The Mansfield Memorial Museum is amazing, and it's the perfect place to explore if you're like me…read moreand like unusual finds and kitschy collections. The objects in this museum are mostly artifacts from around the area, so you can learn a bit about Mansfield, Ohio, history in this museum. The museum collection is contained to the first two floors. The first floor has Elektro the Westinghouse Robot, which is the pride and joy of the museum. Elektro was one of the first working robots, and it's displayed here at the museum. A lot of the electronics and glass collection are here on the first floor, too. To get up to the second floor, you need to be escorted, as they do t allow visitors to just wander by themselves. On the second floor, you'll find many taxidermied animals, airplane displays, a real elephant foot that you can touch and lots more. The second floor is my favorite because there are so many things to look at everywhere you turn. This museum is a great place to visit if you're in the area, and if it's open when you're around. (I believe it's only open on Saturdays and Sundays!)

April 23 12:30 not open. Should be according to everywhere I looked on line. Their web site says…read more12 to 4 Sundays starting in April. No sign on the door with hours. YELP says open until 4 today.

We visited the reformatory both during the day and overnight for a paranormal tour/ghost hunt…read more During the day, we accessed only the gift-shop and admired the grounds from the outside. The merchandise in the store was priced high, in my opinion, with zip up hoodies tagged at $70 each. The staff during both of our visits were friendly and helpful. The overnight ghost hunt included complimentary beverages, a 30-45 min pre-tour, and support from the staff throughout the night. The building is maintained pretty well and the areas that aren't safe are clearly marked off limits. I'd love to come back and take a different tour.

Second visit for a tour, and this place never disappoints. Staff is fantastic, public facilities…read moreare great, and historic areas are epic. 100% recommend a visit!

I was preparing myself for Biblewalk to be cheesy or preachy, but this place is actually really…read moreinteresting and neat. This is the only life-size wax museum in the state of Ohio, and it features more than 300 wax figures depicting around 100 scenes from the Christian Bible. The theme of this wax museum is nondenominational Christianity and the Bible, so you'll see many scenes from Bible stories, both Old Testament and New Testament, like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, Jonah and the whale, Jesus speaking to the little children, the last supper, the crucifixion of Christ and all of the other heavy hitters. The stories are presented very earnestly. Each story has its own little scene, and you press a button and the lights come on for that scene, and a recorded voice reads that particular scene's passage from the Bible. There are pews in front of the scene, so you can sit and absorb what's going on. Each recording is about 5-7 minutes. As you can imagine, if you made your way from the beginning to the end and listened to each Bible story, you would be there all day. (The lady who works there said some people are there like five hours.) However, you can also just wander the museum and pick and choose which stories you want to hear. I am a cynical person, and this is really not the kind of place you want to take me without expecting me to say something about it. But I have nothing but good things to say about Biblewalk. There is something very warm and comforting about it. It's like the best of the Midwest: Just wide-eyed, open-armed optimism and hope. I was prepared to roll my eyes at the earnest of it all, but you kind of get wrapped up in all of the stories as you walk through the museum. It's hard not to appreciate the museum and the stories that mean so much to so many.

Really cool and unique place. It's a bit difference than a wax "museum." Instead of just walking…read morearound and looking at the people, you actually go from story to story. As you walk the path there are scenes that have the people and it lights up and gives you a description from the Bible. Good for all ages. You have about 5 different paths to choose from. So if you have young ones you can end after one tour if they get restless. Very nice workers and i was impressed with how well maintained and clean the place was. It is also MUCH larger than it looks from the outside.
