A working farm and store, open to public tours and events…read more We attended a wedding reception at Gorman Heritage Farm just north of Cincinnati, and we loved the farm! There are animals to visit and a small store with eggs, honey, produce, pasture-raised chicken, other local foods, fresh-cut flowers, and various books, clothing, and merchandise. For our event, they put up a huge tent, so we had breezy shaded dining. This was next to another covered structure, for a breezy shaded dance-floor. And there was a food-truck bar as well. In all, a clever use of their space for a fun comfortable event. We had access to their farm for self-tours, and i think there were guided tours and feedings, too, but we walked ourselves among and petted and brushed and fed the humped mini "zebu" steer, non-wooly Katahdin sheep, goats, mini horses, a mini donkey, mules, about six of rabbits of different kinds, and chickens. And beehives! We were there for a special event. The Gorman Heritage Farm is open to the public Mon-Sat for under $8 per person. Come see fun farm animals and products!

I am sure the weekend has a different experience but there weren't many animals to see besides chickens, no snacks or drinks (from what I saw) and just not a lot to do!

Great ice-cold beers, pizza, more. Playground! Indoor and outdoor seating…read more We were in town for a wedding, and we ate at MadTree Parks & Rec several times (May 2026). Our host was able to make reservations for seating areas for large numbers of people, so once we had two areas of a dozen or more, and a couple other times we had one area of that size. This flexibility was a big plus because we could only guess at how many would make it each time. We had ice-cold beers of every description, including IPAs, hazys, and other local crafts. I can't name them all, and some drafts aren on the printed menu, bu5 8 kniw we had Psychopathy, a flavorful IPA, and Seeing Colors Tropical IPA, with a sweeter / hazy profile. Dont miss their cocktails! We loved the S'More Espresso Martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, coffee tiqueur, and espresso :-) So much yum! And we ordered various pizzas. Our favorite was the Scenic Supreme (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, black olives) and the Vista Veggie (about the same without the meats). I also saw friends devouring Caprese Canyon (olive oil, minced garlic, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, roma tomatoes, balsamic drizzle). And of course regular pepperoni. Tasty crust, tasty red sauce, (you could get white sauce), generous toppings. We got the large sizes, which were enough for at least four people per pie. Sandwich-wise, the most popular was the Cuban Reuben: marble rye, corned beef, ham, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It's the added ham and pickles that move it toward a Cuban sandwich. Well-stacked, hot, and flavorful. For local flavor, the Goetta sandwich: that flavorful Cincinnati oat-pork hash, with candied bacon, american cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and ranch. Here and there we shared Buffalo fried-Cauliflower with celery and ranch on the side. This was. Not as spicy as it could be. But if you're going to eat cauliflower, this is tasty approach. We like the tangy Fried Pickle Spears better, served with lightly-spicy chipotle ranch. And we added some fresh crunchy Caesar salads, too, and and amazing pecan, apple, blue cheese, cranberry salad! So many candied pecans! Somehow, the servers kept up with an erratic flow of orders from different groups, keeping track on portable devices, so it was easy for each group to settle their own bill as-needed. It may not sound like much, but it was impressively smooth and error-free. And the staff remained helpful,and cheerful throughout. They built a large playgroup area with slides and climbers and more. Inside there's a large play camper that we spent a lot of time in, too! This is a great place for fresh-air dining, for large groups, and especially for kids. We lived the food and drink. Lots of wonderful leftovers, especially those huge pizzas!

It's certainly a stunning property a lot of history behind it and from what it looks like typically it's a venue for weddings. I had never heard of this property before despite being a Cincinnati native. I would imagine this would be a stunning venue for a wedding. Hopefully they have other events for the public: this was a very neat opportunity to see a musical and to get to visit the historic house and grounds.

ABSOLUTELY CHARMING! Peterloon made all of my wedding dreams come true. My first attraction to this…read morevenue was the fact that you could have every wedding event in one spot - ceremony, cocktails, and dinner. Upon visiting Peterloon we were in love -- the charm is unmatched. We had our ceremony in the sunken garden, cocktails inside/outside, and a tented reception. The following really made the day spectacular: - Jamie and the Peterloon staff went above and beyond to meet any needs we could have. - After a rainy week the grass drained really well and pavers were perfect for the reception. - The air conditioned bridal suite - Ability to use baby grand piano - Fans in house - NO CICADAS SOMEHOW! - Working with Samantha Joy Events - she knows everything there is to know about Peterloon! Despite being a 90 degree day, guests were mostly in the shade for the ceremony and could cool off in the house all night long. If you have any hesitations - I truly think a rainy wedding at Peterloon would still beat a good weather day at any other venue! Thank you for everything, Peterloon staff!

They were very punctual and kept us informed every step of the way. The food was delicious too- all of my guests kept complimenting the food. My daughter loves to cook so they planned a special pizza making part of the party for the kids and they had all the ingredients and personalized boxes for the kids to take the pizza home.

This is a very nice garden for not only the little ones, but the kids. It is actually a garden…read morewithin a larger garden. It is in Glenwood Gardens and covers 12 acres. They have a ton of parking and admission is $5.25 in season and $2.75 during winter months. However, since it is in a another garden then you will have to pay that admission too. I think it is $3. No one was at the gate when I came there, so I did not have to pay it. This garden is well maintained and has lots to see. There is a prairie and nicely paved trails. The highlight of the place is the storybook looking area called Discovery Garden. It has Trolley Garden, a spot were small trains run along the tracks. They had a haunted train and a Thomas train among others, running the tracks. The center piece of the area is the tree house called the Discovery Tree. My small one found it a bit creepy. The house is very nice and in the form of a face. You will find creature (not real ones) in there like an owl, bats, and an opossum. If you look closely, you can see gold fish and tadpoles in the water running past the tree house. My littles also liked the Garden Workshop, which is right next to the tree house. They have a few small animals in there like a turtle, a tarantula, a snake, and cockroaches. Outside of the workshop you can make it rain and pump water into buckets where you can then use it to water nearby plants. The staff that works there is very friendly. Off to the corner of the area is a small pastel colored house that kids can go in and have little tea parties. There is a large wizards hat that kids can play in and a small outdoor amphitheater/storybook area. There is also a misting tunnel shaped like a caterpillar that leads to the butterfly garden. The ground is very slippery through the tunnel because of the mist, so if you do use it, please be careful. Of course the garden has a gifts shop. That is where you pay for admission. They have a small play area in there with a toy train set up and an interactive machine as well. If you get hungry, don't worry, they have a small cafe. I can't speak much about it though because I did not check it out. This was a nice spot for me and my littles. They had lots of fun in the tree house and watching the trains. We spent about 2 hours there. This place is very picturesque and as calming as a place that kids run around can be.

You don't even have to bring children along if you don't have any. Young and old alike will never forget this wondrous place. There are seven smaller gardens to explore: -Frog & Toads Garden: Look closely among the lily pads and you'll see they are surrounded by frogs. -Wizard's Garden: Pass the purple hat, don't wake the dragon and take the bouncy bridge to the fairy garden.Just the metal sculpture of the dragon itself is worth it. They have purple lights for its eyes, too. -Trolley Garden: Four, small scale trains run on tracks surrounding some of your favorite storybook characters. Of course, there is Thomas the Tank Engine who was always a favorite of my son when he was younger. -Vegetable Garden: Raised beds will put you at eye level with common and not-so-common vegetables. -Grandma's Scent Garden: You'll be surrounded by smelly plants for your pretend tea party here. There's a plant there that smells like popcorn!! -Morph Garden: The caterpillars in this garden are huge! -Butterfly Garden: This garden is shaped like its favorite resident.
