Five Places To Visit In Reynoldsburg (Part Two)

Reynoldsburg isn't a city known for it's interesting locations. It's not that the city lacks in aesthetically pleasing locals, its just that the attractions Reynoldsburg boasts are places not immediately known to the public. These attractions range from local businesses, which offer the small town charm we love about Reynoldsburg, to natural parks.

The beauty in Reynoldsburg lies not only in it's settings, but also in the people who make it all worth while. With all of this in mind we decided to write a few articles detailing some of the exact places we think anyone (whether a local resident or a visitor) should visit in Reynoldsburg. Each article will detail five places, and for the second iteration we have some of the best places to get dessert, take photos, and enjoy on the list.
