Wellington Reservation - Lorain County Metro Parks

Reviewed By k p - Cleveland, Ohio

I wouldn't want to go on trails without knowing how long they are and where they go.There were no maps any where to say where you were going. Visitor center just had a few pictures on the walls and a small meeting room. Restrooms can be accessed from outside and inside. Small playground by visitor center. Paddle boats in summer, first come, first served.

Common Ground Canopy Tours

Reviewed By J A B

Awesome experience!! They teach and ease you into the experience with 'ground school'. The ziplines start out low and by the time you get to the highest and the end we were wishing it wasn't over. Our guides, Sara and Jess were great!!! This is one adventure you can't miss. Plus it's super reasonable!

Matus Winery

Reviewed By Kelly D

Our first visit to the Matus Winery was enjoyable! They had a food truck with wood fired oven pizzas and their wine selection was good. The night that we were there they had a guitarist/singer that made for a fun atmosphere. Their patio was open but it was a little chilly for us so we stayed inside. They also serve beer.

Carlisle Reservation

Try birdwatching from either the observation area or on a hike.

Reviewed By KansasSunflower09 - Kansas

Beautiful park with nice walking trails. Nature center with various raptors available for viewing and used in nature programs. Also has equestrian trails as well, and a small lake for fishing. Nature Center has lots of activities for children. Well-maintained and beautiful trails!

Findley State Park

Amongst the beech, maple and pine lie a lake, and many bird species.

Reviewed By WYphotographer - Moran, Wyoming

A surprisingly nice park. Very clean campground with nice tree buffers between the rows. Lots of trails and a disc golf course that looked challenging. The mountain bike trail is surprisingly challenging with lots of roots, turns and obstacles to ride over if you choose ( you can go around most of the log piles). The map shows it as a one way trail, but the trail signs show alternate directions based on the day of the week. I jumped on the trail in a non traditional spot and got some nasty looks before I found a trail sign and turned around to go the other direction. Once the trail intersects with the parking lots and the disc golf course I could no longer follow it and ended up riding the roads back, a few more signs would be nice. Looking forward to a return trip here.

Allen Memorial Art Museum

Reviewed By Darrell L - Broadview Heights, Ohio

The Allen Memorial Art Museum is a great gem of a museum. One wouldn't think that a college campus would house as impressive A colletion of art as Oberlin College. When my friend and I visited, the contemporary galleries were closed for an exhibit installation. That didn't deter us as a sampling of the contemporary art was on display, including two Warhol pieces. The museum also houses a small, but mighty, collection of religious art from the Renaissance, Japanese prints, African art, and more. It may not be as large as the well-known art museums of the world but this Italianate building is no less impressive.

Grey Hawk Golf Club

Reviewed By Kenneth_Smith - Stirling, United Kingdom

I played the talon which was seriously tough but great fun. The service from start to finish was incredible and the staff must all come from a modelling agency.
The club house is fantastic as was the food and service.
The front nine is challenging; and my favourite hole had to be the 5th sentinel a fantastic wee par 3.
Now I was two down at the turn and pulled it back to one down and arrived at the 17th 56 degree lob and landed it 1 yard from the pin! Best shot off the day. Loved the 12 and 13 great holes!
Could go on all day!

Caley National Wildlife Woods

This 500-acre wetlands reserve is home to numerous types of waterfowl.

Reviewed By Steve1362 - Avon, Ohio

Owned by the National Wildlife Federation but managed by the Lorain County Metro Parks, this park is better known as the Caley Reservation and is actually located closer to the small township of Pittsfield. The Caley Reservation can be easily found by heading east on Whitney Rd from OH-58 about 1 mile south of OH-303. After about 2 miles, Whitney Rd dead ends into West Rd; from here, go south and the entrance is 0.2 mile down on the east side of West Rd. Visiting mid-morning on a Saturday in spring, there were only two other cars in the lot and there were no other signs of people during my visit. The park features a short trail, several small ponds, creeks, forest, fields and wetlands resulting in a diversity of wildflowers and birds despite visiting a little late in the morning. This place is a wonderfully peaceful spot for bird watching and photography. With the ponds attracting a range of waterfowl the best times to visit are early morning or evenings in the spring or fall but the diverse habitat will support birds and wildflowers through the summer as well.

Oberlin College

Reviewed By brian_va - Virginia

This is going to be listed as an unbiased review by a TripAdvisor member. Haha! I graduated from Oberlin College (class of 1967) and am planning to move back into the town. In addition, I recently asked a famous flute professor at the Conservatory to help me get rid of what turned out to be a professional quality flute (and needed by a second-year Conservatory student who didn't have a decent flute), and since then I've been treated by the professor, student and Conservatory dean as though I helped them rather than the other way around. So you can guess how unbiased I am. Nevertheless, this is an excellent place to visit. There are markers for the Underground Railroad, there's a Martin Luther King, Jr. park, the excellent Allen Art Museum, bike paths, more parks, a Frank Lloyd Wright building, and interesting architecture of the college itself, one of the first to accept women and African Americans and which includes one of the best conservatories in the country with both classical and jazz programs and several hundred musical performances a year! Top this off with some very good restaurants. I've just begun to sample them, but so far Wild Mango is at least one that is exceptional.

Weltzheimer/Johnson House Frank Lloyd Wright Building

Reviewed By Zzardvark

If your a Wrightophile but you're not in Oberlin on one of the few days the house is open, don't worry. Like many Usonian houses, the yard facing side is all windows and you can see virtually every room from the outside. Clearly, it's better to get inside but don't let that stop you from going over there. The grounds are always open. If you ask the guards at the Allen Art Museum, they'll give you a map and if you ask them how to approach from the Cul-de-sac, you'll be able to park in the drive and walk around. It's good sized for a Usonian and the furniture seems to all be there. The exterior's a bit rough but it's all there and quite impressive.
