Fantastic wines! Whatever your preferred taste, you will find it here. We love their dry whites and reds, but if you prefer sweet wines they have that too. The Riesling is wonderful, as is the Grüner Veltliner. Also, don’t miss the Bayou Blanc! An amazing collaboration with Voodoo Brewery that has a fantastic hoppy nose. The staff is the best! Lori, Chris and Geri made us feel right at home.

My wife and I are Brazilian and we had the honor of finding a silver wine that pays homage Brazilian word "Saudade". SAUDADE means “the grateful memory of someone, some moment or something”, As for the taste of the wine, it is exceptional! Truly excellent!

Very negative experience with purchase of wine making supplies from them. I placed 2 online orders in July. Received a small portion of supplies by mail. Never received most of the supplies, including tester ($605.99), testing kit ($95.99) and some more and for 2 months I am trying to get a refund from them. Do not ever buy from them. Very irresponsible people. They don't care about even checking what they shipped, what they didn't. Ignoring customers is their attitude.

The people are so nice, friendly, and helpful - Sam and Lori are awesome. Their Eskimo ice wine and Blushing Heron (concord + Niarlgra blend) were so delicious. I ordered a few bottles.

Great little winery. Really enjoyed the wine selection. Staff was very knowledge on the selection of wines. I enjoyed tasting the pepper wine very unique

Do not buy from this company! We ordered grape skins about a year ago, we paid for the order online in full and then were informed the product was on back order. After we paid. Months went by and we were told it was still on back order. Last spring we called and asked for a refund, they told us they would mail a check. Weeks went by, we called a couple more times, check is in the mail. By midsummer without a refund we called again for a refund. This time the same person claimed they had no record of our transaction! We talked to her a dozen times! So they basically stole over $200 from us. Do not order anything! Horrible!

Don't order from this place!!! I have been holding off on a review for almost a year now. That's how long I have been waiting for a $200 refund on a product I paid for and they never provided. To this date I am still waiting. No one returns calls, no one knows how to issue a refund, no one is taking responsibility for stealing my money. Bad business! Bad customer service! I will post this everywhere.

I can remember reading about Col Drake as a child, so when a road trip took us near the attraction, we chose to visit. My GPS took us through 25 minutes of dirt and gravel roads teaming with deer and wildlife with summer storms threatening. When we reached the park, we found a beautiful pastoral scene with nicely maintained grounds and buildings. Pieces of antiquated machinery litter the area. Entrance is thru the museum shop and adjacent restrooms. There are plentiful paper maps and guides as well as several large displays outside. We were pressed for time, so we went first to the recreation of the first well with fully operational steam driven pumps. The young man running the equipment was energetic and enthusiastic and did a very nice job. We then went to the Visitor Center and Museum. A lovely facility with beautifully curated artifacts and explanations. The volunteers were helpful throughout. There were enough hands-on exhibits to entertain young visitors. This was a great stop that would take 3-4 hours to do it justice. A few miles away, there is an associated historical site called "Pithole." A ghost town today, in its time it was at the heart of the world's transition to oil. And for the football fans, you will run across the name Heisman if you are careful.

The outside portion of the museum is awesome. Lots of cool old oil field equipment to see. The inside is good, but it would have been neat if they had an old oil rig inside to crawl around and see the real ins and out. Definitely worth a visit.

Very nicely updated museum! Great insight into an important period of history in Penna, and the US for that matter.

Very cool and informative place to visit! No fee if you visit on Monday or Tuesday

I have been here a few times. It’s tucked away just outside of the main hub of Titusville. It’s inside of a gorgeous area also. So picturesque with oil creek along with trails and the tracks in the back drop. You start at the gift shop to enter and buy tickets to see the park with relics from Drakes original well. They still have it set up in a replica format I do believe and it even speed a little oil for show. It’s no longer in operation currently. The museum itself is super modern and clean. There is a ton of history on Drakes well and the oil book in general. Since the commercialization of oil started here, it makes sense to mark this area with a park and museum. It’s perfectly done in my opinion. The staff in all of the areas were so nice and very knowledgeable.

Wonderful museum. Great introduction movie and live demonstrations. Interactive museum and informative staff. Glad we stopped

Very nice Musium, very interesting learned a lot about the oil industry.

No place to wash off. Decent bar, a little bit of food, great dock, super good people, good swimming area for kids.

Glad to see they reopened it! Water park is nice/updated....rides and buildings need some updating and work. Beach and boardwalk is cute. Looks just like an old street carnival. Don't expect big amusement park because that's not what this is. You have to be ready to step back in time....the rides are oldies but goodies. $18 all day pass...or $10 just for water park. Food prices range from about $3-$5 an item. Small food booths scattered throughout park. Roads and walkways need fixed and patched. Hotel looked interesting, didn't stay though. Definitely a decent inexpensive day trip.

One of the oldest amusement parks in the country. Quiet charm with great fun for the little ones and a great little water park to go with the lake. A Tiki bar on the beach to keep the adults "happy" too! Very inexpensive and a blast from the past!

This park is a throw back to the past. It has definitely seen better days. But if you like nostalgia this is the place to go. The old wooden roller coaster, the Blue Streak, is still in operation. As well as Tilt-a-Whirl. All the rides are like my childhood experience of the 1950's at Summit Beach in Akron, Ohio. But be aware the website shows it as open and it is NOT open due to Covid. Hopefully it will be open in 2021.

Conneaut Park is really shaping up to be an amazing place. The difference between the appearance of the rides last year vs this year is remarkable. They cleaned, re-paved, and repainted so much of the park. This park is really going to make a huge comeback and I'm truly excited to see it. We accidentally stumbled upon this park and have gone back every year since. Love it!

This 1892 park is in the midst of a reboot after long periods of dormancy and in terms of value it delivers. First of all, it is small. You will not go home aching after spending 8 hours dying in the heat. There is lots of shade under old trees. Parking is free, entering the park is free, the beach (on which alcohol is permitted) is free. There are two parts; a water park consisting of a lazy river, water slides, and pool with splash pad apparatuses and a amusement park section. A pass to the water park is $10 and an all ride pass is $10. On the second Sunday of the month, on which my visit fell, the ride pass is $5. There are only a handful of adult rides, including the 1938 Blue Streak wooden coaster, and so my wife and I did not get ride passes. The park is best suited for young families, offering an extensive kiddie land on which my 19-month old daughter was able to ride almost all of the rides as long as she was with her sister. I have never been to a park on which she could ride anything. In all, I spent a day with my wife and 2 children riding rides, swimming in the lake, and left having spent $5. My local pool is $10 to get in. Oh yes, and did I mention the beach and lake? Its beautiful. Overall, this park, which is essentially built into the town, is well worth a trip and practically asks you to give it money to continue its growth. It is also a great day trip spot for couples as the historic haunted Hotel Connecticut sits on the lake only a stones-throw away, lake sports are everywhere, and Meadville, in which resides Voodoo Brewing, is a short drive away. My only minor disappoint was the swim area, which is surrounded by a metal dock and really is a blow to the aesthetics of the lake. Other than that, I will be back soon.

To long to get on rides and get food 12 Aug 2018. Update 19 Aug 2022 on 12 Aug 2018 I took my husband to park for his birthday lines to get on rides and get food we're so long. We only got to ride 2 rides. Today I went up because their was suppose to be a rib feast at park. most of the park has been tore down. Even parking lot across the street is partly gone .now a Dollar General is now taking up half the parking lot. They are building new houses along the beach area where park use to be. The empty dirt areas is where rides and midway use to be. There even sign at front where entrance use to be saying keep out) . Where the tents are in pictures is where the water section use to be and big ferris wheel few other rides were. The following photos are from today 19 Aug 2022. ( They were having a rib feast in old park) pretty much no one was there probably because you can't see it from road there was no signs pointing to road you needed to go down to get to back of old park. At front of park from road the park has chain fence and 2 signs saying keep out . Road beside chain fence that goes back to back of park that is tore down and goes to the new house they are building there.you can no longer get to hotel from park they put up big chain link fence around most of old park. If it wasn't for the old parking lot sign you would never know there was park there.

Something won't see everywhere and something you likely won't forget... thousands of carp being fed loaves of bread. Geese were swimming nearby along with seagulls trying to get a piece of bread thrown their way too. There are also many paved and dirt trails throughout the park which stretches across the border between Pennsylvania and Ohio. The weather was fantastic during our visit so we had a great time enjoying the area. Definitely recommend.

Have been coming here since I was a little kid. Back then this place didn’t have half of what they have here now. You used to have to walk down a path to get to the water. And even though they fish had a big die off within the last handful or more years, it’s still always fun to stop here when in the area. Love feeding the fish. The birds are pretty cool too.

It used to be ok now it's overwhelming. When we were there the water was so full of bread that nothing was eating it. The fact that fish,ducks,& birds are not to eat bread, but yet is all they provide kinda seems wrong and concerning. As to the welfare of the animals, it seems not to be important or a concern. As for the actual spillway, I think it should be monitored so everyone can see it. People have no respect for others and stand there long periods and take up the opportunity for others to see & watch. Not to mention, the spillway area is not very big to begin with. We couldn't even get close to see it when we were there. I like to see that area redesigned and more accessible for more people. I'd like a viewing platform installed on the other side of the spillway across from the one there now to allow for more viewing access. I'd love to see better food options available that are suitable for the animals that are there. No more bread get fish food, peas, seeds, grains, and actual food for the animals.

This place never gets old and a beautiful and fun place to bring you kids as well as entertain them especially when all the fish jump on top of each other fighting over the same piece of bread. When the bread runs out they have a beautiful and shaded picnic area that is great for cooking out on the BBQ grill. The souvenir shop is quaint and has a variety of gadgets and memorabilia to purchase and camaraderie your joyful vist. Their soft serve ice cream is thick and custard textured which melts on the slow side allowing you to enjoy your cone!! The soft serve bowls are delicious but hard as a rock where you have to wait for it to start melting in order to even get a spoon in , in order to take that deliciousness first bite! This is ALWAYS a highlight of our summer vacation and enjoy Year after year coming out to watch the ducks walk on fish!!

From Gotham, a knight, it is true, Fed fish, then watched bikes roar through. The sound filled the air, Beyond all compare, A symphony for Aquaman's crew!

The kids loved feeding the fish and birds . You can get food there or bring your own.

Fun place to visit with or without kids.. They sell bread there a $1 to feed them. Have always enjoyed this place..

If you love old cars and old motorcycles and you need to get to the National Packard Museum before the motorcycles go away for a year. If you just love cars, well, then you still got to get there. Because it's a great place to go see old cars and memorabilia, and it's got some nice old engines and some history that's just amazing.

nice and polite man and woman that was there cost is 10.00 a person you can leave a donation they have shirts ,hoodes . the woman told me about the museum where the vehicles were m ade from and the motor cycles . from warren

Super friendly staff who allowed me to enter and tour the museum even though they were busy setting up for an event. Great collection of vintage steel and memorabilia! If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by for a visit.

Never been there before. Had a motorcycle exhibition going on too. Never seen so many Packard cars. Worth while going if you like things like that.

Very interesting little museum all about the history of the Packard Car Company. The two women docents were very helpful and knowledgeable. If you’re passing through the area , it’s a nice stop to break up a drive.

Really cool place to spend an hour or two walking around looking at all the history our area had to offer. I see now why Jay Leno visits often.

The National Packard Museum is a great place to learn about the Packard family, businesses, and local history. I learned a lot about this that I didn't know before. It was very interesting to see the vintage automobiles and other products that were made in Warren. I also enjoyed seeing the beautiful cars that Packard produced in the 1920's to the 1950's.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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 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

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.

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

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.

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!

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!!

Listen here’s the deal and there no foolin if you take if you. Look here’s the deal. Look. Okay wait okay listen if you okay wait. Sorry I’m. Just gathering my thoughts and such. Okay if you go if you okay if you go okay. Y’know what nvm

Great mini trip with friends on a one night stay over…. Sample the wonderful restaurants and seem some of the sights in Wooster…. Plays are great, some very talented people on display!

Great show, not a bad seat in the house. Wonderful cast. Ushers were very helpful

Wonderful showing of Carousel. The music was excellent and dancing was superb!

Every show we've attended has been worthwhile. The acting is good, and the singing is always excellent. The seating is comfortable and you're never far from the stage.

The shows are fantastic and highly professional. We have seen some shows twice.

Great,fun performance of "Patience"!

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.

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.

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.

Love this place. They have quite a variety of cheese. Staff is very friendly. Prices are reasonable. They also have a great collection of jellies, jams, sauces, dips… Found some great Christmas gifts for the grand babies

Take a cooler bag if traveling because you will want everything! My daughter and I randomly stopped while traveling to Medina. We split a cheese curd and mozzarella stick from the cafe. There is so much to see and the chocolate shop is definitely worth stopping at to taste. The man making woven baskets has an incredible talent but bring cash. He doesn't take plastic. I will be back for a basket and some dips and cheese! Highly recommend stopping to explore and sample as much cheese as you want. ❤️

Just off the highway, this dual-store stop offers a delightful treat for both sweet and savory lovers. The sweets store boasts a tempting array of chocolates and candies, including a small selection of sugar-free options. Right next door, you'll find a fantastic cheese and meat shop, perfect for crafting a delicious picnic. With a pleasant rest area in between and friendly employees at both locations, it's an ideal place to refuel and relax on your journey.

What a great stop! You can sample almost anything! Aged cheeses are amazing! So many little gifts and gadgets. The sweet shop is wonderful too! The gold stickers mean it's made in house!

WOW! This place was as amazing as the reviews have said! Lots of varieties of all kinds of stuff, but in particular the cheeses and the fudge were just an amazing variety! Staff were all very professional and kind and very giving when it came to samples. That's the greatest experience!

We love Grandpa’s cheese barn! We try to make a stop every time we travel to Niagara Falls. The candy building is amazing! Yummy.

Super fun stop on a road trip. Samples upstairs are fantastic. Yummy sandwiches and sodas available for a quick lunch. Cheeses and other food products are high quality. Good place, not just a gimmicky tourist trap.

We hiked the 2 mile rim trail in the early afternoon and the shorter gorge trail later in the day close to 6 pm. I would consider the rim trail moderate difficulty but if you have any knee issues be mindful there are a lot of rock and steps to climb, but roots that will trip you up which makes it more strenuous. The vista views on the rim were amazing and you really appreciate the height if you do the gorge trail after. It was a lovely woodsy hike and a small doe was eating nearby. The gorge trail was stunning especially when the sun is going down. It’s a super easy walk perfect for families.

This is a great hike in the Hocking Hills region. The main trail though the gorge is wheelchair accessible, except for the final part to the waterfall. There was definitely a small crowd, so don't expect to feel isolated. The hike around the gorge is also great! Some very incredible views. The fall foliage was amazing. There is an old CCC cabin just over halfway through the trail, which was cool. There are numerous displays that explain the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the region.

A fantastic preserve. The gorge trail is absolutely beautiful. There are many wondrous natural features to see. The trail is nearly fully accessible. The final section to the falls is an easy and very short hike. Definitely make time for this one if you are in the area. We did not hike the Rim Trail.

We took the lower, easier trail with a 7, 5, 4, and 2 two year olds. It was a very nice and easy trail most of the way back. At some point it goes from paved to not paved. That was a little more challenging with the younger kids, but so worth it at the end. It is very flat with beautiful scenery. I highly recommend to everyone looking for something doable with children. Just beware about 80% of the way it changes.

The rim trail, at a moderate 2 1/2 miles, is lovely. It starts with SEVERAL steps straight up, with a couple landings to rest. The scenery is beautiful, however we were there after a lot wind over night, that blew down a lot of the colorful leaves. Still it was a beautiful hike. Highly recommended. They also have 1/2 mile wheelchair accessible trail that runs down the middle of the gorge.

Complete trail completed in about 2 hours. Younger hikers would probably take less time. Hiking boots or shoes that can grip recommended. Many steps to get to top and some dirt trail that can be slippery on the way down. Since August is dryer month there were no water falls visible. Views are wonderful. Make sure to turn around to see the views behind you. I would not recommend taking little children as there are many non guarded drop offs.

This was 2nd time visiting. The walk through the gorge is really easy, paved most of the way. I have not done the upper rim hike. It is a nice walk, totally recommended if you are in the area.

Polaris is the only good indoor mall in Columbus. It’s a great place to beat the weather and shop comfortably. It’s well maintained and is fully occupied with a diversity of stores and restaurants. There’s a cool play area for kids and a small food court. The only negative that I noticed is the oddly located and small bathroom facilities.

Well kept up mall with almost all the store spaces filled and a bustling environment. Easy to shop.

Posh mall. Lots of cute and neat stores for everyone! Spacious and the parking is plenty, too.

Such nice people and workers! Food court was awesome, but most of all the stores and atmosphere. Such a fun place to be in!

Pretty awesome mall. My daughter has fun there.

Awesome mall 👏 been coming here for years and it’s just as nice of a mall as the first day it opened. They have events and stuff they throw that are AWESOME!! Like this week is a free signature from a professional Hockey 🏒 Player !!! NHL player signing pictures free 🆓

Decent indoor shopping mall with major retailers like Macy’s, JCPenney, Saks, Apple, Dick’s Sports, and others. There is a volleyball training place (?) as well. They have a nice food court with a good variety of food options (Popeye’s chicken coming soon). The mall has a very relaxed vibe which I enjoy. Plenty of parking spaces.

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!

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!

The Hopewell Culture and Visitor Center is a smaller center. It does have some souvenirs and you can get your passport stamps here. There is a slight walkthrough in the center to see all the different Earth mounds and a video to watch. They also have all of the different flags for the Indian Nations and a small description for each. You can then walk out of the back of the Visitor Center when done looking at the displays. You will immediately see the mounds as soon as you walk out. You're also able to walk around the entire area.

What an incredible historical site! A great little museum/history center of the Hopewell culture as well as local life through the years. The building is completely handicapped accessible, and it's mostly a flat grassy area for the rest of the place. Give yourself about an hour. Worth a visit!

Everyone should come enjoy this small national park! You won't spend an awful lot of time here, so it's even good for kids. The workers at the information desk are friendly and have lots of information and pamphlets to give you. There are many mounds here, and some of them have information signs explaining their significance. There's plenty of parking and clean restrooms here.

This park is really impressive. The mounds are amazing. There is a small visitors center with video and a gift shop. There are trails outside with different information boards to read. I have very limited mobility and get around on an electric scooter. I could go as far as the sidewalk. They did have an off road wheel chair that you can borrow to go on the trails. That was really nice to see.

This was my first visit to this National Historic Park area. Excellent presentation of indigenous (native) peoples ingenuity and sophisticated culture before the Europeans arrived. The Mound City group is just one of several sites in the newly designated World Cultural Heritage area. Make sure you see this and the other sites to truly experience the mounds and other earthworks of the Hopewell culture that flourished in the central and southern Ohio landscape.

I stopped by her after visiting Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers. This place has a lot of hidden history going back 2000 uests. Thete are 22 mounds here of differemt sizes and some of different shapes. When here walk the signage trail ti the river and read all the signs. The place is free.

Visited 7/11/23 The National Park Service manages several Hopewell mound sites in the Chillicothe area. The Hopewell Culture National Historical Park's visitor center is located at Mound City Group and is the only site that has a full facility with a museum, gift store, restrooms and helpful rangers. Despite this site's name "Mound City Group", this site was not a residential area but rather a burial and ceremonial ground. Anyone fascinated with ancient mounds and earthworks needs to visit this site. And if your travel plans include seeing all the earthworks in the Chillicothe area, see this one first to give you a better understanding of what you will be seeing at some of the other sites where the earthworks no longer exist but are only outlined by mowing the grass on the ground where they once stood. The museum and park rangers will also provide valuable information about the people who created and utilized these structures. We arrived around 3pm and were told that we could join a ranger led tour that started shortly after. Ranger Sue was so informative! I learned so much!

My 9 year old daughter and I toured the house and museum today. Quoting my daughter, "I LOVED it!" The grounds are beautiful, the house is so well preserved and the museum is interactive. Our tour guide was fantastic and really knowledgeable yet even kept a 9 year olds attention for an hour and half. Great place to check out to learn more about Ohio's early history.

Nice visitor center with artifacts and great information on the history of the house and land. Tour guide was nice and very knowledgeable. Wish the garden area and grounds had been more kept up but they were working on it.

Disappointing experience. I was so pumped to see a key piece of Ohio history, but I knew something was up when I saw a handful of people standing outside the visitor center. I looked through the doors to see that it was locked due to giving a guided tour, and a note said they'd be back soon (not a set time). I wonder if it was ultimately due to staffing issues After giving it some time, it was clear that I could not tour the mansion in my allotted timeframe, so I drove to the overlook, took in the Great Seal, and left. For such an important part of our state's history, this is unacceptable and the people of Ohio deserve better.

I toured this with a group. It was lovely. Beautiful! The tour was a lot of walking and stairs. It was worth it, but gosh.

Wonderful visitor center with child friendly museum exhibits and clean restrooms greet you at Adena. The mansion tour is extremely interesting with the history of the Worthington family, several Ohio governors, two American presidents, and the Shawnee war chief Tecumseh interwoven with the history of the collections and the mansions architects and builders.

Our tour guide Brittany was so helpful and informative! Made our trip so enjoyable.

Took a mini vaca this week while kids were on fall break and went to hocking hills. Stayed in the Marriott in Chillicothe. During our stay the hotel worker suggested we check out this place. Didn’t really know anything about this place or that it even existed so we took the suggestion and went not really knowing what to expect. We went on Thursday. So glad we did! The tour was excellent and we learned so much that we didn’t really know before. Just being on the grounds that significant historical figures like Tecumseh once graced with their presence is something else! I came not really knowing who Thomas Worthington was and left knowing a whole lot more! Of course I had heard of Tecumseh and just knowing he stayed here is reason enough to come! Much of the house is original including much of the floors and the pave stones outside. They have a museum with the actual peace pipe tomahawk Tecumseh gave to Worthington as a symbol of peace, which is really cool! So you do timed guided tours and fyi the last tour before lunch is 11:30 and then tours resume at 1:30. I got there right at 11:30 and had to wait until 1:30. That’s ok because there are things you do on your own like explore the museum, barn, garden, so we were able to fill the time. They don’t have food except a couple snack items in gift shop so don’t come hungry. The tour guide was great and very informative and gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Beware that the house is very cold. Wear long sleeves or layers. They are unable to change the temperature. Didn’t really get a clear cut answer why the house is so cold other than that it’s cold and they can’t change the temperature. I asked if it’s haunted but the tour guide swears it’s not. Hmmmmm….. Either way this is a great little day thing to do with your kids and family, friends, or even alone and gives you the opportunity to step back in time!
