We had a wonderful experience here! I really appreciate that there’s no admission fee, allowing you to simply pay for the activities you choose—and the prices are very reasonable. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and our kids had such a great time. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for families to relax and enjoy themselves.
The food is ok, definitely could use some flavor. In my opinion it wasn't worth the price. The ice cream and cheese curds are good. They now have rides but I have two kids with a significant age gap. I was told my older child couldn't go in the play area that my younger child could go ( one of the few things he could do there). There was only one thing they could do together. So we weren't able to do much and it was very disappointing. The kids enjoyed the animals though.
I had an absolute blast here!!! I went for the first time the other day and who knew all the awesomeness that was there to experiance! A Carousel, Feeding Goats, All the pumpkins you can imagine, and not to mention the delicious Ice Cream!! 10/10 Recommend!
Such a fun fall activity! We got the adult wristbands and did the cornmaze, wagon ride, carousel, put put, and driving range. A very fun way to spend time with friends! (There is a foul smell on the right side of the farm due to sewage water they use to water their Christmas trees…so consider that).
It's a little pricey but worth it!! The staff is amazing and we already know the ice cream speaks for its self!! They have tons of stuff for the kids to do!! Its a great time, you won't be disappointed 😉
Great family fun. We made a trip here and played putt putt, saw the animals, and got some ice cream. There’s a lot of other activities that were closed for the night when we got there but we will be back again to try them out. A lot of ice cream flavors and options. There was also food available.
Very fun place! Farm animals, carousel, put put, wonderful breakfast, and delicious ice cream. You can see some of the process of cheese being made. Gift shop, baked goods. I taste tested a piece of cider bread and it was so good! You can also sample as many flavors of ice cream as you'd like. Plenty of seating and the lines move fast! They get very busy but there is plenty of parking. When the lot is full there is additional parking in the grass offered as well. Great for dates, or for family fun.
My daughter had a company picnic there she invited us. They served youngs ice-cream i loved the peanut butter ice cream very very good. Petting animals and feeding them the gramd kids loved. Batting cages were great. Everything there was nice! Prices reasonable. One the food. Not sure on anything else cuz everything was paid for by company. I highly recommend.

Slide 1 of 8
A beautiful hike at Clifton Gorge the other day with my two best friends. Our GPS on Google took us to this small parking lot right next to a neighborhood. The sign said "high crime area do not leave valuables in vehicles". My vehicle was ok when we were finished with our hike. Also no dogs allowed on this trail. The pictures do this area no justice. This trail is beautiful. I think we started at the perfect spot. There were spots along the wood trail to look out at the gorge. And some spots on the trail were fairytale-like. When we came to the stairs there was a nature center with two porta potties. It was nice to come across a restroom in the middle of your hike. We decided to go down the stairs and follow that trail then come back up on the north rim trail. This hike had all the things that I enjoy while taking in nature.
As I stepped into the nature preserve for the first time, I was filled with curiosity and a hint of apprehension. The sign warning of a high crime rate had made me uneasy, but I decided to push those thoughts aside. With no particular expectations, I wandered into the lush expanse that unfolded before me. To my delight, the preserve proved to be absolutely breathtaking. Cascading waterfalls echoed through the trees, their waters glistening in the sunlight as they tumbled over moss-covered rocks. The air was fresh, infused with the earthy scent of damp soil and blooming wildflowers, and the vibrant greenery all around was a feast for the eyes. As I strolled along the winding trails, I was captivated by the picturesque scenery—sunlight filtering through the canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the path below. It was a serene escape from the worries of daily life, and despite my initial concerns, I felt a profound sense of peace washing over me. In that moment, the beauty of nature held my undivided attention, easily eclipsing any fears I had about the area.
Peaceful walk through beautiful woodland trails beside the river. Went midweek middle of the day. Easy parking a short stroll from Clifton Mill where you can get a hearty breakfast before hitting the trails. We went late May after a very wet spring so there was lots of white water creating stunning views down the gorge. There are plenty of look outs to take your photos. Some trails are easy others needed sturdy footwear and good balance as rocky path is quite slippery after the rain.
No pets??? This nature preserve has decent natural views, but is lacking in basic groundskeeping and maintenance. It seems the State course to invest more in the fancy signs at the entrance than the actual trail itself. Uneven and unkempt trails, no trash/recycling, and no pets allowed?? Do better!
The trails are beautifully maintained, clean, and easy to explore, making it an enjoyable outing. I particularly loved photographing the wildlife—the area is teeming with diverse species and offers plenty of opportunities to capture nature at its finest. The scenery along the gorge is stunning. That said, the stairs on the gorge trails are quite steep and can be challenging without the right footwear. I plan to return with proper shoes to fully enjoy everything the preserve has to offer.
This nature preserve is stunning. If you are in the area, please don't miss it. It's amazing that you can be driving through cornfields and all of a sudden there's this! Be aware that the lower trail is a little more precarious and lots of rocks. Can be very slick if it has just rained. The upper trail is very easy to do. This preserve connects to the John Bryant State Park so if you want to make the trail longer you can head into the park. Today the flowers are beautiful. Every time I go there are different flowers blooming. Even if you only have a short time, you should still go here. Worth every minute.
If you love Hocking Hills like I do you'll love it here. Great easy trail, no litter and spectacular views!
Words can not describe how beautifull this park it. The parking is close and convenient, and the trails are clean and well kept.

Visited Glen Helen Nature Preserve recently, and it was an amazing experience! The trails are well-maintained and offer a peaceful escape into nature. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, waterfalls, and unique rock formations. The Cascades waterfall was definitely a highlight, and the Raptor Center was a nice surprise, offering a chance to see rescued birds up close. The trails are mostly shaded, making it a great spot for a relaxing hike. Some paths are a bit rugged, so good hiking shoes are recommended. Parking was easy to find, and the entry fee is minimal but goes toward conservation efforts, which is great. Overall, Glen Helen is a fantastic spot for hiking, photography, or just unwinding in nature. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Yellow Springs area!
Nice trails and beautiful scenery. Very clean and well kept grounds. Different level hike difficulties available by following different trails. Family friendly
This spot is amazing spot to go for a hike. They have over twenty five trails and multiple mini waterfalls. There are lots of massive rocks and I mean like ten foot and up rocks. The trails are like 6.5 out of 10 difficulty. I’d wear hiking boots but no need for a helmet. There are points where things can get rocky and slippery but just walk carefully and everything should be gucci. There are lots of diverse flowers, greenery, and fauna along the trails. I also went long boarding on their trail just outside the preserve. They have nice wide paved trails for biking and skating. I highly recommend visiting this spot if you enjoy the outdoors.
Truly one of my favorite places on earth, there is nothing better than a sunrise visit to glen helen. I lived in yellow springs for 5 years in my early twenties, and now I love taking my best friend Teri hiking at the glen as it has become his favorite place as well. He has chronic health issues and when we come here all our our worries slip away. Thank you for doing such an amazing job of preserving the nature and wildlife that continues to thrive here. It gives for pure beauty and healing experiences for everyone who is lucky enough to visit the glen.
Glen Helen is always beautiful, my buddy and I went hiking out there yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful. I've been hiking in the Glen since college in 1993. This park is in immaculate shape. They always keep the trails nice. It is a beautiful place to spend time with family or friends on the weekend hiking.
It's an incredible place 😍 ! The river is fantastic 👌 👏, I am delighted with the beauty I saw. It seems like I am in a fairy tale! The nature here is very charming, and there are also small waterfalls!
Tons of interesting mushroom finds. I suggest going on a weekday wayyyyy less busy than the weekend. Beautiful waterfalls also. Parking is $10 but you can park other places near by for free. Lots of photo opportunities!
Yellow springs in a magical place full of culture and talent!! This state park is beautiful with its water falls to historic rock stairs. Pet friendly and a great way to get grounded and hug a tree!! $10.00 parking

Went camping for two nights at the campground during a big snow storm. Despite the snow and it being January, there was running potable water and a heated bathroom with showers open. The ranger in the park office was super super friendly and helpful when we reserved a campsite. And the hiking trails are so well marked and beautiful. What a great state park.
Hiked part of the North Rim Trail and also part of the Pittsburgh - Cincinnati Stage Coach loop. We also ended up on a trail under some cliffs that I don't believe was a true trail but found a little waterfall at the end before we climbed (not too far) back up to the rim trail. The trails were well maintained but always watch your step around tree roots. If you enjoy the water the Pittsburgh - Cincinnati trail runs along the water. The water was sparkling in the sun today. It was beautiful. This trail also gives you awesome views of the cliffs from below and some huge moss covered boulders. John Bryan State Park has a disc golf course and a playground near the Storybook Trail. And of course several trails to explore. Dogs are permitted as long as they are on a leash, except in the nature preserve areas. Signs were posted and it is clear to see where dogs are not allowed.
Lot's of hiking and maybe spot some deer. The river is awesome,but no swimming or wading. I did see few people fishing. Restrooms are clean. Did see some signs for camping. Park also has heavy rain and storm shelters. It is an absolutely beautiful place. I was there at the end of July.
Great hiking! Hills, rocky terrain by water with falls. $10 to park. Moderate hike. I’d not recommended for those with balance issues. Near Yellow Springs for drinks or shopping.
This place is absolutely wonderful for a peaceful walk. The walking trail is scenic and well-maintained, making it ideal for nature lovers. It leads to a charming bridge, and on our recent visit, we even spotted a snake along the way — always something interesting to see! There’s also a playground for children, which is a great bonus for families. Personally, I love the swings — a simple but enjoyable touch. We almost always see deer here, which adds to the serene and natural atmosphere. Overall, it’s an amazing and calming spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors. Highly recommended for a quiet escape into nature.
Beautiful area to hike! Nicely maintained trails along both sides of the gorge with great views of the river, with lots of rapids and a few small falls.
I came here with a psychology camp from Cedarville University, and it was so fun! We enjoyed the views, and had lots of fun conversations. 10/10 would recommend coming here!
It's been years since my last visit and it is so beautiful. The hiking trail we took was clear, clean and well managed. Truly wonderful!💜

This was a cool brewery in what I thought was a really cool town. The staff was friendly but quick since they had a lot of customers to deal with, but they kept things moving. The bar was comfortable and the beer was good. The House Beer was my personal favorite, and it had some tart, funky notes you don’t taste too often. I had a good time, but I’d like to stay longer next time.
Nice quaint atmosphere with really good beers. Every beer I had was really delicious. All the patrons were super friendly and struck up interesting conversations with me and I really enjoyed my time there! Highly recommend! Oh and the bars are made from old bowling alley lanes, kind of interesting ..
I love this place. I’ve loved it since the day they opened. Great beer. Friendly staff. Good rotation of food trucks. And it’s right on the bike trail! Try the Raspberry Springer!
Yellow Springs Brewery is a true highlight of any trip to Yellow Springs and a perfect stop if you’re biking along the Little Miami Bike Trail—the brewery is located directly off the trail, making it an ideal destination for a mid-ride break or a relaxing post-ride reward. For parking, you can either park in their lot located off of N Walnut Street or park in the public parking lot across from the brewery and bike trail, which is only a short walk. Their beer selection is outstanding, and I can’t recommend enough the Raspberry Springer, a deliciously tart and refreshing option; the Entheonaut, a smooth and flavorful Hefeweizen with classic banana and clove notes; and Zoetic, a beautifully balanced pale ale that’s crisp, citrusy, and endlessly drinkable. Whether you’re into fruit-forward beers, traditional styles, or hoppy options, you’ll find something here to love. One of the best parts of Yellow Springs Brewery is the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. This is a place where everyone is welcome, and it shows in both the energy of the space and the diversity of the patrons. There’s plenty of seating both inside and on their large patio, which has a relaxing view of the bike trail and is dog-friendly, too! You’ll often find food trucks on-site, offering tasty rotating options, and there are always snacks like chips available for purchase if you want something light to pair with your drink. Another thing I love: they’re always brewing something new. Whether it’s your second visit or your tenth, chances are high you’ll find a fresh new beer to try—either just tapped or in the works. For non-beer drinkers, they also offer alcoholic ciders, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, making it a great spot for everyone in your group. All in all, Yellow Springs Brewery nails it on every level—great beer, awesome people, a relaxed and inclusive vibe, and a perfect location. If you’re anywhere near Yellow Springs, this place should absolutely be on your list.
Exceptional beer here. They know what they are doing. Best in town. Yellow Spring Brewery is on the Ohio bike trail. Road trip worthy. Talented brewers. We enjoyed ever beer style we tried here. Flanders Red Ale is amazing. Their hazy juicy East Coast IPS is enjoyable and is not too hoppy.
Although YSB has been a favorite spot for a very long time, today I was compelled to finally write a review. The staff, as always, are so welcoming, knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly! The options available are for every palate. Outdoor seating along the bike path is always relaxing. Overall, the vibe is perfect for having a drink or two with friends or a date! Highly recommend if in the area!
This plays absolutely rocks! The people there were so friendly and nice! The beer was amazing! This is an absolute must. You're going to go to Yellow Springs, to be truthful. It's well worth the ride. Into yellow Springs alone. I cannot wait to go back.
They desperately need a larger beer garden / taproom. Everyone and their mother rushes to this place on the weekends. Have visited multiple times, even on a weekday, and always feel crowded out. Beer is okay, maybe a bit overrated for how popular they are. I’ve never had a beer here that really knocked my socks off

Recently I photographed an intimate wedding at Yellow Springs Ohio's Little Art Theatre. The staff was friendly and prepared for the small gathering. The ceremony took place on the stage where movies are shown. Thanks!
Remarkable gem where it's a social experience on top of a great movie. Meet your neighbors (seriously, we were surrounded by neighbors), and have Q&A/trivia after a thought provoking film. Beautiful buttered popcorn, cocktails, brews etc. Since the renovations a few years back the seats are beyond comfortable and classy, the sound is top notch, and while the screen isn't IMAX enormous it's appropriate for the venue and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The film lineup is unique and carefully chosen so you're seeing movies that matter. Drop in on anything and you'll walk out feeling and thinking just a little bit differently. Very good stuff. Thanks for the experience Little Art Theater!
Went to see the movie Thrust. Was a amazing post apocalyptic film where women rule the world. Whats better than this? Well nothing is that's what. If you see it in your town go see it and if your in yellow springs go check out the Little Art Theatre it awesome.
Amazing place, was even able to step inside and talk to some of the employees. I was very impressed with the set up and what they’re capable of doing.
Wonderful experience! They have updated the lobby and restrooms and added a lovely selection of unusual snacks and beverages to the lobby. All this, and they maintained the original artwork in the theater and retro, eclectic ambience of this charming art theater. Staff are warm and sincere. I have seen many films here and have never sat through one I disliked.
This place is so cute. It is an older theater but very well kept and clean. They sell beer and cocktails at the concession stand as well as chocolate and popcorn too! Great place to go on a date or see a movie with friends. I highly recommend this place. It's a beautiful theater.
A great old little theatre with lots of history very injoyable and a very good show
Last night was my second visit & I love this place. It is a clean, reasonably priced, the movie selection is wonderful too, nice variety of snacks & beverages. I highly recommend. Thank-you Little Art Theatre. ❤️

Say hi to Spooky, the resident black cat who took over for another legendary black cat named Mister Eko after his passing as the bookstore's mascot and main attraction. The number of interesting finds here is endless. If you're a sci-fi nerd, comic book lover, or simply a fan of used books, prepare to be in heaven. This place is so special to my husband and I. It was even a part of our engagement.
This place is excellent! There’s spooky my pookie 💕 And they have manga too! I came here every day on my YS visit to get books and pet the cat 🐈‍⬛ they also have a great selection of earrings specifically children’s book earrings which I adore 💗 I got like 5 different pairs they’re all cute 🥰 if worker sees this tell spooky that Malone and cohen said hi :)
A wonderful bookshop with a wide variety of used, collectible, and diverse books plus unique and affordable gifts. And the fact they have an in-store cat makes this one of the top bookstores in Ohio for a cat lover like myself. Coffee + breakfast burrito at Underdog cafe next door followed by browsing the stacks here is a sublime Sunday morning date.
Enjoyed this place. Small, well curated selection of new books. And the used ones are classics with some vintage books thrown in. T shirts with kids' lit illustrations. Scooby Doo gumballs. Pokemon stickers. Fun vinyl stickers for adults ("Give Bees A Chance"), lots of stuff for kids. You could browse here for hours. I will be back.
This place is wonderful! Tons of books at great prices. Also, they have a very friendly cat :) He greeted me and kindly accepted pets as soon as I entered! Also, the workers were very nice and kind.
The coolest bookstore I've been to. Lots of new and vintage books. Tons of comics,manga,etc. Something for everyone. Can't wait to come back and spend more money. 🤗
The quintessential book store experience, lots of old and newer books to choose from, including comics as well. Also a modest selection of table top gaming products. Above all else there is an adorable cat that wanders the shop.
This is my favorite bookstore anywhere! They have new and used books, comics books, coloring books, games, buttons, stickers, puzzles, cards, and so much more! I love looking through all the treasures. The employees are super friendly and so is the store Kitty, Spooky! The bookstore is a fixture in Yellow Springs and a must-see. We shop there every time we visit Ohio from Florida. When we’re home, we shop their eBay and Facebook 😄

Even before I became a member of the Village Artisans co-op, I have always loved the Village Artisans shop and anytime we came to yellow Springs for a street fair or otherwise, we never missed visiting the Village Artisans!

From classical to contemporary fine art, paintings, printmaking, mixed media, photography, glass works, jewelry, pottery, textile art, painted gourds, and a plethora of cool small creations like neat magnets. We also have a large selection of cards to meet all your card needs. Plus, they have also have a small lobby gallery exhibit with a rotating show throughout the year that is always wonderful to see.🤗
Great place to find unique art, jewelry, quilts, glass, gourd art, etc open daily! . VA hosts exhibits monthly and the Art-on-the-Lawn Art Show every 2nd Saturday of August at Mills Lawn Elementary School grounds in Yellow Springs. Sign up if you're an artist or come shop!
Fantastic art-gallery in town that many artists can feature their work at/in. All kinds of artwork are featured here, and the eclectic array of goods only adds to the allure of the gallery. Beautiful stuff here.
This is a great shop to pick up hand made gifts made by local artists!
Interesting mix of art and we actually bought a print from a etching.
Somewhat pricey, yet some unique items to be found.

Love love love House of Ravenwood. The employees are always friendly and the merchandise is always unique and properly priced. I am there so much it is like a home away from home. Such a peaceful atmosphere.
What a beautiful shop! House of Ravenwood is full of amazing specimens and magical treasures, and the atmosphere is absolutely captivating. The staff are super friendly and helpful, making it easy to browse and find pieces that truly call to you. Such a wonderful spot—I’m so glad I stopped in!
For your pagan/wiccan/spiritual needs. Awesome little shop. Great selection of crystals, candles, books, incense, spell kits, oils, ritual tools and more.
I've been collecting crystals for 5 years roughly, and I always get them here. Love the collection, staff is knowledgeable. I hope they can find a good buyer who will continue to run the store; it would be such a shame to lose it!
The male employee hovered over us the whole time as though he was afraid we would pocket items. The shop was super neat but we felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. We will likely find a friendlier store next time instead.
I travel from Columbus to go to the shop because they have such an amazing selection and you cannot beat the prices. the staff are very knowledgeable and are always helpful when seeking out specific items
My favorite crystal, book, home goods shop ever. Always so lovely. Thank you for everything you've been all these years

Beautiful unique handmade pieces! Each piece with the crystal glaze is subtle and stunning and unique. Each piece would be perfect for a gift to be treasured. Every piece in this establishment is hand thrown and glazed by an artist. You can not go wrong with whatever you select. Enjoy!
Loved this pottery place! The very helpful man behind the counter, Brad, explained the various firing techniques for some of the pieces that we were looking at. He told us how some patterns were made, and he pointed out some pieces that we had never seen. If you would like some beautiful pieces, this is the place to go!
I didn't buy anything, but they have a nice assortment of pottery.
Now this is a place that has lots of local pottery from the simple to the fancy. This pottery you can use but it's also great pieces of art as well.
I'm going to Yellow Springs, Ohio. They have the best rehab facility I've ever seen. I had a brain infection in 2016 and I'm learning to walk again. I'm praying for this miracle!!
I love pottery and always looking for local pieces. Bought a beautiful rice bowl complete with chopsticks. So pretty!!

Very cute shop! They have a great selection of silver pieces. Many unique lines of jewelry with different styles. Even more unusual jewelry such as stalagmite earrings, which were gorgeous! I purchased a lovely pair of moonstone drop earrings. The woman working was very helpful and kind. As well, the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back again!
I love the jewelry and the air conditioning in the June heat. I used to love coming here, but the lady that works there has such a bad attitude. When you ask her to look at something (very politely) she gets annoyed and then even more annoyed when you ask if there are other sizes. Oh and if you ask to look at more than one thing you again feel like an annoyance. I get feeling burnt out, but it didn’t make me feel welcome or like I could take up space in the store. I just leave feeling like crap the last several times I’ve been in. I thought maybe the mood would pass in her, but it is the same everytime.
Went to this store without any expectations. I love jewelry so my husband encouraged me to go in. I was so surprised by the extensive inventory and especially the prices! The lady who works there is very knowledgeable about their buying and the jewelry. It is organized in a great way by stone types. I believe most everything I saw is sterling silver. I was able to send my best friend some pictures of some items so that I could buy her something special. Everything I looked at was priced very reasonably. I purchased three things, two for myself. If you are looking for sterling silver jewelry with genuine stones, I highly recommend this store! You will be glad you went. Most of all, I think anyone would be very pleased with the selection and the prices!
Absolutely one of my most favorite jewelry stores to not only window shop, but actually go in and and purchase some of the beautiful pieces they have available. Thank you, Ohio Silver for making Yellow Springs that much more unique with your beautiful and unusual works of art.
Horrible customer service. Had full intentions of buying a gift for my wife for our anniversary. Even stated that to the lady working today 23 Sept 2025. I needed to use the restroom and then I will purchase a gift for my wife. She wouldn't let me use their restroom. How can businesses treat people like this and stay in business. I've purchased jewelry before from here but never again.
I used to love it here! Every time I come back home to visit, I always stop in here and usually buy something. However, the lady inside wouldn't even speak to me or acknowledge me but was very talkative and helpful to a local who was just in looking. You lost a sale and any in the future from me. I was so disappointed. At least your dog loved me and gave me more attention. Plus, I see I'm not the only one who received the snub end of this ladies attitude. Do better!
I live in AZ now but was born and raised in Yellow Springs. I wanted another pair of the same earrings that l had previously bought several times from them so I called for assistance. I tried twice, with two different employees, and even sent photos of the earrings in question. Neither of them got back to me. I’ve shopped at Ohio Silver since it opened way back when - but I will NEVER shop there again! Zero stars.
I love this place. There's a huge selection of jewelry that doesn't make me break out and the attendants are always knowledgeable, swift, and courteous.

The most spectacular Covered Bridge in Green County, OH. There is parking opposite the Riding Center on E Hyde Road. From there it is a 7 minute (beautiful) walk to the Bridge. But you can also park on the West side of the Bridge and take pictures and then take the stairs for another shot. It is a Howe through truss bridge over Little Miami Scenic Trail on E Hyde Road
I've biked under this covered bridge several times, but, not through it, yet. While I can't speak to it's functionality then, I'm guessing it's goal was aesthetics and beauty which it succeeds. Biking rail trails can transport one back to an age when this land was served by steam and iron. Approaching the bridge, a biker can imagine hearing the clip clop of horse and buggy. It is obviously maintained by people who care.
A very cool covered bridge spanning a bike trail in Yellow Springs. Definitely worth checking out of your cruising in the area
Beautiful bridge over the bike path. Built in 2014. There is a very small area to pull off. Be aware of the traffic coming around the corner.
Beautiful new covered bridge that you can drive across. You cannot park near it however. If you like covered bridges it is worth a fairly short walk. The trees surrounding the bridge make taking a good picture nearly impossible.
Pretty cool covered bridge. Just recently built in 2014. Not sure how they came up with the funding, since covered bridges are really expensive. A great addition to the tourist attractions in the area. You can drive across the bridge, and ride under it on the Little Miami scenic trail.
Beautiful covered bridge in great shape. Fun to roam over trail below.
Need a place to see on a cold winter day, check out this covered bridge. You can drive through the bridge. It is in really good shape. The construction is really neat with all the suspension braces in wood. Nice place to visit.

I shop here for toys for all the children in my family and I have often found things for myself and my business! This toy shop is full of unique, exciting, educational, and sustainable toys that you would not find at your everyday toy shop! The selection has been thoughtfully curated to spark joy and curiosity in children and adults alike. I especially like their brain teasers, wind up toys, and educational features! Thank you for hours of stimulating play!
LarderRoom...Found the cutest little toy store in Yellow Springs. Toys from the floors to the ceilings. You have to enter the building up a few stairs but after that it's all located on one floor. You can find everything from educational toys to old-school candy. The prices seem a little high, but I guess that's the price to pay if you want to play! The staff was kind and the store is clean with tons of cold AC.
Great toy store! A must visit. Exceptional use of store space. Outstanding knowledge of the toys, the companies and things like “that company donates to children’s charities”. This is the place you find that unique or vintage toys for the kid (adult? Haha) that has it all! Oh yeah! Grab a pouch of pop rocks on your way out! Why not!
This is one of my favorite places. It's super tiny but packed full of so many fun and adorable things. I found the cutest pens and decorations for my work desk and my daughter just loves going in there and finding fun little things.
Really cool lots of toys old and new kinda small inside but worth visiting
Love the store layout. Very pleasant, with interesting items at every turn. Latest love, the Klee girls mineral makeup. (For Mom’s too) soft colors, nice for all complections.
This new toy store is a fantastic edition to the Yellow Springs strip. A fabulous, and carefully thought out selection of toys meant for a range of ages. The store is well laid out and easy to browse, even with little ones! There are plenty of inexpensive choices making a quick inspired visit that doesn't break the bank. This will be my go-to store for any local birthdays and parties.
This store had so many things even though it was small. The cashier was very kind and talked about the product. Though it is a toy shop, I really recommend adult going to it because of all the trinkets. I bought some really fun pens!!! And it was super expensive.
