A beautiful Museum with a stunning collection of European, Asian and American art. Until Nvember there is a wonderful exhibition:Pucturing Paris. Monet and the Modern City with three exceptional paintings by Monet, two of them loaned from Germany and the Netherlands. A must see.

"Challenge". This is a local museum for me. It is a great museum and its attached to the local music and arts college college. This is an awesome Museum and the college is rated the top five arts and Musical colleges around the US students from all over the country come just to attend this college. Aside from the college and Museum this place is directly in the middle of town of Oberlin Ohio and has one of the oldest theaters right across the street! It is just been recently remodeled by the great comedian. There's also some other old shops around in the buildings and plenty of other culture cuisine options in the town. There's a great park down the road from the museum and it's just all around a great little town. Come check it out! Best part about the Arts Museum here is it free of charge!!!! 0$ 😁

This is a very special Museum it has examples of everything you expect and then a lot of other items you have never seen before

Great museum and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Such a treasure! Art from around the world and also from the US, housed in an architecturally stunning building. I loved that the museum wasn’t so large that you could take your time to visit all the galleries. Our favorite piece was a ceremonial robe from Africa. Well worth the visit to Oberlin - a perfect way to spend a fall day!

I was looking forward to visiting this museum but when I did, I was so disappointed at the lack of art, atmosphere etc. A few dinosaurs and that's about it. I am skipping it next time.

It's a really beautiful place! Would definitely recommend other people to check it out. The art is stunning and it's really nice to read and learn about each piece.

Very fun walking trails. Has a nice nature center that has small aquariums and other aquatic animals. They also have maps, and different historical things to see inside. Theres chairs where you can sit and watch wildlife outside like birds, chipmunks, turtles, skunks, opossums. Theres one trail in particular that is very cute for kids, has a story throughout the trail. As you walk through the trail you seen more pages of the “story” and gives you insight to some of the animals on the trail. Very fun for kids to walk through and be excited to find the next page of the story or trying to find the metal silhouette that matches the page with the corresponding animal. Theres another long trail that features several sets of stairs overlooking the water and trees providing a very interesting and beautiful view if the trails.

We love Rocky River Nature Center! It is our go to for a quick easy outing that is guaranteed to wear our the kiddos of all ages. Inside there is a huge nature watchers windows with tons of chairs big and small for all ages to sit and enjoy. The indoor play area is immersive and kept my twin 3yo and 10yo occupied for hours. We had to come back a second time to visit the outdoor play area which was just as big of a hit! After crossing a small bridge it opens up to a nature play area with climbing rock walls, balance beams, and the twins favorite a giant duck. We have been back weekly since moving into the area and look forward to joining some events when they come around!

Beautiful park! This is a lovely place to go for a walk, go for a jog or just take in a moment in nature! I love all the variety here and the trails uniting this park to other beautiful areas in the area. I really enjoyed my time here and would recommend anyone to come spend some time at this lovely park!

Extensive hiking trail and bike path network (both paved and unpaved). Beautiful scenery all throughout, well maintained parks and facilities, and it’s located so close to the airport so a great place to plane-watch.

Beautiful place for a walk or easy hike along the river

Wonderful nature center with beautiful calming trails to embrace the all the fall colors 🍁

Very nice place to explore the outdoors. Definitely needed more time.

I have arrived at the visitor center around 4pm which unfortunately was too late for house tour (last one happens between 3 and 4pm), hence plan accordingly since it is a major part of experience. Still, a lot of facts can be learnt by simply carefully checking out rooms of visitor center. For example, Garfield was the last president born in simple log cabin.

Fantastic! I highly recommend taking the free guided tour and watching the 20 minute movie to learn more. Make sure when you arrive to let them know you would like to take the tour as a tour can only accommodate about 15-20 people.

What a fantastic house, tour, and insight into a President and his remarkably artistically talented family. About 90% of the furnishings are original, and our ranger did an outstanding job explaining Garfield's life, cut short by an assassin, and his wife Lucretia's subsequent stewardship of the house, family, and legacy. Absolutely worth an hour of your time to take this tour!

I learned more about President Garfield today than I ever did in school. Our Ranger tour guide was very knowledgeable and well spoken. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Great historic site! The tour guide was phenomenal, very knowledgeable and detail oriented. Well worth the time.

Stopped by to get that National Park stamp and learn a couple things. We had our dogs so we weren’t able to do a house tour. However, we listened to the audio tour and walked the grounds, still interesting! The internet was down so the visitor center was unable to process purchases unless paying with cash, so I took away a star for that.

My family went on a whim while we were in the area and it was lovely! The tour guide was so knowledgeable about the house and Garfield's life! Would recommend!!

My friend and I had an amazing time adventuring the Tree Top Adventures! Eric was an awesome trainer. I felt so comfortable and safe going up into the trees and flying down the zip lines. He was so patient with the people who were afraid and unsure. He filled them up with confidence and I got to see them continue their journey through the trees and enjoy their adventure because of his reassurance and kindness. The course was fun and challenging. The staff was great! I will definitely be bringing others back to enjoy! Thank you!

5-Star-Experience! Great for kids and adults. The team is awesome and the place is the best. The staff are professional and fun. The park is great too. Plenty of fun things to do, parking, bathrooms, and a whole lot more! The ziplines are all fast and fun. The walk in the trees is both challenging and rewarding for most ages and abilities. We will definitely be back.

Having never heard of this place until the day we went, I didn't know what to expect, but we had a great time! The adventure course was fun for the 12 year-old, but he did say it was less challenging than he expected, so next time he may want to try the bigger course. The staff was super friendly and very helpful, great with kids, and took safety seriously. As just an observer, I appreciated the picnic tables outside of the course, but the lack of shade was pretty brutal. They are near trees, so it depends on the time of day, I'm sure, but an umbrella over them would have been a real blessing.

Tree canopy ropes courses with ziplines. Small and tall - pick your level of fun. Older kids and young adults (or fit any age) will test their limits of heights and core strength on the Treetop course. Younger (10 and under) have a shorter course to test them with a little less stress. Definitely worth the price! The guides are awesome! Friendly, helpful and encouraging! My tweens rocked the course - as I slowed them down! 😟🤣 Reserve spot ahead of time online, buy the gloves and sign the waiver!

My Girl Scout troop and leaders did the Treetop Adventure. It was a lot of fun! There was some great bonding with encouraging each other that we could get through the course. We also did the Escape Room which was fun as well

My family had a fall fest party that ended up being bigger than expected. This place offered reasonably priced activities as part of Octoberfest event. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It was on my bucket list and it was amazing. Staff is great. Very informative and well prepared. The course is more than I imagined. The experience was fantastic. I’d do it again. Definitely

I would recommend going at higher bloom or fall color time. The cost of admission was $21 per person (non-member). We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 2:00 in September. Since it closes at 5:00, the cost seemed high for 3 hours (admittedly, poor planning on our part). While it's a very nice arboretum with lots of places to visit and potentially see, we were not impressed with this particular season. Nothing was in full bloom (like the rhododendron garden, of course). Fall foliage also wasn't changing yet. The canopy walk was ok, not great. I thought it would be longer. The tower provides really good views, but due to thunder, it was shut down just as I got to the top (not their fault, it's a good thing to close during a storm). I would recommend making a day of it. There are lots of hiking trails with various natural habitats. They do offer a cart tours for an extra fee. Since many trails are a hike to get to, it would have been nice to have a shuttle to drop you off closer to some sights, especially for older visitors.

You can do everything from a short stroll on a paved path to a full on hike in the woods to a tram tour here, and you’ll see gorgeous settings in all of them. Skeleton Grove is a wonderful addition to the already spectacular fall season, and it brings the crowds, which is wonderful to see but does require patience if you’re used to visiting at a less busy time. 100% worth the drive and price of admission (although membership is the best deal, and you get in free with your membership to other botanical gardens or conservatories, too!)

Beautiful place with both cultivated gardens and hiking trails through wooded areas and meadows. Visitor Center is nice, with a cute gift shop and yummy grab-and-go food and drinks. Tram tours are available, and paths through the garden are paved. The Emergent Tower is very cool, with spectacular views over the Arboretum (on a clear day, there's a great view to Lake Erie). The Canopy Walk is fun, and the educational signs are interesting. Overall, this is a fantastic place to visit!

Such a unique place! It's like going on a trail walk, but slightly supervised. Gardens and native plants galore! There are parts that are more "commerical" meaning they are more landscaped and the paths are paved and well labeled with signs. The tower and skywalk have attendants who monitor the number of people on them to ensure safety. But there are also miles of gardens and paths that aren't so busy and a little more rustic. In these places there are plenty of sweet little niches built in that you can sit on a bench and enjoy some moments of quiet contemplation. Honestly, there are SO MANY beautiful memorial benches all throughout the park. There are absolutely no lack of places to sit and read or picnic or just enjoy nature.

Absolutely beautiful. Right now they have Skeleton Cove. It's fantastic. Good for all ages. Beautiful hiking trails emergent tower to 🪜 climb. Also a canopy walk. Lots to see and do. Enjoy

I wish we had more time to spend at this wonderful garden. We ended up doing the tower and tree canopy! Absolutely amazing! Definitely coming back so we can walk the entire grounds. The amount of pollinators flying around was a sight to behold.

One of the best US arboretums based on my first visit’s impression. Variety of gardens, landscapes and features (canopy walk, Emergent Tower, etc) is stunning. It’s a pleasure to walk along numerous ponds and Corning Lake, but the best combination of gardens and pond for me is in layout of Butterfly Garden. Arboretum was created as a living memorial to Elizabeth Holden who died at the age of 20, daughter of mining magnate Albert Holden. The trust made sure that future arboretum had become a reality and was opened to public in 1937.

Visited this amazing place today - and we highly recommend it for not only Christmas lovers but also for anyone that is a Christmas movie buff, and those that love art and theatre! Our guide Tim was fantastic and truly made the tour come to life! We had a great time strolling down memory lane with the “toys of yesteryear” and it was fun hearing folks get excited as they pointed out their childhood favorites. Visiting Castle Noel was a highlight of our visit to the Cleveland area. Thank you Tim!!!

My son and I were visiting from Tampa and took the tour through Castle Noel. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone! If you love Christmas, this is the place for you! And if you’re a Scrooge, you need to go because you will leave there loving Christmas! 😊 I wish we had something like this in Florida but I feel this is truly a one of a kind experience! Thank you to Mr and Mrs Klaus for your hard work and pure love that you obviously put into this place. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and will warm the coldest of hearts. Worth every penny!! 🎄🎄

Castle Noel was such a fun and unique experience! It really feels like stepping into a Christmas movie. The decorations, lights, and displays are so detailed, and there’s something to look at around every corner. It’s one of those places that brings out your inner kid — you can’t help but smile the whole time. Definitely worth checking out, and a perfect spot to visit with family or friends. Wear comfortable shoes there’s a lot of walking and standing!

We had an awesome time at Castle Noel! Loved all the displays and toys. You can truly see how much time, love, and Christmas spirit has been put into this place. A huge shout out to Bill for making our tour fun!

Several improvements and more finished displays since our last visit a few years ago. It's a 90 minute or so guided tour with many photos, toys, and games from the 1950s and 1960s, and one-of-a-kind artifacts from TV shows, movies, and New York department store windows. A very unique place you should visit once for a trip down Christmas memories lane.

Impressive collection of movie memorabilia and window displays. Enjoyed the tour and all the scenery. We went on a weekday in November with plenty of free parking. Met the owner who presented on his newest project. A good experience. Buy tickets in advance or you may regret trying your luck to get in otherwise

Me and my friend went today and had the absolute best experience! We loved all of our guides and how fun they made the experience. But we wanted to shout out Bill who absolutely made our visit. He did such a wonderful job, was so friendly and we could not say better things about him. We would genuinely come back just to see him! If you see this Bill we thought you guys were pretty cool too :) this place is close to home but everyone should get that experience. I applaud all of the staff and everyone behind all of it because it is unlike anything else you will ever see. Thank you all again!

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.

The Best Place.. Really had a great time playing there.. wonderful Experience..Best Machines with overwhelming Staff n Crew... Would like to go again n again from India... I also Won there, tat was the Unforgettable Moment... Best Wishes to d Management n the other Guests....🤘🏻👍🏻

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.

Good place to gamble on a budget 😜 wish they had the concert in Pittsburgh it would be a little bit easier still had a good time🆒💣😁🤔

We went for a Sebastian Bach show. We ate at the bar/grilled before going. All staff were really nice and overall had a really good time. Food was okay, nothing special but not bad by any means.

George thorogood and Robin Trower rocked the house! The buffet was pretty good and we had fun on the slot machines. Very nice time!

This is a beautiful small town. You will want to visit when you are close by. Quaint restaurants and shops line the main street. However, most important is the Falls. The beauty of this natural creation brings joy to all people. Even though much construction is going on right now it is a unique tourist attraction.

A quaint little town with a quaint little waterfall. The waterfall itself is small but pretty. I’m not sure it’s handicap accessible to get down closer to the fall. We stopped at the popcorn store first and enjoyed it as we sat by the falls emerged in nature.

Such a great waterfall. Perfect parking but the GPS doesn't take you to the parking. It's near there if you search on the maps, but it's just before the bridge and it does say parking. Its behind the building and won't look like it after first but there is a lot of parking spaces. Parking is free. The steps lead you straight there. At the bottom of the steps, you can walk on the walks and get a better angle of the waterfall. Highly recommend the trip. It's downtown lots of places to stop and enjoy the area.

Beautiful and scenic locations have always been a romantic location to stop and get some popcorn or ice cream at the local candy shop directly on the falls.

We stopped her at the suggestion of a local. It’s a cute little town. They were working on the bridge and had the sidewalk closed and part of the falls damned. Not everything was open bc it was a weekday. I would stop again if we pass through this area.

Under perfect conditions this might be an idyllic little community with a small waterfall running through it, but not right now. They have the entire area completely destroyed with construction and the water is barely trickling through. It creates all kinds of traffic havoc and is generally unpleasant. I'm sure when they finish construction and painting and all the new woodworking that they're doing it will be beautiful again. But that is going to be many months based on the state of what I saw.

Such a charming town with a very pretty waterfall right in the middle! Don’t miss it in fall.

There is no shortage of trails that can be combined to see new and favorite sites, long or short. There are many challenging trails as well as easier ones. Many sights can only be experienced from the park, pictures and roadside views do not do it justice.

We love this National Park and plan to return again. All the hikes were amazing and our kids absolutely loved it This National Park was surprisingly nice. We really enjoyed the Brandywine falls and the loop hike. Lots of beautiful things to view, especially this time of year with all of the colors and amazing riverwalking and Rock skipping possibilities.

Beautiful park. Amazing environment, great trails pretty much everywhere. Set aside a full day to hit a few places around the park and hike a few of the trails and it did not disappoint. Blue Hen Falls was incredible. The Ledges Trail was amazing. Brandywine Falls was beautiful. Even Kendall Lake and Beaver Marsh were really cool, saw a bunch of wildlife at them.

I’d say it’s one of the smaller national parks compared to the ones I’ve visited before, but it actually has so much to offer! From scenic falls and trails to hikes within the valley, there’s a lot packed into this place—especially beautiful during the fall season.

Enjoyed the train ride, stopped at Peninsula, saw the little town, had lunch and walked the towpath. Visited Boston Mill Visitor Center and the Canal Exploratiotow path on other days - both were interesting and informative. The towpath is smooth and level for walking, running, biking and dog walking.

We really had a great time here! Scenic views, comfortable train ride, pleasant staff… Everyone was just in a great mood, enjoying the scenery and the ride and the company they were with. Highlyr ecommended and I would definitely do it again!

This park was nice. We were able to see what we wanted in 1 day. It was August so waterfalls weren’t as brilliant as they are after a rain! The park is very spread out intermingled with highways. We LOVED the Ledges trail. Most of the trails are easy and a short walk from trailhead to the highlight. A great park if you like to bike!!

This was my second time visiting Stan Hywet, and it honestly gets better each time. No matter how many times you go, you always notice something new—whether it’s a detail in the house or something blooming in the gardens. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell they really care about the history of the estate. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and such a peaceful place to walk through. It’s also easy to see why so many people choose it for weddings—it’s truly a stunning backdrop.

We went to the Ohio Mart at Stan Hywet. What an incredible day! For 50 plus years the market has been selling premiere artisan works and this year did not disappoint. Such a beautiful setting for the Market. Plenty of restrooms, food options. Drink options are limited and a little pricey. Parking is off site with plenty of buses running to overflow spots. Loved this place!

My husband and I visited on the self guided tour. The entire estate is impressive. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. So much to see and history to absorb. We were unable to see a small portion of the gardens due to wedding ceremonies taking place, but were not bothered by it. The grounds are beautifully kept. It was nice to go at our own pace. We spent 4-5 hrs exploring and taking SO many pictures.

This is a beautiful mansion. The historic home and grounds are well preserved. I attended my niece’s wedding on a Saturday. It was held outdoors under a tent. I actually attended an indoor wedding there thirty years ago for the bride’s father. It would be a five star if entry into the property was not such an ugly scene. Our bus driver was following specific written, mapped out instructions and was curtly turned away by a Stan Hyatt attendant (who was wrong). We did finally get in, but it was an ugly way to start a joyous celebration. The employees inside were gracious and welcoming. Guests were allowed to tour the first floor. It’s an amazing place.

I enjoyed my first visit ever to Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens during this year’s Ohio Mart which encompassed much of the grounds in their food court and art vendor displays. It was a great opportunity for a self tour of the estate and grounds while enjoying bits of fall and the festival too. Remarkable historical home and gardens - I so appreciated a peek back in history with the fact that 95% of furnishings are original on the estate.

When I was in elementary, my class took a field trip to Stan Hywet Hall. Typically the field trips we did have I wasn’t all that fascinated, but I remember when we arrived, my class was very creeped out by it looking haunted. For once it was a field trip that felt like it was all for me. After that day, I forced my mom to take me again, over and over and over. Little me looked at my mom and said “mommy if a boy ever ends up loving me enough, I’m totally getting married here” about 15 years later, a boy did end up loving me enough. The staff went above and beyond for us. My husband and I are so happy we will always be able to say this was our venue.

A quite beautiful place to visit. The home itself is amazing - hard to imagine living in such opulence, and it was 1915! The home is well maintained, as a museum piece. The tour was fascinating - I will need to go back for the "nooks and crannies tour" to be allowed past the velvet ropes! The grounds are excellent as well, with awesome flower beds in bloom.

I played Boulder Creek a number of years ago during a vacation to my home state of Ohio. Had a great time with my brother and we really enjoyed the course! Beautiful views and very well maintained. I hope to return one day and enjoy it again.

Played 6/13/25 for first time. Course was in solid condition, I don’t think most people understand with the rain what course maintenance can be done. Layout is a lot of fun, with challenging aspects for all skill levels. We should have hit some putts on practice green before we played, always tough going into it blind. We did hit the range, realized grass tee boxes we open when we were done. That’s on us. If you haven’t been, discard the one stars….people have unrealistic expectations for northeast Ohio when we’ve had the wettest spring in 20 years. Round lasted around 4 hours for us.

We had a blast playing this course. Really good layout and beautiful holes. Took a lot of photos. Course was in amazing condition and the greens were a real treat (not too fast and rolled consistent/smooth). Our only issues were with the routing. Both of our groups got lost a different points in the round. There are some signs but if you miss the first one, you are doomed. Need more signs. Highly recommend the course.

The walleye was as good as it gets. The fries - which, let’s be honest who really cares, were excellent. Coleslaw is a personal preference thing - Mayo heavy or vinegar heavy. These guys nailed a balance between the two. I got my meal within 6 minutes of ordering. The bartender Danielle was super helpful, accommodating, and awesome. I’m from out of town, but if I come back, I’ll be here. This place rocks.

All three stars are for the great conditioning of the golf course. Although the greens are slow and spongy they are in amazing condition. The rest is truly awful. Here’s my take. Strike 1)Driving range closed for a photo shoot. Strike 2)Five and a half hour round. Never have we played here when it doesn’t take five plus hours. Unacceptable in 2025. Strike 3)Today it was 90 degrees. There is no water on the course. There is also no cart person. Not only does this cause inconvenience it is actually dangerous on days like today. Wish I could say something positive but there is nothing more to say.

One of the nicest golf courses I've played this year. Rivals many of the courses in the Pinehurst area. Given the dry summer this year this course was in great shape. Greens weren't fast but rolled true. Cart paths were in excellent condition. Planning a return trip soon.

Fantastic course. Beautiful. Challenging. Scenic layout. In great condition. Fast greens. They could get newer, better carts and encourage golfers to fix divots in highway. You better have your A game

I had an absolute blast with family here today. It was busy, but not overcrowded. There were SO many fun activities to do. We stayed for 3 hours, but could have easily been there all day as we didn’t even make it to probably half of the activities. My one year old loved the inflatable, the corn barn, the bubbles, and more. I also thought the nursing room was a really nice touch. Thanks for an incredible family friendly day Ramseyer!!

Down from Cleveland to see my grandsons. Daughter suggested Ramseyer Farms for a great time. Hay rides, pumpkin patch, flower picking, rides, and food. Why not check it out. When you get your. Farm administration wrist band...tell them Joe sent you... they will say Joe Who...that's me 😃

Beautiful place! Tons of fun activities for kids, lots of food options and drinks.

Worth the price! Absolutely the BEST Fall Fest farm in the area. There was an endless amount of activities and such a great variety too. The space and setup of everything was very well planned. You don’t feel like you’re walking a mile to get from one activity to another. AND you’re never too far from a bathroom or food/drink option. The kids had an absolute BLAST! Just go. 😆

Best family experience of the Fall season. Go At Least Once! Return again for only 10$ but you need to purchase before leaving and you can use it any day before Oct 31!

Amazing family friendly farm! Pick your own flower bouquet for $10! Photo opportunities set up ready for you! No extra cost! Beautiful and fun filled place! We will be back every year!

This place exceeding all my expectations! It was a beautiful day to spend time there. The employees are so kind and helpful. My daughter and daughter had the best day.

I love this zoo! It’s very well laid out with plenty of room for the animals and the visitors. I enjoyed the 50% off Veteran discount. The prices are already reasonable. There were lots of school groups who were learning from the highly qualified zookeepers there. I was especially excited to see a red panda. The lions were also impressive. They had some beautiful primates as well.

Small zoo. Good for little ones. Free parking. I got ticket/passes from my library for admission. A lot of bird exhibits...wish they had more bigger animals. They have a nice little water splash zone to cool off. Cool clear slide in otter exhibit

The Akron Zoo has come up over the last couple of years. I told the whole family the other day, and we all had fun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were very clean and the exhibits were in amazing shape.

It was a good day. Not the biggest zoo, however they did amazing with the room that they have. I wouldn't call it small either. They have a conservation effort for nearly or all the animals that they have. There's also a beautiful place to sit and rest. All the animals look happy and healthy 😊

Boo at the Akron Zoo! What a fun experience. Reasonable rates. 10 stations with candy. Animals that look well taken care of. Cool pumpkin carvings. Food is good. Pepsi products! We will be back!

Great little zoo, especially for young children. Stroller and wheelchair accessible but there is a decent sized hill to get to the bears. Takes about an hour and a half or so to get through whole zoo. If it's hot out, most animals will be inside or hiding so plan accordingly! Nice sized dining area. We went during their dinosaur exhibit!

It was a fun experience but they didn’t have the 3 major big animals that I was hoping to see. Which were the Bear,Tiger and lion and no pandas. Kind of disappointed in that so I probably won’t go again. This was my first time here in 15 years. I got some pretty good pictures of the smaller animals but honestly it wasn’t that worth it. It was ok

Went for the Pink Floyd tribute band's charity concert for the Akron Children's Palliative Care Unit.. Great place. So much history there. Every single person that worked there was BEYOND nice and accommodating. We stopped on the main stairs case for a few pictures on our way out and a sweet lady offered to get one of all of us. She actually got like, 4 of them for me!!! It was super appreciated that she just came up and offered to do it for us!! The ushers were great, even the security at the doors were way nice. Totally can't say a bad thing about the place except maybe that it could have been a little cooler inside.. Bathrooms were very clean. They also have some super old furniture in the hallways that is really neat to see... Definitely would go back for another event. Thank you, Akron Civic Theatre!!!

Wow, this place is gorgeous! It's a great spot for shows. Parking is nearby and simple, it's in a central location, and it's easier to get in and out of than other theaters I've been to. The stars are one of my favorite things about this place!

Just saw Neil Zaza's One Dark Night at the theater. It was my first time there, and I definitely will attend shows there again! great staff as well! so very nice and helpful. A truly beautiful venue! It was like walking back in time 90 years. A wonderfully restored architectural gem!

A beautiful venue for a wonderful concert! They have done an excellent job keeping this historic building in excellent form. The ushers and other employees were all kind and helpful. Will definitely return given the opportunity.

Nice venue with a great sound system and cool decor. The stage can be seen from mostly any seat or section. Venue is a good size. The seats need to be updated to a more durable material. They were imbedded with years of lint so it made them look dirty. Bathrooms were large, clean and had a ton of stalls. Their is a parking garage right across the street. We saw a concert on Sunday and it was free to park in the garage. Quick and easy getting in and out of the venue. Staff was courteous and welcoming.

The theater itself is very cool but needs a little love. It has a ton of character though. The show I seen I was not impressed. Loved the venue.

What a beautiful atmosphere theater! Can't wait to go there again!!

Loved camping here. One of my favorite places by far. Nice big sites and the views were spectacular. I got to see the sun come up while by a fire and enjoy Gods creation! The bathrooms were clean at all times and the showers were hot! We would definitely go back when in the area again! Oh- and did I mention the Halloween decorations? They were everywhere! Way cool!

I live nearby and spend a lot of my time on and around West Branch. There's something for everyone, fishing, boating, a beach for swimming and tons of parkin. I enjoy the good scenery for riding, there's a nice campground, dog park and even equestrian riding trails. If you want a place to kick back and enjoy nature this is a good place to be.

Good little spot to climb, lots of top anchors. Great for beginners and intermittent climbers. There's a few rappel anchors and anchor practice bolts on the top back wall. Very short walk from the parking area.

We liked our site, that said do your homework not every campsites is nice. Most are not level but some are decent. They do have activities and you are not far for outside the park fun. Nice restrooms and playground. I would go back but picky on my site.

We are a little biased as it is our home park located 30 minutes away. There are some fhu sites scattered around and the rest are electric only. The park is an older park so you will have some narrow loops and tight corners with some ditches depending on your spot. Pay attention to pad lengths as there are several short pads in the park. There is a nice boat ramp in the campground. Hosts have several activities planned on weekends. Showerhouses are super nice. There is frisbee golf and archery as well. Lake access from campsites is limited as several lake front sites have drop offs down to the water. We have att and have good wifi signals to run our smart TVs.

We needed something different to do for the day. This was a huge hit with the kids (and adults!) We went on a Monday. Water was warm, beach was clean, not overly crowded, tables, bbq, restrooms, and spray offs were available. Stunning view! We will be adding this spot to our favorites for sure!

Beautiful and clean park! The sites for camping are really nice. The bath houses are really nice. The showers are in their own private rooms and there are sinks for washing dishes.

Me and my husband truly enjoyed a Saturday afternoon at the farm! We didn't get to do everything that we wanted to do because the lines in the market where so long and there were so many groceries to buy! The gift shop was very nice as well, I went on there for a leather belt and left with that and a purse 🤣 grab the family, enjoy the drive, and experience what farm life has in store for you!

A great family oriented place especially for the kids to experience a visit with farm animals. Plenty of great food shopping for fresh meats, fruit, jams jellies candy, flowers and more. Hershbergers Farm offers some amazing and fresh food products and bakery items at fair prices. Always busy with loads of parking. they have a food trailer on site for breakfast or a burgers and more. The only continued disappointment with this place is the poor restroom facilities. You would expect with such a huge complex that handles thousands of people per year that the management with offer especially the older folks a better place to use than the current awful bathroom and the porta potties. So if you make a stop beware.... Wife and i visit 2x times per year for their great food items.

We love everything about this farm! The bakery is amazing, the food you can buy, the fall decor like the pumpkins and other items are the icing on the cake. There are other activities you can do here as well. We have been on a buggy ride and the driver was amazing. We also did the pumpkin patch ride to pick our own pumpkins and it was really fun too. Our kids really enjoyed it. It’s always one of our main stops while we are visiting!

We took the whole crew out to Hershberger’s—kids, grandparents, and all—and had such a great time. This place is a perfect family stop if you're in the area. The petting zoo is the main attraction, and it did not disappoint. Our kids loved feeding the goats, petting the bunnies, and seeing the giant horse (Big Ben is no joke). It’s a great way for little ones to get up close with animals in a clean, safe, and fun environment. We didn’t eat while we were there, but we did pop into the market and picked up some fresh produce. Everything looked great, and the prices were reasonable. It’s got that classic, small-town charm you hope for in Amish Country—nothing fancy, just friendly people and quality goods. If you’re traveling with family, especially with grandparents in tow, this is a spot worth visiting. It’s relaxed, engaging for all ages, and full of those simple joys that make for great memories.

One of our favorite places to visit in Holmes County! There is an on-site bakery with lots of treats to purchase for $1. They also make popcorn in a kettle over an open fire, sell handmade leather goods produced on site, textiles and wooden toys. If you love farm animals, there are goats on the barn roof, large and small farm animals and even some exotic animals to see. It is run by Amish folk. They also have a great selection of bulk spices, grocery items, and some pies and produce. The country drive is worth every penny you’ll spend on fuel! Don’t miss this country gem!

If you want beautiful fresh produce, nice selection of pies and other goodies in an organized clean and well maintained store, then this is the store for you. Fresh smelling produce before you enter the store, like I've never seen. The Amish people know how to grow and sell their goods supremely well. They've got it down to an art. I can respect the time effort and diligence it takes to do the work they do. They do not skrimp on anything they do. The stores all over Amish country delight and amaze. There is so much to see. Also here are horse and buggy rides. I would like to try out if I get the chance to come here again. Also there is a petting zoo here.

Has become a huge success over the years. Petting zoo Expansion has become the highlight. We've been coming for years and love it more each time. Plenty to do, bring the kids and make memories.

As a wedding photographer, Gervasi Vineyard in Canton is truly a dream venue. Every corner of the property offers a stunning backdrop, from the vineyard rows to the elegant villas, the Tuscan-inspired architecture, and the serene lakefront views. It’s one of those rare places where you don’t have to go far to find endless photo opportunities. I also want to highlight Maggie at the venue. She was an absolute dream to work with! Maggie made everything seamless, not only for the couple but also for us as vendors. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail helped the day flow perfectly, and that kind of support makes all the difference for capturing beautiful moments. If you’re considering Gervasi Vineyard for your wedding, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Gorgeous setting, incredible staff, and an unforgettable experience all around! I hope to return to this venue. in the future! - Mallory IG:LaurenAshleyStudios

This Vineyard is outstanding! The Cesar salad was delicious, the dessert was even better! There are plenty of places to take pictures including one of the most beautiful trees in this area, the willow tree. I felt like I was in Wonderland! Thank you for hosting an amazing wedding!

We had a delightful experience at Gervasi Vineyard! We stopped here on the way from Kentucky to Cedar Point and it was such a great call. John Paul was especially helpful as we arrived, accommodating our early arrival and checking us in quickly so we could make our scheduled wine cave tour. The tasting and tour itself was super fun, the wine was delicious, the rooms were comfortable, and the views were spectacular!

My wife and I stayed at one of the villas for our anniversary. I was shocked at how nice everything was. We enjoyed the wine tasting, outside dining with live music, the bars with live music, the spa. The food and alcohol prices were very reasonable, and the service was very good. We would recommend Gervasi to anyone looking for a nice weekend getaway.

Wow. Weather provided me with a perfect evening to sit out on the upper deck at the crush house. Beautiful views beautiful everything. Wines were all great, I had the best pumpkin dessert that followed a delicious NY strip and scallops they were able to make for me. Outstanding visit!

We’ve hosted our Client Appreciation Event at Gervasi for the past three years, and it’s truly become a highlight that our clients look forward to all year long. Working with the Gervasi Event Team is always a dream—they take the time to understand our vision and consistently bring it to life beautifully each year. Their professionalism and attention to detail make every event seamless and memorable.

First time guests at The Gervasi Vineyard celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. The staff was phenomenal, the food was delicious, and the entire property was spotless, beautiful, tranquil and relaxing! The room was immmaculate when we arrived! Bed totally comfortable and the decor made us feel as though we were in Tuscany! Customer service was probably the best we’ve experienced throughout our travels! Keep up the good work! We will be back!

Excellent experience even for the casual fan. The exhibits on the history of football and thr NFL were very well done. Pricey admissions, but worth it. Very little parking by 11:30 am. Buy your tickets online so you don't have to wait to get them at the ticket counter. Give yourself 2 hours for a pretty thorough walk through. More if you will read all the descriptions and watch all the videos.

The third time I have visited this over the course of many years, and one thing I can tell you that this Hall of Fame is organized and easy to go through. Just totally unbelievable all the facts and figures and stats that this place has. I hear they're going to be expanding again looks like I'll have to do another visit and then not too distant future. Just too much to talk about here so my suggestion is just go for a visit. They do give veteran discounts. Also I'm told that Tuesday is the best day to go as is the lightest day and tickets are half price.

Crossed this 9ff my Bucket List on 10.12.2025. Very comprehensive exits and displays regarding the history of football. 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 fortunate to meet Green Bay Psckers Legend Dave Robinson during my visit. Highly Recommend to all football fans and to anyone traveling through Canton, Ohio

If you’re in to football this is a neat spot to visit. Lots of NFL history here. Tickets are about $45 each. Lots to see and almost all indoors. Friendly staff. Clean and well put together exhibits.

My husband is NOT a football fan or even a sports fan but he even had fun here. It was so nice. It seemed as though everywhere we looked there was something special to see. Even the most knowledgeable football fans can learn something new. We stopped at the cafe and to our surprise it was not pricey at all. I will definitely be back.

Great Senior discount on Tuesday! Not a huge fan of football but I absolutely loved learning more about it. The history really amazed me. So dis the GORGEOUS championship Superbowl rings. A must see. Interactive " you be the referee" make the call exhibit was super fun. Seeing all those heads of guys inducted into the Hall of Fame was humbling. So much to see so allow the full day to enjoy. I would definitely plan a second trip there. Bring a few fans with you!

The museum was amazing! The volunteer staff were so engaging and helpful. I got to see a live presentation and the hosts were amazing! Loved it, so much history.

This is a must see when you visit the Amish! They have the best baby Swiss cheese I’ve ever tasted. Others make baby Swiss, but it doesn’t come close! Plan a day and time when their factory is making cheese and you can watch through the glass window.

Great place for some of the best Premium Swiss Cheese Products that you can find. Located off of SR 39 on SR 557 in Millersburg Oh. If you love cheese, be sure to stop at the quaint little shop for a great experience!!! Here are photos from our trip of September 2025...

A ton of cheeses. Prices seemed to be good but I'm from Canada lol. Great looking building.

Worth the drive. Great cheese! Lots of choices and lots of other goodies - cuckoo clocks, beer steins, and other cool stuff. (best Swiss cheese I've ever tasted!)

Bought the large slice pepperoni for my pizza with shitake mushrooms and smoked gouda pizza, great taste. Also bought the baby Swiss and pepper jack cheeses. Both cheeses had a nice tang or sharpness that tastes better than other cheeses. I would certainly buy these items again if sold in Northeast Ohio. I took a 2 hr drive to visit the Guggisberg store.

When my sister and I visit the Amish country, this little store is one that we always visit. It has some very unique cheeses along with several other treats. Stop by and check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

I don't even like Swiss Cheese but I like their baby Swiss. Definitely worth stopping by and picking up some cheese. You can see the production area from inside the store which is interesting. They have a good selection of cheese.

Awesome day today at Walnut Creek with the family. We didn’t know what to expect when we showed up and thought it was going to be a normal petting zoo. However, it was way more than that. We chose the self guiding tour, which was $15 per adult, and $12 per senior. They have feed you can purchase for $3 a bucket. Bring cash because that’s all they accept. They have an option where you can do a tour on a horse and buggy cart, similar to what you’d see at a pumpkin patch. If we come back that’s what I’d do, so you can interact more with the animals. The self guiding car tour was a lot of fun though so I wasn’t disappointed. The animals literally come up to your car and will eat out of your hands.

Very cool place to see some cool animals. Some were much more demanding than others (like the llama that came running for my car) but it was chaotic fun nonetheless. Definitely requires a good and careful driver to navigate the roadways and animals. Overall the experience comes recommended from me! Hoping to catch a wagon ride if I visit again.

This place was awesome! Well worth the money! If you drive through, your car might get scratched though. No big deal though, just take a wagon instead! Either way, so much fun! The kids loved it! The photos say it all!!!

The Farm at Walnut Creek – Trying to find something to do? Well go ahead and ditch the daily grind and embark on an unforgettable adventure to The Farm at Walnut Creek located at in Sugarcreek, OH. I got to experience this farm when I was up in Ohio for a family visit and let me tell you, this place has over 500 animals from six continents, right in the heart of Ohio's Amish Country. Owned by a North Carolina resident renowned expert in the transportation and care of exotic animals, ran by the Amish and they don’t skip a beat. Forget boring car rides; here, you can choose your adventure: a thrilling drive-thru experience from the comfort of your own vehicle, or for the ultimate immersion, hop aboard a charming horse-drawn wagon ride, me and the family chose the wagon ride of course. Prepare for giggles due to the banter, the knowledgeable and incredibly interactive staff will be your guides, sharing fascinating facts and engaging stories that bring each animal encounter to life, making the experience even more enriching and entertaining for the whole family. IT was a blast, and we were all surprised and in awe as you come face-to-face with exotic creatures like towering giraffes, striped zebras, alongside familiar friends such as horses, fluffy llamas, powerful buffaloes, and graceful deer. The best part? You'll have the incredible opportunity to hand-feed many of these amazing animals, creating memories that will last a lifetime. IF you need something fun and exciting to get out the house make the drive and support a local farm

The wagon ride was amazing .Up close to see the animals and feed them. We had so much fun.After the wagon ride we saw even more animals around the pond.There is a covered bridge! So beautiful place ! So much to see. Look out for the white spotted cow ...she gets your bucket in the middle of the wagon she is so smart .

Had much fun riding on a horse-drawn wagon hand-feeding bison and bulls and other critters who came right up to the wagon. Made me feel like a kid again. A clean, well-run professional place. Very enjoyable!

We have been to Amish Country many times but we had never been to The Farm At Walnut Creek! We will definitely return again and again! We drove our vehicle through because we were new to the experience! The next time we will ride on the wagon and feed the animals. I absolutely loved being right there with the animals. I got so excited with each new animal that came to our vehicle!! I can’t wait until the next time we visit the area so we can return to The Farm At Walnut Creek!!

It has been over 40 years since I went here and stopped and walked around. Basketball, tennis, it was full of smiles and happiness as a family of all kinds just having fun. It made me smile, Alliance. Great memories of childhood. The Jaycee fireworks on the 4th. I remember watching them in great awe and excitement. Then, we'd walk home. Excitement is still in our heads as we try to sleep from the dopamine still rushing in our brains. Magical Silver Park they should call it. (We even walked on the island in the middle. We were kids!) I only took a few pictures for my nostalgia got the better of me. What a great park to have in your city. Cudos to all the groundskeep and to all of the Silver Park employees. You made my visit magical. My lifetime of Silver Park filled my life with respect and diversity. I miss Ohio, but I'll never forget who or what I am.

Very pretty for a quaint little park.

What a beautiful park with lots to do.

Let’s go silver park. What good is a fitness park if the equipment is busted. There is no management making sure children under 14 years old are not climbing on the equipment and breaking it up. Tax payer funded, that’s why there was a park levy. This section was added, knowing full well the expense to keep it functional.

Really nice park. One set of restrooms we found, but clean and nice. The park is pretty big and lots of room for picnics, fishing and some real nature fun

A wonderful Park!! 2 Play grounds, ball fields, tennis courts, basketball court, pavilion and cabin rentals... Very nice place for children of all ages 😊

Beautiful setting, well managed,great place for families, dog friendly, creek running through to a nice lake with ducks.steps and hills for cardio workouts, good place to ride a bicycle.

The Warther Museum teaches more than about Mr. Warther, we learned a lot about trains and the area around Dover before the European Settlers. Our group had a small child and there was room for her to walk around as we all saw the exhibits. If you like coins, there is a penny collection from 1773-1909. Amazing!

This place was way better than I anticipated. I'd go back to spend more time viewing the exhibits. This is no second class museum. We learned a lot and really enjoyed it.

I had never heard of Ernest and Frieda Warther but the visit to the museum, gardens, button house, and home was fascinating and well worth the price of admission ($20 adult; $19 senior 65+). I don't know how Mooney Warther carved all those train pieces by hand!! We took the guided tour, which I recommend. I think you'll get a much more in-depth understanding of Warther's work with the docent explaining everything. Well worth the drive to Dover, OH (from Cuyahoga Falls it's a 45-minute drive).

I came here with my mom as a kid but never knew where it was. When my husband and I decided to spend the night in Amish Country I decided to look for things to do and saw this. Knowing his love for trains and history i brought him. He loved it. I wish we'd have had more time. I will plan better next time.

Very interesting museum! Well laid out, and exceptionally neat and clean. Well worth the visit.

Amazing! I had the privilege to receive a pair of hand carved pliers from Mr. Warther when I was a small child. I just visited the museum again more than 5 decades later and was blown away. There are no words to describe the talent of this wonderful man, you must experience it first hand. I recommend joining one of the tours. It did not take too long and made the museum come alive and be so much more interesting. A must see gem in central Ohio.

I will be honest, I had never heard of the museum, Ernest Warther, or his carvings. We went with a group to the museum and I am so happy we did. The carvings on display are amazing! Probably the world's best woodcarver in all of history. The precision is mind-blowing. We were amazed at the talent. The museum does a great job telling the story of his life, which is very interesting, as well as presenting his amazing talents. I just can't say enough of how happy I am to have gotten to see and learn about the works of Ernest Warther. Also, the story of his family and spouse is great too. We also enjoyed seeing his wife's collection of buttons. All worth seeing. I highly recommend it and would certainly return.

Awesome little park for kids! Clean, cozy, & perfect for elementary ages—short ride waits 😊. Classic rides are well-kept, pavilions great for picnics. Friendly teen staff, but food’s just okay & opens late (5:30 PM). Pools look fun! Super affordable, ~$10/kid. 9/10, we’ll bring the family back! 🎠

Loved it! Best carousel I've ever seen. It was a ticket chance pit stop I picked out. And I am so glad that I did because it ended up being a great main attraction for our trip. Everyone loves it.

Great place to take young kids and tweens. Prices are very fair and there's is also a playground. All around great day.

Loved the park! Rides are great for little kids, food is great! The price of food and rides is very reasonable! We love going here every summer! Staff very friendly. Restrooms cleanly.

It been years since we was at the park. We decided today just to take a walk around the pond. Me and my husband met at the park 15 yrs ago. Love the new boardwalk and gazebo. I was very impressed.

Our 2 and 5 year old had a blast riding the rides and playing on the playground equipment. All staff was friendly and upbeat. The park and facilities were clean and well taken care of.

Very nice park. It has a swimming pool, playground, amusement park rides, a pond to fish, pavilions for picnics and a place to buy food. Rides do cost and there is a fee for the pool. Unsure of cost. There are restrooms located centrally in the park. Kept in good condition.

We spent about 2 hours here, probably could have been longer if we wanted to read all the information and listen to the videos. Very informative. Staff was very friendly and willing to answer questions. Nice little gift shop, that has books, key rings, ornaments, children's toys and more. The Museum is part of the Ohio History Connection, if you have a membership, you get in free, otherwise $10 for adults.

This place is such a wonderful place for anyone that loves history. The Campus Martius Museum has lots of nice displays about the first settlement in the Northwest Territory. It's really cool how they built around the Rufus Putnam house and brought it back to it's original configuration. They also have the the Ohio Land Office building which is the oldest building in Ohio. They even have a cute little gift shop with some cute items.

Very neat place. There is so much history involved. Loved it. Sue, the Tour Guide was so friendly and showed us around, giving us a detailed description of the Fort and stories of Marietta. The Museum displays are very well laid out and informative.

Campus Martius Museum has displays about the first settlement in the Northwest territory. It includes the Ohio Land Company office, the oldest building in Ohio, and Rufus Putnam’s house. It has exhibits about the early settlers life, as well as migrations of people to and from the area. There are exhibits to engage all ages. We took about an hour to go through it but you could easily spend several hours exploring the museum.

This museum has so much! We definitely didn’t give enough time to fully explore this gem of a destination. The guided tour was terrific! And there is so much here. We will definitely be back many times over. We bought young kids and they enjoyed it too. If you’re a history nerd you’ll love it even more! If you love books read ‘Pioneers’ by David McCullough before you go and you’ll appreciate the displays even more.

Very interesting, lots of amazing displays. They actually built the museum around the Putnam house! There are 3 levels of exhibits, plus the house and even some neat hands-on stuff for kiddos. The gift shop has a wide array of interesting things, very reasonably priced.

3 buildings to view. I learned a lot and enjoyed the articles

What a beautiful island and mansion! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and we also enjoyed the boat ride to and from the island.

First time visiting Blennerhassett Island, loved the Island. The only think I would've changed don't going in summer time, very hot and humid. If you want to go inside the big house buy tickets. The other smaller house is empty inside. We did rent bikes that was nice. On the ferry ride over some people bought they own bikes. Gift shop was the only place to get relief from the heat. Parkersburg area seems empty even though homecoming was happening. I would love to visit again but only in fall time.

I absolutely loved everything about this place. We did the whole package which included the museum, boat ride, horse carriage ride and tour. It was such a beautiful and great experience. I highly recommend for everyone!

I very much loved touring Blennerhassett Island! The ferry ride was relaxing and had fun facts - there is an upper and lower deck as well as a ramp to get on the boat. It was incredibly hot the day I went but the boat crew boys worked their tail off. The island is beautiful and stroller, wheelchair, and fat person friendly. Everything is in close proximity and flat to walk, much under shade. The gift shop is small and mainly knickknacks but they folks working were INCREDIBLY kind. So were the workers of the booths and wagons. I did not do a wagon ride as I really wanted to get some exercise in and lots of small kids and families on the wagons. My docent was incredible. Knew tons of the history and even threw a few “Hamilton” jokes in. I was also very impressed the island worked hard to say “enslaved people” which is the correct terminology! The house is gorgeous and does have an upstairs to see. Can take pictures without flash. Really enjoyed my time, said about 3 hours on the island. The mainland museum is fun and eclectic collections of local history and Blennerhassett objects. I wish I had done the museum first and then the island, but can be done in either order. Good for any one of any age, but the little kids in my tour group were definitely fidgety in the heat. I went as a single 26 year old woman who loves history and it was a total gem in my trip for a friend’s wedding. Would strongly recommend as it is cheap per person and very walkable!

What a neat place to spend an afternoon. We enjoyed the horse carriage ride and the history lesson of the island and its structures. We then took the house tour which told about the family that lived there. The stern wheel boat ride to the island was very nice and relaxing!!

Not often is there an opportunity to visit a historical island, accessible only by ferry. It's a very interesting piece of frontier history, when the wild west was anywhere beyond Virginia. The mansion is interesting, even if if is a facsimile of the original. More important, in my opinion, would be the museum. Full of artifacts through the ages, it give a wonderful link to a world gone by.

Perfect place to spend the afternoon! To get there, you ride a traditional sternwheel ferry. Once on the island it's picturesque. The wagon ride is definitely a must. All the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and really seems to enjoy their job. We got a quick bite at the concession pavilion and the prices were very reasonable. We spent about 3-4 hours touring.

If you're a fan of cryptids, folklore, or just delightfully quirky Americana, the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, WV is an absolute must-visit. This place is a love letter to one of the most fascinating legends in American history—and it delivers in spades. The museum dives deep into the eerie events of 1966–67, when locals reported sightings of a winged humanoid with glowing red eyes near the TNT area. These chilling encounters culminated in the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge, and ever since, the Mothman has loomed large in pop culture and local lore. The museum does a fantastic job of presenting this history with both reverence and flair. Inside, you'll find original newspaper clippings, eyewitness sketches, and even props from the 2002 film The Mothman Prophecies. There's a full-size Mothman statue, vintage police reports, and a recreation of the infamous TNT bunker. The displays are immersive and thoughtfully curated—equal parts spooky and fascinating. And don’t skip the gift shop! It’s packed with Mothman-themed treasures: shirts, sweatshirts, hats, buttons, stickers, mugs, and even plush cryptids. Whether you're looking for a tongue-in-cheek souvenir or a serious addition to your paranormal collection, they've got you covered. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the legend. This museum isn’t just a roadside attraction—it’s a celebration of mystery, community, and the enduring power of storytelling. Highly recommend! 👣🦇

My little sister and I visited last year, and we loved this museum!! We thought we knew everything about Mothman, but we learned a lot here! We also really liked how they talked about Mothman in pop culture, as we didn’t know much about the movie, etc. We made a lot of good memories here and took a lot of fun pictures, too!! The ticket price is not that bad - definitely worth the money!! Also, the gift shop has a lot of neat things, like T-shirts, books, stickers, and more! Definitely check it out!

I recently stopped by the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and it was a delightfully quirky dive into cryptid lore! Tucked right next to the iconic Mothman statue on Main Street, the museum is surprisingly small—think cozy roadside attraction rather than sprawling exhibit hall—but don't let the size fool you. It's absolutely packed with fascinating memorabilia, from original 1966 newspaper clippings and handwritten eyewitness accounts of those eerie red-eyed sightings to vintage photos, artifacts from the Silver Bridge collapse, and all sorts of mysterious "Men in Black" tidbits that left me piecing together the cryptic puzzle like a true conspiracy enthusiast. If you're into folklore, UFOs, or just a good shiver of the unexplained, this spot delivers big on intrigue in a bite-sized package. Pair it with a stroll to the statue or the annual Mothman Festival in September for the full eerie experience. Highly recommend—it's the kind of hidden gem that sticks with you long after you've left those haunted hollers!

We stopped in to get souvenirs for our daughter. We didn't actually go into the museum, just the shop. It had lots of different t-shirt designs, stickers, books, and other items. It was a nice stop, right on our route. The lady behind the counter was very nice, and I got a free drawstring bag for spending over $100. I do love a free bag! 😄 It was great fun and I'm glad we stopped.

Wonderful experience! The statue was clean. The museum was clean and well informative! The staff were great and kind. As a cryptic lover, I have found my trip from out of state to this location to be wonderful. I will be coming back. Thank you to the staff who made my trip!

I just happened to go on the weekend of September 20th an the festival was going on I didn't even know it was going on til we all got there. We were initially just heading to the museum. The museum was definitely awesome.... I would have had a better time had I not had to potty the whole time but that's on me not the museum lol. There was a lot of cool history, pictures, costumes, actual plush like mothman characters, movies, lore, prophecies, stings even videos. I will say go to the museum when the festival is in town too there is a lot of cool stuff. Posters, plaques, clothing, purses, jewelry, art, etc. an you can't forget to take a picture with the statue itself in the middle of the square an touch his butt it's legen haha.

We unfortunately didn't get to visit the actual museum portion of the Mothman Museum, BUT the gift shop section was great! They had a Mothman version of about everything you could think of. The staff was super friendly as well. It's worth stopping by, even if you only have a few minutes. Next time I hope to actually go through the museum!

What a lovely hidden jem riddled with history. You can spend a lot of time here walking and exploring. Wear good shoes, bring a camera, and some water. There are lovely photo ops and even an Instagram moment. There is a stage, so there must be events or concerts here. Definitely worth the stop! Enjoy.

Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is absolutely beautiful! The view of the river is breathtaking, with peaceful scenery that makes you want to stay and take it all in. The historic cabin on the grounds is a must-see — it’s full of fascinating history and gives the park a unique charm. Everything is clean, well-kept, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing visit or a quiet walk. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re anywhere nearby!

While smaller than some other state parks, Tu-Endie-Wei is free to enter and offers beautiful river views, picnic areas, and walking paths along the riverfront, adorned with murals and statues depicting local history. Overall, it's a worthwhile stop for history enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil outdoor setting. Point Pleasant's Tu-Endie-Wei State Park offers a peaceful and historically rich experience at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. The name itself, "Tu-Endie-Wei," means "point between two waters" in the Wyandotte language.

Bucket list item, complete!! Such a nice little park, one of the 13 swings are located here. It's worth the trip, and also explore the old house. Great history, beautiful views of the bridges and river

Point Pleasant historical site, well worth the time. Make sure you take time to view the murals along the river. Check open hours for the historical cabin tour.

A nice small park to spend a few hours. There is hours of history to explore. There is monuments and a colonial home to explore. The parks dog friendly.

We learned about this park and the history behind it. Took a free tour of the park museum, which is located in the middle towards the back of the park. There is a trendy swing by the water wall, and open views of all the bridges. Very beautiful place for scenic views.

Capitol Market – Charleston, WV I had the pleasure of exploring Capitol Market, a year-round indoor-outdoor market nestled in a beautifully renovated train station from the 1800s . The atmosphere is warm, historic, and refreshingly bustling. What Makes It Special 1. A Unique Blend of Offerings Inside, you’ll find an eclectic mix of specialty shops: everything from a wine & cheese shop, butcher, fish market, chocolatier, to a coffee bar, bakery, art galleries, and more . It’s a one-stop shop for local flavors and artisanal treats. 2. Indoor & Outdoor Charm The indoor section offers a charming, tight-knit ambiance, while the outdoor space transforms into a vibrant farmers’ market with seasonal produce, flowers, and even pumpkins and Christmas trees when the time comes . 3. Fantastic Dining Options It’s more than just shopping. Stop by Soho’s Italian Restaurant for a refined dining experience—think pasta alfredo, lasagna, beef carpaccio, jambalaya, and vegetarian dishes . For quicker eats, Bogey’s serves some local favorites—grilled shrimp tacos, tri-tip Philly, roasted corn, and an award-winning hot dog crowned “best in the state” by Taste WV . My Take Visiting Capitol Market was like stepping into a lively slice of Charleston’s community culture. Whether I was browsing through artisan chocolates or savoring a fresh sandwich, the vibe was always inviting and authentic. There’s always something to discover—be it a hidden gem vendor or a new flavor. If you’re looking for a place that blends food, craftsmanship, and community, Capitol Market is your go-to destination. ⸻ Want a shorter Instagram caption or bullet-style summary? Just let me know!

Such a cute place with so many delicious things! The brunch (steak and eggs) was amazing and the handmade Swiss chocolate were delicious! The farmers market out back had the best selection and the prettiest mums! ~traveler from NC

While visiting WVA my wife and I stopped by the Capitol Market in Charleston to see what it was all about. This was our first time at Capitol Market and I haven't seen anything like this out west where I live so, it was a new experience for us. We met a very nice cashier lady named Kay that held on to are items while we shopped around. She was kind, and very helpful and we appreciated her. The market was very impressive inside and out with so many beautiful things and food, wine, seafood restaurants and coffee shops there is something there for every occasion and taste. The prices, the service, the employees and the food was awesome! To the Vendor Teresa, at the outdoor market that sells the metal stamped yard ornaments ( BEE HAPPY ). Thank You for locating and holding on to our items that I left at your counter, we appreciate your attentiveness, honesty, and kindness you've shown. Thank You, We Had a Great Experience!

The Sushi Garden is one of the best options to eat a quick lunch in the area. The selection is huge and you can compliment your meal here with other additions around the market. It’s better to let it set to reach room temperature in my opinion but it’s good either way. The staff is friendly as well. When paying you have to pay attention when leaving a tip because sometimes you can’t and cancels the transaction if you use a certain type of card. But definitely a better way to get more bang for your buck when other places cost 10 dollars plus for 4 pieces! I also like when Ellen’s ice cream has a little pop up heat on the summer months. That is just what the market needs on my opinion and it is most welcomed by me. The selection is small but it is good enough for me as all of the flavors are delicious. I’d like to see it as a permanent staple as well but I’ll take what I can get. Bogeys has opened up a location here and you better get there early or wait until the rush is over because it is popular and it is good. I be only had the burnt ends but I will be back to have more. They were juicy and delicious and that undeniable burnt end taste from the BBQ. A huge addition to the capital market which needed another restaurant to replace the fish market. Love to see it growing!

And unexpected find in a town we were unfamiliar with. It offers a wide variety of fruit, vegetables, plants, and an indoor building full of shops and eateries. We really enjoyed our visit and had a great lunch there too!

The Capital Market is a nice market. It is mostly produce and food items with a restaurant sohos on the far end. It is open air and inside what looks like a old train station.

Love coming from KY for a day trip. The coffee, chocolates, meats and sushi 🤩 You can't beat picking you up a salad or meal from Boggies. Fresh produce and the finest whole foods items. Outside is awesome too. Plants, flowers, flats and yard decor.

Great place to go to learn the history of the area that is now West Virginia. Easy walk through the museum. No admission cost to the museum or gift shop. Free parking on Saturdays in the lots on the complex. You should also go by the Veterans Memorial near the museum.

I was pleasantly surprised at how large this museum was. Free admission, easy path to navigate, but again, significantly larger than I had expected haha. Tons of history, you could be here for hours.

Free and if you are going to tour capitol building the museum is just next door. There was a very nice display of quilts there. Lots of historical information and artifacts. Takes a while to walk through. It's go at your own pace and also kind of drawn out so be a true history buff or museum lover to enjoy fully. Nice statue of miner outside the museum building.

This museum is a gem! Very educational while having fun. Appealing to all ages, the exhibits are in chronological order. Would highly recommend this anyone visiting Charleston, West Virginia.

We loved visiting this museum. It was small, but perfect for kids with low attention spans. I especially loved the art made by people who work for the state displayed on the second floor.

Wow impressed with the set up. Great way to walk through the history of West Virginia. 8 year old son, “that was worth it!” They have a scavenger hunt for kids.

A true gem for anyone passing through the capital city. Took my family here after a track meet and plan on returning with my father who is a native born Mountaineer and has never been to this. It’s free admission and very enjoyable and educational about the states history from prehistoric times to current day.

I enjoyed being able to explore tha capitol building. Seeing where the Supreme Court meets. I was able to observe the chambers of the Congress today. The people at the information desk were very helpful to point out places I could see in the building. This is a free activity Accessible mens and women's restrooms. Van accessible pay by app in middle of the complex

Awesome architecture, great grounds, we went through security and were able to see the different chambers inside the building. Very cool.

What an impressive building - the 23 carat gold leafed done is perfect in the sunlight. And the view of the river in front sets it off well. Visit the Archives/Museum ( their gift shop has terrific articles and food made in WV)

The Gold Dome is iconic! I spotted it from miles away when driving in, and seeing it up close was very cool. Even in cloudy weather, it shone very brightly, as gold does. Seeing it up close was what really did it justice, like Jim could tell you (WV pun). Very much a stop and visit, cheers.

Parking and then finding a way into the capitol was not fun. Many entrances were closed to construction or security when we visited. Finally inside, we join a tour group already started. I've seen many incredible capitols (Mississippi for example) and WV just rubbed me the wrong way. It's the 5th(?) capitol built in WV and very, very "high-end" with imported crystal chandeliers from the Czech republic and millions of dollars worth of marble. For all that it feels like an empty grand ballroom, more functional than lovely. A very expensive monument for a part-time legislature.

I visited on a Saturday, so parking was easy and there weren't a lot of people around. The building is very nice, but the rotunda was off-limits due to some construction.

Beautiful building and grounds. Make sure your camera battery is full and your memory card is empty, a lot of great photos to take here. Don't stop at the outside, spend a few minutes inside as well and tour the Governor's Residence if able.
