★★★★★Amber BWent to the park for the Banjos and Bigfoot festival. Loved hearing the two bands that I got to see. The welcome center is beautiful and the park is very clean. It rained during the event, but that didn't diminish any of my enjoyment while at the park! Will return if in the area
★★★★★Theresa WhiteAmazing place. So educational and the buck hall of fame is awesome.
★★L WAttended fall fest, definitely kid friendly and free. Recommend for 0-8 year olds....no activities or food for my 16 and 12 year old. I should have researched it better (that's on me). For the younger kiddos- probably a blast. For anyone else- waste of a drive. I thought they would have crafts and vendors and they didnt. The petting zoo was 20 animals in a 20x10 cage and you couldn't go in. (Pigs were cute as a button though).
★★★★★Jon and Jen WolfeA Wild Weekend at Deerassic Classic – Even Without the Big Win!** I spent this past weekend at the Deerassic Classic, and let me tell you—it was an absolute blast, even though I left with no trophies to brag about (except maybe a slight sunburn)! First off, Deerassic Park is the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and community spirit. The event was packed with energy, great music, and the smell of BBQ in the air—enough to make any carnivore's mouth water. The organizers did a fantastic job, making sure there was never a dull moment, whether you were into live music, watching the raffles, or just soaking in the camaraderie of fellow outdoors enthusiasts. Now, about those raffles. It turns out, Lady Luck took a weekend off just when I needed her most. Despite my best efforts (and more raffle tickets than I’d care to admit), I didn’t walk away with a new ATV, crossbow, or even a humble gift card. But hey, who needs a new set of wheels when you've got memories of an amazing time with friends? Right? The atmosphere was electric, and the sheer variety of activities ensured that everyone had something to enjoy. From watching kids marvel at the educational exhibits to joining in on some spirited conversations with fellow attendees, it was clear that the Deerassic Classic is about more than just winning—it’s about experiencing the great outdoors and having a whole lot of fun along the way. Even without the jackpot, I left Deerassic Park with a full heart, a full stomach, and plans to come back next year—where I’m sure that’s when my lucky streak will finally kick in (right?). Until then, I’ll cherish the memories and maybe start saving up for even more raffle tickets! If you’ve never been to the Deerassic Classic, you’re missing out on one of the best weekends Ohio has to offer. Just remember: you might not win the grand prize, but you’ll definitely leave feeling like a winner.
★★★★★Alex KentThis is a phenomenal education center with both display and experiential learning opportunities. I’d highly recommend visiting in you’re in the area. I happened to be there as part of the “Film The Hunt” school which I’d also highly recommend for anyone interested in outdoor videography.
