Went here for valentines with my other half, we got the regular GA admission. It did take a while…read moreto get inside. The line was extremely long so definitely come early not at your time haha. Absolutely no bags of any kind, if you have to go back to your car to put it away, you can't go back in line, no holding the line for anyone either. Once inside to the "lobby" area it snakes for a bit til you finally get inside. While waiting inside some of the scare actors will be going around trying to scare you, it is very entertaining to hear them scare someone haha. This is probably thee best haunted house attraction we have been too, definitely worth going here if you love haunted houses as much as we do. You do take a photo before you go in, as a photographer myself, I will say they need to turn down their brightness as it does over light the photo that was taken, but I do love that it was included in the price. *If you do go, please don't be a sourpuss, the guy behind us w what we assume was his wife was a buzzkill the whole time. Bro was just irritated wouldn't even hold his wife's hand as she was enjoying it and screaming bc of the actors. Don't be a loser bf/gf/husband/wife/partner. Enjoy it! * Oh at the end they do have a merch area and more photo areas you can ask someone to take a picture for you. 100% going to the other ones they have !

The attention to detail put into this haunted attraction really made the whole experience amazing…read more Every area was covered and served a purpose. The actors were amazing and ACTUALLY scared you. 100% worth the money, we were in the haunted house for about 35-40 minutes total. Will be coming back next year!

I'm sure I reviewed this before, but I can't find it. The show restarted a few years ago; decades…read moreago there had been shows out here every year or two, and a big one in 2007 for the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends. I'm glad they got it going again. It's not huge, which has its pros and cons. Smaller than Dayton or Cleveland's shows. Much easier to get around, especially for older folks or families with young kids. Parking isn't horrible, though you will walk a fair distance to the gates (sometimes the golf cart folks will give a few people a lift.) Prices are fair if you buy in advance, and pretty ridiculous closer to the show. Buy parking- you have to get it in advance I think, and it too is cheaper the earlier you get it. Bring the usual airshow stuff: sunscreen, a water bottle, hat, a folding chair maybe. You're not allowed to bring in full water bottles (though they weren't picky about it today.) Water stations are just inside the gate, and at the far end of the show near a hangar. Plenty of vendors and display aircraft to wander and see, plenty of overpriced food and drinks. And booths from the military, local museums, and more. A STEM tent for kids. Helicopter rides for sale. Some shade by the entrance and under wings (maybe bring a sun umbrella too.) The show is solid: Blue Angels or Thunderbirds, other well-known national performers. Always dependent on the weather, of course, but they can do a "low show" if there is a moderate cloud later. Oh, maybe bring earplugs for little kids (there is at least one booth selling them.) All in all a fun event, loud fast stuff, friendly people, and neat things to look at. If you love aviation, or history, or festivals, check it out.

We drove 40 minutes and we will be back! I wonder if they have memberships?? I have never seen her so upset to leave somewhere before. I love that the water table was her height level too, at cosi the kids her age have to stand on stools which isn't very safe for the kids or relaxing for mom.

COSI too far? Too expensive? Just need a safe place for your kiddo to play indoors and stretch…read moretheir legs and imaginations? This is for you! This place is essentially like the kids space at COSI. Different areas for them to play and get creative. Dress up, read, sing on the little stage, climb on the construction equipment, pretend to grocery shop, play on the splash table and build a pipe line for the water to travel through, and much more. My sister and I took our little ones here on a rainy day, and they definitely enjoyed themselves. We (unfortunately) went on a day when a HUGE daycare or playgroup was also visiting, so about 15 mins after arriving, this swarm of over 50 adults and kids came in and it just got insane. I overheard another mom say that she's never seen so many people in there, so it reassured me that it's not always like this. This place isn't super fancy, and I did wonder about their sanitation procedures because I didn't see any buckets or bins for toys to go in if a kid had put it in their mouth. My LO being under a year, and my nephew being 18 months, you know everything goes in the mouth. They had a little "plop zone" which is the sacred safe space for babies under 2 to not get trampled. My daughter liked it, and liked chewing every toy, which takes me back to the germs... Butbi tried to let it go. The one thing I truly disliked about this place is that you have to pay to get in, even as an adult. $8 for me to supervise my own kid? Okay... Luckily my daughter was free because she was under 1, but I thought it was kind of ridiculous that adults have to pay for their child and themselves. It would make me think twice about coming here regularly once she's over 12 months because I don't think $16 is worth it. As of right now, all she can do is sit in the little baby plop zone. So if you really need something to do on a rainy day, definitely come here. It's safe and the kids for sure have fun. But if it's not a rainy day or you have a lot of kiddos, weigh out all your options, lol.

If you had asked me 5 years ago to rate the Village of Groveport's Independence Day Festival, I…read morewould have given it 4 stars. But over the past few years, and the downtown in the economy, its gotten a little weaker. In fact, it used to be a 3-day festival with live bands, food, and entertainment, but now its only one day with no live bands, only a few bouncy castles for the kids and a parade that I think is getting more and more peaked by the year. What redeems this event is that it really is a family event and you can spend all day here and have a good time. The children's parade starts at 10am and ends at a carnival. The main parade was at 1.30 and featured Eric Smith of the New York Jets as the grand marshall. The fireworks are surprisingly good and lasted around 30 minutes. Quite a few people come to watch the fireworks so parking can get a bit tight. The school lot was completely filled up but the cops aren't too diligent about ticketing for parking illegally during the fireworks (but you'd better move your car right afterwards) or you can also park for free at the rec center down the road. Or if you don't want to walk or risk a ticket, several of the houses along Main offer parking for $5 a car in their yards.

This is the dozenth time that I have been to this cute little church festival. Unfortunately - I…read morewill have to say that I was disappointed with this year's experience even more so than the last few; it has been going downhill the last couple of years. You have to buy all your food tickets upfront before you can even see what the food looks like and therein lies the hitch. At the other church festivals I have been to - you get to shop with your eyes and then you pay based on what you have chosen but this festival has you scan a QR code to read the menu in your phone or, if you do not have smart phone, there is a menu taped to the table that you can read by being in every one else's way which is super rude and annoying. So you hurry and guess and buy your tickets ahead of time and you have no idea what the food looks like and that was very disappointing. The portions were small, the meat was overcooked and people in general just did not look like they were having a lot of fun serving, watif ir even being there when I visited in the afternoon on Saturday. When visiting in previous years they let you see what the food looked like and then you could get tickets or you could pay after you had chosen in line. The reorganization this year was just really not working for me. I prefer to see what I'm ordering and indeed I end up often ordering much more than I intend because of the quality of how everything looks, the amazing smells and/ or the friendliness of the hosts. Sadly, this was not the case for this church festival this year. Making me pay ahead of time, keeping all the food covered and not letting anyone see it until you had already ordered it and having the food served look little like the representative photos makes me feel like you're hiding poor quality. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this festival after more than a dozen years of really enjoying this place. There are much better ones out there that deserve my time and attention and financial support. I wish them the best and hope that my experience was just random bad luck.

I don't know how I missed this before, just up the road from me. I am always up for interesting…read morefood, and while I've had Serbian sausage and slivovice, the food in general is new to me. Sweetie and I took Baby K., and I have to say it was not good for the baby- too hot, and too loud in the food building where the band also was. But we had time to grab some food and skedaddle. It is a small festival, but there is a ton of good food, and music, a few vendors, etc. Very well organized, and everyone was friendly, from parking to the food counters. It's a ticket system, so buy some tickets near the entrance (they have a list of "prices," and $20/20 tickets was enough for two adults with soft drinks.) Everything is behind the church, and there are plenty of tables under a big tent, restrooms, etc. We tried "Serbian salata," pretty much the tomato/cuke/onion salad we often make. Also a cabbage roll- perfectly cooked and seasoned, with ground meat inside and a few chunks of spicy Serbian sausage on top. The cevapi were also amazing- ground meat inside hearty soft flatbread. I could eat several more of those. We finished with dessert- very good baklava, a slice of nut roll, and a jam-filled roll that was, I think, citrus and plum. All in all great food, friendly people, a nice setup, and reasonable prices. We will be back, on a cooler day with an older kid. It's the last Saturday in July every year.

A bake-off, music, pie raffle (of the bake-off winners,) pie-eating contest, local charities and vendors, etc. It wasn't big, but big enough for an hour or so, and some lunch.

There's a large shelter with tables to eat and relax in. We'll be here next year.

There is a very nice little planetarium (the Scidome), and viewing a show is included in the price of admission. We saw "From Earth to the Universe," which provided a crash course on astronomy throughout history and a look at our galaxy and the universe. The first floor of the space features a lot of interactive and hands-on activities, such as building a circuit, learning about your body, building and racing cars from objects like Legos, plus a 6-and-under play area. The hot shop is also located in this area, and it was very interesting to watch them work with the hot glass (and a very pleasant space to be in on such a cold day!) Upstairs is a wealth of local and regional historical information for Newark and Licking County and its citizens and discoveries. A giant mastadon skull greets you as you come up the stairs, as the Burning Tree Mastadon was found in the county. The Jerrie Mock exhibit, complete with a flight simulator and a replica of her airplane, the Spirit of Columbus, was extremely popular with the kids. (Jerrie Mock, a Newark native, was the first woman to fly solo around the world). A little historic village, complete with cash registers, scales, and games is also available to walk through on this level. Given the weather, we didn't spend as much time out in the courtyard as we probably would have otherwise, but we definitely made it over to the building housing the interurban railway car, the back end of which you can walk in and look around the interior of. There's also a really well done mural on the topic out by the parking lot. Staff was friendly and welcoming, and the museum was clean and comfortable. There is plentiful parking outside. A small gift shop, including items made in the hot shop, is available near the entrance.

The Works is hands down a better experience than the other children's museum. This is now her favorite of the 3 places we've been. Unfortunately, the glass blowing was closed for routine maintenance & we have plans to return when open again. The bottom floor houses the small planetarium & hands on exhibits & play areas for kids & upstairs is more informative displays of the local area, the Works history & a brief technology over view. I've heard there's a café associated with the museum across the outdoor area but we didn't look into that the day we were there. 10/10 recommend a visit if you're in the area & looking for something new, fun & educational for kids to do.
