40 Best Stops Between Charleston and Mackinaw City (2025)

12 lists

Always stop here on my way through West Virginia. I did a history/mystery tour yesterday and absolutely loved it. It had the perfect mix of paranormal and history to keep the whole tour interesting for everyone. Tina was an amazing tour guide. She made the whole thing engaging.

One of the coolest stops on our trip. We really like a lot of the ghost shows on TV and this is one of the places that a lot of those groups come. Even though we just did the 90 minute guided tour it was really cool to see and hear about all the things that went on in the prison while it was in use. Our guide Lee was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions and tell stories about things that have happened there. If you are ever in the area and have a chance this is definitely a worth while stop. The mound that the native tribes built is right across the street from here as well and is another worth while stop. It's almost like a two for one deal since they are so close.

We took a girls road trip up to West Virginia penitentiary, and it was every bit worth the 5 Hour drive.We opted for the 10 AM historic Tour with Rowan (he is FANTASTIC ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ) I don’t wanna go into too much but the group we were with and Rowan’s overall knowledge of WVP was phenomenal. He made us laugh, he told us great stories, he was able to answer a lot of our questions and was an overall pleasure.The historic tour was informative, however, if you have time and you can stay the night, the group we were with did the paranormal/ghost tour I think or it’s called a flashlight tour, but you get to go in some better parts of the prison than just doing the historic daytime tour. Overall, I can’t wait to come back!

My boyfriend and I just returned home from a trip and did a 90 minute day time walking tour with a group of 10 with our tour guide Jason. I've wanted to visit for a few years and I got so much more than what I was expecting. Jason was a wealth of information and allowed plenty of time between rooms to walk around. He was happy to answer questions and had follow-up stories to go along with them. He was even nice enough to point us in the right direction for lunch in town. The historical tour and gift shop are absolutely worth it, the building is still gorgeous, and the grounds are still alive. Fascinating place.

This is a must see if you are anywhere in the area. My husband is retired Law Enforcement with a couple of those years in Corrections; my son is a CO and step son is a jailer. So tours like this are always intriguing to me! The history in the walls of this gothic building is amazing. Our tour guide Lee, was a CO previously (not in this prison obviously) and has a degree in history that is now the historian at the WV Penitentiary so I felt like we got the best guide!The gift shop offers reasonably priced souvenirs and the admission price for the regular tour is worth the fee. They offer senior and military discounts.

J was a fantastic tour guide. The place is beautiful, and very interesting to learn the history. I recommend everyone who can goes to visit the Moundsville State Penn.

Great tour that lasted almost 2 hours. Guide was very knowledgeable about structure and innate history. If in area you must stop

What an amazing experience!! Our tour guide Garrett was so knowledgeable and answered all questions we had. His attention to detail was awesome. He left nothing out no matter how gruesome. I would highly recommend this tour.

I stopped for a guided tour on a Saturday late afternoon in May. The tour guide was Tina and she was very good. She was knowledgeable and had a strong voice - there were about 40 people in the group and probably half of them were kids so at times there was some noise for her to talk over and a lot of moving around. She shared a lot of info and very much painted a vivid picture of things that happened in this prison. I found it very informative. I didn’t see any ghosts but I wasn’t really looking for any. Some areas felt a little unnerving and it smelled different in there - not sure exactly how to describe that but it was a noticeable scent. Water was dripping from the ceiling in spots - it had rained earlier in the day. I’d have liked to been with a smaller group and seen more but that might be available in one of the special after hours tours. You can find info on that on the website. Also, there is an Indian burial mound directly across the street with a archaeological museum which I didn’t realize until I pulled up. Plenty of parking in the street and in a small lot. I booked ahead online and would recommend doing that.

This place was awesome and our tour guide was very knowledgeable! Loved that we were able to explore on our own after the tour!

Such a fascinating place. Beautiful architecture and a very interesting history.. There are guided and non guided tours. You can also spend the night in one of the old, very eerie jail cells! Loved my visit

A wonderful and fascinating tour! Jalynn was a fantastic narrator with witty and informative answers to all questions and commentaries. Definitely recommend for a visit!

Terri was great! Got the tour group signed in quickly and then spent time giving additional details about historical items in the gift shop/museum entry and other sites in the area. And luckily, this is one prison entry that doesn't require a strip search!Garrett was the guide, and is a wealth of knowledge on the prison and former inmates. Garrett is funny, and has lots of stories to share.I would recommend buying tickets online prior to visiting. They offer a variety of different types of tours and they fill up fast!

Jay was an amazing tour guide for our trip to the WV penitentiary! Definitely the best tour we took on our trip and at the best price, too! Lots of history and interesting stories to hear all while soaking in all that there is to see and experience!

Awesome day tour!! Learned alot for our tour guide. Would like to come back someday to do the extended tour!

While traveling in the area we had some time to kill, found this place very interesting , Our guide-jason was absolutely awesome,great job👌, just wish we could have seen more of the prison ,otherwise- excellent tour👌 would absolutely love to do a night tour of this place we,ll be back again !

Lee guided a great tour! He told the history in a way that made it interesting and fun! I will definitely be back for other tours! Thank you for the great experience!

First things first- This prison is on an Indian burial ground. So If that’s not going to sit right with your spirit, soul, or conscious, I may say skip this one. Also for the majority of the tours there is lots of walking and lots of stairs , so be prepared. This prison is said to be extremely haunted, and full of rich scary history. We took the nighttime north walk tour during Halloween. Very creepy experience! We got the abridged version of the max security area, and some fun scary anecdote’s. Our guid seemed knowledgeable, answered all the group questions, and kept us entertained. Definitely a must see if you’re in the area!

What an awesome place to see and learn about. Mandy was exceptional to move my groups tickets to the next hour of the day. And Tina, our guide, she was exceptional as well, even though she had laryngitis. I hope she got better since last Saturday when we saw her.If you wanna go on a great tour….come here and be a part of it!!!!!!!!!

This place is amazing. Soooooooo much information was given by our guide. I’ve done tours elsewhere and while they were informative too, the guide we had here is one in a million. She gave so much history and info but also made it fun. Her name is Jaylynn and she is a true gem. She interacted with all of the guests and nailed it as a guide. Hopefully when I get in this area and come back again she will be our guide again.Absolutely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Mother Daughter road trip 2024

This place is amazing. So much to see and learn. Our tour guide Jason was extremely informative, helpful and knowledgeable.Highly recommend. Great job!

Pros: Absolutely beautifully done masonry; very clean, yes, really! Friendly and pleasant staff.Cons: Smaller than I thought, a lot of noise contamination if there are probably more than 30 people in the building; for tours not a problem, but for paranormal investigation, a big problem :)I recommend you visit the place at least once and decide! Been there a few times, not much activity regarding paranormal events at any time; however, I visit these sorts of places for the history aspect over paranormal investigations. I have been investigating for decades, but history is my first true love!Visit this place at least one if you do love history, masonry, etc. you shall not be disappointed!

If you like history, put WVP Moundsville on your list of stops for sure. The 90-minute guided tour was really informative and fascinating. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraged questions. You get to see a lot of the old facilities first-hand, including the mess halls, cell blocks, infirmary, visitation areas, psych ward, yard, and even the infamous dungeon-like "Sugar Shack". Although the Execution House was removed years ago, "Old Sparky" is still on display and our guide did a nice job of describing some of the history of the gallows and even some gruesome debacles that occurred there. This is a VERY old facility that is deteriorating daily, so pay attention to their guidance and rules. Take your time on stairs and walkways as they are often uneven and in disrepair. Summer heat definitely takes its toll on the body, so bring plenty of fluids. Our only complaint on our tour was that someone brought a small dog on a retractable leash that they did not keep close enough to them and the dog almost tripped people several times on the walks and stairs, but that was not the fault of WVP as it is their policy to allow leashed dogs for travelers. If they ever open the Administration Offices section of the North Block for touring, we will definitely want to see that!

Awesome tour our guide J was amazing she was very informative and fun to talk to hope to tour and visit again highly recommend. Oh and we caught some interesting things on camera and video we have been criticizing it but they were interesting!

It's an amazing place so much history and so many events! They have all sorts of haunting tours, paranormal convention all year but of course during October is the most popular.I was personally there for the Locked Up Tattoo convention and Dark Carnival. I absolutely loved it!!!! I highly recommend attending if ever given the opportunity.

Lee was an excellent tour guide! This prison has a lot of history and it’s very interesting. I’m very great full to have gotten to tour the location before the close of the season. There is no hear so in cooler months be sure to dress for the out side temperature.

Very neat historical tour. Enjoyed the museum at the beginning that held a ton of old documents, personal accounts and old newspaper articles about the prison. It was also interesting to learn three men would have to share a 5x7 room for 22 hours a day and then getting to walk through the actual cells. Very educational and interesting to walk the grounds. No paranormal activity what so ever and the groups were large. Also wish there was an option to see more of the prison that didn’t cost over $100.

I have been twice for the tattoo convention, Locked up. It's always a good time. Location is clean and accommodating to the artists, vendors and guests! I'll come back every year!

We did the History Mystery paranormal tour Monday and it was very cool! We were just going through WV to TN for vacation and decided to stop and pre purchased tickets. I'd highly recommend visiting :)

Super amazing place! They bring a bus to the parking lot to take you to the visitor center to check in. Tour busses are open air. Some of the animals come right up to the bus. They offer a variety of tours, you can horseback ride and also zip line. They take amazing care of the animals. You never know which animals you will see and which will come close. It's a different experience each time. The staff are super nice and informative. Midway through the tour you stop and there is a platform area to see the various carnivores through fenced enclosures and rest rooms. At the end they drop you off at a cafe and gift shop and you can wait for the next bus to bring you back to parking area. They run every 15 min it seems. They have over night lodging as well. Definitely worth the drive.

The Wilds is a wonderful experience. The open air busses [with canopies for shade] and the great breeze at that elevation made for a lovely ride. We saw most of the species, including giraffes - our guide, Alex, was excellent at finding good vantage points & her narration was interesting and fun. The carnivore center was such a nice break in the middle of the tour- we walked around elevated board walks to see Dholes, Cheetahs & African Painted Dogs. Our host at the Carnivore Center, Harley, was also very good @ answering questions and telling us all about the animals. There was also a snack counter for drinks and munchies and restrooms - both welcome in the middle of the 2 hr tour. Learning about the conservation efforts and the history of The Wilds was a bonus [we visited over 25 yrs ago when our kids were toddlers and the progress is nice to see]. All in all, we highly recommend a visit to the Wilds - well worth the tour fee.

What great Zoo experience! Worth the trip out of town to see the rare animals in a natural habitat. We did the standard bus tour and our guide was awesome, perfect way to enjoy a day.

We took the open air safari. It was a really neat experience. The animals were active and entertaining. Our guide was fantastic. She was a wealth of information. The tour takes about 2 hours. There is one stop about half way to look at cheetahs and dholes. There is food and a bathroom there. It was expensive, but worth it for the experience.

My visit to The Wilds in southeastern Ohio was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in a world of incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. Among the highlights of our trip, the close encounter with the majestic rhinos stood out. Seeing these magnificent creatures up close, their sheer size and gentle demeanor, was an awe-inspiring experience that I will cherish forever.The giraffe feeding session was another unforgettable moment. Watching these elegant giants stretch their long necks to gently take food from the branches was an experience that connected us to nature in a profound way. The joy and excitement on the faces of everyone, young and old, were truly heartwarming.Our tour guide, Rosie, was the cherry on top of this amazing adventure. Always happy, humorous, and informative, Rosie made the tour both educational and entertaining. Her passion for the wildlife and her engaging storytelling kept us captivated throughout the journey. Whether it was sharing fun facts about the animals or making us laugh with her witty remarks, Rosie’s presence enhanced our experience in every way.The Wilds is a hidden gem in southeastern Ohio that offers an extraordinary adventure for wildlife enthusiasts and families alike. I cannot recommend it enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable day out surrounded by nature and incredible animals, The Wilds is the place to be. Thank you, Rosie, and the entire team at The Wilds for making our visit a truly spectacular one!

Five is not enough stars. Phenomenal experience!! I made an error with my booking and they went above and beyond to make our trip work. The staff was so very caring and wonderful. The tours were amazing! The experience with the animals was absolutely top-notch. I am telling everyone I know to visit the Wilds. I will be returning next year!

My husband and I went on the sunset safari tour this past weekend. We had an amazing experience. Josh was a great tour guide. We got to stop and walk and watch a cheetah feed and was only feet away from all the animals. Such beautiful sights . After the ride we had a delicious buffet style meal that was very good and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals. We will definitely go back and stay there sometime.

We had a wonderful time at the Wilds! We took the Wild Side tour, which was amazing! Feeding rhinoceroses & a giraffe by hand is a thrilling experience if you’re an animal lover, like we are.Afterwards, we ate dinner at a special dining room reserved for guests of Nomad Ridge (those having an overnight reservation). I did not have high expectations for dinner after reading the reviews online, so I was very pleased when the quality of the food was excellent.My husband and I had the wild mushroom pasta with cream sauce, and it was very delicious! The couple traveling with us had the steak dinners, and the asparagus and potatoes were perfectly cooked, although the steak was a little overcooked, they said. They must have a new cook because dinner was excellent. They could improve on the dessert and breakfast offerings, however.We stayed overnight in a yurt, which was very comfortable, with fans & good AC. Near the yurts is a outdoor “lobby” with a fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and a wonderful view looking out at animals grazing near the lake below. They had nice touches like complementary hot chocolate & teas, as well as decent wine for purchase.We enjoyed it so much we plan to come back with our teenage kids!

Outstanding! We were able to feed the Rhinos and Giraffes and we got so close to many other animals. I love the Wilds- natural habitats, up close and personal, and their conservation efforts are second to none. Thank you for a great visit!

Very nice place to go individually, or with family. Many large bucks! Multiple different types of animals with variations within the species. Ian was our tour guide, very nice and knowledgeable. They have really neat cottages where you can spent the night in the wild around the animals, in a secure area of course.Don't forget to make reservations for the tour though! They'll work with you, but it makes it easier for their plannig.

The open-air safari tour was great. We had the very last open-air tour this season. Our guide Victoria, was full of energy and jokes. She made sure we had a great time, and she provided details about every animal we saw. She made sure we got a good view and enough time to see the animals. The Wilds is huge. We also got to know the research and conservation effort being taken place in this facility. The best time to visit is during the middle of the season to make sure you get to see all the exhibits.

The rolling hills,views all breathtaking. The conservation efforts are in full effect. Lots of endangered species are being given a second chance. I will say cell phone signal is very spotty out there. As you are in the middle of nowhere. So it's a good idea to have offline directions. We did the open air tour and was not disappointed.

Amazing... loved the experience. Our tour guide, can't remember his name, was great. He knew a lot about the animals. Even just the open expanse, rolling hills is beautiful. There's a bus that takes you from the parking lot to the building where you get on the tour bus, so there's very little walking. Our bus driver that took us back to the parking lot even dropped us off right at our car. Nice staff.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! To be honest, I wasn’t expecting “grand” when I saw the price but I was proven very wrong. We took our godbabies on the two hour open air tour and it was fantastic! Tour Guide Craig was funny and engaging!! Would definitely do it again! Worth the 2 1/2 hr drive up!

Best experience of my life. Was nearly overwhelming how much we got to see. There was a new surprise everywhere you looked. You’re able to get so close to the animals and it’s all made even better knowing it’s part of a conservation effort. Our staff guide/driver was AMAZING. She was extremely knowledgeable and just when we thought the tour was over, she heard the black rhinos were awake and we drove over to see them again. We even got to FEED them. It was an amazing surprise, I didn’t even know feeding rhinos was a thing. (Was my favorite part by far). The Wilds is an amazing organization and I’m lucky to have been able to visit.

The tour is fine. Most of animals you can find at any zoo in the US, but there was one which had China origins, and that can be cool to see especially if they walk close to the safari bus. My favourite ones were the ostrich and the rhinos because they were very friendly and approached to the bus. Our tour guide was nice, and also people working at the gift shop and the restaurant (there was just one restaurant working on a Wednesday). Just one thing, you will get full of dust during the ride!

The Wilds Conservancy is nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes and offers an incredible opportunity to witness animals in a vast and natural habitat. The expansive pastures provide an awe-inspiring backdrop as the animals roam freely, thriving in their native-like environments. The knowledgeable and entertaining guides bring the experience to life, delivering informative and engaging narratives with a touch of humor. The conservation efforts and dedication to education showcased by The Wilds Conservancy are commendable. Prepare to be amazed, enlightened, and inspired at The Wilds Conservancy – an unforgettable journey into the wonders of the natural world.

It was a lot of fun. We thought we would see more animals, but the way everything is set up is great and feels very safe for the people and the animals. Bring binoculars if you can! The animals are free roaming within their areas so they are sometimes far away.

What a great experience. I was on the open bus and we got up close and personal with the animals. The food was delicious. Go see the Lodge it is so nice. It is right along the lake.

This place is a must visit. Adults and kids all enjoyed. A very unique zoo that feels like Jurassic park. Lots of close up animals, beautiful scenery, wonderful staff, and overall a great experience. We did not regret the 1.5 drive from Columbus to visit. The drive is remote but enjoyable.I personally think it is much better than animal kingdom. Lots of different animals and just enjoyable.They do have great facilities with bathrooms, gift shops and a cafeteria. We stopped once during our tour to stretch our legs.

Such a wonderful experience. We did the Winter Wilds tour and it was fantastic. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and likable, and so passionate about animals. Her enthusiasm was contagious. The animal experiences were top notch and if I died tomorrow, I'd die happy knowing that I got to pet a baby rhino.

Great place in Southeastern Ohio to see endangered animals. The wilds specializes in helping to return species at risk of extinction to their native habitat. Very nice facilities, great staff and a fun and informative tour made for a wonderful day.

Wow! What an experience! Our tour guide was absolutely amazing! He knew so much! We learned a lot of new things about all kinds of different animals! The open air safari was so much fun! The animals come up so close and you definitely don't miss out on seeing anything! The safari bus is comfortable and not crowded and the view is great from anywhere!

Had an amazing experience here with my fiancée on September 30th. Paul W was our tour guide and he was fantastic. At one point, he involved the kids on our bus by allowing them to open certain gates. There were lots of animals to see, and there were even some wild bald eagles nesting in one of the trees right on the main route. Super cool place and definitely worth visiting.

Enjoyed the open space. Bus was loud as a bar weld became loose and kept rattling. Then another, empty bus was following our bus so those of us in the back couldn't hear what the driver was saying. Did see quite a few animals. Even though the site states to arrive early as the bus leaves promptly at the designated time, that is not true as our bus waited for a late arrival.

We’ve been twice now and highly recommend! Our first visit was for a sunset tour which was great, but left us wanting to get closer in a jeep tour.We did a 9am jeep tour with our guide, Rachel. She answered all our questions (I had a lot of questions) and really knew her stuff. We got to feed giraffes and rhinos which was so cool, and learn about the individual animals. I especially enjoyed the Przewalski's wild horses, watching them interact. Was disappointed the painted dog enclosure was being cleaned, best part of the sunset tour was watching them be fed, so appreciated our guide letting us see them from the back.Overall two great visits to the wilds and highly recommend a visit. Next I hope to do an overnight stay, many different tour options!

You must visit this park! The basic tour enables you to see many animals, but a more in-depth tour will provide memories for a lifetime. Truth be told, we did stay on-site and enjoyed our evening as well. We did the basic tour the first day, followed by the more in-depth tour the following morning. We are SO glad we splurged and stayed at Nomad Ridge. The experience was worth the expense.

There's nothing like bringing the Safari to Ohio! Unbelievable sights. Knowledgeable guides and volunteers! It is definitely a must-see. Open air safari ride had me in awe. DO THE FULL ZIPLINE!! You will not be disappointed!

Really enjoyed our experience, huge park with lots of beautiful views. Animals which we saw were close (most of the time) some on the road right by the buses which drove us through the area. Drive was of course a little shaky however they did stop for us to get lots of pictures.I have lived in Columbus for 30 years and only started hearing about “the wilds” just the past few, never knowing this was here!

If I could give more than five stars I would! My wife and I an awesome time taking their wildside tour. We were fortunate to go on a slower day and got the whole truck (and guide) to ourselves.Our guide Krista was super friendly and took lots of time to explain each animal and what the Wilds does to help with the population since most are endangered.The tour includes up close stops with all of their animals and lets you feed and pet some of them.They have a really nice waiting area, gift shop and resturant and everyone is super friendly. Highly recommend!

This was the best experience I could’ve ever asked for. Every employee was so nice, the yurt was clean, had an amazing view, the food was absolutely to die for & the tour guide was so nice and very informational during the whole open safari tour! 12/10 I’ll recommend this to everyone

The largest wild animal “zoo” in North America. Great experience there and, the tour guide is so knowledgeable answered all my questions.

I love that the animals have large areas to roam. You never know what you will see. Be aware that the road is quite bumpy. But I loved the experience!

It is a very nice place, I love the animals and it seems like they are very friendly.animals come close to the truck, which is good for us to take pictures of them. The crew are nice, too. Me and my kids have fun, and we really enjoyed the day we went there.

This place is amazing! Words cannot describe the area well enough. We took the bus tour and got to see most animals at a distance from the road. We stopped right next to the white rhinos, so cool to see so many at once 40+. I'd definitely go back but there's so many other places I want to see.

Did the winter safari which is a barn based tour. We toured 4 barns: hooved animals, Indian rhinos, African rhinos, and giraffes. We got to feed a rhino right from our hand! Like a horse! We also got to pet multiple rhinos, and we were lucky enough that there were multiple baby rhinos! The last stop was the giraffes, where we also fed and pet one of those. The tour guide was both personable and knowledgeable.

The Wilds was a fun experience! There is so much there. Camping, lodge, yurts. bike trail, open safari, private, horse tours. Also, zip lining, shopping, and food! All in one stop!

The Wilds was a very nice experience. To me, it felt like you were in their natural home due to the amount of space given to them. It doesn't have a lot of animals like a zoo, but that's ok. It's a preserve and I think it would take away from the experience if they had a lot of them.Go there to enjoy a laid back safari and knowledgeable guides.

Closest experience I will get to a safari. I LOVED feeding the rhino from the truck! Feeding the giraffes were an amazing experience! Oh, and the ostriches were up close and personal. KK, our guide, was a wealth of information! I had so much fun. 👍🏼

Our tour guide, Paul, gave us a very pleasant experience. He was very knowledgeable, could point out the animals by name, and answered everyone's questions. We went on a 10:30 tour and although it was chilly it was a good time because it wasn't super crowded and warmed up towards the middle of the day.

I Was gifted tickets to the Open Air Safari Tour and had an amazing time! Our Tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. There were so many amazing animals out roaming around some even walked right up to the Tour bus. There was baby boom happening this season and we got to see babies animals were everywhere. Definitely coming back to go on the other tours

We love the Wilds! We've been coming with family for years, but my husband and I decided to book a weekend at a yurt for our anniversary. We loved it! The yurt was clean. Loved our view! We didn't mind this, but it's worth noting that the animals are quite loud at night (at least they are in July). So some people may have difficulty sleeping. The concierge for the yurts was kind and helpful. Meals were tasty. They were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions. We also booked a Sunset Wildside tour and the long Zipline tour. Highly recommend both! Everything was great, and we'll be back!

Nothing short of spectacular! K.K. our tour guide was extremely informative and obviously loved her job. Up close and personal experience with the animals. Great day!

I plan this trip for a long time! Finally I made! Walking around museum from inside to outside and enjoying the beautiful artworks of the whole museum. You can spend whole day to explore beautiful life of this artist family!Experience the passionate and inspirational life of one of the most unique artists, Ernest “Mooney” Warther who hand-sculpted the evolution of the steam-engine! His wife buttons art collections are amazing! You have to be there to believe all the amazing works of Mr. and Mrs. Warther!

First visit was in 2010ish?2nd visit to attend friends wedding 2021.10.09Great place. Strongly recommended!Wish one day I will return w. my two kids. Dream will become true one day!

An absolute gem of a place that blew all of us away.We planned on stopping here on our way to tour some local wineries and wanted to spend an hour or so while waiting for them all to open. We ended up spending a lot more than an hour as we were absolutely captivated by the meticulous creations of both "Mooney" Warther and his wife.What an amazing place! Ernest, worked in a local steel mill and then made knives. He then started carving scale steam locomotives using wood and bone and later ivory. The museum shows off his works. Anyone who has an appreciation for steam locomotives and their history will want to spend time here. Anyone who has an appreciation for craftsmanship will want to spend time here as well. And if the trains are not enough, the button work that his wife did is almost as amazing - but there are significantly less works on display.I frequently found myself with my mouth literally hanging open as I realized the level of craftsmanship it took to make any of these models. Not only are they finely carved, but any piece that moved in real life, moves on the models. The museum guides tell you that Ernest invited railroad engineers to look over his completed models and tell him if they see any errors - and they could not find one thing out of place.The grounds are also nice to visit as well as the house that they lived in. I would recommend touring those before the actual museum as anything you do after the tour itself will feel like a letdown - and it's almost just as amazing.

Mr. Warther was a gifted carver and knife maker. His trains are incredibly detailed and all hand-carved to scale.

Amazing! He is truly the Master Carver. The time and skill that went into the detail made some amazing pieces of art. Thank you to our amazing tour guide!!!

This was my second visit and it didn't disappoint. Both visits featured guides who knew Mr Warther as children so additional insights were provided. I will go again with folks we bring up from Tennessee. It amazes me each time about this man's genius and vision.

Most fascinating museum with amazing collection of hand crafted trains, pliers, button art and arrowhead displays. WOWGreat gift shop, family home & gardens.

Guided tour. You can go at your pace. Ticket price is for the whole day. Amazing what that man could do!

Highly recommend this museum. The level of detail in the carvings is amazing, especially with the materials being used (wood, ivory, beef bone and ebony) and the fact that there was no glue or metal fasteners used. It was also interesting to see that he was also a knife maker, and though being a pacifist, made commando daggers for soldiers during WWII. Most had a metal tag in the handle , one engraved with the soldier's name, the other with their serial number. His wife's button collection is interesting. Guides for the most part are family members. The family still runs a knife factory next door selling kitchen, carving, and commando knives. As a bonus, the town is in Amish territory, so there are additional things to see in the area

We have been to The Weather Museum quite a few times over the years. The best museum in the country is our experience. Unique in it's origins, originality and displays. Most likely never to be replicated. So glad the family is keeping up Mr. And Mrs. Warther's history. And the have a wonderful hand crafted knife manufacturing facility and store. Well worth the visit from any place on earth.

We went to see the button collection, which was unbelievable. We stayed for the wood carvers museum and were fascinated. It's still family owned and managed.

This place was so much fun. We learned so much about Ernest Warther. There was so much to look at and read. Definitely should plan for a good amount of time per room and/or area.

I was born/raised in Dover, so I’ve had a few tours, events and such with the museum. However, coming back with my nine year old daughter and husband has given me a new appreciation of how awesome this place is. The museum isn’t anything fancy but what it is is nothing short of amazing. The family still runs it and we had the privilege of having a grandson in law give us a bit of a personal tour. We even met Mooney’s great granddaughter, who showed my daughter how to make the ‘famous’ pliers. She was in awe. It was lovely. We went in February, so the gardens were obviously not at their full glory, but I have been in when they are in bloom in the late spring/early summer and it is fabulous. The whole tour through the museum, the button house and the family house is worth the trip and admission price. Truly a gem and what a loving tribute to the world’s Master Carver.

Spectacular museum! The attention to detail is absolutely incredible. Warther had a true talent and it is a remarkable experience learning about his life. There are plenty of carvings to view. Plan to spend at least 90 minutes here.

What's not to love? The button collection is beautiful. I wish I could get closer and just sit and look at them all, get to know each button the way Mrs. Warther clearly knew her collection. The carvings are amazing in their detail and skill. Remarkable museum. Come support this lovely local business!

An amazing museum showcasing the spectacular carving skills of a highly talented man. From the Lincoln funeral train carved from thousands of pieces of ivory (before ivory was banned) in exacting detail that is just breathtaking to view, to multiple working pairs of pliers carved from a single piece of timber. The buildings are beautifully laid out by the Warther family who maintain it to this day as a celebration of his life and work. Highly recommended.

We have been meaning to go here for years and were not disappointed. Very nice museum dedicated to a master carver. The building and gardens are well maintained. Very educational and with well thought out displays, and the tour was very informative. The staff are very passionate and knowledgeable.They have a nice gift shop, but so many of the items were made in China. In that area, it should be all local. They have a new wood shop store that is very nice.

We visited on a weekend with my parents and enjoyed it. We did the self tour so we could take our time reading and looking at things. They do offer discounts on admission (veteran, AAA, senior).The grounds are lovely, not very large, but beautiful. There is a second building with a button collection that his wife accumulated over the years. We ran out of time and did not get to the 3rd building to see them making knives. Plan on at least 1 - 2 hours if you want to really enjoy the grounds and see everything.The one con I would note is in some places the walkways are narrow or steep which makes it challenging if you have someone in a wheelchair or if you are pushing a stroller.

This museum should be considered a world heritage site. It is the only one like it in the world. The carvings are unbelievable and a once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide was witty, knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The Smithsonian has classified this collection of world-class master carvings as 'priceless.' Must see!

This is a must go to stop. It's affordable and the the artist was a genius before his time. I was told by someone there. They've been to the museum over 20 times and everytime they go they find something they missed.They also have a button museum which is neat.. who knew Goodyear made rubber buttons

Impressive collection as MANY others have noted. Things I found particularly cool. A) He was self-educated (no formal school after 2nd grade) B) Pliers demo…can’t explain it but it is cool. C) He never sold them…always gave them away or burned them. The outside is also impressive. See the pics.

Soft and creamy delicious cheeses, and at about HALF of what you pay at Heinis and the other places! I highly recommend the Colby/swiss swirl as well as the smoked provolone. And while you're in the neighborhood, go about 1/4 mile down the road to the Guggisburg Doughty Winery, which is a peaceful paradise of outdoor areas to enjoy wine, nature, and those amazing Guggisburg cheeses!

We drive over 2 hrs each way to load up on cheese. Due to the pandemic the prices have skyrocketed like most places did. We will definitely be going back but perhaps not as much since the main reason was such a huge difference then our local grocery stores. Gas prices shot up to boot. It's charming tho

Beautiful area, been coming here since I was a kid. Small cheese shop not a lot of choices but nice, Friendly staff. Besides cheese, we always pick up the Vandalia Mustard excellent ! A place that is always one of our stops just whish the restaurant across the road Chalet in the Valley would reopen, sad it's closed since covid !

This place was an interesting place to visit. The Cheese and the cuckoo clocks had my head spinning!The samples were nice, the employees were knowledgeable and helpful. Going there again, once we eat all that we purchased the first time.If you like Butter, yes I said Butter! They have a Cheese for you, Amish Butter cheese. I absolutely loved it!! Just melts in your mouth! We also got a Baby Swiss Cheese Roll. We will have to go back for the Sharp, Swiss next time, Hubby won't stop talking about it and now the kids want to try it.

Excellent stop while in Amish country.Ask try to the cheese and have the slice it for you.Meats, cheeses, and more!

This is such s fun visit. The baby Swiss cheese is really, really good. I recommend the Mediterranean style cheese!The folks who work here are so kind and engaging to our children who wanted to learn about the cheese making process.

The formula for garden vegetable dip changed. Bought 2 containers was on sale! Didn't care for it! 2 stiff like it creamier like it used to be. Luv baby Swiss. Still the same. Dip had 2 much of something in it! Herbs2 strong

I don't even like Swiss Cheese but I like their baby Swiss. Definitely worth stopping by and picking up some cheese. You can see the production area from inside the store which is interesting. They have a good selection of cheese.

So I went on a Saturday around 1 and the store was packed not quite enough room to walk around and look without stepping on someone else. There was a line to buy some specialty cheeses so I skipped waiting in line and just grabbed some cheese that was sitting in the cooler. I would recommend the variety bits as they are tasty the pepper Jack cheese in the variety bits was amazing. The Ziller cheese I was told was the #2 cheese in the world, not sure where the voting was or what type of cheeses were being judged that is just what the lady behind the counter said while handing out samples. I’d suggest not to go on a weekend if you have the option unless you don’t mind right quarters and waiting in line.

Their baby swiss has been my favorite cheese for as long as I can remember. Prices were good and the staff was friendly. Better than other cheese shops in the area.

Very busy, cute cheese shop. Great prices, friendly staff, good selection. Per packaged or sliced/diced to order. Lots of jams, mustards, candies etc. Swiss styled building - very quaint.

First time visiting this place. Small Lil store great ppl working there didn't know the history behide this place out in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommend. The cheese is absolutely amazing. I didn't take pics since it was so far off grid that I didn't think google knew I was there. But there are pics if you search this place.

Super clean store and delicious cheese! The staff is so friendly and they will let you sample any of the cheeses. You can have any of the cheeses sliced as well which is super handy. Large selection of local goods too. We will absolutely be back!

Had a great visit to Guggisberg Cheese factory. They gave me samples and they were all good. The baby Swiss is really good but the cheese called Ziller was my favorite. I bought some hot chocolate powder as well.

Going to the Amish country and not visiting Guggisberg Cheese is unthinkable! Unless you have a genuine reason not to do so.The cheese factory is about two miles off the main road between Millersberg and Berlin. The store has a fabulous collection of goodies - cheeses, meats (not for me though as a vegetarian), hot sauces, jams and jellies, soft drinks .. I could pick up only as much as my helmet would hold - 4/5 types of cheese and some hot sauce bottles. Found the smaller pieces of buttery cheese really appetizing and at $2.95 a small box, I should have probably picked up some more. Very little salt, and a hint of being sweet, in fact .. simply wow! The horseradish flavored cheese was simply outstanding. I was indeed happy to have taken the small detour and fill my bag with the goodies. Next time I am here, I am going to have a larger bag with me!

Great place to visit and get some of the best cheese and snacks in the area. Staff there is fantastic!

We had an enjoyable quick visit here. We were able to sample and purchase some cheese. It was very busy, so we want to go back another time when it's less busy so we can look around more.Upon check out our kids were given a coloring book, sticker, a hat and a fan shaped like a cow. They really enjoyed that and of course so did we.We're looking forward to visiting again.

We had a great time at Tree Frog Canopy Tours. Very friendly and helpful for first timers. Very professional and safe. Fun for all ages! Easy to navigate website. If you are in the area and are looking for some fun in the trees, you cannot go wrong with Tree Frog Canopy Tours!

Amazing timeLauren and Nolan were awesome guides And kept us all safe. If you ever get the chance to do this I totally recommend it. And be sure to not miss the last jump it's worth it even if it is scary ❤️

A 50th birthday present little getaway for my husband, and thought I'd throw in something adventurous. A little uncertain I'd love it too with my limited zip line experience and was thrown by the "need to be able to lift 50 pounds" in the company info (still am?). But the reviews here led me to believe it was doable. I can say now with absolute certainty that it was a blast!! Abby and Maddie, our guides, were phenomenal- Delightful humans and expert instructors!! We felt confident in ourselves under their guidance, loved the all female staff's running of the whole experience that day, and being surrounded by the lush green flora amid the pine-y fragrance as we zipped through the trees was a euphoric natural high!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!!!!!! YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF!

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to try ziplining! No need to be afraid, the guides will take care of you! $85 seems expensive, but that's memory that you'll never forget! That's one more off my bucket list.

Soooo much fun! Staff is very friendly. A MUST DO as long as your not scare of heights!

We had a great time! This is a first class safe destination very professional

Highly recommend! My wife and I had so much fun, and she's terrified of heights. She gathered up her courage though and we both had a blast. Our guides were Abby and Alexis - they both did an amazing job. It was also fun getting to know the other people on the tour. I'd definitely do this again, and I recommend it to anyone who will be in the area!

We had a BLAST!!! Thank you so much to AJ & Ryan for making our zip line adventure SO MUCH FUN! Hope to see you again! Cannonball!!!

The runs here are longer and faster than other ziplining experiences I've had - definitely a fun and exciting ride! The rappelling took me out of my comfort zone but the guides were great getting us all through the mental challenges to finish the course. Great time with Quinn and Mariah and 5 other people I'll never see again - but will remember for along time.

Today is The Kentucky Derby,The hats were awesome and the amount of people in attendance was phenomenal. The Band sounds great and they had a good range of food to offer on food trucks

Great concert venue!PROs:COMFORT: Thick cushion seats.ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS: Cool on a hot day and warm on a cold day.AUDIO: I sat in section 3, row H to right of stage near the speakers, but the sound was not deafening, though I could hear everything. The only improvement they could make for us seniors is to put subtitles or closed caption on the bottom of the large screens.VISUALS: I don't think there is a bad seat in the house, but in addition to the stage they have large screens to the left and right that offer close ups and pictures of the entertainers when they were younger.PARKING: Plenty of parking that is free.REFRESHMENTS: They will let you bring bottled drinks into the venue, but you have to put the liquid into a cup they provide.CONs:Expensive: To eat at the casino, it's usually forty dollars per person. However, you could always eat before you get to the concert at another place outside the casino.

This was a great place and my first time visiting. The food at the bar was delicious and the drinks were great. Although I'm not a gambler the slots were really fun. Can't wait to go back.

I'm not a gambler; I went to the MGM Northfield Center Stage to see Gary Clark, Jr. - AMAZING concert with an unforgettable performance from him! I was able to grab great seats for this event and it was money well spent. The staff was very organized and helpful and the stage itself allowed for great first/second row visibility without too much neck strain or discomfort.The ONLY reason why I can't give it five stars is because of the seat spacing: we were packed in there like sardines. Even though the seats themselves were comfortable the neighboring concertgoers and myself all had to shift ourselves a bit too often to accommodate for the lack of space.

MGM Center Stage. It was a great place to see a concert. BTO played last night, and they were fantastic. Guess Who songs mixed in with BTO made for a fun night for an old fogie like me. Randy was the only original member, and his son, Tal Bachman even played his hit song. I missed seeing Fred Turner and his vocals, but it was still a nostalgic trip for me. Had second row seats, so I have to give 5 stars. The venue is outstanding.

Fantastic show and food. Went to see a comedian Tom Sugura. Best show of all his specials. Absolutely hilarious the entire time.

Went to see Tom Jones Concert. Seats are basically folding chairs and somewhat narrow. They do not control the crowd as we had lots of people up and down the aisle throughout the performance. The casino area is small but definitely has lots of tables and slots.

I'm not a big casino person, but the club is beautiful and many beautiful people were there. I attended with a friend the Chaka Khan concert. The staff treated us well and security was very visible. The concert ended without a hitch. For the casino part, the casino has all the expected amenities and get this--free parking!

I always leave my money behind with a smile on my face.Eventually I my leave will some money in my pocket.TAP Sports Bar is spot on food and service every time. Well worth the trip.

Very Nice Casino. 30 Bucks Free Slot Play was nice. Had some nice hits. As I was leaving saw a lady hit $21,000!!! Woo hoo. Cheap Drinks are a plus too Definitely will come back

Very surprised there are NO love dealers but a compact casino filled with games from penny slots to lose your top. The beverage areas was one of the coolest things I saw.

The casino is normally a great time with great service. The slots seem to pay out on the low side most days except Saturday. The food has been pretty awesome for a casino. I also enjoy the kiosk games when you swipe your players card. Good stuff.

I enjoyed my birthday lunch at the buffet. The staff sang Happy Birthday and presented me with birthday cake and ice cream. 🍰 🎈If you love apple pie or strudel get some with vanilla bean ice cream with warm caramel topping. 😋Cece was our server who made sure we felt special and catered to. Well done. She is truly a people person.

So busy! But lost my $100 limit in about 15 minutes. That's why I don't gamble! But, what a fun place to be. It was a wonderful night!

If you like people watching, food , drinks you will love the visit, it is not just a casino!

Concert/event venue located directly inside of the casino. Purchased last minute tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. This was our first time at this venue. The security and staff directed the crowd through the various site safety measures with ease. There really was not a bad seat in the house. Here are some pics from our seating - section 2 row X. Seats were a little tight and you will certainly make friends with a neighbor pretty quickly. Lots of getting up and sitting down. Narrow isles. Alcohol, water and typical concert snacks were available. Free parking.

Always a fun place to gamble. This casino does NOT have card tables, just slots. Has a couple restaurants, a bar, and complimentary coffee and soda. Plenty of parking, the parking lot is lit up pretty good at night. As always casinos are designed to take your money, but you do get lucky once in a while.

I always meet my brother here from Michigan. We hang out and gamble for a little bit. But lately have not been winning nowhere near like I used to at this location . And they don't give as good as bonuses as Hollywood does

Was there today, took a friend and wife out for friends birthday lost a lot of money ! I was ok with that ,stoped at the bar for a cocktails was never greeted buy such rude bartenders 2 women then a gentleman named Keith came over and served us he was spot on .Make him a manager he was polite and personable when he waited on us ! All it takes is a personality Keith was awesome.

What a night!! Saw George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic. AMAZING show. Crowd filled with the energy the band was exuding. So glad I got to see this incredible band.

This Buffet just opened up about 4 weeks ago. The selection of good is really fantastic and was beyond our expectations. The chefs were amazing, and they knew their food selection really well, and when you they explained it to you in detailChef Red by far is the best at this buffet and has excellent cooking skills and customer service

Good place to go to lose your money.Nice variety of slots that don't pay out. I suggest you don't waste your time and money. Doesn't deserve 1 star.

Disclaimer: Don't gamble YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHINGThat being said I had a wonderful stop here and enjoyed myself for a little longer than I expected.Lots of machines, new and old. Came in with $300 left with $1200 hitting my biggest single win to date.once I doubled my bank roll the high limits room was where the money was at that morning. Guy across from me hit like 4 hand pays in the hour I was in high limit roomthanks MGM

It was great. We ate at the buffet which was much better than expected. We then watched Kurt Diemer followed by Tesla. Very nice venue. I'll be sure to check out who else is playing there. Great evening

I love going to MGM to have fun. The payout isn't always the greatest but the atmosphere is wonderful. The employees are super nice and assistant you the best way possible. If they don't know the answer, they will find someone who does.When cashing in a ticket that has to have the taxes withheld does take an extra long time. I wish they wouldn't make people wait 30+ minutes to get paid. Also, the bottles of beer went up another dollar $6 for a regular beer is kinda high IMO. Other than that, I would recommend going but don't expect to hit anything worth talking about. The machines are definitely tight on the weekends.

This place is still fun. Went in and cruised the place. Found different slots to play . Was very busy for the holiday. Clean, all services available and eateries open. Greeted upon entry. Great local place for gambling fun!

Loved it this time I won. Lol but in all truthfulness was clean but they don't have many of the keno machines we like I feel you should have the choice to play 1-4 on every machine or at least all the keno on one machine, so I don't have to try and hop around to try and find a machine to my liking.

Worth visiting! Very cool location with a fun atmosphere. We loved most everything we got. Especially all the items we got from the various bakery’s! Unfortunately, most of the produce we bought was old. Our garlic was sprouted, once I got home and cut into it, and the ginger molded with in a day. Neat experience, but I wasn’t super impressed.

We stopped here because everyone said it was one of the places you HAD to see. The parking is limited but if you arrive early you should be fine. The first 90 minutes are free to park. The fruit and produce area was pretty small. The main area had the bakeries, meat counters, and international products. We got a chicken pasty at the Irish deli, and it was really good. If you have the time, you can find the best prices.

Discover the flavors of the community at this charming local market! The food here is exceptional, and I highly recommend trying the delicious giros - they're a must-try! The market offers a wonderful atmosphere and a great selection of local cuisine. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a quick bite, this market is a gem worth exploring. Definitely add it to your list of places to visit!

This was my first experience at West Side Market. So many Vendors under one roof. It was Awesome. Every person in the market from the people working to the visitors in the market were extremely nice. It was crowded but a good crowd it added to the fun experience. I look forward to going back.

This was genuinely one of the nicest markets I’ve ever been to! Very good prices on a huge variety of specialty and regular items. The produce looked almost too good to be real. A last stop before headed home on a weekend trip was perfect to bring home a lot of goodies. Delicious cannolis and pepperoni bread from Theresa’s bakery, perfect scratch made pasta from Ohio city pasta, home made beef jerky and more!! I’m considering making the trip from Pittsburgh more often just to stop here again!

This place was really cool! Lots of vendors and I loved the fresh market. I wish we had something like this in Columbus with the same produce selection! The downside is that if you’re vegetarian there isn’t really anywhere to have lunch on site. That would have really made it.Also there are full animal carcasses on display so if you are squeamish or cannot handle that I wouldn’t recommend

Visiting Cleveland on holiday and decided to check out the West Side Market. This place was great with wide variety of fresh seafood, bakeries, meat, produce, cheese just to name a few. You can pick up a coffee but it more a fresh market than eating. There is a little cafe which was very busy. The building is really cool and a great space. Make sure you climb the stairs a one end for a great view. Definitely worth checking out.

Enjoyed the West Side market. Haven't been here in years. Everything in the area is so different but I'm glad that this lil gem is still there and hope that more local vendors continue the tradition. Prices were competitive. Some vendors allow you to even try some of the fruits. Like the fact that you can select the specific pieces of meats you want to purchase. Would go again.

MAKE SURE you go to the covered meat and cheese market! Delicious cheese. Try the truffle goat cheese from one of the vendors! We bought Amish smoked pepper, jack cheese, cheddar and blue cheese cake, Horseradish cheese etc.Fruit and vegetable stalls outside also covered. Free parking 90 minutes. $1 after that after that.

This was a pretty cool place. Fruit and vegetable vendors, bakers with fresh bread and yummy looking desserts, fish mongers, cheese seller's and meat vendors with sausages and other products. We bought fresh bread, sausages and canoli. Parking was free for the first 90 minutes. We were there about an hours because everyone had free samples.

Great market!! Lots of selections of fruit 🍓🍑 and veggies 🥕🥗. Plenty of vendors with meat and cheese, bakeries 🥯 with amazing fresh bread 🍞 and sweets 🍭. We stopped at the Gyro place, far left corner of the market, and enjoyed the most delicious, large gyro! Wow the house tzatziki sauce was so good! Makes you want to bottle it up and bring it home. So good. We got the regular size Gyro and it was big. We ended up having lunch again the next day with the leftovers. All the produce looked fresh, we got some local strawberries 🍓🍑. Great selection of cheese and meat. Hard to decide what to get when it all looks so good. Would recommend going there. If you are staying in the area for a few days (that's what we did) and get your food here.

We try to go here whenever we are in Cleveland (we live 2 hrs away). There is so much good food here. It's always easy to find something new and unique. As an Englishman, my favorite vendor is Reilly's. They have great Irish pies, pasties and sausage rolls. Plus their scones are spot on.

The West Side Market is well known for a reason: Fresh meat, fresh bread and bakery goods and fresh specialty foods--all in one National Register of Historical Places landmark. There, you can find fresh Hungarian Kielbasa not far from fresh baked French bread that's next to an herb stand. Try the kolatchkes--small Hungarian pastries filled with fruit or nuts. No pictures are available because they were promptly devoured. Cleveland West Side Market is great for a day trip. Highly recommended.

My husband and I travel the country full time. During our local stay, we added West Side Market to our list of things to see and do.We entered the food area first. It is a gorgeous building with a nice run since 1912.We purchased meats from Jim's; we have not tried them yet so we cannot review the vendor. But they look great!We each got something different to eat for lunch. My husband got a brat from Frank's and he enjoyed it. I got a gyro from Steve's. I'm sorry, but I don't know how it has decent ratings and appeared on any TV shows, because it was so disgusting I tossed it after a couple bites. Half of the meat was thick and fatty and I don't even know what the sauce was. And I am displeased that I paid $13 for it and had to get cash from the ATM that charged additional fees. The only good thing about Steve's was that the girl behind the counter was pleasant.We purchased pastries from Euro Sweets and tried one of them...so far so good.The last thing we did was walk fruit/vegetable row before we left. We should have avoided this area. Vendors yelled at us to purchase from them as we passed by. Nothing more annoying than that. We got to the last two vendors before the parking area and I wanted to get sweet corn. The last vendor on the right had corn and green tomatoes. He was slightly pushy but I got only what I wanted. I wish I would have left without making the purchase. Once we returned to where we were staying, I noticed the corn husks were musty. I shucked them and the cobs stunk too. All vegetables went in the trash. A couple terrible purchases made it a huge disappointment in the West Side Market.It's too bad...this place could be so nice....

This was a really fun market to explore! There are so many shops to visit with plenty of ready to eat and "make at home" or grocery options. We enjoyed getting crepes, donuts, and a scotch egg, but if we visit again there would be so many more things to try. We were just passing through so we didn't grab meet or other to cook ingredients, but everything looked delicious. The building was beautiful as well.

There is a great selection of fruits and veggies. The plenty of vendors to choose from!I recommend anyone who lives here to take advantage of the free books being offered here for your children!

What an amazing place! I've never seen so many different kinds of vendors with such colorful and beautiful products, not even at the local farmers market or state fair. We spent two hours walking through, trying to decide what we had to try and what we had room for in our stomachs lol if you plan on going to Cleveland, make sure you add this place to your itinerary!

1st time visitors on a Saturday afternoon around lunchtime. Parking lot was packed but lots of people were coming and going so be patient. So many food choices! It was cool just to wander thru before picking things to eat. Try a bunch to get a wife variety of tastes!

What a fantastic market. We spent the weekend in Cleveland visiting family and decided to check out this market. Only wish we lived closer to this place! Everything is so fresh and can do just about all your shopping in one place with local vendors. Lots of free samples everywhere too if you are undecided on something! It was a great experience.

West Side Market has great fresh produce, and the other side with food vendors was also ripe with lots of options. I found exotic lion's 🦁 mane 🍄 and huge Monroe 🥑 . The salmon, spinach, and capers crepe from Crepes de Luxe was really delectable! 😋

Love coming here!!!!! All the different sweets, breads, spices, meats, fruits and veggies is crazy!!! Everything is super fresh and delicious. Never had a bad experience no matter what vendor we bought from. A definite must go to spot if you're visiting Cleveland

Calling for the food lovers!)) seriously, it is a great place where everyone could find to indulge themselves - from smoked meat and dipping oil to bread and macarons, pies, and coffee. Very educational for kids too! They can see some fruits and vegetables that are not regular in stores, even cacao beans.

Amazing interesting historical magical are just a few of the descriptions. Free parking under 90 minutes. A must visit if you are in the area. Locals come here for fresh everything from homemade pasta beef jerky meat vegetables dehydrated fruits and vegetables. It’s truly an amazing experience. Be prepared to be wowed.

Nice Marketplace! A good variety of food, especially meat products. Prices for vegetables are a little higher (and not better quality) than in a grocery store. I think shopping in the vegetable section isnt worthwhile, but for meat, cheese, or specialty food items it is great--there the price and quality is much better! Also, Rita's is the best place for anyone looking for olives! You should also try the brats from Frank's!

What a market! Thank God I don’t live near by it I would be BROKE! Name it and it’s here! International foods, meats, VERY fresh produce, hard to find items. Tried some different things while there. Highly recommend a stop!

I stopped by the West Side Market over Easter weekend with my family while visiting the Cleveland area. The market has been on my list of places to visit and it did not disappoint! Parking is free for 90 minutes or less and $1/hour after that, with a max fee of $10/day. Most vendors accept credit cards, but some charge additional fees to do so.Being a holiday weekend the market was in full swing and very busy! If you have small children, I would not recommend bringing strollers/wagons. The fresh produce selection was excellent and everything tasted so good! Lots of produce stands give out samples. If I was local, I would love to shop the produce regularly!We purchased macarons, cannolis, apple fritters, Italian rainbow cookies, brats, snack sticks, breads, pink glow pineapple, fresh herbs, and artichokes. I highly recommend going if in the area and hope to visit again soon!

A&J Produce is excellent!They guaranteed their farm fresh corn from Florida was sweet. Boy was it!They were very nice, organized and professional.Exceptionally clean, beautiful ❤️ produce!Highly recommend.

What a unique shopping experience! I wish I could compare it to something else, but I can't.Just walking in felt like a foreign experience to me. 2 outdoor covered aisles that were almost entirely fruit and veggies. Then, the best part is the actual indoor market. There must've been about 50 unique little stores. All of which were counterpoint service. You could find small hot food shops, butcher and seafood counters, a handful of delis, bakeries, and specialty shops for things like olives, hummus, and pierogies.As I was in the main building, I noted that it felt similar to the main building on Ellis Island in NY (if you've gone there).Everyone was super cool and was willing to talk about their product and explain how it's made.I wish they had one of these (just like this) in Chicago. The village farmers' markets there just absolutely pale in comparison.I don't know when, but I'll be back.

Gorgeous historic market. The building itself is enough of a reason to visit. Add in all the wonderful vendor options and you could make a day of it. As we were visiting from out of town, we grabbed some pastries and coffee beans to enjoy later! Highly recommend a visit if you are in the Cleveland area.

Amazing place, packed with folks seeking am impressive array of baked goods, meats, and cheeses, plus Irish, Mexican, Italian, Middle Eastern, and other foods. We loved it so much we went back the next day. What a great spot for this city! I wish we had something like it back home.

A must see in Cleveland. A great place to sample local favorites. My husband likes to cook and REALLY wanted to buy some of the fresh meats and seafoods, but since we were from out of town, we were not able to partake in that particular experience.

It's always a great time hanging down at the West Side Market. The large selection of meats and the eye-catching bakery never fail to meet expectations. You could just spend, spend, spend here.There are too many different foods to list!Must-go if you're only visiting in Cleveland.

I've enjoyed many games over the years at progressive stadium...Stadium is incredibly nice, clean, modern and up to date. Navigation to seats, within the stadium, and outside is simplistic and well designed for doing so. Easy getting to and from any location within.There really isn't a bad seat in the entire stadium. I've sat low, high, from all angles, including the bleacher seats and they're all well worth the priced paid and view. I personally, enjoy higher up, seeing the entire field, and nothing quite beats the view of the Cleveland Skyline. Almost looks like a cut out, breathtaking and wonderful to see as you watch the game below.Disappointed that they'd taken the All You Can Eat seats up top away as it was an awesome view and you couldn't beat the price. Concession stands are pricey, certainly not worth what you pay for essentially anything, though it tends to be expected at stadium's in general, I've definitely been to much better, when it comes to price of refreshments.Parking isn't horrendous in terms of close proximity but it's typically $25+, in most areas. Prior to the casino being built, access to cheaper parking was much easier.Games are always entertaining with lots going on in and around the stadium. Would recommend firework display nights, as they're always awesome. Lots of police and security presence, never seen or had any major issues as many times as I've went, it's a safe and fun environment for the entire family.Ultimately, it could be a little more cost friendly when it comes to parking and refreshments, but, the stadium itself is an awesome place to catch a baseball game. ⚾️ Great memories here with my family and can't wait to make more.

It was the perfect night for baseball! Clear skies, sunny and warm into a perfect cool evening. Staff was helpful and accommodating. It was clean, bathrooms were clean. We sat in club seats and the club experience is amazing! Classic food offered such as peanuts, popcorn , hot dogs with chili, cheese, onions and all other condiments, available to take as much as you like! Plus they have chef options such as tacos and chicken with mashed potatoes, pasta alfredo and of course ice cream sandwiches and ice cream bars. The options are endless! You can stay inside and watch the game on multiple TVs so you never miss a minute! Everything is included with your ticket as well as non-alcoholic drinks. There is a full bar as well. The Indians winning in a 7 inning overtime was just the icing on the cake! Great! Fireworks and a nice t-shirt were included that evening!

This ballpark was impressive. The choices and variety of food and drink were everything you could possibly ask for. The lines were not long at all and I had a hard time making up my mind what I wanted to get because there were so many great selections. They did a good job maintaining the restrooms. I have one suggestion for them, I would say they could use more recycling bins around the ballpark. Definitely worth the stop on my tour of major league baseball ballparks. Cleveland did a pretty good job putting on a good show besides the baseball game.

Awesome place to go watch some baseball. Never had any issues with fans even when I'm rooting for my White Sox. I've only been over satisfied when attending a game at Progressive fied. The fireworks are like nothing I've ever seen anywhere else. Fireworks are a must see!!

As a Chicago Cubs fan, I always love coming to Progressive Field. The last time I visited was in November of 2016, and other than some rude Cleveland fans, everything was great. Especially us winning the Championship and Cleveland losing. Good times.Anyways. Lots of nice food options. We were with a handicap baseball fan and everyone was very helpful. Had a great time. Cleveland lost this game too but that's kind of what Cleveland does...

The staff at the progressive field itself was great. Very helpful and friendly. My 3 star is not a reflection on that part of the staffing at all, they were easily 5 starsThe staff at the food service locations we visited, were 2 star at best. We easily ended up missing two innings of the game tonight because of the sheer lack of urgency or speed from every food vendor we visited. It was immensely frustrating and had we had better options, would have exercised themStood in line to get a wild thing hot dog and had to not only tell the staff twice what I ordered but got to the counter to pay and they had ended up making the food of the people well behind us and forgetting my order. They had to be reminded after I paid and then they still were making orders for those who had just walked up. Terrible.Second, we went to barrio as someone in our party wanted nachos. After spending all of the second inning in line, once we got to place or order, there was absolutely zero sense of any urgency or speed from anyone in the booth. Most of the line behind us either got frustrated and left due to the wait times or just complained about the wait times.Given how much faster these games are being played with the new rules this year, the food service management group need to up their game. Was an immensely frustrating experience that really soured an overall decent night out for baseball.

This is such a lovely and amazing ballpark! The location is accessible from downtown and walkable for postgame bars and food.It is beautifully designed to sit and watch the game in a relaxed way. While on the other hand if you are looking for more lively atmosphere 'The Corner' has everything you need.Plenty of great food options and an overall great baseball experience! They also provide $1 hot dog nights, $2 beer, a free t-shirt and fireworks night.

It was a fun night at a new ballpark watching the home team play the Jay's. Great crowd, mostly very respectful and everyone having a great time. Easy to get around, good seats, and visibility of the scoreboard.Only disappointment was the food. They ran out of a couple of more popular options at the local options and the rest of the choices were the usual fare. Loved the surrounding area, very comfortable walking back through downtown to our hotel after the game ended.

Amazing time at the ball park, third time coming here. The atmosphere is just thrills and having a great time. I would highly recommend coming here with your family, partner, friends night out. The hype is an experience everyone just having a good time. Prices are fantastic walk around if u get bored with the game itself however if u are a baseball fan like myself you don’t get bored. Fireworks also after the game is great if you have kids with you.

Clean and well-organized ballpark!There is the small park to show the history of Indians in the park which I really loved! In addition, the view is amazing. Many accessible parking spaces are available nearby the ball park!

This place has changed so much over the years, all in great ways. They keep making things fresh and better. Not a bad seat in the house. Food is expensive but that is to be expected. If you love baseball, this is the stadium for you! Tons of things to do and many great photo opportunities!! It will never be The Jake, but even with the changes, I love this place!!

A great place to see a ballgame! There are many good seating and standing options. There were some unique and delicious food choices. We tried two of the specialty dogs (the fruit loops topped dog is good! The peanut butter topped one not so much) and definitely get the giant pretzel and beer cheese. We enjoyed the statues and wall of Fame area (looking back at the greats who have played for them). We can't wait to go back and experience even more!

Great game and fireworks after the show were fantastic. Food was reasonably prices. We were able to bring in our own snacks. Parking can be pricey in the area. Check out the parking garages online first to find a better deal. Stadium was clean and staff was helpful. Check out the website for promotions for each night! Our tickets were online for $10 each, great price for the night.

I thought it was a very nice park, great views from many areas. The park itself seemed very clean. Concession lines were either small or fast from what I saw. Mobile ordering is available at many places, which helps reduce wait times and missing game action. Happy Dogs outside Section 159 is where you can find the unique hotdog choices that people have shared.Outside of Gate C, you have various player statues, and as you enter, there is a Jim Thome statue in the Center Field concourse. Speaking of, walk to your right and along the gates past Heritage Park in order to find the Jim Thome longest homerun plaque at 511 ft.To your immediate right in the Center Field concourse is Heritage Park, which has several plaques and statues remembering Cleveland's baseball history. Also to your left of Heritage Park are the bullpens. You can get a bird's-eye view of the players warming up.As a bonus before the game, stop by League Park, which is roughly 3 miles away (6601 Lexington). This was the original home to Cleveland baseball, location of the 1920 World Series, where Babe Ruth hit his 500th homerun & also many more historical moments in baseball. You can enjoy the park view for free, but there is a $10 charge if you want to explore their museum.For the game, we parked just off St. Clair, about half a mile from the stadium. Since it was Sunday, there was no charge for metered parking. If you don't mind a little walking, this is ideal, especially since prices near the stadium were $50. This location worked great for us as we were able to make a short walk over to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and then afterwards, it was about a mile walk up to the stadium.All in all, it was great weather, great game, and a fun experience. I hope you also enjoy your trip to Progressive Field, safe travels!

This is a fun stadium. Getting in was very easy and I had no issue sitting wherever I wanted pre-game to stay out of the sun. The Guardians are really good right now but I was able to get a pretty good seat for a reasonable price. The water fountains were probably the best I have seen in any ballpark. Staff was extremely friendly and the home team won.

It's a good park.. At first look it felt big from the street.. But it's below street level and feels smaller inside with lots of nooks and spaces.. They do love there bars there but I had a good local ipa.. It's a good park to visit...

A great family evening out to experience the atmosphere & passion at a baseball live game. Tickets were about $20 each so quite affordable for a major league game. I was visiting from Ireland and went with friends from Cleveland. We went to see Cleveland Guardians play Cincinnati Cats. There were hot dogs, foam fingers, ice cream, beer, pizza, Guardian jerseys all available on the evening. And all staff and supporters were very friendly. Great American experience all round .

I absolutely loved being here on Sunday watching them beat the Yankees. The stadium is beautiful and located downtown with easy access to Rocket Mortgage to watch the Cavs as well. They have all the modern amenities and you definitely won't go thirsty. Go Indians!

Progressive field just completed a massive renovation. This is truly a first class ballpark and has been home to the Cleveland team since 1994. Views are great from anywhere in the park and the outdoor atmosphere makes for a terrific fresh air “Hey, it’s finally summer!” experience. On the weekend the crowds are very heavy, so get there early if possible and parking is abundant but expect to walk as is the case with most places downtown. Check for local construction as Cleveland is undergoing a massive downtown restoration. The ballpark food options are plentiful and the quality is great. Weekday games are less crowded obviously, and not as loud for those who may have sensory sensitivities. Noise canceling headphones are available as well as assisted listening devices for the hearing impaired. They have the typical mascot races, games and interactive activities to keep things exciting. Progressive field is very handicap accessible. Highly recommend attending a game here if you get the opportunity!

My home ballpark! It’s such a beautiful park still to this day. Views are really good from almost anywhere (yes, even from the bleacher seats!!). Great way to get outside, have some fun, and sip on your drink of choice.The food on the lower mezzanine is awesome. Great local Cleveland joints scattered throughout. However the upper deck food section is mostly traditional ballpark style food… and it’s not that great of quality either in all honesty. The standing room only and terrace views are awesome especially if you’re looking for cheap fun! Family section will keep your squirmish and high energy kids occupied for the whole game with all kinds of activities, while still providing great views from the right and center field.Keep in mind during 7:10pm starts the sun will be in your face for first few innings if you sit along 1st baseline. Same goes for right field seats during 1:10pm and 4:10pm start times. 3rd baseline is mostly in the shade after about 6pm.

Big Guards fan. First time to Progressive Field (The Jake) after having the honor of singing the National Anthem 20 times a season in the late 80's (old Municipal Stadium). Great stadium, food is good. Line to enter team shop was a bit extreme and Guards need to remedy this in some manner. Seats were terrific down third base line. This was fine but the indication in the ticket order form indicated a hand rail. There was not and you could see where the rails were removed. Not absolutely necessary for me but would have been a huge help. All in all we had a great time and the Guards beat Minnesota 11-4.

Gotta love the Jake! It's arguably one of the best stadiums in the US. Whether you have standing only tix or seats, there's not a bad view in the joint. Go Tribe!!

First time to a major league ball park in some years. Was blown away by the cleanliness of Progressive Field. There is plenty to do for those who get antsy sitting a ball game. The employees are extremely courteous. The atmosphere was next level! was easy to make conversation with other fans. One of the most pleasant sporting events I have ever been to. (From Buffalo, NY)

This was my 21st current ballpark. Considering many aspects, it might be the best one I've been to. No bad seats, reasonable ticket prices, good location not hard to reach, nice views, moderate prices, excellent main concourse with plenty of field views. Highly recommend.

It was a sunny day to visit progressive field for an afternoon game. Lots of food options inside, although I didn’t eat inside it still smelled & looked tasty. Good view from the outfield section 185 although it was bleacher seats. Not much to do outside the ballpark like other cities.

Visited Progressive Field for a weekend game vs Nationals and we might have come in on a bad day. It was a $2 beer day so the place was sold out and absolutely packed. The parking prices were exorbitant and there was not a lot of parking in the area so we had to walk 30 mins to get to the park, then we had to wait another 20 mins just to get in as there are only couple gates that funnel all the crowds in. The park itself had good atmosphere as pretty much everyone had 4-5 beers in them before national anthem. The lower bowl seats are not that great and we ended up trading with some people in the higher level. the higher level seats were much better. I think this stadium was not built for sell-outs.. line ups for everything are very long and the corridors were crowded. Because of the huge lineups, the food we ended up with was not good and towards the later part of the game many of the fans in the upper bowl were just drunk and annoying. Looking back at the pictures, the field does look great with all the seats filled, but in person it did feel like just a lot of concrete. We did have great weather, but ended up leaving early.

We were visiting from out of town to support the Baltimore Orioles. The ballpark was amazing and the Cleveland fans were great to us even though we were wearing our Orioles gear. Definitely hope to be back to watch a game in the future!

A great stadium 🏟️. We pick a stadium each year to visit, when our team, the Blue Jays play and this year 2023, was Cleveland OH. Beautiful stadium, with many food and drink vendors. Team shops all around the main level. We purchased tickets to the Drug Mart Club. It was great. Comfortable seats, in a covered area. The club includes food and non alcoholic drinks. There was a wonderful buffet with , pulled pork, pizza, pasta, salads, tacos, jerk chicken, wings, hamburgers , hot dogs, ice cream, popcorn and more! All fresh and delicious. Alcohol beverages available for purchase, beers and coolers. Friendly staff, well organized. We really enjoyed the day!

I love working here, The staff are helpful & knowledgeable about ticket discounts and sections with the best foods. Theirs dollar dog and 2$ beer nights (Fridays) starting mid May. We host summer concerts -last season I had the opportunity to work the Elton John Yellow Brick Road farewell tour🚀👨🏽‍🚀♥️. We have standing room district tickets (11$) With those you'll receive a complimentary 6oz Miller from the corner 🍺 bar just present your ball park pass located in the MLB app. There you'll open your tickets for that game and it also shows the loaded value amount on each game days 🎫. I hope to see you over at MasteHeads section 118 across from corner bar-Go Guardians

“Progressive Field offers a fantastic ballpark experience! The stadium is well-maintained with great sightlines, ensuring there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The atmosphere is always vibrant, perfect for family outings or catching a game with friends. Concessions offer a good variety of food, and the staff is friendly and helpful. A must-visit for any baseball fan looking to enjoy a game in a classic yet modern setting.”

This was my first game at Progressive Field. We had a great experience. It's easy to get in and out. We had great seats. No complaints. I recommend you to attend a game to see for yourself.

This is a smaller stadium, but it is still very nice. We sat in the first row, along the third base line. The view of the field was great. However, it had rained pretty hard earlier in the day, and the area under our feet had standing black water. We just kept our feet up. If we wore white sneakers, they would have been super muddy afterward.

First time here and at the final home game in 2023, which was awesome. Bittersweet with Terry Francona retiring but a great day, great game, and probably one of the most fan-friendly parks I've ever been to. Come visit. 👍⚾

No defining features, but this is an all-around solid ballpark. Beautiful field and views. Location in downtown Cleveland is perfect for pregame festivities. Deck in the outfield is a great hangout spot. Manageable size and easy to navigate. Concessions and restrooms are accessible. Didn’t eat this time around but will update with a HOTDOG RATING after my next visit.Only minor complaint would be the line to enter, but that is to be expected when arriving during the first pitch.

Atmosphere was fantastic! Had a blast! Bathrooms were dirty, and looked like gas station quality. Food and drink were WAY too expensive. $15.50 for a tall can of beer? $7.50 for a hot dog? $18.50 for some nachos? $8 for a double cheeseburger? (Note: The 2 patties were so thin, I thought I got ripped off and recieved a single patty, at first.) That is absolutely ridiculous. Tickets are fairly priced, and staff was very friendly! All in all my girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience! I understand concessions are expensive at ball games, i just wasn't expecting them to be THAT expensive. I'll just set aside some money to use strictly on the food and drink next time we go.

Beautiful Ball park! Love the stadium food!! Everything was easy to find and a nice easy fast process to check out! Cashless and self checkout were fast and efficient services, although there's nothing like the personal touch!!!

I've watched baseball on TV before, but this was my first time in a baseball stadium. At the end of the night, I had a great time. I didn't care much for the game. I was more interested in everything around it. The stadium, amenities, shops, booths, and the fans all contributed to that. The stadium is easy to navigate and spacious, which helps with the crowd.

I can’t express enough gratitude to you guys. The compliments and love for our photo of your facility was more than appreciated. Such a classy establishment. My wife and I will be returning to test our luck on some sports betting very, very soon. 😉 Excited for the new things coming!! -Rubber City

It’s not bad for what it is; it’s a casino in the heart of the one and only Cleveland. I go here every now and then as I do enjoy gambling a bit. The casino itself is huge inside with several floors. It’s relatively clean for the most part and quite pleasing to the eye. I like going because they offer a buffet in the basement floor that I always get free coupons for, so that’s always a nice addition. I don’t think the food is anything super crazy or world renowned, but it’s good for when you have a free coupon. Their drinks at the bars though always seem to be hit or miss; some bartenders make it perfectly, and other bartenders just miss it awfully. That’s obviously not a make or break point though. 4/5 for a casino. I like going here.

The place was packedIt seems everyone I sat next to all said the same thing. Why does MGM pay so well and Jack does not. They are closer to Jack where they live, but are now willing to drive further to win. Oh, we all win something, but not for what we spend. The food in the buffet at Jack is never the same twice. The only thing that is the same is the fried chicken. It is always over fried and you can't eat it. What a waste of money. Why feed us food we can't eat. The salad bar has a wonderful selection. However it is nasty most of the time. Especially the salad dressing. People slop it all over, and no one cleans it up. Soup is good. Granted, we are the ones who slop it up, Sorry. I just don't like eating food where the food area is nasty.

This is a fine casino with multiple floors of gaming, restaurants, and bars. There is a huge selection of games, tables and entertainment. I would have loved to post some winnings but unfortunately, that did not happen on my initial visit - maybe next time ;)

This place is awesome. It is connected to Tower City Mall. It has a hotel there as well. They serve food. A full buffet that runs brunch and dinner. Everything is served fresh. This place also has a great service. Some of the workers that work there have been there from the beginning. 6 years it's been around.

This was our first trip here. The gaming experience was actually pretty good! It did let us play enjoyably for about an hour without just taking our money like most other casinos tend to do. However, the 4 stars were deducted because, not being familiar with the area, we found the first entrance to the parking garage and did not realize it was the "flat rate parking" that costs $60 regardless of how long you stay. SERIOUSLY? $60?? We were there for an hour and 10 minutes! There should definitely be some prominent signage specifying that it's flat-rate ($60) parking. Not only did we toss away money while gaming, but the parking also hit us pretty hard. Definitely won't recommend the parking garage!!

Great downtown casino with table games, electronic craps machines and many slots.

Jack Casino has great restaurants, including a fantastic buffet. They have roulette tables, craps tables, poker tables and lots of different slot machines. The facility is extremely clean, glitzy and flashy. It is really just like a Vegas casino. There are multiple levels too. They have a covered walkway that goes over the streets and leads directly into their parking garage. Their gift shop, which is called the Swag Shop is also in the same building as the parking garage. Years ago, the building was previously home to the Higbee Department store. The decor is very high end and tastefully done. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They do a wonderful job. Well done.

Jack Casino offers an exciting and vibrant gaming experience. The variety of games and slots is impressive, providing ample entertainment for all types of players. The casino's atmosphere is lively, and the staff is attentive and friendly. Whether you're a seasoned gambler or just looking for some fun, Jack Casino has something for everyone. Don't forget to explore their dining options for a well-rounded night out.

Pathetic experience. Absolute lack of customer service. No information about cost, parking, benefits and play time and money investment provided by the customer service. This place is a capitalist money-minting machine. Casinos in the US should be banned, or at the least, the hospitality and casino industry in US need to be sent to Europe and Asia for training. The US has forgotten to learn the meaning of hospitality, efficient customer service and genuine business ethics. They absolutely don't care about the feedback made to them. Definitely not spending a cent in US hospitality and casino industries. They are not worth a nickel.

This was a amazing experience the penny machines were awesome the food at the seven shelves was unbelievably good I would recommend everyone at least once visit the Jack casino in Cleveland Ohio

I went around 1pm the staff was super helpful it was my first time in a casino and they made me feel welcomed from the security guard who is so funny at the front door to Evris the machine mechanic who showed me the ropes told me everything I needed to know he went went above and beyond even walked me to the desk to get my Jack card where I met Linda who is a doll and helped me soooo much EVERYONE please go to this casino its such a vibe.

I'm a senior. My friends and I thought the buffet was $5,55 if we validated our players card. We waited in line for 30 minutes to find out that information. To validate we would have to get out of line, so we paid $20.00 each. Paid $60.00 to get out the garage. Same reason, we didn't validate. I will not be going back. Bought experience is the best kind 😌

I recently had an amazing time at Jack Cleveland Casino. The wide variety of games and entertainment options kept me engaged and entertained throughout my visit. The casino's vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff created a welcoming environment that added to the overall experience. I particularly appreciated the professional and attentive service from the staff members, which made my time there even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Jack Cleveland Casino to anyone looking for a fun and memorable gaming experience.

I was in town from Atlanta to attend the Alpha Derby at the Browns Stadium and the after party was at Jack's. I haven't had so much fun, and to see my college brothers and sisters was Amazing! We came from all over the country to attend this event. Ya'll even fed us some awesome food, thanks I'll be back.

The most gorgeous casino I’ve ever been to. Glad everything isn’t card- or phone-based and can still insert cash directly into the machines. I love just taking $40 and playing slots and/or roulette and then, heading home having lost $40 or having won a bit.

The staff was extremely friendly. We felt so accommodated. You never want to lose money but this casino made us feel like we were home. The buffet was very good and we had a blast.

Downtown Cleveland has really become an exciting place. It's clean, vibrant, decorative, and has lots of interesting architecture, new and old.Saw the 2024 total Eclipse on the garage rooftop party for Playhouse Square it was really fun.

Always a great place to have fun! Excellent buffet and a very welcoming atmosphere!

Nice sports bar and gaming area. The buffet downstairs is really overpriced. There is a big selection and most of the food quality is average. The danish selection was very good and the chocolate croissants were very good. Now the Asian selection was a crime against humanity. I am not sure I have ever seen a worse selection or quality.

I like how they keep trying to improve the casino and how they fixed the parking issue, which was a main problem, in my opinion. You have to play so many credits to get free parking. You re swipe your card to get the parking. I like that they give you the buffet and free play, unlike MGM. They are updating the carpet, which is nice. They add new games often.

Convenient for Cleveland and surrounding suburbs. Very fair with their weekly giveaways. Much better than Jack Thistledown where you have to have 1000 tier credits to get. You win and you lose, but that's the risk you take

Awesome spot. The games were fun. The tables had great options. Many floors to explore. Indoor smoking area is available. AND a sports viewing section that feels like a theatre. So cool!

This place was amazing! First time I've ever been in a casino like this the buffet even with going 30 mins before they closed there was still plenty of delicious food! Every staff member I encountered was kind and courteous. Will definitely recommend anyone stop and check put this super cool casino.

An overall great experience. First time there and loved it. Everyone was friendly, staff and patrons alike. I won a handpay and another $500. Free buffet for first timers. Parking can be a little expensive, but it is downtown Cleveland. We will definitely be back.

Buffet is over priced and selection is limited.Casino is clean. Bathrooms are clean. Machines are super tight. Forgot why we stopped going. Good reminder for next time we start thinking we want to hit Jack's. Go knowing you aren't going to win. Sit with someone you like and at least you'll have some fun!

Great place to hang out in Cleveland buffet was enjoyable,the games were fun and the server were very polite and you can catch the game here will repost if I hit a jackpot enjoy!

I always have a great time here. Free beverages, exciting games with generous bonuses and quick, precise service! A great place for a buffet lunch date with a group or flying solo at the high roller tables, it's a must see for natives and tourists alike! Love the Jack!!

Jack Casino in Cleveland off the Public Square is affiliated with Ceasars. It’s a smaller casino but it has all the latest versions of the popular games to play. Staff is friendly and helpful. Fun to try your luck a little while you’re in town.

My first time here and I hit 4 hand payouts and had a huge win in one night!!!! I will definitely be back! The odds are better here than Hollywood in Toledo!

Visiting from out of state and stopped in for a few. I found it to be clean and well managed. The amount of security around was a little weird if you are familiar with Vegas casinos. It made me wonder if this is not the safest area. Game play was fine as they had slots, tables, and sports betting. Not a large casino or destination draw, but definitely worth it if you want to fill a few hours of entertainment.

Nice casino. Parking is a pain but if you spend enough you will receive free parking. The food options are okay.

Had a great time today! My boyfriend and I were in town for a show at Playhouse Square, took the Red Line in. Asked the wonderful woman (around 12PM today) at the door for some directions. Not only did she point us in the right direction, but we had a truly great conversation with her and talked a little about the history of the city!! Awesome lady!!

I love Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! One of the largest collections of music memorabilia in the world. It was incredible to see so many cool items from the most influential artists and musicians of all time! Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket, Bob Marley's famous beanie, The Beatles' suits, Elvis' motorcycle and so much more! We heard displays are constantly changing so you may not always see these things, plan a visit soon! We arrived on a Saturday at 4pm and had only one hour to make it through this museum. We were on a mission! The woman at the front desk told us the best place to start was in the basement to see their most impressive displays and then work our way up by elevator. We were able to see all six floors in an hour! I definitely recommend spending more time if possible, however you can see a lot in a short amount of time. Pictures and videos are allowed. Make sure to stop at the gift shop on the way out. There are so many fun things to buy as souvenirs or gifts. Credit cards only no cash accepted. Parking was easy to find across the street. Tickets are mobile and can be purchased at at kiosk right inside the entrance. Don't leave Cleveland without visiting this museum!

Place is awesome. Great to take family with older kids. Lots of interesting stuff.Avoid that food truck in the front $$. Try to find street parking. Garage is insane $$. FREE for Cleveland residents. Enter gift shop at own risk.Wear comfortable shoes! Great to get your steps in for the day.

I highly recommend stopping by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if you’re in Cleveland! This place was filled with Rock and Roll history along with some fun interactive things to do. I would say this is good for individuals, couples or families with older children. It is a bit of walking and a lot of looking at exhibits, which a young child or baby may be tired of after 20 minutes. To truly enjoy it, I would give yourself a good two hours at minimum. The price was great for everything you get to see at only $35, and less than that for children. The staff were very friendly and the museum was clean.

All of the exhibits were excellent. From the start of rock and roll all the way through rap and hip hop. I enjoyed this museum very much. I definitely would say you can do this in less than 2 hours. I would compare it to the Grammy in LA. Tickets are a bit pricey for a museum but it was very cool to see everything. Parking is ok and not super expensive.

We totally enjoyed the R&RHoF! The garage band area and beats lab were absolutely a blast. Numerous displays and floors of music memorabilia made the 3 hours fly by. Be sure to check out the show on the 3rd floor too.Our teenage boys particularly said that they wished we had more time there! Definitely worth checking out with reasonable parking down by the water.

This was absolutely worth the long drive across 3 states. I could spend 2 days here just soaking in all of the rich history. What I found most impactful is learning about early music history and the extensive contribution of African Americans. This is well arranged and laid out. The pace was up to my group and the Elvis portion was a must. If you love music, history, or culture then this is a place for you. Great for families although small children may not be as enthusiastic.

Really enjoyed, highly recommended if you’re visiting and love music & History (especially Rock!!)Not ideal for young kids, although they have an awesome “garage band” area with instruments anyone can play that is very cool for older kids and adults alikeAmple paid parking right nearby, especially because it’s next door to science museum, harbor, and stadium.Amazing to see the details, cultural context, backstage info and rich history of Rock N Roll through the agesWorth the ticket price, but frugal folks should steer clear of the gift shop 😂

This museum was great! It a total of about 6 levels. There is so much history and amazing talent that is presented in this museum. Zero floor is basically the main exhibit. There are also additional floor one floor you can customize a band name logo and print your logo at no additional charge. There is also a area where you can play the guitar live with videos on how to play a couple drums sets and more! Definitely worth a visit! The staff and team members are also very friendly!

PRO TIPS: by far one of the most impressive collections of music memorabilia ever assembled. HOWEVER the museum layout for FIRST TIME VISITORS can be quite confusing. You actually enter the Hall of Fame on Level 1. Then travel paths want you to start your tour downstairs on Level 0 (which is the BASEMENT featuring the larger collection of exhibits). THEN you'll see travel paths which force you to head upto Levels 3, 4, 5, & 6, then finally down to end on level 2 with a final exit through the gift shop on Level 1 at the end of your tour. Confused? HOWEVER MY RECOMMENDED TRAVEL PATH IS (especially with large crowds OR weekend visits): Try starting out on Level 2 (take the elevator) & work your way up the pyramidto avoid the crowds. BUT always end your tour on the impressive Level 0 which is in the basement featuring the most exhibits. SAVE LEVEL ZERO FOR LAST!!!! There is actually an online exhibit guide to help plan your tour prior to arrival. Plan for 2-3 hours if you like rock music. Also lower your expectations as you will not see many artists memorabilia since exhibits rotate in/out. ALSO many artists are not in the Hall of Fame (as of this review) including Phish, B52's, Kate Bush, Weird Al, etc.

This is such a fun place to visit in Cleveland. It's in a very clean area of the city. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is fun because it gives you all the feels plus offers hands-on entertainment. My 3 year old and 15 year old had a great time, and so did my husband and I. There were turntables, guitars, drums, sound proof rooms, pinball machines etc. Truly, something for everyone.

Loved our experience here and seeing all the history of music under one roof was a great experience. They have many interactive experiences there to do as well, which made the experience interactive if you are interested in such things. Many unique and historic items related to music as as well. A must go for any music fan. Staff was friendly and areas kept very clean

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, while famous, large, and full of music history, was not my cup of tea. While I appreciate all the hard work put into this museum, I found it confusing. The general layout wasn't clear and the signage was miniscule.For the price of $25 pp, I think the museum was well worth it. We were there for 2 1/2 hours and believe we could have explored for a few more hours.

Awesome display of artifacts and memorabilia beginning with the onset of music history (blues, country and gospel) through rock and roll era, into pop, r&b grunge, rap, hip hop, heavy metal. Several interactive displays. In the front of the building are food trucks and 2 stages where local talent perform and you can watch for free. No parking lot so I suggest parking at the great lakes science museum garage located between museum and browns stadium. Only 13 dollars to park.

I love a good museum, and like Joan Jett I love Rock and Roll. This was absolutely the best museum I’ve been to in the US. We spent about 5 hours here and I think we saw it all. Highlights were definitely the first couple floors, but the trip to the top was still worth it. The boy minor disappointment was the movie on the third floor, which had some great highlights but was too disjointed to tell a compelling story. If you can make it while the Beatles display is still going, I’d highly recommend it. There are really great portions that will be hard to replace. I’m not from this area but will return in the future just to see what’s been added!

We went here after a work function and we had only a few hours to enjoy. I was asked a few times if I would come back. If people wanted to go I would go but it wouldn't be a repeat on my own. They had really cool displays and mini theaters to show you rock footage. They have assorted interactive booths so you can make your own band t-shirt, a music mix, and even learn how to play instruments. I thought that was very cool. Next time I need to keep an extra eye out for queen, rush, and black sabbath.

We went for the Battle Of the Bands. It was a great concert with some really good talent. We were able to walk through all the exhibits. It was very interesting. You could listen to music, and see some amazing outfits and there was even an area where you could try playing piano, guitar, bass, and drums. My 16-year-old and my 7-year-old loved it.There were escalators for all the floors and an elevator. There were couches, benches, and tables for anyone who needed to take a break. There was a little Cafe for food and drinks. Overall I would recommend it to anyone who loves music.

We stopped in to check out the Rock and Ro Hall of Fame on a Friday around noon. I ordered our tickets online before entering ( which made the entry faster) if you can do this it won't be a big deal to get tickets at the gate. We parked on the pier. This made finding and paying for parking super easy. The pier parking behind the building to the right upon entering, just drive past the building and you will see the parking. Once inside we started on the 1st floor and worked our way up them all. So many cool things to look at and activities to do I recommend at least 3-4 hrs to explore on a not busy day. Highly recommend the induction experience on the 3d floor. My favorite part... well I can't pick just one part. The Pink Floyd installation definitely the most interesting design. The tour ends in the merchandise store, so save that for last. Everything was reasonably priced. We picked up 4 shirts for the family on sale for $45.00 cool dollars.

Six floors in total, add lots of fun with different genres and multiple bands representing the facets of rock and roll. We started at 10:15am didn't even get done until 2:15pm. Good time, especially if you are a musician, or love music across the spectrum of rock.

Cleveland Rocks! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was well worth the drive from Kentucky. We stayed the entire day. Great value for the money. Cafe has great food options so we didn’t have to leave the museum to look for food. Fun gift shop. Easy parking at nearby garage. So much to see. A great tribute to so many music legends. Wish it was even bigger and we were excited to see construction in progress! Our only regret, besides not coming sooner, was we didn’t buy a museum membership because we can’t wait to go back.

We went on a Sunday, it was an easy drive to get to the place and found a nearby parking garage, which was a life-saver for the parking! We had pre-planned and ordered our tickets ahead and paid for them. Super easy to do and highly recommend, as even getting there at noon for our time slot, it was getting busy. I was kind of thinking a Sunday would be a little slower and quieter, but that was not the case. The kids had a great time making band names and printing stickers to take home. They enjoyed seeing all the clothing and memories that were there. We did not take a lot of pictures at all, as it was insanely crowded to walk around. All in all, it was a fun trip, something we do not do every day and I’m sure they will enjoy going back in 10 years or so.

A unique experience every time I go! It's never the same display. So that makes it fun. Tickets are mobile entry at $30 each. Discount for seniors, kids, etc. 6 floors of activities. Food court has reasonable prices. Gift shop is gull of fun gifts at reasonable prices. Anyone can take home something! Wheelchair and stroller accessible by elevator. Staff was welcoming.

If you live in the city, it’s free. Otherwise, it’s $35..but here’s a tip: If you buy a membership for 2, you’ll pay $75. That $5 more than two tickets, plus you get a tee shirt and 10% discount in the gift shop. And it’s good for a year…take anybody you want! Always fun, I’ve seen some great exhibits and changes over the years. The Beatles exhibit was “fab!” It’s a great way to spend an afternoon and through August’22, concerts on the patio certain nights. Have fun and rock on!

This is such a cool museum! Going in you get a sense of a fun party atmosphere. Lots of music history here for fans of Rock, Blues, Metal, Hip-Hop. I paid $35 for a ticket online as I was walking towards the front entrance. I showed the person at the main door and got a wrist band after she scanned my ticket. Then she directed me to start one level lower. I highly recommend this place for music lovers.

Being a rock vocalist, it was a necessity to visit here while vacationing in Ohio. It's a cool place both inside and outside so take your time when visiting. Many of the exhibits are focused on rock & roll, of modern and classic bands and individuals as well. Pretty cool gift shop on premises as well and a lot of music history in these walls. All in all it was a great experience.

I have wanted to come here for a long time and it totally lived up to expectation! I loved the flow of exhibits bringing you around and to different floors. The history of everything was interesting to read and then getting to dive into exhibits on certain artists. Price of admission was well worth the time and spent about 2.5 hours there without seeing any of the films, so perhaps budget a full afternoon. Purchase a ticket online for easier entry

All I can say is Wow! This was a bucket list trip and soooooo worth it! What a great museum. We spent about 4-1/2 hours there and probably my favorite part was being able to pick and choose what induction clips you wanted to see of your favorite artists. The displays and the exhibits are second to none. Very well put together and I really loved the interactiveness of it all. You just have to add this as a place to go if you haven’t been. INCREDIBLE

So very Cool!! Definitely a place to visit if you like music.The touch and play section was really cool and the video series was nice...especially with Prince closing it out.You gotta go.

My husband and I visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during our trip to Cleveland. We conveniently parked at the metered parking across the street. There was plenty of spots available when we arrived but we could see how close parking may be challenging during high traffic visiting times or when there is a game at the nearby stadium.Tickets were $35 a person. We had no trouble buying them at the door.The museum has 6 floors. The bottom floor has the most to see and is the most impressive of them all. The other floors felt a bit lacking compared to this one, especially if you aren't interested in watching mini films they share throughout the museum.On the second floor, known as The Garage, you can try your hand at playing a variety of instruments using video tutorials as a guide. This was a great interactive option to enjoy during our visit!This is a great spot for all music lovers to enjoy while visiting the Cleveland area!

Everyone told us this was the must visit attraction in ClevelandThree hours really well spent. Loved it!Parked on the pier by the lake. Short walk and reasonable prices.Bought ticket in advance on the dat 🎟 Arrived before out slot and no problems getting inSo much to see. Basement is biggest display area. Easy to miss something. We doubled back to make sure.Shop has lots on offer.Cafe has good food and drink optionsHighly recommended

As the shape of the building suggests, the basement is huge and a maze containing loads of artist memorabilia throughout the ages and genres. Impressive. As you go further up, the exhibition area becomes smaller, and the items on show lesser. Some of the greatest artists of all time, like Freddy Mercury, George Michael, Iron Maiden, KISS, Smashing Pumpkins, (to name just but a few) are NOT on display unfortunately. Otherwise, a great set up with lots of interactive play and jam sessions to listen to.

This is an expensive experience with a lot of guitars. I enjoyed it, but became numb to all the interesting artifacts because there were so many. I especially loved the Elvis section. The music through out is incredible and the building is a cool design. It is a very expensive ticket though.

Pretty cool place. Food court inside & food trucks outside. The gift shop has tons of stuff & a huge clearance section tucked away. Has several floors. Top floor is dedicated to 1 artist that they change out. Only gave 3 stars since they didn’t have nearly enough from the 80’s. One tiny section. Was disappointed about that.Small parking lots around that are pay by your phone. Just down the street you can walk to see the water.

The layout was pretty confusing at first. There was one point where we got stuck and had to get on an elevator (maybe that was what you were supposed to do?) it was also relatively crowded with people, but that’s what you expect because it’s not like it’s an unpopular place.The Hall of Fame itself was awesome! The first floor consisted of rappers, which was sort of confusing, but that was just the front. The rest had Rhythm and Blues, which people were complaining about (which doesn’t make sense because not everything’s going to have heavy metal and punk in it. R and B is apart of the evolution of that stuff. Just gotta wait for other floors to see it)The Taylor Swift stuff I’m sure was just to attract other people, but they liked it so it was okay just as long as people enjoyed it!The place where you can play interments was great. I’m not too good at bass so I can’t say much about the quality of the interments but it was holdable so that’s something.Very nice place consisting of several genres, including a gift shop! (Which had a Hole shirt that I wanted really badly but it was 50.00)I’d recommend this place to anybody that has a passion for that kind of stuff. Anybody that likes any kind of music would have a great time here, and that’s what makes it so amazing!(I got permission from my mom to write this)-Nora ^_^

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: A Must-See Experience**On our recent camping circle tour of Lake Erie, we finally checked off a long-time bucket list destination: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This visit was everything we hoped for and more, and it’s undoubtedly a must-see for everyone.As Canadians, we were thrilled to see representation of Canadian artists among the global icons of rock and roll. The exhibits are comprehensive and inclusive, celebrating the rich, diverse history of the genre.The highlight of our visit was the video of inductees, which is nothing short of Oscar-worthy. If there were a 10-star rating, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would surely deserve it. This museum offers an unforgettable experience, showcasing the timeless impact of rock and roll on our world.

My wife and I visited on 7/7/24. We got there about 10:30 and stayed for 3+ hours. It was crowded, but pretty much everyone was polite and patient. We both thought it was great. If you like music you will like this place. Don't miss the 12-minute movie or, for that matter, any of the exhibits. We hope to come back again.

Just was there last week and I could not believe how much stuff is stored in this building. It took us 3 hours! And that's with not knowing everything and reading everything. There was another couple that had been there for 5 hours!!! If you have a hard time standing or walking this is not the place for you it's 6 floors tall! It was an amazing experience and would definitely recommend.

Really cool place to go see. You can walk around and see music instruments, clothes, and memorabilia from different generations of musicians. They had an instrument room where you can try out different instruments and beat box studio too. Definitely recommend going to see it if you’re in the area. They also have a very large gift shop where you can pick up some cool stuff.

This place is amazing. For me it was very busy, and it was difficult to read/see some of the exhibits. The 15min movie is a must, the videos and acts are like a time machine to the past. Such great talent and performances. The women's rocker video was cool too, so many great artists. This museum is a must for anyone who likes music, amazing!

Great visit! Cleveland did it right. Lots to see and lots to experience. No wait to get in early in the morning and they even have drinks and food. Overall they could do a better job showing more artists history as some only have a name on a wall. Favorite was the blotter and the beginning of the exhibit showing how far we have come to support artists for their unique style and genres. People think about where we are today and how much artists had to endure hate from religious zealots for no reason just like current climate. You'll laugh and cry at the same time.

We went on a Friday and got tickets for 10am right at opening. This was definitely the way to go. There was plenty of parking right by the pier and parking is not expensive at all! If you get there early you have time to stop and look and the ships and just take in the view of Lake Erie. The museum goes from Level 1-6. The first floor is the most robust and is absolutely an experience for all your senses. Each floor after that gives music-lovers an opportunity to delve into the different components or genres of the music world. Our favorite part of the experience was the celebration of 50 years of hip hop. If you grew up listening to hip hop through the 80s-00s you’ll absolutely LOVE this. The cafe actually has decent food that isn’t wildly overpriced. The whole museum is really well thought-out with little details everywhere you look. We travel to lots of museums and this is now at the top of our list!

My father and I took a trip to Cleveland for the 2024 Eclipse and needed to kill time. This place was our impromptu place to go and it was the best choice! We stayed here to look at all the treasure and history for over 4 hours! It was so cool to see the origins of rock and learn about the roots of hip hop. If you are a music enthusiast or just want to learn more about the hall of famers, I’d recommend planning to be here for at least 4 hours because I feel like I still haven’t seen everything.

Pretty awesome! The bottom floor is a lot to get through but the rest goes quick. Lots of cool things to look at, we didn't have time to see everything but walked away with a great experience.

Lots to see, hear, learn and do. Take your time to sit and watch/listen or play. My group stayed for 3 hours, but some of us would’ve stayed longer to really absorb more of the vibe. Worthwhile, especially with group of 15 (only had 10!) Unfortunately, no athlete discount for the Pan American Games athletes who wouldn’t be there the night of their special event.

Wow, what an amazing destination! This incredible attraction boasts 6 floors packed with entertainment, history, and interactive exhibits. Whether you're a history buff, a thrill-seeker, or just looking for a unique experience, there's something for everyone here. The interactive elements make it a truly immersive and engaging experience. I highly recommend adding this to your must-visit list - you won't be disappointed!

This place was wonderful. A great nostalgic ride through rock music. Tons of exhibits, clothes, guitars, and video presentations.Wear comfortable shoes, sit when you can.We spent about 6 hours wandering through the exhibits.The Beatles exhibit was hard to hear with so many other musical displays going on.Some of the immersive theater presentations were a bit loud. Some ear plugs would have been nice.Pro tip. You don't have to print paper tickets if you can present the PDF scan code on your phone.

I was disappointed, not for lack of memorabilia or interesting displays, but with the organization of how to make your way through the museum. We were told, "Start on the bottom level & work your way up." Sounded like a fair instruction, but not so. On the bottom level, there is a ton of stuff with no indication of direction or flow. Our group split up due to the crowd, & some of us saw things that others didn't see because there are alcoves & short halls. We spend 3 1/2 hours there, but you could easily spend more time there as there is a massive amount to see.

If you are in Cleveland this is a must see. It's rich on history of Rock and roll and does a great job celebrating all of those indicted into their Hall of Fame as well as others important to how Rock and Roll has evolved over the years. I highly recommend you set aside a few hours to take all this in. I don't know if they have a live band every day, but there was one during our visit and you could hear them playing various covers while perusing all the great content, or just sit back and enjoy the show. Check it out!

The Hall of Fame was terrific! There was so much to see, and do! One thing that surprised me was how much of it was interactive! The musical instruments were really fun to noodle around on. I only wish that it was a bit bigger. There were several artists that only had very limited representation.

I really enjoyed my time here. It was much bigger than I expected. There are 6 floors. There is a gift shop, a place to eat and if you are able to catch a show I highly recommend you do it's great it's included in the ticket price and not that long it's a great experience. Make sure to give yourself time to arrive early to find parking in case you need to walk, especially if you booked for a time.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame deserves a five-star review for its exceptional tribute to the history and impact of rock music. The museum offers a captivating and immersive experience, with its extensive collection of memorabilia, interactive exhibits, and detailed displays that celebrate rock's greatest artists and moments.From the iconic outfits and instruments to the engaging multimedia presentations, every exhibit is thoughtfully curated and provides deep insight into the evolution of rock music. The hall of fame itself is a highlight, honoring the legendary artists who have shaped the genre.The facility is well-maintained and the staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're a die-hard rock fan or just curious about the genre, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a must-visit destination that truly rocks.

Very cool place. We’re not usually the museum type people but we enjoyed the rock and roll hall of fame because they have an interactive floor where you could actually learn to play all kinds of instruments like the acoustic guitar, electric/ base , piano and even drums… they have easy lessons to follow with various songs to choose from.

We enjoyed what we saw. Very crowded. We went on a Saturday morning and were among the first in, but it was crazy busy. We completely missed the women and music exhibit on the lower floor!! We figured we would get back to it later but it was still so crowded, we gave up. The 6th floor was closed, so we didn't see anything up there, either.Next time, we will go back during the week and call ahead to make sure that all floors are open to the public.Staff was very friendly and there is alot to see.

I was absolutely blown away by how much I enjoyed this museum. This has been on my bucket list for many years and it didn’t disappoint. I could have spent days in this museum: the history, the videos, the outfits & and instruments, and an amazing gift shop. I highly recommend!

This was good and many items donated. Not all of it is rock and looks like country singers have a few things there too. I was surprised to see some bands not in it and hip hop rap was. Over all it was fun

Really interesting place. Got to see all kinds of legendary music groups items and some replicas. It took about 3 hours to see it all, then went back, though, to see some exhibits that were busy the first time, though. I will definitely be back after Ozzy Osbourne goes into the Hall of Fame! If you like music, then this is a must-see!

We were visiting friends in the area for a few days and decided to fit in a stop here. Took the free tour. The house/furnishings are amazing... and the grounds are beautiful. Especially loved the weeping beech tree! Our kids (10 & 9) did the junior ranger activity which gave them a scavenger hunt type challenge which helped keep them engaged. Highly recommend 😀

Decided to stop and take tour as we were driving from Erie, Pa to Cleveland and so glad we did. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and clearly has respect for President Garfield and his wife, Lucretia. Home was beautiful, I especially appreciated his library and campaign office (a separate building next to the main house). Tour took about an hour and was worth every minute. Oh, and the tour is free although donations are accepted.

Stopped here on Saturday morning. Grounds are immaculately kept. There is a walking tour and you can dial in on the phone for a comprehensive narration. We were made aware, by another visitor, that this location has the BARK Ranger program, so we signed up our little Chihuahua. We absolutely loved that part. We were pressed on time for a tor of the house which I’m sure was a fabulous tour. Peeking through the windows, it looked equally neatly kept inside as the outside.Enjoyed our stop and walking tour of the grounds!

I really enjoyed getting to know about James A Garfield and his property! It’s a very beautiful historic site with lots to see as you walk around! Make sure you bring your passport book to get all the stamps it can offer!

Wonderful, friendly staff! The whole place is free to visit and open seven days a week from May through November. The house tour is about 45 minutes long and shows a great example of an 1880s Victorian mansion. On the ranger-led tour, you will also learn all about the life if America’s 20th President, James A. Garfield and his family. The site is part of the National Park Service and also participates in the B.A.R.K. Ranger program where your dog can earn a badge!

I’ve lived in Mentor my whole life, and I finally decided to visit the James A. Garfield Historical Site as an adult. What a wonderful experience! The tour was fantastic, and everything was in great shape. The history here is incredibly rich and well-preserved. It’s a gem for out-of-towners, but it’s also something locals shouldn’t overlook. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for something interesting to do, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

Nice historic site, due to social distancing they reduced the amount of tours per day so we couldn't go in the house. Very informative and lots to see otherwise. They have a cell phone tour of the grounds and a small visitor center/museum

We really enjoyed our private tour of Garfield’s house by tour guide Pat. She focused on their family life and was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the time period as well as the family of a lessor known president. Only historical house we’ve ever toured that is run by the national park system and was free admission which was a nice surprise. Definitely worth a visit!

I had the privilege of visiting the James A. Garfield National Historic Site (hereinafter "Garfield house") on Sunday, May 7th, 2023. I went with my brother and my sister. We arrived around 10:40. The area was very accessible, with plenty of parking. We went to the visitor center first. The attendant greeted us and informed us about the tours. Although the next tour wasn't until 11:30, she was able to have us join the tour that started 10 minutes previously. A ranger guided us to the Garfield house, where we joined the small tour. Alex Murray (also a ranger) was our tour guide, and with his vast knowledge and subtle sense of humor, he did a phenomenal job. The tour in the house was about 45-50 minutes long. He explained many details to us, and took our picture at the end by the stairwell. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The site is very well-maintained, and the staff does a phenomenal job. If I could give Alex and the Garfield house more than five stars, I'd happily do so.

Highly recommend the house tour. Was very interesting and informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Garfield family and the history of the house. Enjoyed our visit very much!!

My visit to the James Garfield National Historical Site couldn’t have been more enjoyable. I began my visit in the visitor’s center where I scheduled my guided tour of the large house that was the home of President Garfield, His wife and Children. At the appointed time those in our group assembled at the house and began our tour. Our Tour guide was amazing. She was entertaining and knowledgeable, and I learned so much about not only President Garfield but also how important Mrs. Garfield was and the impact she had on maintaining the home after President Garfield’s Death. Most of the furniture and artifacts are original to the house and were used by President and his family. The house tour took almost a full 90 minutes, but it was entertaining and informative. Once we finished our guided tour of the house, we were free to explore the ground on our own. The visitors center also has a museum that features a number of artifact that belonged to the President including the top hat he was wear the day her shot by Charles Guiteau at the Baltimore & Potomac Train Station in Washington, D. C. The employee and volunteers here are very helpful and knowledgeable and are more than happy to answer any questions that you may have about the Garfield’s and their life here. The hours tour took about 90-minute and I spent another 90 minutes or so visiting the museum and walking the grounds. I highly recommend visiting the James Garfield National Historic Site if you find yourself in the area.

This was our second trip to Ohio to visit Historic Kirtland this year (The first was for the 2024 Solar Eclipse) and our third side quest.We love history, and when we realized Historic Kirtland wasn't going to be open early Sunday morning, we found this site near to where we were staying and immediately planned to spend the morning there. The park ranger that guided our tour was able to take our group early, and was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was especially good at helping us not just learn about this history, but also identify with and be apart of the family.We're very thankful for the work and service that has been put into preserving and caring for this piece of history.

Informative tour of house and life of President Garfield. Beautiful home and property!

I got here within 45 minutes of closing so just visited the visitors center and did the junior ranger program. I finished with 3 minutes to spare befor the 5.00 closing time. The pictured are of inside the visitors center. sorry about that. I will have to come back to do a good visit. The rangers were very helpfull.

I've only been there once before. Excellent tour guide made for a remarkable and informative tour. I truly enjoyed it. Tour was free.

You have to visit this place if you are nearby. What a well curated historic site! We did a tour Sunday afternoon. The ranger who guided us was so informative, gave us so much details and insightful comments about the life of President Garfield and the political life in Ohio that we really got immersed in what it would mean to be a politician at that time. I appreciated a lot that the tour considered the interest of my kids as well as let them be curious. The ranger asked them for what they could see around, their opinions. This means so much when you see our youth being so low on community/politics engagement!Around the museum there's a path with plenty of information about the historical site while the inside of the house show a collection of items curated by Lucretia Garfield, his wife. Her passion is at every inch of this place. The "bunker" she designed for the memory of his husband is impressive.As a side comment, I feel pleased that the tour included a detailed description about why President Garfield wrote a handwriting letter to Eliza Ballou Garfield, his mom, after he was shot in 1881. I always tells my kids that if they can't write or learn how to read cursive they will miss a big chunk of history first hand that only can be perceived by reading old letters by themselves. I think they got the message. :) Thanks to all of the workers at this historical place for your service.

Great learning experience!! I gained so much information about President Garfield while attending his former home in Mentor. This National Historical site was very well laid out and the Rangers and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour of Garfields home allowed us to view almost the entire house. We also got a glimpse into some of his family’s personal life experiences and the work that former First Lady Lucretia Garfield carried on throughout her life after his death. Highly recommend!

One of the best tours we had in any of the President's houses in the country. The lady that gave the tour has a degree in history and is very passioned about the history of the President and his family. Thank you for having us.

Ohio Presidental history was guided tour by National Park Guide. Get your NP passport stamp. Very educational stop. It's Free!

This is one of the best historical experiences I have ever had. Garfield suffered a tragic death. His life is worth remembering. I'm reading Destiny of the Republic by Candace Millard to learn more about him. This historical site is a must-see. If you have young ones, ask for the junior ranger book before you take the tour!

We took a tour that the national park service offers for free of President James Garfield's home. The tour starts in the visitor center and lasts about an hour. It's a beautifully preserved home with a lot of his family's original furnishings still in the house and it's also the site of the first presidential library.

A great place to visit. Very historical. Exhibits are first class and the house tour is very informative. The tour is free.The grounds are kept up perfectly.

Another wonderful NPS site tour. Ranger Alan was very informative and provided just the right balance of information on the house and family. He even fielded a wealth of questions from the junior rangers on our tour very efficiently! The house is well preserved and restored. I learned so much about Garfield that I didn’t know before arriving. Our pup also received her BARK Ranger badge and certificate at the visitor center. The tours on the day we visited were scheduled each our at the :45 mark and lasted about 45 min.

Awesome piece of history and glad we are able to tour and visit. Make.sure you get here at the right time for the tour of the house.At the time, part of the path outside was closed due to an overprotective hawk mother, which is unfortunate but neat!

Food was tasty but it was cold and you could tell it had been sitting a while before it came out. The place wasn't really that busy at the time and we only had a table of 3, so I'm not sure what happened there. Waiter was friendly but not on top of refills. For the price, I'd expect better all around.

Have been here many times with great food and service, had already eaten dinner there the past 2 nights. This evening though was very frustrated as I wanted to take my 13 year old and sit at the bar and have milkshakes. I found out sitting at the bar is for 21 and over, which doesn’t seem right for a family oriented resort. So we ordered them to go since it was a 30 minute wait for a table. After we ordered she said we could go sit at these tables and wait, so i said ok well we can just eat there, but she said we were not allowed because they are for take out only. Then our milkshakes come out and was very disappointed as they look nothing like the menu and were told because they were ordered to go. So I paid $40 for 2 milkshakes that I could have got at Dairy Queen for 1/4 of the price.

This place is amazing and I would highly recommend coming here. Our waiter was great. He noticed our table was a bit small and asked us if we wanted to go to a booth instead, so we did. Plenty of room for us to eat. He was over all very attentive and always made the effort to check in on us.The wait time was nothing. We got seated immediately and probably waited 15-20 minutes for our food.I ordered the B-Lux burger and oh my, if you want everything on a burger, this is what you should get. I felt like I had the whole kitchen in one bite! It was bursting with flavour and character. I’ve never had anything else like it before. The fries were not my favourite though. They reminded me of a mix between potato chips and Tostitos. Not my style of fry. Overall great experience.

Our server elzie pronounced lz, was attentive, but not very knowledgeable. We were both disappointed in the beer cheese on our tots it was bland. After our appetizer was on the table our wait for food was an additional 45 minutes. Overall the word to describe our dining experience was bland. We were disappointed in the quality especially since everything was so overpriced.

Staff is nice and presentation is everything. But! Food is terrible ordered steak and it was tough like leather. Friend of mine ordered pulled pork sandwich and that was fatty and nasty. Another friend ordered a burger and it was to dry. I paid for 2 people and it was $76 got an app 2 meals and 2 drinks. Needless to say please save your money. Go to Walmart or even mcds to eat will be cheaper and way better.

My husband & I made a late night stop to grab some dinner after a long day at the resort.After being seated we were then shortly greeted by Robyne.She is hands down the best waitress I have had.So kind & polite.She was very attentive and made our experience great.The food was good and came out in a timely manner, considering how busy they were when we arrived.I would definitely dine-in here again when we come back in the future & I hope when we do Robyne is still here to take care of us again!

Let's start off with the service from our waitress Emily was outstanding.. the restaurant itself was very clean and smelled very good. (that's what drew us in)My wife and I had both ordered the cheese head burger I had mine medium well which it was not.. the wife had hers well done.. Quite dry to be honest both of the burgers. The fries were awesome very well seasoned great atmosphere I really loved the lights hanging great touch. I was worried with it being right next to the indoor water park you can't hear anything going on in restaurant but it's quiet in there very nice you can't hear anything from the water park and we were sat right next to the window. Overall we had a great time we may try again before we leave only because of the great service from Emily.. THANK YOU EMILY :)

Vicky from B-Lux Grill & Bar is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, her warm smile and attentive service made our dining experience truly exceptional. Not only did she anticipate our needs, but she also offered expert recommendations on menu items, ensuring each dish exceeded our expectations. She even took the perfect polaroid of me and my husband that we are going to adore forever! Her professionalism, combined with genuine friendliness, elevated our evening to new heights. Vicky's dedication to providing top-notch service is commendable, and she is undoubtedly a valuable asset to B-Lux. We can't wait to return and be greeted by her welcoming presence again! Also have to add, the music that they were playing were definitely 10/10!

Terry was our waitress and was phenomenal!! She was very friendly and at the end of our meal, she gave each of our three kids $20 worth of game cards to use at the arcade. Such a pleasant surprise! The shakes were amazing and so delicious!!

It was worth every dollar. The food at this place was so good. This place is for burger lovers. They do have salads and Milk Shakes. The Milk Shakes are very well built. However after a long day the hamburger here fills your stomach and hits the spot

Terry was an amazing server. She was fun and friendly. Our group of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids) appreciated her attentiveness and enthusiasm as a server. We loved our meal and drinks and all her humor while also on top of everything we needed. Terry is awesome! Thanks for a great evening.

My son and I visited this restaurant tonight and was impressed. We had Mike as a server and he was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive to our needs. The food was very good and very reasonable priced. We will be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Service was amazing. The sandwich itself was a great oversized burger with exception of the burger. I ordered it medium and it came out ready for the face off in the Stanley Cup. The waiter offered to remake it, but my policy is to never return food. ( I don’t want the “special sauce”). The server offered some free gaming cards for my son. Overall I am happy with my experience but the burgers should be on point at a place that calls itself a burger joint.

B-Lux is a beautiful restaurant positioned over the indoor WaterPark of Kalahari. Of course, restaurants and items at Kalahari are ridiculously priced. We really expected the food to be better than it was. The burger was top notch and tasted fresh. However we both chose onion rings as a side when we were asked what we would like for a side “fries, onion rings, or chips?” and they were so soft as if they had been sitting out a long while the coating was not crispy at all. To top it off, when the bill came there was a $5 up charge for choosing onion rings. The food came out very quickly and that would explain why the onion rings tasted old, premade food just waiting to go out. I had to request a different drink because the Mountain Dew came out looking like lemonade, no bubbles and extremely flat. My son got a delicious birthday shake because we were there celebrating his 4th birthday. Overall the meal with tip was over $100 for two adults and 1 toddler so expect sub par food for a higher class price tag. Wished we would have just gotten pizza at the cafeteria which is always delicious!

Food variety and quality was great. Never an empty drink with Mel as our waitress...she was wonderful! The Manager spoiled our table with lots of Arcade passes which made my teenagers so happy! Thank you! We didn't get a chance to try the shakes but they look amazing!!!

The best staff behind the bar!! Vicky was very attentive and took care of everything… before I even knew I needed it! And the Soft Pretzel was the biggest I’ve ever seen!!!Jared the manager was entertaining and very willing to clear up and get his hands dirty! The kind of manager who doesn’t mind helping and remembers where he came from!

Lisa was my server and i am glad she was. Super sweet super attentive and made sure i enjoyed my visit. Also per her recommendation i tried cheese curds with caramel dipping sauce, I’m obsessed…

Vicky was a great bartender and waittress.Very friendly, attentive, personable, and knowledgeable.Atmosphere was the perfect date night right next to the indoor water park to keep an eye on kids (with their babysitter)

Our waitress was Melanie. Amazing service. Very kind and fast with our food. The restaurant atmosphere was very nice. It was also very clean! The Portobello was what I got and it was fantastic. We did have a very small issue with another meal with a sandwich having very little meat but our server and a manager took care of it so well and were so kind. I would recommend here 100%!!

The food and drinks were awesome. Reasonable prices for being inside a resort! Absolutely delicious. All the severs were attentive and great especially with the kids! Our sever was the best though Tre. W. He definitely shows the he loves his job and thats what we love seeing!Thank you!

We had the best experience in BLux Wednesday night for dinner with Katy being super friendly and very attentive.Then ,Thursday for lunch we had an amazing wait staff service again with Dai. She made my daughter's day and possibly her the trip.Whatever it is that you are doing to get the best staff ever, do not ever stop. From the hostess at the entrance to food servers and possibly the best wait staff ever. We will definitely be back.

Melanie was personable and prompt. She built a great rapor with the kids at the table. The food was tasty! The chicken soup was the popular get at the table tonight. Only wish the shake machine was still up and running, the kids would have gotten one!

Our server Vicky was amazing- so playful and sweet. She took great care of us and enhanced our meal! Milkshakes were out of this world!!!

Our server Mike was really nice, but the experience overall wasn't worth it. The food is very expensive (burgers are 20+) and doesn't taste good (virtually no flavor or seasoning on anything). We ordered two burgers both cooked medium and they were well done and tasted dry. The loaded pub chips we had as an appetizer were stale and hard to chew. The redeeming factor are the shakes, we had the oreo one and it was really delicious. Don't be fooled by the bougie atmosphere though because besides the shakes and service, this place stinks.

Our waiter Tre W was incredible. I was waffling between two options and he gave honest and amazing advice leading me to one of the best turkey burgers - and best turkey anythings!! - that I’ve ever had. And the cocktails (or milkshake if you get a non-alcoholic one) are absolutely phenomenal and worth the price of admission alone! One of the best eating experiences I’ve ever had.

Really fun atmosphere. Service was great too. Had the b-luxed up burger with all the trimmings. And there were a lot of trimmings! Onion rings, cheese curds, fries, fried egg and a buffalo wing! Pub chips were awesome as well. Place is pricey but you are at a resort after all. $50 for 3 ppl with no drinks, appetizers or dessert.

The Food was good and the service was amazing. We had Vikki as our server and she made sure we all was well taken care of. Definitely will be coming back.

Robyn was an awesome waitress. She smiled the whole time we were there. She was friendly and kind and contributed largely to our positive experience. The food was also very good: servings were large, flavor good, temperature appropriate for the food. The milkshakes are just ridiculous - in a good way.The only suggestion I have is that you should find a different type of paper towel to sit on the table. The roll we had had food all over the top of it, someone probably laid his/her dirty hands on the top of it to pull one off of the roll.Thank you for the wonderful family experience!

My first stop at the Kalahari! I love their mac n cheese. Vicky was super sweet and made the best mudslide. I ordered the wrong dish and didn't realize until it arrived at my table; Vicky was very sweet and understanding, and I got my intended dish in a quick turn around. I'll definitely be back this weekend!

Do not waste your money, drive down to Steak N Shake or McDonalds, you'll have just as good food for 1/4th of the price. I feel like we got robbed. Paid $75 for a medium well burger that was served so raw I could couldn't eat it. My husband's burger was also too raw, but he powered though cause he was hungry. My daughter ordered a soda, we're still waiting for it. And the kicker was we get our check and were charged an extra $3 each for fries. & don't get me started on the milkshake that looked nothing like the menu. Two thumbs down!!

We came on a slow weekday, Thursday, beginning of February, and we really enjoyed it! No wait lines for anything, we received our food really fast! Our waitress was amazing and the food was great! Very generous portions!We really weren't sure how this restaurant would be being a part of a waterpark resort but we were plesantly surprised!Very nice, comfy, quiet ambience to relax from the busy and loud waterpark! Very clean and well maintained.I tried the korean glazed salmon and my husband is always weary of restaurant salmon but he almost ate all of my meal after trying it because it was really good! Nice and juicy salmon, and the veggies and rice it came with was wonderful.Jusy make sure if you are coming from the waterpark, don't come in with your bathing suit. They require you wear shoes and shirt over your bathing suit to enter the restaurant.Overall, highly recommend!

This food was absolutely delicious. but what made everything so much better was the amazing service. our waiter, Shawndre, he was so funny, sweet, and very bright. his energy made our day and dinner so amazing. i couldn’t of asked for better service. definitely will be coming back here everytime.

I never tired of Cedar Point as a kid, and now it’s my turn to make those memories with my kiddos. We have been pass holders for years. From the kiddos being younger, there was tons of enjoyment for them in Snoopy Land and Kiddy Kingdom. To now then being older and finally riding 48” rides. They are already excited for the next few years to hit the last milestone of the 56” rides. Lots of memories to last ours and their lifetime! There is something for everyone!!Lots of restaurant choices. I do how we highly suggest the Dining pass or plan (depending if daily visit or pass holder) you absolutely get your monies worth and won’t be disappointed either!If you visiting for the day as well, the fast lane plus is a great add on, to make sure you get the best bang for the day. Also the all day refill cups, fillips available every 15 minutes.Younger, older, kids, no kids. You won’t be disappointed!!

Went here for my senior trip, and it was a great experience!There was quite a bit of good things at cedar point. It had quite a huge variety of rides for both beginners and coaster enthusiasts in general. It also has classic activists for a park, such as a merry-go-round and bumper cars, both of which are really fun.It also has a really cool arcade to visit when you’re wanting time between rides. Wait times can be long at times, but for the most part are fair and can be avoided with fast lane.With the lake nearby, you can cool off too if you have trunks. The pools/hot tubs are also great to visit inbetween!My only irk in general is the prices. Most food spots in the premises are grossly overpriced, 20 dollars for things that would cost only 10 outside of the park. Drinks are also super expensive and not worth it.Overall the park is really fun and I’d love to visit in the future to ride more rides. I loved the maverick as my first roller coaster, and j can’t wait to go on more!

Great price with the Summer season pass ($100). I was in town for a week and opted for this option. Parking was included.Great assortment of ride for all ages and the park was not too busy during the week mid June.I’m from FL and have been to all the parks in Orlando/Tampa. It is nice to have fewer people than at Disney plus this park is great for coasters!Food options are good but the price is what you would expect. If you plan on 10am-10pm day I would do the meal pass.

Cedar Point was a great experience. We took the VIP Tour with a fantastic tour guide. The rides were really enjoyable and the staff were friendly. Clean bathrooms.I would recommend the meal plan, great food options on it. Drinks included is worth it as well. If you're going for multiple days get parking included in your tickets! It's worth it.I wish there were fans, misters, or shade in the line queue because it was very warm.Drinks aren't too expensive if you go to the right places.The biggest reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the rides wouldn't stop going down. We missed a couple of coasters because they were always down.All around a great trip though!

I hadn't been to Cedar Point in 6 years. Lots of new, updated rides!! The park was clean and surprisingly not crowded. Zero wait for any of the womens restrooms. There was nostalgic 90's music playing throughout the whole park all day. The employees were all friendly. The temperature was high 60's but a little chilly because of the wind off the lake. Several rides were closed for the day because it was windy.We got tickets online ahead of time with meal passes and saved a ton!Overall, I highly recommend. Minimal wait times for everything. Upbeat vibes. Very fun crowd.

Visited for the first time this year. Officially my favorite place in the world ever. I’m a roller coaster enthusiast, and have been wanting to visit since the days of Millennium Force being built. I hyped myself for it for 21 years, and it still surpassed my expectations massively. All the rides were over the top epic. My entire top 10 got thrown into madness, as nearly every ride I went on was dethroning a coaster from somewhere else. That back row night ride of Steel Vengeance for my first ever ride was basically life changing, not even a ride, it was a full blown life experience. Fast passes were worth it, got to do every major coaster multiple times. The park doesn’t even look real as you are approaching, but rather some person’s roller coaster tycoon creation. The park was clean, even smelled good. The food was excellent. I will return every year for the rest of my life.

We traveled here from the Dallas area for my son‘s birthday. He is a roller coaster fanatic. This place did not disappoint!Plenty of roller coasters to make everyone in your family happy, from mild to wild!Steel Vengeance was our favorite, followed by Millennium Force.The park was kept exceptionally clean, and we always felt safe.The safety protocols for each ride were interesting to watch. Rides go “down” frequently, and the procedures to bring them back online takes some time.We stayed at one of the Park hotels and got one hour early entry, also a wristband for unlimited sodas throughout the day.

Cedar Point is one of the greatest places to visit for all members of the family! It is a coaster enthusiast's dream ( 17 in all ), great rides of all kinds for the rest of the family, and really good entertainment. The food choices were also top notch! They also have a pretty nice water park for the hotter days. I would give Cedar Point 10 out of 10 stars, a must place to visit! The beach on Lake Erie was also great! Sand was so soft and felt good between the toes! Beautiful!!

Go mid-week, arrive early and wear comfortable clothes. The park was very clean and well staffed, but some rides were closed intermittently. The park has every type of ride you can imagine! The quality of the food was awesome. Purchase the dining plan and share with a friend. Camp Snoopy rides were great for small kids. Gift shops were expensive - but the merchandise is well made. We will be back next year for two days!

The best amusement park in the country. So many great rides for all visitors. Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance are two of the best coasters in the world and I highly recommend riding them at night if you get the chance.

Hands down the best amusement park I've ever been to. Each ride was unique and had some interesting fun fact to it, also each ride has its own variety of shirts with some of the coolest artwork I could conceive for a Rollercoaster T-shirt. Smoothest entering/exiting from an amusement park too, took less than 15 minutes to get from my parking space back onto the highway.

Unfortunately the Top Thrill 2 coaster was not operational on this day but it was still a great time! Nice change from my home rides at Universal, Sea World and Disney World. The lines weren't long; however, the Maverick was constantly breaking down then reopening. That was very frustrating so after waiting in line for an hr hoping it would start, I gave up trying to ride it. The views of Lake Erie were spectacular!

Just loved the staff, very helpful and friendly. Just loved the food, the different attractions, and the rides were amazing. A very fun adventurous day. Also, I had so much fun, that I did not realize all the good walking exercise, that I accomplished. Thank you, Cedar Point! All smiles 😃.

Wow! What a place!This really is the roller coaster capital of the world! And they are all SO good: Fast, Smooth, Fun!They have many dining options; my only complaint is they do not have an allergen list online, as places, such as Disney World, have.We go at least 4 times every year and have invested in a gold pass; they are so worth it!Personally, my favorite ride is Millennium Force, don't be afraid! Be sure to give it a shot!Very clean, maintained well, and have beautiful landscaping! And be sure to visit for Halloweekends! They have everything decorated to the nines! It's amazing! 😍P.S. A pro tip from someone who goes every year: Do not go expecting short lines! Be ready to wait and have patience!Enjoy the 42 photos I took! 😃

It’s fun for the whole family. Rides for all ages. Many, many roller coasters. Don’t think you can finish all rides in one day. Rides are fairly close to each other which could save some time. Park was kept clean but restrooms needed some attention.

We went on a Sunday mid summer expecting long wait lines with the regular tickets and were surprised to find relatively short wait lines! Steel Vengeance and Maverick were both just over an hour at peak day, but otherwise the large coasters were about a half hour wait and we were able to go on them a couple times each! We also had the all day dining wristband for $79 each which included parking and park entry, which gives the ability to eat a meal every 90 minutes. I had $18 at Panda Express and a $16 burrito bowl included with the dining pass, paid for itself quickly considering I didn't have to pay $30 to park!

I took the kids up for two days at Cedar Point for one last fling before school started. The three of us had such a good time. I highly recommend staying at Breakers Hotel in Cedar Point. It was so convenient to be able to just walk over to the park or back to the hotel to take a break throughout the day.

Great park, great rides. Free parking is great.One thing to keep in mind, get Fast Lane Passes if you are able to afford them, definitely a time saver. My boys were able to ride 7 roller coasters with those passes in 1 hr and 10 min - and that's on a Saturday right before a Labor Day.

It was a great experience for me and my friends. It is a huge amusement park and it is impossible not to have fun. We had unlimited fun with the gold pass and can enter the park whenever we want. I do not recommend you to go on the weekend because the queues are very long for great roller coasters such as Steel Vengeance, Maverick and Millennium Force. In short, it was a great day.

We got a hotel on Sunday and spent Monday in the park. It was my two youngest sons first trip and they haven't stopped talking about it all week. Hour early access to the park and short lines made this a trip to remember. Top thrill 2 was intense and I love coasters so the fact that it was the longest wait of the day was quickly overshadowed by the adrenaline. If you can swing it you gotta get the fast pass, you won't be disappointed.

Have a really great day today. This was our first time going and the park was very clean and the right operators were definitely keeping the lines moving. The handicap elevator at Gemini was closed and so my husband had to walk up about 12 steps to get to the platform. However, everybody else was super nice when dealing with the accessibility passes. There are two or three different types of accessibility passes and they were pretty confusing to us, but it seemed like each ride handled them differently. I also had a disability pass and on some rides I didn't have as well of an experience as my husband did. I think it was because we had the two different colored disability sheets.Steel vengeance at night is amazing!! Highly recommend. The daily meal deal where you eat every 90 minutes was amazing for our party of five. We had a wonderful time today!

Absolutely had the best time at Cedar Point, it’s not your stereotypical Amusement park, in my opinion, it’s better! So many rides for all ages and even for those with physical disabilities. The wait times were not bad, longest wait we actually decided to endure was 45 minutes. There were some rides with 60+ minute wait time and we just did not go there. Cedar Point has a wonderful app where one can see wait times and closures of rides in real time, as long as one is in the park. I highly recommend downloading the app, it helps not just for the rides but also to store tickets and one’s parking location. Lockers are available to rent and leave one’s belongings, but I found that each ride has a storage bin and one can leave one’s things there while riding and they are fine. Of course the park is not responsible in case someone does steal one’s things, but I found it to be very secure in the park.There are many places to eat and one very convenient thing to prepay is an all day or all season cup. With the cup, one can refill every 15 minutes at any of the refreshment areas, there are Coke products only. There’s also all day dining options, at that point one can eat every 90 minutes, but in my opinion that is not worth it. The drink special definitely is worth it as one has to stay hydrated. The price of the ticket is definitely worth it and if one lives nearby, I say, get a season pass!

Went on passholder preview day and rode the new Top Thrill 2 and is by far the best ride ever. Cedar Point is by far my favorite place in the world to go in the summer and making great memories with the family and friends. Not a bad ride in the park.

Cedar Point is definitely a good time. Buckle up for some world famous coasters. Food at the park is average so don't come thinking about fancy meals rather think fair food. Lines for rides move along pretty quick. The park is pretty clean. We didn't get a chance to do the water park but others in our group enjoyed it. It was very easy to enter and exit the park. We stayed at Hotel Breakers so we loved that we could walk to the parks from our hotel. There are plenty of rides for people who don't necessarily like huge coasters. Watch out for the Mayflies if you're there from May to July. They come out when the sun goes down.

We were really excited to check both the amusement and the water park. Both were a lot of fun, even if quite a few rides still weren't open.Good signage, maps and assistance from park employees. The biggest thing we were trying to figure out ahead of time, and again while at the park, was how to do both parks in one day since that was all we had.I feel that the website could be clearer as to how to do both parks in one day if that's all you have. They have bundle tickets for each park separately, but not to do both parks, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense for people who don't live here.We did get a pass that invoice included parking and food every 90 minutes. But all of the food is just standard meat and wheat. So if you can't eat gluten and are a vegetarian or vegan, good luck. As expensive as the food is here (like most amusement parks) giving some vegan/gluten free options would be extremely helpful for those of us that don't eat the SAD diet.The water park does not have any towels on site either. Which I also couldn't find on their website. So make sure to bring your own or you're out of luck.Overall, we had a good time and my kids were happy with the adventure. It just wasn't something I'd care to do again.

I had an exhilarating time at Cedar Point Amusement Park! This park truly lives up to its reputation as the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World." The variety of rides is impressive, with something for every thrill-seeker. From the heart-pounding twists of Steel Vengeance to the high-speed drops of Millennium Force, each coaster offers a unique and unforgettable experience. The park itself is well-maintained, with friendly staff and plenty of amenities. If you're a fan of roller coasters or just looking for a fun day out, Cedar Point is a must-visit destination!

Halloween weekend was fun. Many people, every game was with a least 1.5 hour wait but they were all worth it. Food is good, highly recommend buying the ticket+food bundle if you are planning to stay there for lunch and dinner.

UPDATE: just visited this weekend and while it’s still the best place on Earth, we had a frustrating visit. We had early entry but all the good it did us as all the coasters were still being maintenanced up until regular opening time. Was really looking forward to riding TT2 but it’s closed indefinitely for safety reasons (understandable). We did not get to ride Steel Vengeance as it shutdown multiple times. Still love this place and won’t change my rating but I hope they get their act together.Oh my, what can I say about this wonderful place? It is without a doubt my absolute favorite destination in the world and I wish I made time to go more often. I don’t think they have a single ride that isn’t amazing (Well maybe Gemini, cause it nearly broke my neck on that last turn). I’m glad I was able to visit this place and ride Mean Streak and Wicked Twister before they were torn down to make way for other attractions. Maverick was my favorite roller coaster in the world until Steel Vengeance debuted. Now I can’t wait to head back here this summer to try out the new Top Thrill Dragster 2. Also, as a bonus, my favorite restaurant in the world Famous Dave’s BBQ is right out the side entrance on the pier. Speaking of Famous Dave’s, on one trip Top Thrill Dragster was shut down all day so we stuffed ourselves at Famous Dave’s and had about 20 minutes till the park closed so decided to give it another try. It was operational with no line and all of a sudden we were panicking because we were so full from dinner. But, a short 15 second ride later on TTD and I guess the food incinerated in our stomachs at 120mph cause we all felt great afterwards.

Cedar Point is an absolute thrill-seeker’s paradise! The variety of roller coasters and rides is unparalleled, offering something for everyone from adrenaline junkies to families with young children. The park is well-maintained and clean, with plenty of food options and amenities. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience even on busy days. The views of Lake Erie add a scenic backdrop to the excitement. Every visit to Cedar Point is a memorable adventure. Highly recommend for a fun-filled day of amusement!

Cedar Point is the benchmark all other parks should be measured.Excellent execution all around.Staffing at each ride means faster cycles and happier guests.The drink stations are clean and organized with a lot of locations.Multiple kid areas with rides tailored for specific age groups.Top of the line roller coaster selection.Please implement the Cedar Point execution at all the Six Flags parks!

The best place on the planet. The ride choices are non ending, steel vengeance, millennium force, and although Maverick is completely overrated, it is still good. The 1-2 punch with Vengeance and Maverick is great considering they are right next door. Every time I come here I have a blast, but is it better than Kings Island? It's close.

We had fun just because of the enjoyment of the rides generally. However, there was a lot of cons.-First issue was we went this past weekend (May 18-19) and apparently Saturday was a popular field trip day. There were many and I mean many groups that were such as band kids and "junior trips" and such. Which made for the park to be very crowded. There needs to be a capacity limit to make it more enjoyable for guests. We went on 4 coasters in 8 hours. Luckily we bought the season passes, but had we only been there 1 day I would have been very upset to get on only 4 rides the whole day especially since ticket prices are so high. Fast passes are not affordable for families especially after having to pay for admission on top of it and the expensive prices of food.We had 5 people in our group. I think the website and the front gates should notify the public when there is a mass amount of large groups and schools/school activities attending. We waited 2.5 hours for the Raptor.-Next issue was for many of the big coasters you have to buy a locker for each ride if you brought anything like a draw string back pack. It was like $3 each locker. When you do that 5 or so times...that's $15 on just lockers. It's also very time consuming to have to walk over and pay at the kiosk. Some kiosks are broke. When the park is so crowded those few extra minutes matter because many people are getting in line while you are trying to get a locker and can add a extra 20 to 30 mins to your wait time on the ride. A few select rides have bins you can put things in at the top where the ride is. I don't understand why ALL the rides do not have this option. Just seems like another way for the park to get your money. I recommend trying to take as less as possible and trying to fit anything you may need into a fanny pack. As fanny packs are allowed on most rides. On one ride I tried to put my phone in a bin and I was told I had to keep my phone in my pocket instead which I thought was odd. I thought they usually do not want phones on your person at all.-They of course price gouge all the food and drinks. Especially since they don't allow any outside food or drinks. Therefore, you almost have no choice, but to buy their crazy priced things. It was $100 to feed 5 of us chicken strips and fries and that was with 3 kids sharing 2 chicken strips meals and they each got 2 strips because they are big. We ended up having a lot of chicken that got thrown away because everyone was full. I would recommend to share a meal between every 2 ppl. Drinks were over $5 a piece. If you have the time to go out to your car and eat I would bring a cooler and do that instead and try to eat something large before arriving so you are full the better part of the day.Not many food options corn dogs,pizza and chicken strips or the diner. All food places were a 45min wait or more-I am not sure this would work, but I think as soon as you get there go to the back of the park and work your way to the front. That way you're in the back while everyone is up front and then you're heading to the front while everyone is doing rides in the back.-Saturday about 45 mins until close they shut down the tall swings and "Gatekeeper" for maintenance and said it wouldn't open back up the rest of the day. That was disappointing as there wasn't much else in that area we wanted to ride and we didn't have enough time to walk over to another part of the park to ride something else.Sunday we had about an hour before we had to leave (before close. Around 5pm).We got in line for Steel Vengeance which said a 75 min wait. We stood there about 10 mins before a voice came over the speaker that they were having "maintenance issues" and the wait time was going to take longer. We ended up wasting our last hour on the park just waiting in line for the train and walking back to the front.-lastly at closing time there needs to be people in the parking lot directing traffic and getting exit lines to move smoothly. We waited an hour at a stand still in the parking lot before we finally made it to the exit.

Went here for my daughter's birthday on opening day. I have to say, this is the best amusement park around. She rode every ride with the fast pass. Although the weather was not the best, she had the best birthday.The top thrill ride 2 was amazing.However, Maverick seemed to be her favorite.I would definitely recommend this park to anyone that loves those thrilling coasters.

Wow, what an amazing amusement park! The thrill rides were absolutely heart-pumping! I had an incredible time with my friends, and we couldn't get enough of the adrenaline rush. The park is vast, offering a full day's worth of exploration and excitement for visitors of all ages. I can't wait to go back for more! If you're a fan of thrilling adventures and fun activities, do yourself a favor and experience this park at least once - you won't regret it!

Absolutely amazing experience! Best theme park trip I've had! It was impressively clean, well maintained, and all of the employees were dedicated to safety and their checklists. They were all helpful and pleasant, and fast! The weather was amazing, and the crowds were not bad at all. The well placed and thoughtful arrangement of the park in regards to seating and shade is second to none! 10/10!!

No new rides to speak of this year, and the Top Thrill Dragster has been decommissioned, however that thing has been mostly nonfunctional for years. Cedar Point still the best amusement park around by quiet some distance. Ticket prices here are very reasonable to. If you're from Michigan you can get a whole family of 4 in for the price of 1 addition ticket to Disney :)Went on Saturday in late August, and lines are very reasonable, even Millennium Force was only 40 minutes. We got on every ride that we wanted to do with a few hours to spare. Also recommend the food pass. If you're going to eat at least twice it will pay for itself.

Always a great place for fun. Plenty of rides, shows, games, beach activities and food options. There is something for everyone here at this park. Been here hundreds of times since I was a kid and every single visit is uniquely different. The best park in the world, but I’m also incredibly biased.

This is a must go amusement park in the Northeast area! We visit CP almost every year, we live 2 hours away, but it never disappoints us! Young and old have a ball at CP!

Great park. Very clean. Needed more shady areas or cool off zones. It's was super hot and we left the park early because we were so hot. Long waits at ride that said 15 min wait ended up being more like 45 min.

For the thrill it's pretty awesome and they have plenty of places to shop and/or eat. My family stayed in one of their wheelchair accessible deluxe cabins but they weren't all that comfortable. For my little brother (the one that needed the wheelchair accessible portion) it was more than comfortable enough. I recommend you bring your own blankets if you sleep in any of their cabins since the ones they provide are thin and scratchy (but I guess that encourages you to buy a blanket and sweatshirt in the park). Everything was extremely expensive (as you would expect from a highly successful amusement park), but anything we bought was of decently good quality. Their Snoopy merchandise was also really cute. We went during the first weekend it was opened for the year. The Top Thrill 2 was only going for 1 day before they shut it down to make it more safe/comfortable (which was kind of a bummer because it messed with our coaster plans). If you are close enough to make this a one day trip, I would, but you'll be pretty tired at the end of the day, so plan accordingly. One thing that I noticed as did someone who works there talked to us about, it's not very accessible to those in wheelchairs (I'm not talking about the rides here). Most stores/food places don't have automatic buttons to open the doors and it would be a little difficult for wheelchairs to get through some doorways due to a little bump in the entrance. There should also be an additional area or two for those who are disabled and/or have mobility issues to just rest (away from the loud speakers and scorching sun). If they can make some changes to make the park more accessible and inclusive (without raising prices a ridiculous amount), I could see myself giving more stars.

Another great weekend at Cedar Point. It was a bit rainy but most rides still stayed open, and the ones that did go down were only down for a minimal time. Wait times did get a bit high in the afternoon, but the app was handy to check wait times ahead of time. Love all the coasters. We stayed at the lighthouse point cabins and the view and accomodations are always great.

This is an amazing amusement park. We came in 2022 and came back in 2023. It’s beautifully maintained and clean. The rides are great! Expect to wait 60-90 minutes for the thrill rides. Food is expensive and greasy so best bring a packed lunch. They have cute Squishmellows to buy which the kids love. This is a wonderful family holiday destination.

Great day at the amusement park. Lines were moving, not too many people. Nice weather. A couple of rides were shutdown after we waited more than an hour in line. Aside from that, no complaints.

It's one of my favorite vacation destinations. Cedar Point has probably the best variety of rides and attractions to entertain just about anyone. It had been more than 10yrs since my last visit, and they had upgraded quite a bit. We loved the food pass option, which worked well with my 2 kids.10/10 We will be going back soon

Buy tickets in advance and take advantage of bundles!!! We got tickets for $40 that included unlimited drinks and free parking. I wish I would have added unlimited dining to at least two of the tickets because you can get food every 30 minutes. For the unlimited drinks you can get one every 15 minutes. We visited on a Tuesday in June and it wasn’t super crowded but the roller coaster waits were still about an hour. The food we got was expensive but hot. ($18 for 3 chicken tenders and fries) Variety of kids rides and adult rides. The staff we encountered were friendly. There are also a few shows to watch. Games and arcade cost extra. We drive from Columbus and were there 8 hours and didn’t walk the whole park. There’s definitely a lot to do for most ages.

Amazing place, literally the best theme park in the entire world. Full of nostalgia for me but just plain fun for anyone. Families dominate the park, the employees are all so friendly and helpful. I recommend buying the drink package. My son is handicapped and had such an amazing time even in a wheelchair!

Sandusky, OH 44870, USA

A nice and historical experience. It is the first Presidential Library in the USA and it didn't disappoint with the wealth of history. Would have loved to read more about the 'servants' and or enslaved peoples experiences of the time.

I came to charge my car at this museum and discovered a gem! We only visited the outdoor portion of the museum but there was plenty to see. We were most interested by the diversity of the trees and as you can see took some pics of the ones we've never seen before. Very cool place and we'll definitely be back in the future!

Visited this place over 20+ years ago. Stopped today coming back from the lake to show my friend how cool it is. Arrived late, so didn't have time for a tour. But just the outside of the Library and Residence are marvel's to look at. There are nicely paved paths which lead to the gravesite, of which there are many marked trees and some interesting ones. Spiegal Grove is awesome location and property.

The house and museum are state owned, and not a part of the National Park service. As such, if you have a NPS pass, it will not be accepted. Not a knock on them, just a bit of information to pass along. The museum is well laid out, but to view things chronologically, I would recommend starting downstairs, the covering the upper part. The house is absolutely beautiful. 20,000+ Sq. Ft. and some the best Bierstadt artwork you could possibly see. The park itself is about 25 acres in size, and comprises a fraction of the original land holdings. Rutherford and Lucy's markers are on the grounds, but I did not have time to get pictures of those, unfortunately. All-in-all, a good way to spend part of a day, and plenty of room for a pic-nic to boot!

This was one of the better Presidential homes I have been too. They gave you a very insightful tour of the house and family. The museum was really neat. I love learning about our countries history. Check this place out of you can.

Good museum displaying the life of Rutherford and Lucy Hayes’ lives. Spiegel Grove and the grounds are beautiful and a great place to take in the nature.

This is a great place to visit for anyone in the area, or passing through. The sheer amount of preserved historical items is astonishing. The museum is very well put together. Our tour guide for the residence was very informative, friendly, and kept the tour entertaining. For guests with disabilities, they even restored the elevator so you can see the second floor of the house.

A great way to spend a few hours.The museum is modern and interesting. The house is opulent and the craftsmanship and decor is aesthetically pleasing. The grounds are stunningly beautiful and well-kept. You'll see nice landscaping and encounter friendly squirrels.The best part of this experience is the staff. The women inside of the museum (the cashier and gift shop attendant) were very nice. The historians inside of the home were dedicated and our guide took personal pride in showing off the house and giving our tour group interesting facts. It's evident that the staff really cares about this special place.

Excellent museum highlighting a unique president’s life and accomplishments. Home and estate are beautiful. Don’t miss it if you are in the area.

We did not have time to tour the mansion or library but stopped to walk the grounds and see the grave site. Amazing grounds to walk around searching for squirrel doors. Very relaxing and the home from the outside is amazing. You can walk the grounds and see the graves with no admission necessary.

We have visited all of the US Presidential Libraries and the museum portion was good. However, the Hayes house was very good. Our docent, Sarah, was super! She had a great personality and really knew the details about the house and the people who had lived in it. A few visitors asked questions that Sarah didn't know the answer but she had a tablet that she accessed quickly and supplied the answer. The grounds that surrounds the museum and house are absolutely beautiful and worth the time to walk around them. We spent about an hour and a half to visit the museum, the house tour was about an hour, and to walk around the grounds took about 45 minutes. In our opinion, it's a worth while visit.

What an enjoyable day at the presidential library/museum! The house tour was outstanding! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing with those in attendance. The museum was also very interesting. I learned a lot about RBH and the era during which he was president.

There is much to learn about this Ohio president, and this is the place to do it. There is a well curated museum and a fascinating house tour. What's more, the grounds are beautiful.

We were fortunate enough to visit on a cool rainy day when there were very few visitors. My wife and I were the only ones in our group for the house tour. Our guide was very well informed on the history of the house and the Hayes family. We were able to see and do things that are not normally part of the tour.The view from the fourth floor was amazing. Incredible experience!

Today has been busy, but in a good way 😌I brought Remi along to my doctor's appointment a few towns away.I had to stop by Bailiwicks Coffee Company in Tiffin and get a hot Irish Cream latte 😋 If you're in town, I recommend stopping by for an excellent coffee ☕️ Make sure you walk around inside and check out the beautiful artwork ♡ I saw the Marilyn Monroe drawing and was instantly in love.On our way back to Fremont, I stopped by Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums so Remi could walk around and explore all the smells.Even though it's March, flowers are budding and some trees as well 🌹 I think the rose garden will be beautiful this year ♡ I've loved coming here since I was a girl. I was filled with all the memories while walking through the gardens.I always feel better after walking through the woods on the trails.#smalltown #Fremont #Ohio #rutherfordhayes #history #rosegarden #coffee #dog #Remi #thisishome #proudofmyhometown #beauty #amandascott #sharingiscaring #advocate #TheMoreYouKnow #viewsfordays

Went to the Rutherford B Hayes museum and property and was awestruck. It was totally worth the visit. The mansions contents are priceless and takes you back in a time when the United States was young and vibrant. The property is beautiful. As I was guided through a tour there it was almost as if I could feel an unexplainable aura in the very air as I mentally absorbed the sights and sounds regarding this "American" family. Learned much concerning the Hayes couple and their whole lineage. Their contributions towards the success of the United States as a country is truly historic and of a legendary quality. There is much too experience here. If you have the opportunity pay the place a visit. If you enjoy United States history my guess is you will be genuinely moved.

Incredible historical estate to explore and tour.$20 per adult ($2 off for AAA members) and you get access to a guided tour of the home, self guided tour of the museum, and able to walk the grounds. You're able to walk the grounds, for free, if uninterested in museum or home.The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Those who were operating the desk at the museum and giving the tours, all were very well educated on Hayes, and truly held a passion in sharing the history of our 19th President.The grounds are incredibly beautiful, 25 acres, and a mile of paved path that takes you around the outskirts of the property and back to the Presidential Tomb where Hayes, his wife, and there eldest son who was the last to live within the home and is credited for the structure of the museum are all buried.The museum houses three floors of Incredible artifacts from the families personal items, as well as random historical items collected over the years by their son, who, was a major history buff and enjoyed collecting.The home is a 31 room mansion that you'll tour by guide for about an hour getting some great insight regarding the home and family history.I spent about 4 hours to see everything.I've toured some major historical estates before - George Washington's, Robert Lee's, Eisenhower's and others. And, I can honestly say, that this estate is comparable to any of them. A truly magnificent historical gem that any one with any interest in presidential history, or history in general, most definitely should visit.A great tribute to our Nation's 19th President and well worth the visit.

Fun to see a president home. His historical life. Great for the entire family.

This place is really impressive. You don't really get a feel for exactly how tall this monument is, until you are standing underneath of it looking up. It was a shame that we weren't able to go up to the observation deck, as out time was short, and the line for the elevator was way too long. What an awesome view the property offers though. Truly an honorable memorial for Perry. Next time we come, we will make it a point to ride up to the top. I'm sure that the view is breathtaking

Our family recently visited Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial, and it was an amazing experience. The views from the top are stunning, offering a breathtaking panorama of Lake Erie and the surrounding islands. The historical significance of the memorial, commemorating the Battle of Lake Erie and promoting peace, made it even more meaningful. The visitor center had engaging exhibits that for both adults and kids alike. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend for a family day trip!

A must visit place in Put-In Bay. The view from the top of the observatory was awesome! The park rangers were friendly and helpful. The ticket to the top of the tower was $10 for adults. It takes around a minute in a classic old elevator to reach the top. The rangers will be there to explain the brief history. In the top there are information boards and also the guards who can explain the view and the information about the islands in sight.

If you want the most fantastic view of the island, you can only go here. It has an elevator to the top to see the whole surrounding islands and area. The monument has great information in the visitor center that tells you all about the battle, history, and the people involved. It is run by park service folk that will answer any of your questions and are friendly and professional. It is also one of the taller monuments in all of the United States. It truely is a beautiful monument, view, and amazing part of history.

Didn't go up: I didn't buy a ticket at the visitor center some distance away. Rotonda is accessible but not the monument. 35 steps up is the elevator that takes one to the top observation deck. Must be a fantastic view, as is looking across the lake from the ground.

Great views from the top! Inside the moment there's a nice history of the monument and the area. It's right next to the Lake Erie shoreline so it's very scenic.

Great memorial! Love the views you get of the different islands, Canada and Lake Erie as a whole!The park rangers were very nice and I was impressed with their knowledge of history!My only complaint is that I wish you didn’t have to reserve a date or time but that’s all! Highly recommend you stop here, it’s worth the time and money!

We took the Ferry to get to the island to see this monument. You have to go to the Visitor's Center to schedule a time & buy tickets to go to the top. We ran into a problem, though. The elevator quit working while we were at the top. We got stuck up there for about an hour which pushed us to get back to the Ferry in time to leave for the day. You got to know everyone while up there. Luckily it was a beautiful day to be stuck.

We didn't go inside because you need to purchase tickets at the visitor's center. Nice view of the water on either side.

This National historic site you must take the ferry to get to it. Ferry rsy id by car w4.00 esch way, on foot 9.00 esch way. Then take island shuttle to the momumentThe monument is very nice with an elevator to take you to the top. Cost 10.00 for an adult.

We enjoyed our visit to the memorial but were disappointed that the elevator is out of service due to a lightning strike. I was at the top years ago and it offers a great view far across the lake. Nice visitors center with information on the battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. There is actually six officers, three American and three British that are buried under the monument itself. When we were there, two people were dressed as a British officer and sailor and gave a demonstration of firing war-era flintlocks.

I didn't know anything about this memorial until we were on the island and to discover the history behind it was informative and interesting. Unfortunately the elevator was down and we were not able to go to the top, which I'm sure provides breathtaking views. It was still amazing to go into the rotunda and see the inscriptions inside.

Beautiful huge monument that you can see from a good distance. There is plenty of room to walk around it or sit on a wall right up against the lake.

It’s a beautiful place . It’s clean and spacious. It Has space to sit and chill. We and go on top of the tower through the lift. We did that too. It was a good experience. However i would suggest getting the tickets for visiting the tower from the visitor center as it has a lil bit of a walk. The views were amazing from the top.

We had an absolutely AWESOME visit to the Perry's Monument during our recent visit to Ohio. I brought my daughters to see where I grew up as a kid, and hadn't been to the top of the monument in about 15 years. The Park Rangers were so professional and welcoming! We were pleasantly surprised when our interagency pass that we earned from being retired disabled military veterans, admitted our whole family. Thank you all for such a memorable visit!

Beautiful park, memorial, and museum.Cleanest bathrooms around. Fountains have filtered water fill stations.

Awesome view on top of the monument. On a clear day. You can see Canada and Cedar Point. We'll worth the $10.

This tower and museum is the best thing to do in Put-in Bay, other than water sports and spending time in parks. The view from the top is great. A must visit.

This whole time I thought it was a lighthouse. I am so glad we checked it out. First National Park I've been to as well! Slowly connecting the dots of America's history, all the lessons that were crammed into a semester of middle school, remembering only enough to pass a test. It's so much more to see it in person and from a place of genuine interest. The NPS has done a great job. I hope to visit many more National Parks to fill up my passport.

Not much to do here, but it's a beautiful place and the view from the top of the memorial is phenomenonal.

Went this weekend but it was closed without any notice. There seems to be some work going on nearby. We were able to just visit from outside. I am sure from up top it would look great. They should update the google maps with correct notices.

This was a very nice trip for my husband myself and our kids. We were able to learn history and explore the tower which has breathtaking views

Didn't even knew this peace memorial existed until our day trip to put in bay. Highly recommend! Don't forget your park pass, it will get you free admission to the top of the monument. Learned some from history about the war of 1812 and how lake eerie was a part of it.

Main building was closed during off season, but it was very pretty and the lawn was well maintained.

This is a wonderful monument with great facilities. The staff is knowledgeable and the view from the top on a clear day is breathtaking. The island has a ton of attractions and entertainment for kids and adults.

The museum is very informative with great displays and an enjoyable short film.

Great little museum and you can go up top to the observation deck. Fourth tallest monument in the US!

Amazing park! Marsh and trails full of cute frogs and turtles, pretty water lily and lots of birds. Great for bird watching, make sure to bring binocular. Another spectacular site is the top of Canada, surrounded by water from 3 directions, almost feels like at the edge of another dimension. Really worth visiting. Great restaurant nearby for fresh water yellow perch, and definitely recommend spend a day in the park. Amenities are clean and very convenient, free shuttle bus to the tip is frequent. 5/5!

The Southern-most point on the Canadian mainland is worthy of a full day trip. The marsh boardwalk is amazing and best enjoyed when the sun is not overhead. The "tip" is fascinating and a great place to watch the sapphire water and lots of birds. And if you can stay late, it becomes a star-gazers paradise.

This was a very fun day. Have been wanting to visit the park for years. The boardwalk in the marsh is very relaxing. We did the canoe tour and it is very informative! The shuttle to the tip is great and the highlight is standing on the sand at the tip of Canada. Awesome!

This is the southern most point of mainland Canada, with beautiful beaches, trails, and a marsh boardwalk. And there’s so much to do, it’s the perfect place for kayaking, bird watching, trail hiking, having a picnic in the summer, or just going for a drive. For me summer is always nice to enjoy the fresh air and the scenery.

Park is huge. There were webs of caterpillars scattered throughout the park ,blanketing the trees. It was very strange to see the density and quantity in the park. Very beautiful greenery. Arrived at the visitor center,very fun viewings and exhibits. Free shuttle to the main attraction of the Ontario 'tip'. It was a short walk to the point where you take a pic and move on as tourists are in a constant rotation.I loved the park,the extensive shoreline and beach scenery but I absolutely hated one major thing: the flies,the swarming insects that bombard you like they are protecting the park from human intruders. It was so bad ,no amount of repellent prevented their never ending attacks. Had to cut the trip short around that area. Still worth the trip.There are other park spaces to explore..one area in the marshes was very nice.Lots of birds and you can rent a canoe in groups or solo. Won't return but I am glad I experienced the park.

One of my favorite parks! This park never disappoints. Travelling by bike is a great way to see it all. Lots of parking options if you are driving and looking for hiking routes. Birdwatching and photographers love coming here too. There is something for everyone! Plan to spend the whole day to enjoy it all. If you want to avoid the crowds, come in the morning.

Loved every bit of it. The lake looks marvelous, and the lakeside wind will definitely put a smile on your face. Refreshing and soothing. The beaches are nice, too. There is a marshland where you can do a boardwalk. One downside is that you won't have a great signal once you are around the visitor center. But it's fine in other parts of the park.

Beautiful National park. Rented Kayaks at Peele Wings shop. Very friendly staff. Lots of trails for hiking ( very easy trails)…biking or driving around. You pay at the main gate and drive in. To get to the tip you need to walk ( about 1km). Spotting Bald Eagle was very cool at the marsh area.

We were really lucky to get the best weather in August 2023 as Canada got the majority of rain during the summer months!We drove right up to the visitor center and took the mini train to "The Tip." The train ride is not only cute but super scenic 😍It's around a 10 - 15-minute walk (depending on your speed) right to the end, and yes, it's truly nature's wonder seeing blue waters on both sides as you walk the stretch of sand. The west waters are more aggressive, while the east side is calm. So if you stop on the beaches marked along the way, choose the one on the east side.Once back at the visitor center, we were able to catch the snake show at the auditorium. They have a cute little gift shop in there and a small discovery center for kids to explore around. The washrooms are clean and well maintained. A must visit for all!!

Very beautiful park. I went there last summer, and it was worth it. It’s very peaceful and we actually saw a deer! There is a diverse variety of plants, and the beach was awesome. The museum was also very interesting. Clean bathrooms. Took some great pictures at the tip. 👍 recommend

What a beautiful park. It is well maintained and all staff were very friendly. The boardwalk was a gorgeous walk and if you come early, you can enjoy it for yourselves. The beach was peaceful and not crowded. Wish the washrooms were cleaner. Worth the 6hr drive back and forth. Highly recommend to visit this place. The tip was breathtaking.

Great park to visit. Lots of spots to have a picnic or lay on the beach and gaze across the horizon. The 'tip' is the main attraction but was a great family and cycling destination too. Also go for a quick stroll through the Marsh.

Great way to experience nature.. wonderful marshes and natural landscapes. The marsh boardwalk has benches along where one can enjoy different facets of the flora and fauna.Pelee point itself is cool being the southern most tip of the country.Would love to go back to do the trails the next time

What an absolutely beautiful national park! 100% worth visiting. Unfortunately I could only stay for a few hours, but I could have easily spent the entire day here. There are hikes (I don’t think they’re very challenging), picnic areas, swimming beaches, and lots of other activities to do. I loved going to the tip area, and the scenery was just incredible. I also love the range of sceneries you can get at this park, to Sandy beaches and rough waves to just kilometres of marsh (highly recommend the marsh boardwalk, by the way). If you’re ever in the area BE SURE to visit!!!

Great place to visit and must see to put in bucket list, we had a great time, we were 5 so we paid parking and group day pass for 16 dollars,. We drove until the visitor center. Ride the bus to go to the tip, it runs every 15 minutes or you can hike to reach the tip. There are clean washroom and lots of picnic tables.

Magical Lake side park location and one of the most beautiful yet most underrated parks in Ontario!It's a large park with many small destinations for you to look for, varying from camp sites to beaches to nature reserves. And the nature reserves (wetlands) area is a must-go! It features a long floating bridge/track to walk into the wetlands and enjoy what it has to offer. Because it's a nature reserve, you can see birds, swans, insects (not the ones that bug you). There's also an observation deck to check on the whole area, amazing!The other famous attraction from the park the the point of course, which is where the park get its name from. So I heard it has a nickname "Ontario's Maldive". I'd say it definitely live up to it (aside from the fact that you cannot get into the water because of generous tides). Taking the park's own tram takes you to the southern most pit of Ontario, which is already a pleasant experience. You'll get the best view to Lake Erie and the shiny sand, all of which give you the vibe of Maldive and tropical scene.Highly recommended!

We visit Point Pelee once a year and it never disappoints. We go during the week in September and its never too busy. We can always find a spot on either side of the peninsula on the beach to chill with our dogs. The trails are always well groomed and all the facilities are clean. Dogs are welcome (on leash) and the cost for the day is excellent, $7.50 per adult, much better than most conservation areas and tons more to explore. Youth under 17 years of age are Free!The boardwalk Marsh walk is also very nice and an easy walk for those that may struggle on the trails.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)Point Pelee National Park is a natural gem with diverse ecosystems, stunning views, and abundant wildlife. The "Tip" offers breathtaking panoramas. Enjoy birdwatching, serene walks, and canoeing. Don't miss the Marsh Boardwalk. The park's flora is impressive. The Visitor Centre is informative. A must-visit for nature lovers! It’s a long drive from Toronto but totally worth it

We love this place. So much to do if that's what you're interested in. We brought our own kayaks and launched them at the rental facility. The launch dock is extremely easy to use. Exploring the marsh from the water was amazing. Came face to face (within a meter) with my first beaver. Once you boat to the other side of the marsh you access another beach on lake Erie. There were no other people in sight. It was super sunny and very hot. Wear a hat and lots of sunscreen.

Point Pelee National Park is the southernmost territory of Canada, at about 42th parallel latitude. This is a place with various of plants and animals, especially birds. I saw dozens kinds of birds, even if I visited here in March, I can imagine how exuberant here in summer time.

Took a trip to Point Pelee for the day and spent about 6-7 hours here just walking around and enjoying the fresh air, also reading all the historical signs and donated benches from families who have been enjoying the park for generations. It was absolutely beautiful, we did take a moment to dip our feet in the water but of course NOT BY THE POINT!! We found out that it’s actually really dangerous to go anywhere in the water towards the point because of the rapid currents and you can definitely see them from land. I definitely want to come back but with bikes this time! (If it’s not the middle of the summer season bring a long sleeve or jacket, it tends to get really cold and breezy)

We went for a day trip there, It was a great and relaxed experience. Entry was around 9 CAD per adult but if you are a family then total family group cost will be 17 which they will take care of themselves which is impressive. Then you can park your car in a parking lot near the visitor centre and it has washrooms, drinking water facility and a free shuttle to the tip running frequently all day till 7 pm. From the park entrance till visiting centre, You will have multiple options to go to beaches on your right side with parking facilities in case you want to visit beaches directly instead of visiting centre. Enjoy your trip 😊

Went to Point Pelee National Park with my girlfriend recently and it's magnificent! The park is vast, pristine and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed walking the trails, visiting the point and swimming in Lake Erie. The boardwalk in the wetlands area is very beautiful and fun! I highly recommend a visit to this awesome Canadian gem of a park! Many thanks to the great people maintaining and working at Point Pelee National Park!

I have visited this place for almost 3-4 times and I can't get over it. The most southern end of Ontario at Point Peele is adventurous and thrilling experience where two sides of the same lake meets and creates beautiful waves. Winter conditions might affect hours and view point but its still worth going to observe natural ecosystem.

Amazing spot for a day trip or camping.Birding enthusiasts haven.Nice beaches too.Parking sometimes fills up so prepare for a walk or go early.

Got to enjoy Point Pelee for the recent solar eclipse! Awesome park! The staff we're very friendly and they had a great ability to handle the large influx of crowds that day. The park itself is pretty large so we were not able to explore the entire thing, especially with the crowds, but what we did see was beautiful!Can't wait to visit again to explore the rest!

Great weekend getaway!! It is the Southern most tip of Canada. Spent almost half a day here walking around and enjoyed the fresh air.Shuttle service is available to the tip and is frequently operated for every 10 to 15 minutes. Well marked trails. The Tip tower is closed for some reason.A lot of bird migration happens here in the park and it is a birder’s paradise.Serene and peaceful National park and would definitely go back again.

Visited Point Pelee National Park and had an amazing time! The drive was scenic and the staff at the visitor center were friendly and helpful. We loved the Marsh Boardwalk and Tilden Woods Trail, both offering unique views and wildlife sightings. The birdwatching was fantastic, especially during migration. The beach on Lake Erie was perfect for relaxing. The park is well-maintained with great amenities. Don’t miss the southernmost tip of mainland Canada! Highly recommend for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Have visited here 3 times now and will keep coming back. Shuttle to tip is fun, frequent and pet friendly. The walk back to the visitors center is nice walk. We did three trails that day. Walk to the tip, marsh trail and woodland nature trail, all were well marked and beautiful on a fall afternoon.

We camped this year! We believe we missed the height of the birds this year. It was still a lovely time. We mostly hiked the trails between Camp Henry and the Tip. We have so much more hiking to cover between the gate and the camp!

Point Pelee National Park is a tranquil haven offering pristine beaches, excellent kayak facilities, scenic cycling trails, and serene surroundings. Whether lounging on the beach, paddling along marshlands, or cycling through lush landscapes, visitors find solace in this natural paradise. A must-visit for nature enthusiasts seeking peaceful retreats.

Drive to the location is pretty scenic, windmills along the road. Wonderful walking trails and mesmerizing to see the actual point one side waves and the other side silent water body. Worth visiting. If you stay after sunset fireflies are the bonus!

The park has lots of things to do, bike, hike, kayak, swim, camp, or just enjoy the beautiful vistas. It is not super large so we were able to do a lot in just one day, the northwest beach was great for relaxing, sandy, no waves and modest incline so it was perfect for throwing a frisbee and a good long swim. Parking, picnic tables and washrooms were all nearby and clean. No reservation is needed for day use, just pay the parking fee (17.50 cad per car) we visited on a Sunday and it was not crowded at all, the only crowded part was the tip, the line for the shuttle that takes you there may get long but it runs every 15-20 minutes so you may wait have to wait on line depending on the time of day or you could spend that time walking there instead.

Great weekend getaway!! Loved visiting the Tip, southernmost point of Canada. Beautiful sights to behold on Lake Erie. Gravel beaches with ample space for picnic and swimming. Took a five into the history of the park by visiting the Delaurier homestead.

It’s was Amazing and they have an in house shuttle service to the Tip. Just that in the Summer the Flys and Mosquitoes are very deadly. They keep biting. So it’s simple need to keep moving.Otherwise the views are blissful and you need your set of people to truly appreciate the views and moments spent there.Shuttle services from the visitor point to the top are only from 10am to 5pm.

Good beaches with childrens playground available. Somewhat crowded in the summertime. Board walk features a lovely walk through wetlands with many flowers in bloom when we were visiting. Good bird watching. Several observation towers to climb

This was my first visit to Point Pelee NP and I would defintely recommend checking it out if you are in the area. A family pass for a day is $17.50 and it includes shuttle to the point. The shuttle takes you close to the point and you walk a bit to actually get to the southernmost point of mainland Canada. The park offered plenty of beaches for swimming as well as restrooms and hiking trails. Best to stop at the visitor center for a map so you know what to do and where! We swam at Sleepy Hallow and it was very nice and peaceful.

Have always loved coming here since I was a kid. Makes a great day trip from Windsor to check out the boardwalk, the trails and the point. Always make sure I get out there every year one way or another.

This is a park suitable for visiting at any time of the year. Those who like romance can come in late autumn, but there are also moving beautiful scenery in the snowy winter. The town is quiet and peaceful, with a harmonious atmosphere, delicious food, beautiful scenery and friendly locals. It is THE place to escape from the city and take a break.

A great place. Really cool. The southern most point of Canada. It was gorgeous. The staff were friendly. Washrooms were clean. Cute little gift shop. Great museum like space. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because the awesome observation tower at the tip was closed.

One of Ontario's unique provincial parks since it is the most southern point without getting on a ferry.Great camping and canoeing here. Make sure to visit The Tip and take those social pics

Wonderful place to visit, as it called tip of Canada you would get a different feel when visiting. Van drive is there from the visitor centre for every 20mins, very helpful. After visiting the tip you can do a lot more things around the area with the map or not it is very easy to locate the attractions. There are so many places to take a dip in the water as well.

Great views of Lake Erie. Plan in advance if you're visiting during weekends. Car Parking is limited and only a few are allowed. There's a free shuttle inside to take to the tip. Sunsets are beautiful and the lake waters are crystal clear. Swimming and Surfing not allowed.

Absolutely amazing place to visit. I hadn't been back since I was in middle school almost 25 years ago. What an amazing transformation and yet still very familiar. I had a blast with my family and will try to get back before another couple decades pass. What a great place to spend the day with loved ones and honestly it's so great maybe even a great place to walk around with enemies as there is so many cool exhibits to look at. Really recommend to anyone who has a few or more hours and is in the area.

Fantastic zoo! We went in purchasing basic admission and came out running to the membership sign up stand. The animals at this zoo were more lively and active than any other zoo I've been too. There were so many baby animals to see. The aquarium and aviary was stellar and large. The reptile house is always my favorite but sadly the largest, the alligator, was sleepy.General admission for two adults is $58.00. Parking is $11.00 at the Hippo road entrance parking lot. We decided to buy the membership because we absolutely will be back! We were able to combine our ticket purchase from today and the total for the family membership was $48.00! That pays for itself in two visits and you receive free parking with that membership. We didn't stop at any of the restaurants, but maybe next time.

We love the zoo! It's close to our house, and we have a membership. I highly recommend getting one. The zoo has plenty of special events throughout the year, but the Lights Before Christmas is an absolute must. The work they've put into the new exhibits and renovations is amazing. A few of our favorite attractions...Nature's Neighborhood and the Splash Pad for the kiddos...The Natural History Museum (my favorite)....The Aquarium...The Aviary...the Giraffe feeding...and all the animals of course! I would love to give it 5 stars, but the prices are so high. Also, they no longer allow outside food or drinks. Real bummer.Still a season ticket makes it all worthwhile.

I am a little biased and a little spoiled because I’ve grown up going to the Columbus Zoo. This zoo is nice and small and does have some unique features and animals that Columbus doesn’t have.The price was absolutely ridiculous. $31for one ticket?? I don’t understand what for. They could’ve made their money in other ways if anything was open. The play areas, train, and zip line/climbing area were all closed. If those were open, it would’ve relieved some areas from being so congested and they could’ve made their money that way instead of charging so much at the entrance.I agree with the other reviews and have noticed for myself that the exhibits are ridiculously small for some of the animals. I would say the biggest ones are the elephant exhibit and the land with the zebras, giraffes, camels, okapis, etc.They have an amazing aviary with very unique birds and it is my favorite part of this zoo, the aquarium is bigger than ours and has a variety of creatures.Love that they had the baby elephant out. He was two months old and at Columbus, we would never be able to see the elephants that close to being born.Another problem I have is there is a lot of walking especially to get to the other side where most of the exhibits are. Also a lot of walking with not seeing anything in between all that walking or you have to walk back through what you just saw to get to something else instead of being able to circle around. It should be better mapped out.

What a fun day at the zoo. Weather was perfect. Hanging out with my sisters, exchange daughter from Denmark and my great nephew was great. The animals were active and fun to watch. The baby elephant was probably the most adorable animal at the zoo today.The Toledo Zoo never fails.

Really awesome zoo experience here. Everything seemed clean and spaces seemed well thought out and organized. You're able to get up close to most of the exhibits to get a better view. We enjoyed our time here. Plan on a 3-4 hour visit to walk the whole zoo, longer if you want to be more in depth. Would definitely come back another time!

We always love going to the Toledo Zoo for the lights, and this year was better than ever. After two decades of visiting every year, the Aviary was FINALLY open and we got to see some amazing specimens. Lots of other animals were out, too. Not to mention the lights, which were spectacular as always. The zoo employee screaming at us to get out of the orangutan exhibit did sour the experience a bit, I must say.

Love this zoo, I've been coming here since I was a kid- and it seems to just get better and better each year. We went on a Wednesday this year and it wasn't very crowded at all. The animals were more interactive than I've ever seen That's gotta be my favorite thing about this zoo, how well the animals are looked after. Their enclosures are large, they seem genuinely happy, which makes this place such a great experience. I've gone to other zoos in major cities and in comparison, they've seemed like backyard barn farms. Despite the stellar review, definitely be prepared for the price of food. It's outrageous, but what tourist attraction doesn't have outrageously priced food? It's a tradition. The souvenirs are also jacked up in price- but the stuff is pretty cute. I personally love my little octopus plushie I got from the aquarium gift shop. And as a native to the Toledo area, its very important they reopen the entrance on Broadway. If you serve the community in such a large way as letting the entire county free on Mondays, at least let the people who live in the neighborhood walk in. They have to put up with a lot due to the zoo- and it would be nice if the zoo extended that kindness. Other than that soapbox speech, the Toledo zoo really is a wonderful place that is near and dear to my heart.

It was an amazing day I must say. Relaxing, educational, inspiring. We had a wonderful tym seeing everything there & the guides that explain the exhibits r so very appreciated, helpful, kind. I luvd they were there to explain and make it more enjoyable to learn about each animal. I must say the tiniest seahorses I've ever seen there, were amazing too.. it's truly a wonderful zoo.. even in the rain.

Had a great day with my family, enjoying the sights and scenery. The zoo has done a lot of improvements since the last time I was there 10+ years ago. The exhibits were great. The food was good, definitely slightly pricey, but there were lots of options. Everything was really clean except for the baby changing station in one of the family restrooms. We bought a membership and I think it is totally worth it because you get free parking (which is normally $10) and also receive 10% off on all food purchases. We can't wait to go back soon!

Had a wonderful time at the zoo. Varieties of animals, nice exhibits, lot many ones for children to enjoy. Concession stands all available in the same area instead of scattered across the zoo. Pumpkin carvings, inflatables, play areas, it was all fun!

Was a great experience. One of my favorite zoos. And I go to 2 new zoos every year. Seen so many animals I haven't seen at other zoos. Nice to see pairs and no solo animals. Plenty of places for kids to play and have fun. Free water fountains, huge plus there. We pay enough to get in. Love seeing the original buildings in with the new. Will recommend.

This zoo was so fun, so much to see and the animals are so much more active than most zoos we’ve been to. The animals looked happy and well taken care of and that’s always nice to see! Definitely worth the drive and the kids loved it.

Excellent zoo! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. My kids were well entertained for hours which is not easy to do. Only complaint is that they don’t let you bring in food and the food in the zoo is overpriced. 🦍🦧🦒🦛🐘🦅🐅🐊🦓🦏🦥🦭🐆🦚🐻

Love the Toledo Zoo! Grounds are clean, lots of exhibits. Orangutans are always my favorite. Got to see the baby which was adorable. Mama was showing off her off to everyone. I bought a membership which = admission for me and one other and free parking. If you go to the zoo more than once per year, the membership is worth it.

Wayyyyyy better than Detroit Zoo. The aviary is filled with the most beautiful birds. The primates are always so fun to watch. I wish they would get the giraffe feeding open. We are still waiting to do this!

Very nice zoo. Came from Detroit to see animals we don’t have at the Detroit zoo. I personally didn’t get to see very many, as the group I was with was slow moving lol. This is obviously no fault of the zoo but I missed a lot and I will certainly have to come back. From what I did see, it appears to be a very nice zoo and the animals were pretty active. They do also have a small aquarium which is included with admission. You can easily get through the aquarium in half an hour, so don’t expect to spend a long time there. They do have a touch tank where you can touch rays and small sharks. The kids really enjoyed that.The zoo does have a train that doesn’t go very far, but it’s only $2.50 per person, they also have a merry go round for $2 each. They of course also have places to buy souvenirs and get your face painted.The coolest exhibit I saw there was the museum of natural history that had lots of detailed sculptures of animals that were once in America but are now extinct such as giant sloths, mastodons, etc. This building also had a touch tank where you can touch sturgeon.There are quite a few places to eat there, but a lot appeared to be closed. Be prepared to pay a premium for bottled water, you may want to consider bringing your own, as it was $4 per bottleOverall, we had a fun time and I definitely want to come back so I can see everything. I would definitely check this out if you’re in the area and if you’re in Detroit, I’d suggest visiting this zoo as a change from the one in Detroit if you’d like to see some different animals. Zoo is only about an hour away from Detroit.

Easily one of the best zoo experiences I've had:The layout takes a second to get used too with most of the zoo being on the opposite side of the road, they have a nice tunnel and bridge to get to the other side which makes it convenient. When I was here today there was a ramp under construction.A lot of the exhibits are clean and spacious. The animals today were very active and there are a ton of free up-close interactions you can partake in.The staff was friendly and knowledgeable as they wandered the park and interacted with everyone.I would absolutely recommend everyone take a chance here and explore, it's a great and exciting learning environment for everyone!

I've always liked that it's an easy zoo to navigate with plenty of great attractions. If you have small kiddos, this is the zoo for you. Easy to walk, good concessions, and the exhibits will keep the kids entertained and often amazed. Don't worry, as an adult you'll feel like akud again.

Good selection of animals to see and they keep improving and expanding habitats. Lots of interactive experiences for kids and people of all ages. Great aquarium, green houses and play areas. Their aviary and reptile house is also nice. They also have a great museum and an outdoor amphitheater. There is also a vegetable patch and pollinator garden. Some cramped quarters for some animals but I can see they’re working on improving the overall quality of life for the animals. Clean bathrooms and nursing areas.Overall good well rounded experience. Well worth the membership/ ticket fee. Highly recommend getting a membership especially if you have kids. Lots to explore even if you end up coming a few times a month like we do! They also have free days/ times. Friendly knowledgeable staff and volunteers

It's a good zoo. Some animals weren't out, unfortunately. Lots of walking, I believe most if not all of it is stroller/wheelchair accessible! The aquarium has touch tanks where you're able to touch some sea animals. There is a splash pad, it was closed for the season when we visited but hope to visit it when they open again when it warms up. Some animals are no longer there that were there years ago, understandable but sad 😢 . Buy a membership, it's worth it.

Too much fun! If you can, get an family pass you should definitely go for it. There’s too much going to see and one day is not enough time!🥰 we also got the experience package which pays for itself. We get to go on as many rides as we want on the safari train and carousel. And we can feed the giraffes with it too. Plus it gets you trick or treating for free and all the other seasonal activities as well.

The zoo is very large and there are many attractions and animals to see. The main food area has been closed both times we've visited, leaving less shaded picnic/rest areas. The giraffe experience, the polar bears and the splash pad were our favorite parts. The aquarium is large and has hands on areas as well. The website says no outside food or drink but bags were not checked at the door.

I absolutely love the flow of this zoo! The habitats are built so that you can see the animals from more than one vantage point. That way, you are pretty much guaranteed viewing. Loved it so much I purchased a membership!! Great zoo!!!!

I've been coming to this zoo for almost as long as I've lived in the US (23 years), and it never ceases to impress.As a professional nature and wildlife photographer, it offers a great place to practice my craft.

This was my first time to the Toledo Zoo. I was already in town to photograph the eclipse so I decided to take my camera and visit. It was amazing! From easy parking near the entrance to learning that Veterans are admitted free (just charged 11 dollars for parking) it was a great experience. Lots of different animals - easy to see and photograph. A wonderful day trip. So much fun.

Wonderful place to visit with the family. We visit frequently throughout the year during every season. Beautiful foliage in the spring and summer with wonderful fall and winter decorations as well. There are many fun things to do at the zoo from the carousel, train, ride, aquarium, and aviary. The Zoo is a must DO!

The best zoo I've visited yet. It would be worth going just for the Museum of Natural History. The animal exhibits are immaculate as are the grounds. There are playgrounds and a large splash zone for kids. This place is stunning. You won't be disappointed.

We love our Zoo!There are many animals to see/learn about.They offer several activities for children to do and even offer classes and camps for children and parents to attend. They put a lot of effort into the learning, games and crafts at their camps and classes.They have a small splash pad that my son loves, as well as many concessions to choose from.Animal demonstrations and opportunities to get up close and personal with animals like the sting ray touch tank. Feeding giraffes and others.

Most expensive zoo we've gone too. I think prices across the board were a bit higher than anything we've seen from other, better known zoos. Also had to pay for parking.But anyway, I'll always give zoos 5 stars if they treat the animals well. The habitats were well thought out and most were well sized. All animals had forms of enrichment and ways to stay active which was great. There is information and historical data all over the park so there is plenty to read, which I enjoyed.Besides pricing, my only complaint are the information TVs above most exhibits. It takes way too long for most of the information screens to cycle back around and I just couldn't keep waiting. They either need to add more TVs or simply go back to the informational signs like most zoos have.And clean the glass. It was hard to see into a lot of exhibits. But we went late in the year. Maybe that's a seasonal job??

The place was such a beautiful escape from the business of downtown. We got there super early, so our first walk around, they were still letting some animals out. After about 30minutes, though, everyone was ready to play.The staff were well informed and eager to teach and share experiences. I can’t wait to come back with my nephews. This was my “trial run” they’re going to love Kirk the new baby elephant 🐘

Wonderful, cool underground walkway and overhead bridges. While not every feature was open since it's not a weekend but there was still plenty to do. Food at the Bistro was lovely, pricing is what you would expect from a zoo, but worth it. A lot of cool stuff in the gift shop. The animals were so photogenic, and the gardens by the conservatory are so serene. Whether you're on your own, or with friends, it's a nice place to walk around and enjoy your day.

Excellent zoo. Better than my local overpriced "Buffalo Zoo". You get quite a bit for your money. The Zoo and Aquarium are included as well as their Museum. Spent about 6 hours seeing everything. Staff was very helpful and very informative. They answered all questions I had asked. Nice clean Zoo. Most of the animals seemed happy..... after all it was 90 degrees when I went. Highly recommended, worth the drive. A++++

This is a GREAT zoo with a pretty awesome aquarium added to your original entry price! Active military and our amazing Veterans have free entry. We went to see the new baby elephant and found additional babies were born there this spring. Really awesome!

I absolutely love the Toledo zoo.We specifically went to see "Kirk," the baby elephant. The zoo staff was very careful about managing viewing the mother and baby elephant for the care of the elephants. I'm glad. It was nice to see.I try to go on days that are normally less busy. This zoo does a really good job at keeping restrooms clean at zoo facilities. We had a zoo greeting from staff upon entering, and the young man asked if we would like a group picture. I said yes, please, and thank you.I handed my camera to him. Now, thankfully, I have a great family picture of a very pleasant and fun visit to the toledo zoo. 😀

A great zoo in northern Ohio for all to enjoy! Hippos, Giraffes, and even an aquarium make for a great time at this zoo! Easily spotted from the road, lots of parking, fairly priced entry ticket and vendors throughout the zoo. Most definitely worth stopping by and experiencing for yourself, or with family!

I love this zoo! Our family has a membership and we live in Ann Arbor. We try to go as much as we can but the membership is worth it. They have awesome animals and activities. Their aquarium is really cool. My fav is the red panda and baby Kirk the elephant! It’s not super huge so it’s easy to get around. They have great food choices. The parking is super close and you don’t have to walk far at all.

I love this zoo! So much to do and perfect for young kids! They had a weeknight promo for half off after 4pm, so stayed a few hours in the evening, but we could have easily spent all day! The little kids play area is so neat! There were tons to do for little ones who love to splash and play in the dirt (bring swimsuits and extra clothes/ towels!). The running stream was our kids' favorite, but there is something for everyone. I was happy to see the playground still around and the (newer) splash pad area! Petting zoo is so cute too! Great food options. I wish the carousel and train were included in admission-I don't know that we'd pay to do more than once- but they were pretty affordable.

I could spend hours marveling at the beauty of nature housed within the Toledo Zoo. It was truly a day filled with wonder and appreciation for our planet’s diverse inhabitants.Exploring the different exhibits was a journey through various ecosystems. The Arctic Encounter with polar bears gracefully gliding through the water was breathtaking, while the African Savanna transported me amidst giraffes, wild buffalos, zebras, and tiger with her cubs. One of the highlights was the Aviary, a paradise filled with colorful birds from around the world. Moreover, the zoo’s commitment to conservation and education shone through their informative sessions and conservation initiatives. It was heartwarming to witness their dedication to preserving endangered species and raising awareness about wildlife conservation. It was a great experience and still lots more to see & cover, probably when I visit again

Toledo ZooWent to this zoo in 2017. Not bad. When you live next to the Detroit Zoo. Most zoos look small. Good size. Many people. No issues. I do like the fact that you don't need to pay extra to visit the Aquarium.Highly Recommended

We love The Toledo Zoo! We typically visit on Mondays when it is free for Lucas County residents. The employees are great and pretty knowledgeable. The Zoo is well kept! The only complaint I have is that the Zoo is absolutely cashless. So I refuse to purchase anything while I am there. I only pay for parking.

Insane prices as most are! There's plenty of bathrooms, a splash pad, small playground like area for kids to play. The aquariums look amazing!!! Clean and a lot of staff on standby to speak about exhibits. We enjoyed our visit.

Had a blast! The animals were so active today! We took advantage of the Zoo membership as it was cheaper for us to buy a membership for our family of 6 vs paying for each ticket. The membership also allows us half off some other zoos in the area! The red panda was SO adorable!

Took my children here while visiting family. The Toledo Zoo is great. So many animals to see! The baby elephant is so cute!!

My wife and I are visiting from Cincinnati for the weekend. The first stop was the zoo, and we had a great time. The zoo is not really big but is spread out and the habitats are very nice! The Toledo Zoo is a MUST visit for sure!!!

Great place to go. I love this place because it has so many animals to look at including a bird house, reptile house, aquarium, and more. It is also great because during Christmas when they have the lights up it Is so amazing.

Toledo Zoo is easily a place where you could spend the whole day. There’s a huge variety of animals to visit, the enclosures are very well-maintained, the park is clean, has lots of information on every animal there. The staff there are very friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. Being able to see these beautiful animals up close and personal is an amazing experience. Recommend checking out the aviary where they have a section of that area, with free-roaming birds. Another place I’d recommend is the touch tank where you can touch sturgeon. And lastly the reptiles & museum! So many different species of snakes & a collection of pinned butterflies, moths, bees, beetles, and so on. I 100% would go again.

Truly a remarkable place to let the mind wonder and watch the kids be interested in learning and exploring. It was our first time going and the Toledo zoo did not disappoint at all. It was super friendly there and all the animals were up and out. It was a beautiful zoo and if you get the chance to go there I highly recommend you do so.

One of the best zoos I’ve been to! I really liked how the zoo is spilt up into 2 separate areas, because it seems to help things not be so crowded. My family and I had certain exhibits all to ourselves. Despite going on a VERY hot day (90 and up) a lot of the animals were active. We especially loved the aquarium. There were also plenty of staff/volunteers around the zoo offering facts and information. It’s a great place for kids.

Wow this place is amazing! We traveled from Columbus to check out the museum and we weren’t disappointed. We have a membership with Columbus Museum of Art and through the reciprocal agreement program this was all free for us. The museum itself is free but normally you would pay $10 for parking. But since we have the membership it was free. They had works of art from all eras and I was happy to see a Renoir as those are my favorites! We spent 3 hours and didn’t get to see everything before they closed. We will be back! They have a little coffee shop with food (we didn’t go in so I can’t review that piece). They have bathrooms up and downstairs. Plenty of parking and everything is accessible. Check this out, you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful museum. I've been to several museums and this is one to see. Several unique exhibits 💚💯💯

I am so grateful to have such an incredible art museum in our city. My son & I frequent this place. We always enjoy ourselves. If and when he does get antsy about not interacting with the art, we just head downstairs where he can touch EVERYTHING! My little dude has been Culturally educated and inspired with the opportunities we've had to visit this place from such an early age. Thanks Toledo!🖼🎨🌃🎵😎

This place is well worth your visit. We stopped in for my wife's birthday because she had wanted to visit. We started at the Glass museum and watched a 2-hour glass blowing demonstration which was very informative and entertaining. We then made our way over to the museum and spent about two and a half hours walking through the exhibits. They have some amazing art and history in the museum. Some of the modern stuff was not to my taste but just because it's not to my taste doesn't mean that it wasn't good art. I do believe that all people should enjoy art as it is part of our history in this museum definitely has that on display. I would recommend coming early and enjoying the exhibits at your own leisure.

The Toledo Museum of Art has so much to offer for engagement and wedding photo locations! I much prefer the outdoor locations so I do not impede on museum-goer experiences, but they are so good you won't even miss the indoor spots! There are marble columns for some classic and regal-looking photos and then there are pathways surrounded by unique art. My favorite spot is this cool metal building/wall. Rainy or bad weather? The Glass Pavilion is a very cool spot right across the street.

Great museum! The mummified cat was neat. They had some really nice pieces and everyone we spoke with that worked there was super nice. If you get to close to something it announces that you’re too close and to back up. Beautiful pieces in the gift shop as well.

I loved it here and want to go back soon. I went on a Friday when it was not crowded and found it very peaceful. Beautiful building and grounds and the museum features wonderful artwork. And admission is free! You pay for parking inside and it’s super easy.

For free ($10 parking in their lot), it's a nice museum. The room with their ancient collection is especially nice with a great Roman statue and some complete mosaics. The rest of the museum isn't bad but not especially outstanding. The glass pavilion has two Van Gogh's and one Monet.

Went to see the traveling Age of Armor exhibit that is currently on display. It was wonderfully laid out with an available audio tour. How ever long you think you'll be there, add time. There's much to see.

A beautiful museum filled with amazing treasures. Only 10.00 to park( which you pay for inside) and free admission. I was so happy to see so many people there today. Whether you casually browse or inspect everything it's a great place to go. So excited to go back sometime and try out the cafe.

One of the best art museums I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to over 30 museums, we didn’t even get to go to the blown glass Art building across the street, so we have to go back. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!!

One of the very best art museums in the state of Ohio!! Free to enter, just pay parking. Don't miss the wonderful outdoor sculptures too!! Also. Explore the museum of glass across the street. Free to see!!

Came on a field trip with The Detroit Fine Arts Breakfast Club. We saw an amazing exhibit of artworks by Jacob Lawrence. Very nicely curated. It's such an amazing museum and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. I am happy to have learned this gem that is just over an hour away from Detroit.

I was in town to visit the museum and I just expected more. The staff was nice and it was a nice day. I just expected a little more. If you are in the area check it out.

This museum was the most amazing hidden gem I have run across in my entire life! The personal collection of the Libbey family consisting of priceless artwork, sculptures and hand made glass. It astonds me that this was once a private collection! Free admission and free parking when I visited in 2021.

A famous spot at Toledo, where it accommodate varieties of arts and with detailed descriptions. The information is very educative and it’s good to have family trips here.

Great place to visit. Large collection within the museum. The learning center downstairs was the best part for little ones. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Recommend!

The Toledo Art Museum is a really spectacular museum for such a relatively small town. It puts many big city museums to shame (it’s nicer than the Dallas or Atlanta art museums). There is a nice medieval/antiquities collection, as well as a gorgeous large scale Rubens in the main gallery worthy of the Met or a major European museum. Other highlights are two Rembrants, a nice Hals family portrait, an El Greco, a Turner, a Monet, Renoir, two Van Goghs, and Thomas Cole’s “The Architect’s Dream.” There’s also a nice glass museum across the street where the Impressionist/Post-Impressionist art is currently being displayed. Entrance is free, and parking is cheap and plentiful. I’d highly recommend a visit.

The Caravaggio exhibit and the Marisol exhibit were both wonderful to see! The museum is always interesting to visit and the Glass Pavilion is very special. We had lunch at the museum, too with a nice glass of wine. They have vegan options so it's perfect for me

This beautiful complex is wonderfully curated which makes it easy and pleasant to experience the beauty presented. There is variety, history and culture.I discovered a Dutch painting of people enjoying themselves on the frozen canal. And there were men playing golf! Yes, in 17th C.! The golf clubs were similar to those used in the 1920s.There are many buildings on the acreage of the campus. One is the "glass" museum which also houses a glassblowing demonstration and the Impressionist hall.There is paid parking, but free entry. But be careful: if you switch parking lots to go to other buildings, it'll cost another $10. Better to walk across the street.The staff are pleasant and personable, and contributed to a marvelous experiences we had.

My son does classes here in the summer, and I enjoy going to the special exhibits. The Caravaggio exhibit was excellent, and in general the museum is great. There's more than you can possibly see in one visit, so I'm lucky to live in town.

Wow, they have Van Goghs, Renoir, Tiffany’s and Picasso in their collection. World Class.

An amazing museum with a rich collection of exhibits! Here you can spend the whole day and get great pleasure from the contemplation of works of art.

We took our grands to the museum for a little culture. The oldest captured images, fascinated by the visuals and absorbed by exploring new angles and different depths of field, with the passion of a young photographer. The youngest hopped up and down, squealing with delight and trying to touch everything - so excited by this new world of color and shapes. But the middle child surprised me because she heard music in every piece she saw and danced joyfully through the exhibits, blissfully immersed in the art she was feeling. Heavy sigh. Nothing is better than being a grandmother. ❤️🫠

The museum was great. Some modern, contemporary, and a good amount of the great fine arts. It would be nice if parking was free, but I'm sure it goes towards the Museum

The ceilings are high, the exhibit is large and spacious and beautifully set up. There are multiple items to review in one space. The art is interesting and there is so much to read. You can literally spend 5 hours at this museum just reading everything and learning. It's free with $10 parking. There are multiple places to sit in every room, the staff is friendly, and the environment is quiet and extremely well kept up. Love it here.

This is a great museum with impressive Egyptian collection amongst many others. Don't miss the glass gallery across the street housed in a sleek glass building designed by Pritzker recognized architects. Nothing against Toledo, but this is much more museum than you might expect in such a city.

First time visiting the museum. The staff was professional and friendly and the museum exhibits were awesome. Spent 3 hours and ran out of time. Looking forward to going back. The Caravaggio exhibit was special and I learned a lot about the artist, his life, and style. I have a new appreciation for art in the little time I spent there.

Wonderful curated sample of artwork and preserved spaces. It won't take you all day to view this collection. If you walk or take a bus it's free. You only pay for parking.

Absolutely wonderful stadium!! We came here for the first time this past weekend to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and it was absolutely wonderful! VERY clean, very good security, comfortable seating, very easy to find sections for seating too. Super friendly staff at all the food stands and nice fresh tasty food. By far one of the best stadiums I've been to! The concert was well put together and went wonderfully. The security check before entering was smooth and very fast and friendly. Even very easy to find parking areas all over by the stadium as well! All in all a really great experience. Highly recommend attending a concert or ball game here!

This is a beautiful park and a great baseball experience. The layout is great, beautiful Tigers at the home plate, and not a bad seat in the hose. We got to enjoy Beach night and Friday night fireworks which was a great 15 min show.+Visual effects of video board were amazing!-Audio in the stadium could be better. We could hear all of the mids/highs, but could not hear any of the bass. Need to get some better subs in the upper decks!

Great atmosphere at this park (was my. Buddies favourite of the 3 we visited this trip). Parking was cheap and easy... Leaving not so much. Food and vendor options were cool - and you could see Ford Field which was neat. Nice view from where we were sitting. Overall great time.

Comerica is certainly one of the most original ballparks, still has a newer feeling, but with lots of great food options and things to see and do. It’s certainly family friendly, as there are amusement park rides inside the park. Lots of upscale restaurants too. We sat in section 120 which avoided the sun for the entire duration of the game (note the sun doesn’t set until 9 pm during the summer). All and all, a different, but fun ballpark!

Very nice park, been to over half the current MLB parks and lord knows how many of the old parks. This is a nice park. Friendly staff, not a bad seat. I got a great seat for $28. Beer, hot dogs, and Major League Baseball...what else can you ask for in America?

I have no complaints. I do, however, have a confession 🤦‍♀️. I'm not a huge baseball fan. 😬 This was my first major league baseball game. We were invited by friends so we weren't going to turn the opportunity down. I felt like the stadium was very nice, clean and a lot of food and drink options. Obviously not without draining your pockets, but that is expected at any sports venue.

The stadium is great. I will say if you are going for handicap friendly seating, try to stick to the terrace level. They are about $56 a person but put you in better seats that are more accessible.

Comerica Park is so far the best baseball field I have been to. They have so many great food options including the classics like hot dogs and sausages, along with fair food like corn dogs and elephant ears, and others like tacos, nachos, pizza, ice cream, and more. There were a lot of people there but I never felt crowded. The seats have a lot of space around them. It was a very fun and comfortable experience. Got to stay for Friday night fireworks and there was such a fun and exciting vibe as they were getting ready for a decently long show!

Comerica Park is an exceptional baseball stadium that seamlessly combines modern amenities with a sense of tradition. The vibrant atmosphere, excellent seating options, and impeccable views of the game make it a premier destination for sports enthusiasts. The variety of food choices, including local favorites, adds to the overall experience. The park's design and cleanliness contribute to a welcoming environment for families and fans alike. Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan or simply seeking a fantastic outing, Comerica Park offers an unforgettable and enjoyable time at the ballpark.

Decent ballpark. The tiger and baseball statues outside of the stadium and the merry-go-round inside the food area are pretty cool features. It’s always fun to go there and catch a few games.

Went to the Detroit Tigers night game. The stadium is really beautiful. Lots of fun activities and history, displayed all over. Several restaurants and bars, carousel, tons of fun photo props provided. Cashless so make sure to bring credit or debit cards and ID. GO TIGERS!

You can’t beat this ballpark! There’s SO many food and beverage options, and the staff is helpful and friendly. I love the layout and it just makes sense. Sitting on the 300 still gives you a great view of what’s going on, and there’s plenty of F&B options way up there.I was impressed by the upgrades, including the Miller Lite party area and the variety of bars. And the prices are affordable, too, at least when it comes to F&B. The merchandise is still overpriced, IMO. The city connect activations were a nice touch, too!

We were in town for a concert at the Masonic Temple and my husband surprised us with Tigers tickets, what a nice surprise, we had a blast even though it was a chilly/damp/windy 39° and cloudy. The fans were dedicated and enthusiastic.

Not impressed with the Kiosk system. People INSIDE were Great- people At Ticket windows, rude as can be, AS IF they're Doing You a favor getting paid to sell or accept tickets. Poor setting for concert- concrete baseball bleachers. Prices are Disgusting- 8.95 for a Hot Dog on rollers. 8$ for a 16oz water. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING AREA. Not enough restrooms, vendors, nada. We went. We enjoyed the show- from damn near the furthest row away from the stage. No Regular beer, All Craft or Light. We agreed, we don't care to go back. It was an experience we'd never had, and, neither care to go a second time. Not even for a ball game.

It's a nice ballpark and although it seats over 41000 feels like a small ball park. The park is athletically pleasing and has great team details on the facade. It's a great ballpark to visit if you are a fan of the team or just enjoy baseball in general.

Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan offers an unforgettable experience for baseball fans. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was immersed in the excitement and energy of America's favorite pastime.The stadium itself is impressive, boasting modern amenities and a vibrant atmosphere. The seating was comfortable, providing excellent views of the field from every angle. The cleanliness and well-maintained facilities added to the overall positive experience.Comerica Park's location in downtown Detroit is convenient, surrounded by a lively atmosphere and ample parking options. Exploring the area before or after the game added to the overall enjoyment of the outing.

Absolutely amazing MLB venue, home of the Detroit Tigers. Went to the game on Miguel Cabrera Day...jersey give away, Tiger's hat/ sunglasses swag games give aways inside the park. Great fan experience for food, drinks, and rest areas. Plus Ga great selection of team products at the D Shop.

Fantastic views of the city can take your eyes off the game at times. One of the best baseball venues in the country.Even with multiple events close by and on a weekend night plenty of parking was available with a short walk.Detroit has never been better so take in a game and spend time in the city to eat snd shop.

Great ballpark. Really loved that I could walk around the ballpark on path between lower sections and watch game while I walked to concession areas. Not as many TVs around like other parks, but was definitely a great experience sitting behind visiting bullpen.

This was my first visit to Comerica park and it was a really nice stadium. I did not explore a lot of the concessions or anything, but from what I saw there were many food and drink options.The seating was nice as it wasn't as steep as some stadiums are in terms of the layout. Nice skyline views when looking to the outfield.

1st Opening Day attended, I've lived in Michigan my whole life, I know sad, but can finally check it off my Michigan bucket list.....great atmosphere.....everyone having a fun & great time.....awesome experience....GO TIGERS!!!!

Had a great time. Food is the best out of all the sports arenas around there. The Mexican place in the food court is amazing! You can't go wrong everything good. Great service. Remember you can't take a big bag or purse with you. If you do you have to leave in car or check it in. Service employees at the shops were all so nice. Great atmosphere would definitely go again. The musicians outside of park were phenomenal!

Great ballpark! All the seats are decent, even in the upper levels. Concessions prices are high, but where aren’t they high? Good choices for food, though, and they do carry Pepsi products if you’re wondering. Our seats were in 314 for these photos.

Easy access from the Tiger garage. Plenty of Good food & drinks.bartender friendly.Plenty of waitresses to accommodate the whole suite. It would have been alotMore fun if Tigers wouldOf played better & gotMore than one Hit in 9 innings. But it sure was nice with easy access back to the parking deck& Easy to be on your way home.

What a fun stadium to enjoy a game at. I've never attended a concert here, but baseball is a blast.Tons of entrances make it easy to get in. Lots of food and drink options, just be ready for stadium prices. Stores to get merch and a lot of tributes to see walking around.Tons of things for the kids and the whole family including photo opportunities and rides.

Although, I miss the Tigers Stadium of my youth in Cork Town - taking my family (happily Californian Ex-Pats) to their first Tigers Game at Commerica Park was Fantastic!What a beautiful ballpark with great views and amenities suitable for all.A great family day to remember!Go Detroit!

This place is definitely an experience. It has everything from food courts, a carousel, picture opportunities and drinks. The stadium is huge! Things are nicely labeled though. Make sure you're bag isn't too big. They don't let you bring bags larger than 12".

This park is great. Take the extra 90 mins to your around. The bar on the upper deck has $5 beers for the first hour on weekdays. So many food options. I'd you can get them highly recommend the Tigers den seats! Jim is an unreal guest host! Thank you.

Plenty of room in seating areas, you don't feel crammed in like most Ballparks or Arenas. Decor is too overdone. Too many Tiger statues on the Facade and Merry Go Rounds on the inside make it feel like a Circus atmosphere. I did enjoy that you can walk around the entire ballpark and keep an eye on the game from the corridor. Statues and famous player numbers in Left Field bleacher is a neat idea.

Had a great family night out! The Tigers didn't win, but it was a fun game anyway! Even if you aren't that into baseball, it is a great place to go for the food, activities for the children and great atmosphere! They do have a purse/backpack and diaper bag rule now, so be aware of that. You can't bring in purses or bags over a certain size, but they do offer complimentary bag check! I gave them my bag, and they took my name and phone number and gave me a ticket to bring back to retrieve my bag after the game. You can go pick it up at any time, of course, and you have up to 30 minutes to go get it once the game is over. It was a very efficient and smooth process! In all, it was a great evening and game. The food is always great and there is always something for everyone, just make sure you bring enough money. It's by no means super expensive, but not super cheap either. You do get what you pay for by way of quantity and quality, so that is a plus! In all, I can't wait to go back!

Amos, my man! Is the best server at any stadium, anywhere, ever. The stadium is nice, great views, fans were nice for both teams. As a Green Bay Packer fan, I've seen some rowdiness over the years, but the past two years have been a pleasurable experience both at Ford Field and here at Comerica. Prices weren't as bad as other ballparks around the league. I might just go up for a game when my team isn't in town.

I really loved this ballpark. The skyline in the background was stunning. I was able to get box seats for really cheap (the tigers were terrible and the white Sox were even worse). The boxes were very nice and the AC was a godsend. One of my favorite ballparks.

My wife and I LOVE to go see the Tigers play baseball. I started watching them at the old Tiger Stadium on Michigan and Trumbull. Today they play at Comerica Park. This a premium venue with anything you could ever want. Just be prepared to pay for it. We usually park in the Ford Field ramp because access to I75 is easy. Be ready to have a great time. The new scoreboard is huge.

This used to be my favorite place to go. But this time before it's great, it's actually uncool. We booked our tickets online, we got in, - but were not able to go to our seats. Understandable, - it was raining and the game was delayed. Everyone needed to be undercover (because of lightning and heavy rain).Once you're inside the venue you can't re-enter. Very much of a downside if you have kids. Often you forget something in the car (girlfriends or kids phone), or you need to medicate.Also smokers have to survive without smoking for several hours. (The smoking section has been permanently closed ) They will not accommodate the customer, won't create a smoking section or even let people re-enter after they like to smoke outside.We spent for 2 of us close to 1k for for just this day, including tickets, parking, food, drinks and updated fan attire - we like to support,The drinks are expensive....... You can buy for sure a 12pack for the price of one beer here, - a water bottle is half the price, impressively similar is a cocktail .....After all, we'll not be back unless we get invited - but even then I'll warn my friends about the smoking

Went to see the Cardinals play in Detroit at Comerica Park, located in downtown Detroit. Solid park. I love a ballpark downtown. It’s a modern stadium with two iconic features… the tiger statues and the outfield fountain.Loved all the marketing using the D. I sat in the lower bowl with club access. The club was fantastic and offered elevated food for a ballpark like salads and wrap. Oh and probably my favorite thing was the Baseball Ferris Wheel.Glad I went. Cards lost. :o(

A bucket list item is to get to every baseball stadium. Finally got this one marked off. It was a neat park. Definitely not in my top favorite though. I thought the Ferris wheel was super cool. The food was definitely lacking.

This is a very cool sports venue. Being smack dab in the middle of Detroit makes this such an energetic areas. The park itself is filled to the brim with things do, places to eat, and shop. It’s also surprisingly clean. Lastly so many other fun events and places nearby.

I visited Comerica Park for the first time, and it was so much fun! We parked in the underground garage across the street, which was very accessible with an elevator to street level. There was a lot of walking, but the stadium had ramps to the second level. There was so much to do, in addition to the game. The Rally Cats were so much fun to watch and got the crowd hyped up. There were steps up to the food court, but I didn't look for a ramp. I'd suggest the nachos or shwarma rather than the hot dogs, but the food court was clean and not too crowded.

Attended Night Nation Run at Comerica Park. One word PHENOMENAL. The event and the park. The park is clean with lots of food choices and drink options. A bonus is great views of the city and clean bathrooms. Great Job Detroit!

Just a really beautiful ball park. It's always clean when we go and it's nice that you can still see the field from the concession areas for those super hot days!

Went to Tigers game. It was so much fun. Downtown Detroit is beautiful at night. Friday nights, they have a fireworks display. Beautiful show, some fireworks I'd never seen before.

Comerica Park was a pretty nice ball park. Originally from St. Louis and Busch Stadium is nowhere near as nice as this. So much room to walk around a lot of food choices. There could be a few more bathrooms but all in all a really great place to visit.

I've been to every MLB park to watch a game. I wouldn't say Comerica is the worst one but it definitely is just OK. Too many amusement park rides. This is baseball, not an amusement park. I'd like to see the money go towards something baseball related i.e. Displaying around the league scores SOMEWHERE in the park. The ushers this year are much improved. They used to be almost the rudest in the bigs but something happened over the off season. They're actually decent now. Good job. The ball park is clean, the food is good and they have a nice beer selection. Some of the BEST soft pretzles in the bigs. Also, do more on the field activities beteeen innings. Races, games etc. That's a fan favorite all over the country. And for God's sake, if you're only drawing less than 10k fans...let people sit in the good seats for the last inning or 2. My lord!

Lines to get in were long, with limited metal detectors. I do appreciate they had a few at least. The food options were minimal and everything we had was awful. Nice jersey giveaway upon entrance. Tigers lost. Fans were cool. Stadium seems small compared to some others.

My daughter and I went to the Tigers vs. St. Louis Cardinals games on May 1, 2024. We had a great time. It was her first professional baseball game.We walked around and saw the carousel and different statues that were there.If you buy food and drink, be prepared to spend about $100 on 2 people... plus souvenirs. I forgot my hat and had to buy a new one while I was inside. The hat was about $30. The cheapest food item I saw was $6. And that was for a bottle of water.Overall, we had an amazing time watching them play!!!

What a great stadium! My family and I were up from Indiana and attended our first Tigers game. Let's see where do I begin. This stadium does have a bag/purse policy. So if you plan on attending a ball game, make sure your purse is a wristlet 4 x 6. We had no issues bringing my granddaughter stroller in. It was actually a breeze going through security. The decor of Tigers 🐅 displayed in and around the ballpark was great. This ballpark is very kid friendly. My granddaughter enjoyed riding on the carousel. The 💺 were comfortable compared to some other stadiums.

This place is beautiful! The staff is so wonderful and friendly and helpful. You can buy tickets once you get there but if you buy them in advance, it goes faster. Elevators and stairs, bathrooms on every floor. 3 floors total. Price of tickets aren't bad either. Went to the Van Gogh exhibit, but will definitely be back to see the rest.

Good museum with a variety of collections. A variety of collections from across the world. Some areas are better represented than others in terms of history of the art from the region.Some interactive bits across the galleries for young patrons. A few more interactive moments would be nice, and would provide more talking points for groups who visit the galleries.Asia, Africa, and Hellenistic collections are good introductions to the arts. The gallery on Egypt showcases select pieces, and makes for a great introduction to the culture. Native American section represents art pieces from the south, central and north America. Residents of Wayne county have free entry on select days at the museum.

There are so many exhibits to check out. It's nice to wander in and out of rooms filled with ancient to modern items. It's a really nice collection. Make sure you have about 4 hours to see everything and grab a bite in the cafe. Lots of decent options to chose from. Parking across the street is convenient and only $7.

This place is amazing! You could spend an entire day here or 5. So much to see and learn, so much diversity, I love it. I only wish they had some Rembrandt’s on display. Other than that, beautiful building and such an amazing collection of art. An FYI: don’t bring any food, drinks or even a bottle. If you do, they’ll let you empty your bottle outside and keep the bottle in the lockers in the front before you enter. Lockers are free and accessed by pin, so no key to track.

There is just so much to see. I could spend days just staring at the artwork. Mind you I am partial to art. We went and they had a car exhibit and they were so unique. Also seeing a real life van Gogh painting was really cool. I'd definitely go again. They also had art from Mexico, middle east, native Americans, Japan and Korea. I love international art so it was fun to look at everything. Also seeing a real life mummy was really cool but creepy to think there's a skeleton in there.

very cool place and nice to visit, there are so many different sections you can look at with very cool artifacts and such. we were able to get in for free. there are gift shops and places in there you can get food at. i honestly have no complaints, the place is very cool to go to, the building itself is very cool and with the addition of all the old things it makes the place amazing to visit.

Excellent customer service from Cameron at the entrance, which was the start of an amazing experience of artwork displayed from many eras and with famous artists and different cultures. We were there for a couple of hours and did not complete a fulltour. Looking forward to coming back. The museum’s store was full of many wonderful collections of jewelry, clothing, tableware, books and more. I thoroughly enjoyed the time there. Also the food was amazing from the courtyard.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit! They have so many things to look at you can really be here for hours, Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb have free entry which is a plus. Each exhibit area is adjusted to what you are looking at which is really cool and the place is very easy to navigate. Would definitely come back again!

Large museum with lots to see. The exhibits don’t flow very well, so take a map to be able to follow your path if you want to make sure you see everything. Very cool cafe inside, museum architecture itself is interesting. Weekend day was not too crowded in the afternoon which was nice. $14 for adult, $8 if you’re a student, reasonable prices.

Incredible museum! This place is huge. We came right at 9am and it was great, quiet and not a lot of people until later on. It’s beautiful here and so much to see. We spent about 3 hours and still wasn’t enough to get through the whole place. The little cafe is beautiful, great spot to grab a coffee and snack while taking a break. The history here is amazing, everything is placed beautifully and tons of information. Have to come back for a full day to really take our time and enjoy!

Fantastic art museum with friendly staff members! Upon entering, I was met by an enthusiastic staff member who explained the layout of the museum to me, and then struck by the majestic Great Hall. But the highlight lied beyond the great hall - seeing Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals in person was such an awe-inspiring experience! There were staff members stationed in the area, one of whom had a great chat with me surrounding my questions about the murals.The Rivera murals was not the only reason that made the visit worthwhile - I found that the museum has quite a comprehensive art collection, not just of Western art movements from medieval to modern times, but also of non-Western art. The African and Islamic galleries were pretty good-sized, although the Egyptian gallery was a bit disappointing. It would have also been nice if the museum put more thought into the re-creations of the cultures' architecture; the current re-creations seemed half-baked with artifacts combined with modern materials.Depite that, the interior architecture of the museum was quite varied and worth seeing for an architecture enthusiast. I liked the modern designs of the stairs and Prentis Court as well as the historic-comtemporary charms of Kresge Court (which very well reflects the identity of the city!).In all, I only had 2.5 hours to spend at the museum and that was only enough for an in-depth visit to about half of the galleries. A jewel and a must-visit in the city!

One of the absolute most unique and interesting collections I have ever seen. Not many public art facilities match up to DIA. It can get crowded but the staff is willing to lend knowledge even if you aren't on your. The lady that explained the Diego Rivera mural was the highlight of the day.

I am a huge museum visitor, and this collection is by far one of the best I’ve seen in the US. Not only that, but the courtyards are stunning. I only spent about five hours here and saw maybe 1/3? I recommend visiting it over two days. Enjoy lunch or drinks in the cafe- the flatbread and summer drinks were amazing.All in all, this is one of my top places to visit recently. I highly recommend.

The museum has an amazing and diverse collection. My particular favorites were the Native American, Impressionists, and Modern exhibits. And the gift shop is a collection all by itself! Amazing! I even enjoyed the curry chicken salad at their Cafe.I didn't see everything, and I'll definitely return!

One of the highlights for sure is to see the Diego Rivera mural. This mural is enormous in size and absolutely mesmerizing. This will be my second visit here and I really enjoyed both of my visits. During this last visit I had the opportunity to see a wonderful photography exhibit by James Barnor, this series followed his work from his early days of filming in black and white to his later years of using color. I enjoyed the photos so much I bought his book. I love this museum and will continue to visit it each time I pass through Michigan. Detroit is a fabulous city with much more to offer than expected and this museum is the same. Parking is easy, staff are friendly and helpful, there is a cafeteria and a indoor cafe that feels like you are in an outdoor courtyard. There is a great gift shop, beautiful building, clean bathrooms and many exhibits of all types. Whatever type of art you are interested in they have something that will satisfy! Support the arts and this community and pay a visit here and just down the street check out the modern art museum as well.

A tremendous collection of art pieces from all over the world, covering centuries of different cultures. Very impressive and certainly a “good deal” for the cost of entry.I would knock off 0.5 stars if it were possible, simply because the layout of the rooms becomes very confusing and you may end up missing some exhibits because you almost get lost on the floors.Wish the flow was just a bit better organized…

Wonderful museum. We only had enough time for the majority of the 2nd floor. Beautiful building with amazing exhibits. It was great to finally see a Diego Rivera mural in person. I had read so much about the ones on display here.

such a great place! The tour guides are phenomenal. The art is beautiful, the facility is beautiful, and there is so much enriching education to be had, including history! I enjoyed reading about the history here. The displays are well thought out, and there are even ways for the kids to get involved, including a "seek and find" in certain rooms.I took a public tour and it was really engaging and a wonderful way to learn about the museum, the artists, the art, and the story behind it all.I was happily surprised to find out that they have many other programs throughout the week! I am so excited to come back.

An impressive place. I heard a rumor, years ago, that the city was thinking of selling off the art in an attempt to raise cash to avoid bankruptcy. I'm very glad that didn't happen.This is a really nice museum! Three floors with exhibits from Native Americans, S. Korea, Africa, South & S.E. Asia, Egypt plus the more expected European (Italian, British & Dutch when I was there (3/21)) works. Marble busts, huge canvases, metalwork, ceramics, masks, beadwork and more.And if you live in the three counties (Macomb, Wayne & Oakland) you get in for free. The parking is $7 across the street.We (my teenage son & I) meandered thru in just over two hours, saw all three floors, but didn't linger anywhere. Kind of a "drive by" viewing experience.Guided tours and school groups were also there on the 1st day of spring.

Great place! We drove to Detroit to see The Regeneration of Black Cinema exhibit..We also saw the masterful work of Tiff Massey. As well as other beautiful art from around the world. DIA is a beautiful place. They were setting up for a wedding and what a beautiful place for a wedding. The architecture is gorgeous. This was my 1st time visiting and I look forward to going back

Informative museum. We spent over 3 hours on the weekend. A very nice cafe tucked inside with overpriced croissants😅Overall a pretty way to spend a weekend (hit the wide selection of restaurants for dinner later)

Free! Need to show id for tickets. They have free coat and bag check at front. So many cool exhibits. The craft room was cool and kept kids occupied for a while. Cafe is nice but closes at 3 I think so keep that in mind.

As a Detroiter, I'm so proud we have this! From the beautiful marble facade outside to the (actually) priceless treasures inside, this place is amazing! Safe and clean with friendly competent staff enhance the experience. It wasn't lost on me that a lot (if not most) of the artifacts we're taken in violence, maybe multiple times through history. So take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices these cultures had to make and be thankful they have been preserved for future generations.P.S. The edged weapons and armor is my favorite! I wish there was more of the battle worn stuff. Looking at ancient contact marks of war, is fascinating.

We visited for the Regeneration exhibition, and when I saw the Academy of Motion pictures who put it together, I knew it would be awesome. The artifacts were fascinating, a lot of history. The DIA is a must visit for anyone local or visitor. All around a wonderful museum.

This is truly a world-class museum. In my particular area of interest, Medieval through Baroque art, the collection is equal to the best. The Dutch and American paintings have few peers. This is an encyclopedic collection, and there are excellent Native American and Asian sections, although the Egyptian and Classical collections are not a strong point. I spent three blissful days here and didn't see everything; I'll definitely be back!

The DIA is one of the true treasures of Detroit.I have been dozens of times and will continue to go every so often. The art is amazing but the architecture of the building itself is breathtaking.Entry is free for Wayne and Oakland county residents, not sure about others.It's always worth a visit, HIGHLY recommended.

I spent a great deal of my childhood at this museum and was very excited to bring my family. The Diego Rivera is a must but there are a great many musts, and it is very kid-friendly. They had a cozy coffee cafe in the courtyard and a lunchroom. It is still an amazing collection, impossible to see everything in a single visit, and I am looking forward to returning on our next visit to Michigan.Our visit was on the weekday. We found street parking that was good for 2 hours only. Download the app; you can renew only exactly when the 2 hours is up. Backpacks are not allowed. The front desk directed us to the FREE and secure lockers.The only downside was we had 3 interactions with security; two for being warned that we were too close to an exhibit (?) and the 3rd for leaving out of an exit door behind other patrons only to be told it wasn't an exit. A sign off to the side said "Emergency Exit". Very poorly placed. Oddly enough, I've heard this same complaint from other patrons both friends/family and on Internet reviews.

What a great museum and the collection is more than great. I so didn’t expect it. First floor with African, Asian etc art with great narrative and stories. Very engaging to read. Also, I loved landscapes by American artists, 2h at the museum was not enough. Will come back! Not to mention an astonishing mural by Diego Rivera. Also, thanks to very polite staff of the museum - made me feel very welcomed.

This place is awesome!! I got a free ticket because I live in Oakland county and they also offer student discounts! There’s lots to see, more than the average day, and the Tiff Massey exhibit rocked! I’ll definitely be back to check out the rest of the permanent collections another time.

Haven't been in years and while visiting Detroit decided to take my daughter for the first time, was not a disappointment. Very well run very well-managed, really really enjoyed some of the surprises of the famous painting and works of art. Definitely will be back... Oh and the Cafe in the middle of the location has improved drastically and the food was fan-freaking-tastic. To be honest I would probably go back again just for lunch even if I didn't want to get through the museum!!!

VOTED #1 ART MUSEUM IN AMERICA this year!!Thinking about coming to the DIA? Perfect place to spend the entire day! So much to see, rich history, great tours and you’ll always see something new/different every visit.

An excellent museum for various arts and sculptures. They have arts and sculptures from all over the world spread over 3 levels. Must spend at least 3 hours to cover the entire museum. Also free for residents of some counties. Check website for details.

"Diving into a world of art and culture at the Detroit Institute of Arts 🎨✨ One of the most significant collections in the U.S., spanning ancient wonders to contemporary pieces. Discover the treasures within these historic walls! #ArtAtDIA #CulturalGem.

This is a magnificent museum. I love how they showcase lots of black painters & sculptors. Loved the Tiff Massey exhibit because I never heard of her before. The Egyptian floor is also one of my favorites.

Phenomenal. All the biggest names you may have heard are represented. Van Gough, Picasso, Monett, Matisse, Robin. Contemporary art. Indian art, African American, the whole floor dedicated to fancy living. Changing exhibits, something for everyone. Cafeteria on the first floor is clean, and the food is good. The price for tickets is very reasonable, I spent more money on food in the cafeteria, then on my admission.

A hidden gem in Detroit. It is a wonderful museum that is well worth a visit! The building itself is beautiful, and it has some truly special and iconic art pieces by artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh.

A beautiful building to explore and discover different cultures, artists from around the world. Easy parking. Don’t bring a back pack even clear. But they have free lockers.

I love how this city has a lot of culture and art. We were visiting and decided to go inside the museum , amazing art pieces and painting. We ate at the cafeteria inside the museum located in the patio and had the greatest time, food delicious as usual in Detroit.

Incredible mix of new and old. Pictures attached are of Tiff Massey’s new exhibition and the extensive Van Gogh collection the DIA has - they put out some of the favorites. The Detroit Industry Murals, Fresco by Diego Rivera are not to be missed! Pictures don’t do them justice come see for yourself!

If you like pioneer villages, well let me tell you, this is the Disney World of pioneer villages! It's so big, we couldn't do it all, will have to return someday. We rode the model t and carousel and train and they were so fun. Almost all the houses were staffed with knowledgeable people to explain stuff and answer questions. We had a frozen custard and it was scrumptious. Loved the crafting demonstrations. All the employees are dressed in period clothing and are so nice. Just a fantastic place. Hope to return someday.

This was a nice piece of the Henry Ford Museum/Theme Park, it is a great place to bring your kids and enjoy a day outside. Teach your kids some great American history, eat ice cream and take them for a ride in a model T. Everyone was so nice and seems like a lot of the staff have a piece of history tied to this place. I would definitely recommend a visit here while in Detroit.

Went to Greenfield Village on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and it was amazing! We enjoyed walking around the grounds and going back in time. There are many fascinating buildings that have been completely reconstructed as they were at important turning points in history. For example, we enjoyed seeing the Wright Brothers bicycle shop, Edison's Menlo Park Complex and Henry Ford's home and first factory. Harvey Firestone's farm and the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law were other notable buildings. Greenfield Village is unique in the world and it's awesome! I highly recommend a visit. Many thanks to the great people working there. We'll be back soon!

Really nice place to spend a day walking around during nice weather. Lots of historical buildings that are reassembled onsite brick by brick. This includes Henry Ford's childhood house, the Wright brothers' workshop, Edgar Alan Poe's house and much more. Also got to ride around in an original working well-maintained Model-T cars with a chauffeur driving around the park, which is almost 100 years old.Really cool place to check out! The only problem may be finding parking. I'd plan on coming earlier during the day to make sure you get a spot closer to the entrance.

We have visited the village twice now and it is still amazing. Where else can you go and see the home where the Webster American Dictionary was finished, the bike shop where the first airplane was designed and built, and the laboratory where the light bulb was perfected. So much history and American culture in one unique village. Loved it. You can see a full review and video on our blog site. Search for Our Haunted Travels.

We splurged this year for the Christmas meal at the Eagle Tavern. I highly recommend it. It was a delicious seasonal meal with great entertainment. I'm so glad that we purchased our tickets in October. Holiday Noah's was even better than ever. We were able to to enjoy the Village all night due to the mild weather. Of course a trip is not complete without roasted chestnuts and a cup of cocoa.

Attended the Christmas event they offered. We stopped by the Mini Donut Truck inside the park. After consuming the mini donuts, I got the worst food poisoning I’ve probably had in my life. I’m assuming the donuts might have been undercooked, as they had a huge line and most likely wanted to get orders out quick. The village had a few Christmas attractions, but it felt like it wasn’t as eventful as the Halloween one per se. Overall, I would give them another chance to see the village but maybe avoid the mini donuts this time.

Historic Americana everywhere at Greenfield Village. Historical working farm, shops, steam train, and Model T cars. Historically significant buildings and artifacts to see and explore. Very knowledgeable people working each building and sharing historical information with guests. Plan for a full day. Bring your wallet. Highly recommended.

It was fun. I think it's a bit pricey and there wasn't much reenactment. It was good information and a good history lesson. Kids enjoyed it while being good exercise. Glass blowing was awesome.

Absolutely loved it. Total package is a little pricey and food price is pretty ridiculous but we loved it. So much history in one place. Ford purchased and relocated historic homes to those 80 acre lot. Beautiful location with Model T for hire that will give you rides around the town as well as a carousel and a steam train.

Love learning about history and it is an awesome place to learn and see what life was like back then. Henry Ford didn't want us to forget our history. My boys loved it too will definitely go back.

This place is a definite must see! I can not recommend it enough for all those history buffs out there. Most of the buildings are staffed with actors who are very knowledgeable about the history of the village and are eager to share their knowledge with you. Don’t forget to buy tickets for rides on a model t, the train, and the carrousel. Be prepared for a lot of walking. Bring strollers and wagons for the littles.

I chaperone field trips whenever possible, and I'm glad I did this one! It was my first time here, and it is beautiful. Of course, the prices are ridiculous for most things, but it is defined an experience to take in. Not so much for kids less than 10, but it was interesting to see all the preserved items from the 1800's for me.

What's not to love here!?! This is my most favorite place in the whole world! My most recent visit was for Motor Muster, and it was one of the best days of my life! The Mac n Cheese from Taste of History is just the best Mac n Cheese on the planet! I'm a huge train person, so seeing the train was the coolest thing ever! We did do an emergency stop in the back because the trains breaks malfunctioned, but it was still really fun!! I love all the history there and I even went home with a souvenir, a print from the print shop!!! Can't wait to go again!! If you haven't gone yet, you're missing out!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat!!

We went for the Halloween Event and had a great time, despite a bit of "witchy weather". The kids in the family had a total blast, and the staff were fantastic. Helpful, great with kids, patient, kind. All around super enjoyable.

A really great museum in the form of an old world village. There is glass blowing, print pressing, blacksmithing, pottery and so many more shops and things to see.Highly recommended.

It’s a pure delight that we have this place in our backyards! It’s truly amazing how many significantly historical artifacts are centralized in one place. In many ways you can relive history as you walk through the Wright Brother’s shop or Thomas Edison’s workshop and more. Beyond these you can experience what life was like in days past. Many of the reinactors truly add to the experience. I recommend eating at one of the restaurants as they offer many historical dishes. I’d better stop here because I can go on and on. Check it out if you want to experience history. I’ve renewed my my membership for at least 6 years now. Our 8 yo still loves this place.

Excellent place to visit if you are into early American history and innovation. The exhibits and homes are well maintained. The Einstein Menlo Park factories are very interesting, and the tour guides are extremely knowledgeable.

Greenfield Village was an amazing experience we went to Greenfield Village but also to the Henry Ford Museum I took my daughter with me who's very much into learning about history and we enjoyed ourselves. All of the exhibits in the museum where really interesting and just seeing the evolution of cars and even the art pieces it was just really a great experience. Even the area that was dealing with black history was super informative I had never seen the actual bus that Rosa Parks was arrested from (and they had that actual bus) great experience for my kids. The Greenfield Village area with people dressed in the clothes that they wore back in during those times was really cool to see the cars that they drove in we rode on the train that was powered by coal... that was a really cool experience. Seeing how certain things were made like the Pottery area or area where they made the pottery and the guide told us about how it was made and what they used to actually decorate the pottery after it's been fired and glazed. Really cool and really good information. We got to see them actually blow glass they showed the actual method in which they used to create glass sculptures and things like that. It was really hot but it was really cool to watch... great experience overall! Definitely want to come back and take nieces and nephews and my other kids with me the next time that I go.

I absolutely love visiting Greenfield village! This time when we went it was Thomas day (we didn't know before hand), we had a great time! My favorite part is the glass blowing! It's so fascinating! There were so many places to stop and so many things to do! I will be back, have always had a great experience here!

Went to Greenfield Village with my cousin this week! We had a great time (in-spite of undisciplined children and parents blind to their action).The village is an amazing place if you enjoy living history like we do. Working farm house visits, where the staff eat homegrown lunch and share their meal experiences as you tour the homes.We ate at an 1800’s sit-in period restaurant featuring food harvested at the village and prepared as it would have been back then. It was amazingly good.We walked the grounds and had a wonderful time. I love it when my cousin is with me. She gets me out and laughing

Super cool place with lots to see and do. They're going for a period correct feel and they did a pretty good job.My only regret is only scheduling one day on our RV trip to visit Greenfield and the Henry Ford Museum. We could have easily spent a day (or more) on each one and not been bored for a second.

Greenfield Village holds many cherished memories from my childhood. After living out of state for 30 years, I recently moved back to the area. Visiting The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village was one of the first places I visited upon my return.It's such a beautiful and special place. If you are planning a visit, plan on a full day at the village and several hours for the museum. The add-on option for all of the rides is totally worth it.I recently purchased the annual membership because I already know I'm going to visit often, even if it's for just a stroll around the village.I've included just a few pics, but there is much to see and do!

The coolest museum I’ve ever been to. I love the living history and the array of buildings they have to offer. I wish more artists were at work in the crafts district. But for $40 per person I wish it didn’t cost extra to ride the train. Worth the price? Yes. But wow it’s expensive. Make sure you schedule a full day for this park!Also it’s hard to find the ticket booth. When you enter the park, go to the building on the left. They should have a sign

I absolutely love this place. I grew up in Roseville area and now live out of state. This is a must visit when I come home. This time I was able to watch my cousin play baseball as if they were in the 1800s. My favorite time to go is Christmas.

Very nice museum and a lot to see. Easy to spend a full day and simply get lost in history.I had a great day and look forward to come again.

We gad the all acess tour with factory, museum and village for 191 Dollar for two people. But "all acess" does not mean, that the rides in the village are included. I understand, that the borrowing of the Ford T in the village costs extra. But not including the train ride for nearly 200 Bucks seems a little greedy to me. The village itself is rather a Potemkin's thing. Some buildings are furnished, others are empty or closed.

My family really enjoys the Village! There's tons to see, do, eat, learn, and buy. I like taking my young kids here to run around. It's super spacious, so even when there's a lot of people there, it doesn't feel crowded. There's a billion places to park. Plan on doing a LOT of walking. Lots of food options (and you can bring your own in.) The Village hosts a variety of events throughout the summer that are really fun, too. There's always something to do there.

Greenfield Village is an amazing place. There's something here for people of all ages. An outdoor collection of historical buildings, homes, craft shops, and artifacts from all over the US (and in some cases Europe) set up into Districts. Character actors and docents are located throughout the Village to give demonstrations and answer questions. The only con was that the cost of an adult ticket ($39) and parking ($9) was a bit on the high side. Also, the property is huge, so expect to do a lot of walking.

This is a delightful place to spend 3-4 hours. It is almost like going around to lots of different places instead of seeing just one. There is a very nice playground for young kids who need to take a break. Most of the people who shared information in each place were very good at reading whether you wanted to hear more or were ready to keep moving. This is truly a Michigan treasure.The price is a little steep. On the other hand, compared to something like Disney, you'll learn more, not deal with crowds or lines, food is reasonable or you can go back to your car, and the price of a single Disney ticket will probably pay for your whole family here.

Can't recommend this place enough. World class museum. Outdoor activities at Greenfield Village are educational and enjoyable. It's great to visit during an off time because it's not as busy, but, Saturdays in the summer have much more interaction at the park - historical baseball games, farmers working, musicians playing, etc. I'd recommend checking the calendar of events for more! Kids play area is great.

Interesting open-air history museum founded by Henry Ford with houses of famous Americans that were moved to this location. OK, that feels a little off that you take someones history and make it your own. However I really enjoyed this museum and it was really well preserved and museums inside the museums. It is really difficult to have a museum (open-air) with many houses that were actually build there.

Such a wonderful experience! My kids loved learning all of the history, and seeing what life was like 'back in olden times'. Their favorite part was riding in the Model T cars around the village!

Good time for all, depending on when you been last. Pictures will give you some insight on what to expect if you have never visited Greenfield Village. Was dark and rainy when we went unfortunately but tried to get some outside pics also.

Absolutely incredible and exquisite exhibits. Everything is laid out so well you can easily travel from one section to the next, with a smooth transition in-between.The cases are spaciously laid out as to not be overwhelming. This creates a good flowing atmosphere that keeps you moving and staring at the next item.There's a nice cafeteria that you can eat at, but hold on to your tickets. You'll need them to get back into the museum.The attendants are wonderful. The place is neat, tidy, and just fun. Definitely take your kids here, your wife, everyone will have something to look at here!

My family loved this walk through history. So much more than cars! We spent hours here and could have spent so much more. A must see if you ever make it to the Detroit area. Went on a Wednesday. It wasn’t overly crowded and we were able to enjoy it without feeling hampered by too many people.

This is a great place to visit! There is so much to do and see one day is certainly not enough.If you are in the area I would certainly recommend stopping by. If you want to see it all without any rush I would recommend at least 1.5 days (assuming you take one full day). Make sure to look into the membership if visiting more than one day!The museum is mostly wheelchair accessible and they also rent wheelchairs if needed.

The Henry Ford museum is definitely my favourite museum in Detroit. It displays a lot of history from the very beginning of motoring up to the present time. My favourite displays would be the United States presidents cars. Followed closely by the 1941 Allegheny Locomotive one of the largest steam powered Locomotives ever built. Very interesting to see also Henry Ford's kitchen bench engine, that's how it all started. There is so much to see in this museum not just cars. You can spend a whole day here enjoying yourself. I highly recommend a visit to this museum.

My visit to the museum was a great experience. The highlight for me was the impressive selection of cars, including those used by presidents. The exhibit showcased a diverse range of vehicles, adding a unique and fascinating dimension to the visit. The overall atmosphere and variety made it a memorable exploration into history culture.

I’ll definitely recommend to visit this museum in Detroit. It’s so huge and you can find here a lot of different things. History of United States. Progress of different directions such as railways, cars, planes, different manual productions. They also recommend factory tour and if you get museum and factory you’ll get discount. We didn’t have enough time and went through museum only. We got tickets in the spot and were not actually even planning to go there and it was Friday so I believe you can have tickets at the door any time. Enjoy and bring your kids there are a lot of interactive elements.

It was one of the best museums I've ever visited. An amazing assortment of innovation under one roof. we spent an entire day there and felt as if we rushed through it. Beautiful assortment of cars, aircraft, and machinery. Then to ha e the bus were Rosa Parks sat and the limo that JFK was shot. Amazing!

This was perhaps the best place that I've visited in a long time!! It was like a kid let loose in a candy shop. The place is absolutely gorgeous. The history behind every piece in that museum is insane, the lady at the front greeting once we entered the actual part of the museum was really really good. She gave a brief on what to expect and where. This place will take a full day to tour if you want to look and read everything. Maybe two. I would definitely visit this place again. Definitely recommended for every single age.

Incredible the history of Ford! It's a huge museum with lots to see. We didn't see everything as I think it would take a few days.The old locomotives were a highlight for me, as well as the cars. The presidential cars was very cool to see.I'm not a huge fan of racing but I have to admit it was very interesting yo learn about racers as athletes and seeing some powerful racing cars over the years.Another highlight was the mathematics, airplanes, and furnishings. The doll houses were incredibly beautiful and detailed.The Walt Disney costumes were also very cool to see up close. If you love fabric and costumes, I highly recommend to see the exhibit. It is only for a short while though.The food was good, some variety of sandwiches, snack food and entree meal. The ladies who work there were wonderful, very funny, and very helpful. I really enjoyed the experience and hope to go back to see what I missed!

You can easily spend the whole day here if you’re into museums. There are two nice cafes inside so you can take a break if you want. The exhibits are well maintained, but the entry fee was expensive compared to other places similar to this museum.If you want a tour of the factory, you will need to go there on a working day.

Not a car museum, but there are cars. This is an American History museum primarily... more Smithsonian-like. I have to say it's one of the best museums I've ever visited. It really is amazing what our forefathers were able to accomplish to build America. Highly recommended. Kid friendly!

Visitor from the UK wowed by this magnificent mueseum. Great variety of exhibits, but one of my favourite sections was the history of cars of all type . There was food and drink available at a couple of locations within the museum. Staff were very helpful, and all I all a memorable day buy, I will have to come back one day to catch up on anything I may have missed . Enjoy..

This was our first Holiday Night's at the Ford. It was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend it for anyone, but dress appropriately. The fireworks are shot off near the baseball field. It was a great time.

I shared a couple pictures of my highlights of this trip. It's a pretty nice place to visit. They are lacking some restaurants or places to get some real food. I visited here about 50 years ago when I was a kid and we went to a nice Italian restaurant and had spaghetti dinner. That appears to be missing in the museum now. Their displays are awesome with a lot of history of our area and Past Times. I recommend it!

An awesome collection of vehicles, modern inventions and lifestyle examples of the past. More than vehicles, the place is rich with history and nostalgia.plan a bit of time to see it all and take in the village on another day as they both require leisurely exploration. Worthwhile visit, a must do in the Detroit area.

My recent visit to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village was a mix of discoveries and mild disappointments. We visited on a Wednesday during the summer, so it was relatively quiet, with no school groups around. Greenfield Village seemed to be in a bit of an off-season mode, with limited displays, but we did get to see the glass blowers in action, which was definitely a highlight!The Henry Ford Museum itself is more than just cars—it's a celebration of American innovation. I particularly enjoyed the mathematics exhibit, though I felt it could have been more expansive. The subject has so much potential for an even more immersive display.One thing that caught me off guard was the lack of a Ford employee discount when purchasing tickets. While the employee website mentions a discount, this wasn’t honored at the ticket counter. It would be nice if they could address that to make the experience even better for employees.Overall, it was a good time, and I’d recommend visiting if you’re interested in American history and innovation. Just be aware of the seasonal changes in Greenfield Village and double-check any discounts ahead of time!

Kids had fun! We ran into a volunteer who was on break but very cheerful and conversational. It was cool to see the museum sections.... we were there for about 3 hours and only saw 2/3s of the exhibits (at kid speed). You could spend multiple days here. We got a tip to bring lunch, so didn't eat at any of the places there. Kids favorite things were the pit stop crew hands on activity, going inside the locomotive, and seeing the barnstormer planes. Adults found the JFK limo more significant than the littles.

So much to see in the museum. It will take you half a day to read through everything and walk through all the exhibit. Even a quick walk through needs about 3 hours.You learn so much on automotive, manufacturing, American history and culture, aerospace and Glass !Love all the massive locomotive engines and massive power generator. They are just massive and beautiful. Train museum is usually outside but it was nice that Henry Ford manage to put these massive engines indoorIt is a must go stop if you are in town

An excellent museum with interesting exhibits for everyone. Far from "just a car museum," it has exhibits focused on aviation, the industrial revolution, the civil rights movement, trains, and lots more.My only regret is that we only scheduled one day to visit the museum and the Greenfield Village, whereas two days would have been the minimum in retrospect.

Beautiful time had by all. Incredible collection allowing a walk through history. The staff had interesting information and stories to share about the period and life of those during that time. We have a membership. I would suggest a day for Henry Ford Museum and a day for Greenfield Village if you're not from this area. After that, you can choose if you need additional visits.

This is certainly the go-to museum in Detroit. It showcases American innovations and progress over the century, not just car-focused. You could spend at least 2 hours in the museum alone. There’s a rotating exhibit space that brings new things in to keep it fresh for returning visitors.There’s plenty to see and do, with sections on agriculture, furniture and housing, car racing, automobile production, aviation, locomotives, and more.The village portion of the grounds can add about 5 hours to your visit so come prepared!

☆○°•The place was very amazing, I was walking in, not expecting much of it, but as I entered, I saw a lot of Presidents cars and the thought of them actually being in there was very cool! There was also a really cute miniature car set displayed, and a place where you could play a car simulator! It was a very pleasant experience :> Next time I visit MI, I will visit the factory too!○☆•°

Spectacular! You need a full day to enjoy and bring your jacket after Oct 31st!! The train usually closes at the end of October, but the Model T drive around the village is worth the money. They also have a bus, that's a great way to hear about the village. They have a horse-drawn carriage as well!!The factory tour is fantastic, with limited photography options, but it is well worth it.The museum is vast, and if you live here, that year pass is the way to go! Visitors take advantage of the different passes according to ride availability. You almost can't get through the museum and village unless you plan for the whole day!! A must-see for sure!

You could literally spend days here. It’s so unique and one of a kind. I came here every weekend as a kid in the 80s and it’s fascinating to see what is still here and what has changed.Even if you could care less about cars or trains or planes this place positions them in a way that integrates them into the progression of life in America and the impact that cars (good and bad) and the social and historical context surrounding that impact.I took my teenagers and thought they would be begging to leave but I had to drag them out at closing time.Just go.

This was the first time my 4 year old son was at the Ford Museum. He loves anything trains and they have the biggest ones in the world. Not my words but my sons. We also went because there was a Paw Patrol exhibit that he is very into at the moment. He had a great time exploring the activities within the area. I would say he enjoyed the time, but some of the stuff he was too young to know why it was there or the history about it.

Went to The Henry Ford Museum with my girlfriend recently. This museum is awesome! We walked through the displays for hours and enjoyed traveling back in time to see history in person. It was a fascinating visit and the exhibits are user friendly and interactive in many cases. We want to come back again and also visit Greenfield Village when it opens up in the spring! Many thanks to everyone working at The Henry Ford Museum!

The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation offers a captivating journey through America's rich history of creativity and invention. The exhibits, ranging from the iconic Rosa Parks bus to the awe-inspiring Wright Brothers' plane, are both educational and inspiring. The museum's interactive displays engage visitors of all ages, making history come alive. The vast collection, coupled with thoughtful curation, showcases the spirit of innovation that shaped the nation. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the experience with their insights. Overall, it's a must-visit destination that brilliantly celebrates American ingenuity and progress.💖💕🛻🚙🚐🚗

We were in town for the Bumper-to-Bumper Auto Parts Technician of the Year Competition. As part of our appreciation itinerary was a day trip to the Henry Ford Museum. My wife & I were so amazed at the amount of history knowledge of the museum we decided to book a motel & stay after the competition, we had our kids drive up ( 17 & 12-year-old boys with a 17-year-old girlfriend) and spent another entire day here with them this time! You could honestly spend 2-3 days here to truly see & do all the activities they have! Especially if you go outside the museum and go into the makeshift city that includes Henry Ford's real childhood house, the Wright Brothers' house & bicycle shop (the shop is where they invented & constructed the airplane), with lots & lots more to do in the city! DEFINITELY BE SURE TO STOP AND GET SOME DELICIOUS CUSTARD! The little shop to get CUSTARD is right after the Wright Brothers' house!

My boyfriend and I visited the Ford museum the end of August last year. We live about 6 hours away in Kentucky. He works in the automotive industry. We both enjoy learning and going to museums. This museum was spectacular! It was huge! It definitely takes a few hours to get through. We bought our tickets once we arrived. You can also purchase them online in advance. There is plenty of parking. There is a restaurant inside the museum as well as a food court area. We had a great day! We did not go to the Village but plan to go there next time!

Did not expect an all round museum here! I thought it was a Ford cars showcase but here is a full innovative museum containing not just fancy cars but the history and evolution of automobile! The presidential cars is surely a highlight here, but there are more to explore! Price is 30 dollars per adult and 9 for parking. Be aware the google navigation is not the most accurate location for the ticket office and entrance. Go straight to the clock tower!

A must visit. Plan for half a day. It could easily take a day to get through if you are into innovation. They have a cafeteria near the entrance and an old diner set up in the middle of the museum that we ate at. The serve mainly a light lunch, sandwiches on bread with chips or coleslaw. They have pie and milkshakes. There is seating outside the dinner but we ate inside for the aesthetics. You'll see trains, cars, planes, woodwork, industrial machinery, generational items and so much more.

This was a great museum, there was so much to see. Huge collection of cars, planes and trains. The collection of race cars was quite impressive and a highlight had to be the bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. We spent the entire day and there would have been more to see still. Definately worth a visit.

I went to the Henry Ford museum with my grandparents and younger brother for a 3 day trip which I do recommend as it takes one day to drive, one day for the museum, and one day for the village. I also highly recommend the Rouge factory tour during a week day so you can see the Ford F150’s during the building process. I was lucky when I went on a Saturday and they were building the F150’s as they normally don’t work Saturday’s and are closed Sunday. We payed for the Family membership which I highly recommend as it covers two people whose names are on the membership along with two children/grandchildren, the membership also covers the admission for the village. The member ship costed I believe 140$ is person and is 215$ online, but for an additional fee the membership can cover all rides at the village. With the membership in general you get 10% off all store merchandise.

What a great museum. This is my second visit. I was able to bring my wife this trip (she’s a huge history buff). This museum has something for everyone. I’m a pilot and I collect cars so I’m obviously attracted to the car and airplane collection! Only downside was the village being closed. Guess we need to make another trip!

Great experience! It's a Ford museum, but not just about Ford. Cool display of historic cars including some rare ones. So many things to see and time just flies by when in there. Would highly recommend!

Definitely worth the visit! Make sure you give yourself several hours to walk around and really see it all or better yet take two days. I do have one complaint though. The lady at the counter who took our money for the museum never asked us if were parked, we were just automatically charged $9 for parking. Do they not ever think that people might get dropped off then picked back up? Why would you charge for parking then?

Had a great time at the museum and outside area. The staff was really friendly. Will have to go back as we didn't get to see everything. You really need a full two days to experience everything. Great place for kids and adults.

A great day for our 4 generation group. Recommend using the app.caution: high noise level at the Dinosaur Exhibit was unexpected. Kids loved it but taxing on older ears.Noise level in the cafeteria was so loud it triggered some anxiety while ordering and eating.Exhibits outstanding. Be sure to have bluetooth on when using the app.Only problem was person bringing politics into the museum and pestering my family. They finally disengaged.

Love the museum, have been a member for years! I particularly love the new racing exhibit with the racing simulators! Today we were there looking at it as a possible wedding venue, and I have to say the staff is absolutely top notch. Easy to work with, prompt with excellent follow up! The materials on there own were a little confusing but when they laid them out it was very easy to understand/ budget. Lovett hall was absolutely breathtaking, and is currently at the top of our list!

Definitely a great place to spend the day and appreciate all the ingenuity and leadership inventing and building such renown vehicles etc. I mean just some of the machining techniques and precision applications are impressive to say the least. You can literally spend all day here, they do have food and restaurants , which is a great thing.

So much to do, so much to see. I spent about 3 hours here and still could go for many more.It's not just about Ford history itself but about the broader history of the world.A great variety of cars on display and other exhibits are worth the time and money to spend on it.I also took a short 30 minute free tour and it was great.

This was a really awesome place to spend the day with the family. We loved looking around at all the cars, planes, and machinery this place has on display. So much to see and do while being here; especially when you get to the race cars. We all had so much fun; kids and adults alike.I recommend buying your tickets online in advance. It was quite easy to do and saved us time once we arrived at the museum.We will need to come back to see the rest of the things we didn't get to spend as much time with.

What a wonderful museum! I was especially impressed with the exhibits created to engage children ages 9 -13. Our grandkids quickly learned how to operate the electronic kiosks. They also discovered that metal stairways led to great things. We took the tour to the Rouge Factory, where they assemble the F-150 trucks. That was an exceptional tour! I highly recommend it.

Our family stopped in to visit the museum on the way back from a trip through Canada and we're glad we took the slight detour on our way back home.There is so much automotive and American history packed into this space.We could have spent many more hours walking around looking at exhibits but the youngest of our kids had finally had enough after 3 hours.Be sure to check out the paper airplane creation space if you have little ones. We spent the most time there tweaking our designs for the ultimate flight distance.The presidential limos and train area were really cool as well.

Stopped by just to kill some time while in the Detroit area and was blown away. This is a world class museum that does an exceptional job of displaying and interpreting the history of the Industrial Revolution and how it has affected the human experience. You will spend hours here!

The wife and I had an great time during our time in the museum. A very massive museum. It would take someone at least three days if you stopped to read every placqured that would be there on every piece of equipment. Really enjoyed the history era about everyday life and the items that was used from the 1900' to 2020. The era took me back to my days of being a kid and re-visiting that era of 1980. Again its a very informative museum.

This is the coolest museum I have ever been to. When you think Henry Ford you think it's just going to be an automobile museum but it's literally everything from the first brick maker to airplanes. I suggest taking the factory tour as well .. it's like a Disney Land ride meets manufacturing

What a very informative museum!! We all love it so much. There is lots of exhibitions inside the museum and suitable for all ages of visitors to come. So many historical vehicles demonstrated to take famous presidents of America with security facilities. Will come again.

Really good time. Had 4 hours to kill before a flight and spent it wandering here. In the four hours I was there I probably saw half or less of what the museum offers. I could easily spend two days here. The staff was fantastic and the kids loved it.

Hands down the most fascinating museum of all time and to think how priceless this exhibit is! You see everything from the light bulb is invented to the car JFK was assassinated to riding in the cars that put the world on wheels…..the Model T. You can watch glass blowing, pottery making, knitting and weaving, printing and more! There is so much effort and truly honoring exhibits to the American legacy as a country and the inventions made that have bettered the lives of many for more than a century! What an honor to come see all this in person! They even had a Tucker Torpedo! Such a rare vehicle! You can go in trains and the stations for kids were neat too! Kids could do some neat projects too! Hands down a MUST

February 2024 - came here with family and friends. We had a good time with the paw patrol exhibit. A lot to see here and listen to. They have some new things since we have last visited. Race car game and they updated that area with some other things to do. Kids loved the automobile section. They added a plume market and a restaurant inside. You can buy wine from what I heard from two mom's. They have a nice gift shop and a lot of neat things to see.

Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are my wife's and my favorite spots to visit on the weekends. We have a membership, and we absolutely love the Village. The historical value of the collections at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are absolutely priceless. The Village is stunning, and the grounds are so well manicured that they make my landscaping at home look like the city dump. The buildings are original historical figure homes that have been moved onto the property, and most of the buildings have original equipment and supplies from before the buildings have been moved onto the property. So cool!!!

Very cool museum and much more than just cars and information about Henry. Ford. Definitely plan to spend several hours and if you're going to do any of the additional tours plan for a good half day or more. There is a lot to see and do and really a fun family outing. Only complaint is that it's honestly pretty pricey at $40 per adult for just going to the museum and nothing extra.

This place is truly such a wonderful place. As someone who has been a Michigander all my life, I didn’t visit until about a year and a half ago and oh my! It’s just wonderful. They have SO much to see. Definitely possible to walk through MOST of it in one day, but to really enjoy it all, I feel as though a couple days might give you a better chance to take it all in. It was well-organized, clean, and intentionally curated. They had something for truly anyone interested in the car-scene. There were also several full sized train cars inside the museum, we were able to walk into a few of them. They also had a very large LEGO exhibit when we visited around Christmas. It was so much fun seeing all the history, beautifully maintained. Will most certainly be back.

Very disappointed they make you pay to park here. The ticket prices are high enough as it is.That is my only complaint. Other than that, this place is phenomenal. Spiritual almost when you interact with some of the artifacts and displays. Getting to sit in the bus Rosa Parks made history on was unforgettable.The ticket price is high and worth it. The parking is a scam.

Exceeded my expectations!This place is broken up into so many subcategories and is so massive it just goes on and on and I really was blown away by it!If you want to see everything you need to plan on a couple days. There are tickets that you can buy that you can keep overnight and bring back the next day if that's necessary in your situation.I only went through the museum itself which would be 3 to 4 hours if you walk briskly. There's also the village area which would take an entire day as well. At the time of writing this the museum ticket was $35 per adult in the village area ticket was $41 per adult. The museum has an area with miniature doll houses, steam engines, agricultural equipment from long ago, etc.There was even mathematics exhibit and science center where you can get your geek on... There were a lot of kids in this area as well as the area that had dinosaurs.There are full size airplanes hanging.There were massive train engines and cars throughout the exhibit showing you how massive and big this building is!I did not see everything so I look forward to going back someday!

Was a really good experience. The lights were great had a good variety. The only complaint I would have would be they had VIP areas I guess they were called, with heaters and drinking areas, that had nobody in them. But we could not use them not even to go walk underneath a patio heater to warm up for a few minutes was kind of ignorant being that it was like 20° outside and there was nobody in these spaces except for the people GUARDING them. I HOPE IT PAID OFF FOR THEM BEING AS IT LOOKED LIKE NOBODY HAD PURCHASED VIP TICKETS. There was other people mumbling about it but all in all it was a good trip to see the lights.

Great family destination! Great for all ages! There are tons of awesome exhibits. We were excited to see the polar bears but unfortunately the entire exhibit was empty. There are tons of food options (also vegetarian options) they allow coolers too! The staff was very kind & helpful answering questions. There are multiple gift shops & tons of fun things like face paintings & silly drawings for kids.

Wow, I have been to a few zoos in my lifetime but this place tops my list.Very walkable routes, easily accessible for all. Train ride helped with tired feet. Animal living quarters were phenomenally maintained and had beautiful scenery to look at, which the design allows patrons to get really up close to these majestic animals. Grounds were super clean and maintained. Staff were all helpful and pleasant. I really enjoyed the staff at the animal areas giving us great information about them. I totally recommend and would return.

Love the Detroit Zoo! We live fairly close, but haven't been there for a while. We used to get annual memberships when our kids were younger. It has something for everyone, lots of animals and exhibits, knowledgeable staff and volunteers to talk about the animals or answer questions. A train that runs from the front to the back, a store, food options, and you can bring food in. There are lots of areas to have a picnic. If you are going for a day and plan ahead you can buy tickets at a discount online. They also offer after hour events for adults and families.

We went to see the wild lights for the first time. It was snowing but so much fun. Our kiddos loved it. (4&2) We were able to see a few animals that braved the snow as a bonus. The lights were amazing and our kids loved the stepping tunes the best. We enjoyed getting popcorn to takes home but due to the weather we did eat or drink there but were excited to see hot chocolate stands and other warm foods.

Love the Detroit Zoo....Always a nice time 😊. The Dinosaurs were up, which my son and I love!, and the penguin enclosure was nice and clean...the water was so clear. It was good to see the animals are being well taken care of. The Zoo itself was also clean and well maintained. We also took the train ride, which was nice, and saw a 4D movie which was awesome. I had never been to a 4 D movie...... definitely a fun experience 😃. Overall, no complaints about this visit. We had a nice time.

Lovely day today! Zoo was clean, beautifully manicured, bathrooms were clean.Brought my father in his wheelchair and the pathways and exhibits were easy to navigate.The 4D movies were excellent and had delightful surprises in the seats - see it for yourself!All personnel were courteous and helpful.A delightful surprise in the middle of the city! We were partial to the butterfly exhibit!

What a great experience! Plenty of places to sit and rest with lots of shade to cool off, misters and water refill stations located throughout the zoo. Lots to see and most of the animals were pretty active. The food was all delicious and reasonably priced. The bathrooms were pretty well kept. We never felt over crowded or like our personal space was invaded as there were wide walk ways and plenty of room to move about. We spent about 5 hours at the zoo and it was time well spent!

This zoo was great bought the tickets online, website was very user friendly. Gates were easy to enter and exit. The train was lots of fun. A lot of the animals were out and others were not due to the heat. There were a lot of water bottle filling stations, places for picnics, water misters and fans. Animals selection was awesome.

I recently traveled from London, Ontario, to visit the Detroit Zoo, and it was an experience to remember! The zoo itself was well-maintained, with a wide variety of animals and exhibits that were both educational and enjoyable. However, what truly stood out was the kindness and professionalism of the staff.Unfortunately, just before I was about to leave, I realized I had lost my wallet. Panic set in as it contained my driver’s license, vehicle registration, IDs, and all my credit and debit cards. I immediately reached out for help, and the staff at the safari market, lost & found, photo booth, and security were incredibly cooperative and efficient. Thanks to their swift actions and support, I found my wallet in less than 40 minutes!A huge thank you to the kind people of Detroit and the amazing staff at the zoo. Your efforts turned what could have been a stressful situation into a moment of relief and gratitude. I highly recommend the Detroit Zoo—not just for the wonderful exhibits but for the outstanding service and care provided by the staff.

We went to see the holiday lights at night in December. The paid the basic entrance fee none of the all you can eat or add on tickets. It was beautiful and very fun. Very creative light displays, especially the under the sea section.

We bought the daytime zoo visit and night light bundle, which was well worth the price. We entered the zoo around 3 pm and saw many animals including penguins, camels, otters, tigers, chimpanzees/gorillas. We didn’t finish visiting all of the animals because of time limit. We should have been there at 2 pm, which would allow us to visit the whole zoo before closure. So please plan well and have at least 2 hours for a full zoo tour. The night lights show was also amazing and interactive. We made wishes at the giant wish tree, which was a great memory.

Reasonably priced zoo with lots to see and do in a generally busy area. We went there recently for my birthday and we had a pretty good time! Haven't been there since I was a kid, so it was nice seeing the new penguin exhibit.The enclosures here are spaced out and quite beautifully done. All the animals look happy and healthy. My favorite enclosure was the kangaroo one— it was super cool being able to go inside their habitat and walk alongside them.Despite being the off season, almost all the exhibits were open, including a few restaurants. We spent a good three and a half hours there, taking our time to walk around. There's a lot of scenic walking trails, too.Overall, definitely the nicest zoo here in Michigan! It's really well managed, and everyone that works here is very friendly.

Okay, so if you read negative reviews about this zoo, they were wrong. This park is nicely spaced out and features an open-air viewing of most exhibits. The food is on par with what you'd expect from a popular attraction. It is not the best burger you'll ever eat. It's not the worst either. The price is comparable to other parks. I have been too and cheaper, in my opinion. We spent the entire day at the zoo enjoying the various exhibits and attractions.

Go into the buildings! Look around! There's a lot of hideaways and interiors that people just kept walking by. The backside of the rhino exhibit was entirely empty and it was right beside them! Look at my pic! Zoo is very well built up and they take great care of the paths. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, willing to share without hesitation. Food staffing were great too! I'm very impressed.

Kids have fun, but the zoo seemed like it had a lot of exhibits that were closed or under construction, and there was a lack of open vendors when the zoo was aware that the large groups of schools coming that day, it was a warm day when it got xloser to noon & so the kids wanted frozen drinks but they ran out of $10 cups so they could sell them in regular cups for the same price. All in all I prepaid the ticket & parking but there are no signs to tell you where you park but the attendant asks if you bought parking. You really need 3 hours to visit the zoo nicely. Hopefully, they have all the exhibits open when & if we return again.

Got pictures with a polar bear so already 5 stars just because of that. Sharon was super helpful at the penguin exhibit. She told us many interesting facts and pointed out what each penguin was. The butterfly and bird sanctuary were nice because it felt like it was not winter. The fresh air from the plants was nice.

Highly recommend. Hadn't been to the zoo in a long time and was very impressed by the exhibits and the activity level of the animals. Had a great time. The polar bears and the penguins were the highlights. Zoo staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Visited zoo during Canadian Stat holiday (Victoria day), Canadians can pay in CAD dollars, I recommend getting yearly membership, worth it if you plan on visiting again throughout the year.Had good time visiting the zoo with my kids. Day was hot, but we managed to keep hydrated and protected from sun.

Soooo much fun! My adult daughter and I met up at the zoo and it was a blast from the past! We had a ball talking about the updates, what we remember over the years and enjoying the beautiful weather. I purchased a buggy for the day for $30, worth every penny, the price you pay for aging.

Relatively nice zoo, but it seems to have a lot of construction going on and we didn't see many animals in the 3 hours that we were there. Tickets were pricey for what time we had there, for a full day it would have been fine. Food/ beverage prices were REALLY high (over $5 for a CAN of water).Not sure we'd make the trip to visit again.

We had a nice time while we were here and loved the animal enclosures. They were pretty unique compared to some of the zoo we've been to in Ohio. The penguins were our favorite!!We went on a weekend and it wasn't too busy. We got there right as they opened. They seemed to be struggling the day we went. The train wasn't running yet when we got there so we bought tickets and waited. We were told it would be about 30 min so we went to check out the penguins. The time we were told it would run kept changing and getting pushed back so after an hour we moved on and figured we'd get on at the other station later in the day. Then half the zoo closed and was evacuated as soon as we left the train terminal so we waited around on some benches. We figured we could eat lunch while we waited for the closed portion of the zoo to open back up, however after waiting about 30 min for the restaurants to open a worker came out and told everyone waiting they weren't opening. We did eventually get to see everything at the zoo and ride the train but we had to rush through everything as we had other places to be in the afternoon.I think this zoo has the potential to be really amazing. We didn't have an amazing experience but it could have been if everything was open and working as it should have been. Unfortunately we live about 3 hours away so it's unlikely we will visit again.

What an absolutely amazing place for long walks and sightseeing. All the variety and nature wonders and exotic animals to see. Except for the beaver 🦫. I have never seen the beaver. It’s supposed to be there, but never been seen. One time i saw a couple of visitors passing by and one way saying to another: “I don’t think there is a beaver in there. They just have a sign 🪧 but no beaver in there” 😂 Hopefully one day I’ll get to see that shy one in there. Zoo is well taken care of , very clean , spacious, animals are well treated and look healthy and nicely taken care of. It’s not an easy work. But staff is doing a really great job. This is a historic place and I’m happy to be a member and enjoy it as often as possible. Highly recommend to get a membership as it’s totally worth it! And hopefully I’ll get to see that beaver one day 😊

Had a nice time. There are a lot of updates to the zoo in progress, and I am looking forward to all the new updates. Be prepared to spend a lot of money 💰 🤑 if you don't plan on packing a lunch. I had chicken tenders and fries, which cost me $14, and you don't get much just two tenders. My son had the All American Angus Burger with fries 🍟 he said it was OK, not cooked enough, and it was $15. The burger was pretty small. The food was from Table 28 formoly Artic Cafe.

What an AMAZING ZOO! I love a trip to the zoo, and have been to many of them of all sizes. But this zoo, this is for sure the best zoo I have ever been to hands down! Just beautiful. Plenty of room at every exhibit for each person to see. My family WILL be making the 2 hr drive back!!

I've been going to the Detroit Zoo since I was a kid and they gave changed so much over the years. The new tiger and updated kangaroos exhibit are really nice. Employees are always kind and helpful. Food is pricey but that's everywhere you go. The Detroit Zoo allows you to bring in food and non alcoholic drinks with a few restrictions so that does help with cost. There is lot's to do I just wish they had more affordable animal encounters like the Columbus Zoo has but we still love coming here.

Zoo Was nice, it was clean, staff we encountered were friendly. Reason for 4 stars and not 5, is the dinosaur exhibit, have to pay an extra 6$ for a 10min walk through, should be included in the price of admission, it's not worth the 6$, but the kid wanted to see it. Food at Table 28 was pretty decent and didn't seem to over priced, other than drinks. Great day spent otherwise.

Detroit Zoo is a world class zoo with conservation at its core. It’s open all year round, though in certain weather, some exhibits will be closed with animals viewable from indoor enclosures. Additionally, warm weather activities like the carousel, face painting, etc., as well as some of the eateries close during the winter.Table28, the zoo’s main restaurant is open year round and the prices compare to an average diner. There’s also a cafe to get coffee, espresso and tea drinks. Fun fact: Table28 was named for the opening year, 1928.There are tons of picnic areas and places to rest. You will likely see at least one of the many peacocks roaming free around zoo grounds. There is also a playground for younger kids.Will plan add more photos after our next visit. Don’t be like me and make sure your phone is sufficiently charged before you go. ☺️

The Detroit Zoo has really taken on some big projects since the 90s growing up.#1 the polar bear exhibit where the two polar bears can swim feet away from you thanks to the viewing glass in the tunnel & polar exploration exhibits.#2 the penguin center which is absolutely stunning with an immersive Antarctic voyage through the Drake Passage to visit our waddling friends!#3 the food is great and the smoothie & power bowl shack is a welcome addition and break from classics like pretzels, burgers, etc.#4 the currently under construction North American exhibits promise to deliver an amazing new experience upon completion.

Went today, July 18, it was 62 degrees at 9am. All the animals were out. It was the best visit I've had so far. Everything is super clean. Landscapes kept neat. Loved it. Took 3 1/2 hours to tour the entire area.

Christmas wild lights was spectacular! Was here 5 years ago, so glad we came back, there is now a theme to the lights and I really enjoyed the ocean/sea creatures theme! Was so much fun to visit with family over the Christmas holidays. Parking was easy ($8), staff were present to guide you to a spot. It was very festive, the kids loved all the lights. There was a small interactive corner with the wishing tree, see saw, lit up train and bear for the children to hang out. Lots of little rest stops selling hot drinks and snacks to warm up in if you got too cold. There was a nice carousel in the middle so the children loved that! Overall we had a lot of fun and spent about 1.5-2hrs here!

It was only a 35 min drive from my place in Canada, so there was convenience. Parking was great and organized. Pay when you get tickets. I don’t know if we missed some, but it only took about an hour to walk through and we stopped and Waited for hot chocolate at one of the stores. The areas were clean and the ground was even and easy to walk through. The difference between our local lights and this, their displays were huge and had so many fun animals. So many children were there just loving the atmosphere.It’s rather expensive in my opinion. Parking and 2 tickets cost $81 Canadian, our local lights are free, and has local vendors selling their products and food trucks and it seems to cover a similar amount of ground, the displays are just a bit smaller at home

I love this zoo. Will forever come back no matter what. A lot of closers right now and very few exhibits to see. Maybe wait a while before you go. Looks like a lot of exciting things coming soon to the Detroit zoo, can't wait!

The prices are great, such a great array of animals. Love that they have cooling stations and that someone is going around on a golf cart asking if you need ice or water. The staff was amazing and so friendly and helpful

What an AMAZING ZOO! I love a trip to the zoo, and have been to many of them of all sizes. But this zoo, this is for sure the best zoo I have ever been to hands down! Just beautiful. Plenty of room at every exhibit for each person to see. Not a bunch of old unmanaged guards all over in the way of viewing. Plenty of hydration stations, rest areas, and restrooms. Nice misting areas to keep guests cool while visiting. And even though my zoo membership did not show on my end that Detroit was a reciprocal zoo when I asked the girl at the ticket counter she gave my family half price admission and parking without hesitation! My family WILL be making the 2 hr drive back!!

Great place to spend the day. We were there on a Thursday. There was no waiting in line to enter. You can buy tickets online in advance if you prefer. Tickets were $27 per adult, $8 for parking. Lots of animals to see and learn about. Park is clean, bathrooms clean also. Places to fill up your water bottles throughout the park as well! Very nice so you can refill your container when you bring your own. Train runs all day until about 5:00 p.m. and is $3 per rider. Merry Go Round $3 per rider. Butterfly house was nice as well. Lots of butterflies. Did not notice very many birds in the sanctuary. Plenty of places to sit, relax, picnic and take pictures. Places to buy food, drinks and snacks in the park. A bit expensive tho.

Cool Zoo, just make sure you go in season. Early spring, many renovations are going on and animals don’t seem to be as active. Make sure you eat first, because as expected, food is $$$$. If you get a chance to go for the Christmas lights, those are amazing.

We went on a very nice Spring day. What a nice place to walk around. There are lots of animals to see, some indoors due to the cooler weather. The free-range peacocks were a hit with our family. But the highlight was our time in the penguin complex! Just amazing to see them up close in an environment made to be like their natural habitat. Washrooms are conveniently located all around. Staff were so nice and able to answer questions. A great experience!

We showed up around 9:30 and the place was packed due to the summer rates. Make sure you bring a lunch, Glad to keep yourself hydrated, as well as a wagon to pull your kiddos or items in.Exhibits for just amazing and kept everybody Entertained. At one point we encountered a water fountain that had a misting ability if you push the button. Great on a warm day.We felt a little sorry for the polar bear who was pacing back and forth the entire time.We will definitely be back as the place is amazing..Don't forget that train rides are $3 a person one way! :-)

I love animals so much, and am really happy we have the zoo for us to both see animals and rehabilitate them! Food and souvenirs were pricey, but that is to be expected I suppose. Lots of awesome animals like rhinos, chimpanzees, and so many birds! They also have several misters that you can go under to cool down on hot days, so that was a nice touch. Overall great place, just be prepared to walk!

I have visited a lot of zoos, I was so impressed. Detroit Zoo is definitely a must see! Look for the kangaroos, red pandas, or the reptile exhibit. All will wow you! We walked 4 miles, so wear your good walking shoes and bring a lunch!

This is a great zoo. Me and my family went and had a great time. The line moved quickly to get in. The staff are very nice, professional, and inviting.There are many animals to see. They also have a playground where the kids can play.If you need an attraction to visit, I recommend you stop by the Detroit Zoo.

The zoo was bustling with activity as usual, and we managed to see almost everything we wanted. Unfortunately, the kangaroo exhibit was closed for construction again, which seems to be a recurring theme. The food, although priced the same ($$), was still quite enjoyable. The train wasn't running on the day we visited, but hopefully, it will be operational on our next visit. Despite these minor setbacks, we had a delightful time exploring the zoo.

Great zoo! All of the animals are rescues and the staff are super sweet and friendly. We spent all day here.9am to 2pm though we definitely could’ve spent more time and took our time throughout the whole zoo, though this is how long it took to visit all the exhibits for us and our little one. We packed our own lunch, and brought our stroller wagon. Highly recommend putting an AirTag in your stroller to make it easier to find. We loved the fact that it was pretty much all open concept and no high fences, so it made it easier to see the animals.They’re currently renovating a few of their spaces and exhibits, and would love to come back to see it once it’s finished. I would highly suggest going early in the morning to skip majority of the high traffic! Once 11-12 hit, the zoo was super busy and packed. So I’m glad we went right when it opened and got close parking.Also highly recommend buying tickets in advanced if possible because they’re cheaper! However, we waited until the day of the purchase because we weren’t sure if the weather was going to be nice and it was beautiful. It appears on nicer days the prices of the tickets fluctuate and increase.

The zoo is really big so be prepared to walk. Misters are a good touch for hot days. The food is good at table 28, a little bit on pricey but understandable being a Picnic spot. We skipped the Dinosaur walk not sure why that was extra $. Do not miss the butterfly section that’s the best part. We did that at End so not a lot of people but amazing experience. The staff was fantastic as we.

Was at the Michigan vs little brother game with my dad today. Great game. Great stadium. Go BLUE! We are gonna beat Rutgers, Nebraska, Illinois and then that team down south. Parked at the Presbyterian church about 1.25 miles away and April helped us out and was very hospitable. I hope to one day return to see the view of the stadium from the box seats. Also shout out Roman Wilson and moody!

All I can say is.. if You haven't experienced a game or event at this stadium You need too before it's too late. What an amazing experience !! "The Big House"

GO BLUE!! First time for our family visiting The Big House! We cannot wait to come back. Hubby born & raised in Dearborn moved to Illinois when he met me! We all had such an amazing experience for our first game. Prices on food were not to shabby! Seats are tight but manageable! The atmosphere the fans the whole effect so we’ll worth the trip!!!

GO BLUE! The Big House is a sight to behold, seating over 100,000 people every game. I went here for the Ohio St game last November, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The atmosphere is amazing and visibility is great at almost every seat.Ann Arborites are also very nice! Anyone who wants the best college football experience has to come to Michigan.

A football game at the big house is an experience like no other. The atmosphere is unmatched. This is the largest stadium in North America and the third largest stadium in the entire world, so expect packed games because they almost always have sell outs. Crowds of over 100k are common place here.

Well it was our first game at the big house. It wasn't as bad as we were told. There are washrooms everywhere...The seating is very uncomfortable. I suppose it would be if you were 5 foot tall. I'm 6'2".. I had no where to put my knees but into the back of the guy in front of me. Though I suppose it was ok as the guy behind me had his knees firmly pressed into my spine. The stadium holds 109000 though I'm betting if they changed that to 70000 you would have had more comfort. The atmosphere was amazing. Other then feeling like a sardine the whole time... it was a once in a lifetime experience.

I go to at least one game every single year and it is always an incredible experience that I can’t wait to share with my son every year.

Best stadium of any sport at any level. This stadium was meant for football. Awesome environment and the efficiency with which it handles 115,000 fans (parking, traffic, people movement, food, bathrooms, concessions, support staff, safety) is superior to any stadium - pro or college - by a long shot. The atmosphere and facilities are first rate. The fans are great. The football spirit is great. Not a bad seat in the stadium. The only criticism is that it's too crowded - well no duh, how else do you fit 115,000 fans? As a Chicagoan who travels to many different sport venues, U of M stadium is so much better than any pro-sport venue, its not even close.

This is my first time being in the big house and I have to say the people who work the lines they're the people who work in the stores they're all in a great mood everyone was in a super nice welcoming mood and I was stupid excited. Of course it was the opening day so what's not to be excited about that but just nice to be in a place where there's so many workers that were nice.

“This is the University of Michigan where we respect integrity and honor excellence. We are loyal Wolverines. Standing for Midwestern values, hard work, determination and an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. We are the best university in the world. Students athletes and professors achieving to the highest level. This is our legacy and our future. We are proud members of the BIG Ten Conference in pursuit of national championships. We have won more games than anyone in the country. No one has won more. We believe in football... championship football. We shy away from no challenge or opponent. We bow to no man. We bow to no program. We are Michigan.”

Just saw the maize and blues 2022 spring scrimmage with the kids. It was a free event and I can't say how much I would recommend it. Not only the game was entertaining as always but it was additionally entertaining to hear some of the penalties and calls by the refs against the opposing sides in funny ways. The kids got to go down onto the field and meet the players and have signatures! Definitely a highlight of their spring break!

Largest stadium in the US, didn’t disappoint. Looking to watch a game with 110,000+ of your closest friends? Look no further! You’re packed in a little tight and forget leaving for food, drink or the bathroom if you’re not in an end seat, but there is no other experience like this. It was amazing, will definitely go back. Bucket list item checked off. Go Blue!

I love Michigan football. Watching the games is great. But the food is not good, huge lines for men’s bathrooms and I think there are 3 drinking fountains for 110,000 people. U of M has the means to do better.

We only got to see the outside of The Big House, but WOW! You can still hear the sniveling and crying from the fans of that team down south 🤣💛💙〽️ Hoping someday soon we'll be here for a game or THE GAME! GO BLUE!! x-h-i-x still sucks 🤣💛💙💛💙〽️

Did a staff stadium tour. Great facilities here for regular and VIP fans alike! Be prepared for a lot of walking around though.

Holy Moly, this stadium is large. My bucket list was fulfilled by purchasing, flying to Michigan, and watching the Wolverines host the Buckeyes and seeing who remains undefeated between two unbeaten and powerhouse teams. I have to say, I was overwhelmed with the crowd capacity, the energetic vibe despite very cold temperatures, and the overall collegiate Big Ten Football experience. I don’t know which is better, a very hyped college game or a dynamic NFL match-up game. I highly encourage true collegiate football fanatics to come experience the vibe here at the Big House when your team comes to play here, it’s unlike any other college stadium and football atmosphere.

I love this place! Beautiful to see the games sell out and looking around seeing over 100,000+ people? It’s really cool! I do wish there could be some form of cushion for the seats, but that’s really it. The food tastes and is fresh for every game. Really I have nothing bad to say even walking to the stadium it’s really cool seeing the other wolverines walking and basically taking over the road lol.

We had so much fun at this game! They really make these games a full experience, it was really nice - once in a lifetime type of feel. We came to a college tour and I initially got scammed on tickets (my fault). During the tour I met some other parents/alumni and they blessed us with tickets they couldn't use. If you wanna come I highly recommend planning way in advance but it was such an amazing time. Getting in was easy and fast despite so many people (100K!). You can't bring bags in, but if you forget (like me) they also have a fast and easy bag check. I was impressed how they accommodated so many people. Even for bathrooms and concessions we never waited more than 1 minute in a line. Also it's extremely accessible for those in wheelchairs. 10/10 highly recommend, if you have an opportunity to go you won't regret it!

The Big House, home of Michigan Wolverine Football. A very big, easily recognizable stadium, easy to see from the road or from downtown due to the huge block M on the scoreboard. Parking is tricky and regulated to street parking, prices vary but the closer to the stadium you get, the more expensive the parking. While this stadium boasts the largest capacity for a football game, what they don't tell you is you can only put one butt cheek comfortably on your "seat", you will be watching this game sideways, it's uncomfortable and annoying. The fans in general are ok to be around, the concessions are ok, maybe a bit pricey for a college football game but you get what you get. Getting out of Ann Arbor after a game WILL take you a while, be prepared.

My step daughter graduated from University of Michigan this year. The ceremony was in the big house. It held the 70,000 people fine... but that's because they ripped out the seats with backs and armrests and installed all low skinny benches numbered about every foot. Also we sat close to the field so we had a long hike up stairs with really tall risers to leave. I would also plan showing up an hour early to make time for the lines getting in. All in all, it was well worth the trip and I'd go again. Thanks for reading!

An absolute powerhouse of an experience! The sheer magnitude of this iconic stadium is awe-inspiring. I had the incredible fortune to witness many games here, and it was nothing short of electrifying. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and passion from the devoted fans. And to top it off, witnessing 'The Game' victory here was an experience I'll cherish forever (3 times in a row!). The energy was crazy, the cheers echoing through the stadium were spine-tingling, and the shared love for maize and blue among fellow supporters was awesome. The stadium's layout ensured an excellent view from wherever I was seated, and the facilities were top-notch. This stadium embodies the spirit of college football and leaves an indelible mark on anyone lucky enough to be a part of the action. A must-visit for any sports enthusiast or Michigan fan! Go Blue

Great place to see a game, "The Game"! The Big House holds a lot of fans and the energy is out of sight! There are plenty of food choices and the bathrooms downstairs are huge! If you don't mind a little walk, you can get out of town fairly easily. Awesome experience!

What an experience! Nothing compares to college football. The atmosphere, the fans and the sport! Definitely recommend going early for tailgating in Ann Arbor. Can't wait to go back for another game this fall. Go BLUE!

Attended The Game on Nov. 25 and loved the experience. Go Blue! Great atmosphere, fans, and venue. If you’re a college football fan this venue is a must.

I am honor that Katheryn’s Catering hires my business to provide balloons every year for this event.

Great experience! This was my first visit to The Big House and it did not disappoint. They displayed the new light show and it definitely got the crowd hype!It's a nightmare trying to get through the crowd so "quick" trips to the bathroom or concessions can be daunting.Worth noting - Invest in a seat cushion. I'll be getting one with a back rest because it can become uncomfortable sitting on the bleachers after a while.

This place is awesome. Definitely would be better if they sold alcohol but i understand. O e of the greatest college football stadiums in the country. The fans around me were all good, not too crazy. Concession stands were pretty good lines weren't too long. Parking is pretty high. Paid $70, but i guess it is what it is.

Fantastic Dentistry Interns. State of the art equipment. Friendly people.Only beefs: Administration is still making people wear masks and do covid tests. Parking lot girl acted like we were interrupting her day

A world renowned university and medical system on a beautiful campus that is always clean and well maintained. The campus both the university and medical campus are situated in areas where petty crime can be an issue so always be vigilant but the university has extensive campus security and campus police on patrol. It's such a great campus and a great place to work or learn.

Great university campus, happy students, friendly and ethnically-diverse atmosphere every time I've visited. Weighted against about ten comparable universities I've spent time around, this is in the top 3. Ann Arbor is a really nice place. :)

The campus is good.But no so romantic or of highest value..The University is a center of excellence.

Go Blue, the campus is incredible and the way education is highly emphasized you can't beat the leaders and best! The campus has changed so much from the 70s.

It was my first time going to the big house and it was an absolute blast! Tailgating with my friend was fun and the game was amazing as well! If you're a huge michigan fan and have never been to the big house to see a game, I highly recommend it!

The campus us beautiful. Friendly staff and students. Lots of fun attending a football game. Parking wasn't a nightmare like we assumed, police had streets marked clearly and was directing traffic. The venu was perfect.

U of M is right in the middle of downtown Ann Arbor and so it is extremely pleasant to walk around on campus. The academic buildings are extremely nice as well, inside and out. It is a very large school so the student generally remains fairly anonymous (but if they make an effort, they can stand out) so they remain distant from the professors. The University also has tons of extracurricular activities of all kinds -- which is awesome, but does make it difficult to find time to study. Overall, it's a great place to be and offers so many opportunities, it can be an amazing incubator for professional success.

My son and I went for Saturday Morning Physics, where the discussion was about the ISS, with Q & A with NASA Astronaut Josh Cassada & Professor John Foster. Very interesting and enjoyable.Afterwards we visited UM Natural History Museum, on Campus, this rivaled any museum we have visited in the past.

Has gone way down hill since COVID. Communication is absolutely not the strong suit of any department and I am a patient with 5 departments currently. When they do finally get to you they couldn’t possibly be more rude. I miss the way things were before.

Beautiful campus. Mix of historic and modern blended perfectly. Amazing free museums! Easy street parking.

University of Michigan offers programs to enhance the development skills and to educate the minds of students to achieve and accomplish everything they desire for a brighter future.

Update: the professor I had been in touch with, professor Lohmann, seems to be as unprofessional as the rest of the faculty I had the misfortune of dealing with. We had a fine zoom meeting where we discussed the program I was interested in and he’s the one that had me reach out to someone of Jennifer Alexander’s job title for further assistance as well. Lohmann was supposed to get back to me the following week and I have not heard back since. Take your money, yearning for education, and search for good mentorship somewhere else. You will not find anything of value at this institution.Awful staff, such as Rose Cory and Jennifer Alexander. I’ve tried to go about seeking help with admissions and the only help I’ve received is from an actual professor. Rose Cory works in admissions and completely blew off our zoom meeting, later contacting saying another meeting went late but couldn’t even have the courtesy to send me a message prior to our meeting letting me know she wouldn’t be there. Jennifer Alexander is just pathetic and doesn’t do the job she’s listed to do on the schools website. I doubt I will continue to give this institution any more thought for enrollment. Absolute trash faculty.

Currently I'm working on central campus, but overall it's a good school with a lot with in walking distance

BEAUTIFUL campus. I love every second here! So many amazing activities and extra curricular activities to get involved in over 2000! The professors are fantastic here too you can EASILY tell everyone has well over 10+ years of upper level experience. The students here… INSANELY nice as an introvert I can walk up to anyone and they’re super friendly and helpful. Biggest alumni group. HUGE school spirit even on the streets people all rep UofM. It’s a whole new loving world here. Night life is everywhere with good to high end restaurants. The roads are all proper especially for Michigan weather. Alumni donates heavily to this school. The city works with UofM to help them expand.. it’s like the whole area is family it’s incredible!I legitimately can’t say a single negative and I am a commuter except I just wish I could drive less haha. So many parking structures lol it’s only a few minute walk. The M bus is accurate too.Put it like this… if you get accepted to The University of Michigan.. after doing research and or visiting campus you will be going to The University of Michigan.10/10 this is coming from someone who’s attended multiple universities including the Dearborn campus. NOTHING touches this University.

I had a dentist graduate from the University of Michigan who destroyed my teeth, oral health, eye, and maxilla. I don't recommend this university based on a graduate student from this university.

The best of college football. Had the priveledge of being almond vendor there with an old friend a few yrs back.

I'm an alum, and it was the worst 4 years of my life. The faculty do not care about your success and there is almost no student life, unless you have wealthy parents.

My experience as a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has been nothing short of amazing! The campus is not only stunning but also buzzing with energy. The professors are world-class, and the wide range of academic programs ensures there's something for everyone. The resources available, from the libraries to research opportunities, are unparalleled. What truly stands out, though, is the sense of community and school spirit. Whether it's cheering for the Wolverines at the Big House or collaborating with fellow students on projects, being part of UMich is an unforgettable journey. I'm proud to call myself a Michigan student, and it's a definite five-star institution!

This place is really the best hospital in MI... Been there a lot, unfortunately. I'm 34 now but I had a stroke at 32, and they took real good care of me!

Public school? Hardly. You don't get kicked out of public schools for not paying. No, it's a publicly funded PRIVATE school. What's a word related to "private" kids? That's right. It's PRIVILEGE.

University of Michigan - what a beautiful campus - historical buildings - for a European Person funny to Read the following rule..no physicial signs of attraction allowed...crazy 😉

I grew up in Ann Arbor. U of M is a fun campus to explore, learn and experience. Come on gameday and explore the campus Sunday. Lots of history made here.

Beautiful architecture. Visit in the summer for great views

This is a gem of a park with tons of wild life and great places to walk your dog and hang out and BBQ. I would say, though, that once it gets closer to sunset, please make sure to wear bug spray and you are near water. Sunsets themselves are gorgeous! I highly recommend checking this park out. Excellent nature retreat in Metro Detroit. Also, you need a Metro Parks pass to get in or pay the daily admission fee. I recommend getting the pass!!

The red trail was so awesome! There is so much wildlife to see.Many birds ate birdseed right from my hand, which was an awesome experience. The restroom was nice too. It's a building, not a Porta potty.I highly recommend this place.And, in some spots, the mosquitoes & flies were a bit annoying, but other than that, they weren't that bad.

What an amazing experience! I love two hours away and have been telling literally everybody about this place. The staff was so sweet and helpful. They seemed to really enjoy their job. We spent most of our time hiking in the nature center. I think the only suggestion I would have, is to offer a place to buy bird seed on sure for those who forget it. It would also help control what seeds are introduced to the environment.We paused at the splash pad (not worth it for us as my two just wanted to go to the lake which was free.) We spent more time at the lake.

This is my number one favorite Metropark.During summer there are lots of fun activities for kids and adults.You can also visit the farm area.There are many spots for picnic, some by the water and some not.The beach is also really nice in summer time and it gets crowded during weekends.Fall is a whole different story here, you would see many many different colors.If you’re planning to take good fall pictures I do recommend to go here.

It is very beautiful park to see fall color. The park is very well maintained. The sign is marked clearly. I like the most is feeding birds. Definitely a five stars.

I live on the bike trail, right next to island lake state park and Kenaington Metro. I go there most every day, twice today. And have for 10 years now. Yes, you can say I love it hereThe birds, the water the bike path. The everything. is nice.

Kensington Metropark is a beautiful park located in Milford, Michigan. It is home to a variety of activities and amenities, making it a great place to spend a day with family and friends.We enjoyed the nature trails so many birds, chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits. Some birds came very close to us and we enjoyed seeing them so close up. The boardwalk near the nature center is a good place to spot fish and we saw a huge prehistoric looking turtle. This was a nice place to visit.

Always a great place to go for a little nature. The park is always clean and there's a variety of trails and wildlife to enjoy. It's a great place for a picnic and outdoor parties, as well as kayaking or fishing. There's also the nature center with some cool stuff for kids and adults.I highly recommend Kensington for anyone looking for an easy getaway to recharge from life.

I enjoy visiting Kensington Metropark as much as possible no matter the season. Feeding the many wild birds from the palm of my hand is the highlight of my visit. Many different birds may be encountered, as well as deer, turtles, and chipmunks. The Farm is always a joy to visit and pet the goats. If you get a chance right now, you may go down the sledding hills, cross country skiing and hike the paths. A place I recommend visiting anytime of the year.

Great park. Some reviews knock on the fireworks event, but when I went a few years ago it went fine. The disc golf courses are nice and challenging, and do require an extra fee most of the time. Good for hiking and biking. Nice for fall colors as well.

Great place for taking wildlife photos! Some of the bird species you’ll see are sandhill cranes, geese, red-winged blackbirds, wild turkey, herons, and swans. Check with your local library regarding free daily passes. This park has something for everyone: a farm, beaches, kayaking, bird watching, places to bbq, bike trails, and more!

Kensington Metropark is an absolute gem for nature lovers! The park's vast 4,481 acres offer a wide range of recreational activities and breathtaking scenery. Whether you're into hiking, biking, picnicking, swimming, or fishing, there's something for everyone here. The well-maintained trails and serene lakes create the perfect setting for a relaxing day outdoors.I was particularly impressed with the variety of wildlife and birdwatching opportunities the park has to offer. It's a paradise for bird enthusiasts, and I spotted numerous species during my visit. The Nature Center is also worth a visit, providing informative exhibits and educational programs.If you're bringing the family, the Splash 'n' Blast water park is a fantastic spot for kids to cool off during hot summer days. Additionally, the farm center is a hit with children, allowing them to interact with farm animals and learn about agriculture.The only minor drawback I encountered was the occasional crowds, especially on weekends and holidays, but it's understandable given the park's popularity. Overall, Kensington Metropark is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a day of outdoor adventure and natural beauty.

I have been going to Kensington Park since high school. Now I take the grandchildren. The Park is always evolving and improving for the enjoyment of it's patrons. There is a beautiful, peaceful lake for boating, fishing and swimming, with very nice beaches. They have a children's splash park at one of the beaches and an amazing play scape with a padded ground below it at another. Lots of pavilions and picnic areas/tables throughout the park. Plenty of trails for hiking, jogging and biking. My favorites are the petting farm and nature center. Kensington is a great place to unwind, relax and connect yourself to nature.

Beautiful metropark to run, walk, bike, fish, kayak and more. An 8.5 mile paved path with add-on trails circles Kent Lake along with multiple fishing docks at the west boat launch parking area. Deer, sand cranes, turkeys, ospreys and eagles can also be spotted here. Great place to get outdoors all year long.

Love this park! Tons of stuff from disc golf to horse riding and amazing bike paths abound. Beaches are packed in the summer, but you can find some hidden spots if you look. Fishing for anglers, paddle boats for the couples, nature center for activities and learning. One of the biggest disc golf events of the year is held at the toboggan hills. Great place to see eagles, cranes, deer, turtles, etc. $10/day and I think $55 for the year. Well worth it. Gotta check out Holdens on Milford rd for amazing food, beer pop and water, disc golf discs, fishing gear, and snacks galore.

I grew up always going to this park now I get to take my own kids there!!!! This place is great for a 2 year old and this place is great for my 15 year old and this place is great fore and my husband because we love to hike and swim with our children.

Kensingron is a beautiful, hurge park with many options for things to do. We go mostly to bike ride. The trails are really well maintained. There are mostly small hills, but there is one big one. There are always deer, sand hill cranes, swans, and other birds and wildlife to check out while we are riding.

Love the trails to bike and hike. Don't forget your helmet. Lakes and scenery are amazing, as are the leaves right now in October.Fun on the lake and BBQ in the warm months. And the animal farm is awesome for kids and adults.

Love to come here to watch birds! It's a mix of ponds, woods, and open areas. The park also has a small farm, beaches, fishing, and boating opportunities. Ride a bike in the summer, toboggan in the winter.

Beautiful park with a wonderful 8.5 loop for walkers, runners, or bikers. Nice bathrooms and boat launch for fishermen.

If you can look at a map on their website that is the best view of what the park is like. Basically it goes in a circle around the lake. I think they said the bike trail around it was 8 miles. This place is so amazing, where do I start? It has everything you could ever want in a park all in one place. It cost the car $10 to get in for the day so super cheap. If you want to do the two water slides and splash pad that cost $7 a person. Adults have to pay as well. But it is still pretty cheap if you consider how much it cost to go to a water park for the day. We have not seen everything here, they have horseback riding and a farm petting area. There is a nature center and some trails you can walk on. The birds are very friendly. There are two beaches that have not seemed crowded when we have gone yet. I'm sure they're more busy over the weekend . The playgrounds are just phenomenal. There is a lot of newer and unique looking equipment. We have a 2-hour drive to get here so our plan is we first go to the trails and nature center. Then we eat our picnic by the water. Then we go to the beach and water activities. We enjoyed coming here so much that we will be planning on attending multiple times every summer. We love this place so much!

Bucket list made! Hand-feeding birds and chipmunks, and seeing sandhill cranes up close was this bird nerd's dream trip! I made the 500 mile drive from Iowa and can't wait to visit again. This park is beautiful and well maintained.

It can be a busy place on the weekend, but it’s a huge park with lots to do. Bird watching is fabulous and they eat right out of your hand (so do the chipmunks!) be prepared to drive around to the separate areas (farm, nature center, playground/beach area, splash and blast water park).

This is one of my favorite parks with miles of hiking and bicycling trails, boat and kayak rentals, and sometimes an amazing Art Fair. Did I forget the beaches? Yes, and there are lots of Picknick tables and BBQ options.

Went to Kensington Metropark and it is fantastic! We visited the Nature Center and then took a 5 mile walk along the lake and went swimming. It is a very beautiful and vast park with many attractions and amenities. We greatly enjoyed our visit and will be back soon. Many thanks to the great people working at Kensington Metropark!

Kensington is always a great stop for our son as well as the adults. We enjoy the Farm center seeing the goats playing, wild turkeys in the background. Constant wildlife to enjoy and many areas to check out, even the Nature center and it'd surrounding area always has multiple trails, viewing areas, wild animals almost at your fingertips.

Magical green sanctuary where patience and peanuts will get you birds eating out of your hand! Sand hill cranes, turkeys, grey - red - brown squirrels, and chipmunks are all around to see! DO NOT HAND FEED raccoons - seems harmless, but puts you at risk for baylisascaris, a roundworm that goes to your brain - there is no effective treatment; raccoons excrete the eggs, which wind up on their fur and paws, and these are passed along to you, if you touch them. Stay safe!

Such a beautiful place to walk or go for a run! I did the loop around the lake with some nice hills and it was clearly marked with amazing views!

Lots to do! I enjoy the nature walking trails, the hilly 8 mile bicycle loop, renting kayaks, and going to the beach.I highly recommend doing the ferry boat tour of the lake, located next to the kayak rental. You will likely see bald eagles on this tour - I did. I also like the nature center.A great place for a beach day or a picnic.$10 entry. Lots of parking and restrooms in the park.

Large park with plenty of options for recreation & viewing nature. I'm involved with the running community as a journalist & over the years there has been lots of races here. That's what I was doing this time, photographing Breakthrough for Brain Tumors 5k.

Went for the Holi celebrations organized by Shiznay, and it led me to discover this beautiful park. You can easily spend a day here with the walking trails, kayaking, picnicking, and cycling.

Expansive wooded park. Large lake system. Good fishing. Boats, paddleboat and canoes for rent. Launch facility. Paved Bicycle/walking/running pathways. Petting zoo. Nature museum. Breakfast restaurant. Playgrounds. Water Park. Chipmunks, Turkeys. Critters. Entry fee or yearly pass. Something for everyone!

We always love Kensington metro park despite the season. There’s always something to do. The petting farm and hayrides are a must see if you have kids. Plenty of restrooms and a farmhouse grille for any cravings. Must visit family place.

Spent three hours here and even though it was cold and drizzly, my kids and I didn't want to leave. Fed so many different types of birds right out of our hands. I recommend bringing your own unsalted peanuts/sunflower seeds or birdseed.

We've been visiting the nature trails lately and feeding the birds. This is a fun family activity, and the trails are nice. Kensington is such a beautiful park, and there's so much to do. We really enjoy our adventures there!

We were in the area for a regatta. The park is beautiful however you can't ask directions at the gate and you can't exit the park and come back in the same day without buying the yearly pass. I don't mind paying to park but I wasn't a fan of the situation. Also the water to the restrooms and fountains were not turned on and accessible. How are you going to invite 10,000 people to your park and not have flushable toilets.

Truly a massive outlet mall with a large variety of shops for all sorts of needs. It was really spacious and felt like you can walk around for a long time. The shops all had really good deals going on and worth visiting especially if you’re coming from outside Michigan for a shopping spree.

Great mall, good variety of stores. Many food vendors and nice restaurants. Has lego land, aquarium, peppy pig and rain forest Cafe. You need to reserve those before going.

A good mall with lots of outlets. Company outlets with good deals on clothing, shoes, travel, accessories etc. the bonus - LEGO experience centre for kids. Food court needs more variety though.Kids strollers/Shopping carts available for rent T 5/10$.One quick advice to all - don’t use the kiosks to buy the soda/pops, they do not dispense after you pay, perhaps mgt should look into it. I lost money many times on them.

This is a beautiful place. Large stores. The store fronts have nice displays. You can find whatever you need. Including a food court. Hours are 11:am to 9:pm.

It's a wonderful place to go..not counting all the stores and restaurants and the fact it has 2 attractions sea life and Legoland in it. both of them places was really fun my grand kids had a blast. but in the middle of the mall they have a big play area for the kids and its free.👍👍

It is a wow experience as always. Very nice place for shopping, good deals, to spend a day

Great Lakes, Great Outlets, Great discount. A place where you get all branded things with great discounts. You at least need 2 days to completely look into this huge mall.

One of the best Malls in metro Detroit. People travel from out of town to shop here. Great Lakes Crossing is well maintained and a great destination especially in the winter months when you are looking for a place to get away from the snow. The food court offers a variety of options for dining. Additionally the multiplex theater offers another venue for entertainment.

I had an amazing experience at Great Lakes Crossing! The variety of stores, dining options, and entertainment make it a perfect destination for a day out. The mall is clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate, with plenty of parking available. My family and I especially enjoyed the unique attractions like SEA LIFE Aquarium and LEGOLAND. The staff at each location were friendly and helpful, making our visit even more enjoyable. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or looking for fun activities, Great Lakes Crossing has something for everyone. Highly recommend!

Full days worth of fun activities! Aquarium, lego land, shopping, a carousel, huge kids play area, nice food court, ETC! Very family friendly and worth the drive!

Last week on Saturday, I been waiting for 7 years to come back to the mall I luv, and in fact, me and my fellas had a get together to hang each other to have a great time and soon, we love to hang the mall time and time again. 😃😃😃

One of the best outlets malls to get deals at. They have a movie theatre, legoland, a good amount of restaurants around, and plenty of very good stores. A must visit place if you are visit east Michigan area.

This outlet mall have most of the name brands here. Like Nike, Ecco, Foot Locker and much more. If you are willing to work and search high and low you can find some good quality products that’s deep discounted.

Too busy, not enough cashiers at stores. Lineups inside were sometimes 20+ minutes. A lot of selection but you really have to search for good deals. Not that many outlet stores, just brand name retail.

The shopping was good, we got great deals, but they don't have any control of traffic. It's Black Friday; they were supposed to know they would be busy and traffic would occur. We are waiting about 3 hours to get out of the parking area. (Edit) A car caught fire, and we are still stuck for 5 hours! (Edit) Seven hours total, I'm sorry, but no more Black Friday in this place.

It’s a beautiful mall! Very big and “Michigan Largest Outlet Center” is a quite living up to its name. It is our first time visiting this mall.Lots of big brand store and other store that are located in this mall. Surprisingly, there is an aquarium located within the mall as well bowling alley if you want to take a break. There’s is a lot of different activities inside. Aesthetically the mall has different theme as you move on different zone.I live layout of the mall as well, it allows you to go in one direction and very fluid. This means you can visit all the store without going back and forth. There’s a lot of parking space, it didn’t take us that long to find one. Unless it was already late by the we got there. Speaking of time, you’re going to need almost half of your day if you want to visit store and find a good deal. Make sure you give yourself that amount time.I will be back to this mall whenever we visit Michigan again!

American malls are dead... EXCEPT THIS ONE! I couldn't believe how PACKED this mall was! But they definitely are doing it right. They have improved upon the in person shopping by adding in plenty of experiences. The Rainforest Cafe is stimulating. The aquarium and lego world are engaging. All of this plus a bustling food court offer families a full day of entertainment! Well done!

So many amazing shops with great dealsThere are many activities shop available, cafes are there, also lots of food options if you are tired walking.The jungle theme Cafe named rainforest cafe super amazing, I would recommend visiting over there, Also they have bass pro shop really good one have lot of variety of items to buy and also shop is made to attract people have waterfall, fishpond etc in the shop to make it beautiful

Great place to shop and do for all agesCould have more food choices at the food court, but great Clean very friendly mall to shop and play eat

Went there before thanksgiving. Very crowded, many stores have to queue up from about 10AM. Sales clerk are not in good mode. Will come during light season next time, definately not thanksgiving time anymore.

We had such a great time at SeaLife with the family. After, we walked around the beautiful and clean mall, I loved it. It's a nice place to walk around and get out of the house.

A huge mall with various choices, may take the whole day to walk around and take a thorough look at every shop, but if you know what you want to buy, it’ll just take half a day. I came here first time on a weekday, so the parking lot was rather empty. The shops were easy to navigate; you just go straight from any entrance and there would be the number of “district” for your reference. The food court has some decent options but I wish there were more. The bowling/arcade game space is a fun stop for families. Other than that, there were not many differences in terms of deals or varieties of items (you can find the same in any TJMaxx, Marshalls, Macy’s, etc.)

Nice, clean mall that reminds me of Vaughan Mills in Toronto. It has a nice play area in the food court for little children that can give them a break. I'm not sure if we were really tired but it seems like the bathrooms were very far apart. Good selection of stores, otherwise.

1st time to this amzaed place.. There are so many stores. It was great to see people out and shopping and not ordering online. Food court has many options to pick from. They even have an aquarium to visit.

Schon in die Jahre gekommene Mall, das ein oder andere Schnäppchen gibt es aber sicherlich. Besonders bei Victorias Secrets. Ansonsten gibt es natürlich einen Foodcourt mit einer Spiel area für Kinder bis ca 6 Jahre. Man kann sich als Eltern hier gut hin setzen und einen Kaffee trinken während man die kleinen beim spielen gut beobachten kann. Außerdem gibt es ein Seaworld und eine LEGO Welt. Diese kosten aber extra Eintritt. Alles in allem ist es ein Lohnender, fast schon nostalgischer Besuch.(Translated by Google)The mall is already getting on in years, but there are certainly some bargains to be had. Especially at Victoria's Secrets. Otherwise, there is of course a food court with a play area for children up to around 6 years old. As a parent, you can sit down here and drink a coffee while you can watch the little ones play. There is also a Seaworld and a LEGO World. However, these cost extra entry. All in all, it is a worthwhile, almost nostalgic visit.

Yes a very spacious and enchanting shopping outlet of all major brands . So nicely organized and looks to be a favorite shopping center for people in about 50 miles radius ! Garments, footwears, jewelleries, electronics, toys , sportswears of every popular and not so popular brands can be found .One must plan this visit as even a day is not enough to take stock of availability of the things . Excellent play area for children and nice food court

Big variety of shops under 1 roof. Lots of bargains. Nicely laid out food court with entertainment for the whole family. Found a halaal takeaway shop also which was a bonus.

Love coming down here for some great deals on clothing and sneakers from the outlet stores. There is always some kind of clearance and sale going on so never disappointed. Food court has decent food to offer for affordable price. Plenty of parking available. Wish they had electric charging stations for EVs.

A great shopping experience waits for you at Great Lakes Crossing! Lots of stores to choose from and a variety of restaurants as well! Lots of parking in a busy, well lit lot! Easily found and seen from the road, easy in and easy out!

We love this mall! There's LOTS to do for families, young and old. We loved Legoland, the Cafe and the Aquarium.

We loved it. We went on a day that was sponsored so there were more activities going on in addition to normal business. Everything ran smoothly & it was tons of fun. We'll definitely be returning for another train ride ❤️

What a delightful stop if you enjoy historical villages. The local towns have preserved many historic buildings by having them relocated to this county park. The buildings are often staffed with individuals who obviously love what they do and are happy to share their knowledge with you. We enjoyed the steam train ride as well as learning how apple juice/cider was made.

This is a very fun place to visit if you enjoy Christmas themed activities and/or Christmas lights.This is not an expensive activity. You can tour the crossroads village at no charge, and the 45ish minute train ride is just over $20.00 per ticket. I loved the train ride - the cars are old fashioned and cozy, the light displays were well.done and included a few live actors, and the conductor was really nice.There is a Christmas play that is shown regularly inside the theatre house. There is a buffet style restaurant - I had already eaten but it looked nice. There were other snacks for sale elsewhere in the village - popcorn and almonds and coffee etc. Plenty of bathrooms, lots of cool authentic old buildings to check out - there's even a tractor towed trailer that towed people around the village or you can walk it. I loved the lights, really well done.

Attended “Day out with Thomas” yesterday and had an awesome time! First time visiting Crossroads Village and was impressed with all the different sites to see, along with fun rides for the kids. Our 2 year old loved the train ride with Thomas. We were very impressed with all the Thomas activities set up throughout the village for kids to do. A great experience and we will likely come back each year for this event!Would recommend as a fun day event for others to experience!

Enjoyed an afternoon here with my 2-year-old! The train ride was relaxing and fun, along with having a walk around the grounds. Beyond excellent customer service all around, especially from Tanner (train staff) and Mr. Tim who were so personable and kind. I'd recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks as options are extremely limited at the café (hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, chips). The broom-making young lady was exceptionally talented and so knowledgeable. We look forward to going again for the (very fast!!!) merry-go-round.

A favorite family destination for generations. The people are very friendly, the train ride is pleasant, and the carousel and Ferris wheel are surprisingly fast and fun.

We went for the day out with thomas. We had a lot of fun. They also had a color event going on. We had fun searching, but was difficult to use phone to keep search list and take photos. (Wish the scavenger hunt had a hard copy) everyone was so friendly. And so much could do.

We bought 11am tickets for the train and got there at 10am when it opened. We had a fun time visiting each historical building and hearing about the history and lives of the people who used to live in some of the homes. It was very educational and entertaining. The train ride was great, we saw a few deer along the way! Everyone there was very helpful and friendly! If we weren't from Florida, this would probably be a regular fun spot for us. The fast carousel was a blast. And the magic show was entertaining and funny! We love the time we spent there and would recommend it for any family wanting to spend a half day doing something outdoors.

Good place to take kids for Xmas lighting & train ride. Train ride is around 35 mins to & fro where you can see lights display on both sides. Village itself is small place to find how people lived 100 years ago with open houses, school, blacksmith shop etc. A carousel is fun for everyone. Overall it’s fun place to hang around for 3-4 hours. It’s in the middle of nowhere as everything is brought here from somewhere else.

I would give this place 5 stars 100% because it really was a great experience. My only issue during my whole visit was that one of the workers during the magic show was dressed up as a native American which heavily offended me and my family. Our culture is NOT a costume. Besides this mishap here are some of the highlight moments we experienced today. Trick or treating was a blast. All the workers passing out the candy were enthusiastic and patient. The train ride was an absolute joy. We sat in the back and the tour guid was so sweet and kind and the view was spectacular. The rides were really cool. The fact that buying the toys out front meant contributing to keeping the rides up made us buy extra and in general the prices were really fair. And the entire town was very clean. This is something I would recommend for any family or couple or anyone in general.

This was an amazing experience. We did the train ride and then had dinner. The train is train is pulled by a steam engine and there were Christmas displays on both sides of the track. The meal we had was very good and the village takes you back in time and was beautifully decorated. Lots of fun things for children. We would definitely go there again. Totally loved it.

We went during the Day Out With Thomas event. We had a great time with the scavenger hunt, Thomas gift shop and many Thomas themed activities.

It's amazing this place is still operating and maintained as well as it is! The rides are $1.50 to ride. The Ferris wheel is from 1910 and in spite of its tired squeaks, at 10mph, it feels surprisingly fast and fun. The carousel is also from 1910, operational and beautiful. There are no more animals since the pandemic, but plenty of restrooms, a candy store where for $2.00 kids can stuff a small brown bag to the brim. Staff said one boy managed to stuff over 60 pieces strategically for his $2.00 candy bag! Impressive. You can get a burger, hot dog and ice cream or walk through some of the historic shops and get a little history from theme dressed staff. The train ride is 40min., a separate fee I can't recall, but a family must. Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad are open all summer, for Halloween and Christmas.

What a fabulous place! We happened to spot a sign and decided to check it out because my kid loves trains. This is SO much more! The old time buildings and demos were amazing. We could have spent a lot longer here if we had the time! Didn't even get to ride the RR but I hear that's a highlight!

We went for the holiday train ride and it was absolutely wonderful! The sun set during our ride and the lights were even more magical on the return trip. The whole village was lit up, it was stunning!!! Found lots of cool gifts for loved ones and learned a lot. A great place for kids and adults alike!!!

It is such a great place to relax and enjoy how we lived years ago. After looking at some of the old buildings, we boarded the train. But there was a special train there that day, Thomas the The tank engine was there. My son loves everything to do with trains and Thomas. We happened to get into the oldest train cars they had from the 1800s. The ride was about 40 mins. Please visit the town and learn all about history. Lots of activities to do.

An excellent little gem hidden within the Flint area! Interesting little piece of Michigan history with a real working railroad! Lots of walking and sightseeing, great for groups or people trying to get out and enjoy the outdoors!

A wonderful place to visit, especially at Halloween or Christmas! My family visits Crossroads Village every year for the holidays. The ghosts and goodies event lets you trick or treat your way around the many buildings and it's fun to see all the decorations. My kids love the train rides. The tickets for Halloween and Christmas trains sell out fast so definitely purchase those in advance. Otherwise tickets are easy enough to buy at the gate. During Christmas the lights are brilliant to see while strolling around the village. We love the cinnamon almonds and the popcorn at Christmas. The carousel is also fun and it goes really fast so my kids love to ride it. The Ferris wheel is another great option if the weather is nice.

It was " TOUCH A TRUCK WEEKEND here..~ Awesome event... This place has Candy-Ice Cream and all kinds of things for the Kids to do..I believe the Train Rides are $12 per person.. A Great place to take the kids..If you haven't been, it's a MUST go and See.. HAVE FUN..😉❤️

Went for Halloween 🎃 trick and treats! I have been here several other times but like it better during the holidays. The village was all decked out with spooky decorations. The opera house had a magician 🎩 show. A maze made from stacked straw bails was in the center of the village. There's a carousel and ferris wheel 🎡 ($1.50 each to ride). 20 stops for treats ending with cider and donuts. The train ride is about 40 minutes long filled with lights and decorations. Highly recommend 💚💯💯🎃🎩🎡🚂

My husband and I went here for Halloween and now Christmas as well. This place is really amazing. I don't think I appreciated it enough when I was younger. On Halloween, they encourage everyone to trick or treat, even adults, which I thought was so cool. Halloween is my absolute favorite. The lights and displays on both Halloween and Christmas were phenomenal. It is worth every penny and I very much enjoyed myself.

Great time with my granddaughter here. You must do the train too! If you like stepping back in time,as I do, you'll love visiting the town & townspeople! The train ride is a little pricey but it's a long ride & worth it. Visit the carousel 🎠, & see the magic show...

Cute little historical village. There are wooden walkways but you need to be prepared for mud if it is rainy. Holiday show a little cheesy but works for younger kids with a few good dad jokes to keep adults interested. Cafe ran out of food by 715 pm. Workers very knowledgeable and are appropriately informative. Lights are wonderful in village. Historical train fun but could use a little more lights, a little more fun facts and a little more engaging to audience. Kids under 6 easily find it boring between lights. Carousel Ride pretty fast.

I've been coming here since I was a kid in the 70s - since my grandfather grew up nearby. I brought my kids here for the Christmas train when they were small and now it's even better as an adult with no kids in tow. Speaking of kids, if you're hoping for a more quiet evening try to avoid Friday or Satruday. We also enjoy the sweet little buffet for dinner! Great fun and so educational.

Very good historical village. The people at each building were informed about the history and went out of their way to get more questions answered. The carousel was a lot of fun (and, as claimed quite a fast ride. Certainly take the train ride too, check out the coaches at the front of the train, we had the 1st car all to ourselves.

A fun place to visit with unique character and charm. If you’ve ever been to Greenfield Village, you’ll feel right at home. While significantly smaller than GFV, the concept is the same.Limited food options, smaller size, and similar prices to GFV may make you think twice about comparing the two, but I recommend that you visit at least once.Children will find it entertaining, and the train ride is nice long journey.

This was my first time here. I always did want to go as a kid and just never got the chance. I had so much fun :) the food, the sights, sounds, the train was amazing!! I'd do it all again every year, multiple times a year for many years to come!!!

Love this place. We have gone here almost every year since the kids were little. The train ride is super fun and telhr village trick or treating is great. We love the somewhat old sketchy rides. The carousel is the fastest I have ever seen and the Ferris wheel is nuts. Definitely worth the drive and visit.

Such a cute place! The train ride was a fun experience for my kids. The shops were pretty neat. I wish the candy store had a more vintage vibe to it to match the rest of the place. I was disappointed that their "fill a bag for $2" had expired candy to choose from. I didn't realize it til later so I wasn't able to address it at the time of purchase. The ice-cream place was yum but they were out of a lot of flavors.Overall the place was a nice experience. I especially liked the blacksmith area.

Great place for a nice trip and lots of information for kids to learn about, they had nice shows to attend and very interesting houses to visit. The staff were very nice and helpful and they loved sharing information about the place.

This is a great place to take the family. There is a lot to see and do. Many small shops take you back into the era of 1833-1950's so you can see how life was back in those times. The train ride is a great experience as well especially during holidays (Christmas, Halloween, etc.).

Great little place to stop and shop while you're in Frankenmuth. Lots of options to pop in and look around. There's an arcade to keep the kids occupied for a while and you're steps away from some good restaurant choices on the main drag. It's a pet friendly area as well. They gave a spot near the middle to let them do their business too.

I lived in Germany for 3 years & I will say this, I give at least a B+ for authenticity, at least appearance wise. I found hardly any German goods here. It’s your standard tourist gimmicky area with stocked to the brim. I believe it’s one of the nicest with great landscapes & open play spaces. As In the famous words of Darth Vader, “Impressive!”

They have alot of cool things to look at and shop. My favorite was this place you can try hot sauce and BBQ sauces in weird flavors.Water is $2 in there so maybe bring your own. They have an arcade, book store, blacksmith experience, pet stores, candy, and fudge shops. It was definitely worth going highly recommend.

Frankenmuth River Place is a great place to spend a relaxing day with friends and family. There are plenty of food options on site or very close by. The shops are varied and interesting to browse. I loved the honey and tea shop, the samples were amazing. And definitely make a stop at the beignet shop. Delicious!

Very taste place. Samples of honey, oils, vinegar and maple syrup. Tea was only available to smell in jars. The smell and taste should resemble each other. Per the owner. We purchased a sampler box with a honey and a couple different teas. Can't wait to try the tea. One of many places to experice in this quaint little town.

This place is so charming, and feels like a mini town all on its own. It is beautifully landscaped, with photo opportunities everywhere. From 5-9 everyday, there is a free shuttle bus that runs continously from Bavarian Inn Hotel, to River Place Shops, to the Bavarian Inn Restaurant.The shopping is great and this is also where you'd catch a ride on the ferry padded boat.I live this place !

The shopping center has a wide variety of stores offering various items. The layout of the center is convenient and easy to navigate, making it a pleasant shopping experience. The staff at the stores were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. Additionally, the beautiful river views from the shopping center added a touch of charm to the whole experience.

Such a great cluster of shops.A great way to spend a few hours of your day.Be sure to try the crepes. Sweet or Savory. You can’t go wrong!

The area is well landscaped,, clean, and maintained. There are 20+ shops, all unique to included medieval, Irish, chocolates and fudge, children's ware, and food. In every shop that we visited the staff were courteous, helpful, and friendly.

Amazing German city feel. Must try famous chicken place(which we didn’t fry but it is famous). Nice shopping place, Year long Christmas party, fun sunflower festival. Great brewery especially for German beers.

Hidden Gem! Nice place to hang out with friends and family. Mist visit nearby gaint Xmas store.Many restaurants, coffe places and patio to enjoy. Super well decorated street with blooming flowers and traditional Europe style housing.

This is a beautiful Bavarian style shopping area with various specialty shops. Most of the stores that sell candy, chocolate, hot sauce or other food products offer some free samples. You can find a place to get an ice cream cone or coffee and enjoy walking around the area that is beautifully landscaped with shrubs, flowers, and water fountains.

Fabulous experience!!! There were so many nice shops to visit and the environment was absolutely beautiful. My family had a wonderful time and it was an absolute joy to experience Christiane's Exotic Parrotdise 😍 🦜

This shopping center is absolutely gorgeous! There is a little river and fountain and it’s an absolutely beautiful area with some beautiful shops, a riverboat and lots more!

This is my second time here, there’s always something about this little nice town that keeps me from coming back to it. Maybe it reminds me of every time I’ve been to Europe. Out first time back was couple years ago and it was summer but this time around we went during fall season and it’s a beautiful experience to see the colours of the leaf blends in with the vibrant colour of the shops around the area.This place has a bunch of store for you to walk around and get indulge with different kind of experiences. It is a dog friendly mall and you’re more than welcome to walk around and take pictures around it. There’s quite a bit of parking space here and perfect place to park as well if you’re planning to visit this little town.Overall, if your in Michigan and near Detroit area, I would definitely recommend visiting this area and explore. This little Germany town won’t disappoint you and you’ll be glad that you visited this!

Wonderful assortment of shops. Whether it’s souvenirs or a snack, there is plenty here to explore and find sorting you or someone you know will like.

It is the perfect one stop a shop that just came out of a cartoon or a movie. It was the perfect place when it was pouring outside.

A fun place to spend a few hours. So many great places to eat and you can find every kind of souvenir you could want.

Great way to spend a weekend afternoon. Fun little shops and lots of delicious food options. Plenty of outdoor seating.

It was a pleasant, sunny, wintery day at the shops. It's not too cold to shop outside from store to store. The village was nice and clean. Close to restrooms. Village shops were clean and interesting, had a great time in the bookstore. What a selection! also visited the blacksmith. Enjoyed the ladies clothing shop as well as picking up some treats for my dog. They were getting ready for an ice carving show and festival...hope it turned out good.

Visited for the first time from Texas. My picky teenage daughter loved it and said we HAVE to come back next summer and spend more time (and money) there. It was well worth it and will definitely be back. Be sure to give yourself at least 2-4 hours there.

If you think of it as resort pricing then many of the stores are priced right. It's a lot of very cool shops that are creatively laid out. Every shop I walked into was polite. They wanted to make sales but we're not pushy. Either you found something or you didn't if you knew what you were looking fir they would happily assist.There are goldfish in the water feature. Doing pretty well for March.

It is a MUST to stop by and explore the nearby/surrounding areas and shops. It was my family’s first time really exploring this area and there’s so many wonderful bakeries, souvenir/gift stores, and truly just a fun place to walk in! Love it & the Christmas air!!!

Lots of shops for nerds. Grab a hot chocolate and head to the gaming parlor or spend outdoors boating when it isn’t cold. Lovely lights that reminds you of christmas all year round

As I mentioned in the review with the Bavarian Inn, the shops are endless!! The people of the city are kind and welcoming. It is an amazing experience. The entire city has a certain charm and feel about it. Absolutely adored the theatrics!! It’s all within walking distance. They also have carriage rides. And as I have mentioned before in other reviews, the have live entertainment every evening!! I want to definitely suggest that you look into Frankenmuth Michigan as a future vacation/holiday!! You most certainly will be glad you did!!

We went to see the ice sculptures and the snow sculptures. Very busy place, have not seen any put traffic like that since I visited the Las Vegas Strip. There must have been 4 or 5,000 people in that town checking that Festival out when we were there. We got to see the river Ice Break while we were waiting to get out of town. That was something never saw that before in my life. Be prepared to walk a long ways as to find a parking place there is very difficult you'll be driving around a little bit to find one but you will. First time I ever been there it's pretty cool.

I enjoyed the shops very much. Cool gifts with a variety of options. Food and drinks are available as well. Wonderful walking area.

Not much color for a gardenThere is some great architecture with the bridges and canopy walks, but very little color and flowers for a garden. The canopy walk is very neat to explore with abstract art involved. You can walk over the glass corner or sprawl out over the nets. Be prepared to walk, this place is large and very spread out, so many sections to explore. Try to go on a weekday to beat the crowds.Disappointed that there are not more flowers. There are plenty of tulips, but those will not last all season, so be prepared for no flowers if you don't go in Spring.

What great way to spend the day! Beautiful place to visit and was not very busy at all for a Sunday. Posted as many photos as they'll let me for you to get an idea of what to expect. Definitely will be back in the fall to see all the colors and look forward to going with the best of friends again! Oh yeah almost forgot, if maintenance could fix the handicap door button on the building before the canopy walk, Breanna would appreciate it!

This was a great 1 mile walk through nice lights, but not many. Highlight was the reindeer.Wheel chairs on the path does not work. We had my mom in a chair and going over the grass as well as mulch and dirt was difficult needed 3 of us to manage the task. Great for family and not overwhelming for kids.

If you live in Midland, definitely worth signing up for the annual pass($20/person)! While a one-time ticket for adults is $10. One of the best places to visit in town for everyone! A lot of places for kids and my in-laws visiting us from India and they love it too. The garden is well maintained with clean facilities. Cannot wait to visit in the Fall 🍁

What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. I walked and enjoyed ponds, creeks, waterfalls, an array of foliage, bridges and a sky bridge. There is soo much to see. Great place to take kids. There is something for everyone. A park and splash pad for younger children, another park for any age and a sky bridge for older children. Gardens galore!

I went to these gardens for a wedding. Very peaceful to walk around in. A lot of little birds to see. Definitely go if you appreciate nature. Some areas are a little difficult to walk around but there are accessible paths most places

Beautiful place. Well maintained and very clean. It is a massive place, you can easily spend several hours here. I like the freedom to walk in the grass and explore but it was a little difficult keeping track of where we’ve been so we didn’t miss anything. We got over 20,000 steps in walking around but we had fun.

The Garden of Glass exhibit featuring Craig Smith of Lansing, Michigan was fantastic. The beautiful fall foliage and exquisite art work made the visit memorable.The exhibit drew a wide range of enthusiasts from family's with small children to wedding parties.Plan on spending 2 to 3 hours exploring all of the exhibits. There are many places to sit for a while to soak in all of the beauty. The exhibit ends soon, so get outside while the weather is pleasant.

Probably the most well known destination in Midland county and for a very good reason. Visit any time of the year, but especially in the Spring or Summer, and explore this gem. The sprawling grounds are manicured and maintained to a very high degree and there are points of interest everywhere. It's simply beautiful to walk through and , even though I've visited this place repeatedly, I always find something to ponder and gaze at that I somehow didn't see before. If you're a tree "enthusiast" ( like me) this is a destination not to be missed. Add to that a children - friendly play area, a large tropical indoor garden, a huge rose garden, water settings with pathway bridges, sculptures and endless perennial plants. And don't forget the adjacent Whiting Forest with its elevated pathway and another kid friendly play area. ( You can get on the elevated pathway from Dow Gardens. Just head for the Rose Garden area)Want more? Take a tour of the Dow mansion next door or the adjacent home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, which was also built for the Dow family.Prices are very reasonable for all these attractions.

One of the most peaceful places to visit within the state. The gardens are well-maintained and has plenty of nature trails and sights of see. I visited here in the summer years ago and just recently in the spring. There were many spring trees and flower blooms. I can’t wait to visit again next year!

It's amazing not only because of its size but on how well it has been keeping up, almost every inch is so well maintained, layers of matching height brilliant color landscape, weed-free everywhere -- I know how impossible it would be compared with my own tiny yards. Took me over 4 hours just to have a quick glimpse. For sure, the canopy walk was the highlight, it more like a huge backyard playset but at a huge grand scale.

This was such a beautiful place to visit. I would definitely go back. Not too expensive to get in, and parking is free. So clean and well maintained, you can tell a lot of love goes into the care of the gardens. We wish the Alden B Dow studio was open to the public but it was still very cool to see the outside of. Saw turtles sunning on a rock and the canopy walk was very fun. Definitely would be a good place to take kids as well.

My parents were married here in 1986! Beautiful grounds. Even the parking lot and entrances are adorned with flowers. Local history is also showcased here with the Dow family home located on the grounds. Beautifully maintained area that's been well preserved and upkept through the years, particularly with its related addition to nearby Whiting Forest.

Very nice. Have good walking shoes on. Very colorful landscape. Go when it's not to hot out.

Loved loved loved this place. Lots of space and fun things to look at. It was packed in the parking lot, but when we got inside it was so spacious you wouldn't have thought it was as busy as the parking lot showed.I did the suspended bridge through the forest, saw the rose gardens, enjoyed the conservatory and when I got hot from the sun and walking we sat at the concessions area and enjoyed some lemonade.Loved seeing all the beautiful plants and flowers. They do a fantastic job of keeping up on each area.

Must see place in my opinion. Can't wait to go back in the spring when everything is in bloom. The sky canopy was unbelievable, and my husband and I had so much fun in the hedge mazes. We wondered around four hours and are excited to go back again!

Decided to take a day trip with the wife to see some fall colors. It was both of our first time here, and we will be back!There is so much to explore, see, and do. The canopy walk was really cool. There are a few play areas for kids and some areas to have a nice picnic.If your looking for somewhere fun to explore outdoors for not a lot of money I highly reccomend Dow Gardens.

We spent over 4 hours walking around in this beautiful garden. It is very accessible to all. There is a really nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. You can also bring a picnic and eat throughout the gardens.

We loved walking around. It was very hot the day we went, so there were places to go in and cool off. Loved seeing all the scarecrows, and flowers, and people's reactions to the canopy stuff. It was fun and relaxing.

Absolutely beautiful! I looking at all the different flower gardens. The walking trails are really nice. Only thing missing was a restaurant they have cafe with sandwiches and chip but not full meals, went to a restaurant near by.

We enjoyed our first time here! It was a bit rainy but we made the most of it. We will definitely be back to enjoy the nature and the wildlife.

Trees and flowers are blooming and budding! Such a peaceful environment with beautiful views and trails! The playground was currently closed, but the children's garden was open!

This is a must see in MI! A beautifully landscaped property with a vast array of tree, plant and floral varieties. Much to see and do in the gardens, explore it all. The lans ape is accented but the architecture of the buildings and walkways and they seem to fit 5he theme of the area of exploration. The skywalk is wonderful and there are plenty of spaces and activities for children too. Nice gift shop with unique items. We saw the gardens in the spring and believe it would be beautiful in the fall. See for yourself.

Mesmerized by the lush green landscape, the cleanliness of the garden, the vegetation and habitat. Not pricey, adults $15 and kids 4-7 $5. One can easily spend 3-4 hours strolling inside. The cafe offers good quick eat items - ice creams, muffins, coffee, snacks - and is located just by the children’s playground. The Canopy walk is so awesome, totally enjoyed the time spent.

Highly recommend!! I took a solo trip to the Gardens and Canopy Walk today, and wow, amazing! The adult ticket is $10 (you can leave and come back the same day). I spent three hours there and didn't see it all! The cafe had good prices on drinks, snacks, and light food options. It was busy but they kept the line moving quickly.

This garden is just stunning. A beautiful place to do a photo shoot for sure. They have an area for kids to play and a food area. You can picnic as well, just bring a blanket. They have a tree hut with ropes that the kids just love. Lots of fun. You can expect to spend at least 3 hours here easily.

Took my family here my wife loves gardens it was enjoyable for the whole family an awesome sky bridge though the trees and many flowers, bushes, and trees to see! They also have a cafe on the far side to get some food and beverages they also have ice cream!

A wonderful fusion of contemporary design and nature. Dow Gardens is a stop one shouldn't miss as its’ simply breath taking. Its split up into traditional gardens, the estate (an impressive mid century design, the Alden B. Dow Home & Studio) , and the tree canopy walk. Each of them stands out on their own. Check out the pics. The suspended bridges are really cool. I think of it as Modern Ewok or Wokee housing area from Star Wars. 🤣

In loved of this place!Adults pay $15 toddlers pay $5We spent hours walking def bring a lunch good shoes sunscreen!We had the best time there with all the beautiful gardens, bridges, we couldn’t let the kids play in the playground area cause they were close at the moment but they loved the big bridges and ropes!They have a coffee shop where you can buy ice cream, coffee and other drinks and snacks.

Always enjoy going here! Beautiful canopy walk and the fall colors are a huge bonus at this time of the year. They're decorated for Halloween!

This place is crazy beautiful in the fall! I now need to go back in the spring to see the flowers, but definitely a must do during Michigan leaves peak season. The canopy walk was a bit challenging as I am afraid of height, but I still manages to do it with a few tears and a lot of support from my family. I was worth it.

This was first time visiting, and I will definitely go again. I loved seeing all the butterflies fluttering around in the butterfly greenhouse. There were many butterflies I've never seen in person before. It's nice to go in different seasons of the year. You get to see different things. There were some Lenten rose flowers in bloom, which only bloom around now, which were nice to discover. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The staff in the butterfly house were ready with any visitor questions.

Such a beautiful place! Had our wedding here on June 22nd by the willow! Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day! David was super helpful along the way and made sure that everything went smoothly from start to finish! Even with the heat we unfortunately had on our day we loved every moment and wouldn’t change a thing!

Really nice gardens. It took over 2 hours to walk around the whole property. It is basically divided into 2 sides, a forest area and the gardens. The gardens are somewhat unstructured and you need to be ready to wander all over the place to see all the plants. You don't really see many other people so it becomes a quiet, private walk.
