This tiny store is so skillfully organized as to feel airy. And it's full of original, fun, and mind-expanding toys for all ages. I wanted to buy everything there. The sales staff was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic (I suspect they also want to play with everything in the store, too!) I will be going back to get the glow cubes (for kids baths) to use in cocktails.

1000-acre nature preserve with 25 miles of trails. The "Yellow Spring" of which the town takes it's name can be found here.

This was our first time visiting Yellow Springs. We parked at the Quarry Street parking lot which was $5 to park. The Ecological Center as well as bathrooms were closed at the the time due to COVID. So you will need to go into town to use the bathroom (we just went to Young’s Dairy Farm). You are asked to wear your mask when passing others on the path and people were good about doing so. You can download a map once you get there. Signs are posted along the trail saying one way or two way so make sure you are going the correct direction. We didn’t have any issues getting around. We wore hiking boots which made it easy to hike the trails. We loved it and would love to go back again to hike more of Glen Helen. On this trip we got to see the The Grotto, The Old Dam Bridge, The Yellow Spring, Helen’s Stone, The Cascade’s, and Pompey’s Pillar. Would recommend for a fun day of hiking!
5. Little Art Theatre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
Reviewed By AMChs1957 - Yellow Springs, United States
Few American town with fewer than 4,000 people have a movie theater. But Yellow Springs isn't the usual town. The Little Art Theatre began in 1929, and in 2009 was made a non-profit and overhauled. The result is a comfortable, cozy movie theater that brings villagers (and visitors) together with movies, a number of local programs (talks by successful local authors, special movies and programs for youngsters, a New Years Eve "party," etc.) The theater was gutted and overhauled, emerging with digital projectors above and a remodeled interior with comfortable seating below, and even tall sitting tables in the back if you want to sip and snack there. You will feel comfortable, not lost or alone, in this movie house that brings people together in a snug, delightful place. Of course, the main thing is that you have to want to see the movie.
6. Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve

The Fall foliage was one of the reasons I chose to visit Ohio in October, and I wasn’t disappointed. Clifton Gorge has a variety of scenic trails worth hiking. I found a good walking stick to help with the sometimes rocky pathways. Make sure to parking in the Nort Street parking lot because it is the beginning of three separate trails, one of which leads to the Blue Hole, the subject of a famous painting that hangs in the Cincinnati Muesum.

First sunny day in a long time, we hopped in the car and drove to yellow springs. Shopped, ate breakfast at the mill and had a beer here before we drove home. Perfect day!

Young’s Dairy is not just about cows! The attraction has something for everyone, from incredible homemade ice cream and their famous cheese curds in their store and restaurant to putt putt golf, farm tours and even an adjacent Christmas tree farm. Pies and gift cards are available for the perfect holiday gift.
9. John Bryan State Park

Reviewed By BloomChemist - Morrow, United States
First snow trilliums are beginning to bloom in the gorge! (March 10, 2021) John Bryan State Park is one of my favorite places to hike with wildflowers. Also found a first hepatica blooming and a bit of harbinger of spring. It's great that the south bridge has reopened, allowing for a loop walk inside the gorge.
