not disappoint. We purchased tickets in advance, which can save some money especially if you go through a third-party seller so be sure to check around for deals. You will have to purchase parking, I purchased preferred which does get you a bit closer to the entrance and comes in handy after a tiring day. I added meal and drink packages to our tickets which also came in handy as you could get drinks every 15 minutes and get meals every 90 minutes. If you are visiting during peak season, I would recommend a fast pass upgrade too as it can cut down your wait times significantly although they do sell single ride fast passes in the app, which I would recommend downloading and using during your visit as well. If you are a roller coaster or thrill ride enthusiast this is the park for you. They have over 20 thrill rides and coasters combined. They also do have rides for children or those seeking less of a thrill. There are also other things the park has like arcades, access to the beach, and even more. There were some rides that were down at times during our visit but they came back on soon enough and we were able to ride. The newer and most popular rides did have wait times that were longer than an hour but there were others that you could ride then get back on immediately after the ride. I did not find any wait too long and during your wait they have shade, fans, mist machines, or a combination of those in line. Overall, our visit was great. We were able to ride many of the top rides during our visit and it was not too crowded so wait times seemed minimal. Great park, with great rides and looking forward to returning for another visit in the future.
Jackie D — Google review
Such an excellent amusement park. Highly recommended for all. Having visiting several different parks across North America, I can say this is the best of the ones I’ve visited. Compared to Disney and Universal in Orlando, the lines are much shorter and prices are more adorable. Pro tip: get a pass allowing you to refill Coca Cola drinks throughout your time in the park. It saves money compared to buying bottled water or paying for each drink. Also, get an all-day dining pass! Get one for every two or three people in your party, because it allows you to get a meal every 90 minutes. If possible, each person can eat once every one and half hour (or y’all can share). Basically, eat a little and go play and eat a little more with the pass. The rides are great. Roller coasters are not for everyone. While the majority of rides are coasters, there are milder rides. The Ferris wheel is among the mildest. There is a milder coaster, as well. The Cedar Creek Mine Ride roller coaster is one that doesn’t make people go upside down.

Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial

Mentioned on 
28 lists 
Memorial park
Sights & Landmarks
Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial is a must-visit attraction on South Bass Island. The 352-ft.-tall column commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie and offers breathtaking views from its observation deck. Visitors can enjoy historical reenactments and lessons from park rangers, gaining insights into the War of 1812. The memorial serves as a tribute to those who fought in the battle and promotes peace among the US, UK, and Canada.
This is a must visit if you head to Put-in-Bay for any amount of time. In addition to the monument being an absolute marvel, the amount of history here is incredible. The park rangers are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have. To top it off, six of us got to ride the elevator to the observation deck for around $30 or so. Go and enjoy.

In summer visiting put-in bay feels even better than any of the other very famous places across all of America. Lovely island, beautiful lake all around, awesome food choices in the island and lots of activities.

This site was much more than I expected. I had no idea that it is the 3rd tallest monument in the country. The visitor center is quite nice with lots of displays providing background on Perry and his role in the War of 1812. The grounds are well kept and the monument itself is impressive. Going up to the observation deck was fun and the views of Put in Bay island were stunning. Unfortunately the monument is closing soon for major and long lasting restoration.

The park is small, but well worth the boat ride out to see it. My kids loved the boat ride, taking the elevator up the tower, exploring the top of the monument, and completing the Junior Ranger activity book. The visitor center has a small museum with lots of information and a small store. There was also an art activity happening but we did not attend. It was a fun day, despite the rain.

We really had a great time visiting Perry's Memorial. Half the fun is getting there. Its only open for part of the year because the island of Put-In-Bay basically closes for the winter months. The Island is charming, full of great places to eat. The memorial itself is informative, and the views stunning!

Very cool experience! Well worth the money. Use the free binoculars they offer, you can see so far out with them. I had fun finding and identifying every island I could find.

Had a wonderful time! Will return they offer a lot of information about the tower in the visitors center reenactments on the side lawn. My daughter even got engaged that day! 🫶🏼

Wonderful visitor center(opens 10am, closes 5pm) with lots of information about the war of 1812 and how the monument was built. This is a seasonal National Monument so opens early May and closes end of September. Buy your tickets to go to the top of the monument at the visitor center. Numerous types of park passes can be purchased here too. 2026 and 2027 the monument will be closed for renovation but enjoy the grounds and visitor center will still be open!

Ford Field

Mentioned on 
20 lists 
Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Ford Field, located in downtown Detroit, is the home stadium of the NFL's Detroit Lions. It offers behind-the-scenes tours and hosts various events throughout the year, making it a popular destination for sports enthusiasts. The stadium's multifunctionality allows for concerts, monster truck shows, and other events in addition to football games. Situated in historic Corktown, it is within walking distance to Comerica Park and Little Caesars Arena.
Ford Field is an epic venue for football and other events. We have been here several times, and once last year during a game, it hit 135 dB! Crazy. The Lions are fun to watch and there are lots of good food choices (at NFL prices) and some history too. It's built into the old Hudson's warehouse which is pretty historic. There is plenty of parking in ramps or surface lots.
John C — Google review
Nice, indoor football stadium near downtown Detroit that hosts the Lions and other events. Plenty of parking is located nearby and there are attractions in the area too so it is in a good location. There are a lot of restaurants around so if you want to eat before or after going to the stadium, you will have plenty of choices in that regard. The walkability to and from the stadium is nice and it being surrounded by so many other options is a plus when you visit. Overall, it is a good venue.

Hard to beat our first experience to Ford Field. Stadium was fantastic. Entertainment was awesome. Didn’t hurt that the Lions put a beat down on the Bears. Everything was super expensive, but that was no surprise. Can’t wait to go back.

What an experience! The variety of places to eat and buy souvenirs was fantastic and the bathrooms were well maintained. Clear direction for seating and you feel the excitement everywhere!

My first time at Ford Field, for a Detroit Lions game, and it was amazing! It was clean, easy to get in, out, and around, the security people were thorough, but still friendly while doing their jobs - I never felt UN-safe. Compared to old Cobo, and Joe Lewis, it felt more open and airy. I had a great experience tonight and can't wait to go back!

I took my nephew, a huge Lions fan, to the preseason game on August 16, 2025, and we had such a great time! The staff, both outside and inside the stadium, were extremely helpful — they guided us to our seats and even helped us find the food stands we were looking for. We enjoyed some pizza and snacks while watching the Lions battle it out on the field. The atmosphere inside Ford Field was absolutely electric, and it made the whole experience unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back for our next game. GO LIONS! 🦁 5/5 ⭐️
Royshawn S — Google review
I love Ford Field! The roar from the crowd is heart pounding! I took a star away only because of pricing. The food was way too expensive! 1 slice of pizza was $12 and one slice of cheese cake was $15. I restroom were clean and plenty of supplies. I recommend this place 100 %. Just bring lots of money with you to spend 🤣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Ford Field Sets the Standard for Game-Day Innovation” Ford Field isn’t just a great stadium—it’s a pioneer in fan engagement. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy, but behind the scenes, advanced technology is working to make every second better. The Detroit Lions have invested in an Analytics War Room, the first of its kind in the NFL, to monitor real-time data on crowd movement, concession lines, and even where fans are looking during key plays. This means smoother traffic flow, shorter waits, and perfectly timed content on the massive LED boards—whether it’s a replay, a hype video, or an ad for your favorite drink. The integration of CrowdIQ attention tracking and AI-powered insights ensures that every message—whether it’s an update, a promotion, or a highlight—is delivered at the right moment. Combined with the stadium’s top-notch sound system, crisp visuals, and comfortable seating, it creates a seamless blend of excitement and convenience. Add in the friendly staff, clean facilities, and prime downtown location, and you’ve got more than a venue—you’ve got the future of live sports and entertainment right here in Detroit.

Hollywood Casino- Regalo Our party of five had the pleasure of visiting Regalo for our most recent visit to Hollywood Casino. Staff was so friendly and made the experience great. Food was hit and miss. Our party ordered the calamari and meatball appetizers, Caesar salad, soup of the month, chicken Marsala, Pesto chicken dish, high roller chicken, table side cacio de Pepe and cheesecake dessert. Our favorites were the calamari and meatballs, pesto pasta dish, high roller chicken and the table side experience. Prices are appropriate for the dining experience and menu offerings. The chef shared with us that many ingredients are made fresh in house including their pasta which was definitely noticeable. Regalo is worth the visit!

Good variety of games, but very difficult tot get a drink or a bottle of water. Also management doesn’t follow the rules and always will withhold taxes even if you provide documentation which excludes you from federal taxes. They still withholded taxes and now I need to spend money to get my taxes back, they gave me a bussinuess card to discuss matter at after moment, however never relied to any of my mails or friendly reminders.

So we went to Hollywood Casino to enjoy a birthday dinner at the final cut. I have not been there in a while so we thought we give a try. We were not very impressed with the service. It took longer than espected for our drinks. The food was okay but I felt it was on the salty side as did my fellow dinner guests. We all felt that even though the server was very nice that they could have been a little more attentive. Unfortunately we will not be going back anytime soon.

Machines are expensive, but they have great comps and I have been getting lucky, almost every time I go! I have been in Ohio for a year, recently found this casino, after becoming a K card at Jacks for two years ( earned too many points). They need more staff and a phone number that they answer though. This was my second hand pay that day off of free play but my cell battery died. I wish they had more promotions too.
Amanda T — Google review
Payouts are really good on the slot machines. The slot machines and surrounding areas are always kept up and are clean. The parking area and inside the casino Is the cleanest casino I have been to. I have had questions of the staff from security to floor personnel. All have been extremely friendly and go the extra mile to help in any way they can. All of the above is a direct reflection on how well the human resources department employ the correct personnel. Additionally, there is never a shortage of hand sanitizing dispensers distributed inside the entire casino. Entrance into the casino and parking is very easy. Out of all the times I have been here, there is never a shortage of parking spaces. I highly recommend Hollywood Casino Toledo.

It's still the best casino in Mich/Ohio area! Safe, winning environment most of the time, friendly staff, great table games and slots. Along with free bets and food comps. Who could ask for more. 7/10/22 hit for 5000 on free credit bet! 1/18/25 hit on penny slot for 4500. 3/15/25 won 900 in free slots on Blinko! Then from that freeplay bonus won 1000+. And usually do very well at crap tables. Winning does happen here! Thank you, Hollywood 😊 restaurants are pretty good also.
BossMan ! — Google review
Tight machines and staff was far less accommodating than I would like to deal with. No wonder it was almost empty. Parking area is 6 foot clearance and one lane entrance into the garage so if you have a truçk over 6ft tall leave it at home or make a mental note to not use the main entrance of that parking area. I will never go there again, no matter what's going on

Amazing outlet mall!! Passing thru (NH resident here) brought my nephew to his 1st mall!! Got school clothes& shoes. Very impressed with the prices in multiple stores

While I was in the Detroit area, decided to visit this mall and was very pleasantly surprised. The mall has a large variety of different stores, many being discount outlets with good deals on their products. There was a large food court with a variety of restaurants and there are even some snack and food stores scattered throughout. Plenty of parking and very clean too. Seems to be a thriving mall and is great compared to others these days.
Jackie D — Google review
Wow!! This mall is very much thriving and packed full of great stores! This mall is what every mall in America should strive to be. The mall is very modern and architecturally fascinating inside, has a huge food court with a carousel, and the layout is very easy to follow along to see all the stores. We walked the entire mall and stopped into many stores, I dont think I saw any empty storefronts and if I did it wasn't many at all. Every mall store you expect to see is located here, and more! There were lots of stores I haven't heard of before and they were all very clean, bright, and modern. Nothing was run down here, way to go!! Highly recommend shopping here, especially since its full of outlet stores where deals can be had!

Great outlet mall, has the best stores very big and just out right amazing. Loved all the things to do for the family while still having amazing shopping options for everyone. Food choices were pretty good from what I can see but didn't eat there to give a true review. Will I go back, absolutely and live almost 4 hours away.

Great Lakes Crossing Outlets stores are not all bargains but you can definitely cash in on great deals. The food court was not good at least Popeye chicken was horrible and they didn't really speak English so they didn't honor their own coupon.

We were looking for a dance dress for my high school teen, there were plenty of stores to try, but Windsor has the best selection of all! The staff was helpful and personable. A large place to get your walking in! With a lot of food options! The best indoor place for entertaining kids.
