We had an absolutely five star camping weekend!! We camped in area G which is brand new and in great condition. The electrical is all up to code and proper breakers and outlet receptacles are available for 15/20, 30, and 50 amp service. Water is clean and clear and has a pretty neutral taste. There were four individual showers available for our area with a little trickle of otherwise very hot water in well kept stalls. The beach by area G was nice and clean and offered a refreshing cool off from the afternoon heat. There wasn't any ice available for purchase but the store right down the road had some. It was a surprisingly quiet weekend but it was still early in the season. As a bonus, we picked up a few bags of trash around the campground to get a couple free nights!! We'll be happy to come back again!!

It's a great place for a hike. Very beautiful. The restrooms were absolutely disgusting with feces everywhere.

Nice place when we were kids in the 60's-70's and went here. A lot changed since then. Campground is huge but you're on top of each other. Beach was so-so. There was a group that day that sat their book box in the sand and cranked it up all the way which is ridiculous. Also seems like you can smoke anywhere even right on top of your kids. Probably won't go back.

Beautiful campground! We parked our RV for a month on a paved even spot. Trails are great to exercise. We didn't use the beach but it's looks great. Weekends are packed but not crazy. Only cons for us are there is no Wi-Fi and it's far from our family. We chose this campground because they have 50% discount for 100% disable veterans.

What a weekend we had! This place put an amazing learning weekend with Mohican and often does. Check the schedule for great outdoor learning with your kids! Got to see the Osprey nest and shoot BB guns! What a blast

Nice, clean park with lots of updates in camping area's and throughout the property. Many things to do as well. Staff on site and info available at visitor center.

Used to be a really nice camping experience it is now overbuilt , overpriced, and not worth the time and money to deal with the watershed district has completely ruined all their parks and diminished the wilderness and wildlife in the parks they show little regard for thier customer base. overpriced trailer park.

Kingwood had so many things to see. I would recommend three to four hours because the grounds are quite large. Although we originally came because we wanted to see the form of gardens, we were disappointed because they are under construction. We were told they probably won't be completed for 2 years so we'll have to come back. In the meanwhile, you can go on their website there are many pictures to see there. These are just a few of the pictures we took while we were visiting.

It's amazing that such a beautiful treasure is available to the public in Mansfield Ohio! Prepare to take your time and relax as you tour this amazing estate and it's gardens!

Highly recommend visiting. The grounds and mansion are very nice. The staff is friendly and very informative. There is a sweet story book trail for children. It's nice to set your own pace and wander around

I love flowers and gardens, and this place is fascinating to visit. We enjoyed our day immensely. The grounds are beautiful, and we appreciated touring the mansion. They also have a snack shop with a variety of heavier meal options, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend visiting Kingwood Center Gardens. They have special events happening, so be sure to check the website for current information. When we were there, they had a violet sale.

I attended a regional garden club meeting here and didn't expect much really. Boy, was I mistaken! Upon 1st exiting the entry building into the garden, there were 2 enormous bald cyprus trees in view. They were so big, It made me turn right around and ask the staff in the building if they knew the age. They said those trees were growing since before the property was designed so quite well over 100 years ago. The rest of the grounds were almost as impressive. Trees and plants I've never known before. The greenhouse was impressive too! We'll worth a visit for anyone who loves nature!

Kingwood Center Gardens in Mansfield, Ohio, is full of beauty for photographers—vibrant flowers, elegant garden layouts, and charming architecture. The historic mansion adds to the appeal, especially the grand staircase with its ornate railing. And the resident peacocks are always a highlight to capture!

Kingwood is a lovely Hardens and Historic Home venue. There is much to see and do. I highly recommend the cafe. Lunch options provided by Buellers.

It was a nice place, very clean and pretty. The gift shop had a lot to it. We attended the maple festival and are excited to go back. We weren’t sure what we were walking into and wish we had been better prepared, and better guided once at the park. We are looking forward to seeing more of the park and going to more events!

What a great place! Tour the big house! Our tour guide was great! This place takes you back in time and inspires you to read a book or 2. Look to see when they are having an event, those can be fun too. We went on a quiet summer day.

This state park is unique as its name implies, it is a farm with an interesting history. They have tours of the farm house, I opted not to do this as my shoes became extremely muddy on one of the trails. There’s a gift shop, which also has a room with information on this farm and farming in general. If you go hiking here, you should download a map from their website. The trails have a lot of offshoots and aren’t marked well at intersections. There's a good variety of birds here as well.

Beautiful park!!! Went to the Maple Syrup Festival for the 1st time, and it was so awesome! Great experience. You could ride the van or the horse and carriage to the syrup farm. You got to learn about the history and the science of how syrup was/is made. The landscape was so beautiful too! Definitely recommend going for the Festival or even just to explore the park! There was also a little Richland County museum beside the Pugh Cabin.

This place is awesome. We went for the maple syrup festival. They had maple syrup though the ages ( Native American -early settlers up to modern day. It place was amazing.

Decided to check out the maple festival for the first time since I was a child and we were not disappointed! 10/10 will be going back again! The new visitors center is a great addition and getting to ride to the sugar shack via horse carriage was lovely!

Beautiful, well maintained and quiet. A lot of Ohio history dating back to 1750s! Lots of hiking trails and scenic views. Highly recommend this place!

What a gem of a place! Very accessible, the staff were all amazing and the birds were so cool. Great prices in the gift shop as well! Worth the trip!

Everything about this place is a sanctuary! The staff are incredibly kind and pleasant. The birds are well cared for. We had a fabulous time. The plant walk was very special, too!

This place is amazing on so many levels!! To see the birds so close, to feed some, the walking trails, and all of the amazing things they do for all of the avian species!!! I even had a bird on my hand eating from the cup. Best experience ever!

Excellent. Outstanding. The staff and volunteers were terrific. This is a real gem. Rescued songbirds sit on the ledge and eat out of your hand. Hawks, eagle, crow, falcons, all rescued and well loved at this sanctuary.

My husband took me here and it was a nice day. Loved feeding the song birds and gazing at the hawks and eagle. Also nice trail through woods.

An enjoyable visit! Very informative and staff super friendly! We will definitely visit again in the future

Very helpful staff they will be able to take in most births except for waterfowl. The trails going through the park are absolutely beautiful I love their tree house feature that they have on one of the trails.

One of the best tracks in the country. Awesome layout, many many great viewing areas. Some you get some awesome views of some corners and a few spots where you can see most of the lap.

No PA system, no score board, no TV monitor, no seats, or good place to watch the race from. Major upgrades and accommodation needed . Not exactly a great venue.

I went for a Lexus performance driving event. Everything about our day was perfect. We did autocross. The skid pad and a lot of laps around the big track. Had a wonderful day! Everything was perfect! Super friendly, super professional! Super clean and just Wow! Made a lot of smiles and happiness in everyone that attended! Never have I witnessed so many huge smiles and happy people!

I have been coming to Mid-Ohio for 30+ years. My son was 9 when I first brought him to watch the the races. We are here this weekend with my grandson who is 5 now. The camping area is excellent for both RVs and tents. Plently of clean porta-poddies are available and everything here is kept clean and in good working order. Concession stand are availabe for food and souvenirs. I am also a High Performance Dri ing Instructor for the Porche Club. The technical track layout and elevation changes make Mid-Ohio a driver favorite. I also took the Skip Barber 3 Day Racing School here, an unforgettable experience. If you have ever wanted to safely experience driving at speed on a race track, be sure to check it out.

Absolutely a beautiful facility that gives you the green viewing areas to set-up your lawn chair and your cooler to watch the event. Large camping area and golf cart rentals make it easy to get around. Only four stars because they are severely understaffed. Poor traffic control, and never saw any security at all.

My daughter and I have gone to the indy car race the last 2 years and have a had a wonderful time on both occassions. Mid Ohio Sports car course offers a great opportunity for everyone to get close to the action. The course has many great vantage points to set up your chairs and tent pull out your cooler kick back and watch the races. With the addition of paddock and pit passes you can get down close to the cars and meet your favorite driver. If you have not been I highly recomend it. I will add that they recently replaced the grandstand seating.

Exciting Road Course in Mid-Ohio, I've been here mostly for NASCAR weekends, though, it's usually supported by other series too throughout the weekends. Plentiful room to put out your chairs and sit, never have felt like I couldn't find a fantastic view, and ample opportunity to sit on great curves that provide a ton of entertainment. Grandstands, throughout the track for a bit more of a fee, not necessary, but always available and never super crowded for those that simply want to get to a quick and less crowded seats. I'd recommend, Grand Stands 2, as it's situated on the backstretch with the best curves. Plenty of portable pots and one decent real restroom, never any issues trying to get in and out of restrooms like many races, and sporting events. Always available. Refreshments, and merchandise area could be updated and left a little bit to be desired. There's much downtime between events, and the oppurtunity to shop more, or more places to get different types of food and snacks, would certainly help pass the time and provide for more entertainment between practices, qualifying, and races. Parking is ample, and plentiful, easy to get in and out. Prices for weekends are extremely agreeable, as well as the season passes, and camping. Plenty of camping surrounding the track, golf cart rentals to get back between sights and track in general. Overall Mid-Ohio is an awesome gem in Central Ohio countryside, that provides great aggressive road racing, great prices, and easy accessible facilities and refreshments, with all that being said, there is oppurtunity to be had with mid event entertainment, merchandise, and concession area's.

Found this place on the web. Ordered a number of items. So far, we have only tried the Cucumber Dill dressing. We loved this so much that I had to order more. Can't wait to try the other products we bought.

Lots of unique items. Good food. It's worth stopping to see and enjoy the atmosphere. Stopped in for fresh tomatoes and a roast beef sandwich on the marble rye bread I bought there as well. Nice of them to customize the sandwich for me. Raised to five star!

Great place to buy gourmet items and especially locally made. I worked there for over a year and I can assure you they use only premium ingredients. Coopers Mill started out as a family business and even though the original owners passed away, three of the kids still work there and uphold the quality that's come to be known from there. Apple Butter is the absolute best around still cooked in a copper kettle over a wood fire what more could you want? BBQ you say?If you love bbq they make and sell that as well. So much at this little gem in Bucyrus. Visit you'll be glad you did.

There is a big variety of jams and bbq sauce. There is a deli with the best sandwiches. They put jam on their deli meat sandwich!

We received a jar of Christmas Jam this year and it is literally the best Jam I've ever had in my life! Two thumbs up!

My wife and I love this place. We stop in for the homemade fudge and other unique items that makes this place great. My dog loves the peanut butter dog bones from here, we buy them 20 at a time. This is a regular stop for us every 3 weeks or so. Always an excellent experience!

My wife and I love coming here! You can always find something nice

This is a very scenic part of the trail. I started at the trailhead near Mt.Vernon Avenue to the railroad bridge. The hills get higher near the bridge, and the trail and river make for a picturesque setting.These are pictures from April 6th, 2025, after a few days of heavy rainfall.

This is a great trail, we traveled from Mt Vernon to the tunnel in Howard. There is a lot of shade and some great scenery. There are places to stop and rest, and a few bathrooms along the way too.

I can only speak to about 10 miles of the trail but it is seriously one of the best I’ve been on for biking and walking. There’s a lot of wildlife too. During my quick ride today I saw a deer and two groundhogs. A lot of the trail is surrounded by trees which provides nice shade / scenery. I love that there are benches throughout and I love the bridges! I have tried to rollerblade here before and while it was okay it can be tricky due to the sticks and debris from the trees etc.

One of Ohios best bike rides!! Smooth surface the whole way with a good amount of hill climbs and scenic farms along the way.

Most scenic trail I have done. I parked in a parking lot in mount vernon. Went left from parking lot. Train you can climb on about 4 miles out. Another 5 miles (9 total) is the tunnel built mid 1800s.

This is a great trail to walk or ride your bike. I travel all the way from Columbus because this is my favorite trail to ride my bike 25-40 miles. There is a tree canopy for most of the trail so you don’t have to worry much about getting too hot or getting too much sun. The initial ride is along the River on one side and a big wooded hill on the other. The trail doesn’t have many big hills to ride over, it’s pretty level.

Just got back from a morning bike ride with the family. This is a really nice, peaceful trail with a lot of scenery. It runs along the Kokosing river in Mt. Vernon and continues to Gambier to the south. Nice little getaway for some morning exercise and relaxation.

The lookout tower is worth the climb. Seems a lot higher than what it looks from down low. Pretty park and lakes. I didn’t explore the whole area, but bathrooms were closed and I didn’t see a playground.

It's a beautiful park but we found it to be a little bit post apocalyptic. The glass river seemed to have been removed. Maybe they were just redoing it but that was a disappointment for us.

What a great way to preserve history and turn ruins into an interesting place.just under a mile walk around the perimeter. Longer if you climb the terraces and steps to the observation point. Great signage. Worth a few minutes of your day of in the area.

Such a great park! Half was fun and whimsical, full of art and history. The other half was so serene and peaceful

Beautiful, well-maintained park. You can climb the observation tower and see the whole park. Very beautiful at sunrise. Would have 5 stars if there was more shade, but most of the paths are full sun all day.

This park was nice to walk and check out the interesting facts about the old glass factory here. It does require walking and climbing the tower so know this before going. I enjoyed the afternoon.

Very cute town. Not smart taking trip when 92 degrees but we did it

There are a lot of amenities here, basketball court, volleyball, playgrounds, camping, and a nature center. There are several trails, none of them are very long. The trails are well marked with maps at intersections. It’s not the prettiest state park in Ohio, but reservoir/dam area is really nice.

Okay dude straight up I'll be honest here I can't really recommend stopping by this park. Like It's extremely muddy almost all the time. Like sticky deep mud that is real hard to navigate through if you're not properly prepared to do so. If you have boots or something it's fine but I really don't like hiking in waterproof boots. It's such a pain in the neck and I mean it's muddy to the point that my dogs can't even walk across the mud. I can't stand it like maybe after a drought come by and visit but if it rained at all you're going to be a mess when you leave here. Like I don't know man If I was driving a four-wheeler through here or like a dirt bike or something that would be a different story this would be awesome but you can't bring vehicles in here lol You definitely can't dress casually you will ruin a pair of shoes if you come in here You're probably going to leave a mess I just recommend going somewhere else. Like I said it'd be different if you could bring in like ATVs or something but this is pretty much walking only and it's just extremely frustrating sometimes especially if you have dogs. It's an okay park but the mud gets overwhelming sometimes. Just know that if you're going to bring a dog here you're either going to have to take a lot of detours to avoid the mud or you're going to have to have something set up in your car so they don't make a mess when they get back into your vehicle.

I drove through the park to see the eclipse campers. There was definitely excitement in the air. This is one of my favorite state parks. The campground can be very busy at times. I like to fish and kayak the lake. Fall colors are beautiful here.

It's not the prettiest park in the state, but it's still damn cool.

Our park has grown so much! So glad to see. I love our state park. We have a wonderful, knowledgeable naturalist, Meredith, whom is so knowledgeable about plants and trees, bugs and everything else in the park! I encourage anyone with dogs that love to go on walks, or young kids, to look up events !

What I like. It’s a state park, so the price is low. The park is very clean, including the bathrooms. There are plenty of pavilions for family events. I notice law enforcement driving through several times. That should deter bad behavior. What I don’t like. No Wi-Fi and poor cell coverage. You don’t go camping to be on the internet; however, it's hard to go days without some connectivity to the world. This place is small and tight. The park is a little too cozy for me. Would I stay here again? No. If I needed something in this area, I would stay at the KOA across the street.

Everyone here was absolutely amazing! Especially the camp host. I fractured my wrist on this camping trip, and absolutely everyone at this site was helpful and kind. Plus the sites themselves have some of the best trees and don’t feel claustrophobic like some other state park sites. The only strange thing is the motion activated showers… there should be a timer or something lmao.

Nestled in a picturesque park-like setting, Ye Olde Mill is a family-owned gem that offers a perfect blend of history, fun, and of course, incredible ice cream. Whether you’re seeking a memorable day trip or a sweet escape, this place is the perfect destination. The moment you step inside Ye Olde Mill, you’re enveloped in charm. The restored 19th-century grist mill stands tall amidst 20 acres of rolling hills, ponds, and lush greenery. It’s like stepping back in time, where a peaceful and family-friendly vibe envelops you. The outdoor areas are a haven for relaxation and enjoyment. Picnic tables, a playground, and a catch-and-release fishing pond cater to both kids and adults alike. But the real star of the show is Velvet Ice Cream. With over a century of crafting premium ice cream, they’ve earned a stellar reputation. I savored their signature Buckeye Classic, a heavenly fusion of peanut butter and chocolate. Rich, creamy, and utterly indulgent, it was a taste of pure bliss. The flavor variety is impressive, with over 40 options to choose from, including classic favorites like vanilla and chocolate, as well as unique seasonal creations. Indecisive dessert lovers like me will rejoice at the inclusion of samples. Before you commit to a scoop, you can indulge in a taste of the magic. The ice cream parlor inside the mill exudes a cozy and nostalgic charm, adding to the overall experience. And for those interested in the history of Velvet Ice Cream and the Dager family’s four-generation legacy, the small ice cream museum is a delightful bonus. It’s a fun way to learn about the past while enjoying a scoop of your favorite ice cream. To complete your visit, the gift shop offers an array of ice cream-themed souvenirs, perfect for taking home and sharing with loved ones. Velvet Ice Cream at Ye Olde Mill offers a delightful experience beyond just a sweet treat. The onsite restaurant serves a variety of lunch and dinner options. I savored their hearty and delectable Reuben sandwich, though I must admit that the food prices seemed a bit steep compared to the quality. Nevertheless, you’re truly paying for the overall experience, and in that regard, it’s an investment worth making. Just be sure to save room for dessert! Families will find plenty of activities to keep their children entertained. Feeding the ducks at the pond and enjoying the playground are just a few options. However, I was disappointed to learn that the factory tours, which provide a behind-the-scenes look at the ice cream-making process, are only available on weekdays. Plan accordingly if this is a must-do for you. Additionally, Ye Olde Mill is a seasonal attraction, open from May to October, so ensure your visit aligns with these months. A few practical tips: if you want to feed the ducks or utilize some of the smaller amenities, consider bringing cash. Visiting on a weekday can also help avoid the weekend crowds, especially during peak summer months or special events like the Utica Ice Cream Festival over Memorial Day weekend. The staff was friendly and helpful, but service in the restaurant can be slow during busy times, so patience is key. Overall, Velvet Ice Cream at Ye Olde Mill is a quintessential Ohio experience that combines delicious ice cream with a charming, historic setting. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with a smile on your face and a craving for just one more scoop. I eagerly anticipate my next visit, perhaps trying the raspberry cordial or one of their seasonal sundaes. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone with a sweet tooth!

Our granddaughters (11 & 7) enjoyed our visit. Play area was ok. Restaurant was clean & our service was great. The ice cream was worth the trip from Columbus.

We tried to go to ice cream festival on Memorial Day weekend after spending the day sightseeing in Coshocton. We arrived 30 minutes before closing and the only parking available was $10. We kept driving. I had been to the festival years ago and don’t remember a parking fee. We visited several weeks later that’s not a festival day and was able to enjoy ice cream on the patio. Ice cream was delicious. There is a playground area for the kids. Parking was free.

Absolute gem of an ice cream shop. A very historic and beautiful atmosphere. The shop also has its own candy and soda pop. Plenty of comfortable outdoor seating. Lots of nice areas for kids to run around and explore including an arcade, pond for fishing, and playground.

Today we stopped by to take a break from driving and sat at a picnic table in a shelter house area and enjoyed a cold drink. Sometimes we stop to get ice cream which is always very good.

Great food and delicious ice cream. Ben and Andrea put together a perfect event for my team building. This is a hidden gem that is perfect for special occasions and work related special events.

Nice place to chill with the family. Good selection of ice creams. Have hit food but kitchen closes early, I think 5 pm. Play area is nice. A few shelters. Lots of seating places. Nice ponds (2) with mostly Largemouth bass. My 5 yr got her first here!

First of all a big shout out to the tour guide Bill . He gave us one of the best tours we have ever had . This place is a must visit please add to your bucket list . You will learn a lot about one of our presidents . This was the tenth presidential libraries I have visited. Great place to take the family well worth a trip .

Coming off a night with very little sleep (5-10 minutes), when all I wanted to do was take a nap in the parking lot after a long day of travel, I gathered just enough energy to walk inside and say hello to the guides, which led me to a "front porch" tour that did more than wake me up. It reminded me of why I had come to the Harding house in the first place, to talk with those who could offer their own American context, to appreciate and embrace what makes this nation and its leaders so fragile, so rewarding to study, despite our many faults and falls along the way.

Museum is very informative. Home has been well kept thru the years with mostly original furnishings. Tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable.

The grounds are well kept. Since we had our dog with us we passed on the tour today of the house & museum but plan to return at a later date. We spoke with several people who had viewed both and were told it was well worth seeing.

Very nice tour and very clean museum. The tour guide we had was very informative and made the tour fun and educational for all of us. Lots to see and do. There is also a nice gift shop and clean restrooms available. There was not a JR Ranger Program for those that have asked, but hopefully they will add it as it would be a great addition.

This is an amazing find if you want to see and learn about history. When President Harding passed away, the nation at the time was in shock and grieved. Unfortunately, his presidency was not treated well as members of his cabinet were caught up in scandals after Hardings' death. It would've been interesting to see how he would've dealt with all that came out. The museum did a great job of explaining without trying to cover anything up. What was extremely interesting was how Harding and his wife supported the women's suffrage movement and equality for races. Considering how women were ignored or called "nags" if they spoke up in public, Harding respected his wife's opinion. Mrs. Harding was really the first First Lady to champion women athletes and other women's causes. Always a hit, the President's dog, Laddie is good for all ages! The tour of the Harding's Queen Victorian home, right next to the museum, is well worth it! Plus, the museum has spent the money to install wheelchair access for more to be able to have full access. The home is in amazing condition, and the front porch experience is very cool!

One of the finest guided tours I have ever experienced! Our guide of the house was excellent, giving a very interesting, detailed account of the Hardings' life and home. The museum was also extremely interesting, although we regretfully didn't arrive early enough to read all the exhibit information. If you are a true history buff I would recommend at least three hours to go on the house tour plus visit the museum, watch the movie, and peruse the gift shop. Finally, while not on the same property, the Hardings' gravestones and memorial are nearby and are also well worth the visit. All in all, we had an extremely satisfying day here!

If you’re a history geek, this is a quick stop. Parking was plentiful. Beautiful memorial with historical information plaques. We were just passing through, stayed the night in Marion while on our way to NY and happened to see a former president had a memorial/grave site in the area and decided to make a quick stop early in the morning, before we continued on our journey. The site was way more impressive than I had expected—felt like it could have been in Washington DC and not in the middle of Ohio, surrounded by mostly farmland. If you’re in the area, appreciate American history, and have time, I’d recommend a visit.

This is no reflection on the president, just the memorial. Overall. The grounds are well kept and lush, the memorial itself is stunning and it's very nice to photograph. The grounds are public.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves, there are two small parking lots, a paved level walk way leads you to the memorial. The marks in the marble is absolutely stunning as it makes abstract designs, also check out the metal details of the stair railings and fencing, it's a beautiful floral design.

Harding wasn’t a very good guy, but he could have been a great president. The memorial itself is very beautiful.

An awesome experience. We learned a lot while we were there. Very impressed!

We were driving back home to Akron from Waldo and passed this behemoth of a memorial. Had no idea it existed and we had to stop. It was absolutely beautiful and also, educational. You just don't see places built like this in Ohio. It is reminiscent of Greece. I am really glad we stopped.

Very well upkeep and beautiful memorial. Would be better with a handicap ramp for disabled to get up to see the memorial

So good to see the Cherry Valley back as a general hotel without a water park. The atmosphere when I arrived on a Saturday was buzzing with a conference, a wedding party, and an endless stream of HS teens and their families taking prom pictures. The mood changed on Sunday. Super quiet. That should change. I had hot water issues in my room. Addressing it required a complete shut down of the water system. At least they were addressing it. It was good to see landscape crews working as I left. The grounds used to be immaculate. I hope the new owners will get back to green grass and less weeds. Time to replace the bathtub showers. Good luck, Cherry Valley Hotel. I had great times there from when it opened until 2005 when I moved. Bring it back to five stars.

Just got back from a weekend here. My wife and I were surprised at how beautiful the grounds are, it's really special. The service was excellent, and everybody was so friendly to work with. The layout is a bit tricky if you're trying to get to different areas of the hotel. The food was fantastic, and we though priced fair, although a dedicated coffee station would have been nice. The rooms were excellent with amazing views if you get an inward facing one. Overall, a special place in Ohio for a weekend getaway.

The staff went above and beyond to help my family and I while we were dealing with a situation with another hotel. They embraced us and showed empathy and took time to understand our situation. They were extremely kind, caring and professional. I very much appreciate them for that. Everything was clean, calm, and inviting. Simply one of the best hotels I ever stayed in. Although a bit of a distance from town, the staff made the extra travel worth. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Thankful for my experience.

How lucky we found this place! So many times we've visited Granville and stayed at the Granville Inn. But that place has become outrageously expensive. So we tried this place and it's so much nicer and half the price! It's huge, very charming, nicely done. There are numerous conference rooms of various sizes from small to huge. Well staffed, friendly, and clean. This will be our go-to hotel destination whenever we're back in town.

The staff, location, amenities, chefs, ambiance allowed for a “perfect” June wedding! Eric Lane, our Manager, provided low cost options to keep expenses reasonable. He was very helpful with every decision ( room setup, timing, food choices, room availability for guests staying there, photo opportunities, etc). Eric is warm, sincere, and pressure free. His thoughtful planning significantly dropped the stress level of planning such an event. Rain or shine, all guests would be comfortable. Eric was there on our Saturday ( his day off) to ensure every need was met, and all would go smoothly…which it did. The catering staff was personally engaging, encouraging, polite, making us feel like family. The Courtyard provided a stunningly gorgeous backdrop for photos. Our guests raved about the food at the Reception, quantity and succulent taste. Our sincerest appreciation for allowing our special day to be ‘perfect’! John and Colleen Kerns

This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I booked a last minute getaway and it was only a little over $100! It was serene, quiet, warm, inviting and the modern touch was a great surprise. The bed is very comfortable and the huge bath tub was awesome!

Staying in town for work, great experience at this hotel. Most rooms have a balcony. Amenities with the courtyard and pool, exercise room. Clean room and bed, not to mention it spacious. Looks recently updated. The hotel bar has surprisingly good food for the price, Alex is an awesome bartender too!

The site we were in was swampy, probably because of a large rain recently - but it looks like it is an ongoing issue because hay had been put down over the mud, and it had been there a little while. Other than that, the site was fine. Because we got there on a Monday (5/19), we nearly had the whole place to ourselves, which was nice fir quiet and solitude. Shower / restroom facilities were clean and updated nicely.

We are very impressed with the campground. The campground is laid out very well, sites are large and bathroom/shower rooms are clean. The hiking trails we went on were OK. One was very muddy due to all the rain in previous days and had large fallen trees over the path in areas. The beach is very nice as well, with clean bathrooms, and a nice playground area. The dam access was closed due to construction but the park area had 2 amazing playground areas. 1 for smaller kids and 1 for bigger kids. A great area for a picnic. Brand new bathroom as well.

Beautiful grounds! Camp host was amazing. Brought ice popsicle for kids. Had a Sunday party. Then a foam party. Grateful for the hospitality. Never been to a camp ground like this. The Dam tour was neat.

It was the labor day week end, the park is huge, organised, for all kind of different interests, camping, boating, swimming..etc. my kids enjoyed swimming in the clean water, we had a great time!

We took the dog and walked quite a bit. There were only a few people around and it was peaceful with great views of the lake.

Great hiking spot, and we found some morel mushrooms!

This is a wonderful place to camp. You have spacious campsites. Lots of activities for children. They have a playground they have Putt-Putt. They have two large dog parks access to a beach . The bathrooms and showers was very clean they have a laundry room. it was great for the amenities that you received so it's a wonderful activity to do with your family. We'll definitely be going back to stay

I love this place! I save so much money, and it’s conveniently right off the highway. It’s an easy way to score expensive items for cheap. Just a heads-up—August and December usually don’t have the best deals; May tends to be the best time to shop. There’s plenty to do in Columbus, but this outlet is far superior to the crowds and prices at other malls in the area.

I shopped in Old Navy (one of the brands inside Tanger Outlets). There's a lot of options available. The clothes are trendy. Price ranges are around $50 for a decent shirt. The quality comes with it. Fo window shopping, or to pass some time, it's a great place. They have many stores here. There's also a Starbucks inside. It's quite nice to visit with friends and family. I didn't buy anything (didn't need anything), but it's a nice place to visit.

Ah, Tanger Outlets — where discounts flow stronger than the Force itself! Nearly every store was flashing “40–70% Off” signs like lightsabers calling out to my wallet. From sporty finds at Nike and Under Armour to cozy hoodies at GAP and stylish steals at Francesca’s, the deals were as plentiful as stormtroopers at a parade. The atmosphere was bright and clean, with friendly staff and well-organized displays. But heed this Jedi’s warning: if you bring your wife and young Padawan along, your credits may vanish faster than a TIE fighter in hyperspace. Each “just one more store” turned into a galactic mission of bag-carrying proportions. Still, totally worth it. Great selection, unbeatable prices, and plenty of places to refuel between battles with the sale racks. The Force of savings is strong here — just remember, self-control is not included in the discount!

Tanger Columbus is now one of my favorite Shopping Outlets I look forward to going to for great deals. My first shop was Adidas. When entering I was greeted with a delightful smile. Good afternoon, welcome to Adidas, is there anything you’re interested in? I shared my interest. The Customer Service Rep then introduced herself, my name is Maura, and I am confident that we have what you’re looking for. Honestly, I would have completed my purchase at the first rack and other racks in that area. But Maura made sure I explored other options and that Adidas has two logos, both known Worldwide. Understood, the different sales are currently available 50%, 40%. Make sure my size was available and check out the different colors. Maura directed me to a spacious, clean dressing room with no pins and paper all over the place. I’m like OK! I left Adidas with a smile on my face and smile in my wallet. Thank you, Maura, for a delightful shopping experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had limited time and only went to Clark's shoes. BUYER BEWARE!!! Upon walking into the store, the clerk said all shoes $39.95!!! (Clearly sounds incorrect, so I paid attention to that announcement). She said the same to each of the next 6-8 people who entered. I picked out two pairs and went to pay. We were taking about the area and I did not pay attention to my receipt . Got home and was charged $109. In spite of the fact that this was $30 higher, it was a good deal. However I would likely have bought only one pair. I did call and explained this to someone who said they were the manager. They said that the $39.95 was for the clearance racks. Perhaps, but that is not what she said. Then said if I was unhappy with them, I could Return to Aurora Outlet store. I guess a one hour drive is better than a two and a half hour drive to return them. (we were coming home from a trip and stopped at Rangers).

My first time went to Coach 🧳👜👛👝🎒🧢👒🌂☂️🧥🕶️👓🩴🥿👞👟👢outlet nice sales great, went to Claire's it was alright took granddaughter.

Great place to find well-known brands at real discount prices. It’s clean, well-organized, and has plenty of parking. There’s a good variety of stores, and some offer extra deals if you use the Tanger app. Perfect spot for seasonal shopping.

I have been here numerous times. They carry many ohio made specialties. Meats, cheeses, maple syrup, pastries, and local produce. They are usually closed Dec-Feb. Otherwise, they have various hours depending on the season. They grow over 25 different types of apples. You can pick your own or a bag that is ready to go. They have samples of the apples so you can taste them before buying. During weekends it can be quite busy. There is a large parking lot with dedicated handicapped spots. The staff is very helpful and polite.

First time coming here to their sunflower field and it was beautiful! We also checked out their market and they had some good produce. Can’t wait to come back during the fall to pick apples and to check out their pumpkins!

We came for the sunflowers and bought many products from the farm. It was a nice market and not far from Columbus. Would recommend 😻

You can buy the produce at the market or pick your own on the farm. Different times of the year offer different produce. I typically only go in the fall and usually only to the market. You can get a wide variety of apples in the fall with my favorite being Pixie Crunch. In the market they carry many products from other local groups such as breads, pies, cheese, meats, as well as their own jellies, jam, salsa and more. Just outside of the market are other vendors selling items such as popcorn and nuts, and this year there was one selling pizza. I always buy a mum here as they are huge and beautiful and at a really good price. There are activities for kids around the market and across the street is a corn maze. You could definitely make a day out of a visit here. There are bathrooms (portojohns) and a paved parking area. The parking lot fills up quickly on the weekends, but there is plenty of overflow parking available. Credit cards are accepted at the market, but I dont know about the vendors outside or the rest of the farm.

We had a wonderful experience. Sue was an angel! (Apples are absolutely delish)

Lynd fruit farm has a fantastic selection of apples 🍎, fruits, jellies, vegetables, flowers and more. Customer service is excellent & knowledgeable. Fantastic place to spend some time and find great food. You can self pick apples and other fruit in season or purchase in their store. Well worth the drive to Pataskala OH. Very family friendly.

The farm offers a fantastic U-Pick Apple experience across vast orchards and features a dedicated Maze Fest area with a corn maze, bounce houses, and a barrel train. The experience is perfect for making family memories. The market is a must-visit for seasonal treats. Patrons rave about the freshly pressed cider and the impressive selection of homemade goods, including popular items like apple butter and the unique 'Traffic Jam' berry blend.

The zoo itself was great. Very enjoyable and I loved the amount of space the enclosures had for the animals. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is cuz the food is outrageous. $15 for a cheeseburger, $8 for a hotdogs. It cost us $90 just for food for a small party. Definitely pack your own lunch before your visit.

What a great time going. The last time I was here was when I was a child and how it has grown and changed is incredible. Such a diverse choice of animals from different regions of the world. Great displays touching upon conservation, education, and the impact mankind has on wildlife. Many extras with gift shops, food choices, rides, etc. Highlights were the manatee and hyena displays.

This was our 1st time visiting the Columbus Zoo and we had a GREAT time. It was cold so a lot of animals weren't out (which was expected) but the animals were did see were awesome and their habitats were set up really nice. We will definitely visit again.

Definitely get there in the morning because you’re going to need A LOT of time! The zoo is massive, we got there while there was still 2 hours to closing and barely saw 25% of it! We greatly enjoyed our time nonetheless! We went on a Friday and it wasn’t crowded, the zoo was very clean and we loved how large the enclosures were for the animals. Will definitely come back if we get the chance and spend all day there!

Honestly this zoo wasn’t it for us. We’ve been to an array of zoos over the years and found this one just wasn’t what we had hoped for. While it was clean and the layout was simple we found that many animals were off exhibit and many sections of the zoo not accessible for different events . Our favorite part however was the polar bear exhibit. It was fantastic and the animals are truly spectacular. Our least favorite is paying for parking and general admission costs, we found it to be much higher than other zoos we’ve traveled too and found that since the lack of animals on display + cost had us uninterested in returning for another visit.

This is my absolute favorite zoo so far. The wildlife is well taken care of. The aquarium is clean, beautiful, large, it's equally very amazing. The aquatic life is extremely happy. It seems all these animals have great space to be as close to real life as they can get in safety. I love Africa to see everything's so large. The restrooms are spotless. The employees are very kind and helpful. I can't say enough good about my experiences here. It's above in comparison to others I've been to in my surrounding areas. The gorillas have an amazing habitat as well as many other animals habitats there. I spend the night at a hotel so I can enjoy the entire zoo and take my time. I love the reptile building also. I can go on..

We had an amazing day at the Columbus Zoo. The Red Panda experience was absolutely incredible and 100% worth it. Getting to learn about these adorable animals up close was unforgettable. Tom from the Education Team was especially fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell how much he cares about the animals and making the experience special for guests. Highly recommend this zoo and the animal experiences to anyone visiting Columbus!

We had a great time. We got there when the park opened and rented a 21+ lounger space on the same day, but they do advise to book in advance online. For reserved padded lounge chairs in the semi private shade, access to the wait staff and a safe large enough to fit a large shoulder bag, we felt that the $100 fee was worth it. Since a large locker is $22 already. And since we also came in from out of town, the day use of towels included with the lounge rental were a nice bonus. The staff running the bar in that area were friendly and helpful. I would also advise to go to the left side of the parking lot when you arrive for close access to the Zoombezi entrance. If you follow the masses, you are going to end up on the zoo side with a considerable walk ahead of you. Take sunscreen. If this is the one thing you forget, the standard 6oz size spray is $30 on site. 30-40oz of heavily tequila laden margaritas is cheaper than 6oz of sunscreen here.

We went on weekend and it was super crowded. They have lots of fun things for kids and plenty of seating area. There’s no shade on rides. They have separate sheds for seating but you have to reserve them and they charge a lot for those “Cabanas”. It’s worth money if you’re someone who doesn’t mind going to overcrowded places.

Cashless isn't always convenient. Especially for a young person working and having cash they can't spend or having to purchase a card to purchase some over priced and mediocre food. Our pizza was overpriced and was terrible. Pool was shut down nobody knew why I don't know just filled on the organized

Cool place for kids. Def worth it to get the annual gold pass with free parking if you live close by and will visit often. Bring food and drinks, expensive and not that great inside.

It was a lot of fun. The best of all is that there were not many people and we could enjoy all the attractions without queuing.

I went with my friend and her kids and mine they had a fun time! Its very hot at the zoo! Get fans and water! Dont wear sandals lol! Blisters suck!

If you like water and if you are near columbus ? Don't forget to visit this place. Beautiful relaxing atmosphere , nice food choices, awesome rides for all thrill types . It is awesome in summer.

What a great gem! Came out here from Columbus on our quest to visit all of the small parks. Once you go up the hill to the top it’s a crazy easy walk around in a nice path. There are benches and dog bag holders and a few really nice boat ramps. This would be an excellent place to see the sunset. We will be back.

Great trail to walk, jog or ride a bike on all the way around. Boat ramps are easily accessible, great place to catch a breath of fresh air and take some great pictures

This is a great place to enjoy a nice long walk as well as some kayaking or canoeing. With how flat the rest of the area is, there can be some beautiful sunsets worth catching as well.

Nice open reservoir for a walk, jog, fishing or boating. People do practice photography here as well. Perimeter is easily couple of miles.

Very well taken care of, a treasure. Great for walking and jogging. Caught a few bass, biggest was 2 lbs 7 oz. Not much cover for bass unless there are bait fish attractors I don't know about but great sight fishing due to water clarity.

Great place to walk!

If you're looking for a place to run this is a good one. Easy to see signs, and a nonstop breeze make this I've of my favourite places to run or walk for that matter

Had a very nice time, perfect day to sit outside as they have tons of seating outside and in, if you prefer. Wine was good, had a flight so was able to sample a few , before making a choice to buy a bottle which is definitely nice. Service was good very knowledgeable and nice. Definitely recommend a stop and sip if you’re in the area.

This place is THE BEST!!! We got to celebrate my best friends bachelorette party here and we were so well taken care of. The wine was amazing, the food was amazing, the staff was amazing. Ryan and Taylor took such good care of us and gave us great recommendations!! 11/10 would recommend!

This was my first time at a Winery for a work outing and it was fun. I’m sure the prices are always high but to me that was a negative. High prices and small , however the pizza was very good . I loved the crispy crust. The slushy wine was good and I normally don’t drink. So that was a fun surprise. It was a good time.

We were looking for a good place for wine tasting and luckily they were open on Tuesday. Most others were not open till later in the week. We were welcomed when we entered. The building is clean and comfortable and new looking. The staff is helpful to pick wines. We each got a 4 flight of wine to taste. We shared a nice meat and cheese board. The food was fresh and delicious. The wines we chose we more on the sweet side and were also very good. I highly recommend trying this vineyard. Prices are fair. The environment is comfortable. The restrooms are clean. I will come back.

I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. First things first- the entire staff is welcoming, kind and knowledgeable which makes the experience all the better. Everything is very clean, organized and simple. Their wine slushies are SO good. They occasionally have food trucks out on the weekends so it’s a great time to grab something different to eat and have a glass of wine (or wine slushy) and relax on the patio! It’s not overly crowded- there’s plenty of space and the views are amazing!

Rockside Winery and Vineyards is such a beautiful place! I am not much of a wine drinker but they had amazing wine slushies! I also got their Bread &Oil and a personal pepperoni pizza. Both were phenomenal! Would highly recommend visiting if you ever get a chance!

Great place to relax; enjoy some drinks & snacks!

I had such a wonderful visit to the Franklin Park Conservatory! The different biomes were fascinating and made the experience both serene and educational. The bonsai exhibit was absolutely immaculate, and I was pleasantly surprised by how impressive the architecture itself was as part of the attraction. A beautiful place to spend the day and definitely worth a return trip!

I felt the price was about $5 to high. However, we booked for 5:30 entry and it was still daylight and have to have the children home at a certain time so they didn’t get to see the cool stuff come to life til we left. I understand it’s a wedding venue as I got married there at Christmas time. So we missed out on seeing the Palm house. Not spooky at all. Great for kids of all ages. Just wish the prices were lower so even the kids that come from low income families could enjoy it too.

I haven't been to the Franklin Park Conservatory for over 40 years and my girlfriend has never been so what better way to spend our one year anniversary than to spend a day enjoying all the beautiful sights and smells😊. It was better than I remembered! I was even better at night seeing the place lit up for the Pumpkins Aglow event. I was very romantic and the smiles she had was priceless 😍

My Granddaughter and her Fiancée were just Married here 11-8-25. The Franklin Park Conservatory is absolutely Beautiful for a wedding. Beautiful plants, Blown glass art, the people setting up, everything was perfect. The grounds are gorgeous for pictures, and just to walk around see topiary, plants, trees. Gorgeous place to visit, take pictures to take with family, etc.

We went to Pumpkins A'glow prior to Halloween as our first visit to the conservatory. Our family enjoyed the everything inside and out. The detail and variety was amazing. We will definitely be going back for more events.

This was a great little excursion while in Columbus. The Flora is beautiful and the chihuli glass is incredible. It doesn’t take up your whole day to tour and I was happy with the amount to see.

I Had A Wonderful Time At The Pumpkin Aglow! The Displays Were Beautiful, The Atmosphere Was Magical, And The Whole Experience Felt Unforgettable. I Can’t Wait To See What The Franklin Conservatory Has In Store For Christmas 🥰I Just Know It’s Going To Be Amazing!

My first time here. Cool place to get a nice view of the city. I stopped at a good time while there was a fair going on and got to see the tractor pull from the top.

Beautiful park we came upon by accident heading out of town. So glad we did. Walked the trail up to the most amazing view of Lancaster. If we lived here, this would be my go to spot.

I always enjoy going to Rising Park either alone, with friends, or with family. It has a quaint charm. Also, the views from Mt. Pleasant are breathtaking.

I love this park, it's super well located, it's always very well maintained and the view from the mountain is incredible, you can come with your pets, highly recommended for a great family weekend plan.

Great little park. Fabulous northwest view from Lancaster. Only hiked to the lookout and admired the lake, fountain, and friends

The climb isn't terribly difficult, but the view is great. It's the perfect place to roar like a majestic lion and let out all the frustrations of life.

Beautiful views great park very peaceful the hike to the top is not easy but worth it

I have visited north market to get some dinner when I was in Columbus. I went there twice actually. They have a variety of food options to consider including Jeni’s ice cream! I got some pizza and some ice cream during one visit and enjoyed the food! Specifically the ice cream! On my next visit, I got food from Hoyo’s and it was very tasty too! There is an eating area one floor above with lots of chairs and tables. It closes at 7 PM (when I went there in August), so I had to check the timing a little carefully. It was easily accessible from my hotel by walk.

What a fantastic place! So much good food! A lovely jewelry vendor, flowers, oils, cheese! Was our first time visiting and we will be back. Nice and close parking garage. Be sure to get your receipt for parking garage from the vendor you buy from. This is good for one hour of parking. Highly recommend North Market for a bite to eat and some local shopping.

If I could leave a higher rating i definitely would. I went there with my boyfriend for the first time and my eyes immediately lit up! The food looked absolutely amazing, the pricing was way better than I had expected. The wait time for the food wasn’t nearly as long as I had anticipated. I will definitely be going back as many times as I’m able! I recommend the Birria tacos, 3 tacos for $14! As a bonus you are able to sit and overlook the whole place!

First time here; quaint little place downtown. Great for new finds of food, coffees, oils / spices, desserts. Has a variety of cuisines, there is something for everyone. Seating indoor and outdoor, perfect for a lazy weekend or to meet with friends. Parking validation offered from one of the vendors I purchased from but didn’t accept when leaving garage. This would be the only downside - which could have been a fluke. Can’t wait to go back!

Great foodie fun stop. Shocker on this visit was the Philly Cheese Steak and Buckeye Crepe plus strawberry. The barbecue and dumplings were solid runners up. If you're bargain hunting get some fresh fries at the cheese steak shop and a slice of pizza. - otherwise prepare to spend $15-$20 Puerto item. The good is grood, but the swipes add up quickly. If you're patient you can find street parking within a block or two for cheap vs garage parking at special event prices.

Neat market and my group enjoyed the time they had here very much. Good food. Tables were a little hard to source over lunch. I will be back.

Love this market! So many choices for food, or gifts, or whatever you crave. This reminds me of a European style market. Great place to grab a quick bite.

Excellent little museum that is very professionally run. I recommend this to anyone passively (or more) interested in history. Guides were great and the displays are well done and amazing!!!

The guided tour was outstanding the curator was extremely knowledgeable about the Sherman family history, the building and General Sherman. The house and grounds are very well kept and the furnishings were authentic to the period. I really enjoyed this tour and learned quite a bit regarding the history of the area and the Sherman family. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the early history of General Sherman.

Breathtakingly beautiful! This place is a must visit if you are interested in the American Civil War. Not only is it an excellent example of a 19th century home, but the childhood home of the "man who made Georgia howl"! (that's the state, not his wife; her name was Eleanor) 😁 There is an excellent display of items relating to the Civil War wonderfully displayed. The tour folks were friendly and knowledgeable.

Wonderful place to visit. Very friendly and informative staff. We had a great experience and learned a lot. Thank you from the Kramer's from Wisconsin to the Sherman House Staff for sharing your time and knowledge with us.

Small museum but I learned so much! Sherman is my fav General and I loved visiting the home where he spent the first seven years of his life. The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. I will de go back!

Wonderful little museum full of so much interesting history! The ladies working when I visited were also great - so friendly and informative! This museum is a must-see for any history lover 🙂

The house is utterly beautiful as is the surrounding neighborhood. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Parking is available on the street on a busy highway. After your tour take some time to see the neighborhood.

The visit was amazing! We visited for the Unofficial Galaxies event since we are huge Star Wars fans. The event was spectacular with a ton of really insane exhibits that were mostly fan made. We were absolutely thrilled to see all of the handmade items and pieces from the films. We recommend buying tickets in advance. Also the military discount here is only $2 but still worth it.

Pixar was worth it for us. Our kids from 8-16 had a blast getting drawn into the animation process for at least 90 minutes then spent another couple of hours exploring, playing and creating. The older kids had been to Cosi before but had a genuinely good time taking it all in again, they also thoroughly enjoyed shocking each other in the energy section. Even some of the discovery and play areas were surprisingly fun and interesting.

Coming from out of town, looking to kill some time, it did not disappoint!Cool science center. There were tons of day camp kids running wild, but that can be expected on a weekday morning in the summer. Very cool hands on stuff for kids. The natural history exhibits were cool, along with the Town of Progress exhibit. Would definitely recommend if you are in the Columbus area.

I don’t see many reviews talking about amazing the little kids area upstairs is! 1st grade and under I believe was the age range. My kiddos will spend hours just in that area alone. Dramatic play , water play, art room, wooden train /soft play, and play construction vehicles . Find on street parking for a cheaper rate than the garage.

Wow! Just a beautiful place to take the family. The exhibits are amazing. Every time we go the Dinosaur exhibit just keeps on expanding. Just truly an amazing place and I myself learn so much. Highly recommend going especially when they change out the featured exhibits.

This place is so worth it. For only $30 bucks we got over 3 hours of fun and useful information about the world we live in. We visited the planetarium twice for two films that were incredible and at no extra charge. You definitely can make a whole days worth out of this museum. I also enjoyed that it’s not only child oriented but also includes stuff for adults to do. Also don’t forget to check out the shows they do during the day. We got to see rats play basketball! My one and only complaint about this place is I wish there were more cool shirts in the gift shop for adults! (All the cool ones are for the kids)

I finally made it here after knowing about it for more than 20 years and it was totally worth it. I teared up a little when I first walked i to the dinosaur room. Seriously so amazing to see. And I was in awe of the beauty in the Poseidon room. I think that might have been my favorite. An incredible experience for sure. Absolutely worth a visit!

I've been to Slate run many times, with and without my family. It has been an enjoyable experience until this visit. Our family decided to go to get our holiday photos for a card. The kids sat on fences and in front of barns. The big work horses were brought out and the site volunteer mocked is for being on the hog fence, as we were going to get manure on us. There wasn't any manure near and no signs to let us know to avoid this particular fence. It was done for a laugh from the small audience watching the horses. The volunteer ruined the morning for my kids who were very embarrassed and wanted to immediately leave. Shame on you and your assinine behavior to children.

Such a cute family experience! The male farmer was very kind and asked us if we had any questions and told us a little about his job. We couldn’t access the pig area due to it being overrun with a hornets nest but we peaked inside. They display a lot of neat old farm equipment. Everything has signage if necessary and it’s very well maintained.

I think the first time I visited the working historical farm was in 1989. It is a true gem and Ohio treasure! It's a self guided tour while volunteers work the many aspects of the farm! All buildings (there are a LOT) are marked and you can follow the map. There is an alphabetized map for kids (as and adults) and so much to see and learn. No two days are the same! Plenty of parking and new restrooms! The work horses were being used today! So very much to see and it's very much like stepping back in time! In addition, I cannot say enough good things about the farm manager Ann, and her entire staff!! They work very hard physically and they are a wealth of information of how farms operated over a century ago. Kudos to all and thank you for allowing future generations to get a priceless look back in time!!

What a wonderful place this is! My daughter and I truly enjoyed the opportunity to step back into history and learn about the 1880s farm life. It brought me a lot of nostalgia when I remembered my Grandmother and Grandfather's farm from when I was a little girl. It was a lot like this farm. They have many hands on interactive learning areas that my daughter loved especially. Definitely worth the trip! We will be going back in the spring to see the planting season.

Truly a peaceful and wonderful experience that really reminds you to slow down and experience everything. Such a beautiful place.

This is a very “real” working farm, filled with tons of opportunities to learn and explore, from the orchard to the smoke house and root cellar, to the barn and main house filled with period pieces. This is a great place for kids to get hands on experience with some farm animals. One note: the park employees in this area are in historical dress, but are not historical actors/interpreters. That said - they were very friendly and filled with great info!

We’ve been visiting here almost every weekend this summer. My 2 years old loves it! Great place for the little ones, good to show them what was the farm life looked like. Nice staffs as well!

Love this place. I come here a few times a week to paddle board. On the smaller side, but very clean. We always see turtles, birds, and fish. The rangers are very involved and seem like they truly care about your safety.

This park has the best rangers! Very east to talk with and ask questions. Taking the kids to this park now for over 20 yard and seeing it grow into such a beautiful reserve for our community. There are events all the time to check out for all ages. There is a lot of construction going on.

Beautiful park - but the experience is ruined by all the off leash untrained dogs that will harass you while walking. And of course the dog poop thoughout the trails. At least I hope it's dog poop hard telling this close to Columbus.

Amazing park! The trails are easy to follow, and you can really customize how far or long you want to walk. Great for dogs. Awesome sunset views! It's definitely worth the trip. I find it best to park by the dog park area instead of the main, but that's just personal preference.

Beautiful trails with lots of things to see! Perfect place to go for a walk, run or jog and even bring the dog.

Great dog-friendly trails 👍. Be mindful of the trails marked for no pets and pedestrians as those are for horses 🐴.

Nice park. There's a great dog beach where dogs can swim without a leash. There are plenty of walking trails and fun equipment for kids. Fishing seems to be popular. Trying to find the dog beach, fishing or anywhere else, however, is a struggle since there is poor signage. If there is more than one entrance to the park that do not join the other parcels, there should be large signs on the main roads directing traffic to each entrance and available activities. The State Parks do a great job with their signage. Their's are easy to navigate. And we can't always rely on cell service for directions or the park paper map. There are so many things that Prairie Oaks has to offer. Don't let us miss any of it, because we can't find it.
