Falls of the Ohio Gift Shop Information

The Falls of the Ohio State Park gift shop has a variety on low-cost fossils and minerals, priced from 50 cents and up.The gift shop closes 30 minutes before the Interpretive Center every day.

This is a great place to buy local specimens - none from the park of course! Inventory varies. We strive to provide accurate labels as much as possible!
