Wonderful atmosphere is an amazing and historical facility. Very comfortable and well appointed layout but somewhat limited on seating which is partially due to the pandemic. Staff is very attentive and well versed in their products. The wines are somewhat typical for Ohio wineries (mainly sweet to semi sweet hence the 4.0 rather than 5.0) but they have pulled in some different varietals for more sophisticated, spicier and slightly drier tastes. Recommend this winery for a relaxing experience. Will definitely return.

Loved the history of the building! Great wine and great staff. Victoria was really friendly and knowledgeable about the building. Will definitely be back!

Nice place to visit on the Three River’s Wine Trail in southern Ohio. We decided to visit a couple of 8 wineries on the Trail. We were on our way home to Cleveland from Dayton area. One of the wineries on the trail was in Baltic, Ohio and an old flour mill. Cozy feel with all the original wood on the floors and the ceiling. We tried a flight so we could sample what they offered. We bought a couple bottles and enjoyed ourselves! Thanks

What a great gem in the heart of Baltic. A turn of the century flour mill turned into a winery. They offer handcrafted wine in a historical building that has features you will not see in today's architecture. Phenomenal woodwork on the inside dating back to the early century. They have a great selection of wine. The usual reds, your whites, and then they also have strawberry wine, and blackberry wine among others. They have flights of wine that give you tastings of your choice. Flights run roughly $10. A bottle of wine hovers in the $20 range give or tank depending on what you are drinking. Their wine is very tasty and flavorful with great aroma. They have a small menu of food. They have a fantastic meat and cheese plate. They also have a hummus and vegetable plate. If you want to go the meat route, they have pulled pork sliders. If you're really there to drink then grab a bottle of wine and some cheesecake. You can't go wrong. There is a very nice patio in front of the winery. Parking can be a little sparse if there are some activities going on in the area. You can go upstairs and take a look at all the old machinery they used when it was a flour mill. It is all still intact. The flour mill steam engine is still in the cellar where it was used years ago in the milling process. This is a very unique and really cool place to sit down and have a glass of vino. It is worth a trip to check this place out. If you're in the area step on by.

Baltic Mill provides a fantastic and unique environment. It takes you back to times gone by. In addition to the vintage venue is the opportunity to step back in time as you tour upstairs. The classic hardwoods throughout the building & the beautiful fireplace make you feel warm and comfortable. The patrons and the staff are always happy and friendly. Our favorite wine is the Buena Vista Sparkling Brut. We get it chilled & pair it with the best meat & cheese board we've had at any winery. Highly recommend!

Lesson learned . I hadn't been here in quite some time, but I've been reading reviews and thought I would try this wine again. I was looking for a Chardoney style wine. What I tasted was very different than what I brought home. I had the same experience a few years back with an Italian Red wine. I'm also a wine maker at home . What I tasted was a chardoney. What I brought home for $20.00 a bottle is EXACTLY what I make at home, with a little less sediment that I get in mine. If people like cheaply made wine, or just drink wine to get drunk then enjoy your $20.00 bottle of wine. It's a shame, because I always give a business the benefit of a doubt. This is not a wine drinkers winery

A unique find. Love the building and the area. Liked the architecture inside there wine 🍷 was very good, ended up purchasing a case 📦 🍇. Just a short drive from Sugarcreek if your in the area and want a change of pace. Will definitely be back.

The wine flight was incredible, loved the presentation. Pretzel bites were super tasty, great portion size and the honey mustard/cheese dips were also really nice. The Boozy Burger was well received and the fries were great. Nice portion size as well. The Walleye special was one of the worst things I have ever ordered. The crust was with walnut and parmesean perhaps potato also, lacked any real flavor though. It did not stick to the fish well, and fell apart. The fish, while huge, was bland and screaming for a sauce. The small sliver of lemon did not help. I also had a few fish bones while eating which further killed this dish for me. The sides though were very good carrots glazed with honey/garlic and smashed redskins. Overall great place for wine, large variety of wines, very picturesque, and has good food options.

We came here on a Baecation. My fiance and I were very pleased with the Easter buffet as well as the hospitality. The Strawberry Lemonade wine was the best. I have to give a HUUUGGGEEEE shout out to Steve the Director of Operations. He was phenomenal. And shoutout to Billie. She was great and made me the cutest drink. We WILL be back!!

Fantastic meal as always, wine is great! Tried the special red snapper- was awesome! Krissy was our server and she is always AMAZING! So kind, sweet and attentive!

Great winery with a large variety. The Strawberry Lemonade wine was nice and refreshing for summer. The bartender was awesome for making suggestions. They even have frozen slushy wines. I had the orange creamsicle which was refreshing on a hot summer day,

Love Raven’s Glenn! We’ve come here for years!! We always are happy we’ve come!! Krissy is our lovely little server! She goes out of her way to make every visit a sweet memory. There are several other wonderful servers, as well!! We love Steve who comes and sets down with us to talk about “things!” Awesome experience. Love the wine and the food! A favorite is a great salmon atop of a really nice Caesar Salad with lots of cheese, croutons and really big enough for two if you choose. Love the deck by the river when weather permits …it’s like being on vacation❤️

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wide selection of wines from dry to sweet, so you will likely find something you like. The dinner menu is also very good if your looking for a nice date in the area.

My 1st winery experience certainly did not disappoint. We stumbled across this gem by pure chance. The staff were extremely welcoming and exceptionally knowledgeable. We spent our afternoon with them sampling and learning about the different wines they produce on site. The views were amazing along with the food. The next time we venture up north, this will definitely be on our todo list. (Ashley was amazing!!!!! Pictured below)

Glass-tastic! We were expecting a quick little stop to look at some glass while we were in town, but were treated to an in-depth and personalized tour by one of the volunteers, Laura. We ended up spending about two hours there, and possibly could have stayed longer except we had other places to go, including a stop down the street for pie. The volunteers here are knowledgeable and excited to share, and if there is something you are particularly interested in (for me, that's uranium glass), they will point these things out on the tour. There are so many gorgeous colors and patterns of glass on display, mostly organized chronologically. The gift shop has an ever changing selection of original Cambridge Glass pieces, as well as a few postcards, and lots of books and guides to collecting art glass.

Visited on 10.11.2025. This is one of the best glass museums in the United States. Many of the pieces that are on display are unique and stunning! There are not enough words to describe the beauty of the items that are displayed throughout the museum. BRAVO and THANK YOU to Lindy and Cindy for their hospitality and to Laura for her enthusiastic and informative tour of the museum. Highly Recommend to anyone traveling through Cambridge, Ohio.

Was not expecting a full guided tour! The volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. I had no idea what Cambridge glass was before the tour but now I know the entire history. I normally find tours boring but I wasn’t bored at all. Def worth a visit!

Do not miss this museum! Incredible! It is small, but we still had a guided tour, which we would recommend as the tour guide, new facts and details that we would’ve missed.

I really enjoyed my experience here! It was slow, so I had a private guide named Lindy. I learned a lot about the production of the glass ware. The process is truly an art form. I was impressed by the amount of time it took to produce this beautiful art work. The history of the factory and the changes in the colored glass trends were very interesting. Worth the visit.

We have been coming to Cambridge for a number of years but have never been in this beautiful museum until today! DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR! It was one of the very best museum experiences we have ever had. We learned so much and the tour guides are very knowledgeable and made this tour fun. Made me wonder if I have any Cambridge glass in my cabinet! You can purchase beautiful glass items and take history home with you! We had a great time and are so glad we finally saw this gem of a place!

This place was awesome. I want to throw a shout out to Anna and Cindy for their thorough knowledge of the history of Cambridge Glass Company. This is truly American craftsmanship at its finest and its a shame they don't make glassware like that anymore. They answered all of my questions. I don't say this about a museum but i look forward to going back. I bought a few nice pieces of glass for my home. Definitely a worthwhile trip!!!

I stopped in here on a Thursday evening and it wasn’t busy at all. This is an unconventional restaurant where you order at the host stand and then when your food is ready they page you with a buzzer. I came here to try the pizza so that I what I got. Overall it was very good pizza. They have a large outdoor seating area which some excellent views. I would expect this place to be quite busy in the summer. I will note the prices were quite high in my opinion but the food was good. I would definitely return here.

What a breathtaking view! This is a super relaxing spot for outdoor dining and bird watching. Indoor tables are available. Pizza was freshly made. Wines are made from the grape arbors on the hillside. Wonderful view of the city below. Take binoculars!

This is the most beautiful space with the most beautiful views in the area. Very casual in terms of the food experience. A perfect place just to sit and chat and enjoy the views! Staff is very friendly.

I wanted to find a place that you could really spend some time in a beautiful setting and I found it here. Had a beer and studied for a test for a couple of hours. You can take a walk through the vineyard too if you fancy. Definitely most scenic bar in the area to my knowledge. Wonderful scenic overlook with a bounty of Adirondack chair seating.

I would give the outdoor atmosphere a 10 if I could. Beautiful views. Rachel, one of the staff, was very friendly and very helpful. This was our first time there. We were a little worried on our drive there as the scenery was industrial, but once we made the turn onto Georgetown road, it was all good. We got the Margherita pizza. Delicious. Seasoned very well.

Fantastic location to enjoy the view on the decks and patio, or cozy indoors. Pizza is solid and the staff have been engaging each time we have been there. We tend to make it a destination each time we visit Muskingum University.

Had a burger and chicken fingers - served in paper baskets. Baklava cheesecake served in a plastic to-go container from the fridge/cabinet. We ate in. Had some samples of wine (free with purchase) and had a glass of wine with dinner. The patio and view are beautiful (it was chilly while we were there). We stayed off-grid overnight as Harvest Host guests, which is a wonderful option. Sites were not very level for a class B, but okay and it was very peaceful and quiet.

The village is primarily a retail area of shops and cafe/bars with scattering of restored living history exhibits. The Visitor Center has a museum on the second floor with more retail items. Visiting out of season, there was plenty of parking. But in season I bet this place is a parking/traffic nightmare. Several of the visitor desks were un- manned. The one person manning the center was totally disinterested in engaging with us. We were treated like a nuisance. Not a good look for a public facing job. The price for tickets to the living history displays were reasonable. But could be pricey for a big family.

It's such a cute little historical village. Really enjoyed exploring the shops and cafes.

We enjoyed our visit. Learning the history of the town and the canals was very interesting. The tour was informative and the shops were fun to look through and all the shop owners/workers were helpful and friendly. Going on the canal ride was a fun and it has a gift shop and large parking lot. There is picnic areas near the main museum with a small shopping area and restrooms. The little shops were cute and informative some had people who dressed the part, gave demos and answered questions which was really nice others just had videos you pressed and though still imformative would have been nicer to have people. The only thing we were disappointed about was not being able to try activities, it would’ve been nice to try the broom weaving, or make some candle making or printing press etc having something hands on at some of the stops would make it better. The scavenger hunt available in the museum was fun for my son and I. Overall we had a great time and would absolutely come back for a nice stroll and a visit.

Lovely 1800s era canal town reenactment. They have costumes and themed enactments if you take the paid tour. Several events throughout the year. Especially loved the Christmas candle lighting. Very nice time for the whole family. Best food we had was at the Bear diner and at Roscoe BBQ.

The living history elements were very nicely done. Especially the shop with the brooms. Next level

I expected that the village would have live reenactors. However, only the blacksmith was there. Everyone else had been replaced by a soulless video. Ticket price: 13$ for an adult ticket is a bit too much, perhaps. Despite all this, we enjoyed the experience and were glad to have done it.

We enjoyed our short visit walking around the shops. We didn't but the tickets for the museum part of it so I can't comment on that. It was a nice place to visit for the afternoon. Love the different shops and the ambiance of the street. It was very peaceful and not a long distance to walk. I would suggest parking at the Welcome Center instead of on the street. Lots of information at the welcome center.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I really enjoyed it here but sadly felt the faded glory of Longaberger. The mini "amusement park" is excellent for photo, especially the huge apple basket. Gift shop is pricey but some discounted item is amazing (look for the discounted basket liner). Good choice for wedding if your family & friends are close by or don't mind a bit driving.

It's like a ghost town. There are some great discounts and deals, but if you are expecting more of an experience stay home and save yourself the disappointment.

I visited the homestead August 31, 2017. While the place isn't the same as the bustling 20 years ago, it's so worth a visit. The wares are still gorgeous and hand crafted in this age of throw away junk. I made a basket with Michelle and it was a fantastic experience. Go with an open mind to change and you won't be disappointed. I do suggest you eat first, there is limited choices for food in the area.

While this place may not be "what it used to be", it is definitely worth a visit and worth our support. What an excellent showcase of the work of American craftsmen (and women)! The staff were so friendly, Lisa at the Make-a-Basket was so helpful and knowledgeable, and the pizza at J. R.'s Terrace was delicious - homemade crust and sauce. We will definitely be back, but in the meantime, will treasure this memory and the beautiful baskets we'll take with us.

No new products offered, was really disappointed, we were the only people in the entire building other than maybe 3 employees. Not the shining star it was a few years ago when it would take hours to go through the homestead main store. Very disappointing after driving 4.5 hours for nothing. Please update the web page to give an accurate description of what is now the reality.

It was okay if I was not near the place I probably would not of stopped. Definitely was not what it was bragged up to be. When you hear the name Longanberger you think nice it was kind of a disappointment from the ruts in the parking lots to where you enter then you go to another building to shop. Staff was pleasant and was helpful.

They have a museum and a big store with baskets and also handmade crafts to help the local community. They also offer store tours and great discounts. The iconic basket building from Newark was replaced for one a little bit shorter but its still nice to go there as a touristic attraction.

The only bridge like it in the World. Initially built in 1914 the Y shape was created to allow traffic heading East across the bridge to go either North or South as heading straight on would involve driving straight into a mountain. Aviators use this bridge for a reference point and famed pilot Amelia Earhart said it was the most recognizable city in America. This is a fifth generation bridge with the first being a trestle bridge and then a covered bridge. Before traffic lights were invented a traffic officer would be stationed in the center of the Y to direct traffic. It was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records and on the National Register of Historic Places.

Only Y Bridge in the world. Had to drive it and take a walk. The water moves very swiftly over the dam and under the bridge. Love the impressive light poles. It looks good on the city of Zaynesville how well they have preserved this historic asset.

Crossing the Y Bridge is a novel experience, both amusing and impressive at the same time. I have read that Amelia Earhart once remarked that it made Zanesville the most easily recognized city in the US from a pilot's point of view. Where else can you tell someone to drive to the middle of the bridge and turn left?

My hometown. I brag about the y bridge and Amelia erheart connection. Lovely for raising a family.

Awesome structure of a bridge. The 'Circle of Vases' or 'Vasehenge' was a bonus find down from the bridge - west main street and north pine!

It's pretty bad when an 18-wheeler backs up to the docks that the dog food place they blocked the road for a half hour that's bullshit

Very interesting and beautiful design. It has some very interesting history as well.

We are on a mission to see all of Ohio's "World's Largest" and this one is probably the main one Ohio is known for. It was much bigger than I expected and quite a sight to see. It is easy to get to off the highway and a good place for a photo op. Very cool to finally see this in person.

This is a fun little stop to make every year or so for pictures. I'm not sure if the building is even open anymore but the grounds still seem to be decently kept up.

The Basket Building in Ohio is a true testament to architectural creativity and imagination. This unique structure, shaped like an enormous woven basket, is a delightful blend of artistry and functionality. From the moment you lay eyes on it, you are transported into a whimsical world that sparks wonder and awe. As you approach the Basket Building, its distinctive shape stands out against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every curve and pattern carefully crafted to mimic the intricacies of a woven basket. It is a visual marvel that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, making it an architectural gem. Stepping inside the Basket Building, you are greeted with an interior that matches the exterior's enchantment. The spacious atrium fills the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The use of organic materials and earthy tones further enhances the building's connection to nature, adding to the overall ambiance of tranquility and harmony. What sets the Basket Building apart is the seamless integration of functionality and aesthetics. The architects have ingeniously designed a space that not only pleases the eye but also serves its purpose. The interior layout is practical and efficient, allowing for smooth movement and functionality while still maintaining the building's whimsical charm. As you explore the corridors of the Basket Building, you can't help but appreciate the meticulous attention to detail evident in every corner. From the intricate ceiling patterns to the carefully chosen furnishings, every element contributes to the overall cohesiveness of the design. It's a delight for architecture enthusiasts and a source of inspiration for anyone with a creative mind. Visiting the Basket Building is an experience that transports you to a world of imagination and wonder. It goes beyond being just a building; it is a work of art that evokes emotions and stimulates the senses. Whether you appreciate architecture or simply want to immerse yourself in something extraordinary, the Basket Building is a must-see destination.

This building used to be the Longaberger basket company in Newark, Ohio. It was built to resemble a picnic basket. The business closed some years ago, but the building is still a city landmark.

Beautiful building! You must see it.

Well it's abandoned and it's a world record so you get a two for one deal with this gem. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing by. It's huge (that's what she said) and you can see it from the street. You have to park off the road and walk up to the building. No one is cutting the grass or tending to the yards so it's kind of out of control. It smells like dog poop around the building and I'm sure strays are using it as their litterbox.

I can't believe it's been 24 year since it's closure and it's still standing.

"Dawes Arboretum is an absolute treasure! Whether you're looking for a peaceful stroll, a challenging hike, or a beautiful place to learn about nature, this place has it all. The diverse plant collections, including the stunning Japanese Garden and the unique cypress swamp, offer something new to discover with every visit. I especially love the auto tour for a relaxed experience, and climbing the observation tower for that amazing view of the hedge letters is a must. It's clear how much care goes into maintaining the grounds. A truly enriching and beautiful experience for all ages!"

My wife and I visited Columbus recently and I found out about this place after looking for something peaceful and pleasant to do outdoors on our way home as we always do on road trips. Before we stopped we had some idea of the scale of this place, but when we actually got there it was truly mind blowing. The grounds are so vast and so beautiful we spent the entire day and learned a lot about trees and the various plants. I also booked a tour of the house ahead of time. We learned a lot of history on the tour and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Plus the tour itself is very detailed and they show you more of the house than I was expecting (including an amazing surprise in the basement). I can’t recommend highly enough. It’s a lot of walking because the grounds cover thousands of acres all of which is absolutely stunning, so plan accordingly. There is also an “auto tour” around the arboretum, with places along the way to pull off and take in the sights and fresh air. It’s amazing the dedication and care that all of their marvelous staff puts into maintaining this treasure including past caretakers (who are thoughtfully and graciously memorialized in one of the outbuildings telling you about the history of the arboretum and the people who established it). Some of the cool things that we saw there have inspired us in our own gardening endeavors at home as well. We will be returning again and again! We absolutely LOVED The Dawes Arboretum. I told all of my family about it as well, because I think everyone should enjoy their splendid green spaces, fresh air, and tall trees (especially for how low the price of admission was). If you’re a tree lover, a gardener, or you just appreciate the great outdoors and aesthetic beauty in general, this is the place for you. Actually it’s the place for everybody, because it is impossible not to find peace, tranquility, and harmony while strolling their forested trails and beautiful gardens. We could all use some of that in our lives and the Dawes Arboretum certainly provides.

We are traveling in the area. Decided to check this place out. So happy we did. I know we missed things. So we will be back here before we leave. They have paved and dirt trails. Have a little gift shop. Employees were very knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of parking.

A naturalist led the Mushroom Walk. She was knowledgeable and nice. My son really wanted to know which mushrooms were edible and she answered all his questions. Once she said to ID a fungus property would take some more work and I thought that was respectable for a walk without tools etc. The bathrooms at the gift shop / discovery center were clean. The trails were well maintained and the discovery center was interesting and designed with kids in mind.

Storybook woods! Beautiful flowers, all the trees young and old. Lots of adventures, amazing artists. So glad I bought a season pass!

We had a great experience here, saw flowers, trees, birds, and learned a ton about its history. We did the house tour snd Quinn (Hopefully thats right) was an amazing guide. She explained everything so well and made it fun to see. Very cool if you are into old stuff and history.

10/20/2024 - My family and I visited The Dawes Arboretum over the weekend. It was amazing and an unforgettable experience. There are about 12-14 miles to hike on their beautiful scenic area. You may also drive through The Dawes Arboretum where vehicles are permitted. There are all types of trees, plants, flowers, and a few wildlife. Every path you encounter and every step you take is a scene. You will also see artistry within the arboretum. There are designated parking lots throughout the arboretum for you to park and get out to explore. Per the staff member/greeter at the entrance, it is about 12-14 miles of a hike to see the entire Arboretum. There are also educational facilities within the arboretum along with a visitor center, and museum. You may bring your four-legged friends. Family space to make memories with nature. Nice and friendly staff. Cost to enter is 10.00. Enjoy.

My husband and I went on the Fall Foliage train ride and it was beautiful. The views are amazing. The gift shop is very nice with different drinks and snacks you can bring aboard the train. Getting your tickets is easy and the train depot is really cool. The ride is very interesting and you learn about the history of the area. The only thing we didn't like was how packed each train car was and how close you were sitting to strangers. We got there 45 minutes early, 15 minutes before it said to arrive, and it was already packed. We had difficulty finding the seats we wanted. We rode on the open train car to enjoy the nice weather but we had to sit on a bench shoulder to shoulder next to other people. They definitely need to have a max capacity that allows people to have some space. They shouldn't allow us to have to be that cramped together. We definitely will arrive even earlier next time. Other than that, I recommend it.

If you've never been on a train and want to say you have been, this is an inexpensive way of doing that. However, this is not what my friend and I had expected. The trip was not very "scenic" unless you enjoy seeing rundown backyards and trash piles. I understand the railway cannot control the public, but I wouldn't say this is scenic. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. The windows do not lock in place and can be dangerous. Several windows in the car we were in slammed shut from the vibrations of the train, thank goodness no one was hurt. The small town, can't remember the name, wasn't much to look at either and the "gift shop" there was a joke. But it was an inexpensive way to kill a couple of hours, just wouldn't do it again.

If you ever want to say you went on a train ride this is the perfect and inexpensive spot to do that. There were more views of people's backyards and work equipment than beautiful views but still really cool to see and do. The colors were beautiful since it was fall. We also stopped at a small village which was pretty cool.

Great fall day adventure at the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway. Good size train and the vintage passenger cars from 1921 were well maintained. The volunteers were very friendly and helpful. They also offer Christmas and Easter time rides, as well as a New Years Eve celebration 🍾 ride. It is a non-profit organization, and they welcome donations in any amount to keep up with the maintenance.

The experience wasn’t what I expected, especially with it being $85. I don’t want to be too harsh with my review, since I love that they provide this experience to the public. All the staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy being there! Inside of the trains were clean and they had a vintage feel. The seats were comfortable and had a lot of leg room. Like a lot of the other reviews, I also was disappointed and the views. You see a lot of run down housing and trash. I understand that Hocking Valley Scenic Railway cannot control this, but wanted others to make others aware that most of the sites are not attractive. The biggest disappointment to me was the re-enactments. We paid for a ride that included reenactments, but every single performance was performed at the back and since the performers did not have microphones we could not make out a single word that was being said. I think this should be taken into consideration for future rides. Maybe have them do one reenactment at the front, then one at the back, so all riders are included or even some type of microphone. Overall, it we are glad we did it since we had been wanting to for awhile, but it isn’t something we would go back for a second time.

We had a wonderful relaxing ride on the train. It was a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it making it a part of your visit to the area

Have a small museum at the end of the train line with live, 1860 actors. It’s so awesome to go back in time, LIVE!!

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

Me and the family had an absolute blast today. Our first time zip-lining, and we couldn’t have possibly had a better experience. Our guides - Justin and Alexa - were extraordinarily fun, helpful, patient and above all else, kept us safe (from ourselves). They made an excellent team, you could tell they enjoyed working with each other. We will definitely be back at some point. 🙌

5 STARS! This was a GREAT experience! The tour gals were attentive, informative, and entertaining. They made sure we were all safe and comfortable, and most of all, made sure we all had a blast! You should definitely give this a try. 😁 Thanks to Bre & Jo for being such awesome guides!

Skylar and Riley were amazing tour guides! They made our zip-lining experience absolutely unforgettable. They’re super fun, have great personalities, and kept us laughing the entire time with their jokes. The only thing I wish is that they took a few more pictures while we were out on the tour, but overall, it was an incredible experience. You won’t be disappointed! Definitely purchase the X Tour! Loved all the people we met. Would definitely do it again:)

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

Pretty great! Lots of stairs but a beautiful area and falls. Knocked a star off because the problem are the people who wade and swim in the water ruining a nice photo despite many signs saying you should not. Still very nice area! Watch walking across the stream as I witnessed many fall.

​Cedar Falls is one of the more peaceful spots in Hocking Hills. The walk to the falls is a treat in itself, with all the big hemlock trees and lush ferns. You can hear the water before you even see it, which just builds the anticipation. When you get there, it’s just a beautiful cascade of water pouring down over the rock cliff into a clear pool. It's not the tallest waterfall, but it's one of the prettiest. I loved just sitting on a rock and taking in the sound of the water and the cool mist. It’s the perfect place to just stop and relax for a bit, a definite highlight of the park.

Super cool! We were here in early October; the day befjre the falls were bone dry but after the 24 hours of rain it was spectacular!!pretty easy hike. Some stairs. Some narrow spots.

Fun trail to get to the waterfall. It's a treat once you get to it, it's a great place to relax. Easy to make your way to the waterfall and snap some memorable pictures. Not too busy. If you're going with little kids in strollers then it's not accessible. You will have to carry them in your arms. Not wheelchair accessible either. There are different trails you can take. The shortest one is to the falls and back to the lot. Probably around 0.6 miles. Very doable and fun.

The trail is quite easy & enjoyable. Like walking into Narnia . The falls are magical. But there were to many people that don't know how to read . do t get in the water. Your dirty self will get in the water & everyone else up stream , is doing their deed, so it's coming down on you .

Cedar Falls is exceptional. The trails are picturesque and very well maintained. Other than some stairs to the exit, it is a very easy hike.

relatively small trail for cedar falls so the area by the waterfall tends to get crowded. i also would avoid doing after rain as stuff gets slippery and muddy. saw lots of people slip and fall but the scenery is beautiful.

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.

This place is absolutely gorgeous It's so big and vast. The floor is like a sanded dirt and it's a great place to take children Its incredibly beautiful. You can go out the way you came back in or you can decide to go up a more steep path and do a loop around. The bathrooms are out houses no plumbing It's a very clean place and there's access to a dumpster in the parking lot if you need to throw things away.

This is a very cool place to stop and spend a little bit of time! The shear size if this is impressive and will definitely make you want to take a bunch of pictures. There is also a good bit of hiking after you visit the cave. The parking was fantastic and even though it was pretty busy it still seemed like we were not cramped with people. I very much suggest making a visit!

This was a fairly easy hike and the trail to the recessed is considered wheelchair accessible. The last half of the hike has a few sets of stairs. The cave was stunning and when we got to the top some singers blessed our ears with their voices. The acoustics were outstanding. Never saw who broke into song but it was the highlight of our hike.

I've wanted to come here for years. My husband has started joining me on hiking adventures. So today we stopped by here and a couple other spots in the hocking hills area. We hiked from here to Cedar Falls and back. Beautiful hike! But you just can't capture how big and beautiful Ash cave is. It's just so cool to walk up to it and be like WOW! Then your under the overhang. Looking around you feel so small. It's truly stunning and would recommend checking it out!

This was a pretty easy walk to get to, but then it was steps out along a rim trail, unless you go against the one way, and go back the way you came! This was a huge cavern, very cool. Alot of photo opportunities! Worth seeing. Again, every walk through the these woods are beautiful!

A fun and very rewarding hike! Nice, accessible trail that would even accommodate a child stroller. Cool setting, Awesome cave, and unique waterfall. Would highly recommend to everyone who enjoys getting out to see God’s wonderful creation!

We came after 24 hours of rain in early October. The day before the rain it was bone dry! But after the rain it was super cool! The cave is really cool! Very easy short hike.

For the most part this trail was easy but getting in/out the Rock House itself could be a challenge for some and there is an uphill portion at the end. We started from the second parking lot as we didn’t know it was different from the first lot. Great hike! Watch for pigeons/poop in the rock house.

Beautiful cave/natural tunnel. Very large so even if its busy there is plenty of room for everyone to be inside of the rockhouse. This is a one way trail and the uphill climb after you view the rockhouse to the exit may be strenuous for those not used to hiking. The natural bridge/arch was closed but still viewable and such a unique natural structure in the area.

Wonderful trail to a covered cave. Really neat experience to be in the cave and imagine what has happened in the cave over the last couple of hundred years. Pigeons and pigeon poop inside of the cave so be extra careful where you place your hands. Parts of the trail were challenging to walk, so be extra careful. I would recommend a sturdy walking stick to help with your balance. The last quarter mile or so back to the parking lot is a steady uphill walk on a dirt path . You made need to take a couple of short breaks to catch your breath. Also take a small flashlight with you to help see inside and walk around while inside the cave. The camera flashlight was ok but it was not bright enough. The walk and time spent in the cave took about 1.5 to 2 hours which was well worth it to be able to see some of the amazing works of our Creator.

Totally awesome! The first park of the yellow hike is mostly downhill. Then after reaching the rock house cave, you head back uphill. The walk is not terribly long and the footing is mostly steady, but some parts are a little sandy. Coming uphill is a little strenuous but there's room to stop. The sights through out are beautiful!!

A visit to Hocking Hills is incomplete without experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Rock House. This natural tunnel, carved into a Blackhand sandstone cliff, is an awe-inspiring spectacle. The cavernous opening, with its seven gothic-like archways, feels like entering a hidden world. Sunlight filters through the trees above, casting an ethereal glow on the moss-covered rocks and creating a magical, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The sheer scale and intricate details of the rock formations are a testament to the power of nature. Standing inside, you feel small and humbled by the ancient geology surrounding you. It's a truly amazing and beautiful stop, a must-see for anyone exploring the wonders of Hocking Hills.

Love this hike! The rock house itself is really cool to walk through and explore. I took my 8, 6, and 4 year old and they loved it too. The last part of the trail is a steep incline up but my kids were able to do it, just had to go slow. Went on a Monday and pretty much had the trail to ourselves.

It was really cool, you could see for quite a ways, and get some great pics. Careful of all the pigeons, for some reason a whole lot of them came flying in at the same time at one point while we were looking around. Luckily no accidents! Lol!

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!

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!

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

Came down for my first football game. What a time, we ran over Penn State- it was great. Stadium itself is a lot of stairs. Some really good views. A lot of lines for food and drink. All the fans were great, can't wait to come back!!

Amazing Stadium ! Very well built/maintained ! My maiden game was yesterday OSU Buckeyes vs Texas Longhorns . Of all stadiums I’ve been to , The Shoe ( The Ohio Stadium is by far the best when it comes to management , views and aesthetics! The scenery and atmosphere is second to none ! A very very vibrant and awesome place to be !

As a Texas Longhorn, I was impressed with the friendliness of everyone from Ohio!! They were very welcoming and I’m sure out of respect for the great teams. If I was an Aggie I’m sure they would have kicked me out. 😂 I have been at SEVERAL outdoor events, but these fan were so loud I couldn’t hear for about 20 minutes after the game. Great place!! Very impressive!! Highly recommended!!

Such an awesome stadium to experience in person the vibe is electric with over 100,000 of your closet friends during a football game. Also lots cool merchandise to buy and great food options.

Had a appreciation day from our company, Crawford Hoying at Ohio stadium. It was a fantastic day on the field and hearing all the stories from the tour guide of the stadium. This is an excellent place to do a team building event or to just check out a true classic Stadium experience.

Great OSU game day experience from the front row of C-deck. This was a great time with friends and tickets were reasonably priced for a College Football Game. Script Ohio by the marching band at halftime was an awesome sight!

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!
