This was the coolest zoo we've been to. The rides do cost extra but there's so much to do in the zoo that you don't need it. There's so many animals and each exhibit is meticulously planned to provide a nice space for the animal. The zoo flowed well and we really enjoyed the different sections so we knew what to expect for the animals. Great zoo and a great experience.
The zoo itself was great. Very enjoyable and I loved the amount of space the enclosures had for the animals. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is cuz the food is outrageous. $15 for a cheeseburger, $8 for a hotdogs. It cost us $90 just for food for a small party. Definitely pack your own lunch before your visit.
What a great time going. The last time I was here was when I was a child and how it has grown and changed is incredible. Such a diverse choice of animals from different regions of the world. Great displays touching upon conservation, education, and the impact mankind has on wildlife. Many extras with gift shops, food choices, rides, etc. Highlights were the manatee and hyena displays.
Definitely get there in the morning because you’re going to need A LOT of time! The zoo is massive, we got there while there was still 2 hours to closing and barely saw 25% of it! We greatly enjoyed our time nonetheless! We went on a Friday and it wasn’t crowded, the zoo was very clean and we loved how large the enclosures were for the animals. Will definitely come back if we get the chance and spend all day there!
Literally the best zoo we have ever visited! I enjoyed so much of this visit. The lights were going on and it was super beautiful I also didn’t know that Jack Hannah used to work this zoo! If you haven’t been here I highly recommend going!
This is my absolute favorite zoo so far. The wildlife is well taken care of. The aquarium is clean, beautiful, large, it's equally very amazing. The aquatic life is extremely happy. It seems all these animals have great space to be as close to real life as they can get in safety. I love Africa to see everything's so large. The restrooms are spotless. The employees are very kind and helpful. I can't say enough good about my experiences here. It's above in comparison to others I've been to in my surrounding areas. The gorillas have an amazing habitat as well as many other animals habitats there. I spend the night at a hotel so I can enjoy the entire zoo and take my time. I love the reptile building also. I can go on..
We had an amazing day at the Columbus Zoo. The Red Panda experience was absolutely incredible and 100% worth it. Getting to learn about these adorable animals up close was unforgettable. Tom from the Education Team was especially fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell how much he cares about the animals and making the experience special for guests. Highly recommend this zoo and the animal experiences to anyone visiting Columbus!
We had a great time at the Columbus Zoo. So many animals! We've been to many zoos across the US and this is definitely at the top! The large area for the giraffes was incredible. The layout of the zoo was easy to navigate as well. We walked over 6 miles that day! Can't wait to come back!

I enjoyed my time there. Kid and adult friendly. Parking only $10 and they have all day rental lockers for an affordable rate. I do recommend wearing water shoes to avoid walking barefoot on high traffic wet areas. It is first come first serve for the tubes at the lazy river but still very enjoyable. They have a “fast pass” option which I thought was nice. Drinks were a little pricey, but they do hand out water cups to make sure everyone is staying hydrated. I thought the burger and fry meal was reasonably priced. You can also bring your own food, get stamped, go out to your car and eat, and come back at no fee. All and all I will definitely go again! Super easy to get to as well!
We had a great time. We got there when the park opened and rented a 21+ lounger space on the same day, but they do advise to book in advance online. For reserved padded lounge chairs in the semi private shade, access to the wait staff and a safe large enough to fit a large shoulder bag, we felt that the $100 fee was worth it. Since a large locker is $22 already. And since we also came in from out of town, the day use of towels included with the lounge rental were a nice bonus. The staff running the bar in that area were friendly and helpful. I would also advise to go to the left side of the parking lot when you arrive for close access to the Zoombezi entrance. If you follow the masses, you are going to end up on the zoo side with a considerable walk ahead of you. Take sunscreen. If this is the one thing you forget, the standard 6oz size spray is $30 on site. 30-40oz of heavily tequila laden margaritas is cheaper than 6oz of sunscreen here.
We went on weekend and it was super crowded. They have lots of fun things for kids and plenty of seating area. There’s no shade on rides. They have separate sheds for seating but you have to reserve them and they charge a lot for those “Cabanas”. It’s worth money if you’re someone who doesn’t mind going to overcrowded places.
Cashless isn't always convenient. Especially for a young person working and having cash they can't spend or having to purchase a card to purchase some over priced and mediocre food. Our pizza was overpriced and was terrible. Pool was shut down nobody knew why I don't know just filled on the organized
Cool place for kids. Def worth it to get the annual gold pass with free parking if you live close by and will visit often. Bring food and drinks, expensive and not that great inside.
It was a lot of fun. The best of all is that there were not many people and we could enjoy all the attractions without queuing.
I went with my friend and her kids and mine they had a fun time! Its very hot at the zoo! Get fans and water! Dont wear sandals lol! Blisters suck!
If you like water and if you are near columbus ? Don't forget to visit this place. Beautiful relaxing atmosphere , nice food choices, awesome rides for all thrill types . It is awesome in summer.

This was our 1st axe throwing adventure and it certainly won't be the last. We had so much fun. The instruction was wonderful. We were checked on frequently to ensure we were having fun or if we needed anything. When we arrived we had to wait for the rest of our group to arrive but we amused ourselves in an area with soft couches and chairs with corn hole and a football. There was also a corner with a table and chairs and a giant jenga set. So even if you arrive and must wait, you can still start having fun. They even had a TV so we could watch the beginning of a playoff game as we finished up throwing. The entire place is a giant open floor plan with the bar in the center. Each throwing area has it own table and chairs for the throwers or observers to sit (very much like bowling alleys) which was perfect for us since we had a group of 6 adult throwers, 2 adult non throwers and 2 children. In fact the only 2 things that would have been nice is a couple high chairs and a few more games like giant checkers, ring toss or basketball hoop and a blocked off area next to a throwing area for kids to play as parents threw for people who must bring kids with them. We definitely plan on returning for another birthday party next month. 2nd visit was just as fun as the 1st. We've already made plans for another visit.
What a great Outing with coworkers. we had 20 people. We had two instructors assigned to us. It was a great team building experience competitive and fun. Instructors were great!!! After throwing axes, there’s plenty more to do Jenga cornhole, etc. I would definitely recommend this place and we will certainly go back!!
Honestly the most fun I’ve had on a weekend night and a long time. There is a bar with a lot of variety and really good deals. There is a three dollar draft of the bartenders choice which makes it very affordable, and daily deals that are actually really good. For the best time, bring a group of friends and play the games against each other where you get to create your own teams and find out who the true lumbermaster is. If you have already been, you know it’s fun. If you haven’t, give it a try!
We took my wife to Throw Nation for her birthday and it did not disappoint! Coleman was our host (though he called himself Axel for the duration) and he was hilarious and a great axe-throwing teacher. The games were entertaining and the bar was well-stocked. Staff were all great and even the waiver process was quick and easy. A great place for groups to have fun! Even the kids enjoyed the football bowling game. We will be back!
We had a company party here for 18 on Saturday, Dec 7. Arrived about an hour early to socialize, gather the group, sign waivers and scope it out. Our axe throwing started promptly at 7 and the 2 guys that ran it were awesome. They first showed us how to throw and then the games were on for the next 1.5 hours or so. Our office and significant others all had a blast. After axe throwing we moved on to football bowling and that too was a lot of fun. Cool atmosphere, great bartenders (Andrea was awesome) and good fun. Highly recommend.
We had our 10-year-old’s birthday party here on a Sunday afternoon and everything was fabulous! From booking, to answering questions, to setting stuff up and keeping the party going smoothly, the staff was wonderful. The venue has a nice open feel and there was a lot more space and side activities (corn hole, football bowling, etc) than I had anticipated. Our Axepert, Lauren, was so friendly and helpful. Everyone kept saying how much fun the party was!
Newer, modern corner building of a strip mall. Lots of parking and handicap parking available. Large open facility, clean, rustic, great feel and just plain cool establishment! Large stocked bar with beers on tap located center of facility. Get your spirit on! Staff friendly, pleasant, personable and awesome! The two ladies working here were knowledgeable and helpful as well. First appearance when we walked in was "WOW, this place is awesome!" What made the deal was the staff. They offer single player to large groups, with or without extra services such as your own personal group advisor/instructor/trainer/guide, etc. My boyfriend made reservations for an hour and a half of axe play for me and another for himself online through their website. I recommend to make your reservations online. You can be creative with axe throwing by playing "tic tac toe" game and other games, just ask one of the staff, they'll be happy to instruct you on how to play many games. Pinball machines are also available for those who have that nostalgic feeling or for the newer generations that appreciates old school gaming. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and highly recommend this place to everyone. Come and experience for yourselves, they will not disappoint you! Hope my review was helpful. Enjoy and Godspeed everyone!
This is the 3rd year I've had my sons birthday party there!The gentleman who has helped me book it and participate is DEAN!!!It is so much fun and he really is a fantastic host!We will be back next year if not sooner!!!Ty💪💯❤️

The wine slushy (I order the 50/50 two different wines). So delicious and refreshing. Kelli our server recommended it and I will definitely order this on my next visit!
We popped in here randomly on a Saturday night and service was A+ from the jump! They were very thoughtful, accommodating, fun to chat with, and willing to make sure we liked everything. The vibe is laid back, but it's a nice place. I tried about six wines and I'd gladly drink a glass of any of them again. Call Me A Cab and My Place Or Yours were fighting for my favorites. We didn't try any food, but they have food/drink pairing options that I'll come back for some time. Found a gem!
Great place. Thursday was 4 wine tasting and flatbread. We also enjoyed the cheese
My wife and I went to celebrate an anniversary here and had so much fun. The owners, the staff, the atmosphere and the wine were amazing! Top Notch Place!
Stopped in here on our way through town and loved it. Great selection of wine, service was outstanding and the food looked amazing (we didn't try any this time, but we'll be getting the flatbread next time). Yes. There will be a next time.
Great wine bar with seating for 40-50+ including a bar area for 10 or so. Good crowd on a Thursday and great service for our group of 10+. Flatbread was a good pairing and several topping selections that also paired well. Entrance and plenty of parking in the back.
Cancelled a bridal shower we had booked for weeks with less than a 48 hour notice. As a business owner I can’t imagine doing this to a customer. No confusion. You called and said the space was accidentally double booked and the space would be given to the other bridal shower and our event was cancelled . You offered nothing more than an apology.
This place has fantastic wine. Cozy and comfortable. Plexiglass between every other chair at the bar to help with covid concerns . Highly recommend.

Our group had a blast. Our host was informative and very nice. Lots of escape room choices. Definitely check this place out for your next small group activity.
I recently brought a group of about 20 employees (teens to early twenties) for a team-building retreat and booked two rooms. One group had a decent experience—their game master was helpful, understanding, and created a positive environment, even when minor issues arose. Unfortunately, the second room had the opposite experience. While the game started well, the atmosphere quickly shifted when the game master entered the room with an aggressive knock and a condescending tone, referencing a rule we supposedly broke. There was confusion among the group, as many of us didn’t recall that specific rule—understandably, as we were given 10+ rules right before starting. Rather than offering a polite reminder or using the room’s mic system (if there is one), we were scolded, which immediately dampened the mood. A similar incident occurred again later, followed by a vague threat to dock time. To our surprise, 20 minutes were removed from our clock without a clear explanation, which felt excessive for two honest mistakes. Despite this, our team kept going and solved nearly every puzzle. When we “escaped” the room, we were told, “Congrats, you cheated and skipped half the room,” in a sarcastic tone. This completely soured what should’ve been a proud team moment. Even when one of my staff asked what we missed, the response was again dismissive and unhelpful. Overall, we left feeling disrespected and disappointed. Quite a few of us stood in the parking lot talking about the experience in disbelieve, while others just went home (out of the norm for this group, they like to hang out and talk after events or work). I hope this location re-evaluates how they train game masters in customer service, communication, and tone. Our group came to bond and have fun—not to be scolded or spoken down to. Until then, I can’t recommend this experience in good faith. Unsure of the game masters name, he was about 5’6”, brown or black hair, Caucasian, and was wearing all black.
One of the best escape rooms I’ve ever been in. The Mayan room was extremely difficult but we somehow won. Brad with the Metallica shirt was a great guide person. Highly recommend this place. Very creative, challenging and fun. Make sure you get your free lock pick.
EDIT 8/20/24 We ended up being able to go back before we left Columbus and it was amazing! We did the Mayan room and it was so cool! We loved how everything worked and changed based on what you did and how much thought was put into each and every piece of each puzzle! It was challenging but also really fun to do! Jordan did AMAZING at explaining, helping, was super animated, and added to the fun! Not to mention super kind to us both and even took pictures for us! EDIT!!! They emailed us both really quickly and issued a refund as it was the employee’s fault and also offered us a free room if we choose to go again! Hoping we get to give them the opportunity to show us how amazing they are! I’m so grateful for the great and fast response and the apology/accountability! If i could rate it a 0 I would…the site says to come in 15 minutes early so we did and no one was even here…then the staff opened the door 3 minutes before our allotted time. Then we went into the Einstein room and so much was broken! The staff had to keep coming in to fix different things. Then we were told we were on the last puzzle and ran out of time so staff came in to show us and couldn’t even figure it out! “I’m sorry guys” This place is too expensive to have the room not even working! The staff should have been here on time and made sure every puzzle worked BEFORE we went in the room…Then offered us a gift card after we already wasted our time here once. We are only here today and could not use that gift card. To say I’m beyond disappointed is an understatement. Not to mention our time was never stopped when things broke. I was told to say the combination since the one puzzle wasn’t working and I had said it correctly 4 times before it was told it was correct then told to “move on” while they came in to mess with the puzzle. Don’t waste your money. Do better lockology. For a no refund place, I see why you’re refusing refunds…You’d lose all of your money!
I just completed Crime Scene Investigator. Loved that you not only had to escape the room but solve a murder. I was by myself, and the clues definitely made me stop and think, only managed with about 12 min left. It was a really great experience. Definitely need to come back for the others.
Our first time doing this escape room but my 4th over all escape room. It was pretty cool we were split into two groups working together in different rooms. Down side is you only get 3 clues it’s not unlimited clues like other rooms. They don’t talk to you through a microphone in the room, they communicate with you through words on a TV. The biggest downside to my groups experience was that one of the pieces to the puzzle was switched in a different box, out of order then what it was supposed to be in. So it threw us off, and wasted a lot of our time that could have been spent in other places. Because this clue was misplaced out of order, it hindered us from winning the room.
We did the Area 51 room for a 10th bday party. We made it through with a little help form our host Hannah with a few minutes to spare. Hannah was great and very patient managing a group of 10 year olds. Make sure that you have at least 2 adults to help with the kids.
We had a great time doing our escape room. We had a big group of ten. The puzzles were challenging and fun and there were lots of interactive elements. Nova was great as our game master and took photos for us too.

Beautiful course, the staff are extremely professional and friendly. They do a great job at keeping the spacing between groups and rate of play on time without being overbearing. Even though the online system had allowed more reservations than what is considered normal, the group I was paired with had minimal down time waiting on the group ahead of us; and the times we were waiting had more to do with them not playing very well. The course itself is forgiving and has some interesting lines and greens that enhance the challenge especially for your mid to short game. Only a handfull of holes have a water hazard and even those that do have them aren't absolute game killers if you happen to hit one. Highly recommend and look forward to playing there again.
I have played golf here for the last two years now. While I don't play a ton I find that the course is always in great condition. Most recently we golfed after having received a large amount of rain and the course was still in great shape. The pro-shop is very nice as is the bar. The food is decent and the restrooms are clean and well cared for. Overall a great experience for the price and a course I will continue to visit.
My girl and i had a great first experience, very nice course and the pace of play was not bad at all compared to most places! i did go on a Friday evening though. the club house paired us with a worker named Dave and he was very personable and made the experience that much better. We will defiantly be back.
I was part of a golf outing this month. The golf course workers were so helpful. Made it run so smoothly. They were so kind. So helpful. Course was in decent shape, some rough patches. Highly recommend
Decent course for what it is. Great job not booking tee times too close together. Course is in good shape. Proshop has a nice selection. Nothing spectacular nothing glaringly wrong. Cost is appropriate for what you get.
Gave it 5 stars for value. Are there better courses in Central Ohio? Yes. But for the cost, you can't beat Safari. Super easy to get to if you're on the northwest side of town. Practice facilities are great for warming up or for tuning up. If you have a zoo pass it comes with a nice discount on the cost. The staff in the pro shop and the clubhouse are always friendly. The facilities are always clean, and well kept.
Ty and his team did a fantastic job on the recent outing we had at Safari Golf Club. They were very friendly, professional and extremely organized. I highly recommend Safari to any group who is having an outing.
Great courses that is well kept. Open course for all handicaps with a few narrow fairways. Not many food options but plenty of drinks to choose from.

This is a beautiful park that has well maintained trails that go through wetlands, woods, a meadow, and around a pond.It also has a playground, shelter house, restrooms and a large parking lot.
This is such a lovely little park! My daughter loves the playground and it has plenty to do to keep a kid entertained. She loves the climbing rock in particular. The trails are nice and easy to walk. We walked all three in less than an hour (at a very leisurely pace and accounting for stopping at the duck pond). The restroom was pretty standard for a public park and it was clean. Overall, the park seems generally well-kept, though we did notice a couple of things that could use a little help: a display board along the Meadow Trail has come unglued from its post, and the swings on the playground could use some oil (one in particular is VERY noisy). :)
This park is tucked in and very secluded but I loved the serenity of it! Nice walking paths and well maintained. Liked watching the tadpoles in the ponds and even saw a few deer. Also, lots of pretty flowers growing (I visited 5/29). Highly recommended to anyone who wants a little slice of heaven in their day.
We enjoyed a relatively quiet and pleasant weekday picnic under the shelter there. Besides being small and well kept, the cleanliness was impressive. Picnic tables seemed fairly new, very sturdy and trash receptacle not overflowing. Grounds were green and shorn adequately. We plan to return sometime soon.
One of the best parks in Powell. Amazing trail.
This park is gorgeous! The main walking path is shaded & there's a beautiful pond view. The kids playing area is unique with a cool rock climbing structure for much older kids (full sun) & a tunnel. We're so lucky to have Preservation Parks in Delaware County ♥️
This is a great little hidden gem of a park with plenty of parking, including handicap accessible spaces. The play area is small but but packed with things to do. There are swings, a climbable play structure and a four sided climbing wall that stands about 8 feet tall. There is amother smaller play structure for kids under 4, wooden logs that can be stacked and a bridge/tunnel to play on/in. This park has a very nice covered picnic shelter with charcoal grill as well a few picnic tables around the park even including a wheelchair accessable picnic table(pictured) near the playgrounds. There is a clean bathroom shelter with a drinking fountain and an information board with park literature and biodegradable doggie poop bags. There are two tails through the woods that are an easy hike for little ones, with beautiful views of a little pond. This park feels like your own little private Highbanks Metro Park.
This is a nice little park for a dog walk. It has two scenic walking circles. The total distance between the two is about 1.5 miles. The park also offers a playground area for the kiddos. It was a nice new little adventure for our dog.

Had a great time enjoying my float and oxygen bar. Chase was super nice and helpful. Helps get you into a meditative state.
Gidget is a True Gem! Every visit to the float spa is amazing, Gidget makes the experience exceptional. She brings such warmth, kindness, and genuine care to everything she does. You can feel her positive energy the moment you walk in. She’s not just knowledgeable she truly wants you to feel better, mind body and soul. Gidget goes above and beyond to make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. I’m so grateful for her presence and the peace she brings to the space. If you get the chance to be in her care at true rest consider yourself lucky!
I would’nt recommend coming to this location. I bought a single session today 1/10/25, and decided to use it the same day, first problem is they don’t answer the phone nor do they return a phone call. They only text you which is super weird for an establishment. My second problem is that I came to the Powell location and mind you guys the hours are (working hours are - Mon: 3:00PM - 10:00PM, Tue-Sun: 9:00AM - 10:00PM) i came around 530pm and when I came the closed sign was in the window, the lights were dim and I seen a woman inside. By the time I walked to the door the woman was gone and the doors were locked. I called the office 2x and no answer they only texted saying they were going to relay the message to the front door. It is now 620pm I been outside for almost an hour. no one has called me back. So if you’re thinking of doing this, don’t go to this location. Go somewhere where they actually care about the customers.
First, this was fine ON my birthday. I've wanted to do this for years... When you walk out after 15 minutes and tell the attendant, I don't get it and she says me either. It starts with a video. It shows your own music connection. As soon as I'm shown to my room, I ask about it and the attendant says, OH we don't have that. I ask for music and she says she can do that. Showered as instructed, got into water, wasn't told that you have to lay still before it'll "start". No instruction on the lights or intercom. Music starts, lights still on, music goes off after 5 minutes... just when I'm relaxing. I push a button that I'll assume it's the intercom, no answer. Found the light switch then too because i just pushed buttons randomly. At that point I'm irritated and upset. I get out, shower again then ask about a hair dryer. The attendant almost immediately told me then that the place was not up to date, kinda run down as far as equipment and that I SHOULD have booked the one in Easton. "They're totally updated" ugh. Happy birthday to me...NOT.
A great experience for my first time at a Float Spa! I was a bit nervous to try this, but the knowledgeable staff at True REST put me at ease with fully explaining what I should expect and how the process works. The facility is incredibly clean and offers everything you will need to prep before your float and to relax and reflect after. If you are curious about sensory deprivation and it's benefits, or you use this therapy regularly; I highly recommend you try this place.
As I anticipated from the customer service that I received while in the facility, the owners DID NOT reach out as they said they would after I wrote a poor review listed below 2 weeks ago. As they stated in their response, they never called me, left me a voicemail, or reached out to me on social media to resolve their poor customer service. All it seems they are interested in doing is providing lip service as a response to the poor review to look good on social media. Obviously this behavior is acceptable for them and it is exactly the experience they intend to provide to customers. No response to poor service just shows the lack of leadership from the owners, and I now assume they demonstrate this in their facility with their associates, as they displayed the same poor customer service. I assume they will not be successful in the long term with this type of leadership and poor customer service. Good luck. INITIAL POOR REVIEW: My wife and I visited TrueREST in Powell today for a couples float. Facility is nice and they seemed very professional when we arrived. During my float experience, the music never came on, the light stayed on, and the water jet never shut off in my pod as it was supposed to. I was also not able to manually shut off the light with the button. I was unable to relax due to water bumping me into the wall repeatedly. Finally was able to doze off with about 10 minutes left in my float. Was awakened to somebody banging loudly on my door telling me I was 15 minutes past my time limit. Unfortunately the music that was supposed to come on with 5 minutes left didn’t either. After rushing out of my pod, I asked the attendant at the desk about my pod regarding the light, music, and jet and if there was something I was supposed to do to turn them off. She stated that there was nothing that I should have to do to start it, and proceeded to tell me that my wife had said the same thing, seemed upset, and just put on her shoes and left. She didn’t seem concerned at all that our pods didn’t work properly. After getting to the car and speaking with my wife about her experience, I learned that her pod did exactly as mine did. She stated that she got out of the pod and just waited in her room on the bench for about 30-35 minutes until I was done. Overall, this experience cost us about $100, for services that didn’t live up to the expectations that were advertised. We would love to get a refund for the poor experience, and will not be returning.
Every time i go here there's a problem with the scheduleling ladies last week called rescheduled us and then we go back this week and she didn't schedule us so we drove 50 minutes for nothing
Excellent for relaxation, better sleep, pain relief and more. Friendly people, clean with everything you need to stop by at the end of your day or before you go to work. Stay for tea, water and their Oxygen machines in their lounge.

Great brewery !! The staff is amazing !! It's a very nice place to go have some fun and sit outside and relax.. It's great they're a Browns Backer Bar.
A warm and friendly atmosphere…great brews and food trucks! The staff works hard to provide excellent service and handle a high volume of folks most nights. I’ve tried beer from several of the Central OH breweries but always come back to IM! Great selection with a ton of variety….and if you aren’t feeling the beer - try the spiked hot chocolate! It’s awesome!
Great beer, great birds. Peregrine falcon and Eastern bluebird spotted. Cranberry bourbon slushie was delicious
What a place. Met some friends here on a business trip and had a blast. Top notch brewskis and a real laid back local vibe. Love to hang out here, friendly staff and patronage. Stop by and give them a try, love the patio. You might have to park at the strip mall half block away but so what, prolly need the exercise anyway. RTR
This brewery always has such friendly staff who want to find you the best drink. Come enjoy some pizza from the food truck, beer from the tap, and the company of friends.
The beer is flavorful and true to style. The owners are all extremely personable along with the rest of the staff, especially Shawn(I probably spelled that wrong, but meh). The outdoor space is great and I enjoy the bar area a lot. They have TVs and show all the sports when they're able. They definitely use the space wisely. If you're in the area, you should stop in and have a few.
Tried the experimental sour. Good but not fantastic. Cranberry shandy was nice. Col and loud inside in the winter. Had a nice patio and large fire pit. No food truck on Sunday.
Quaint place with a great atmosphere and a really nice chill patio. They are doing the rotating food truck food model that's getting popular now with breweries which is a good thing and an ever changing menu.

Beautiful course, the staff are extremely professional and friendly. They do a great job at keeping the spacing between groups and rate of play on time without being overbearing. Even though the online system had allowed more reservations than what is considered normal, the group I was paired with had minimal down time waiting on the group ahead of us; and the times we were waiting had more to do with them not playing very well. The course itself is forgiving and has some interesting lines and greens that enhance the challenge especially for your mid to short game. Only a handfull of holes have a water hazard and even those that do have them aren't absolute game killers if you happen to hit one. Highly recommend and look forward to playing there again.
I have played golf here for the last two years now. While I don't play a ton I find that the course is always in great condition. Most recently we golfed after having received a large amount of rain and the course was still in great shape. The pro-shop is very nice as is the bar. The food is decent and the restrooms are clean and well cared for. Overall a great experience for the price and a course I will continue to visit.
My girl and i had a great first experience, very nice course and the pace of play was not bad at all compared to most places! i did go on a Friday evening though. the club house paired us with a worker named Dave and he was very personable and made the experience that much better. We will defiantly be back.
I was part of a golf outing this month. The golf course workers were so helpful. Made it run so smoothly. They were so kind. So helpful. Course was in decent shape, some rough patches. Highly recommend
Decent course for what it is. Great job not booking tee times too close together. Course is in good shape. Proshop has a nice selection. Nothing spectacular nothing glaringly wrong. Cost is appropriate for what you get.
Gave it 5 stars for value. Are there better courses in Central Ohio? Yes. But for the cost, you can't beat Safari. Super easy to get to if you're on the northwest side of town. Practice facilities are great for warming up or for tuning up. If you have a zoo pass it comes with a nice discount on the cost. The staff in the pro shop and the clubhouse are always friendly. The facilities are always clean, and well kept.
Ty and his team did a fantastic job on the recent outing we had at Safari Golf Club. They were very friendly, professional and extremely organized. I highly recommend Safari to any group who is having an outing.
Great courses that is well kept. Open course for all handicaps with a few narrow fairways. Not many food options but plenty of drinks to choose from.

We recently moved to the Powell area and stumbled upon Powell Liberty Antique Mall — and what a wonderful discovery it has been! This place is truly an absolute delight. What makes the experience even more special, however, is the people behind it. The owners and staff are incredibly down-to-earth, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their warmth and friendliness add so much charm to the shopping experience.
Nicely curated selection of antiques, you could spend a few house along gazing at all of the cases of jewelry and small trinkets.
This antique mall is amazing. It’s much larger than it looks and full of great pieces. I kept waking and with each room grew more amazed at the size and selection. Everything is all very reasonably priced as well.
My ideal antique store, building is super eclectic and there are so many booths. Its architecture fits the vibe of an antique store so well, one of my favorites.
Wonderful antique shot. A wide variety of things. Collectibles. Odds and ends. Old prints and advertisements. Tools. Postcards from the last 100 years. Loved the variety. Nice staff, happy to help. Will be back!
Don’t purchase anything from Amy, Booth MCB. If you have issues with your purchase she will not refund your money, no matter what happens, she does not accept accountability any for issues with her items. She is not a good of good character and does not provide good customer service that we all expect when we spend our hard earned money. Buyer beware
Amazing shop! Got some great affordable cowboy boots and some lovely baskets, but the real highlight is all the player pianos and nickelodeons! In perfect working order and for a quarter they'll play you gorgeous music. The owner is an expert and even used to have a museum and is happy to tell you all about them. Such a joy to see these around and in working order!
It's fun to get lost in the many cool items and choices in this antique store. Prices are fair

This is a great candle making experience for friends and family. It was really interesting picking out all my favorite scents and then creating my own unique candles with them. The candles burn very clean and smell amazing. Most importantly, the staff is incredible!! Shanna and Mikey are so friendly and kind to talk to. We had a lot of fun with them and plan on coming back in the future.
This is a fun sensory experience. They have more scents than you could imagine. You can mix and match and the scents combination possibilities are limitless. I like that they have many masculine scents which was a surprise and a plus. I winded up mixing orange and vanilla and it was brilliant. This is a great date location if you'd like to try something different. My girl and I trades scents and now when she's not around I have a fresh memory as her smell is with me.
Fantastic candle making experience and perfect date idea!! The assistant that helped us was excellent; she gave us great suggestions and our candles came out smelling fabulous. Highly recommend and we will definitely return. 7/11 - Update...my candle smells amazing after burning.
Took my Mom here for her birthday to make some candles. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely stop in to buy one of their premade candles or mix up your own!
Fun place for a girls day out. We went for my niece's birthday. You start by selecting your favorite scents. They have a huge selection of scents, everything from floral to fruity to manly. Then you select your candle jar or you can also make body lotions, sprays or sugar scrubs. The workers are really helpful in choosing which scents mix well together. They help you step by step create your candle and mix your scents.
Very fun experience with my daughter. So many scents to choose from but the staff is very knowledgeable and helps you narrow it down to those that blend well together. All the staff was very personable and kind!
Love candles and what is better then creating your own scents! Visited for the first time last year when I was in town and knew I wanted to go back again when I returned to town. So much fun and they ship them home for me!!
Came here to make a Christmas gift for my boss and the experience was delightful! It's super easy. You get friendly staff to walk you through it, and you can choose from any number of scents to combine to make your very own fancy candle. You pay per container and the staff will bag your goods to be picked up after a set time has passed to settle the wax. Thank you all so much! I know she will love it.

This was my team and I's third holiday outing with Recipe Cooking & Company, and each year gets better and better. Chef Mike and his team are exceptional. We always bring a large group, and the experience is always top-notch—they are incredibly prepared, and we have so much fun in the kitchen. The menu is always delicious, but we especially love the pasta workshop. I highly recommend hosting your next event here—it's perfect for team outings, date nights, or large family gatherings! We absolutely love it.
Super fun collaborative experience with our work team. We made delicious food and had a great time!
I have attended two cooking classes this fall, and both were excellent. Chef Mike does a great job organizing each class, explaining cooking processes and techniques, and creating menus for each class. The food prepared by each class has been exceptional. Having bottles of wine available for purchase to accompany the meals is a welcome feature as well.
Chef Mike was a wonderful teacher, host and chef! I have been wanting to take a cooking class and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed a tour of Mexico! The shrimp tostada was my favorite and followed closely by the strawberry tequila ice cream!! 🤤🤤🤤 Also love the new name! Well done chef Mike!
This was a great experience. The facility is warm and welcoming. The food was great and our Chef Dan was incredible. We will definitely be back.
Two great experiences with cooking classes in the past week! Savoir offers patient, friendly and knowledgeable cooking instruction. We took the Spring Meal and Taco cooking classes. They were a lot of fun I love the way dishes come together. Individual teams work on portions of a dish and at the denouement of the evening all the hard work comes together for a spectacular and tasty meal that everyone shares. Cooking classes are a great way to meet strangers - wine is a great social lubricant and we've really enjoyed the company of the attendees. I highly recommend a cooking class. Come for the food, stay for the company!
This place was awesome! Our office went together as a team building activity. The wine was amazing and the food was delicious. The recipes weren’t too hard and didn’t take very long. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. Highly recommended!
My wife and I had a great time! Mike and Mike are knowledgable and fun to work with! We did the New Mexican Dinner, it was some of the best food I've ever had!

Stopped here with the family. We enjoy looking through antique stores. Alot to see and so many different areas. If your in the area this is definitely a place to stop and walk through.
I could get lost in this place! Found uranium pieces I’ve been searching for and some other timeless gems. The lady who works here is extremely helpful as well.
We had a very nice time looking at all the collections of a time gone by. The proprietor is a wonderful highlight of our experience.
They had some really cool stuff. I loved the layout.
Love this place!!! Amazing experience! So thoughtful and let us try on rings! Will be back and would recommend!
Yesterday me and my husband stopped in and it was wonderful! They have so many options if they don’t have what you’re looking for they know something or someone and they’re great to have a conversation with 10/10 would recommend to anybody! Also the owner wasn’t there but her mother was and she made me feel like her kid/ family member it was soooo nice ! We were in there almost a hour! Definitely a one of kind atmosphere! Thank you again for providing a wonderful experience for our antique needs! Vanessa if you’re reading thank you for your store and your mother is amazing!
The owner is so nice person! Very cool place.
I was in there today for the first time and the items they carry are so delightful and such a variety! The lady was so friendly and we chatted about antiques and had the nicest conversation. She was curious about what I collected and took my name and number to be on the look out for certain items for me. She was absolutely delightful and I greatly enjoyed my experience there. I definitely plan to go back. I would recommend this place as a must visit if you are in the neighborhood or just looking for a new sweet spot to find treasures!

Duke did a great job. His selections were point on, and I hope to visit again very soon. Thanks, Mark/steve #39 was a great choice!!
The Daily Growler in Powell is a great location to find a new beer. They have around 50 on tap all the time and they’re constantly rotating. The outside patio is spacious enough and they usually have food trucks on Thursdays-Sundays, but definitely check before you go if you’re hungry because otherwise there’s no food. The service has always been great as well and they will help you find a new favorite beer if you’re intimidated by all the beers.
There’s nothing better then bringing your growler to The Daily Growler on a Friday night after a long week at work. With a long list of available beers on draft you can’t pick wrong. Next time you’re in sample something new!
I've been coming here for my book club this year and I have really enjoyed it! Lots of drink options and the prices are very reasonable, and the bar tender is always friendly. I have even come here a few times outside of book club and it's just a nice place to unwind and have a beer and the bar tender is always helpful in giving recommendations if I'm trying to decide between drinks. Added bonuses lots of parking, clean bathroom and indoor and outdoor space, and sometimes they have really cool food trucks.
Best growler shop around. Friendly staff and a wide selection of beer make this place a must see for any craft beer fans. The atmosphere is pretty low key. Not a bar, but almost a beer garden. There is a communal atmosphere. There is a food truck most weekends.
Love daily growler! The atmosphere is great, the staff is always great, and the food trucks are always nice. The pinball machines are fun! The indoor and outdoor seating is all great. It’s always a nice atmosphere with a friendly vibe! Great place to go! 😃
You should be able to find a beer you like here Staff is always pleasant
Don't expect expect too much. It is strictly about the beer, although they often do have food trucks. The lighting is dim, the tables wobble. But it's a good place to sit and talk and have a drink. With about 60 beers on tap you're going to find something you like

Very nice place. The food & service was great. I enjoyed watching ppl outside playing volleyball. Our waitress was the best. She made sure everything was right with us then had the band sing happy birthday to our grandson and brought him out a cupcake with a candle. We will definitely go back when we're in the area
Amazing food!!! Amazing service!!!! And the whole experience was wonderful, we came in during bingo and jus watching I had fun!!!! Would definitely return and absolutely recommend!
I just played there. It's a great place to work if you're a musician. The place was packed. They have a great in-house PA system. And the cat that runs it knows what he's doing.
The band, Swag, was great. Love the garage door going up while the band plays.
We had such a great time at The Lazy Chameleon last night! The food was top notch! Pretzel Bites crispy on outside and soft on inside, the blt wedge salad was amazing and the homemade ranch dressing was so good! Our server Chad was great! The band Rumspringa was absolutely amazing! They came out in the crowd and played and was so much fun!
We came here to watch the live band, and we absolutely loved Boaterhead. We did not make reservations, should have though. The owner was so freaking amazing! He guided us to the area with the pool tables and made sure our group had barstools and were comfortable. We also talked a bit and come to find out one of our friends is a regular at another bar he owns. Great conversation. He was truly enjoying his job and taking care of customers. We enjoyed playing pool. We totally enjoyed the loaded tator tots! The bartenders were great. Attentive. Quick. We don't come here too often. We live in Hilliard, and it's quite the drive. But we always have a great time when we do. Highly recommend!!
Great music with the band "Stadium 11" doing a Journey tribute last night. Food was good and the place was packed due to the awesome band, I'm sure. There was a $10 cover, which was totally worth it to see this band!
Very juicy American burger. Found the onion rings and tater tots greasy. They absorbed whatever oil they used, so not much flavor beyond that oil. Would return for the burger.
