My husband and I stopped here on way to an event. Loved this place as I am a science teacher! Lots of young families with kids having a ball. Bring toothbrushes to wash off fossils and wear old shoes. A digging tool would also be a good idea. Great fun and learning opportunity!

Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon. The displays is wonderful and presents the butterflies in their beautiful natural setting..great chance to get up close for super pictures and the info signs that are posted give a lot of great facts. Outside area/garden is very nice and perfect for some photo opportunities. Cost may seem a little high but it is beautifully maintained..

I have taken several classes at 577. Jewelry making was my favorite I went into the "classroom" and found several different stones and beads. I made three pair of earrings and a necklace. The lady who was teaching the class had several helpful hints to make things go smoothly she was very helpful.My husband also singled me up to a a basket weaving class of all things not at all my favorite but the other people in the class and the persons teaching the class made it more fun than it would have been otherwise.

Picturesque park to capture deer, birds, Fox, squirrels ducks and Canadian Geese And sometimes an Eagle hunting for dinner in the Maumee River! Nature trails on both sides of River Road and a bird watching sanctuary close to the Anthony Wayne Trail! Great park to capture graduation and wedding photos for sure! Enjoy!

Stopped over the weekend while we were in the area. Was surprised at how extensive the offerings were. Everything from glass, to pottery, paintings, home decor, jewelry and everything in between. A few things were pricey, but there were lots of things to fit in anyone's budget. Fun place to browse.

Family owned business. They offer a variety of pick-your-own opportunities. They also offer fruit and other treats in their store.
Once a year, in September, they sponsor "Apples for Everyone". They donate apples to different food banks in the area and ask people in the community to pick the apples. They make a little festival out of it. I look forward to participating every year.
7. Fort Meigs Ohio's War of 1812 Battlefield
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 131 reviews
Built during the War of 1812 by William Henry Harrison, Fort Meigs successfully defended Ohio from a combined force of British and Native Americans during the spring and summer of 1813. It also served as the step-off point for General Harrison's invasion of Canada in the fall of that year. Reconstructed in the 1970s and again in 2000 on its original location, Fort Meigs stands today to tell the story of the thousands of soldiers who lived, fought, and died there over 200 years ago. In addition to the reconstructed fort, a visitor center and museum are also located on the site, housing hundreds of artifacts discovered during archaeological digs of the battlefield.

Not up to the par of National forts. You can not use your senior National parks pass. An earthen fort. It's being restored. The attached museum is good, nice displays and very good historical information. Open Wednesday to Saturday 9:30- 5:00 and Sunday 12 - 5:00. The musket firing was good and the "soldier" very informative. The exhibits inside the fort are okay. Hopefully they will continue to upgrade the interior of the fort. The workers were great and friendly. We were still glad we made the trip and if you enjoy the history you will too.

You can visit the park many, many times and still find something new to see and do! I live close by and visit often, but never ceased to be amazed at the new places within it and the new rare species which exist. From the sand dunes to the bike trails to Tornado Alley to Mallard Lake, there are so many different habitats to explore in one trip or many. So many rare things to appreciate! Truly the best of the Toledo Area MetroParks!

This Antique Mall has a wide variety of merchandise. Each vendor's spot seems to be easily accessible. The place is HUGE! We spent at least 2 hours there and only saw about half. The staff was helpful and professional. If you like antiques, you will enjoy this place!

We took our kayaks there and we weren’t disappointed. They have the best kayak launch. Only downfall is the walk from the parking lot to the launch.
