Trail is still there folks.

(Translated by Google) Very good, some fun, very good (Original) 很好，有的玩，很不错

A beautiful old carousel by the lake! The kids had a great time and it felt like stepping back in time for just five cents. Some of the original animals are still there. We also enjoyed the beach. The water was nice and the kids had lots of fun! Only challenge is getting a parking nearby.

Located in Lakeside Park ( willows in the Breeze...yes, that Park) Ride for only 5 cents, if you don't have a Nickel a larger donation is always appreciated. Great Park, take a stroll on the Pier or play in the sand on the beach.

Such a lovely surprise near the lakeside beach — a fun little activity for kids! Our kids had a blast. It’s just 5 cents per child, and you can donate whatever you feel like. Such a sweet gesture for the community! 🌞💛

Date of visit: June 28, 2025 A Magical Ride Through Time in Port Dalhousie Step into a piece of living history at the Lakeside Park Carousel, a beautifully restored LOOF treasure that’s been delighting visitors for generations. For just 5 cents a ride, you can hop aboard one of the hand-carved wooden animals and enjoy the charm of this century-old masterpiece. The craftsmanship is stunning, the setting by the lake is picturesque, and the ride is pure joy—whether you’re five or fifty. It’s a popular spot, but don’t worry: lines move quickly thanks to the efficient and friendly staff. A must-visit for families, history lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little old-fashioned magic.

Timeless treasure in the Niagara Region. Many beloved childhood memories here and I am delighted to return as an adult. Everyone can enjoy a piece of history with the Lakeside Park Carousel – and please consider donating so it can be enjoyed by future generations 🩷

The carousel is right by the beach, surrounded by trees and picnic areas, so it’s easy to make a whole family outing of it. The music and hand-carved horses give it a nostalgic feel, and it’s always well maintained thanks to the city and volunteers. Parking is available nearby, and washrooms are close by in the park. It’s busiest on sunny weekends, but the line moves quickly. Whether you’re visiting with kids or just want a bit of old-fashioned fun, this is a must-see stop in Port Dalhousie — timeless, affordable, and full of heart.

This carrousel I believe is the oldest one in the country. It is iconic and a wonderful piece of history still cost only a nickel and it’s situated at Lakeside Park the popular Rush song it talks about Lakeside Park, beautiful beach, and park and a lot of amenities around there from dining to exploring solid five out of five in Port falhousie would highly recommend once you’re finished navigating around the park you can walk the pier to have a great vantage point of some of the best sunsets around. Great place to visit whether you are a local or a tourist.!

Fun tour with informative tour guide. It's definitely worth checking out if interested in the history of the man made cave. Wish there was better light in some locations of cave as I tripped over a metal chain. Other than that my little family had a fun experience!

I enjoyed this tour. It's not a natural cave but rather a penstock tunnel. Worth seeing, and you get a nice impression of the lock. Great to pair with a cruise on the canal. Tour guy was extremely friendly and nice. Management seemed to have an odd vibe. But highly recommend.

Unique experience well worth the drive from Niagara Falls! Kat was our guide and she was awesome! Great energy and sense of humor along with awesome knowledge of the history and inner workings of the locks and caves. Highly recommend!

We are visiting from MD and saw this Halloween Lantern evening tour, it was alot of fun in spite of the cold, rainy weather. The guide was funny and knowledgeable, and recognized the need to get us out of the rain and cold as soon as she could into the cave, yet still give all of the information she was supposed to. My only wish is that there was just a little more light to actually see the inside of the cave, and cut back on the fog machines because we could barely see enough to walk safely. It was still lots of fun and I appreciated them giving us the option to take the tour scheduled before the one we had tickets for. This is a family friendly tour, but I would like to put out there that there are quite a few steps to climb and alot of walking and needing to keep pace with your group. If you have any health issues, take that into consideration for your own comfort. Also, be sure to tip these guys and gals. Our poor guide was soaked and freezing and still kept going with a sense of humor.

We were the last tour prior to the boat accident. No problems. Kyle was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and paying attention to every detail.

This was an amazing experience. From learning about Lockport's early history to traversing the underground water tunnels. Our guide for the trip was Tony. He made the tour very interactive and injected humor into his repertoire of facts and historical deeds. I highly recommend this tour if you love history or the old lore surrounding the Erie canal. Very well done.

Lots of history to learn and very cool sights to see. Start off walking along the canal to the cave entrance. Into the cave walking and then to the boat ride at the end. With all a lot of stops as the guide tells the history. Kyle was great! Definitely a must go and also can see all the canal locks and history after the tour.

Great place to bring kids to, lot of different war time planes to see. There are 2-3 different types of aircrafts where the kids can go in and even sit in the cockpit. Lot of historical information related to specific planes and the role they played during various wars. They have 2 propeller planes which offer the opportunity to fly in them as well. They also have free flight simulators which are a lot of fun. There is a small merchandise shop which is nice. There is ample parking. overall lot of fun for kids and adults alike. Overall must visit place for anyone interested in WWII, Canadian history and aviation history.

Great place to learn about Canada's contribution to the world wars. Minus one star for the aged and disabled who wish to visit the open flight deck but have to walk up 3 flights of stairs. Thanks to all the young and experienced cadets who are really impressive with their product knowledge. The restorers and engineers are doing an amazing job fixing up this rare collection. The Runway cafe is really good value with all the usual fast-food you'd expect. And acknowledgment to the pilots who give their passengers an unforgettable experience

Excellent place to visit and see the planes and learn how they were helpful to RCAF in defending sovereignty of our country. Interactive videos of decorated airforce personnel, who are not amongst us but the museum has kept them to see and learn about their lives. Place worth visiting.

We had our wedding here in October 2025. Stevie-Jane couldn’t have been more accommodating and easy to deal with. She communicated everything to us clearly and set expectations appropriately!! The day went as smooth as can be! All of our guests said the venue was so unique and fun! If you’re looking for a unique, and classy wedding venue, this is the place to be!!

What an awesome place. My 13 yr old wants to be a pilot and just being there with him was such a great experience. There was a large group of air cadets when we were there so we could not get a guide, but the self guided tour of the museum was fine. Would absolutely recommend to any plane enthusiasts and also anyone wanting to see some really neat Canadian history. Very well maintained, I really loved seeing these planes being restored, just awesome important work! Would definitely go back

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is more than just a museum – it’s an experience. What I loved most was the hands-on aspect. Unlike many museums where everything is kept behind ropes, here you actually get to climb into cockpits and explore the interiors of some of the aircraft. It felt amazing to sit where real pilots once sat and imagine what it must have been like to fly. The collection itself is incredible. Each aircraft comes with detailed stories and history. I was especially impressed that many of the planes are still in flying condition — it’s not just a static display, but a living museum. The museum is also very family-friendly. Kids seemed to love the interactive displays, and adults could spend hours taking in all the history. Overall, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum offers more than just a look at planes — it’s an immersive, hands-on experience that connects you to Canada’s aviation history in a very real way.

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is an incredible place to visit! You’ll discover so much about aviation and military history through engaging exhibits and displays. One of the highlights is their life-sized interactive avatars, which share fascinating stories and historical details—perfect if you prefer listening instead of reading. The museum also features beautifully restored aircraft, some of which still fly, making the experience even more special. It’s educational, interactive, and enjoyable for all ages—whether you’re a history buff, an aviation enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing. Recommended 💯% !! 😊

I came here for a lunch buffet. Despite the bad reviews, I gave it a try. I lowered my expectations, so it was just like how I expected. The restaurant reminded me of a dormitory dining hall, extremely noisy and crowded. The food was not as bad as the reviews I read. There are plenty of options, one way or another you will find something to enjoy. It’s relatively cheap, so the price-quality point was good. However, your visit reason shouldn’t be for dining, but for the view and the overall experience. You can definitely find better food around the area, but you can’t always eat on top of the tower. So, I would suggest visiting this place once in your life and one time only.

We came for the views with a relaxed meal experience. We got that absolutely 100%. The food was good, without being brilliant. No complaints. The service was ok, but a little chaotic. The views and revolving restaurant (not the buffet) was what we came for, and what we got as an experience. Its a litle over priced for what you get for sure. We came to Niagara for a once in a lifetime experience, and this restaurant played its part. We also got to experience the views from the observation deck afterwards as well, so overall would do it again, even knowing the rest of what i mention.

While I did not go to the restaurant, I did go for the observation deck and it was so stunning. The view of Niagara Falls is amazing as well as being able to see the Buffalo and Toronto skylines. I highly recommend. The elevator up was also such a cool experience!

Recommended, view is worth it. Food was nice good portions, salmon was really tasty cook perfectly. Service wasn’t good we have two waiters one a girl was nice but the older guy was no patient and kind of rude. But we saw other tables were really happy with services maybe just our luck. Nice place to go, as the CN tower rotates so you can have a 360o view in around one hour period.

I really enjoyed the Prime Rib dinner in the revolving restaurant. You get 90 minutes for your reservation which is plenty of time to enjoy your meal and enjoy the views. The restaurant rotates once per hour, we got to see the falls 2x while we were sat. Afterwards we went to the observation deck as it is included. All of our meals were good with no complaints from any of us. I would definitely return as this was a memorable experience for me.

At the top of Skylon Tower, you’ll be treated to spectacular views of Niagara Falls! The breathtaking scenery, combined with the sound of the falls and a gentle breeze, creates an unforgettable experience!! Additionally, you’ll learn about the daring individuals who have attempted to cross the falls and witness the various vehicles they used beyond the barrels, including kayaks and a massive steel ball.

Had an amazing experience at the Skylon Tower! The views of Niagara Falls from the top are absolutely breathtaking. Tickets were around $23 per person, totally worth it for the panoramic scenery. The shop at the top was a fun surprise — the guy who owns it is super funny, friendly, and makes everyone feel comfortable. Overall, a great visit and a must-do in Niagara!

Absolutely stunning, i highly recommend visiting once in your life time. We went during a weekday in September and it was not very crowded. Pretty east walk from one side of the falls to the other (about 30-45 min at a very leisurely pace and stopping for photos.)

This was a bucket list adventure and it was absolutely amazing! The falls are so beautiful and powerful. The scenery is incredible in the park, especially in the fall. We did a boat ride to the falls and we could feel the water spraying up on us as it hit the water below. Of course Canada is just on the opposite bank.

Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls on the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA, connected by the Niagara River. The three falls are the Horseshoe Falls (the largest, on the Canadian side), the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls (both on the U.S. side). Known for its scenic power, the falls are a major tourist destination with attractions like boat tours and observation decks, and a significant source of hydroelectric power. The three waterfalls Horseshoe Falls: The largest of the three, located on the Canadian side of the border and carrying the majority of the Niagara River's flow. American Falls: Located in the United States. Bridal Veil Falls: Also on the U.S. side and located next to the American Falls. Geography and power The falls are created where the Niagara River, which connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, plunges over the Niagara Escarpment. More than 168,000 cubic meters (6 million cubic feet) of water go over the crestline of the falls every minute during peak daytime tourist hours. The area is a major source of hydroelectric power, with projects like the Niagara Power Project in New York being one of the state's largest electricity producers. Tourist attractions and activities Boat tours: Popular options include Maid of the Mist on the NY side and others on the Canadian side that take you into the mist at the base of the falls. Cave of the Winds: An attraction on the U.S. side that takes you to a deck below the American Falls. Observation decks: The Observation Tower on the U.S. side provides views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. The Skylon Tower on the Canadian side offers panoramic views. Walking tours: Visitors can walk across the international border via bridges like the Rainbow Bridge. Other attractions: The area includes other attractions like the Aquarium of Niagara, amusement attractions, and shows. Visitor information The falls are accessible from both the United States and Canada, with cities like Buffalo, NY, on the U.S. side and Hamilton and Toronto near the Canadian side. Niagara Falls State Park on the U.S. side is America's oldest state park and is open 365 days a year.

Niagara Falls is truly one of the best places to visit! The view is breathtaking, and the sound of the rushing water is both powerful and calming. The boat cruise is an unforgettable experience — getting so close to the falls and feeling the mist on your face is simply amazing. The area around the falls is clean, well maintained, and has plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops, and viewing points. It’s a perfect destination for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and adventure. I highly recommend adding Niagara Falls to your travel list — you’ll never forget the experience!

Amazing place. So clean, so beautiful, with the falls accessible day or night. To access the closer parts, like the boat or the tunnel, you'll have to buy a ticket. Our group booked via the hotel. You pay more, but the tour guide/ driver reduces all stress and offers an in depth historical tour to boot. The falls themselves are so beautiful, majestic in size and yet so calming. Nature the way God intended. Incredible views, and the USA side more relaxed compared to the Canadian side. The view of the falls better from Canada overall, but you get up closer from the USA side. Weekends much busier than week days, but worth it no matter what day you choose. All hotels are within 10 minutes walk, so don't worry what one you choose. Free fireworks show at 10pm every night, lasting between 5 and 8 minutes. Spectacular place.

It was Wednesday morning when I arrived at Niagara Falls, and since it was the end of the season, the streets were almost empty. Only a few people, including me, could be seen around the state park or walking along the city roads. The view of Niagara Falls is absolutely breathtaking, and I highly recommend visiting the Shoreline Trail either early in the morning or in the evening.

Amazing experience, definately come early, it may be chilly but you will definately benefit from coming earlier. Parking wasnt a issue and crowds weren't as well. Parking is 10 dollars and e erything else besides the boat ride is free.

The Cave of the Winds is absolutely amazing. Worth every penny for this experience. You will get wet. Very wet. Bring water shoes. It starts with a gallery with some history of the Cave and Goat Island. This is followed by a short movie which helps you understand more history of the industries in the past. Then the main event, down to the Decks. The elevators are smaller but it is worth it. You are literally in the flow of both water falls. Just increible. The Hurricane Deck the best part. Go in and get wet. It is safe and the water is super clean. Bicycle racks nearby. Paid parking in effect. Tram stops out front. Get tickets in packages to save money. The path below has been recently repaved and decks have been repaired (Oct 2025). Overall the decks are in very good shape. Free clean washrooms at the top. It can be very busy during the peak season. Do not climb over the barriers. You're a goner. No Free WiFi.

One of best experience in my life! We got very wet because we went all the way to the end. But it was worth it. When else can you experience this? If you go here, go under the waterfall! Gather your courage and go! If it's very windy, wait for the wind to change! Wear non-slip slippers and short clothes so you don't get too wet. It's a wonderful, wonderful experience.

💦 My Visit to Cave of the Winds – Niagara Falls My visit to the Cave of the Winds was one of the most thrilling and immersive experiences at Niagara Falls State Park. This attraction lets you feel the true power of the falls up close — not just see them from afar. After taking an elevator 175 feet down into the Niagara Gorge, I followed wooden walkways that led right to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls. The closer I got, the louder the roar of the water became, and soon I was completely surrounded by mist and spray. Standing on the Hurricane Deck, just a few meters from the cascading falls, was absolutely exhilarating — it felt like standing in the middle of a tropical storm! The park provides a poncho and special sandals, but be ready to get drenched — and love every second of it. The experience is well-organized, safe, and an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Niagara Falls. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Go early morning for fewer crowds and great lighting. • Wear quick-drying clothes and keep valuables waterproof. • The Hurricane Deck offers the best photo and video moments — but be ready for a full soak! • Combine this with Maid of the Mist and Observation Tower for the complete Niagara adventure. Overall, Cave of the Winds is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that lets you feel Niagara’s raw power — thrilling, refreshing, and unforgettable! 🌊🌈✨

What a cool experience seeing the falls up close! Prepare to get very wet! Even more so than the Maid of the Mist ride! Take your time and be careful walking! Lots of opportunities for great pictures here!

100% a great experience. We loved it!!! We weren’t prepared for how wet we would get but it was worth it. A couple of tips. I brought some sandals in a back pack and that was so nice because my wives shoes got soaked. The poncho they give you is sufficient for keeping you dry unless you have long pants and shoes on. I had shorts on and the bottom half of my shorts got wet. We just paid right at the entrance. It was easy. They take you through a museum that tells you about the history of the falls and you watch a short movie then they take you down the elevator to the walk path. It really didn’t take to long to go through the line and be on the path. You will love it just go.

For the child inside you… Very thrilling and chilling experience. But would only work in summers Get ready to get wet no matter what you wear Especially the shoes… They do give a history tour while you are waiting followed by a short film, but the fun part lies down at the foot of the waterfall You basically take shower at Bridal Veil

Can I give it more than 5 stars? Seriously, this was our family’s #1 favorite attraction on either the NY or Canadian side! We even liked it better than the boat tours around the falls. Why? You get so close! So close it feels like a Category 1 hurricane. You can get absolutely drenched. You get to see up close the power of the falls. Don’t skip this one!

Journey Behind the Falls is an absolutely incredible experience! 🌊 Being able to stand just behind the roaring waterfalls and feel the mist on your face is something you’ll never forget. The tunnels are well-maintained, safe, and give a unique perspective of the falls that you just can’t get anywhere else. The views from the observation decks are spectacular, and the sound of the water crashing down is both thrilling and mesmerizing. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or coming back to Niagara Falls, Journey Behind the Falls is a must-do – it’s up close, exhilarating, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for all ages!

Walking behind and right up against the Falls is an unforgettable experience! The only other attraction that surpasses this is the Cruise that takes you into the heart of the Horseshoe Falls. I’m thrilled that I had the opportunity to experience both attractions because it allows you to truly immerse yourself in the falls at your own pace. In this experience, you’ll get much closer to the Falls, hearing the thunderous roar and feeling the water spray against you.

🚤 My Experience on the Maid of the Mist Boat Ride – Niagara Falls Taking the Maid of the Mist boat ride was the most thrilling and unforgettable part of my visit to Niagara Falls. This iconic boat tour takes you right into the heart of the mighty falls — an adventure filled with mist, roar, and excitement! As the boat slowly approached the American Falls and then the majestic Horseshoe Falls, I could feel the power of nature all around me. The sound of the crashing water was thunderous, and the mist completely surrounded us — it felt like stepping into another world. Even with the provided blue poncho, I was soaked, but the experience was totally worth it! The ride was about 20 minutes long, but every second was packed with awe and wonder. Seeing the falls up close gave me a whole new appreciation for their beauty and strength. The crew was friendly, and everything was well-organized and safe. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Don’t worry about getting wet — embrace it! • Keep your camera or phone waterproofed; the mist is heavy. • Go early morning to avoid long queues. • Hold on to your poncho — it’s a fun souvenir! Overall, the Maid of the Mist is an absolutely must-do experience at Niagara Falls — thrilling, refreshing, and truly unforgettable. 🌊💙🛥️

Highly recommend this venue to get views of the Canadian Falls up close! One observation point gives you an incredible view up the falls to see the water cascade roll over into the Niagara river! Tunnel views are behind the falls with stunning close up of water rolling past you! They provide rain slickers to keep you dry We went in November no crowds no wait!!! Summer spring early fall high season wait can be 2 hours!!!! Definitely no exceptions do this off season!!!!!!

We traveled by bus from Union bus station to Niagara falls bus station, around 43 CAN/adult. There, we bought another ticket to the falls which was about 10 minutes far by that bus. The scene was breathtaking, especially that it was snowing. We walked around for an hour, took amazing pictures and had some coffee in the adjacent cafe, then came back the same way It is a must experience for those who visit Toronto, and it deserves the effort done to reach the location

The Journey Behind the Falls is one of those experiences that truly lets you feel the raw power of Niagara Falls up close and I mean really close. Even though I’ve seen the falls many times from above, nothing quite compares to standing right behind that massive curtain of water and hearing the thunderous roar echo all around you. It’s surreal The moment you step out of the elevator you can already hear the rumbling of the water. it’s deep and powerful, like the heartbeat of nature itself. The tunnels lead you to two observation portals directly behind the falls. When you reach them, you see millions of gallons of water rushing down in front of you, just a few feet away. The mist and the sound together create an atmosphere that’s both thrilling and calming at the same time. Then there’s the outdoor observation deck which is easily my favorite part. Standing there, you can feel the mist spraying your face while watching the falls from an incredible vantage point. It’s one of those moments you don’t forget. The poncho they provide helps, but you’ll still get a bit wet, which honestly adds to the fun. I’d recommend going early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and get more time to take it all in. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been to Niagara before, Journey Behind the Falls gives you a whole new appreciation for its power and beauty.

What else everyone knows Niagara falls! Just dress properly especially your sleeves that will be exposed if you do the mist boat cruise! Memories shop is also nice and have wifi. Didn t had to wait long for the boat on a sunday.

Such a nice trail, mostly paved. At one point you can take a ferry and join the Niagara trail too. We have done lots of variations of this. There are lots of places to stop and park. Highly recommended.

Amazing trail for cycling and walking.There are nice views around. Safe for family ride.

Great place for any age!! The trail is a great place to go on a nice day out!! The old canal also has some trails you can explore that bring you along a really historic area!! Love going here to relax and just go for a peaceful walk! Great place for a bike ride to the pth is all paved and ready to go! These pictures are from the old canal trail just a few minutes away from Glendale Bridge!!

The Welland Canal is a ship canal in Ontario, Canada, connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. It forms a key section of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes Waterway. Traversing the Niagara Peninsula from Port Weller in St. Catharines to Port Colborne, it enables ships to ascend and descend the Niagara Escarpment and bypass Niagara Falls. It is the fourth canal connecting these waterways; three smaller predecessors also bore the same name. The Welland Canal eclipsed other, narrower canals in the region, such as the Trent-Severn Waterway and, significantly, the Erie Canal (which linked the Atlantic and Lake Erie via New York City and Buffalo, New York) by providing a shorter, more direct connection to Lake Erie. The southern, Lake Erie terminus of the canal is 99.5 metres (326 feet) higher than the northern terminus on Lake Ontario. The canal includes eight 24.4-metre-wide (80 ft) ship locks.Seven of the locks (Locks 1–7, the 'Lift' locks) are 233.5 m (766 ft) long and raise (or lower) passing ships by between 13 and 15 m (43 and 49 ft) each. The southernmost lock, (Lock 8 – the 'Guard' or 'Control' lock) is 349.9 m (1,148 ft) in length.The Garden City Skyway passes over the canal, restricting the maximum height of the masts of the ships allowed on this canal to 35.5 m (116 ft).

What an incredible place for a hike or especially a bike ride! I’ve done the entire welland in Canal. There are so many different things to see. It’s so wonderful and it’s paved all the way. It’s pretty cool watching the big ships come down the canal.

These canals are always interesting. Such a great idea of moving ships up or down. Nice to walk around when it's not that busy and watch the ships pass.

We had no GPS but we drove around till we found it and it was so cool. A ship was going through.

Severely lacking improvements. Used to go there a lot in the 90s as a child and it was kept better overall and my biggest complaint is the robbery on concessions. $23 for a slice of pizza and a water (small bottle). $11 for a small ice cream (normal size Dip N Dots). Same price for the custard (small). $11 for a pretzel (that's it) just a pretzel. The prices are just outrageous!!!! The ride times are extremely short (about 2 minutes) I guess it keeps the lines shorter that way (who knows but all the rides were extremely short). I went on a Thursday and noticed a lot of rides were closed along with many of the overpriced games. Lack of staff? Saving money by reducing staffing until the weekend? Who knows. All I can say is this- They have taken the famous Big Ferris Wheel out and didn't invest in anything to replace it with, just the slabs of concrete bases it used to sit on. It's actually sad. Nothing new as far as rides have been added in a very long time (since the Super man Ride of Steel)? Seems like the management have given up and at this point are trying to milk customers for everything it's worth in concessions before selling out to another company. Sad, a real shame.

Overall we had a great time, unfortunately the water park was closed but it was the end of August. Rides were great, something for everyone. Lines were reasonable and vary throughout the day. Food options were limited and grossly overpriced. Tables were sticky and not clean, roof water dripping on the table (lost a star easily for this alone). The paid go-karts were boringly slow, definitely the slowest I’ve ever experienced (lost .5 star). Staff were pleasant. We all look forward to our next year’s visit when the waterpark is open!

We were just at the park camping this weekend. We went right when it opened at 11 to go to Rde is Steel. But it didn’t open until around 11:30. Not impressed. Then a couple of the main rollercoasters were closed for the season? We brought our own food. But I can see why people were complaining the food prices were high. Our camp site and the laser show at the end of the day were both great!

First time here. Was decent experience.Staff was friendly.Had to go through security search was odd we dont do that in Canada.The biggest complaint was getting season passes there was not goid information regarding id n such after buying passes. We had to make 2nd trip back to our motel in Attica paid extra for this. Other then that was good experience. Food was bit pricey so we bought the day food upgrade.Since we do not drive made it difficult to get back n forth from Attica. Totally enjoyed my 4 days there.I will find six flags locations to go to there are easier when person doesn't drive.

Have fun fantastic or amazing and I just have fun. I've been to Darien late this time.It was just more fun.

Fantastic. Perfect day. First time going in 15 years.

It was ok! It has been many years since I have visited and it seems like it has gone downhill but we had a good time. The cost for everything is very high! One thing that was concerning, a child was not tall enough for the rollercoaster and was still let on. The worker was trying to do the right thing but other patrons were yelling to let her on and unfortunately the pressure must have got the best of her because the child was let on the ride. That was absolutely not ok. I have lost a child and it's not something you ever want to experience. I wouldn't trust the attendants to make sure your child is safe to go on the ride.

Went on free Thursday in October was great weather not hot or cold was plenty of people for a weekday. Got to see the baby red panda were so cute .We had a burger at the burger restaurant was very good weird the pop was more than the burger! Spent couple of hours there got to see everything loved the polar bear and giraffes and the rainforest.

This zoo may be small in size but it is really nice. They have so many cool animals like Hyenas, Snow Monkeys, Seals, Polar Bears and of course Buffalo, as well as so much more. The Hyena I saw was so cute. Also apparently I went there while they were celebrating their 150th anniversary so there were a bunch of big light up displays and animal figures. I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. It is a lot of fun.

A wonderful zoo with friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging staff. The zoo is very easy to navigate and isn't so large that you feel like you can't see everything in a timely manner. My wife and I purchased the giraffe encounter and that was just the icing on the cake. I would highly encourage you to look at and purchase an encounter to get a behind the scenes look that you can't get otherwise.

Very skimpy on animals. Good for a nice walk on a good day. I hope they turn it into an animal rescue site and rehab . We don't really need to cage more wild animals but great if born in captivity or a rescue. I understand the eagles can't fly doe to injury, the animals there are well taken care of and look really healthy.

Waste of money. This was the worst zoo I have ever been to $60 plus for 3 people plus parking! 0 out of 10 do not recommend. The animals looked like they were unalived. The lions looked half starved. The animals barely moved. The polar bear which was the highlight of the visit looked miserable sitting in dry dirt. No water in sight or anything for the poor guy. This place makes me see while animals should not be in cages. They did not look happy at all. I wished I could have saved them from their despair. Poor things. Do better for the animals. Also they were decorating but not decorating. Just had junk laying everywhere in piles even blocking walk ways. Very unprofessional and unpleasant in my opinion. Awful place 😖

Once again a visit for the 'Zoomagination'. 🎊 This event never disappoints. Best viewed in the later evening hours, but come early enough to check out a show. 👍 Easy walking,🚶‍♂️ but a bit of it to do, to see all the displays. Most of the animals are asleep, or the areas are closed, so not an extra distraction. Light displays are spectacular and well done, with some being interactive. Great for all ages! Don't miss this amazing event ❤️ while its here! Run, don't walk! 😉

Our first trip to the Buffalo Zoo as we were passing through the area was great. A smaller zoo but with plenty of animals to see. It is an older zoo, 150 years old, and some areas are very dated, but you can see they are working to update all the areas. They were setting up for the Zoo Lantern Festival that looks like it is going to be amazing. We spent about 4 hours at the zoo and still didn't get to everything. I guess it just means another trip back when we are passing through Buffalo again.

I took the 75-minute tour today and absolutely loved it. Lou was my guide and he did a great job. I've been to around a dozen or so Frank Lloyd Wright properties, and this was the most spectacular. The property is sprawling, the home is meticulously restored, and the landscaping is so beautiful. This is a must do in Buffalo for any architectural buffs.

We took the 2 hr tour. Parking is in the surrounding streets and watch the signage for allowed days and times. Tickets were on every car illegally parked. The house is obviously impressive and massive. Being fairly tall, I really didn't care for the areas with low ceilings that were intended by wright to either move you along or to sit down. Interior woodworking was impeccable and outside construction flawless. The guide seemed focused on minute details of the owners life and family rather than the house. But it was informative and very well run.

Frank Lloyd Wright architecture lovers will be very excited to see the restoration and current condition of this beautiful piece of residential art! Every detail was understood and perfectly restored to its original condition. Part of the house and an adjacent FLW home were destroyed in the past and all of it was rebuilt to exacting details and materials. As soon as you step into the home, it takes your breath away with sights, lights and sounds like no other home. It is not Renaissance grand, but it is FLW grand and I like that better. The warmth of the woods, the glass that makes the light talk to you and the art all over the house secretly disguised as furniture are all amazing. The docents were professional, very knowledgeable that provided just enough time for guests to stop walk around and take it all in. They answered questions politely with additional stories about the family and additional history bits. There are several choices of options for the tour with progressively longer and more complete tours of the home, adjacent buildings, and grounds. I highly recommend touring this Frank Lloyd Home in Buffalo!

The tour began with an excellent video laying the background for the design and building of the estate. Dave, our tour guide, was a wealth of information, and very entertaining. He was able to respond to all questions. We took the two hour tour, which I would highly recommend. We went in October, but I would love to return in spring/summer when the gardens are in bloom.

What a spectacular place! My family enjoyed hearing about the history of the home and the relationship between Mr. Wright and Mr. Martin and their partnership in building this house. The house has been beautifully restored and is a treasure. Our volunteer guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about the property. We are glad to have gotten a membership and look forward to returning.

Amazing tour. We took the 2 hours tour and it surprisingly went very quickly. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the house, the history of the person that commissioned the house to be built, FLW, and the neighborhood. Even if tour are not a fan of FLW, you will enjoy this tour of the property.

We visited the Martin House on our way to Niagara Falls. The architecture is beautiful, and the history behind it is fascinating. It even inspired us to visit Paris to see the original piece of the Statue of Victory.

Came early for dinner but didn't want the buffet so ordered from the bar. Bar staff is great but they were overwhelmed with drink and food orders. We ordered at 5:30 and waited over an hour for our food. Another table waited 2 hours. We spoke with a female manager about our experience. Her response was that the customers are very happy with the buffet. Unfortunately the regular bar patrons are not happy but that didn't seem to matter. We later spoke with Rob, he was extremely understanding, listened very patiently and did what he could to take care of one of the tables that still hadn't gotten their order after 2 hrs. He is an asset to Delaware North as well as the bar tender, Rich, who was also very helpful and did his best given the situation. This is a good example for how to handle a negative situation. Well done Rob and Rich!

Great place to meet up with friends. Friendly bartenders and great service. Restaurant is clean with a good selection of menu options. Quick service area accommodates all your snacking needs. Local bands on the weekends play a variety of genres making it the perfect place to go on those rainy weekend nights!

Hamburg Gaming is a wonderful, clean, safe, fun casino. It is one of our most favorite casino's to visit and we live 90 minutes away. Love to play here every chance we get.

Erie County Fair - I forgot how great the stunt artists are!! Go. See. These. Shows!! The Red Trouser Show (hilarious and great acrobatic stunts). Also the Ultimate Stunt Circus - I realized a few times that my mouth was hanging open as I'm watching. These are impressive, Nationwide shows in our little neck of the woods! Some party of my WNY brain wants to discount the fact that they are coming here like a grade school project, but ALL of these acts are Great! Don't miss the Yummy Goodness here. Ok, now I'll step off my soapbox, go! Be Amazed!! 5/5 Pure Deliciousness

Will Will was the nice guy up front when you enter and my mom didn't have her ID so I have he let her wait right with him and told me don't worry just go to the car and get her info. Very nice man and the money guy with the glasses it was very nice and funny especially I told him not to tell my wife I took some money out of the ATM and he just left and then my wife had to cash in her winnings and I said you didn't tell her did you? Nice man

It needs to be a little updated staff was friendly but they didn't have drinks excessible or easy to get to also. There wasn't many wait staff but A-OK casino. I do recommend this for my friends and I will be back. Oh yes You're also as a live band there which was a decent Band.

Friendliest staff, courteous & helpful. The patrons are happy!;) Fun gaming with friends in a clean, safe environment. Fun bands on weekend nights & entertainment choices on others, plus great food choices! It’s Hamburg for me:)

The most stunning state park I've ever been to! The scale of Letchworth State Park is rare to see on the east coast. The waterfalls especially the upper and middle falls are absolutely stunning. When I saw the view with the upper falls and the bridge I thought it could not get better but then when I saw the middles falls my jaw dropped. What a surreal place. I walked the trails as well as drove about the road in the park. The park is very accessible and seeing the view points quite simple. I highly recommend you visiting Letchworth State Park!

The waterfall is absolutely breathtaking, especially during peak fall. It doesn’t have to be a sunny day, even on rainy, misty, or foggy days, the falls take on a stunning, moody charm. The drive is quite long, so it’s a good idea to keep some snacks handy. The scenery makes a perfect backdrop for photography, and the entire drive through the park offers a variety of beautiful waterfalls and scenic views to enjoy.

We visited on a sunny day in October the first time and the waterfall’s were simply beautiful. The fall is the busiest season and ends 10/31 each year. During this time the gift shop, museum and restaurant close. But this year they decided to stay open a little longer because no snow. I went back on 11/08/2025 and visited the Natural Science Center. I wanted to visit museum and that’s when I learned it was closed. We learned so much about the Genesee River at the center and Matt was so very knowledgeable and kind. The source of the Genesee River is a spring in a hilltop on private land in Gold, Potter County, Pennsylvania. Path: From its beginning, it flows north, passing through the town of Ulysses in Potter County before crossing the border into New York. Landmarks: The river flows through New York, creating gorges and waterfalls at Letchworth State Park and three more in Rochester. I highly recommend visiting this park during September to truly enjoy all it has to offer! It’s simply breath taking!!

Beautiful park!! NY is home to so many amazing State Parks that are better than some National Parks! This park was extremely busy on a Saturday afternoon in October, but i was able to find a parking spot and wander on down to the bridge to take pictures during sunset.

We visited Letchworth State Park on 10/22/2025. It was beautiful. We were able to see all of the falls. As seniors, we liked that the falls could be seen with just a short walk. We had a nice lunch at the concession stand. The facilities were clean and the park employees were helpful. This was a highlight of our fall foliage trip to New York. The pictures we took looked like postcard!

The views of falls are spectacular! The stone walls & walkways & stairs, picnic tables.are beautiful, there's many overlooks that are wheelchair friendly very easy parking .lots of restrooms throughout park handicaped accessible.beautiful stone buildings restrooms(.very clean)many trails very well marked.many picnic areas with playgrounds ,pavilions,picnic tables with great views.pet friendly.snack shack ,gift store, camp ground with camp store & laundry mat,& swimming .you can take a hot air balloon ride $$$ over falls ,

Letchworth State Park is truly a breathtaking place to visit. Often called the “Grand Canyon of the East,” it offers stunning views of waterfalls, cliffs, and the beautiful Genesee River gorge. The park is peaceful, clean, and perfect for hiking or just relaxing in nature. I especially loved the fall season there — the colorful leaves made the scenery absolutely magical. It’s a wonderful spot for anyone who enjoys nature, photography, or simply spending time outdoors.

This was my first time ever skiing, I took 1 lesson just to get the hang of it and at the end I was skiing on blue! (And I also now know what blue means 🤣) I'm an au pair and came here with my wonderful host family every year, I highly recommend this place. So sweet and homely, and really nice slopes. Also mini hot chocolates!! :D

If you read my reviews you'll see that I rarely rate anything 5 stars, but I feel like with our families experience there... I just have to give them the credit! The staff was absolutely a pleasure to deal with. We had great experiences getting outfitted with the rentals and the high performance rental shop really dialed me in for a fantastic ski day. My wife and youngest son had an hour private lesson in the morning, and that was all they needed from never skiing to be able to enjoy the rest of the day with myself and oldest son. I was blowing fresh powder ALL DAY long and we thoroughly enjoyed the different levels of runs to choose from. It has something for anyone and everyone I feel like. The people we came across on the slopes were all friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The staff was helpful with the little guy getting onto the lifts and really just all the way around. We even stopped for lunch at the bottom of the hill. The complementary hot cocoa really just set the whole experience to perfection. It was an enjoyable meal with gr at service. Not only that but getting to thaw out and dry our gloves made the second half of the day that much more enjoyable. I really can't say enough good things about our experience to be honest. The worst that happened was getting stuck in a white out on the way home and doing 20mph on the highway because conditions were so bad and traffic wouldn't move. The mountain top experience was the best we could have asked for!

Gorgeous place outside of Buffalo. We enjoyed the mountain coaster and gem mining. Perfect spot for fall festivities

We’ve come to Holiday Valley for quick day trips and have had a wonderful day each time. Even during a busy week, we didn’t feel the crowds and felt there was plenty of space on the lifts and runs. Aside from the nice variety of runs, one thing that stood out to my family is that Holiday Valley is filled with the kindest staff! Everyone we spoke with couldn’t be more helpful. Really great place and would love to spend more time next visit,

My son Lucas, visiting from Florida, and I had an amazing weekend at Holiday Valley. Even with a bit of icy weather on Saturday, the resort's commitment to providing excellent conditions shone through. The overnight snowfall and the diligent grooming team made Sunday's skiing absolutely perfect. It was a memorable father-son adventure, and Holiday Valley made it truly special.

So much fun the rooms are beautiful and comfortable the pool is awesome.Well maintain the staff is very friendly

I have been coming to Holiday Valley for about 15 years now, and I absolutely love it. There are so many pluses to this place. There are a great number of runs and it's quite a stretch from one end to the other, so it often doesn't feel as busy as it is because everyone can spread out across the resort. Almost every lift has runs of all three levels terminating at it, so if there are varying skill levels in your group, everyone can split off, do a run they're comfortable with, and then meet back at the lift. They get great snow, there are multiple lodges and warming huts to hang out at, staff are friendly, the majority of the runs are open for night skiing, there are awesome events, the town is a blast, I could go on and on! Love this hill.

Great visit! Very rich with culture and good people! Ive been there since i was (5) at art shows. The art is top notch and well worth seeing and buying.

This was our first visit to the Chautauqua Institute. We went for Week 3 and joined some of our friends from California for the week. We had no idea what to expect - and even after the first few days, we were still taking it all in. This gated community has a rich past with hundreds of historic buildings and homes right next to Chautauqua Lake. We enjoyed a lot of the activities that week - from lectures and concerts at the Amphitheater to plays at the theatre to a steamship tour around the lake on the Chautauqua Belle. We looked forward to our morning walks along the lake and up and down the streets to look at the lovely homes. The only thing we didn't like was the hotel we stayed at - the Spencer Hotel & Spa (which I also reviewed). We've already reserved our room for next year at the Athenaeum Hotel.

Beautiful place with good acoustics for shows. Parking is $20 and quite far away but a shuttle is available.

An artsy, upscale, well-maintained and self-contained village in the countryside beside Ch. Lake. Many activities available in the busy summer season, but we appreciated quiet walks on uncrowded paths in the fall off-season. Very leashed-dog-friendly. Leisurely 12 mph speed limit is not always adhered to in the off season.

Last weekend I was the guest of a friend at the Chautauqua Institution to hear conservative pundit Jason Riley, who is originally from Buffalo, went to my Alma mater - University of Buffalo, sits on the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal and is a Fox News contributor. I told him before he signed my book, that I disagreed with him on somethings, Jason's response, ".. are you sure you want me to sign your book?". It's been a quite a few years since I've been back, but the place looks the same. What's different, I got the impression that some people felt that they didn't have the freedom to have, or hear certain thoughts in certain venues on the facility grounds. A week later, a world famous author who I've met before, did security for, Salman Rushie, that has spoken in Buffalo was attacked in the very venue that I enjoyed a religious service. The irony, his intended conversation was to talk about freedom of speech in the United States of America. Our country, unfortunately, is so polarized presently, that it's almost impossible for people to just listen to one another. I was invited out to dinner recently, place of my choice, I picked Hutch's. I was told we couldn't go there because the owner supported Trump and gun rights advocates. What does that have to do with a good steak? If the person is not preaching hate, nor advocating violence , people have the right to believe in what they want as long as it doesn't infringe on your personal rights. If we can't have a coffee, or medium steak and sensible conversation- agreeing to be disagreeable, nothing but problems lies ahead for our country🇺🇸

Very grateful to have had the opportunity of attending this program. As a student of the program though, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the housing given to us. Prior to writing this review I found a bee walking across the floor of my dorm, despite the windows being sealed shut. This prompted me to question the insulation of the dorms, considering I've found numerous other bugs and spiders. Furthermore, we paid an $800 fee for the air conditioning to be installed this year, of which we were the first year to have this privilege. However, the AC broke three times within the first two weeks of my stay here, and remained broken for days at a time. Good luck doing laundry here! There are 4 washers and 4 dryers for the ballet, art, orchestra, and opera programs. Totally unreasonable. The dryer also doesn't work and I've had to dry my clothes three times just to get them at least damp. (Each cycle costs a dollar btw) So in total I spent $21 alone on laundry which is frustrating as a college student who is trying to save money. Also, the food within the institution and in the dorm dining hall are nothing exceptional. I ended up spending a lot of money on eating out at restaurants because the dining hall made me sick at times. And if you would like to doordash, you can't without looking for your driver for ten minutes because of how strict the gate pass policy is. Highly recommend coming here with a car if you are a student. Was also disappointed with how the musicians were treated during the ballet and opera cycles. We were cramped into a tight makeshift "pit" because the real pit had flooded this winter?? So instead we risked banging our tens of thousands of dollar instruments against each other for the sake of an opera cycle which was thrown together on a whim. Another great feature about this institution is nothing is open after 11 pm! And there is no food to be found after 10 pm. The food itself is ridiculously expensive for what it is. The coffee gazebo is extremely mid and costs at least $9 for a latte that is 3/4 milk and 1/4 espresso. Really liked the instruction and learned a lot here, just really disappointed with how they treat the students. Multiple students had injuries here with how much they treat us like workhorses.

We were pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful surroundings of this quaint village. The grounds are exquisitely maintained. We were at the pavilion to see the Jurassic Park movie with an orchestra. The pavilion is very nice. It’s quite a walk to get to the Pavilion from parking so be prepared. The walk is beautiful. It feels like you’re walking in an old time village from yesteryear. Next time we will take more time to explore. We will definitely visit again.

We had a quick stop before heading home. Beautiful park! Definitely want to come back and explore when we have more time. There are 6 different beaches entrances, 3 different piers, ferry rides and even a park. Beautiful!

Presque Isle State Park is an absolute gem along Lake Erie! The park is beautifully maintained, with clean restrooms, plenty of walking and biking trails, and several gorgeous beaches to choose from. Beach 6 and Beach 8 are the most popular, offering calm lakeshore waters perfect for families and a relaxing swim. My favorite is Beach 10 — the water there is crystal clear with open waves, giving it a more adventurous and refreshing feel. It’s a fantastic spot to just sit back, enjoy the breeze, and watch the waves roll in. Best of all, entry to the park is completely free! I highly recommend bringing your own food and turning it into a picnic — it’s the perfect way to spend a day by the beach.

Presque Isle was magnificent! I’m sure it’s super packed on the summer, but ours was a fall visit and while it was busy, it was not too bad! Great foot and bike paths. Lots of beach area, the water was great and the lighthouse didn’t disappoint even though it was closed. This was recommended from a friend and I’m so glad we went! Definitely worth the trip if you are within an hour or two drive.

This is seriously one of those places you visit and cznt wait to come too. Super safe, there's always rangers/ law enforcement driving around. Clean, with lots of garbage cans and restroom areas. I grew up around Lake Erie and I still get pleasantly surprised at how clear the water is at these beaches. Great place to grab Primanti Brothers and spend the afternoon.

I suggest everyone go! Beautiful views, nice beaches, clean, and a lot of areas for parking and easy access. Nice drive, beautiful fall colors, and lots of small things to do. Playgrounds, bathrooms, and parking all year. We were able to get out and in easily. Found lots of seashells and my littles had a blast. Take extra clothes, kids don't care if its cold!

It is absolutely beautiful here. I love view. It's nice sand to walk in, we had a great time! Free to go, and you can rent boats. I think they are pet friendly as well. I didn't go anywhere other than the beach area, so I'm not sure about restrooms, picnic areas, or playground.

The water was very shallow at beach 7, only up to hip height on an adult. We considered bringing floats but I was glad we didn't. I don't know for sure but we saw nobody using them &after being told we couldn't pass a pool football in the water I doubt floats would be allowed. Not the lake adventure we're used to &not what we were looking for. Beautiful area &you can see through the water all the way out to the buoy perimeter.

Great experience if you have the chance to go. It brought back my childhood. There was so much history there. You were able to tough items that other famous actors have touched, like the Studio A door that many famouse actors have passed through and there is a sign that tells you who the actors were.

So much to see! The first part of the museum tells the stories of Lucy and Desi as real people. Their family backgrounds, how they met, how their careers evolved. The second part focuses on their I Love Lucy lives. You learn about technical innovations and Desilu Productions. All done really well. You should allow at least 2.5 hours and maybe a little longer to view everything. One of my favorite things was the reproduction of the living room and kitchen set.

We visited the museum on a Saturday in September. We bought tickets online the night before. You can buy a combo pass for this and the comedy center. We did that and I think it was $43/person for both. I had to select a time online and we arrived before that and did not have to wait. The museum is well done. There is a lot to see and a lot of information about Lucy’s childhood and history, Desi’s childhood and history and their relationship and achievements as a couple. We learned a lot. There is a photo opportunity inside at one of the sets. That was $10 and there is a photographer there to take the photo for you. We don’t do that but saw others doing it. The tour is in two separate buildings but they are close together. Once you go through the one, you just go out on the sidewalk and walk a few steps to the next building. There were no stairs involved. The staff member at check in was friendly. I think we spent about 2 hours here. There is a gift shop in both buildings. We had an enjoyable time.

This has been on our list of places to see for a few years now. My wife and I are both fans of Lucy, and thought a stop on our way to see friends in Buffalo was just the right time, and we are so glad we did. Rememinising about the old "I Love Lucy Show", and learning things about how it came to be and behind the scenes stuff was so much fun. After the actual tour in the building, we went to the cemetery to visit her grave and pay our respects. It was a nice afternoon remembering a television icon, who changes the landscape of broadcasting forever!

Neat place for those who recall I Love Lucy or who love Lucille Ball or Desi Arnaz. Lots of memorabilia and a few videos that add to them. You can see most of the museum in an hour to an hour and a half and including the attached Desilu next door. Street parking is possible when we were there on a Thursday in the Fall and it was free for up to two hours. Some streets have meters though.

Great museum. Definitely need to come again. One of my favorite places I've ever visited.

Loved it!! One side is Lucy and Desi the other side is I Love Lucy! Both with their own gift shops.

My family's first trip to Waldameer Park in Lake Erie, PA was surprisingly enjoyable. I got discounted tickets from my local township municipal building. The combo ticket for the water and amusement park was just $42. I was a bit let down that the park operates entirely cashless. When I got there, there was plenty of parking available. I have to admit, I wasn't too confident in the bag check-in process for entering the water park. It seemed like visitors' bags weren't checked thoroughly because I spotted someone in the wave pool area casually sipping from a slightly hidden glass mini bottle of vodka while lounging on a chair. I went on a less busy weekday, so the lines for slides and rides were minimal. The prices at the concession stands were quite reasonable! The park was well-kept, but the yellow jacket problem was pretty intense! The concession stand in the water park had only 2 registers open, even though it could handle a lot more customers to avoid long lines during the midday rush. All in all, the park is really nice and has a little something for everyone!

Waldameer has always been our favorite park. Family friendly, always clean and rides are well maintained. This Family owned park is a one of a kind experience. Lots of newer rides, plus some nostalgic favorites! I absolutely adore Waldameer🥰

Great park enjoyed a Sunday with family and all the grandchildren. We did water park and rides then back to water park and more rides. Food was good and park was clean. It was very busy but was a hot day. We had a good day. Would come again.

If you get the chance, GO! Bring your own cooler in, $40 for an adult person , free parking. We had a great time even though it was 95 degrees 💕 There's a white sand beach on Lake Erie and a casino as well

Great amusement park! Lines weren't long even on a beautiful Sunday in the summer. Fun assortment of rides, dog (and cat!) friendly with dog water fountains. Every vendor we asked for ice to put in our dog's water bowl were so kind and friendly. A good time for all ages!

We had a fantastic family day at Waldameer, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a fun, affordable, and family-friendly amusement park that doesn’t feel like a chaotic mega-resort. We didn’t do the water park this time around, just stuck to the dry rides, and it was more than enough for a full day of fun. Our kids (ranging in age from toddler to tween) all had a blast. The ride selection is surprisingly diverse for a smaller park—plenty of options for younger kids, some decent thrills for the older ones, and even a few rides we could all enjoy together. The park feels nostalgic in the best way—clean, safe, and not overly commercialized. You can actually relax and enjoy yourself without being bombarded by ads and upcharges at every turn. One of the things we appreciated most was how accessible and accommodating the park was for our whole crew. Grandma came along with us but didn’t plan on riding anything. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that non-riders don’t need to pay admission, which is a huge plus. She got to walk around with us, take pictures, enjoy the scenery, and even sneak in some snacks here and there—all without feeling like she was paying just to be a spectator. That’s something most theme parks wouldn’t allow, and it made a big difference for us. The park is really well laid out, with plenty of shade, benches, and places to rest—great for grandparents or anyone who needs a break from the sun. Lines were reasonable, staff were friendly, and it was easy to navigate with our group. We didn’t eat much at the park, but there were plenty of food stands around with fair prices (again, a nice change from most parks). And being able to bring your own food or leave and come back with your hand stamp is a huge bonus for families trying to stick to a budget. Overall, Waldameer is the kind of place that feels like it was designed with families in mind. It’s charming without trying too hard, affordable without cutting corners, and just an all-around great day for kids and adults alike. We’ll absolutely be back—and maybe next time we’ll try out the water park too!

This is an great park for younger kids or individuals who enjoy smaller rides. The price is great for the combo ticket and the waterpark was really enjoyable for adults and kids alike. The park is small but the layout is confusing. I noticed that the ride operators and lifeguards were not fully attentive. The wait time for rides can be super long even if the line doesn’t look that long. The employees are slow to get everyone on and off the rides. It is cool that you can enter the park without a ticket and even choose to pay per ride. We got food at the food stand near the wave pool and the wait was 30 minutes long even though there were only 5 people in front of me. The flow was awful but the food was decent. We encountered a few rude guests but nothing too major. I would probably return but I preferred the waterpark over the normal park.

The entire staff is beyond exceptional, absolutely five stars.When it comes to the staff. We have stayed here before and we're seeing all the little improvements that they keep doing to keep this place fresh and relevant. The rooms are gorgeous and very clean. We are already planning our next.Trip here. We enjoyed many of the amenities, especially the indoor outdoor hot tug, the pool, the fitness room, the golf course. We came off-season. So many attractions are only available on the weekend. Like the spa, the adventure line.

What a fantastic place this is. It’s a time capsule from days that are unfortunately long gone. The property is aged but well kept. The food at Bistro 210 was really great (we had the brisket reuben), and the bar has great atmosphere, and really cool layout. It is a beautiful property tucked away in the farmlands. Plenty for everyone to do. My wife and I were there for an overnight. We ended up staying and walking around the property for a few hours after. Such a cool vibe. We live 5 hours away in Michigan, and we will be back for a long week for sure. We had a great stay.

There are a lot of good things about Peek'n Peek. Then there are things that are aggravating. The aggravating things? The $30 resort fee. It is a rip off. We were asked if we were going to use the pool and amenities. We were not. The rooms are clean but extremely dated. The toilet is too close to the floor. The carpeting is clean but worn. I absolutely hate carpeting in hotel rooms. The good things? The staff is fantastic. Very polite and professional. The staff in the bar/restaurant are excellent. The food is outstanding. I just love the bar area. Very comfortable seating and good drinks. We were there for the, "Wrust party ever." It was an Octoberfest type party with beer samples, a lot of beer samples. Very fun. The large German band was outstanding. Just excellent. One huge problem? Not enough seating. We had to eat standing. There was enough seating for perhaps 30% of the people attending. That was a big drawback. It would have been nice if they had Octoberfest style tents in the back. I wasn't the only one complaining about it.

My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights for a mini spa vacation before going back to school. The Inn, spa and Adventure Park were understaffed - but they let us know in advance and modified our reservations with no added cost. We were not able to get pedicures so we brought all of the stuff with us to do them ourselves. We did a session in the salt therapy room, purchased some therapeutic bath salts for the jet tub in our room, ordered room service which was super fast and delicious and spent a spa evening in our room. The dry cranch chicken wings were amazing (we're from Buffalo NY and we are chicken wing fanatics)- very crispy, juicy and salty which is what we like. We ordered garlic butter on the side for the wings just to try too, and I put a little on the the brisket mac and cheese (which was already delicious) but I did really like the kick of flavor it added. The pool area(s) are awesome. The fitness center is a little outdated but far, far nicer with more equipment than most inns and hotels. The Adventure park was fun as well. All of the staff were exceptionally helpful and very nice.

I attended an event at the Peak last Saturday. I must say that it was one of the best events I have attended this year! They did a fantastic job with the theme and festivities. I can't wait to attend next year's Wurst Party Ever! Special thanks to the staff members Victoria H, Brittany C, Frankie, and Haille for the professional services during our stay!

Did not stay over but went for Fall Fest. Omg how gorgeous it is there! The food at the festival was delicious, great band was playing, many wonderful vendors. Just a beautiful place to visit. And I rode the ski lift. Great views!!

Stayed for 2 nights to celebrate our wedding. This comprises of doing the all the offered activities such as put put, rope courses etc etc. as well as dining in at the Bistro. We chose this facility as we have been a solid Patreon of the Ski slopes during the winter season for many years as well as playing many 18 holes at the Upper Course during the golfing season. However, Both my wife and I were very disappointed with the quality of the Presidential Suite (Tiffany Suite) during our stay to commemorate our wedding. The shower fixture needs major deep cleaning from all the calcium build up and the same goes to the shower glas enclosure. The most disappointing part is the jacuzzi which was the main reason we went for this particular suite. As soon as we turned on the jets, orange scum started coming out and floats to the top. We tried using towels to clean it up but ended up not being able to utilize the jacuzzi out of disgust. And here is the main kicker, we found a MUSHROOM 🍄 growing out of the grout line. I must not be alone when i say that we all much prefer a cherry on top... Hold the mushroom... We had notify the issue and was told a manager had been notified and they will get back to us the next day. Well, we waited until check out time and was not approached nor reached out by anyone. Very disappointed considering it cost almost $700 just for the room during our stay.

We had a wonderful experience. Even with different schools visiting the lines went quick. Everything was extremely clean. The only thing that I would say is that certain staff would let my daughter go down the sides by herself, as she is 48 in tall. However some staff when they switched over would not let her go without an adult. Other than that, there was so much to do. Not only is there a water park, but there's also an arcade. And there are lots of food courts and Quaker steak is attached to it. Play kids also love looking out over the balcony at the boogie board place and the wave pool. And they had so much fun at the boogie boards, and the instructors were so sweet. If they fell off too soon, the instructors would let them have another turn.

We had a great experience. A few things to keep in mind when visiting, take your own towels. It is a Cashless resort as well. Not a ton to do for your older kids/adults to do but still able to have some fun. The staircase for the water slides is a tight squeeze with inner tubes that all use the same stair case with 3 lines. All in all had a lovely experience, not enough lifeguards for all the areas. Definitely look for the best deals when going to enjoy the most for the least!

Found an amazing deal online! Included 4 passes for 2 days and an overnight stay! Staff was super friendly, facilities all very clean, kept the floors in bathrooms dry, and lots of places to sit. No long waits for slides and great kid area. Lifeguards watch and do their jobs. Arcade is huge. Only thing is food prices are a little steep.

Had a great time at Splash Lagoon with the family! It’s a classic indoor water park in Erie and perfect for kids and family members of all ages. Plenty of fun attractions, clean facilities, and a great way to spend the day together. Highly recommend for a family outing

SENSORY DAY 2025 (Friday May 16th) We took advantage of sensory day at Splash Lagoon. They had a special rate for an overnight stay. We were able to stay overnight and 4 passes to the water park, plus we bought an extra pass because we are a family of 5. Check in day you can arrive as early at noon for the water park and 4pm for your hotel. Check.out day the Waterpark opens at 11am for hotel guests only and noon for everyone else, you are welcome to stay all day. Destiny, at the Wyndham front desk, was so professional and efficient. We got our wristbands and headed over to the Waterpark. We found the Waterpark to be so clean, the staff was plentiful and accommodating. This place is very well run. There are alot of lifeguards and they are very focused on the water and safety of the guests, but not rigid. The food at the café was about $12 per meal, burgers-pizza-hot dogs-fries-chicken tenders-ice cream. There is so much seating you will not have a problem finding a seat. Tables and chairs as well as pool chairs by the wave pool. There are bathrooms located throughout the park, changing areas, family changing as well. There are lockers to rent at a kiosk, very easy and affordable. **you do need your own towels, they do not provide them at this location ** The hotel was pretty nice for what we paid. Our room was on the 5th floor. We had 2 queen/full beds as well as a pull out. Plenty of pillows and towels. There is a jacuzzi tub that was big enough for me, my 8yo and 5yo to soak in together. We had a coffee table, and eating table, a desk, a swivel tv, a mini fridge and freezer, microwave and a small bar area with a coffee pot. Breakfast was your usual free breakfast. Eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, waffle makers, juice, fruit, breads. Lots of coffee. There was a ton of room to eat in the breakfast bar. The staff there were hustling and getting everything cleaned up as guests turned over. Overall, this was a great stay.

Took our kids there as a weekend getaway and they absolutely loved it! They are talking about making reservations again they had so much fun. Their favorite thing to do was the surf simulator, the staff there Saturday was great with kids encouraged them to do their best followed by high fives and the urge to try again! All staff seemed friendly, restrooms and changing rooms were very well maintained and clean, floors we're kept as dry as possible to prevent fall hazards. We will definitely be going again

First time I visited the Zippo /Case Museum & Flagship store with my friends. Very nice store with a lot of various zippo lighters with unique colors and designs! Zippo and Case clothing! Museum part was incredible awesome and history of zippo and history of Case are quite interesting background history. Case knifes are great quality ones get from what I have heard. Great place to visit in afternoon ! Definitely recommend this place to anyone !

We went there about a year ago...and it was closed for a water main break. So we tried it again today. It was a pretty impressive museum. Lots of history to look at and read. Gift shop. I'd go again! It was packed. Lots of other folks had the same idea. It's free to enter.

An interesting museum that takes you through the timelines of zippo lighter and knives. A well curated free museum in Bradford to enjoy the story of Zippo. There is an attached store in case you want to grab a souvenir on your way back.

This is very cool! Plan to go every year when we are here. Lots of information to take in. It's one of the most affordable museums to go to.

8-22-2025 - So my hubby had a couple of #zippolighters from his young adulthood era. One has bugged him for decades because it stopped making the tell tale sound when the #zippo lighter is opened. So he did a bit of research and found that you can send them back to the maker for repairs because they guarantee them for life for workmanship. Now, that doesn't mean where you've dropped, dented, kicked around, or otherwise abused them. That's on you. Strictly workmanship. So he packaged them up, filled out the paperwork, and sent them off for repairs. He is anxiously waiting on their return ....... more to come 8-25-25 Received email acknowledging the receipt of the antique zippo lighters. They 4 to 5 weeks to repair or replace. Fingers crossed, they will be able to repair the lights of my youth..... More to come 8/26/25 He has heard back from #Zippo, they have made the repairs and they will be shipping back soon. He can hardly wait to get them back. 8/29/25 - So excited, package received with my zippo lighters! They replaced both inserts with new ones and they fixed the hinges and gave me back the patented zippo click! It appears they cleaned and buffed the casings too! My hubby is so happy with #Zippo! ❤️&follow for more places to visit and enjoy! #Zippo #Case #SWFLeats #EatPlaySWFL #EnjoySWFL #EnjoyFlorida #leecounty #leecountysouthwestflorida #ExploreFlorida #ExploreSWFlorida

I wish I had kept my old zippos. I do have a very vintage knife. It's a leisure self guided tour. Lots of merchandise for sale. You can actually see the employees working in the lighters. Get there before 3. That must be quitting time.

This visit was for my partner who is a collector.. amazing history in the museum..staff were not enthusiastic….Travelled from 🇬🇧 uk

Enjoyed my visit to the Kinzua Bridge State Park a great deal. We had a good fall day. We visited the visitor center (excellent helpful staff) and walked along the bridge (that remains). We then walked a nearby trail loop before heading down to the valley floor and the wreckage caused by a F1 tornado in 2003. The track down to the valley floor was steep but we managed OK and was well worth it. The valley floor has a beautiful stream and it is interesting to get up close to the wreckage. A unique experience. The climb back up was hard but on reflection easier than expected; arguably easier than the walk down. Writing this review the next day I can confirm some soreness in leg muscles.

My passion lies in exploring historical antiquities and gaining insights into the past before these elements fade away. I often contemplate the experiences of individuals who achieved remarkable feats throughout history. The Kinzua Bridge, for example, is a testament to human triumph and is rich in historical significance. This bridge is truly a must-see destination, offering a spectacular view of the valley and an impressive height.

Always wanted to visit in Fall. Finally made it yesterday! Little bit late for the colors but still beautiful! Great visit center with nice friendly staff! Great information is inside building! Great view area and the overview bridge are great views! May come back next summer!

Absolutely gorgeous views. The Visitor Center has a lot of interactive displays and exhibits. Workers are nice and courteous. Little Sister's Big Rig has super delicious food. The Elk burger was the best burger I've had in a long time.

Love this place. Me and my wife had a great time even tho they are doing work on the bridge. Removed the tracks and the glass at the end you can’t see down do to the work going on. But still a good time

If you haven’t been here what are you waiting for!? Stunning views and awesome for sunrise and sunsets. Plenty of walking trails and areas to just stand and admire Mother Nature. Walk out to the end of the observation deck and get a full view of the valley floor bed below both East and West. No matter what this is a wonderful place to visit. There are walking trails to check out the floor bed below. And little areas to enjoy your lunch or a snack. I do recommend wearing a hoodie or something a little warmer if you get cold easy during September months and beyond. (Always check the weather). 10/10 this needs to be on your destination stop.

The ride out here was very fun, I’m currently trying to ride around to all 10 of the PA wild locations as they are all very unique. The views here are incredible. I even got to watch a storm roll in. I would love to come back in the fall and hike the lower trail. The visitors center is very informative. I liked all the history behind this site. Even though the bridge is currently under some rehabilitation it’s hardly noticeable and you’re able to see everything.

Staff is nice. So much is closed or under construction. This is pretty small for what they charge. The now have reciprocity with other zoos. A few years ago the lost their accreditation. Tigers, lions, elephants are there right at the beginning. The aquarium is nice but not amazing.

It was my first time there. I have been hearing a lot about this place from my daughter who has been living out here for many years. She always wanted to get me there and she and her fiance got me there. I absolutely loved it. We spent the entire day there just immersed in the fish and animals. Even though there was construction going on, it was still a very special day. I learned some interesting things about some of the animals which was a true benefit. The place is exciting, busy and well worth going.

Great size zoo with lots of animals to see, as well as kid-friendly things like play areas. It is quite hilly (it is Pittsburgh after all!) but scenic and a good way to spend a family day. The food is ok, actually has more options than many zoos I've been to. We ate at the Jambo Grill. There was a bit of a wait for food, but it was tasty enough and we LOVED sitting outside and watching the giraffe and zebras as we ate.

I felt so disappointed with my recent and first time visiting the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium last Saturday. There was an event going on, "Zoo Boo" or something like that, so obviously there were lots of people and kids. There was some parts under construction, too. I wish there were more staff wandering around as it looked chaotic with the people walking everywhere. There were less animals that were out and it makes me really sad. I hope they are all okay though. Location wise, it was super crowded in the parking area that some people even parked in the grassy field. There weren't a lot of signs and directions so it can be a little disorienting navigating the whole zoo. Now I don't know if it were just the time of the year, but there weren't a lot of animals around and outside when we visited. Shocking to realize there were no bears in sight at all. Nice to see some tigers, lions, cheetahs and others, though. The souvenir shops were nice and well stocked. Just a bit pricey. They sell animal stuffed toys that are not even in this zoo. 🥲 Anyway, I'd still come back here im the future, and enjoy the area. Hopefully I will be able to change this review and give it 5 stars.

It's a really nice zoo. I would have given it more stars but quite a few exhibits were closed. Still had to pay full price and they closed at 4pm, which made it feel like you had to rush through the zoo.

Attended the 2025 Jack-o'-lantern Extravaganza. There was a train and carousel ride, and what felt like billions of jack-o'-lanterns. Also consumed a spiked hot apple cider, and let me tell you... Definitely helped keep my hands and throat warm during the walk through. Overall, it was a decent evening. Didn't get to see any animals (after dark). The Pittsburgh zoo is always on my recommended list!

It was an amazing place! My daughters and I had a blast. The only reason for 4 stars is the fact the most of the monkey and bear exhibits were empty. For the price I paid I wanted to see more animals and less empty exhibits

If you like reading and stopping at every display, you should plan to spend more than one full day here. As two nerds from out of state, my husband and I loved every moment here. The dinosaurs were like nothing we've seen before and the geology exhibit was super cool. I loved that there were placards near exhibits that are now considered out of date in some way (native American culture and the fossil fuel areas, for example). This is easily one of the best museums I've ever visited. This museum was so captivating that we came back for a second day, only to find out it was closed all day due to a private event. I wish there had been signage or staff letting us know :( Hence the four star review.

Excellent experience wear some comfortable shoes dress light. Lots of walking and they do have an elevator for ones in wheelchairs or strollers. Once you park in the garage the museum is on level 6 the elevator is a long wait but worth it. You can not leave the parking garage with cash they only take credit cards. Minimum is $10.00. Went today Saturday collage kids everywhere. Enjoy

This is a great experience for those who not only love natural history, but also love the architecture of the gilded age! The natural history exhibits are informative, but not exhausting, giving enough information about scientific discoveries and processes without boring the public. The dinosaurs are some of their most impressive displays, showcasing a variety of species including the famous tyrannosaurus rex, to which this one is the holotype specimen, meaning that it is the first to be recognized as a tyrannosaurus and the gold standard that others use to compare other specimens. The mammal exhibits detail natural life from all around the world, and many of course highlight the local wildlife (western Pennsylvania and specifically the laurel highlands). The bug exhibit was also an impressive collection. The only complaint that I had was that the art museum and the natural history museum were difficult to navigate, though their collections were also impressive despite the Ancient Egyptian exhibits being closed. The gems and minerals were also one of the most elaborate displays of them that I have seen with the exception being the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Overall, this is a great museum for those who want to learn about natural history in the local region as well as around the world.

Fantastic, magical day the Natural History Museum. Some of the absolute best dinosaur displays Ive seen. Breathtaking exhibit. Also an incredible Bird Hall. The Hall of American and African Animals is also fantastic. We were very excited to see the Egyptian Exhibit, but it was sadly closed. The section with gems and minerals to enormous and had we had more than a day to do the museum we would have spent more time exploring that as well. There is a cafe in the basement that had a nice selection of hot and cold items. The store was really comprehensive. Parking was very expensive which seemed excessive given its on top of the cost of getting into the museum. But overall it was worth it. If you take the elevator mind the note inside the elevator that tells you what floor to use for the Museum. Of note, one ticket gets you into BOTH the Museum of Natural History and the Art Museum and both are under the same roof. You can explore each one and the stores are very close to each other.

If you have a chance to go to the Haunted Museum event they hold around Halloween, I highly recommend going!!! It was so fun. They had trivia and photo ops and you could add on food and drinks. It was so fun, and costumes are allowed as long as you follow guidelines. Event is 21+

Amazing museum where you can spend the whole afternoon! We absolutely loved the Polar life/Indian tribe section, wildlife dioramas, the Dino display, the hall of minerals (don't miss this one!!!) and the sculpture hall. Everyone from the staff is very friendly and helpful.

The family and I had a fantastic time. There is so much to see that you would have to go back a second time just to see everything. The children and wife were ecstatic. The stone and gem area was really cool too. The boys loved putting the pots together in the Egypt area. I don’t wanna say anymore. I don’t want to ruin the experience for you. Just go and see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did. It’s worth every penny.

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, my dad, my husband, and I decided to explore Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. First and foremost, the parking situation is absolutely atrocious! We drove around for probably about 15 minutes, just looking for a spot before we finally managed to find one about half a mile away. I think with it being located so close to two university campuses, parking is never good here. The terrible parking situation aside, this place is absolutely beautiful! The variety of plants and various vegetation in beautiful arrangements was definitely something to behold. We had such a wonderful time, exploring the exhibits and even had fun looking for the hidden toucans in the various rooms. Such a pleasant afternoon and definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Pittsburgh.

Phipps Conservatory is an absolute masterpiece. As an educated plant collector and a partner with a degree in horticulture, we came in with high expectations—and Phipps exceeded every one of them, earning a 10/5 rating from us. ​The level of thought and care that has gone into every single space is breathtaking. Each room is a uniquely curated world, from the stunning orchid displays to the thoughtful tropical collections. The plants are not only healthy and vibrant but are presented with an artistry that makes it clear this is a place run by people who are truly passionate about their craft. ​We spent hours wandering through the exhibits, constantly discovering new, fascinating details and unique specimens that held our attention. The Phipps experience is a testament to what a botanical garden can be when it's treated as a living work of art. It’s not just a collection of plants; it’s an immersive, educational, and inspiring journey. We can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who appreciates the beauty and science of the plant world."

Beautiful botanical gardens! The pictures speak for themselves. The art in the orchid room was my favorite. Mysterious little statue men. I wish the signage was a little more obvious so I could know what I’m looking at.

Adding my 5 star review into the mix because this place was amazing. Beautiful botanical displays of all shapes and sizes all under these magnificent victorian glass greenhouses. You will feel like you were magically whisked off to London or Paris for the afternoon. Worth the visit to escape the madness and chaos of the world around you. Today I needed a nice, calm, relaxing, warm, inviting stroll through a garden and I was glad I stopped by. Thank you to everyone, especially Barbara keeping us going left and on the tour. 😎😎

Really cool experience for those interested in botanical gardens. Well worth the price of admission. Parking can be a tad tough to find on the street so be sure to plan ahead. Plenty of exhibits inside with rooms dedicated to rainforests, chrysanthemums, and ferns. My favorite was the cactus room!

I’ve been to several large botanical gardens, but the Phipps absolutely blew me away! My dad and I spent several hours walking around and I left feeling inspired and having learned a lot. This is an absolute must-visit, even if you’re only in Pittsburgh for a day or two.

What a wonderful experience! We've been here many times through the years and its always enjoyable. The Fall flower show was especially beautiful, and a treat to stroll from one area to another. I look forward to the next time here. We did learn if you go first thing in the morning (9:30), parking is readily available.

Idlewild is an awesome park for families with young kids. The rides are geared towards children with several allowing toddlers to ride with an adult. It is a much better value for young families than parks like Hershey or Kings Dominion who have very small young kids section. The water park is awesome too! We spent half the day at just the Waterpark. Also, buy your tickets online in advance. The tickets at the gate are much more expensive!

My children and their spouses and my 6 grandchildren had a great time from opening to closing! We had so much fun last year that we made it part of our annual family vacation. Looking forward to next summer already! Very clean , well maintained park , including Soak Zone.

Went for our daughters early birthday 🎈🎂 present from her grandparents and she had a blast. The park is great for small kids!! Definitely recommend a wagon!!

Long lines for food (1 person working bbq shack and 1 hr wait, no trays, no silverware), rides closed due to staff shortage, maintenance, and removed (slides)... I used to love this place... going downhill fast... lack of maintenance and appearance. If due to lack of help, reduce ticket price or close when little help so people dont have to have a bad experience. We paid full price for 1/2 the experience. Maybe the owners and senior leaders should come thru when short staffed and see how they like the treatment. They wont... they want their full ticket price collected no matter the experience for the public. Was like this last year too... figured they fixed it up since.... Edit as the day goes on.. after the long wait, my BBQ sandwich was cold, as was mac n cheese and half ripe watermelon. Son bought the $25 unlimited refill souvenir cup only to find out it has a QR code and only gives a LIMITED # of refills. Caramel apple not available, as "apples aren't ripe yet".

I will start with what really ticked me off…. We were in the lazy river and just kept going around cause it was peaceful. My handicapped daughter cannot do much so we stayed. While we’re in there and it’s hot out 88 degrees they kicked everyone out and said they were closing it for about a half hour so everyone could take breaks. You don’t close a water attraction when there aren’t many for breaks, you swap out workers for breaks. It was closed for over an hour. I’ve never seen anything like that and I’ve been to many parks. So we had to go to the pirate play area and the worker complained at me for going down the little water slide with my daughter who doesn’t walk. I’m like she doesn’t walk he’s like I understand I’m like no you don’t. Next the only bathroom with a big changing table smelled like pee, it was all over the floor. I didn’t see anyone clean the bathrooms at all. The food was so expensive. I’m from Eastern PA and you guys are more expensive than them. Also closing at 7 is really early. Sesame place stays open later and that’s geared towards little kids. We would’ve went to Kennywood, but it was too hot. I love the big changing table. I love how you just check in with your tickets when you park. I love how the parking is right there. Some of the workers were really nice. The wait times for rides were next to nothing which was nice, but it was a Monday.

We have season passes and have been several times this year have had a great time the only thing I would ask you to change is when people are filling their cups can you please make sure there is ice there is never ice because the soda machines do not make ice someone has to fill it and it is always empty but other than that we have had the best time with our 5 grandkids there we will continue to come back

We love Idlewild! It is such a great park, and we have made so many fun memories there! For our family, the season passes; they are so worth it! You can go as often as you want in the summer and fall with most of the passes. Their payment plan system they have is great and can make it more affordable for families. Another little thing I wanted to mention. Sometimes we have people in our group that need a wheelchair, and I noticed this year they are offering mobility scooter rentals now, which is great!

Parking was fairly easy with plenty of parking spots(if you selected a your time online and just show up for your scheduled time) if not parking can be much harder. Once you arrive you check in at the gate and then the pavilion at the desk in the middle and they will get you in the next tour regardless of scheduled time. The type was about an hour and it feels very scripted to stay on time. But you have time to go through parts of the house and all of the ground on your own. We found the experience to be very good and run very smoothly. The audio devices were good so you could always hear your guide even if you couldn't see them. Give this review a like 👍❤️ now please. And thanks for reading. There are restrooms at the pavilion but those are the only ones. There is a cafe with coffee and some light snacks. There is a building about the Kaufman's, if you don't know then go to that exhibit before or after your tour. There is is a gift shop with lots of stuff for your flw fix. Pro tip: Definitely but tickets online in advance for the best experience 💯

Book tickets ahead of time. Parking is easy, but you’ll need to wait for your scheduled entry. Restroom is available as well. It’s an easy walk around the site. I’ve always admired Frank Lloyd Wright’s work—Fallingwater is beautiful and unique, though it didn’t move me as much as some of his nearby designs. Still, worth visiting at least once for its remarkable setting and design.

Would have been 5 stars, but a third of the outdoor balconies are under renovation (new stucco and paint), detracting from FLW's elegant design. Didn't expect to need reservations during the fall shoulder season, but when we arrived at the gate we were told all tours were booked for the day! $20 per person to walk the grounds and the exterior of the buildings (there are two!) was well worth it, even though we didn't get to go inside.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius! I was fortunate enough to tour this on a ninth grade field trip; decades later privileged to revisit this architectural marvel. The harmony between nature and home, water actually runs through the home, with a pool, plunge pool, stairs that descend into the stream and of course, falling water. Step back in time to see how the ultra wealthy Kaufmann’s spent weekends or holidays outside of Pittsburgh. Original furnishings, appliances and priceless art await you as if you stepped back in time. The in-depth tour was exceptional; Ron C. and all the staff are rightfully passionate about the preservation and sharing of this one of a kind masterpiece! Recommend making reservations for tours well in advance. There is free dedicated parking. Please note the tours are not ADA friendly with uneven ground and narrow rock stairs.

So spectacular to see one of the most iconic homes ever built in person, again - the first time I was here was in June of 2020 and the health restrictions kept us from touring the inside, so this fall season view and inside tour of the magical Fallingwater masterpiece of Frank Lloyd Wright was all I'd hoped for and more! Frank's a family favorite, and I've toured many homes and displays of his work in NY, IL, VA, PA, OR, CA and AZ, but this one takes you to another place and time more distinctly. Hearing the little extra details of the family, their style, the furniture, the history from its construction to its endowment, and the maintenance of such a monstrous endeavor plus current renovations were all fascinating! The only thing that could possibly make it better was if it was a Bed & Breakfast and you could have your morning coffee with Frank and the owners themselves. To live in a FLW house must truly be a magical existence. I booked a tour, and recommend doing so in advance.

Stopped here while in the area. House and grounds tours were sold out so all we could do was the $20 property pass. It was well worth it. It was a beautiful day and we were able to follow the well marked paths, look in the windows and even walk on all the patios and porches of the home and carriage/guest house. The walk to the lookout is worth it as well. If you have any interest in FLW, or architecture, this is not to be missed.

We had a wonderful tour guide that provided information on this house & the that lived & vacation there. The house is amazing everything is be conserved to protect it for the future. The grounds were beautiful. Lots of trails to walk & explore. We tried but the rain wouldn’t cooperate. The have a nice cafe with drinks, bake goods & sandwiches.

This was an amazing experience for my wife and I. Plenty of visitors and lots of chances for we Louisiana natives to vist locals, and visitors from all over. Weather was really nice, colors have started, the river was awsome. The buckwheat festival was on going. We also ran across a young lady getting married in the middle of the river. She had on white mech wedding train that was as cute as it could be. Icecream, pizza, and sandwiches what more could you ask for. Visited a 84 yr young woman with a history from out of a Movie storyline.

Beautiful area for a hike or just to take in the majestic views of the area waterfall. My wife and I went here to hike an easier trail as part of a small weekend away, and it was a lovely time taking in all the nature. The trails were well marked and explained, and we enjoyed that though our trail wasn't an "easy" hike, it was very doable and there were options throughout to divert off onto other paths. The area is also nice, housing a number of restaurants and shops. Worth the stop if in the Ohiopyle area.

I visited Cucumber Falls and had a little adventure crossing the creek to get as close as possible to the falls. It had just rained, so the ground was pretty muddy and slippery—which definitely made things more exciting! The waterfall itself isn’t huge or particularly unique, but the experience was still really fun. The natural beauty of the area and the small challenge of getting to the best viewpoint made it a memorable stop. A great little adventure if you enjoy the outdoors!

Pretty. Me and my dog did Ferncliff Peninsula trails. Trails nicely maintained. I should have taken a pic of trail info at beginning of trail. I did make a wrong turn and ended up taking a little more hilly, longer walk, and rocky trail. It was not too busy when I started about 10 am but by time I got back to parking lot lots people around. Plus parking lot full. Still fun and definitely will go back. Penny gives it 5 paws!

“Ohiopyle State Park”. If you're looking for adventure, this is the place. It's the best whitewater rafting destination in the East and has some of the most beautiful waterfalls (look out for Ohiopyle Falls). 🛶 For Adrenaline Junkies: The Youghiogheny River offers epic rapids. From the upper to the lower section, there's a challenge for every skill level. 🚴 For Cyclists and Hikers: The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) runs right through the park. It's a perfect scenic ride. 📸 For Photography Lovers: Cucumber Falls and Baughman Rock Lookout are must-see spots for capturing breathtaking scenery. Ohiopyle State Park in Pennsylvania is a large natural park centered around the Youghiogheny River. It's a top destination for whitewater rafting and a key hub for biking (via the GAP Trail) and hiking. Its highlights include Ohiopyle Falls and the famous Natural Slides. It's an ideal spot for outdoor adventurers. The park is divine. It's a hidden gem that you have to discover if you haven't visited it yet; it's one of the many wonders that Pennsylvania has to offer. 10/10 💞

We rode bikes from Ohiopyle State Park all the way to Confluence — it’s truly heaven on earth in the fall. The colours, the air, the peaceful river views… pictures can tell the story better than words. We went on a weekday, so it was wonderfully quiet with very few people around. Absolutely beautiful and serene

I had an amazing time visiting Ohiopyle State Park! The park has a great mix of relaxing spots and adventure. I walked along part of the Great Allegheny Passage and loved how peaceful it was. Even with other visitors around, it never felt crowded. The river views, the bridges, and the sound of the rapids give the whole place such a calming vibe. If you’re into hiking, scenery, or just want a nice day outdoors, Ohiopyle is perfect. I’d love to come back.
