There’s no place to write an overall review PIB itself.

My friends and I had selected, for the last two years, PIB as the destination of our Girls Weekend. We range from late twenties to late thirties. We are all educated and established in our careers and relationships. These weekends we tend to ignore financially responsible decisions and live in the moment.

Unfortunately this past weekend we were annoyed and displeased to the point of discussing a change of location for next year. The consistent ambiguity of food, drink and service pricing at several establishments, the smell of weed everywhere and the rude service were our issues. Why are we spending our time and money at PIB? Several instances due to the above listed issues took away from our weekend. If PIB is catering to the indelicate, their goal has been achieved. We likened it to a carnival. We will not be returning next year.

Loved learning about all the history and what this monument represents. It’s an amazing structure, free to visit, and doesn’t take much time. Check it out.

What a tombstone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sylvia 4-star = amazing. The world larger Greek Doric column and 3rd largest USA National Park Monument at 352 total height. It may look plain, but if you have a pass, go up 317 feet to the observation deck or $10 for ages 16 and over. The grounds around it are being updated to make it more attractive. Oh, and you can see Canada!

Really nice NPS site, the observation tower is cool to go up to (but be warned it is super windy up there!) The 15 min movie in the visitor's center was very well done. We especially loved the musket demonstration by a few of the rangers.

Very nice but small museum. Very informative displays. Short video was well done. Not hands on for small children, but for military or history enthusiast, a great visit. No cover charge.

This is our 4th visit to Put-In-Bay, but our first to utilize the observation deck! The views were amazing and even though I’m afraid of heights, was not the least bit scary.
The team of National Park associates were there to answer questions about the War of 1812 and Perry’s involvement.
Very helpful and they made it more interesting with all of their facts!

The monument is nice and the views from the platform are beautiful. Easy to find, simply look up and you can find it from the main drag.

Unfortunately the monument observation deck was closed due to lack of staffing. The visitors center had a movie explaining the battle and displays and artifacts. The covid protocols were inconvenient for getting in and out. Easy golf cart parking.
