A Shooting Gallery, sometimes called the Mechanical Shooting Gallery, or combined with the Rifle Range was part of Olentangy Park for most of the park's run. Sometimes, the attraction was an open outdoor area - possibly a booth.[1] In the early 1900s, it was located near the Crystal Maze. It most likely had toy guns and/or water guns and visitors used them to hit targets to win prizes.
In 1916, two rifles were stolen from the Shooting Gallery.[2]
Originally located just south of the Red Devil,[3] new shooting gallery was added on the Midway near the Dancing Pavilion in 1929.[4] It was still in operation in 1933.[5]
