🎉 Today marks six months since The Rabbit hOle opened! 🎉
Since March 12, 2024 we have welcomed more than 90,000 guests from all 50 states and beyond, sold more than 30,000 books, served 1,086 Chompo Bars...
But there's much more we cannot measure: https://t.co/OcaEn1Iq3H
With the spotlight on the City of Fountains for #816Day, here’s the new fountain near our Strega Nona exhibit in The Rabbit hOle. ⛲️ Artist/fabricator Kelli made fish that appear to be suspended in the water by painting a little bit at a time as she added layers of epoxy.
Since we opened in March, we’ve had visitors from every state EXCEPT North Dakota, Vermont, and Delaware!
Help us get to all 50 by commenting and tagging someone you know who lives in these states and should visit The Rabbit hOle.
A year ago, our artist/fabricators were in the beginning stages of piecing together the kitchen, building some of the furniture from scratch and retrofitting several vintage pieces.

Our Blueberries for Sal exhibit recreates the duotone kitchen illustrated in the end papers of the book. But instead of Sal and her mother canning blueberries, we often see families gathered around the table reading the book. 💙

We noticed Petunia looking proud and reading the latest issue of @people, which includes The Rabbit hOle as one of its 25 Things to Eat, See and Do This Summer! 💥
Take a gander at the full list: https://t.co/jYJWKiZJUL
The Rabbit hOle is meant to be experienced together, and still provide different points of access and perspective for each person. Thank you Lauren for sharing this reflection of this "pinch me" moment on a recent visit.

…and another item that makes hockey great: ONE timeout allotted per team per GAME! And during that timeout, the players in the game stand on the ice…no one brings seats for them…the coaching staff is prepared and efficient with their time. @NHL@espn@TBSNetwork@hockey_ohio
Hard to believe that this time last year we'd just finished the exterior shell of Frances' house.

It took a forklift and 5 people to install the palm tree at the center of our Sam and the Tigers exhibit earlier this week. Now we need to add the palm leaves. 🌴

This is a bunny.
His name is Nicholas.
You can find him and at least 11 more bunnies at The Rabbit hOle on #Easter. We’ll be open this Sunday 12-5pm: https://t.co/LIKoKCWW1x.

Since we announced our March 12, 2024 opening date, we've received many wonderful questions. Check out https://t.co/tqffpX0IyN and stay tuned as we highlight them on social media. First up, What is The Rabbit hOle?
Today at The Rabbit hOle it’s cloudy with a 100% chance of rain! 🌧️ Be sure to find a toadstool to keep dry underneath. 🍄

Unreal. Mayfield Freshman JD Sega scored both goals in Wildcats 2-1 win over Aurora. Mayfield only has 7 skaters. He played almost entire game. Then with less than 5 minutes in go in game. He did this.. #nhl
