10 Things to do in Mansfield That You Shouldn't Miss
Despite having provided the backdrop to several Hollywood films, Mansfield manages to keep its all-American small town vibe. Its charming Main Street and Historic Carrousel District boast unique shops, galleries and an antique hand-carved carousel. The landmark Ohio State Reformatory has been the setting to several films, including The Shawshank Redemption and Air Force One. Mansfield's action-packed racing scene thrives at Mansfield Motorsports Park and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

I called and got an appointment to surprise my husband with a tour as he’s been a volunteer fireman for 30 years. We met with Bobby Shook and he gave us the best tour we could of ever asked for! He was so informative and funny. There are some really cool older fire trucks that all came with a great story. I can’t thank Bobby enough for the time he took to show us around and share his knowledge with us!! My husband was like a little kid, listening to stories and checking out all the cool stuff. Even though this isn’t a huge museum, they had a nice variety of older fire trucks and equipment. It is definitely worth a visit! They continue to grow and if we are ever back in the area, we will be stopping back in!

Well researched and displayed. This museum has integrity and a sound theological base. Even serious students of the Bible and church history will find it informative and inspiring, unlike the gaudy and off-putting Creation Museum in Kentucky. The museum offers several self-guided tours and one can spend 3 hours or just an hour there. Plus there are odd Bible paraphernalia from across the globe. Don’t be put off by the bleached out silk flowers and older carpeting. . . This museum is well worth stopping in.

We toured the gardens and the estate on a Saturday morning right after opening. The gardens are immaculately kept and the mansion was interesting to see. We were there about two hours but could have easily stayed longer if we didn’t have tickets already for another attraction that afternoon. Well worth the visit and very affordable!

We went tubing down the slopes with a large group. It was a blast. We tested out the different lanes to find the one that we liked the best. I'd recommended laying in your tube so that your rear is lifted a bit. Otherwise you'll be in for some bumps. Lots of fun for all ages. Although no one in our party was injured, we did see several injuries (both on the tubing slope and on the skiing slopes. Be forewarned.
