We were staying at Shawnee State Park, and decided to visit Serpent Mound. The route our GPS ordered was hilly, winding, and extremely rural, but passed through several tiny villages and at least 6 or seven churches in 20 miles. There was an unmanned admission booth asking a payment of $7 per car to be paid in the gift shop.... More

This is a great place to take the children and have a history lesson. I am not sure I would travel a great distance out of my way to visit, but definitely worth going to if you have the opportunity.

Went here as a child, not to busy, very informative. Truely a unique piece of history- much larger in scale than other mounds.

Visited this "World Heritage Site" on a gorgeous mid-August weekday. Started at the modest museum where we paid $7/CAR (minus $1 if you are a AAA member). The museum features exhibits including interpretations of the effigy's form, description of the construction of the mound, a geographical history of the area, as well as an exhibit on the ancient people credited...

It is an interesting place to visit especially if you are into history and strange landmarks. I went off season so the museum was not opened and I had to do my research before I got there to understand what I was looking at. There are a few signs with info on it but limited. I enjoyed the visit. There... More

We spent a morning at the Serpent Mound in the rain. We learned a lot and had fun despite the weather.
