The bicycle seats are a bit uncomfortable; however he is removing them and putting in comfortable swivel seats after this season ends in October.

Fair Lane, Home of Clara & Henry Ford

As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home. The three ladies that lead our tour of the home shared many interesting details about the property, its restoration, and details of Clara and Henry's years at the estate. Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.

We chose the cave, butterfly house, and mini golf. The great thing about the pass is you don't have to do it all in the same day. You can come back in finish another. The first attraction we visited is the cave. Even though you have a pass you have to exchange it for a ticketed time to go into the cave. They lead tours often so you usually done have to wait long. This is located inside the gift shop. The cave was fun to see on a historical point but the cave itself has not been well preserved. I agree with many other reviews that depending on your guide it can make the experience okay or awesome. Ours was just okay. The butterfly house was our next pick. It is a greenhouse like structure and was filled with hundreds of butterflies. A cool experience if you have never done anything like it before. We cam back the following day to do mini golf. It is open later than the other attractions so you can come back in the evening when it's not busy and enjoy yourself. I loved how each hole had a fact about the war on the water. There is also a free car museum, food stand, and bathrooms available.

Sharing my experience with Duke Petting Farm to save you from having to go through the same thing…read more I was having a big cowboy themed party for my boys joint birthday party. So I thought how fun would it be to have a cowboy horse & a petting farm. I Talked with Deb before even booking the party to make sure all the kids would be able to ride the pony. At first I asked for a horse because most of the kids would be around 10-11 years old. I was told a horse would be too hard for the little kids but she would send me a large pony that would be perfect for my age range. I told her no one would be over 120 pounds. She even asked me to put it in an email and I did. I am sharing that email in the photo section. I confirmed this with the owner several times before the party. Fast forward to party day when the problems all began. She sent 2 girls to work my one hour party. The one girl that ran the petting bunny area was EXTREMELY rude to all the little kids. Even rolling her eyes at them when they asked what kind of balloons she could make. She yelled at them multiple times when kids 3 years old were petting the baby bunnies. To a point of me and several parents going in the bunny pen to help. It was so embarrassing that people at my party were being treated this way. Several of the bunnies kept escaping. She yelled at the 3 year old birthday boy when he went to get a second handful of food from the food bucket they bring. She said "you already fed the animals." We tried to talk to her to help change her bad mood but it was the entire time and super disappointing as this was a kids party. The other thing I would like to warn you about is that TONS of the kids were turned away from riding the pony. The girl working said they were too tall. One of the girls was a tiny 10 year old weighing no more that 65 pounds. If height was a requirement I should have been told that before the party. Like I said I discussed this with her multiple times. So only a few little kids got to ride over and over. When you pay over $500 for someone to bring animals to your party you expect at least kind service. I contacted the owner before coming to social media. She said the girl working the party was only 14 years old. While she did say she would talk to her she made all kinds of excuses. I think it would be better to have an adult working something like this. She told me the bigger pony they had used at a different party that day and had problems with so they switched to this one. I understand things happen in life but those are not a customers problem. While I couldn't come to an agreement with the owner I thought I could at least warn all my friends or anyone thinking to book for a party! Stay far away. I wished I would have booked somewhere else. After having the party I had several people recommend Tyler's exotic animals. They said he is much more kid friendly. Just super disappointed that so few kids got to ride the pony & that the other worker that ran the balloons/petting area treated everyone so rotten. It was an awful experience and I have booked lots of big things for events. Never have I had to deal with this kind of unprofessionalism. Truly disappointed.

I love history and museums, so this was such a great experience. Ken, the Museum's director and a former Cedar Point employee, was there and gave us an overview of the collection and lots of CP history. He was so knowledgeable and super interesting to talk to. He had answers for all of our questions and I felt like we could have talked to him for hours. I truly had no idea about Cedar Point's extensive history - it is the country's longest-running amusement park, and was started in 1870 as a public bathing beach, with the first "roller coaster" opening in 1892. The collection houses tons of artifacts, including souvenir items you could buy from the 1900s. It was so interesting to see the evolution of marketing materials, souvenirs, etc. They even have a small section of rare items that were all donated. The museum used to be onsite at Cedar Point but has since moved to this spot. I highly recommend this to any Cedar Point fan - I just hope Ken is there to give you all the information!

Fridge is a tad small if you're staying more than 2 nites. Shower is short so 6 ft is the max w/o hitting head on shower ceiling. Bedroom needs hangers for the closet bar. And could use shelves or hooks. TVs & microwave & hot water was all nice. Main issue was MayFlies all over which is expected, but attendants just sat around instead of skimming the pool or especially the hot tub where there was a couple thousand floating in it. Prices were pretty high but w/ a bogo deal it's on par w/ most mini cabins.
