    Tecumseh! performed in the intimate 1200 seat Sugar Mountain amphitheater is one of the best plays…read moreI've seen, ever. Horses, cannons, canoes, bluecoats and deerskin-robed Shawnee tell the story of Tecumseh, a heroic figure in the First Peoples' fight to save their way of life. We took the backstage tour led by two new members of the professional cast - a young man from Kansas, the other from New Orleans. My suggestion for management - and this is really important - you filled the auditorium with 500 back-to-school teenagers (end of August) and they're inattentive chaperones. The chatter, giggles, guffaws went unanswered by the chaperones, whom I gave an F+. They were paid to be there, and did nothing to "teach" the young people theatre etiquette. Removing one or two of the mouths would have taught the rest how to behave. I imagine the producers need the concession revenue and that's why the menu played to the high carb/high-fat options teens favor. While it was a "slow" night for the performance (only 600 guests), cars from Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Indiana drove to see Tecumseh!. These cash paying families were annoyed with the rude teenagers, too. One mom - cranked, "unbelievable". I agree. The actors and the audience deserve better. Management needs to expect more from students and their chaperones. In the meantime, I will share my praise for the production and look for the talented actors in the future productions.

    The show was pretty good, it went from 8 to 10:30. There was a half hour intermission as well…read more The actors did a great job and it was really fun to watch. The only thing we did not like at all was the concession stands. If you are wanting a meal there, they only have pork and beef products, nothing for vegetarians or pescatarians. They are also limited on snacks. We tried the pretzel and cheese, which was really unimpressive. The food just tasted cheap for how much it cost. Overall, the show was great but I would definitely bring your own snacks or eat beforehand (just our opinion though).

    Came to Mound City all the time as a kid, but it's probably been 25 years since my last visit…read more Hasn't changed a lot. Very nicely kept grounds, respectful care of the earthworks. Small visitor's center that explains the culture, architecture and archaeology of the earthworks- Mound City is here, but there are several other properties in the area that are included in the National Historical Park. Baby K loved the Junior Ranger brochure, and learned quite a bit from it, the rangers, the movie, and my decrepit memory. We had family to see and it was sprinkling, otherwise we would have stayed longer than an hour. Figure on several hours if you really want to explore. We just missed the big culture gathering on October 14th. Oh, well. Still a fun and educational visit. We'll be back.

    Unique piece of Ohio history…read more Bring a picnic and stay awhile! The parking lot is small, but the visitor center is very informative. There is a short movie to watch, small gift shop, restrooms, maps and the best part the staff. The rangers and volunteers do a great job of helping you explore the park. If you bring kids I highly recommend asking for a junior rangers booklet and completing some of the activities to earn their badge. The area is beauty and serene. I teach my kids to respect the area like a cemetery. The hills and mounds are not to be walked on, but there is plenty explore. If you want a little more adventure walk the nature path down by the river.

    A friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here taking ridiculous photos with friends after not…read morebeing with groups of people for the first few years of the Coronavirus pandemic. Not enough people RSVP'd for an actual party that night so we all bought our own tickets (adult tickets are $15 Thursdays, $25 other days) and met up there. Street parking is available but watch for signs to make sure you aren't parking somewhere that needs a pass. If you can't parallel park, maybe have someone drive who is comfortable doing it. In total, 10 people showed up including a child in a wheelchair. Our tickets were for an hour but I believe we took about 2 hours; there were maybe 4 other people we saw during that time so the owner didn't rush us out. The business has around a dozen themes and several walls with fun graphics and lights. It was easy to start our way in the back and work towards the front. Or you could start on the left or right and work your way around the U shape. It was a really fun way for us to be silly, take photos, and make good memories.

    This place is so much fun!!! We took a group of 12 year olds on a Friday evening for some birthday…read morefun and they all thought it was so cool. My husband and I had fun too taking some pics. There are 20 areas plus they have some selfie lights around that you can also use. Parking is on the street but we didn't have any trouble finding spots. We reserved our tickets ahead of time by emailing with the business. Highly recommend!
