There's no question that the Hayes house and adjacent walks on Spiegel Grove are worthy of a visit, especially if you have any affection for presidential history. The grave is humble, despite the grounds and the property being quite grand. But on my arrival, after driving from Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, MI (President Ford's Museum/Library), there seemed to be an air of something and someone always out of place, like the man talking into his phone so loudly, on business, that you could hear him anywhere in the grove, including the grave, even as a young girl walked beside him, constantly ignored. Or the other man walking and pumping rap music through headphones as he passed by the grave a few minutes later. It's a public walking area, so it comes with the territory, but it all fed into a larger observation. Because what most gave me pause was our house tour guide, a young man who was clearly (and surprisingly) knowledgeable of the house, the Hayes family, and a wealth of other historically valuable nuggets, but who never once paused to engage with us, to see if we were keeping up, if we had any questions. He spoke a mile-a-minute and checked his phone every time we moved between rooms, hopping through facts like he was in a race to recite a full Wikipedia page before 5pm. At one point, he mentioned that Hayes was the first to host an egg roll at the White House, so I spoke up to mention that Andrew Johnson had actually been the first to do so informally, to which our guide simply deferred to his own belief, insisted he was right, and moved on, prompting me to leave the tour before the second floor. I've been to 25 presidential graves, countless presidential homes, and always appreciate those who give tours with lots of knowledge, as this young man certainly did, but failure to engage with the people on your tour, maybe benefit from or inquire about the knowledge of others, is an unfortunate flaw in this otherwise peculiar marker of worthy history.

Great experience touring the Hayes home and the grounds. Our guide Bill was very knowledgeable and gave great insight to all of the generations of Hayes. The old photos of each room and the authentic updates...amazing experience. You can spend hours here if you tour the museum also.

This has been on our bucket list for awhile and we finally made it there. Tour of the home was very nice and the guides very knowledgeable and friendly. The museum was informative and shows how far our standards have fallen when comparing Presidencies from then and unfortunately now. Those who truly care about our democracy should visit these sites and become more informed as to what real leaders are and then take those lesson to the ballot box.

Great experience and great place to take your family, and learn the history of the Hayes family.

Today's daytime took us to the quaint town of Fremont and specifically the Hayes Memorial and Library. The Parkside grounds are a lovely setting for Hayes home and Museum. Our guide Garrett was knowledgeable and gracious. A great way to learn about Ohio's contributions to US history.

We have visited all of the US Presidential Libraries and the museum portion was good. However, the Hayes house was very good. Our docent, Sarah, was super! She had a great personality and really knew the details about the house and the people who had lived in it. A few visitors asked questions that Sarah didn't know the answer but she had a tablet that she accessed quickly and supplied the answer. The grounds that surrounds the museum and house are absolutely beautiful and worth the time to walk around them. We spent about an hour and a half to visit the museum, the house tour was about an hour, and to walk around the grounds took about 45 minutes. In our opinion, it's a worth while visit.

This is a great place to visit for anyone in the area, or passing through. The sheer amount of preserved historical items is astonishing. The museum is very well put together. Our tour guide for the residence was very informative, friendly, and kept the tour entertaining. For guests with disabilities, they even restored the elevator so you can see the second floor of the house.

Such a beautifully kept, nostalgic museum. The cars are immaculate and there are so many other interesting items on display. What a wonderful walk down memory lane. As an added bonus we were permitted to allow our well-behaved dog to join in the fun!

Out of a way place that is worth a stop. My son and I were passing through Bowling Green and wanted to find an interesting place to stop. Met both the owner and mechanic; both were knowledgeable and great to talk to. Definitely worth a look.

Great place. Stopped mid day on a Thursday, and the owner was very friendly and helpful, but didn't linger and make you feel rushed. My FiL and husband spent about an hour looking at all the vehicles. They have a car show room, mechanical shop for classics, and a small gift shop. They also have slot machines and car toy memorabilia.

It was just awesome ☺️! Most of the vintage slot machines and games are working, and the cars are really in good condition! It is definitely a checkout place if you are near. The owner was very friendly and kind too.👍

Extraordinarily clean and neat. Jeff and Terry are top notch car affectionados. Courteous and polite, very knowledgeable too. We stayed as a Harvest Host member, but may end up as a collectible car owner!

--- 2023/12/21 --- Another great Harvest Hosts stay at Snook's. The collection had a few changes and Murphy (or standard poodle) always enjoys seeing Terry (mechanic and fellow auto nut). One of our favorite HH spots in Ohio. --- ORIGINAL REVIEW --- Found Snook's via Harvest Hosts and so happy we did. We arrived around 6:30pm on Sunday and we were THRILLED how large and flat their parking lot was. We identified a good spot to park our rig out of the way for the night. Setup was SO EASY because we were completely level where I stopped. 🤩 Got a good night's sleep and the next morning Murphy the standard poodle and I went inside Snook's to check out the collection. Amazing automotive collection with a working garage. Terry showed me a couple collection and customer cars he was working on. Highly recommend Snook's for automotive lovers and RV'ers alike.

Loved it! And owner Jeff Snook was tremendously nice and welcoming. Really enjoy the whole place. Walking into the old service station feel, a wonderful collection of old cars, parts, advertising, and other fun items. The cars are displayed beautifully, and there's some really fun stuff to see. I'm not sure who liked it more...my 4-year-old son or myself! Wonderful time

Had a great day on the water out here, spacious easy to read location with a ton of camping and lots of room to get in and out of the water with groups. Fast air fills and food on location. My only gripe would be access to the dive platforms is rather narrow but more problematic would be the condition of the ground there. About five feet of mud covered roots and undeveloped ground is the toll to reach the lanch deck. Again not a big deal, but definitely the worst thing on location for our visit. Fish are awesome and we'll behaved, we'll be back!

I had so much fun diving at Gilboa quarry this past Sunday. It was my first time there and I was blown away by how clear and beautiful the water was, and by all the submerged attractions. There was even halloween decorations! It made for 3 very exciting dives. Don was the employee who helped us get set up, and he was very friendly and attentive. At one point he and another employee (who I didn't get the name of) gave me and my friend a ride to the bathrooms on the back of their golf cart. It wasn't a far walk, but they went out of their way to make our time at the quarry convenient and fun! I can't wait to go dive there again!

Fantastic place to dive and train. They have everything you need to get underwater here, including air, BCDs, regs, and wetsuits. They have banked Nitrox at around 31% available. The water is unusually clear for an inland lake, and the place has a ton of fish, even a lot of trout. They threw some stuff into the quarry you can look at and swim around, such as a helicopter and an airplane. The east side of the quarry is shallow and contains most of the stuff you'd want to look at. The west side is deep and cold. In July it was 41°F at 110 ft down for us. They sell fish food for for $1 - and it's worth grabbing a bag. Just beware of how aggressive the fish will be when they discover your purchase. Equipment rentals here are VERY expensive, so bring your own gear to make it more affordable.

Excellent scuba diving quarry. Free parking up front, and free carts to take your gear to the docks. $15 for parking next to the quarry docks. Lots of camping spots too for tents, or premium spots for RV camping. It’s cheaper and less crowded during the week. Friday - Sunday is a little more expensive. Portapotties next to the quarry (bring a flashlight if it’s overcast or nighttime), and full plumbing bathrooms with private showers near the entrance. Or you can rent a single cot in the loft area.

Beautiful quarry. You can scuba dive snorkel swim there's a small Beach you can camp. So worth coming can't recommend enough for everybody to try it. My family was scuba diving I snorkeled. I still got to experience the quarries intriguing underwater features. Such as a plane and a Christmas tree farm

Gilboa is a very peaceful atmosphere. The staff are all amazing, and they are truly welcoming. It started as just a place to practice dive skills in the quarry and has turned into a 2nd home with family all around. We love it here. I'd recommend visiting. You'll most likely come back after the 1st visit.

Loved it!!! We had a great time as a family including the dogs!!! Was alot of fun for me and my kids my husband did his diving and I got to watch and learn and had some dive time myself. When I wasn't diving me and the kid's with the dogs got to swim in a little area. It was very nice just remember water shoes and bug spray. We camped for 2 nights and everyone was very nice. We are already talking about going back. Super fun place.

Took my family here for the first time and we all had an amazing time. Our tour guide Dan was very knowledgeable and did a good job on the tour. My kids also enjoyed the gem mining activity. The place was nice and clean, and they really did a good job preserving the cavern.

We've made it our mission to see all the caverns in Ohio and this is supposed to be one of the best and most colorful. The price is comparable to the other caverns (which is obnoxiously high) but we found ourselves walking out a bit underwhelmed. The tour guide was enjoyable and knowledgeable but the colors were seriously lacking for such a big claim. The formations and columns were cool and you end up going seriously deep underground but I enjoyed the self guided tours at one of the other caverns more than this tour.

We had SO much fun at the Caverns. Wonders around every corner and so incredible! Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop was spectacular and all the staff were helpful and pleasant. So blessed to have this place in Ohio. The kids also enjoyed the gem mining activity. So cool and exciting to see what they reveal in their bags. 10/10 experience. Thank you!

The Ohio Caverns were beautiful and worth the almost hour trip. Any longer probably unless you’re a traveling cave fanatic. Anyways with that being said the staff there is very nice and understanding my daughter bought tickets in advance but accidentally thought she for them for the weekend we decided to go. Unfortunately it was for the following week but they went a head and lets go that day instead. The tour guys are very knowledgeable as will. As for the cavern itself it is nice. But beware if you have claustrophobia really bad. I don’t recommend they will tell you how deep you are. If you are scared of the dark they will turn off the lights for a few moments so that you can see how dark it is if you were down there with no lights. But they will warn you before they turn them off. I also don’t recommend it for handicap people which need a walker, or wheelchair after all it is a cavern so there are low place and tight places and you have to climb 60 stairs to get out of the cavern. Now if you have a hard time walking after you make it out or if you are a elderly person who decided to go down with a cane they will send someone with a golf cart to take you back to the gift shop. You are allowed to take pictures with your phones with the flash on but not allowed to take video which is understandable since they do give you information about the caverns. If you can’t afford the caverns they do have a free trail of trees to adventure in and a lovely park; picnic area to eat and enjoy the view, and a nice gift shop to spend your money on for all those people who love all types of rocks yes I am talking about all you geologist. Lastly and most importantly if you are lucky to get to see the caverns please don’t touch the rock or the quartz down there there thing a have grown for thousands of years and will be there still growing even a small can take up 4,000 years to grow just that size. They are beautiful so please keep it that way so that everyone can see for future’s to come. Why I am saying this is because they showed a once beautiful peace of nature that they called a lucky stone that they used to let people touch on the way out that is now looks dirty from the oils of our human hands. So just be respectful and take photos and keep hands away.

We were staying at Indian Lake State Park and didn’t have many plans. Saw something for the caverns so decided to make the trip down and check them out. I’m glad we did. We did both the Historic and Natural Wonders tours. If you just want to see stalagmites and stalactites the natural wonders tour is perfect. If you like history and want to learn a little more about the area and discovery of the caverns then do the combo tour, I’m glad we did both. The caverns are 54 degrees year round. It’s been in the 90’s for the past week. I took a sweatshirt on the first tour but ended up being hot so left it in the car for the second tour. The colors are really neat and have some really cool designs. The formations are always pretty as they are always so different from place to place.

We did the nature tour and it never disappoints. Our guides were knowledgeable and their voices carried well throughout our group of around 10-12 people. My granddaughter enjoyed seeing all the formations in the caverns and wants us to take her cousins when they're in town for a visit.

I did both the history and natural wonder tours( recommend both) It started with the history tour and how it was discovered. There's not a lot of formations in this tour ( explained why in the tour) The natural wonder tour was amazing, each room we entered was beautiful. You will however hear the same jokes on both tours. But both guides were great

This is a great park for families, with so much to do here. There are playgrounds, picnic areas, and lots of trails. The covered bridge is great. There’s also a water park with slides and soccer fields. This park was much more busy than I expected it to be, but it didn’t feel crowded as it is quite spread out. The park also extends much further to the east with trails than what google maps currently shows

We visited this park while visiting our son and this is a GEM of a park. Absolutely beautifully kept, great walking trails with your choice of surfaces (gravel, paved or grass). Friendly people and city grounds people, it made these out of staters envious of what we don’t have back home! We stopped to read most of the lovely memorials to local loved ones, which just shows the type of community spirit here in Sydney.

The leaves were beautiful and it's just an awesome park!

Beautiful park! There are a ton of trails. There are concrete ones or you can do the trails in the woods. Very clean, lots of things to see. I especially enjoyed the convered bridge. Very dog friendly! We'll definitely be back! Update* if you go past the covered bridge there are ponds with turtles, fish, and more trails!

This is the most beautiful park in the area. Hands down. Sidney is small, and we have some problems goin ons. But all in all we are lucky to have a nice town. And this park is a reason why. Please visit it. It's open year round and it is a very peaceful experience. A tip for the good spots is the very back. Off pavement and the trail less traveled always seems to have this magical feel to it. Being in the seemingly endless trees as damselflies skitter about feels like a storybook.

This park is absolutely fantastic! Beautiful trails! truly an amazing city park. Loaded with history! Just as fantastic and beautiful in winter! Spring this year has been awesome! Rainbow trout in the river this year in big schools! Can't wait to wet a line

One of the best parks in West Central Ohio! Paved, gravel and dirt paths of all elevations. Multiple playgrounds for kids, fishing the Great Miami River, numerous covered bridges for very photogenic areas makes this park offer something to everyone. Check it out! Fall is a great time to visit too!

Well restored Frank Lloyd Wright work. Reasonably priced 1.5 hour tours of the building are available almost every day at multiple times. Gift shop and parking available. Would recommend as a day trip. We had a great time and learned a lot about the house, the family, and the architect.

Fascinating Frank Lloyd Wright house. Tours are scheduled, so buy tickets online and in advance. 90 minute tour is interesting whether you are a Wright expert or this is your first tour. Plenty of details and information about him and the house. The tour is required to see inside the house. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Incredible tour with a super knowledgeable guide. Our guide packed so much information into our 90 minute tour-it was amazing. She gave us a history of the home and really shined a spotlight on the amazing restoration work that had been done. Would highly recommend for anyone with even a passing interest in architecture or design.

We loved it! The tour guide made the whole visit. He clearly knew a lot about the house and FLW. You can tell he really loves sharing this with people and that really made it special. The house is beautiful and lovingly restored. You really get the feel that FLW was going for in this house. The gift shop is full of all sorts of fun things. I definitely want to go back for Christmas presents! This is not handicap accessible. There are multiple sets of stairs and no elevator.

Hidden gem in a diamond in the rough city. Springfield has such a rich architectural and cultural legacy, and it shines still despite economic downturns and negative news coverage. Don’t sleep on the Westcott House! It is a magnificent experience from start to end. Our tour guide was dynamic and super knowledgeable, and kept the entire tour engaging with captivating details.

Was not our first FLW tour … won’t be our last either. The docent spent over an hour and a half with our small group of 5. Very in depth tour and fascinating to hear about all the efforts (and successes) that went into renovations. Sort of a must do if you’re a fan of his style.

Very enjoyable and educational tour. This was my first of more to come, Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes.

The food is ok, definitely could use some flavor. In my opinion it wasn't worth the price. The ice cream and cheese curds are good. They now have rides but I have two kids with a significant age gap. I was told my older child couldn't go in the play area that my younger child could go ( one of the few things he could do there). There was only one thing they could do together. So we weren't able to do much and it was very disappointing. The kids enjoyed the animals though.

I had an absolute blast here!!! I went for the first time the other day and who knew all the awesomeness that was there to experiance! A Carousel, Feeding Goats, All the pumpkins you can imagine, and not to mention the delicious Ice Cream!! 10/10 Recommend!

Such a fun fall activity! We got the adult wristbands and did the cornmaze, wagon ride, carousel, put put, and driving range. A very fun way to spend time with friends! (There is a foul smell on the right side of the farm due to sewage water they use to water their Christmas trees…so consider that).

It's a little pricey but worth it!! The staff is amazing and we already know the ice cream speaks for its self!! They have tons of stuff for the kids to do!! Its a great time, you won't be disappointed 😉

I haven’t been here in years and it’s changed so much but is still great! The food is wonderful and the staff are so kind. It gets busy but there are plenty of places to sit. Prices are what to expect for what I consider a destination place. There is so much to do there that we did not have time for. It would be a great day out for a family with children.

Great family fun. We made a trip here and played putt putt, saw the animals, and got some ice cream. There’s a lot of other activities that were closed for the night when we got there but we will be back again to try them out. A lot of ice cream flavors and options. There was also food available.

My daughter had a company picnic there she invited us. They served youngs ice-cream i loved the peanut butter ice cream very very good. Petting animals and feeding them the gramd kids loved. Batting cages were great. Everything there was nice! Prices reasonable. One the food. Not sure on anything else cuz everything was paid for by company. I highly recommend.

MINIs of Cbus drove out from Columbus, well worth the drive! Fantastic farm out in the country with a large farm market along with a greenhouse. Lots of variety of locally grown produce and other goodies. Depending on the time of year, you can even berry pick or enjoy their sweet corn festival. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience! This is where you want to spend a beautiful Fall day. Hayrides, pumpkins, plenty of kid-fun activities, and a super friendly staff. Lots of good eats too! Be sure to check out the corn-launcher, awesome!!

Nice little farm with little playground for kids. They sell fresh products and some decorating stuff. There is a little cafeteria where you can get variety of ice cream, apple cider/ strawberry slush, BLT or hotdog.

Vegan approved!! Muscadine Jelly tastes aHHmazing!! The flavor is unique. Sweet, tart, earthy, and almost a musky taste. It has an intense grape flavor. I love it on warm biscuits!! ❤

Was at the market and could not believe all of the options they had for fresh fruits and vegetables among other things. It has really grown over the years. I was also pleasantly surprised how beautiful the hanging plants and flowers were. The customer service was outstanding. It's nice to have grown up in small town Troy and be able to get farm fresh produce and know where exactly it comes from. The Fulton family and their employees are all very attentive and so kind. Will be visiting this weekend for their sidewalk sale. Keep up the great work ...looking forward to upcoming events.

Beautiful! Very large selection of homemade foods and all local. Large variety of gifts and pumpkins! Even white ones!

Very pretty farm/ good pumpkins and family oriented

Great air and history museum! You could easily spend an entire day here. Great historical explanations surrounding the exhibits and very organized. We've been there several times with the kids through the years and always had a great time. Most recently, my daughter and I visited during a "plane talk" event and were able to meet several retired members of the flight crew of different aircraft. Highly recommend!

The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is truly one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited — and the fact that it’s completely free makes it even more unbelievable. The size of the place is massive, and each hangar takes you deeper into the history of aviation, space exploration, and the U.S. Air Force’s role around the world. The exhibits are incredibly well-organized, starting from early flight history and leading all the way to modern jets, stealth aircraft, and even space capsules. Walking through the hangars feels like stepping through different eras — from WWII bombers to Cold War jets to presidential aircraft. Seeing Air Force One up close and being able to walk inside some of the planes is such a unique experience. Every area is spotless and very well-maintained, and the amount of information available is impressive without being overwhelming. There’s something for everyone — whether you love military history, aviation technology, or just want to see some amazing aircraft in person. The staff and volunteers are also very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, which adds so much to the visit. You can easily spend several hours here without even realizing how much time has passed. The museum is perfect for families, tourists, history lovers, and honestly anyone who enjoys seeing something truly extraordinary. This is without a doubt one of Dayton’s biggest treasures, and a must-visit destination for anyone in the area.

Aviation history at its finest—absolutely world-class. This museum is a national treasure. From the Wright brothers to stealth bombers, the scale and depth of the exhibits are staggering. Four massive hangars packed with legendary aircraft, including the X-15, SR-71, and the B-29 that dropped the second atomic bomb. You can even walk through presidential planes like the one Lyndon Johnson was sworn in on. One of the most compelling exhibits is the story of “Flying the Hump”—the daring WWII airlift over the Himalayas to resupply Chinese forces after the Japanese cut off the Burma Road. Pilots flew from India to China through brutal weather, 18,000-foot altitudes, and zero navigation aids. It was dubbed the “Skyway to Hell”, and rightly so: over 500 aircraft were lost, and more than 1,300 crew members perished. Yet this mission was vital to keeping China in the fight and ultimately helped turn the tide in the Pacific Theater. The layout is intuitive, the signage is clear, and the staff—many of them veterans—are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Best part? Admission is free. You could easily spend a full day here (or several) and still not see everything. Whether you're an aerospace engineer, a military buff, or just curious about flight, this place will leave you inspired. One of the best museums in the country, hands down.

If you like airplanes and history, this is probably the best collection you'll ever see, minus the Smithsonian. Tons of interactive exhibits, for all ages. The volunteers are all super nice, especially the tour guides, and speak from a wealth of knowledge that's irreplaceable.

I cannot rate this place high enough! We had a pre-planned business event here with a catered lunch. We had the museum to ourselves (a group of 30 or so) due to the furlough, but they were able to accommodate us for the afternoon. I am a Navy Vet (specifically naval aviation) and history fanatic so I got to be a huge nerd and had a blast! They let us ride the scooters through the museum since they hadn’t been used in a while. And it was amazing seeing all these planes close up and to be able to read the history! I already want to plan a trip back, because I don’t think I even saw a fraction of what this place holds!!

So glad we took the time to visit this place. It costs nothing to go in, and there's so much to see and do. My toddler had a great time getting to see everything. They also have several planes you get to go inside of or sit in the cockpit of. There are also several interactive exhibits that are great for kids. Overall, it's an amazing display of an important part of history, while also preserving it all exceptionally well.

Must-visit for any plane enthusiast. Didn't have as much time as would be needed to take everything in fully, but that was ok because admission is free, and I still got to see what I had hoped to. Only thing missing I would have liked to see was a C-5, but other than that they have all the sought after aircraft in the USAF fleet, including things like a B-2 and SR-71.

Lots of different and unique displays many dealing with Dayton history and manufacturing. There were displays that interest kiddos of all ages. There is a half scale train that was running every hour, a tube slide and a carousel. There was an enormous display of cash register and some toys manufactured in the area. An interactive model train town was very popular. Various displays of trains, Street cars, bicycles, early cars, and Wright brothers and birth of flight.

Wonderful place to go and spend the day learning and reminiscing about Dayton and all its contributions. Brought back so many memories and was able to tell grandkids about the places. So many neat things to see and learn about. They do a great job of restoring and maintaining the vast museum items and artifacts. They even have a working carousel and train, and you can’t forget about the working printing press. They have a great section about the devastating 1913 flood. This place is to be enjoyed by young and old alike. And if you’re adventurous enough, climb the 8 story tower that holds the old Gem City clock. So much to see.

A must-visit gem in Dayton! Carillon Historical Park is one of the most impressive and well-designed historical sites I’ve ever visited. It perfectly blends education, history, and nature — making it enjoyable for both adults and kids. From the moment you enter, you can tell how much care and effort has gone into preserving Dayton’s incredible history, especially its deep connection to innovation and aviation. The exhibits are fascinating — especially the Wright Brothers section, which gives you a real sense of how much Dayton contributed to the world of flight. The Carillon Tower itself is breathtaking, both in scale and in the way it symbolizes the city’s heritage. I also loved exploring the old buildings, vintage trolleys, and beautifully restored machinery — it truly feels like stepping back in time. The park grounds are beautifully maintained, with peaceful walking paths, scenic spots for photos, and plenty of benches to relax. The staff and volunteers are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do — they make the history come alive. Don’t miss the Brewery and the Carillon Brewing Co., where you can enjoy excellent food and locally brewed beer in a historical atmosphere — it’s such a unique experience! Whether you’re a history lover, an aviation enthusiast, or just looking for a great day out in Dayton, Carillon Historical Park is absolutely worth the visit. It’s educational, inspiring, and beautifully done — a true treasure for the city and anyone who loves American history. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

New to the Ohio area and live about 25 minutes South of here so we decided to come check it out. Really glad we did! First the people working here are awesome. Helpful, kind and informative. We walked the entire area, road the big train and even jumped on the little train for a ride. Little train isn't always available to ride but apparently we came on the right day...throws you back to feeling like a kid for a few minutes! The grounds are kept up well, the walk is easy and relaxing and the big train is a nice relaxing ride around the park. Sit is the right place near one of the staff and they'll fill you in on the history and anything else you would want to know about. The park is full of history. I had no idea about the industrial impact Dayton had on the country at one time. Each stop at a new building is rich with information and there are plenty of cool things to look at. Wright brothers Museum was just as good as the rest of the park. Much larger than expected and lots of details about the Wright brother and their first flights. Overall it was neat to be thrown back in time and see where innovation has brought us. Even if you're not a big fan of history, it's worth the visit to check out some cool things on a relaxing walk around the park.

Absolutely love it! It was a spontaneous decision to go here as a date. It was a hit like escaping the city and going on vacation. You really will feel like you're not in Dayton Ohio. They have many things to see, and you must get the all-day train pass. Then before you leave, get some of the great food at their restaurant!

I visited Carillon Historical Park for the antique fire apparatus show and had a fantastic experience. It was a joy to photograph the vintage equipment and explore the park’s well-curated exhibitions. The park is exceptionally clean, easy to navigate, and offers a rich, engaging display of Dayton’s industrial history. A must-visit for history and photography enthusiasts alike!

Nice experience with the family. Special place to know about technology history in Dayton. Wonderful place with nice trees and original houses. The experience is fantastic for adults and kids.

If you are looking for great quality kitchen gadgets this is the place . Look around upstairs then go downstairs and check out the bargains. A short display of their history is also downstairs .We were thier on a holiday weekend and got large discounts on the items we bought .The staff is also very helpfull with any questions.

We just purchased the Professional HD. When we took it out of the box the logo was bent and peeling off. Very disappointing after spending so much money. Needs better quality assurance control. I know they had a backlog of orders to process but still this is no excuse. I hope we find nothing else wrong and that this was just a small mistake. Made in America is great and so should the quality.

Once a year we go to the KitchenAid Experience to shop during the Greenville sidewalk sales, and what a great time! Their high quality merchandise is a wonderful addition to my kitchen, where I do a lot of cooking and baking, and the store itself is beautiful! It even has a section in the basement that is like a small museum, where you learn about the evolution of this dynamic company!

Shopping for Kitchen Aid product during the sidewalk sale in Greenville is fun. There are plenty of KitchenAid products on hand. Checkout moves quickly and several friendly faces are on hand to help with anything you need.

You MUST go to the basement!! That's where the insane deals are! And a really cool mini museum!! The staff is so helpful and able to answer any questions about there products!!

Interesting cooking demo (with samples) plus museum, with bonus shopping experience

Lines were long, but people were patient and pleasant. Hard to look at everything due to lines and what I really wanted didn't go on sale until Saturday. However, they do take phone orders, know your item SKU, if possible. I think someone said free shipping on orders over $50. Fun to do once, but I'll shop online or via phone next time. 😉

Had an amazing time…went as a family with our 4, 6, and 8 year old. Didn’t get off the island in time but had the best time!! Aaron was a GREAT game master and we can’t wait to come back! Thanks for all the clues - we will be getting more next time! Awesome adventure!

This is now our 5th time at breakout games, and once again they have not failed to deliver a fun and engaging experience. This time it was just me and my fiance, and we had a blast. Being pretty experienced allowed us to escape even with just 2 brains! Kavan was an amazing game master, kept things fun and mysterious the entire escape. Definitely will be returning with more friends to do one of their newer escapes!

Moss helped us complete the Museum Heist game! They are super funny and he worked with us on numerous occasions, before the game, during, and after. Great experience!

Breakout Games in Dayton with Megan as our room master was amazing!! We had a blast and can’t wait to come again.

Kidnapping 2 was so fun...challenging, but fun! Megan was a fun game master! Can't wait for new rooms to come out!

Aaron was a great game master! We played The Island this time around with 4 adults and ran out of time but got very close - only two puzzles to go. We have played multiple rooms and The island is in my top three. Definitely worth a visit if you like escape rooms.

Kelly is an absolute baller of a host. 10/10 would recommend, give this girl a raise. I played Kidnapping 2, pretty dal but Kelly made it fun.

Great park to relax, have a picnic and even has shelter houses to use. There is a huge splash pad for kids. Skateboard park and even a nice level walking trail. I have to admit I love to take my lunch go to the park and watch plans land or take off as well as hot air balloons. Totally worth visiting and finding something fun to do.

Awesome spot for relaxing and having a picnic or skydiving even! Soccer fields and great Christmas lights for FREE! Fishing pond and skate park... Wide open spaces. What else do you need except a kids splash pad and bathrooms which they also have ! Fantastic park for the local people there !

We moved out of the area 20 years ago. While visiting family, who still live in the area, we visited Smith Park. We were surprised it hadn't changed much, but it is (and always was) a nice park to take your kids OR your furry family members. Decent playground, plenty of parking, picnic tables and walking trail.

Went here during the hot air balloon festival. It was reasonable and fun. They had airplane rides by the butler county warbirds which the museum is near by and great to go spend some time there. They have helicopter rides and tethered hot air balloon rides as well sponsored by someone else. The car show was cool and so was the air show. The shops that set up most was local with great merchandise and nice owners. I enjoy coming here every year. It just keeps getting better.

It is a rather large park with lots to do. We went just for the playground. It was decent. Kind of lack luster considering the size of the park. They did have a small splash pad which was closed for the season. My kids had fun but its not a playground I would go out of my way to go to.

My son and I enjoy the splash pad and park. The skate park in the back is very nice too. We play soccer here during the week and its a very family friendly park. It offers awnings to cook out, gather, or even a birthday party. It also has bike trails and a pond to feed the ducks. It can be very busy at times but still a nice place to have fun with your kids.

We love smith park, but the geese are a bit much since they literally poop on everything. We went a couple of days ago and the splash pad was covered in geese poop. I hope it's clean now

The trail is well designed and maintained, I biked from Richmond to Muncie and back in late March 2024. For people who are biking long distances, we really need the water sources turned on, I realize that they are turned off due to possible freezing weather. Otherwise it was a good workout

A very nice place to kick around and have a little break while you were walking

I love the Cardinal Greenway! It’s a great local resource and I’m on it nearly every day. The Greenway staff do a great job keeping the Greenway clear, especially after stormy weather. It has a number of trailheads, many of which have portable toilets.

This old Muncie train depot was a really cool stop on my road trip. The gentleman inside was extremely helpful and friendly. He pointed out the low spot in the floor where the ticketmaster stood. Such beautiful architecture. Now a stop on the bike path.

Very nice rails-to-trails bike path. The pavement outside of Muncie is some of the smoothest I've ridden. Tree roots are starting to push up the pavement in a few places, but it's still very smooth overall.

Awesome place to take a break from riding. Get some water in you. Then peddle away

Very nice trail nice scenery. I recently rode 81 miles on my Catrike with e-assist. Had a blast!

We stayed here twice when we were on vacation in Ohio. Very nice Cabins and surroundings. They have pools, volleyball court, a basketball court, and other amenities. They also have a nice beach and great customer service

Great place for the family. Hiking, fishing ,swimming, boating, bird watching. This park has it all. The trails are nice,the campground is really nice. Lots to do for all. Fossil and rock collecting in the creek.

The park has a variety of options for your stay including RV, tent, lodge, cabin, equestrian, primitive and groups. There is a large Pavillion in the campground. They provide many activities such as nature walks, flora and fauna talks, and more. Acton Lake offers a beach, marina, and fishing. You can rent boats as well. There are 18 hiking trails of various lengths and difficulty.

Hueston Woods State Park is one of the most beautiful state parks in Ohio. The park is undergoing some renovations (as of May 2025) and I can’t wait to see the new and improved facilities and roads!!

Its an absolute great state park to visit great trails and nature center its one of the better ones we have visited so beautiful

Great park.. although it's not very well maintained. Pretty disappointing how much it's been let go

I really enjoyed it! Nice swimming area overlooking boats going by in the distance. Clean environment. I enjoyed it way more than the other lakes we've gone to in the past. Will definitely be going back

I NEED a place like this near my house! I've never seen such an incredible produce and international food selection in one place before! I would have never thought a grocery store could count as a tourist attraction but when my wife pointed out "We're like 8 miles from Jungle Jim's" my only possible reply was SAY NO MORE!

The best store in the world! No comparison. It has everything you can think of and more! Wished had more time to explore and had brought a cooler to take back all the amazing products! will definitely come again and more prepared!

I loved this store it had almost everything from different countries. No matter if it was food to household stuff. Sure something could be a little expensive to buy but that is with any store. Like for instance I told my girls that I’d rather stay in Canada then go to Russia depression items expensive we’ve been doing in the store. They were right next-door, one step to the right there in Russia. It was kind of cool to think we can travel all around the world without leaving United States. The negative about the place was sometimes it was crowded in areas with people. but with that being said, it wouldn’t stop me from coming again. The girls would like to go back at some point my girls would like to go back and do a cooking class there. And this is nothing to do with the store, but if you bring your kids and they like weird food and snacks, be prepare to have some money with you and a nose plug because you will get all kinds of smells from fish to age old cheese etc. FYI the have pretty good ice cream shop on the inside I especially love the caramel apple pie ice cream

Love this place! Eye candy everywhere!!! So many things to look at, see and be delighted by. All the international foods and products you could ever want. Plus your regular groceries in the middle. There's something for everyone here! Sweets, a full bakery with beautiful cakes. Plenty of aisles of everything from all the various countries around. A fish market, fruit and produce, all kinds of cheese. I can't begin to say what all I saw so I added some pictures to tell ya!!

All I can say about this place is…WHAT??? It’s such a huge store with a huge variety of everything you can think off from toys, kitchen supplies to literally thousands of food aisles filled with international foods. Every corner was a new surprise, the place is filled of cool statues and animatronics (the Elvis one freaks me out but he is chill) and the vibes are just so cool. This place is a 10/10 from the parking lot to the bathrooms and more. Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone and I can’t wait to be back! 😁

This is probably one of the best grocery stores ive ever been in! The selection in all international foods is exceptional! This is a must have place on your bucket list! We spent hours in here and could have spent a lot more!!

What a fun place to shop. There are other businesses attached to this building as well. The decor at Jungle Jim's is really wild. There is fun lifsize decor all throughout this place , always be looking around and specially look up. It's hard to shoo this store and see everything and not miss a section as the aisles are all lined up and there is additional sections all over the store. We went on our way home and it was supposed to be a quick trip. We ended up being inside for 4 hours and left not even seeing it all. The groceries available are from all over the world. If your a cheese fan , this is cheese heaven with cheeses from all over the world and many coolers full.

Unique park with different art inside. Opted to rent a golf cart and that was fun but a bit too pricey. Overall it's a neat place to visit but I don't think I will go back. History of the owner was not appealing and it was lots of empty space. Good to visit once but I'd say that was enough

Cute park with varied sculptures. Not as big as I was expecting. I wish it were more walkable and less centered on vehicles/golf carts. We spent about 1.5 hours there. Not sure if it was worth $30 each but we had a good time! We also wished we could buy tickets in advance online, but they do take credit cards at their stand as your drive in.

Recently became a member here after my first visit and was bringing a car full of ppl with me a week later. Closer to any antiquities than ever before. Its like a museum but you get a better view to the displays. The staff has been very nice too.

Great place to take a walk and look at sculptures. 2 major problems though. 1 a lot of the art is placed a long way from the walking trail with no paths up to it. Have fun tromping through the grass. 2nd problem, the gallery loop is supposed to be a 2 mile walk, we were roughly 2.5 miles into the walk and cut across the hill to finish the walk. Management any place that has crossing roads and trails needs to have clearly marked signage!!! Fix the 2 problems and this becomes a 4 to 5 star review

Filled with scriptures outside as you drive thru, walk or rent a golf cart. Beautiful setting. 400 acres of beautiful nature. 3 Museums filled with extraordinary pieces of art. A must see for sure.

Renting an Art Cart at the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is a fun and efficient way to explore, especially if you have a limited time. It allowed us to see everything the park has to offer, from the many sculptures to the two on-site museums. A highlight was touring The Pyramid House, the former home of park founder Harry T. Wilks, where it all began. The museum guide was very informative, providing a deeper appreciation for the art and the park's history.

Always enjoyable. Think next time we're renting a golf cart. There are golf cart only spots unless you walk.

Beautiful campus, great presentations, cool student tour guides. My students truly enjoyed the campus visit. We had a great time. Thank you Miami.

No matter the season, this campus is a beautiful place to be! It has all the feelings of being in a Hallmark holiday movie.. the campus is absolutely gorgeous..The Fall foliage, to the flowers that are planted along campus during the spring and Summer.. or the gorgeous art and architecture that is around with the beautiful winter snow.. Mami university.. Oxford, Ohio.. is a beautiful place to visit, attend school, explore, live..

Met with Farmer Business School Professor Emeritus and 4th year student to get a tour and info. Beautiful campus, buildings, overall feel of the school is 5*.

Such a beautiful campus! Just to see some of these hand built stone bridges is amazing

We were there for the Business School graduation today. They know how to get all the graduates in fast! I couldn't believe how many graduates didn't return to their seats and left as soon as getting their diplomas.

We toured Miami today and it's a beautiful campus. It has such cool history and has a lot of neat quirks. Our tour guide, Sia, was an absolute delight, giving us history but also a lot of great personal stories to highlight the uniqueness of the campus.

Very nice campus! I'm impressed by all the safety measures they take there. From the cross walk flashing lights to the emergency call boxes all around.

Pictures kinda describe my feelings when adventure was over!!! Ha. Be prepared to walk. Had mid age grandkids and a fine spring day to enjoy. Restrooms open at the time of our visit in April

This is a beautiful park with easy trails and breathtaking views. At some point, I wondered if I should start looking for hobbit homes! The history of the mounds is really cool and the main reason for visiting!

There’s more to this park then meets the eye. At the center of it, Is this 2000 year-old Adena Hopewell earthwork that is a must see. Looks like a stage or a solar observatory to not only track celestial objects but to dance amongst the stars and moon. The state park is beautiful and well taken care of. I highly recommend coming here and taking a walk and checking out the scenery.

Beautiful and interesting park. Plenty of hiking trails, a gift store, restrooms.

Beautiful state park! Great trails and easy accessibility to bring the kids.

We took Muffin here and I was shocked at how far she walked! It’s mostly shady, which is super nice. There are benches and places to sit along all the trails which is great if you’re out of shape like me 🤣

Nice trails at Mounds State Park. You want to see the fall colors on the trees, go for a hike! It is much prettier in the woods than driving around in a car. Trails 2&4 were listed as Rugged, but I didn't find them difficult at all. They do have a couple good size Boardwalks with some stairs. I enjoyed all the trails today and will be back.

This review is strictly for the horse racing track, I have not been into the casino yet. I had a wonderful time watching harness racing at Hoosier Park. I've been to lots of Thoroughbred races before, but this was my first time seeing harness racing live. The track was setup nice. You can get right down on the rail at the finish line. The staff were all friendly.

Been here waiting for at least 30 mins to get this issue fixed. Found a staff walking around and said he couldn't help, got to wait for someone to come. Place is definitely understaffed. Edit: Woah! Ended leaving the machine as it was taking forever, but a fellow patron walked up to me at a different slot machine, completely different area, after like 2 hours later to let me know staff had taking fixed the issue and a voucher should be with the security. Super cool! Place may be understaffed but the customers are all super cool!. 3 stars now for amazing folks here

I went here around my birthday and had some fun. The casino itself is pretty nice. They have a good variety of different games to play. I like how close the location is to me so I don’t have to drive hours to get to it. I’d say my biggest complaint would be that there were a lot of cigarette butts left sitting on the slot. Some weren’t even In try’s. They were just left on the machine. Also in the same vein it smelt heavy of cigarettes in there. But other than that it’s a decent casino.

This has been a great place to visit. I enjoy just taking 20 bucks and trying my luck. Sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I don't. The atmosphere is great, it's clean, and have had some amazing conversations with people I just met. And enjoying the new food places they've recently added.. Definitely want to add this as a date night with your special someone..

The upgrades they have made have improved the overall atmosphere and experience. Food is good and prices are as expected at a place like this. The more open concept is good for mobilty accessibility. Not very accessible for visually impaired, though. The restrooms all have 2 accessible stalls. Due to the type of patrons at this location (a lot of elderly), more accessible parking spaces (especially van accessible parking) would give this 5 stars from me.

I was on vacation with family for a family reunion and we were taking here. It was a beautiful experience. Mom in a walker parking easy and elevator. I'm not personally one to visit casinos. However, the staff were nice with consideration for my mother. Confused on a lot of machines so I lost 35 within 10 minutes of play time. However I walked to find machines I'm more use to. I played 400 and cashed at for 440. So I broke even with a 5 in my pocket. My only complaint is no sit down restaurant, plus only sandwich type food. Nice place to watch football games also

Went to your Casino wasn't impressed. unisex Bathroom to the left of the men's.Was DIRTY,NO TOILET PAPER, PEOPLE URINING ON THE FLOOR, back in the day when going to Hollywood casino or Grand Victoria they were clean and I won a little and got Hotel Rooms.THINK I will GO Back! Just hate the drive

Such a lovely mill in a cozy little town. The state museum does such a great job with education about the history and operation of the mill. Be sure to call ahead and ask about the times for grind demos where you can watch fresh corn being ground into cornmeal and grits. You can buy it right here on the spot! I love making jalapeño cornbread from the Metamora Grist Mill cornmeal.

Cute little town. The fudge was great and the gem mining was a cool experience

It’s an interesting site to visit. It’s a nice break from the shopping district. Take a walk over the bridge and learn more about local history. There is no charge to visit. The restroom was very clean.

Well I guess how much you will enjoy this place depends on your expectations. Are you looking for a nice day out? Does a small town with quant shops sound interesting? Then go. Leave your 5 star, high adrenaline expectations home and relax and enjoy

A step back in time. Very knowledgeable staff at the grist mill. Interesting shop with the cookie jars and ice cream. Most shops are only open on the weekends.

Quaint little village from the good Ole days. Worth the trip should be really nice during summer and fall .

Wo perfume place energy is high

I love seeing shows at Ruoff! Whether you’re in the pit, seats, or the lawn, you’ll have a great view and a great time. The pit is a bit small, so it is easier to get in and out if you need to. I like that the entrance to the lawn is at the front, as opposed to some with lawn entrances from the back. Food and drinks are way overpriced, but that’s concert venues nowadays. The staff and atmosphere are 10/10. Great concert venue.

Came here to see Pierce The Veil. The venue staff is absolutely amazing compared to some venues I’ve been to, they’re so happy to help and have all the info you will need. We were driving around the parking lots 2-4 am until some workers came in, advised us what time lining up would be allowed, and due to their info we were able to get a great spot in line and into the venue quickly. On top of that, inside the venue they kept us dry during the storm, figured out how to keep the show going, and kept us all in line and orderly. I wish they had photographers by security so I could find a picture of my bestie and I on the barricade, but that has nothing to do with a bad rating. This is a great venue and I would travel to it again to see more shows!

This venue was perfect for our concert. There were no bad seats and I love that it was like a little town inside, with so many options for food, merch, and even free water to refill your bottles.

Rain delay but we had VIP and got to wait in the bar area. Saw Pierce The Veil and the band was great! Due to the rain I'm glad we had seats under the pavilion. All the staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Great arena and would definitely go again.

Enjoy my experience every time I visit Runoff Music Center (or as we all still call it Deer Creek!). This time was no exception. Had a wonderful time seeing some of my kids' favorite bands. Will be back for another show soon. 😉

I went for Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. This is a good venue. There is plenty of space for merch and a lot of food and drink options. Everything is overpriced, but less so than some other midwestern venues. They have a mix of seating and open lawn and I did find it irritating that they needed to see my ticket every time I came back to my seat. I think wristbands would have been easier.

This is great outdoor space! They have plentu of parking options, the in and out is super organized. Lots of ticket checkers with a speedy process. The facility was clean the staff was nice. The food and the alcohol was pricey, but the loaded nachos are worth it. Loved it!

The Hot Air Balloon Festival at Conner Prairie was a magical experience. Colourful balloons filled the sky at sunrise, creating a breathtaking view. The atmosphere was festive with music, food, and family-friendly activities. A perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, it’s definitely worth attending.

Headless Horseman Absolutely loved this event! My family and I had an amazing time! We didn’t get to do everything they had to offer, there was so much! We absolutely loved the Marinette show, the magic show and the fire throwers. Of course the headless horseman wagon ride stole the show! That was so much fun! The food was some of the best! I wished I had filmed the marionette and magic show, it was also like a comedy show in addition to each one. We are looking forward to coming again next year!!!! 100% worth the cost of tickets! Thank you to everyone who made this happen! Everyone did an amazing job! The food vendors were awesome too!

Good experience, bring cards - they don’t always accept cash. The kids had a great time and there was plenty to do. The guides who talked about fur trading, weaving, etc. were all really fun and knowledgeable. We were there from 11-3 and still hadn’t gone through every area since the kids (ages 4-10) spent a lot of time playing on the playground and at the treehouse outpost. They were filthy, exhausted, and happy. Fell asleep 5 minutes after we left. One major concern was that we found out after arriving that they had recently implemented “cashless weekends”. Since I specifically brought cash for the day, that turned out to be a big problem. The cafe is the only place to eat and wouldn’t take my money. Couldn’t buy balloon ride tickets. If I hadn’t had Applepay, I would have had to leave the entire property and drive elsewhere in Fishers for lunch, which would not have been so frustrating if it had been made clear in advance. I can’t find any mention anywhere of them being cashless on their website. That should definitely be made clear to guests planning a visit. Otherwise, great experience.

Participated in the event of Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s largest, most impactful fundraising event Take Steps to raise funds to accelerate research, advance treatments, and provide programs and support to improve the quality of life for those living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Event was on June 14th, 2025 at Conner Prairie, Fishers, Indiana. Although a rainy day but remarkable people attended with rain suites and umbrellas. Very well organized, opened with introductions, speeches and finally a walk. My daughter is a member of this foundation, that make me a proud father.

Me and my boyfriend had a good time at the headless horseman festival! The mozzarella sticks with marinara and witches brew (apple cider) slushy was really good not to mention their baked soft Halloween cookies!! Never had a cookie that melts in my mouth like butter! It was a very cute place to hang out see some interesting shows and eat good food! The regular corn maze was fun! The scary one had just one area of clowns that its not really much to it or scary at all but a good laugh not worth the wait though if there is a line no pop out scares besides one time I think they are low staffed but overall pretty fun to walk through and just vibe. The hay ride cost more it’s not included in the 27 dollar general admission it’s an extra 10 dollars and needs to be reserved which sucked for us because we where looking forward to that experience.

Conner Prairie is an absolute gem for Indy residents! I've started going more often for different programs and events (The Hot Air Balloon Festival is NOT to be missed!) and regret not taking advantage of my proximity to this local Smithsonian-affiliate sooner. Taking my nephews to a birding event there this weekend and we are all so excited!

Great place to learn about local history and enjoy a relaxing day. Highly recommended for families, history lovers, and anyone curious about the past!

A very unique sight on a traditional courthouse square. Also has a veteran's memorial that is worth seeing, too. Not often that you'll see a quote from Calvin Coolidge in stone, but this is a good one!

How unique and cool! Would love to see inside today, just walked by it. Love that they embrace it there.

Most towns have a little something that makes them unique . . . but a tree growing out of the top of courthouse. The Courthouse Tree is a very unique sight growing 110 feet above where you would expect a tree to be growing. The original was first noticed in the early 1870's. The Veterans Memorial on the Courthouse grounds is nicely done. The Town Square is nice with many locally owned small businesses and others in the area. There are places to gather and eat, get a cup of coffee, shop, and get a tattoo.

Went to check this out myself after reading about it.

Yes, it's a real tree. It just appeared with the seeds blown by the wind or dropped by birds. And it's growing. The county clearly helps it along as it's a tourist draw.

Very interesting tourist attraction. One proof why being lazy (not cleaning the roof) can pay off, haha #funny #indiana #ExploreUSA

Beautiful tribute to all of our veterans. I loved the variety older architecture in the town. We were able to take a lot of beautiful pictures of the courthouse and surrounding area. Truly worth going to

Very good and large museum for all ages of children. It's interactive and knowledge sharing for children. It's great place to take your children here. You must have enough time in hand to see indoor as well as out door facilities. Nicely made museum.

This was probably the highlight of our trip! We spent 6 hours here and recommend planning for a full day here. We bought tickets in advance and took a look at all the exhibits ahead of time so we weren't overwhelmed on where to start. This museum is great for families with kids of all ages. It is super stroller friendly with the ramp to get from one floor to another. You were never more than a tiny walk to a bathroom, great diaper changing areas, water bottle refills, and benches. The Playscapes area was great for our toddler to run around and burn off some energy. All three of our kids loved the outdoor sports exhibit! They played hockey, baseball, football, basketball, took a lap around the mini speedway, and climbed through the tree! This place has it all. The cafeteria was excellent for lunch and has a highchair. Lots of great learning and core memories made here! Cannot recommend enough!

Great immersive museum for children. There’s areas for babies and under 5 and then areas meant for kids 8-9+ and plenty for adults to see as well. Unfortunately the weather was a bit cold so we missed the outside sports area, but it looked very fun. The blown glass sculpture and water clock were were impressive, as were the large dinosaurs inside and outside. Free parking was great, but I wish adult admissions weren’t so expensive or perhaps a discount for second parent to offset the price. It was around $90 for our family of 3. If we lived closer we’d definitely become members.

The 3 little ones and some family really had an amazing time at the Museum. They were able to create(color) their own dinosaur and watch it come to LIFE! They tried the outdoor sports center and went up the huge treehouse! Enjoyed playing music and seeing all of the different exhibits. They had a great time and absolutely LOVED it!

The best Children's Museum I've ever been to. They have everything and its hours of fun for every age. We have a membership so we can dig deep in different areas and never feel like we have to do the whole Museum in a day! Every staff member I have ever seen has a smile on their face and is so helpful and caring. When my 3 year old was throwing a tantrum about leaving, several staff members asked if she was ok and if there was anything they could do to help.

Super cool experience and highly recommend! Going on Thursdays at 4 pm will get you a big discount on tickets. Is a great place for children to be children and explore a safe space where everything is touchable.

My family has always wanted to try this museum but the timing never worked out until yesterday! We went on a summer weekday when some Indiana schools were already in session. We went with 4 adults and three kids ages 4, 9 & 11. We bought tickets in advance and parked in the free covered lot. Entry was a breeze and my kids immediately found activities to interest them. We ate at the museum and the food was good (better than many other museums) and very good choices. Prices seemed fine. We were busy from 11-3 and then had to leave but missed two floors! I think my 11yo might be aging out but anyone into sports or solving mysteries would still love it! I would go back! The special Peru exhibit was our favorite, followed by the sports area and the Rube Goldberg Machine.

An absolute amazing collection of art from all genres, and all areas of the World. Tons of interactive displays, and the LUME Experience was wonderful. My daughter, and I truly enjoyed the museum. The staff was fantastic, and the building was extremely clean. A great place to take family, friends, clients, dates, etc… I’m so glad we decided to make the trip.

Beautiful Museum set on Lovely Grounds featuring many Walking paths thru a Garden like setting. The Museum has 4 Floors that exhibit various cultural Art works. The 4th floor is currently featuring an immersive experiential exhibit on Australia's indigenous peoples, the Aboriginies. Definitely a must see.

I love this place. It's historic and beautifully decorated. Easily accessed from I-65 it's a wonderful experience to walk through the gardens and grounds. The museum is top notch too but I'm more of an outdoor person so the Newfields gardens and grounds really appeals to me.

I didn't know what to expect and just really loved the museum. I can tell that they've made an admirable effort to include underrepresented artists. I also loved all of the pairings of different art pieces so that I could really think about the pieces and notice new things. This museum is also perfect for children! What an amazing job they've done at helping students cultivate an interest and connect with art. I also had lunch and visited the gift shop and would recommend both.

THE LUME IS COOOL! Digital projections that bring art themes to life! If your somone who wants to experience the colours and see art in a new interpretation this is fascinating! For those with the Access Pass it’s 5.00 per two people. VERY romantic too ! We enjoyed it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harvest Nights at Newfields Harvest Nights at Newfields is an amazing visual experience that perfectly blends art, light, and atmosphere. The grounds are filled with stunning photo ops, delicious snacks, and tasty beverages — ideal for both families and date nights. The mix of glowing visuals and fun, slightly eerie sounds creates a magical fall vibe that’s both exciting and cozy. Arrive just before dark to catch the full transformation as the lights come alive. Absolutely worth a visit — 5 out of 5!

I went to the garden and felt i got transported to a totally different place, i arrived very late and should have planned it properly beforehand, there is lots to see in the garden, very well maintained and deserves full appreciation to the team who dedicated lots of their efforts. Serene and beautiful, every step feels lighter and you cant stop gazing every where trying to soak it all in. Perfect place for weddings or intimate events or photo shoots.

What a great day at the ballpark! Found covered parking nearby in a museum garage for $10. Food and drink at the ballpark are plentiful and priced fairly. Clean restrooms. Fun entertainment between innings. A super great day with the Indians baseball team!

Such a great day at the ballpark. I'm originally from San Diego, California, so coming to a smaller ballpark was amazing. I wouldn't think that it would be that great, but my family and I had a lovely time. Not only were the mascots entertaining, but the crowd was so amazing. The food was delicious. Fourteen and under eat free on Sundays. We will definitely be back to watch another game. Thank you, Victory Field, we truly enjoyed ourselves.

Cool stadium! Active super fans. Lots of food places and two indoor league shopping stores. Misting machines. Doggy games. Lots of vendors. There is something for everyone. Walking distance from the Hyatt Regency.

Went to an Indianapolis Indians game for the first time and it was great!! Victory Field is beautiful and the game featured the Indians vs. the Iowa Cubs. It was a pitching duel through 10 innings and a 0-0 score then Iowa broke loose for 7 runs in extra innings. The game was well played by both teams. We enjoyed our seats and had some great food from concessions too. Many thanks to all at Victory Field for a great experience!

Super fun stadium right in the heart of downtown. Plenty of parking options in the area. Great lawn and stands where you'll be close to the action anywhere. Tons of food and drink stations spread out.

Every ticket that’s in any # section is under 25$ , food isn’t as overpriced as it is at most sporting events , concession stands for every section , barely ever any wait times

Home of the best baseball stadium. Great time affordable for families. Kids and adults enjoy it. Nothing like kicking back and relaxing to a baseball game.

The stadium was great. The blast of air conditioning was a welcome relief from the heat outside. There was some technological issues verifying our tickets that delayed our entry into the building and thereby caused us to miss much of the pregame. Still not sure what happened but eventually all nine of us entered. We were in the back of the mid-level and our view was unobstructed. The toilets were sufficient. The food was as expected.

FFA national convention is hosted there and Evans high school which I teach at, and I am the FFA advisor. This year was our first time going to the national conference. And we really enjoyed ourselves. The stadium is great. This was my first time visiting Indiana and its beautiful. I love the way their landscaping with beautiful flowers and crops. Such as cabbages, different types of lettuce, Swiss Chard. It's just beautiful lavender everywhere.

We went to see the BOA Nat.Championships Finals. It was so cool! The stadium is clean, has nice restrooms, Lucas Oil grill serves pretty good burgers (they also have veggie burgers). Clear bag policy was not enforced. Temperature was fine until the AC started blowing cold air from above after 9 pm. Parking in close proximity for $20 (cash or card).

There are a ton of entrances you can’t actually get through. Following the crowd works fine, and security moves quickly once you figure out where to go in. Beers run about $17 for the big cans, and you’re limited to two per person. They’ll ask you to leave a tip—minimum 15% (hard pass)—and claim it goes to some charity.

Not a whole lot to say about it. It's a stadium. The seats in the club section are very roomy. The standard seats are pretty small. Crowds are usually not too wild. The concessions are reasonably priced for sporting events versus other stadiums. The concessions do get crowded during large events and there is usually a pretty long line. There seems to be plenty of parking.

My first NFL game wasn't my team but it was an awesome experience. Definitely we'll go again. Plenty of outside activities going on and tastings and music everywhere it was. It was a live wire of a Time ❤️❤️❤️💯

I recently attended the Bands of America Grand Nationals Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium, a two-day event that was an amazing experience. The stadium is impressively large, with plenty of seating to accommodate the crowds, making it comfortable to enjoy hours of incredible performances. On the first morning, we grabbed coffee at the stadium. I ordered a mocha, and it was pretty good—just what I needed to start the day. Later that evening, we tried the chicken tenders and fries. They were tasty, though I wish there had been a spicier sauce option. They did have sriracha, but it wasn’t quite spicy enough for me. On the second day, we stopped by Maui Wowi and tried the piña colada and lemonade smoothies. They were refreshing, flavorful, and perfect after spending so much time in the stadium. Overall, Lucas Oil Stadium provided a great atmosphere for the championship. With food options, plenty of seating, and an unforgettable lineup of bands, it was a fantastic place to experience such a memorable event. I’d happily return for future performances and events.

What a great experience, went during the week, less crowded. It was our first time at the zoo. It was gorgeous. I loved all the places that you can and just sit and observe the animals. The park was so clean. I can't say enough great things about the staff, they were so kind and offered up all the events coming up at the zoo. You must take the time to visit the chimpanzees and the orangutans. They so much room to move around, you always have to be on the lookout. Love Indianapolis zoo can't wait to go back.

We took the kids to the Indianapolis Zoo during a weekend trip, and it was a great time all around. The place is huge — you could easily spend half a day wandering around without realizing it. We saw all the big hitters: elephants, giraffes, kangaroos, and a bunch of others that I’m pretty sure my kids renamed halfway through (“Look, it’s a long-necked horse!”). We splurged on feeding the giraffes and flamingos, and it was totally worth it — the kids were thrilled, and we got some great photos out of it. We also took them on the little rollercoaster, which they absolutely loved (and which gave us a much-needed break from walking). The dolphin show was definitely the highlight — entertaining, well done, and a nice break from all the walking. The zoo was packed since the weather was perfect and they were handing out candy to kids dressed up for Halloween, so it had a fun, festive vibe (and a sugar-fueled chaos energy). We grabbed some food from one of the stalls expecting the usual overpriced “theme park” meal, but honestly? It wasn’t bad at all. The fries, chicken tenders, and nachos actually hit the spot — maybe we were just starving, but still, solid effort. All in all, 4 stars — great experience, awesome for families, and bonus points for not charging $20 for fries. Just be ready for crowds if you go on a nice day!

I've been to a handful of zoos in my life. The Indianapolis Zoo is my favorite that I've been to. The layout made for a wonderful experience as we moved from one exhibit to another. I also think the gardens and foliage planted along all the exhibits really added to it. We went on a Wednesday in the middle of August. Crowds were light which made for an easy viewing of all exhibits. All the animals were active. Watched the cheetahs chase each other around. Then we were lucky to see them get feed raw meat by the zoo keepers. The dolphin show was fun. The tropical bird and butterfly enclosures were awesome to walk through. I'd highly recommend making this zoo a destination if you visit Indianapolis.

Go now, in October, it is decorated beautifully. I love going. Landscaped and waling layout gives you curvy trails of shade and quiet areas to enjoy seeing the animals. The plants are amazing, such a variety. The front had the cutest Halloween/October themes. If you are a Purdue employee, check out the deep discount, buy it now and use it any day. Everything is just beautiful.

✨ As a wedding photographer, I absolutely love working at the Indianapolis Zoo! Not only are the grounds stunning—with so many unique backdrops that make wedding photos truly magical—but the staff is also incredibly kind and helpful to work with. From start to finish, they were organized, welcoming, and made the day run so smoothly—not just for the couple, but for us vendors, too! There’s something so special about celebrating a love story surrounded by nature, and the zoo offers that in the most beautiful way. It’s a one-of-a-kind venue, and I always look forward to capturing weddings here! Highly recommend for couples looking for a venue that’s both elegant and fun!

Hands down, middle of the week mornings are the best time to go. The Zoo has made so many improvements, and is looking amazing. With that comes the constant construction. However, its is 100% worth the minor inconvenience. If this is your first time considering the Zoo, DO IT ! Definitely top of the list things to do with the kiddos. The outdoor event center is absolutely stunning, and provides an abundance of shade for relaxing under.

I had an amazing time at the Indianapolis Zoo! We booked our tickets online, and it only cost $16 per person totally worth every penny. It’s such a fun and exciting place to visit, especially if you’re taking kids. The entire experience was fantastic and I even filmed an awesome YouTube video here — definitely a memorable day! The dolphin show was absolutely incredible — it’s a must-see! Everything was clean, well-organized, and the staff were super friendly. Just a small tip for visitors: wear comfortable sports shoes because there’s a lot of walking, and dress for the weather, since most of the zoo is outdoors. Highly recommend the Indianapolis Zoo for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun and educational day out!

Every large place with a good variety of items and vendors that aren't over priced. Nice staff. Their discount policy is that you have to pay with cash, check, or gift card for a discount which is a bit odd but otherwise easy transactions. The cashier said, "You can buy discount items without cash but you won't get the discount." Which just feels like a silly statement. Overall a good stop though.

Huge, huge, huge!! This place has a ton of stuff. It took us a long while to get through here. And my wife and I agree we probably didn't get to all of it. If you're into antiques check it out. My personal opinion is that some of the coins and bills are a little expensive. Even a novice collector like me figured that out real quick. But absolutely check it out!

This mall is impressively large, offering a variety of items with a lot of vendor overlap. Its size can be a bit overwhelming, making it challenging to navigate efficiently to see everything. Even after two hours, we couldn't cover it all. If you spot something you like, it's best to purchase it immediately, as you might not remember its location later. Looking for a good place to pass some time, especially on a rainy and/or cold day, this is it!

This is the largest and most well laid antique mall I've ever been to inside. Wide rows and easy to walk-in booths make looking for treasures a breeze. As an avid diecast car collector and an 80s kid, I couldn't believe how many booths were full of great items. Words cannot truly describe it! The faculty is very well kept and maintained. Red-vest staff can help you open smaller cabinet style display boothes to look at items. They have restrooms, plenty of free parking, and a cafe (which I didn't believe was open during my visit). I highly recommend a stop in if your the in the area. You could easily spend an entire afternoon inside and still not see everything!

This place is HUGE, no exaggeration. If you’re wanting to browse the *entire store*, expect to be there for about at least 4 hours. It’s basically a day-trip. It’s easy to get lost but there are employees who walk around to assist as needed, as well as a telephone (one that I saw) to ask for help. Sounds crazy but this place is one-of-a-kind. Incredibly unique things and NOT crazy prices. If you’re in the area, take a look. There’s something for just about everyone.

Super big place! Lots and Lots of MCM, vintage and antique pieces all over the place. A must go place. This is not your typical thrift store. Id love to return in the near future!!

This place is huge and I had really high hopes for it but I was disappointed to see so many items that are from Temu. I don’t begrudge people reselling items from Temu, but do it at a flea market, not an antique store. Saw a cool looking lamp. Took a picture of it and did an image search and the lamp is current being sold at WalMart and Wayfair. I thought the prices were very high. But I did get a cute trivet for $2 which is about $6 less than what I’d normally see them priced. Huge huge store, but if you are actually looking for vintage or antique items, shop with a keen eye.
