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!

This is a cute little museum featuring exhibits, shows, and interactive stations related to…read morescience, history, technology, and more. 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.

My niece loves to go to another children's museum in a nearby city. Unfortunately, it's a little…read morepricey for what it has to offer beyond your 1st visit & there is very little for adults to interact with & engage. We recently went to Cosi 1 weekend instead. 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.

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.

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. The pie was good-not-great, but then, we got there after most pies were gone. The food vendors were good- a step above the usual fair food. The organizers and locals were super friendly. There's a large shelter with tables to eat and relax in. We'll be here next year.

The past reviewer visited in the Museum's downturn period. She visited 3 yrs prior I'd say it be a much better experience. As there was a Professional curator at that time. Im sure in time it will get better again if economy improves. The Museum now goes by Ohio Ceramic Center

Odd little roadside attraction. The only thing national about it must be its proximity to the…read moreNational Road. It is definitely local. The gentleman who gave us the tour was sweet but didn't know much about ceramics-I don't think he was the proprietor. The exhibits were dusty and rind of homemade. The most amazing part was a local ceramics painter who had a special exhibit featuring his work, and his cremated remains in an urn he made. Next to it was the second urn for his longtime partner, awaiting his ashes as well. So Ohio is probably a lot more ready for gay marriage than I thought. There was a gift shop, but they didn't turn on the lights so it was hard to see. If you wanted to know more about history, they had reference books and video lectures. I think the Zanesville art museum had much nicer exhibits of the best of this area, but this place had a birck patio in the shape of the state of Ohio in handmade Ohio bricks. So it was quirky and local.

And Santa and the tree lighting, of course. Lots of vendors, and free samples and other handouts like hot chocolate from the realtors sponsoring it. Many photo ops, fake snowballs for the kids, fake snow machine, and much more. Baby K loved it. I had fun. Plenty of food trucks too, and of course the local restaurants. Mill Street was closed so I'm guessing to get into the garage you'd have to come from the north or east. We parked just across the creek in the park south of 62, and had a very short walk. Definitely coming next year.
