    Taxidermy
    Maggie D.

    Recently I went here for the second time for the Biggest Week in American Birding. With me was my university's Ornithology Club and I cannot even describe how much fun everyone had! Magee Marsh did a great job reconstructing the boardwalk trail after storm damage. Wildlife surrounded us on the trails, from Canada Warblers to Snapping Turtles. There was no limit to the age range of the visitors I saw. The museum inside was beautiful with well preserved taxidermic species, kind workers, and an irresistible gift shop. The only downside is that Magee Marsh offers seasonal hunting, so hikers have to be careful when they visit. Looking forward to my next visit!

    I'd rather be on a beach that's 80 degrees and sunny but you take what you get I guess.

    I enjoy walking the beach here and they also have a nice boardwalk/bird trail that takes you through swampy areas. There are other areas to explore also but I stick to those. I think this park is great I grew up about 10 minutes from here and have seen a wide range of creatures. In the spring baby turtles are everywhere (watch where you drive!) Also large snappers, multiple eagles nests, deer, river otters, snakes, swans and on and on and on. It is also home to the largest bird migration. People come from literally all over the world to this location to view the birds so when people who leave 1 star reviews that have never even visited and two star reviews after taking 1 stroll through are quite frankly clowns. If you like nature and take the time to observe it this is a fantastic place to do so.

    I thought I had already wrote a review on this but maybe I didn't hit save or send. Excellent place to go to see Bald Eagles in the wild. There was an abundance of Cranes and I saw different species of Cranes. The higher observation deck definitely needs some repair and the trails need more maintanence; however, all in all I left this marsh greatful to have experienced its beauty. Make this place a stop for travel. It's a couple hour drive from Columbus (near Lake Erie) but well worth the trip if your a person who love nature.

    Great place to walk trails and look at birds. It's a bird watchers paradise. Be careful on the trails because of ticks.

    For my very first spring as a birder in general, I had so much fun adding so many new birds to my life list!

    I went to A smooth jazz concert here a few years ago. The setting was immaculate. I was surprised…read morethat there is such a gem of an arboretum in this part of Ohio. The grounds were lovely, and they were plenty of plant and tree specimens that one does not normally see in this part of Ohio. I liked the knobby knee cypress trees the best! The insect quotient was very low, making me wonder if they spray. It seems as though they must because of all the flowers and plants. It's an amazing setting for a concert and I wonder why they have not had a smooth jazz concert there since. I definitely would go! This seems as though it would be a great place to take photos of your family. People are very friendly here and it would be a very nice afternoon daycaytion!

    First off, there is an admission to get into these gardens. These gardens use that admission to…read morestay open, because they do not depend on tax payer money or local levy. The admission cost makes it possible for these gardens to exist, they are a non for profit. The gardens are unique in that they offer a great rotation collection of art from all over the world. The gardens themselves offer a unique collection and experience in that they are the areas only large scale asian gardens. They have a complete 30+ tree collection of bonsai trees. As a seasoned and well traveled garden tourist, this is one of my all time favorite gardens.
