Timber & Bow Play Studio
Timber & Bow Play Studio in Troy started as a vision shared by two local moms realizing the need for a fun, clean, LOCAL place to bring kiddos during the day.
This studio allows kids to be kids and play away from home with developmentally appropriate activities for infants, toddlers and preschoolers aged 6 years and younger. Kids can experience the large wooden playset, the quaint playhouse and garden shed. This kind of play encourages gross motor, fine motor, and imaginative play.
Timber & bow also offers a place to have parties for up to 40 guests with a personal party assistant available to help.
Check out Timber & bow for kid’s fun playtime and your next party!
Brukner Nature Center
Brukner Nature Center is a non-profit, privately funded organization promoting the appreciation and understanding of wildlife conservation.
The Interpretive Building has many rainy-day items to enjoy for the entire family.
The wildlife art exhibit is always on display and changes often. There will be a new exhibit opening soon. The nature library is full of field guides, nature writings, DVD’s and much more. The kids’ special section is loaded with nature picture books.
Also, visit the 1804 Iddings Log House. The house holds an important place in the history of Miami County. In 1976 the log house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and was restored in 1981. Stop in and read the history.
Your trip won’t be complete without stopping at the nature gift shop to see unique items, books, t-shirts, birdhouses, and their own “Brukner Blend” coffee.

Tipp City Pizza
The newest restaurant and entertainment in Tipp City just opened, pizza and duckpin bowling!
Why is it called duckpin bowling? According to legend, the sport got its name because the small pins resemble the bodies of ducks in flight. Duckpin bowling balls are just the right size for small hands.
This unique experience requires no bowling shoes! This is still 10-pin bowling with a shorter lane, smaller ball, and lighter pins. Up to 6 people can play in a lane.
There is a menu of starters and a variety of woodfired specialty pizzas. Also, a full bar selection.
Stop in, reserve a lane, and enjoy the woodfired pizza!
