While your down there your using a provided map to guide yourself around and match the corresponding areas ( Ex; A to A or 1-1 ) We went after it had just rained the night before, so everything was VERY wet. Wear waterproof/walking shoes if you plan on exploring. Be prepared to get dripped on by very cold water coming off nearby rocks, and the "ceiling". Coming down the initial very steep stairs is a beautiful view of different levels of rocks decending into a tunnel/cave where the rest of the cavers are. Tons of puddles all over the ground from collected rain water and the "droplets". Most the areas are about big enough for one person to walk through the tunnel areas at one time, and if your a larger person i DO NOT recommend going down there. Some areas are extremely tight and really only accessible to someone under 4'5 and around 100 pounds or less. (Im 5'4, 140 and some areas i almost got stuck cause it was too tight going through the rocks. It is neat to see though, i dont think id want to do it again as it is just wet rocks and the furthest tunnel was closed from the previous year that occurred from some heavy rain water. (The water collected, over time causing a collapse). So that was kind of a bummer but i get it for safety reasons. The gem mining was fun, definitely loaded with a lot of "gravel" type rocks so that was new for me, Ive only ever had ones with dirt/sand that yield rocks/gems/shark teeth. We found some really interesting gemstones in each tray. The petting zoo was great. I thought it wad Going to be boring and smelly, and i was happily wrong. The goats were adorable, when we came in a baby jumped through the fence and was following our group. And when we came inside the "pen" to pet them he ran back in it was very cute! The deer were a little skittish but very sweet and gentle. The treasure hunt/maze was VERY fun we enjoyed getting different prizes snd trading them within the group.

Jeff, the owner and tour guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and down to earth. He greeted us at the door and provided us with a goody bag with a big surprise in it.

He even documents your entire trip, so you don't have to worry about taking pictures, and creates a video rell as well. Plus you get a discount at your stops. The food and drinks were we stopped were delicious as well!

I booked a room for this weekend, which included July 4th. However, something came up that…read moreprevented us from being about to visit. As soon as we found out, my wife called and was told that it was no problem, that there is a waiting list, and once it is cancelled, we would get a refund. We would be charged a $35 fee, though. Having not yet received a confirmation email, my wife called again, asking about the refund. And she talked to a very rude person who said we were not getting a refund because it included a holiday. Also snapped "it is clearly written in the confirmation" several times and completely ignored the question of someone previously giving us false information. The excuse was "I am a small business and need to survive"... but rings very hollow because there is no doubt it was re-rented, in fact, she is double dipping and making twice the money. Nice little racket, if you ask me. While I did miss the holiday clause in the confirmation (which was made 35 days before the arrival date, so not much time to cancel), the fact that we were told we were getting a refund is a huge problem. If we were told the truth, we would have made arrangements to at least partially attend. And if this is the way they treat customers, I am wondering if I didn't dodge a bullet by not going. Needless to say, I will never patronize this business.

Such a beautiful and unique event space.

It's always interesting to see how people restore old homes. We are given the opportunity to take…read morean intimate look at a half dozen or so homes in the German Village part of town. The German Village Haus und Garten Tour is held the last Sunday of every June. It is sponsored by the German Village Society (and of course, the gracious folks who open their homes to the public). Tickets can be purchased in advance. But keep in mind, walking tours are available practically year round. Just pop into the German Village Meeting Haus, 588 South Third Street, to catch a 12-minute video and pick up a guide to the historic district. The 233-acre neighborhood is the largest, privately-funded historic district in the country. It's a neat place to wander around.

Having just moved from a historical neighborhood that has annual home tours (I even hosted one…read moretime), I totally get how much time and effort going into organizing an event such as this, let alone the amount of time and effort the actual home owner has to invest. As for the home tour here in German Village, it was very nice. Having friends that used to live in the village, I've had the opportunity to visit several of the area houses during and after their transformation... I love the historical feel and the effort made to preserve the essence of the area!! Why only 3 stars??? Well, as I mentioned at the start of this, I've done this sort of thing before. I love the intent of the fund-raising activity, but I feel the price of $20 per person is ... a BIT much. Had it not been for Groupon offering $15 for TWO tickets, I would not have attended. So glad I did not shell out $40 to stand in line or well over an hour at each house. They're nice and all, but way to crowded. And to stand in line for that long to only see 2-3 rooms on average in most houses..... When I did this a few years ago, I totally loved the experience of meeting and talking with all the people who had actually paid money to come look at my house. It made all the work and effort worth it!! Here in German village, I met only one single owner... REALLY??? Anyway, it was a good onetime experience, as I will probably not attend this again.

Nice hotel. it's definitely the hang out place, haha. Definitely hip and cool…read more The location seems off downtown, about a mile or so away from downtown. The place is gorgeous, well put together. The hotel staff were very attentive. A small hiccup on checking in. I was already charged through a booking website but when I arrived they said my booking was cancelled. Odd but quickly fixed. I took advantage of the welcome cocktail -- well, I asked for mine to be a mocktail. If you're looking for an alcohol substitute, you'd like it. If you're looking for juice with a flair, you will not. The bartender really loves what he does and that was nice. I also took advantage of the free COSI tickets. Lovely museum. Room was clean. Bed was nice. Shower was nice. Would've been better if it had a handheld shower head component. Downsides The walls are THIN. Unfortunately, I was privy to some extracurricular activities. Fortunately, it was short and not repeated. The steamer was dirty and not so great, and the wifi was soo slow. The bathroom needed more hooks. You could hang a towel but then you couldn't hang your wash cloth. If you needed a space to steam your clothes, you couldn't have your towel or wash cloth up. Lastly, they only gave me one wash cloth lol I did ask for more and it took a little while to get it. I think they got sidetracked because when I called down to the desk, it was there within 15 minutes.

It offers all the amenities you would expect to find from the bar to the fitness room. I was upstairs for the event space. The room was crowded for the event but then again there was probably over 400 ladies there for that fitness sampler event alone. I was impressed by the venue, I know many didn't like how small spaces and maybe The Westin would be up your alley if you need a bigger space. This hotel was designed with class I can tell. I even heard they have a rooftop area where many events take place as well. Props to the architect that came up with The Junto. I like the idea here. I will have to book a nights stay soon!

Instead, you are sent a code first for the outside door and then for your room. On your way to your room, make sure you grab a water in fridge if available (they seem to go very quickly). The rooms are clean and nice. The television does not connect to cable but rather Roku--so bring your passwords for DirecTV, Netflix, and ESPN+. The only big issue was that there was an extremely loud nightclub that was not far from our window. The music lasted until at least 2am an you could hear it even over a white noise machine. I assume it is not that busy during the week and there are rooms that may not face the club, but tough if you have a room near the club.

Stayed over Thanksgiving weekend for the OSU game. Beautiful building with clean and modern units…read more The service was excellent. Great shower. Super nice place. Be aware that there is no parking and there really isn't anywhere to unload/load your car. There's a taxi lane right up front, but there's also a "No Stopping " sign. Also, we didn't see any luggage carts and had to make several trips up and down upon check in/out. The part I hated though, was that our unit faced a parking garage that's next to a nightclub. While I didn't hear music too badly from the club, at 2am every morning, the shouting, beeping, fighting, singing began as people left the club and drove out of the garage. It carried on until about 2:45. And of course I couldn't fall back to sleep despite the super comfy bed. This is not the fault of the Mint House. But, when you book, ask for an interior room if you are a light sleeper.

There is a bus stop right in front of the motel, alllllll kinds of places to eat, shop and pamper yourself. I have stayed here many, many times now and I will continue to go back and give them my business when I just need a little break from reality. If you're looking for an affordable, clean, safe and comfortable motel at the right price.... This is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. ** side note** and this could just be preference... but I took my own big blanket after the first stay bc the comforter is thin, outdated and uncomfortable. However it never bothers my boyfriend so like I said this is just a preference NOT anything negative.
