I stopped by East Wheeling Clayworks on my own during an extended lunch and coffee pit stop in…read moremid-June 2025 (driving from Columbus, OH to northern Virginia). This place is fantastic with a lovely collection of high-quality handmade pottery which are made by artists in Wheeling. First, the studio and shop is only a 2 minute drive north of the main downtown area with nearby street parking available. Second, you'll see their inventory displayed as you enter the store and can ask about the different glazed colors on the pottery. Third, it's a little pricey but I think the high-quality of products made by local artisans is worth it. Fourth, you'll be supporting the local community with your purchase! Overall, it's worth a visit here in you're in town for a lunch stop during regular business hours on weekdays. I found Wheeling, WV to be full of historical gems (walk on the Suspension Bridge if you can and stop by the Heritage Port Park). Don't be fooled by first impressions - yes, it's easy to see that many dilapidated buildings need TLC. But there's also a positive sense of community in Wheeling.

Wheeling is poppin' off with the food halls all around town. Centre Market is probably the biggest…read moremarket in the area, but it ain't even the only one. Do West Virginians love their food halls? Maybe so. Centre Market has the famous Coleman's Fish Market, plus a second location of Tito's Sloppy Doggs (called Tito's in the Market House), a cheese shop and Michael's Beef House, home of the original roast beef sandwich. There's a building that's not physically connected but still part of Centre Market, and it houses a coffee shop, a hand-pie bakery, an ice cream shop and an art gallery. This part of Centre Market also has comfy couches and games to play, so if you're looking for an area to hang out and stay a while, this part of Centre Market is your spot. I love a good food hall, and Centre Market is a good place to visit if you're looking to find something to eat but don't know what you want. There's something for everyone here, and it's all local, which is great.

Awww, man, there is so much potential here and I can tell Wheeling is really working hard to…read morerevitalize downtown. On a Thursday afternoon the market area was mostly empty and desolate, but the vendors who were operating were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Makes me sad that Wheeling used to be THE city in which to see and be seen. We bought a few sweets and sausages from local vendors and I am sure I could have spent WAY more money here. The building reminds me of the marketplace in Charleston SC on a much smaller scale. I hope these vendors can make it and I wish them a major boost of life and vitality. Everything about Wheeling: the number of Victorian homes, the historic businesses, and the centre market have so much offer, if only a little love continues to go into downtown.

If you do one of the animal encounters like my family and I did, then your experience will definitely be great. We got to go into the area where the sloth and tamarins live and feed them treats! We also got to gently pet the sloth, and watch the tamarins scurry around their living area. Tamarins are super curious and playful creatures -- they kept wanting to dangle over our heads, and they also have toys that they play with. The sloth moved about, too, but very slowly, as a sloth is wont to do. I think it's cool that two different kinds of animals, sloths and tamarins, can live together peacefully. I felt very honored to be allowed into the home they share. You can also do animal encounters with porcupines, cheetahs, bobcats, maned wolves, red pandas and other creatures. Afterward, we walked around the outdoor part of the zoo, which is on the small side. Some of the animals were out, like a pack of wolves just kickin' it in the late afternoon sun. For the most part, though, the zoo was deserted. The train was not running, the activities were closed and none of the concession stands were open. We visited in the off season, though. So if you visit during a month that is not warm, expect a desolate outdoor experience. The indoor part of the zoo is very fun for kids, though, especially young kids. There are lots of animal exhibits to see (this is where the red panda lives). There are also just lots of fun activities and toys to play with indoors. It would be a nice place to visit on a rainy day if you have a young child.

I had recently heard about this trail, so today was the first time checking it out. I believe the…read moretrail goes for two miles, so it is a four mile hike round-trip. There are 10 markers along the trail, which at first we thought they were 10ths of a mile, but in retrospect we think the trail was just broken up into ten segments (not entirely sure). The trail starts off next to a parking area across the street from a gift shop. There are signs indicating the beginning of the trail, and a big aluminum staircase to get you from street level to the trail level. This was formerly a railroad, so I imagine there used to be a big trestle here at one time. Walking along the beginning of the trail is not too exciting, and you also hear a lot of highway noise from I-70. You pass behind a Dollar General store, and then you walk next to a gravel road until a bend in the trail, where it becomes a little more quiet, and then you see the first big highlight of the trail, an old train tunnel built in the 1800s (Marked Tunnel No. 3). This tunnel is curved inside so you cannot see the exit until about half way through. It wasn't totally dark but it's a good idea to bring a flashlight. Continuing on a ways, you encounter a second railroad tunnel (There is a sign indicating this is Tunnel #4). Soon after exiting the second tunnel, you reach the end of the trail, where there is a picnic table and some cool big rocks. There are several places to sit down along the trail to include a bench, and several tables with benches. There are also some garbage cans, and some bags to clean up pet waste. There was also an exercise area that was built by an Eagle Scout. There were no bathroom facilities along the trail, but I did see two port-a-potties near the Dollar store, but not sure if they were for trail use or not. It was a nice hike, and I am glad to have checked it out. Some spots were muddy, and gravelly, so you may wanna wear hiking boots, but overall not too bad. You could also ride a mountain bike with no problems. The grass along the trail had been mowed recently, which was great. There were also lots of Spring wildflowers. Overall, I would rate this trail pretty good, and may come back again in the future . . . Cheers!

4.5 stars overall. The Highlands is a shopping complex that opened a while ago but still looks new…read more As of 2024, this shopping complex includes about 30 retail stores, 26 restaurants, 7 hotels, 28 service businesses, 3 entertainment businesses, 3 vehicle dealerships, and 3 industrial businesses. The stores sell accessories, clothing, footwear, electronics, furniture, craft supplies, home decor, home-improvement products, pet supplies, video games, chocolates, etcetera. The stores are definitely not upscale (e.g., Best Buy, Cabela's, JCPenney, Kohl's, Menards, Old Navy, Target, and Walmart), but they sell what local people need. The restaurants serve cuisines such as burgers, fried chicken, pizzas, Mexican foods, Japanese foods, steaks, ice creams, etcetera. Most restaurants are chains (e.g., Bob Evans, Eat 'n Park, Fusion Steakhouse, Jimmy John's, Primanti Bros., and Texas Roadhouse), and all have a casual atmosphere. Service businesses provide healthcare, nail and hair styling, cell-phone plans, banking, etcetera. Entertainment includes a movie theater, simulated golf, and a sports complex. Over the past several years, I have visited this shopping center multiple times. It is conveniently located for people who live near Wheeling city, Eastern Ohio, or Southwestern Pennsylvania and for people who are traveling through the area.
