Travel Butler County, Ohio — Attraction in West Chester Township

The Donut Trail is SUPER FUN & awesome!! We’ve done it twice and it took about 4hrs, start to finish, each time. Most of the shops had a greater supply of their speciality donuts on Saturday. My reason for the low score has to do with the actual visitor center. We took my husband on the Donut Trail for his birthday and the passport was his birthday card.... signed by all our kids plus the stamps from each shop. When I went to get his tshirt, I was told that we could not keep the original passport. I asked if a copy could be made. The answer was yes, but we would not be able to keep the original. They “needed it for their records.” I explained that a copy should be sufficient for the “records,” but was met with resistance. The part that irritated me the most was that the women making this difficult would not step out of their cubicles to talk to me. They told the girl at the desk what to say and she only knew how to robotically repeat the same 2-3 sentences over and over, unable to reason with why I felt it was reasonable for us to keep the original. What’s the big deal? Why was it a problem? End of story.... I gave in and left their precious original passport for “the records,” and took the tshirt. This is merely a heads-up warning for anyone planning a similar adventure. Take lots of pictures because you won’t get to keep the passport as a keepsake...

Spent some time doing the donut trail over the weekend (both the t-shirt, and the go trail). The geo trail was very well organized and maintained. The center staff were kind enough to go ahead and give us our t-shirt for the other trail despite the fact that we missed a stop (FYI Stan the Donut Man was already closed by 10am). We arrived at the visitors center with everything complete at about 12pm to find staff was out to lunch. So we killed 20 minutes finding other nearby geocaches, and returned with about 10 minutes left until they were set to return, but a lady went ahead and let us in anyway. The center contained lots of brochures and pamphlets so that even those not interested in doing the donut trail could surely find something fun to do. We'll look forward to doing this again sometime next year after they revamp the t-shirts...

My girlfriends and I spent 3 days in Butler County shopping, eating and completing the Donut Trail. We enjoyed our time meeting some very nice and friendly people at each donut shop. However, upon returning to the Travel Butler County Visitors Bereau to turn in our passports and collect our t-shirts our reception was not the friendly one we were expecting. It seemed as if we were a bother and were being hustled out. Having talked with someone from the office days earlier who was very upbeat and encouraged us to do the trail saying we would have so much fun we were very...
