    Glass flowers

    So much fun! Teacher was very experienced and nice. Even the 14 and 16yo boys got into it and made beautiful pulled flowers. Can't wait to go back!

    Passing through Lancaster one Sunday, we noticed the Ohio Glass Museum across the street from the café where we had decided to have lunch. I am a huge fan of glass art and of antique glasses and stemware, so I had to go in. The woman who greeted us was very cordial and arranged for us to receive a brief tour by a docent and to see a 20-minute video on glassblowing done right there at the museum. The man who gave us the tour had studied ceramic engineering before working with Corning, GE, and handful of other companies that used glass in various ways, and he was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he showed us. After our tour and video, we roamed the small museum for half an hour or so, viewing some truly beautiful glass works made in Ohio during the later 1800s and early-to-mid 1900s, and then walked through the gift shop where I was tempted to empty my bank account on art and glassware. I learned that there is another glass museum in Cambridge, Ohio, which means that I have another day trip to make sometime soon. If you're in Lancaster and like glass art, especially the "everyday" art of plates, bowls, glasses, punch bows, etc., then you must stop in. It isn't a large museum, and you won't spend a huge amount of time there. So you don't have to worry about getting the museum foot aches and mental fatigue that some museums cause after a couple of hours walking through them. It's the perfect size for spending half an hour to an hour, and it's not packed full of people clambering around each other to look at things. So stop in!

    I'm a big sucker for 60s, so I made a point to check out DACO's current Mod/60s exhibit before it…read morewas gone. All I can say is: So cool! Yes, I definitely wish there were more artifacts, posters and clothing on display, but that's just because I'm a lover of any and all things 60s era, so anything original to the time period just plain excites the dickens out of me and makes me think and ponder socio-economic conditions, and life in general, during America's past 100 years even more, haha. The museum is next to the Sherman house, a historical home with its own significance. There's plenty of free street parking if the small lot next to DACO happens to be full. I believe it was $11 to see their spotlight exhibit. If you're an art/history buff, I recommend you take a day stroll down to Lancaster and stop here; anything of historical significance is always worth patronizing, imo.

    The current exhibit is Flower Power: Flora in Fashion. I loved all of the use of floral print…read morefabrics and the big paper flowers decorating the entrance to the exhibit. As part of the exhibit, I took a flower arranging class at the art education center on the museum property. Our instructors Brooke and Elizabeth were very knowledgable and gave us lots of helpful tips for working with flowers at home. Elizabeth provided all of the fresh flowers from her floral design business and farm (Bluegreen Gardens) and they were gorgeous. Admission to the Decorative Arts Center is free. On the weekends, they are open Saturdays and Sundays 1-4 pm. The staff is made up of volunteers and they are always fantastic.

    I can't believe we've been wasting our time at Cosi lol, this is so much more spacious and my 2…read moreyear old can literally touch every thing. Everyone was so nice as well, both patrons and staff. I'm also glad they make you keep your shoes on unlike momiland which smells like feet. I love how clean everything was as well. We drove 40 minutes and we will be back! I wonder if they have memberships?? I have never seen her so upset to leave somewhere before. I love that the water table was her height level too, at cosi the kids her age have to stand on stools which isn't very safe for the kids or relaxing for mom.

    COSI too far? Too expensive? Just need a safe place for your kiddo to play indoors and stretch…read moretheir legs and imaginations? This is for you! This place is essentially like the kids space at COSI. Different areas for them to play and get creative. Dress up, read, sing on the little stage, climb on the construction equipment, pretend to grocery shop, play on the splash table and build a pipe line for the water to travel through, and much more. My sister and I took our little ones here on a rainy day, and they definitely enjoyed themselves. We (unfortunately) went on a day when a HUGE daycare or playgroup was also visiting, so about 15 mins after arriving, this swarm of over 50 adults and kids came in and it just got insane. I overheard another mom say that she's never seen so many people in there, so it reassured me that it's not always like this. This place isn't super fancy, and I did wonder about their sanitation procedures because I didn't see any buckets or bins for toys to go in if a kid had put it in their mouth. My LO being under a year, and my nephew being 18 months, you know everything goes in the mouth. They had a little "plop zone" which is the sacred safe space for babies under 2 to not get trampled. My daughter liked it, and liked chewing every toy, which takes me back to the germs... Butbi tried to let it go. The one thing I truly disliked about this place is that you have to pay to get in, even as an adult. $8 for me to supervise my own kid? Okay... Luckily my daughter was free because she was under 1, but I thought it was kind of ridiculous that adults have to pay for their child and themselves. It would make me think twice about coming here regularly once she's over 12 months because I don't think $16 is worth it. As of right now, all she can do is sit in the little baby plop zone. So if you really need something to do on a rainy day, definitely come here. It's safe and the kids for sure have fun. But if it's not a rainy day or you have a lot of kiddos, weigh out all your options, lol.

    Great small museum. I'd heard about it for years (they've been there since about 1998) but never…read morehad a chance to stop in. Yesterday, I made things work. They were open, it was a nice day, I had free time. Walking in was, for me, like going home. I used to volunteer at an air museum, and this had the same feel: friendly, knowledgeable people, mostly retired. Planes and artifacts wedged in a smallish space. The sounds, sights, and smells of aviation. And, a few familiar "faces": a couple of planes from our museum ended up here. One of them, a Culver Cadet, hung in the Columbus airport terminal for years, so many people will recognize it: yellow with red stripes, it was built in Columbus in the '40s. They also have several Stinsons, a gyrocopter, a 3/4 scale P-51 replica, and a Folland Gnat. I gnew Gnats were small, but standing beside it really makes that obvious. It could almost fit in my garage, and yet was an effective fighter. Outside was a Pober Baby Ace homebuilt, and a Beech 18 (look for that as you drive up.) They also have several military vehicles, lots of uniforms, a reading room, etc. There's a helicopter school next door, so there was also the noise and activity of a typical small airport. Stop by and see them, and soak up some aviation history. They have an open house in May with free plane rides for kids.

    A must visit for the aviation lover. Small but free to get in. Worth a trip to Lancaster to check…read moreout. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to leave a donation to keep this Jen open.

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.

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!
