The way the serpent was formed using the natural lay of the environment was fascinating. The tower provided a good overlook of the serpent. The video was informative. Staff were friendly and I loved it when the woman brought out a boa constrictor to show us. Small site but well worth a stop.

The Serpent Mound has a very nice visitor center and gift shop, but the Mound is incredible to walk around. It's great that they have the Observation Tower - without it the visit would be less impressive.

This effigy mound is a must see. The observation tower allows one to see it in its entirety. The alignments are marked and very interesting. There is another mound on the property and it seems to point at something across the way... There is also a cute little museum and gift shop

Serpent Mound is important due to the accidental destruction by the early settlers of such important works. Owned by a Historical Society and maintained for tourists, Serpent Mound is the last maintained and preserved, large effigy mound in the U.S. Since visiting this remnant of a vast pre-Columbian civilization that ranged from Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico- the "mound builders", it has now become a starting point for further inquiry. Recently my sister moved near a mound in Safety Harbor, FL. When you consider the trade routes and the neeed on multiple levels, you start to get a picture. So much to learn and serpent mound is just a very memorable and well preserved piece of a gigantic puzzle of what was before the Europeans.

This is a great stop for views of the local area and to take you back to 4th grade Ohio history. I have always wanted to see this effigy mound, it is really incredible. There is a platform you can climb to get an arial view and a path around the whole thing. There is a small center where you can read about the history and how it was built. A must stop for nature lovers and history buffs.

Hour drive or less from Cincinnati Serpent Mounds wonderful place to enjoy with any history buff, see Amish Stores in Adams county. Beautiful countryside , quaint little churches , rolling hills. So close to big city yet here you are in the country. I think it was 8 or 10 dollars to get in the park , visitor's center. Easy access , paved path leads around the Serpent Mound . Wonderful to have ancient Indian mound here in Ohio.

The Great Serpent Mound in Southern Ohio may be the largest mound effigy. Located in Adams County, Ohio near Locust Grove, it is shrouded in mystery as to who these ancient builders were and how they may have known to build the effigy on the rim of a 350 million year old meteorite strike. The impact, one of only 28 known in the United States, suggests a crater rim of about 14 Km in diameter. This impact would have devastated all life within a radius of 7 km. The actual mound is shaped like a snake with open jaws and an oval-shaped embankment, sometimes interpreted as a sun symbol or egg. These mysteries, and the fact that "Friends of Serpent Mound" help to maintain the facility in very fine condition, creates a wonderful opportunity for the visitor to view both near and very distant history.

We traveled all the way from Washington State just to see this amazing animal effigy mound - beautifully and respectfully maintained by folks who care! I consider this site on par with Stonehenge and the Pyramids at Giza - stunning geometrical and astronomical calculations went into its creation demonstrating that its creators were sophisticated thinkers. :) I had broken my foot the day before and did find the elevated platform challenging but worth the step by step climb!$8.00 Parking Fee

We visited on a perfect Fall day. Although the drive takes a bit of time, it is really worth it. Countryside is beautiful. The park has left the mound tell it's own story. It is refreshing thatit has not been commercialized in anyway. Little ones will like the gift shop. Take time to watch the video clips, really interesting.

I first visited Serpent Mound in 1938 when I was 7 years old. It made me imagine what life was like in Ohio during the Fort Ancient Culture times, about 600 years earlier. I re-visited the site this month, 76 years later. The tower that you climb to see the whole construction looked about the same, but the mound seemed to be smaller - perhaps because I was a lot smaller myself on that long-ago visit. We visited this time about sunset and the low sun angle highlighted the contours of the serpent. The museum was closed which bodes well for another visit.
