    We recently visited for the first time over the Memorial Day weekend and were pleasantly surprised…read more We only hiked the Cascade Trail so that is what my review will be on. The park website and things online are very confusing. One site says, permit not required and another say one isn't. The sign at the park also says permit required, but there is no where to purchase one in person or online. We took the chance and parked without one. I did see a worker driving around and he didn't seem to be checking cars. The map seems okay for general navigating and there is signage around. The trails are marked okay I think. There could be some improvement, but the Cascade Trail is a big loop so it isn't a huge deal. The trail was well maintained. A little overgrown in places, but nothing terrible. It's also really flat except for the end of the trail where you need to walk up a big hill to get back to where we parked. My kids did fine with the trial the whole time though. The bridge is super neat and my kids had fun crossing it. The falls were pretty and a nice treat, but you really have to wander around to find a good view of it. Luckily none of us minded that. The creek is really nice to play and walk in. That was by far my kids favorite part. We also found lots of fossils to explore and look at! It was a little muddy after all the rain we had received, but nothing terrible.

    My favorite 'hiking' spot in Butler County…read more My favorite part about this preserve are the trails. There are multiple trails that connect to each other, so if you get bored with hiking your usual trail, it's easy to mix it up a little bit. They are all well kept and maintained. Sometimes there is some litter, but we pick it up. There are two old building foundations on one of the trails and a piece of farm equipment grown into a tree, pretty neat! The park is big, lots of space.

    Kind of a hidden gem. Admission is 8 dollars for adults and 3 dollars for children, but worth…read morelooking at groupon for discounts. 300 acres of large outdoor sculpture and an indoor museum with sculpture and artifacts. It's definitely worth a visit if art or sculpture is your thing. Obviously, it is best to go on a beautiful day, so walking around is comfortable and blue sky for pics. The sculpture is in beautiful woods with a lake so also nice for wildlife, bird watching and nature. I heard there are carts you can rent to get around, but i just drove around in my car. Parked and walked about. They also decorate in lights for Christmas.

    This is one of my favorite places to go around Christmas time. They have the ENTIRE park lit up…read morewith every dift. Kind of light! Flashing lights, racing lights, and in every Christmas color your heart desires! From...The trees and buildings to the ground and pond...everything is beautifully designed to bring back those warm childhood memories. So load up the kids, give them blankets and hot cocoa and enjoy making memories with your family. You can go 10 miles per hour OR..pull over each time you see something you just wanna stare at! It's $20-$25 car load and you won't regret it! You can drive thru this magical Christmas winter wonderland all night long until close if you want! You will see dift. Things like Santa in his sleigh and his reindeer made of lights etc...I don't want to give it ALL away because I want to leave an element of surprise to YOU as well so it is worth seeing!
