  • Our trip to Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, OH, was an unforgettable adventure. The store, spanning an impressive 200,000 square feet, offered a vast array of unique fruits, vegetables, and ethnic foods from every corner of the globe. We marveled at several animatronics scattered throughout the store, adding a fun and whimsical touch to our shopping experience. Over the course of five hours, we explored every aisle, discovering and purchasing $200 worth of unique food items we had never seen before. The variety and novelty of the products made the trip truly special and memorable.

    I grew up 10-15 minutes from the original location in Fairfield, in the 80s & 90s. So, obviously we went there for our produce, at least once a month. They had the best produce in greater Cincinnati, the best fresh fish, and eventually the best EVERYTHING! I remember it's smaller incarnations, and the improvements along the way. I had no idea that it was such a special and unique store until I was older, 'cause of course everyone has a store near them like this, right?!? As an adult, I realized what a true gem this place was/is, and even though I no longer live near enough to shop there regularly, I try to make a trip there at least once a year, if I can help it. Best to leave the credit cards at home, though. It's so easy to overspend your budget in this foodie Mecca. They have just about everything.

    I live near Cincinnati and have often shopped at Jungle Jim's but I have never seen most of the stuff in the first part of the video because I usually head straight for the deli and cheese section, then the meat, produce, and international groceries. It's a great place for unusual items when you cook adventurously.

      I'd be in big trouble if I lived close to this place. I spent almost $200 and none of that was perishable items! Amazing store.

    FYI, The building out back called Oscar Station is very much used! It's a great bar and party area that is open at various times.

    There used to be an amusement park along Route 4. Jim bought quite a few of the animatronics and decorations from it initially. He also built a 2nd location on the East Side near Eastgate Mall.

      I knew about the other location. There was just no way we were going to get there as well.

    Spent 5 or 6 years, it’s my favorite place to shop. Back 1985 when I’m back in area I try to find a way back. Only place I could find German food.

    Jim Bonaminio is a bit of a magpie. If he thinks it's interesting and it's available, he will buy it and put it at his stores (there are two).
    The monorail was part of the Kings Island Safari that ran the late '80s or early '90s. I'm not sure when it ended. But when they stopped doing their animal safari, he bought the monorail.
    If I remember correctly, there should still be three sections of seats that look like they came from a stadium - a section of green, a section of blue, and a section of red. Those all came from the old Riverfront stadium, the shared venue for the Bengals and the Reds.
    Coney Island was, until very recently, an amusement park here, southeast of town down by the river. They sold quite a few of their rides to Kings Island forever ago but others they kept until they started shutting down rides, and when they shut down rides Jim was one of the people who bought them.
    That place is dangerous, even with a list. It is fortunately too far away for me to shop there regularly, but it's not too far from my parents house, so every time I go see them or my sister's it's always a risk. 😏

      I'm not sure if I should be jealous or be happy for you. Close enough to visit occasionally would be great. We have something here in Lansing Michigan that is similar but much, much smaller. I did a video on it about a year and a half ago it's called Horrocks.

    I do know one thing they don’t sell: Blue Bell ice cream. It is not sold in the state of Ohio
