    This place was amazing to visit! They have a Thomas Dambo "The Troll that Hatched the Egg " display made out of wood . The educational atmosphere that is created is amazing for kids and adults of all ages! Highly recommend!

    If you enjoy bird watching, nature, and troll exhibit, this place is definitely worth visiting. We had a great time here looking at the exhibit.

    It's a nice peacefully area. There is a charge but this connects to a farm so I would assume it takes money to feed and care for all the animals. I grew up on a farm so that isn't something I would come to see. the forest and birds and flowers are more my thing. They put in troll statues that are huge and interesting. Its worth the visit but I think the cost is high unless you want to go to the farm. I totally get that all those animals need food and vet care. But lots of farms in Ohio so not sure that is something people are into seeing. Love the trolls ... several troll statues. They are amazing. Great to get in nature.

    Great place to spend a couple hours, esp on a hot day. The trees envelope the path and keep everything comfortable. Staff at center were welcoming and friendly. I loved that they took the time to explain the layout. As a first time visitor it was much appreciated! We read the story and proceeded down the trail to visit the trolls. It was a perfect day and Thomas Dambo is extraordinary with his craft. We enjoyed the park, the creek, the farm and the centers.

    What a fun little hike to see the giant Trolls! It's only about a 2.5 mile hike but well worth it if you are in the area?

    It was a rainy Sunday and my husband wanted to surprise me with an adventure. We walked up to the visitors center and the woman at the front desk asked us if we were there to see the trolls. "Trolls?" I thought, "What the hell?" I think it was twelve dollars a person to enter the park but after spending multiple hours walking the trails and exploring, I think it's worth it. The weather was dark & gloomy, damp and a bit rainy. Conditions were not ideal but that usually makes for the best adventures. We entered an open field and that's where we found our first troll. It was this beautiful, tall wooden structure towering over us almost ready to take flight. Finally understanding why my husband brought me here, a childhood excitement to find all the trolls took over me. We spent many hours walking the trails, wandering around the farm and of course, finding trolls.

    Such a treat for those craving a peaceful experience wandering around in the woods, surrounded by farm animals and the peaceful serenity of mother nature.

    I spent an afternoon here with my stepdaughter celebrating my birthday in July. We had an amazing time exploring the trails looking for the hidden trolls. She's 8 years old but still really enjoyed the atmosphere and adventure of looking for the installations. I couldn't believe how large these were, and it made hiking. Extra exciting! And unexpected surprise was the fairy garden which we both enjoyed a lot. It's a small loop with hidden "fairy" homes themed after animals native to Ohio. They give a worksheet for you to guess the animal each fairy house is representing. If you get them right, you win a prize! This was so much fun and I couldn't believe how creative these little homes were. After we hiked, we made sure to check out the farm as well. This is an inexpensive activity that is great for a whole family. We can't wait to go back next year!

    I had been looking forward to spending a few hours at this center for awhile now. Today with temps in the 70's, clear blue sky and leaves displaying their beauty turned out to be perfect! The staff was helpful and clearly explained how to get to each troll, we started at the center and walked. Paths are hiking trails but mostly clear and easy to manage. The trolls are a must see. The farm was fun to explore. The map was necessary as not every intersection is clearly marked. Choosing a weekday was a plus. Yes, there is an admission charge but knowing it helps nature makes it more than okay with me.

    We had a nice, albeit short, visit to this park today. Very nice visitors' center and well-marked trails. Particularly pretty on a beautiful fall day. A little crowded with the great weather, perhaps going to be one of the last pleasantly warm days before winter rolls in, but everyone was in fine spirits. Troll sculptures were the main attraction today and they did not disappoint. We will be back to visit them again in another season.

    Yes it is doable to see all 3 trolls and a nest in 1.5 hours despite the suggested 3... yes it is doable to do the trails in Birkenstocks. However if I had used my brain tennis shoes would have been better because there were some slippery muddy parts, and I wish I had left more time and not felt rushed and actually enjoyed the nature a bit more. I highly suggest getting the map from the desk when you check in, but honestly it was a bit hard to read so thank goodness the park had a 5k route posted and arrows posted to get to the 3 trolls. Over all a great stop, great nature meets art experience. Dog did great, child did great. Loved this excuse to stop in the middle of Ohio since I usually attempt to pass through without stopping.

    Went and visited the trolls on a perfect weathery day! I had never heard of this park before and was excited to find out they had the troll sculptures there. So many people I know in other cities were telling me about them and I was curious to see how large they were. The structures didn't disappoint. However, trying to find them was a little challenging. It would have been helpful if there were signs on the pathway that said, "This way to see this troll.." for all the trolls. I think we might have missed one of them. But regardless, they were very cool and the park itself was a good size to get around in less than 2.5hrs.

    This place is so freaking cool!! They give you a map and you walk the trails to see the "nest" where they are born and then find Baby Bibbi, Dad Bo and Mom Bodil. I'd recommend comfortable shoes and at least 2 hours if you walk the whole trail from start of Center to the Farm and back. Trails are marked and you have a map if you need it. This is through wooded area and not paved so it may be hard for some to walk it. You can start at the Center and see some of it, walk back and drive to the farm to see the rest without walking the 3 miles all at once.

    Did you know 2018 is the Year of the Bird??

My wife and I have been sending our daughter to her throughout the summer. The results are incredible. The Riley Academy is a hidden Gem, that is definitely a great investment for your family. This service has improved our daughters reading skills and made her excited about learning. I will also note that this is based in Cincinnati and we live in Columbus, so the sessions have all been virtual. Brittany has formed a great connection with our 5 year old, to the point where she looks forward to these daily sessions. If you are eager to keep your child ahead, and excited about learning I would highly recommend this service as a compliment to any school program. We did 5 days per week throughout the summer, and plan to do weekend sessions throughout the school year. These services have been a blessing during this pandemic. Definitely worth the money and investment. Our daughter has done sessions both on the iPad and on the computer. Thank-you Brittany & The Riley Academy!

    If you truly care about your child, do not send them here by any means. The school claims to be…read moreprofessional and well-structured, but that image is extremely misleading. While they advertise themselves as a full Islamic school, the reality is very different. The school is far too expensive for what it actually offers. In the middle school and high school buildings, the only subjects that seem to be taken seriously are Arabic and math. In Quran class, students are simply handed a Quran and are expected to already know how to read and memorize it, with little to no proper instruction or support. New students are not treated well, and there is little effort made to help them adjust or feel welcomed. This is not the Islamic learning environment they promote. Everything costs extra, the expectations are unreasonable, and the overall atmosphere can be emotionally draining. In general, the middle and high school environment can completely destroy a child's motivation and love for learning. It is not a healthy place for students during such important developmental years. That being said, the elementary school is a completely different story. The elementary program is actually excellent. They teach Quran reading properly, Arabic writing, and Islamic studies in a structured and supportive way. The environment is kind, safe, and nurturing, which is exactly what young children need. Teachers are more patient, and students are encouraged rather than pressured. I would strongly recommend this school only for elementary-aged children. However, the same recommendation does not apply to the middle or high school. Parents should seriously reconsider enrolling their older children here, as the quality of education and student care drops significantly after elementary school.

While they don't have an indoor restroom, I was grateful to find they had a very clean port-a-potty. Because that was the very first thing my toddler asked to do! This place is adorable! Their little house where you get your basket and then pay is so sweet!! There are chairs out front by beautiful flowers (talk about perfect for a picture). They provide small wooden baskets that hold two empty cardboard pints. The nice boy at the counter explained what was growing where and we were on our way! We came at a time where blackberries and raspberries were available. I have to say that things were pretty picked over on this particular day - while the bushes were decently loaded with berries, most of them were green. While I enjoyed the hunt this provided, my toddler eventually lost interest. Go figure. We ended up with one pint of blackberries. We visited the raspberry bushes, but there were literally only a handful left. They'd run out over the weekend, so that why we visited on a Wednesday. So make sure you check their facebook page or call ahead in case they close early.
