What a cool spot! So much character and many options for food, shops, and experiences! A gem in DC, IMO. Lots of motivational art, so if you’re in the need of an artistic pep talk and so many different cuisines of food you might be craving, this is the place!

Union Market is a vibrant destination packed with diverse food vendors serving everything from casual meals to unique drinks and delicious desserts, all at reasonable prices. The fun extends beyond the market, especially with events like this weekend's "Race the District" go-karting in the parking lot. With its many surrounding wholesale stores, the whole area is full of interesting things to explore.

DC has an incredible variety of restaurants for every taste and foodie level, but when I don’t want to overthink where to eat, I always head to Union Market. It’s the perfect place to walk in and choose whatever you’re craving in the moment — Mexican, American, Asian, seafood, BBQ — you name it, they have it. Last time, I went for brisket at 2Fifty’s, and it was amazing. Their combos are perfect if you're in the mood for slow-cooked meat, and the portions are generous enough to share. I also love that this place has a spacious outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your food in the fresh air — such a great vibe. Beyond the food options, you can also find market essentials like fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, coffee, flowers, and several specialty shops. It’s a place where you can eat, explore, and shop all in one stop. Always a reliable, vibrant, and delicious experience. If you liked my photos, follow me on Instagram @framinizingdiary.

I tried Fishwife and got the Invasive Fish Sando. This is also the first time I have been at this market. The blue catfish was deep fried light yet with a lot of crispness. It was definitely worth the purchase because it didn't feel heavy in the stomach. The wait time was about 10-15 minutes because they were quite a number of people, but the employees were patient and considerate as they made sure that each customer got their order by double checking and had good attitude! I would definitely come visit again!

Loved this space!! Excellent location for an evening out with friends overlooking a cool area with lots of food and drinks options. Definitely recommend 👌

Came without big expectations, but found everything I needed for the perfect day — food, coffee, gifts, dessert, music, and atmosphere all in one place. 💫

Something for everyone can be found here. Great food and culture combine for this large indoor market. A large variety of different entrees, prepared food, market fresh items or sundries. A must visit if you're in DC. Kids friendly. Prices are reasonable. I'll stop by anytime I'm in the area.

The big picture: this place is well-meaning, yet underwhelming compared to the other historical sites in the Washington, DC region. Pros: the staff members are very nice and accommodating. I recommend the cottage tour because of our knowledgeable tour guide who taught me things I did not know about President Lincoln and his family. Cons: I do not recommend outdoor walking tour with the mobile app audio narration. You have to keep the app open on your device for the audio to work, and the narration sounds robotic. The location was also somewhat inconvenient for people taking Metrorail/bus. If you go: take advantage of their family-friendly homecoming day in September, which offers free admission.

I HIGHLY recommend going here! The cottage is stunning and our tour guide was very well spoken and knowledgeable! You can almost feel the energy from all the history that happened inside this place. My favorite rooms were the study and upstairs room that he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in! Our tour group was only about 6 people which made it very easy ask questions. If you are a Lincoln fan I highly recommend not missing out on this tour while you are in DC! Not a place to bring little kids, there is times you’ll be sitting in rooms for 10-15 minutes at a time listening to the guide which most little kids are not very good at😂

President Lincoln's Cottage is one of the 'newer' (opening in 2008) and much lesser-known things to do in Washington DC, but I would definitely recommend it. Our tour guide was fantastic and provided a real insight into the lives of the Lincoln Family, both while staying at the Cottage and The White House. Being able to learn this information while standing and sitting inside the Cottage that Lincoln called home for three summers was a real privilege and added to the stories being told, given that you could see exactly what he would have seen within the house. The Cottage is on the outskirts of DC, but it was a quick and inexpensive Uber journey in both directions, both of which were able to collect/drop us right at the gates to the property. The Cottage is one of the few paid-for experiences in DC, but this is because they are not federally funded. The ticket fees also seem resonable for the experience and the conservation work that is needed to keep this piece of history alive.

Our Guided tour with Francisco was FANTASTIC. We learned so much and the site is beautifully maintained. I was very impressed with the technology and interactiveness of the tour- It really made things come alive! Thank you.

The property, of course, was great, but our tour guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. (I don't think she needs to try to learn everyone's name; it was a distraction.) Great visit.

This was a wonderful tour with an exceptional guide who thoroughly understood his subject. The cottage is mostly empty rooms, but the guide's stories helped us appreciate what occurred in these rooms. We truly appreciated the unvarnished truth and the encouragement to continue to explore the stories of those whose stories have not necessarily been told. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Lincoln. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. There is also a nice gift shop.

Had an amazing tour at Lincoln’s Cottage today, led by Haley! Would highly recommend his hidden gem in Washington, DC

I would say that this shrine is almost as beautiful as the Notre-Dame Cathedral Of Paris. A replica of all the shrines representing every country can be seen here. The architecture is absolutely stunning and of course the environ of the place is simply blissful. I thoroughly enjoyed meditating at Mother Mary's shrine. I would suggest that one should wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of ground to walk and preferably to visit on a weekday as the weekend gets crowded especially during the service. Please take time and sit at the cathedral.

This church is a comfortable peer with Europe's finest. The solemn grandeur, the American 20th century ness -- the art Deco flourishes and mosaics with objects from the industrial age, the splendor of Catholic design with English (mostly) inscriptions so Vulgate vernacular -- is a heady mix that had me mouthing"I believe". Almost (I'm Jewish.). Hadn't been in a decade and I can honestly say it's a restful restorative place to visit that puts to rest any reflexive 'European is superior's anxieties. America too has men of vision. Notable are ethnicity specific Mary which is a lovely touching very pre-Trump bit of American syncretism.

This is one of my most favorite places in the entire world. And I could spend hours in this building it is so peaceful and beautiful. Everywhere you turn there is inspiring and gorgeous art drawing out deep biblical and historical insights into traditional Apostolic christianity.

The Basilica is unlike any Catholic Shrine I've seen in the US. We had a limited time to explore but I could've easily spent a few hours here. The mosaics are beautiful works of art along with the stain glass windows. Blessed Mother, pray for us!

One of the most beautiful churches in the country. I have come here a number of times, yet each visit is a new experience. The many chapels honoring different Marian apparitions and names is unique to this church.

As others have stated, this shrine is spectacular! I attended mass on a Sunday on the Upper church, then went back on a weekday for a tour. Free, less than an hour, close to the Metro Brookland-CUA station. Welll worth a visit.

Highly recommend going to visit this spectacular basilica, especially during the federal shutdown and so many DC attractions being closed. I was surprised to see a particular shrine mosaic in the crypt chapel. The Lady of Peace statue’s marble altar has the Lady of Peace words chiseled in Croatian. And the Croatian red and white checkered coat of arms mosaic is included in the overall design.

Beautiful arboretum with lots to do! The botanical garden was very pretty, and there are plenty of structures and monuments all around. There are shaded areas, but the field with the old White House columns is pretty sunny when it's hot. We spent about an hour here but didn't even get close to exploring everything. On a more weather-forgiving day, I could definitely see myself spending the greater half of my day here! Definitely a good spot for great pictures.

Very impressed to the pavilions, esp the Chinese one. Lots of bonsais while most of them are over 50 years old. Reception is very nice and helpful. Recommend to visit during spring time not summer time as it’s too hot and most of the blooming season is over. Good place for picnic. Better to drive there though public transportation is also a good option. Admission free

I recently photographed a wedding at the National Arboretum in Washington, DC, and wow - what an incredible place to get married. I’ve worked at a lot of venues in the city, but this one immediately stood out. The mix of nature, open space, and those iconic Capitol Columns creates a setting that feels both grand and peaceful at the same time. Everywhere you turn, there’s a beautiful backdrop waiting to be photographed. What I loved most is how relaxed the whole day felt. There’s so much room to breathe, wander, and celebrate without feeling crowded or rushed. The staff was easy to work with, the light was gorgeous all day, and the couple truly got to be present - which is all you ever want on your wedding day. If you’re looking for a DC venue that feels like a hidden escape but is still right in the city, the National Arboretum is honestly a dream. I’d photograph weddings there again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely such a fun day! Be prepared to spend anywhere from three to six hours though. We didn’t account for that long of a visit but will definitely be returning. More breathe taking than the photos online. Pure serenity. Easy parking, tons of parking. A tip I would add is drive past the first parking lot you see. There’s more parking for specific attraction in the back. Otherwise you will be walking a few miles lol. There are lots of clean bathrooms, water fountains, vending machines. I also want to note its stroller accessible, and very mobile if handicapped with the paved trails. (*its free*)

I take Saturday morning walks in the Arboretum. It's one of my favorite places in the city. Go early enough and you can find pockets where you're totally alone with nature. But in most spots there are others around, walking, jogging, waking their dogs, pushing a stroller. There's so much to see actually. It's great to be alone, on a date, with the family, picnic with friends. I've even taken a book and a blanket and just relaxed on the grass by myself. This place is magical. Picture of the mist early one morning when I was deep in a forested area.

The place is great overall. There is a minor detail, the trees representing each state are scattered through out the entire park, there are not concentrated in the area marked on the map (you will find around 5 there). You are supposed to use the QR codes to find all of them, which encourage you to go around the park but they failed to set up correct expectations. The columns are gorgeous and are a very important but forgotten historical moment. The views are astonishing and visiting the park on each season gives you a complete different perspective. A great location for elopments or engagement. I witness 2 coupled getting engaged in this location (and pretty sure there was another couple about to get engaged when we were leaving).

The Arboretum never disappoints for photos. I was here two weeks ago for an engagement session at 8am—hardly anyone around, just quiet paths and perfect light.

We drove up here on a relatively hot day. We anticipated taking our daughter up here to pick fruit, see animals, and eat apply pie perhaps. But unfortunately none of it happened. You must drive your car to pick all the fruit, you have to come early to get your favorite pie, and the area lacked arrows and assistance to help people get around. Overall, the staff was very friendly, the area was spacious and clean. The market was easy to get around. Prices were OK. The eating area was cozy. I'm not sure if I will be back. Next time we'll probably come a better time.

I went to the pumpkin festival today, it's a fun thing to do in family it works for all ages because they have one thing for everyone. They have reasonable prices. I got a whole meal for two people just for $20. Try their lemonade it taste like heaven. Their soft serve Ice-cream is really good too. Everyone is really kind and they love kids. They have more than 15 activities that kids, teenagers, and adults can enjoy. I'm 17 years old and today I had so much fun that I even forgot that I had a phone that's why you can't see all the activities in the photos.

I’m so happy we booked tickets for the last day of the fall festival. Online booking was easy and they just scan your phone at the gate. Only thing is I wished they had separate lines for prepaid tickets to make it move faster. Plenty of parking. Perfect family outing! Loved the goat feeding options but by the time we got there the goats were nice and full but still adorable. Lots of cool photo opportunities. The hay ride was cool. Very efficient with the multiple tractors. The food was decent but the donuts babyyy! Apple cider donuts were soft and fluffy (fresh). The candy apples were sold out. Definitely a place you want to take your family next season.

Very fun place ! Went with a friend and it was very eventful. There was a corn maze, hay ride, food, and games. There was even a live band where you can sit and eat. They had 2 donkeys there too! Super cute! Definitely recommend going with friends, family, and/or significant other!!

What a disappointment! We wanted to pick apples, but that didn't happen. We bought tickets to the festival online as we thought you had to go pick apples. They only do that on the weekend. Then we went into the "festival". Not everything was open and running. The BBQ place wasn't open, the cider garden wasn't open, and some other kid things like face painting wasn't open either. If you're to charge money for admission, then you need to have EVERYTHING available at the time of opening. It was such a waste of time and money for us. I felt like I would have been bored even if I was a kid. We were maybe going to pick raspberries after everything, but with the poor signage, we had no idea where to go and just left. We'll definitely be skipping this place and finding somewhere better to go in the future.

Our favorite farm and the farm market. Baked pies- like strawberry rhubarb which is hard to find, apple cider donuts, kettle corn, meat, yummy milk, apple sauce, fresh vegetables and fruit.. also very cute kitchen items like tea towels, plates, cups, gadgets.. so much to do so much to get. A must visit place. Best strawberries and apples.

Love coming here with friends and family! The employees are so nice, the fruit and veggies are fresh and delicious. You get to see the farm animals, the fun activities and pumpkin picking! Also yummy apple cider drinks and donut, a lot to experience

So many interesting artifacts and historical treasures! Great hands on activities for school age children and adults. Docent did an excellent job of answering questions including recommendations for where to go to grab a quick bite to eat. Highly reccomend!

This was a cool little museum! The tour guides are volunteers, ours used to work nearby and loved sharing all the stories. They have artifacts from several eras, including some surprises!

I had some time after my meeting today to stop by the Crypto Museum, and it brought back a lot of memories. My old Navy RM, ET, and CT friends would recognize some of the equipment on display—it’s the same type we once worked on and with. Unfortunately, they don’t have some of the older gear we used back on the Belknap, but do go way back. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting. It’s free, fascinating, and the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable, with plenty of history to share about the equipment and the museum itself.

Nice little museum with some knowledgeable staff and a tiny gift shop featuring secret squirrel stuff. Not crowded, but seemed to be decently attended. If you are into old computers (or computer precusors) or want to try out an actual Enigma machine, this is a good place to visit. I was surprised how small it was, though (hence the 4 stars instead of 5).

Wonderful hidden treasure. The tours…wow! A wealth of knowledge from the historians! Every well done and worth the stop for sure !

Small museum with a specific focus. A gem for those interested. Saw the Standard off of USS Liberty and Commander Bucher's uniform, from USS Pueblo.

This place is fairly small, but they packed a TON of things to see here. If you love intelligence history, military history, or just history in general, this is definitely worth the visit. I've been here a few times, but I just recently visited for the first time after recent renovations. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have a lot of brochures and informational items you can take home for further reading. You can either stop by anytime to walk around and enjoy the exhibits, or you can schedule a guided tour. Plenty of things to see and learn about for all ages. Always enjoy my time whenever I get a chance to visit!

Quiet Waters Park truly lives up to its name. The atmosphere was calm and serene, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The South River overlook was absolutely breathtaking at sunset — watching the sun dip into the horizon while listening to gentle waves crashing against the shore felt magical. On the day of our visit, the park was filled with happy dogs, and amazingly not one of them barked — it added to the peaceful vibe. I also appreciated how thoughtfully the park is laid out, with restrooms conveniently located throughout. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, enjoy nature, and take in a stunning sunset, this park is a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Amazing place to relax and have fun! Quiet Water Park really lives up to its name — peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained. The water attractions are great for both kids and adults, and the staff are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of shaded areas to rest, and everything feels very safe and well organized. A perfect spot for a relaxing family day out. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our time here! We had a nice picnic and walked through a few of the trails to get to a gorgeous view overlooking the bay. Watch out for the beehives they have tucked away off one of the trails!

Very nice and well maintained park with nice trails and several dog parks . We have been here several times and walked all the trails. Many of the trails are well shaded and there were many rest areas along the trails. This park is very quiet as the name would suggest and serene. The visitors center is clean and many times have arts and photo exhibits. The holly pavilion trail takes you to the overlook with gorgeous view of the south River. Our dogs love the dog beach by the south River overlook where they can swim in the River.

This place is exactly what I needed after a hectic few months! So relaxing. The many pavillions look like an awesome spot to hold an event. Will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in town.

I love bringing my dog here and walking around. We’ve walked every trail. We always end at South River Overlook, watching the sun on the water. Trails are well maintained.

Wow, beautiful place with paved trails. Pavilions you can reserve and boat rentals. The trees were at peak.

The Maryland State House is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Annapolis. Rich in history and architectural beauty, it's not just the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use—it’s also one of the most significant landmarks in the entire country. Walking up to the building, you're immediately struck by the majestic wooden dome, which happens to be the largest of its kind constructed without nails. It's a beautiful symbol of 18th-century craftsmanship and remains a standout feature of the Annapolis skyline. Once inside, the sense of history is palpable. This is the very place where George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief in 1783—a powerful moment that reinforced civilian control over the military and helped define the future of American democracy. The Old Senate Chamber, beautifully restored to its Revolutionary War-era appearance, allows visitors to step back in time and feel the weight of the decisions that were made there. Another highlight is the rotunda, where a replica of the ship "Maryland Federalist" hangs suspended, adding a nautical touch to this deeply patriotic site. The newer sections of the State House are just as impressive, with marble floors, grand staircases, and portraits of important figures in Maryland’s history, including tributes to Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. The entire building feels like a blend of museum and government space—functional, yet reverent to the past. The atmosphere is peaceful and respectful, and the staff and security were friendly and welcoming. Self-guided tours are encouraged, with plenty of interpretive signs and displays that explain the significance of the rooms and artifacts. If you’re a history buff, a student, or simply curious about America’s roots, you’ll find this place both fascinating and inspiring. The Maryland State House isn't just a stop on a tour—it’s a direct connection to the founding of the country. It's free to enter, open to the public daily, and it sits just a short walk from the waterfront, shops, and other historic sites, making it a perfect addition to any day spent in downtown Annapolis. Whether you're visiting Annapolis for the first time or live nearby, this historic gem deserves a visit. It’s a quiet yet powerful reminder of where we’ve come from—and the values that continue to shape our country.

A must see historic building if you’re in town. Easy to walk into and guide yourself around, you can spend around 45 minutes here reading everything and absorbing the beautiful architecture. Standing in the room where George Washington resigned his commission is a fantastic experience, they’ve done a wonderful job preserving and maintaining here!

Really enjoyed having a look around this place. Although renovations are currently taking place, the interior is still mostly accessible. There are a lot of informative exhibits that talk about various aspects of the Capitol's history, and Maryland's history. There is an exhibit with an original copy of Washington's resignation speech. They also discuss how Maryland was involved in the drafting of the Constitution and the Revolutionary War.

Out of all the state houses, I did not expect Maryland to have such a beautiful and historic state house. Though I still think Mississippi has the best capitol building, Maryland is a close second. The design is beautiful with a marble staircase, and has brilliant paintings decorating the walls. Staff is wonderful, restrooms are downstairs. But where this building shines most is being the place where GEORGE WASHINGTON RESIGNED FROM COMMANDER AND CHIEF OF THE CONTINENTAL ARMY. Very cool!

We had the opportunity/honor to visit the Maryland State House in JUL_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about Maryland's history and legacy. We did a plant tour aroud since it was closed during the 4th July, and evend during the reforbishment process, for sure it's a remarkable building. Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

Definitely worth the visit. Such a historic beautiful building with a story to tell.

Maryland’s is one of the smaller state houses, but it is one of the most attractive. We were made to feel extremely welcome, and the self-guided tour of the main floor had plenty of information. It is a blend of contemporary and historical, from the modern legislative chambers to the old Senate chamber, carefully restored to commemorate Washington resigning his commission there in 1783. Having visited quite a few capitols, I found Annapolis intimate and very pleasant, and certainly came away knowing more about Maryland and the state’s history.

Typical as museum stores go - you'd find your usual gift items and souvenirs sold at generally reasonable prices. The museum itself is closed to the public for a renovation (not sure how much longer). Staff on duty was cheerful and helpful all the way. Finding parking was challenging.

It's a very cozy place with a lot of little trinkets to satisfy your nostalgic shopping bone. The "museum" name can be somewhat misleading as only a small portion of the building is dedicated to the history of Annapolis. Nonetheless, it is a fun spot to stop by when you're downtown.

Very nice place to come and walk. Good food, views, and history.

Fancy souvenirs. They have exhibitions and restroom upstairs.

Great gift shop on the first floor filled with quality gifts for Men, Women, Children and Pets. Home decor, lamps, artwork, clocks, etc., also for sale. Great place to pick up a Hostess gifts, cards. Easy, short term parking directly in front of the building. There is a small but interesting Museum on the second and third floor.

The attic was closed to the Public, Not as much to see as I expected. However they are open late best bathroom view ever, view of the Annapolis dwntwn dock. Best food in town just a block away. Only 30min parking on the Main Thoroughfare Their.

Not a museum, a lambasting of our forefathers through various tales of slaves and not much more. Don't go thinking you'll actually learn anything about Annapolis. Oh, but you can buy some cheese forks there. History!

Visiting the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis was a truly inspiring experience. The campus is absolutely stunning—historic buildings, immaculate grounds, and views of the Severn River that are hard to beat. Walking through the Yard, you get a real sense of tradition, honor, and service. The guided tour was excellent and gave great insight into the life of a midshipman, the Academy’s history, and its role in shaping Naval leaders. Highlights for me included the breathtaking chapel, the crypt of John Paul Jones, and the Naval Academy Museum with its incredible ship models and artifacts. I left with a deep appreciation for the commitment these young men and women make to serve our country. Annapolis itself is a great place to explore before or after your visit. Whether you're into history, military service, or just want to be inspired, the U.S. Naval Academy is absolutely worth your time.

If you’re visiting downtown Annapolis and can spare some time, be sure to walk into the United States Naval Academy! (You can walk on with just a driver’s license. To drive on requires military or DoD ID.) It is beautiful to just walk most of it outside, but if you can - be sure to visit Bancroft Hall, the Chapel interior & John Paul Jones crypt, and the fantastic museum as well (just a stone’s throw from the chapel.) We frequent the USNA and never tire of it! Captains Row is just idyllic. Amazing!

We visited Memorial weekend. The campus is beautiful and there is a first-rate gift shop. Highly recommend.

Took a tour as part of the youth leadership program, very inspiring and beautiful place. Used the sim and had a good time. Be sure to catch evening noon formation. Tour many of the top of the line sports facilities. Looking to get sponsored by them for high school/ college. Need a valid id for entry. Veteran’s affairs id will not work for entry. Go navy, beat army!

We had the opportunity/honor to visit the United States Naval Academy in JUL_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about USA history and legacy. We did a plant tour and for sure it's a remarkable site. Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

The Naval Academy is definitely a place to visit if you’re in the Annapolis area. There are walking tours and bus tours but we decided to follow the map and do it on our on. The campus is beautiful and well kept. All the buildings are magnificent. The Academy Chapel is a must see while you’re there, simply gorgeous and then you can go underneath part of the chapel to visit John Paul Jones crypt which is breathtaking, honoring one of our true Naval heroes! The day we went was perfect, very little clouds and just a nice cool afternoon, not too warm. We visited June the 11th 2024. We even got to see the Navy football team practicing. You’ve got to go and walk the places where lots of Naval heroes got their beginning.

We had a great tour by Amy well worth the time

The outdoor concert venue is terrible. Parking was $50 if you didn’t have a VIP card. Eight drink lines were 25 people deep, and the venue is poor at best. (Hot - limited air flow with concrete below your feet and overhead,, and Porta Potty restrooms.)

Never been to a casino before and I played blackjack. We had a very nice (and competent!) dealer and my friends and I have a great time. I was also happy to have found a slot machine with a lever to pull which was incredibly satisfying. I’ve heard the quality of dealers can vary, but I got *lucky* with mine, I suppose!

I didn't come for the Casino so I couldn't tell you about it, other than it looked nice inside from the outside. Instead My fiance and I went for a Glorilla Concert @ Level One. The concert experience is a whole other story, but as far as the venue goes. get your mind ready. When/if you see an advertisement for anything at "Level One" in Baltimore; just know that it's not a CLUB on the 1st floor. It's quite literally the parking lot. It wasn't dirty, and it's not like there was glass or anything on the ground, just....it was a parking lot; Didn't expect THAT.

Went to see GloRilla at Level One it was a good experience. Had VIP package so was able to drink until 9pm. Top shelf and the show was great

Went to casino specifically for Eric Benet concert in the Harbor Room. The Harbor Room was small and intimate with individual folding chairs which was convenient to reposition oneself for more room around them.

Single worst concert experience ever. Garage sound, 1 hour will call line, and unlit portapotties. Should not be allowed to have shows where the parking garage horns are playing in background.

I had heard from many people that this casino was not very good, but I didn’t believe it until today. Today, I finally got to experience the truth myself. I went to the cashier’s cage to play and cash out. There was a long line, and only one cashier was working. I stood in line patiently. After some time, a few more cashiers came, and the line started moving forward. When one cashier’s window became free, I went closer to her. But she treated me very disrespectfully. Without even asking anything properly, she spoke to me in a very rude and demeaning way. I was already standing in my line and moved forward only when the people ahead of me were done. She could have simply asked me to wait for a moment or told me politely that an ID was required. I understand that for transactions above a certain amount, ID verification is necessary, but the way she spoke to me was unacceptable. She firmly said, “I’m not giving you any money until you show me your ID,” in a very disrespectful tone.

I fell in love with Oriole Park before even entering the stadium. Camden Yards has a friendly baseball vibe and wonderful atmosphere. The fans were respectful and pleasant. The stadium was clean and aesthetically appealing. The staff at this stadium were amazing. They went above and beyond to help fans with finding seats, concessions, and were patient with any questions or concerns. Everyone seemed happy to work at the stadium. I'm a Red Sox fan and I still felt welcomed in a visiting stadium. I enjoyed walking around the stadium both inside and out. They have some fun and vibrant sports bars outside the stadium as well. This is a must for any baseball fan. I will mention though that I was very disappointed that the stadium doesn't offer tours of the ballpark.

Oreo Park at Camden Yards is an absolutely beautiful ballpark! The seating is comfortable, the ushers are friendly and helpful, and the field itself is stunning. The views from just about anywhere in the park are fantastic, making it a great place to enjoy a game. That being said, the food and drink prices are way too high. It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost unaffordable for the average family, which really takes away from the experience. I’d gladly give this place five stars if the pricing was more reasonable.

Never disappointing coming to Oriole Park! I've attended games here since I was a kid. It's one of the best ballparks in baseball. Very family friendly and all-around friendly. It was fun attending on Jim Palmer jersey night this year. The concessions prices are still comparably cheap, too. I will live and die as an Orioles fan. You can't clip these wings, Yanks. Let's go, O's!

One of the best ball parks around. Gates open about 60 minutes prior to first pitch on Weekdays (a little earlier on weekends). Get there early to experience the whole park. It's worth it. Nice play area on the first base side for the kids. Concessions are pricey but they do let you bring some of your own items in so long as it is in a clear small bag (no glass or aluminum drink containers). I brought in two plastic 20 oz cokes, two sandwiches and some small bags of chips. Be sure to check their policies page carefully in case their are changes. I bought a beer at the game... was 15.99.

Really great stadium, not a bad seat in the house. Food is always great, Boogs is my personal favorite (they have gluten free buns if that’s something you’re looking for!) They also do free giveaways often so keep an eye out on the promotional schedule!

I’m biased, but this is the prettiest ballpark in the League. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. The food options are plentiful. The ushers for games are knowledgeable and friendly and there is plenty of fan assistance as well. They continue to refresh and upgrade, keeping her looking beautiful.

Great night out for a baseball game! We had an injured person in our party and everyone was kind and accommodating! We were able to drop them off at the front and park nearby. Highly suggest purchasing the parking, it was well worth it. We got there early (2 hours ahead). We grabbed some great food at the crab cake stand. Crab sandwich and crab fries were very good. The crab shells were not good. It was a shell pasta stuffed with pasta, bartered and topped with hot honey. We didn’t care for it but everything was fine. It was a warm evening and I’m glad I brought a hand help fan. We had good seats section 29. It was a fun game and the fireworks show at the end was pretty good too. We got drinks and more snacks durning the game. I do wish they would add a few fans under the coverings to help move some air. That would be a great addition. Overall it was a great night out and we loved the venue. It was organized and easy to navigate with that large crowd.

What an amazing national treasure and a great place to spend an afternoon with friends or family. Walking through the Fort transports you back in time and gives you an overwhelming feeling of national pride. Not to mention, the film documentary at the end of your visit has a truly special surprise at the ending you don’t expect! Do yourself a favor if you’re in Baltimore and go visit Fort McHenry.

Short but informative video to start the tour. Rangers are very knowledgeable about the fort's history. I arrived in time for the flag changing ceremony, which they allow guests to help participate in. Lovely views of the harbor from the fort or walking trails.

SO MUCH FUN! I went for a school field trip, and it did not disappoint. We walked the whole thing, and I loved the preservation of old rooms. My favorite was the one execution cell. The place has high educational value, but it's also a good exercise and it's very interesting. I would love to go again with my family. It was so pretty.

Our family of four had a great visit. We purchased tickets for the shrine, kids were free. Visitor Center has interactive exhibits and 20 min video thats worth staying until the end. Decent gift shop, no food or cafe to speak of. The grounds, views, restorations, rangers, history, and setting are all amazing.

Had an awesome experience learning about Fort McHenry and the buildup to the battle that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. Started off in the visitor center and watch the film and look at all the information panels. Going outside gives you amazing views of the bay, and exploring the fort is an awesome experience. Each building has information about the fort and it's history. I would absolutely come back and would recommend others do the same.

The NPS Rangers' lack of enthusiasm at this site prevents us from giving it a 5th star. You have to pay extra to walk out to the fort and take a self-guided tour. During our visit, the temperature was extremely high at around 98°F, which may explain the absence of reenactments or ranger-led tours; however, the rangers were still present at the site. The fort's rangers were just standing in the shade, maybe due to the heat. They could have been giving some kind of presentation or talk. We did not get a discount due to the heat, but the experience of being at the historical location was well worth the 4 stars.

A bit out of the way if you don't have a car while visiting the city but very nicely done video and visitor center. The fort is cool to explore and you can participate in the color guard if you time it right. Overall well done.

We went for the first time and we choose labor day to go. It actually wasn't that bad. We had no wait to get in. But some of the exhibits had a crowd before you could get to see it decently. We did not do any of the experiences or were we able to see the dolphins though we did try. They were being feed when we were there and we didn't wait long enough to see them. If you have anyone in your group that has mobility issues and needs to use elevators they do have them and they can fit wheelchairs plus a person or two. They are not near where the other entrance to the floor is for those that do not have mobility problems. I say this for those who have parties of mixed capabilities. There is one area that those who cannot do stairs can access and that is the birds area. There is a way for wheelchairs to go through the area but there is 2 platforms that you can't get to. The aquarium was nice and the employees we came across were all friendly. The are some rather large attractions and lots of smaller ones just like any other aquarium or zoo. They have an area with horseshoe crabs and jellyfish that you can touch the animals. We were hoping that there was an area you can feed manta rays of something like it but they did not. We got to see how they clean some of the tanks and some of the divers that we found out that all the divers are volunteers. The guy made a joke saying that they work for free bottled air. Some of the tanks look difficult to clean so I don't envy them. They some frogs and birds and some other animals. I was not expecting to see any other animals but I thought it was cool. There are some really good views of the harbor as well. They have a spot that you can sit and rest while looking at the harbor. All in all we will probably go back and definitely recommend.

It was nice... I have been to aquariums with more variety... this one seems almost local species. A few empty habitats... the Jellyfish invasion is not impressive if you have seen them in other aquariums... some tanks looked like they were sick... dolphin shows are no more but you can sit and watch them... they mostly hung out in the back though, until the helpers came out to feed. That was cool. I agree with the stopping the shows and loved seeing them play. The rainforest was okay too... a couple of birds here an there... mostly just plant life with a cool water fall. Escalator was broke on one floor of the 4 floor exhibit. I think they have an elevator, they were not to informative about it though. We never looked into the Australian terrarium... chose to leave and do other things.

Had a mommy son day and it was just what was needed! Everything was clean and in order, not too many people on a school day so it was nice. Not too many lines, the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. My 8 year old stated it was his best day in forever ❤️ Thanks! I bought the membership and its already paid off but I can see him having us there a LOT!

The design of this aquarium is very unique. I have visited many aquariums across the country. Like the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, the Long Beach Aquarium in CA, and the Mall of America’s Aquarium. We went on a Sunday so it was super busy but getting our tickets online was a smart move. The layout of this aquarium is pretty unique and it can be actually quite confusing. Thankfully we had a friend who has been to this one multiple times and knew his way around. I do like the open design to the main attraction and the escalators to next level. That was very unusual to see. There was one escalator that was out of service but they had the service door for the stair propped open and someone standing there to help guide. Also another interesting thing was the rotating doors. I have never seen them being used inside of a facility. It was kind of annoying as only one person could go through it at a time. The best thing was all the aquatic creatures that they have. Those were a joy to watch and we got to talk to a knowledgeable guide that was showing off a turtle skull. She was fun to talk with and knew her stuff about the animals in the aquarium. I would go back for sure.

The aquarium closes fairly early, so I didnt have quite enough time to get through the entire place. It was beautiful. It was well laid out. The dolphin training was a surprise to see, but it was so cool to see.

Went on my daughter's field trip with her and had a blast. I do wish they had given us maps because we ended up missing parts. Still very fun. Lots of amazing animals and the staff is wonderful.

I love this aquarium, it takes about 2-3 hours to see everything without rushing. They have touch tanks that are fun for everyone and a lot of awesome exhibits. There are places to get food and drinks which is nice as well. Parking is decent and right in front of the aquarium. I normally go on the weekends and the crowds are not too bad.

Who would have thunk it, An Austin TX style music club right there on Main Street in Rock Hall? This place is intimate and top notch with a variety of music. We caught The Thee Divas, three ladies who know how to make jazz come alive and then enjoyed Three ladies from Patagonia the next. The talent is top notch and the setting perfect. The only knock is the crowd tends towards the retired. A little mix in age would bring some much needed lift to the place.

Great, unique, intimate venue for a variety of music in a small, Chesapeake Bay waterfront town. This was Mardi Gras night with Zydeco music.

Wonderful venue with delightful and varied musical performances

I came here with a personal friend and was immediately astonished at the amount of culture and sheer possibilities that this wonderful place has to offer. I sadly am not able to see every show but I would if I could! Come here if you like Jazz, Classical, Blue grass, a great time, drinks, a little snack, or just want to try something new and support not only local musicians but great music. I strongly recommend trying to come out and enjoy a concert or two and then telling your friends to come as well. Luckily they have a flexible schedule of concerts throughout the week usually each week featuring performers young and old. I plan to come here as often as possible and you should too!

We LOVE The Mainstay! Music is superb, amazing variety over each month, something sure to please every music lover. Relaxed, inexpensive, & Becky's Bar gives a great pour! The new addition of Joe Holt's Mainstay Mondays is fabulous -- we have been thrilled each Monday evening at 7 with the amazing "New York caliber" of each of the many guest performers, and, of course, Joe himself, who is a local treasure. And a $10.00 cover charge? Astounding! Thanks for being here, so close to home, Mainstay 💜

Barbara Peters was fantastic, she sang all her own songs and Joe Holt"s piano playing as usual is inovative and complimentary. The venue is so friendly and comfortable with excellent acoustics. A true home of musical magic.

Amazing variety of great live music featuring world glass musicians...concentrating on jazz, blues, and folk/world music.....a performer recently described her experience at the Mainstay as being at a small club in New York City! Very informal intimate atmospere

Seems like this used to be a thriving center. However now it’s half empty. The occupied booths are thriving though. It just seems like now the majority of places open now are restaurants of various kinds. Sad that there are less merchants out now. I guess this could be the result of the pandemic’s impact.

Not a whole lot to say about this place other than went to a cruise in here, there were some pretty good restaurants inside and other than that probably won't be back.

Must visit Wonderful brewery.. Something for everyone. Brews..cocktails...wine...crushes Great staff food and entertainment. Live bands ... Staff is very very nice. They also have open Mic night..corn hole tournaments .... Special occasion events . One of my top ten places

A great place to shop, hang out, get some good eats or hang out with friends and family. They offer an array of different things from a stall selling crystals large and small, herb apothecary, an Amish bakery with fresh baked goods, Asian food, 2 Spanish foods stalls, pizza brick oven spot with fresh made to order pizzas, burgers, cheesesteaks, pit beef and even a bar restaurant as a big feature as they have the largest space. Although I can't vouch for all of the food vendors yet, I can say that this is the place to be whether shopping or eating. I noticed more flavorful food being served here than many of the surrounding restaurants and tiring same ol fast food chain restaurants. When I frequented when in town they carried various events. I've seen bingo night that was packed, a shopping venue with multiple vendors during the winter holiday season to buy cheap items for everyone. One weekend they even held a Hackysack competition, which was cool entertainment while you ate or you could join the competition too. I definitely would take a roadtrip from Baltimore, Maryland to visit this spot and its multiple vendors. Good memories. I can vouch for the spot Grillrilla, Empanadas spot that they have good food for sure. The Asian food stall was completely disappointing I passed after my first time. But check out the entire places and its offerings you'll be pleasantly surprised.

This market had several restaurants and shopping stalls with a variety of products. The meat market had some really nice beef, sausage and pork selections at a reasonable price. There was also a Shady Maple outlet with a nice selection of bakery, spices and canned fruit products.

Hanover bike is a cute little market with quaint simple people that love fresh produce and baked goods and handmade crafts. You can get delicate coffees and teas as well as Wildflower honey.. The local wine is worth getting intoxicated on. I have yet to try the blueberry variety. Please come to the Hanover to fully integrate your senses and essential experience.

Lots to look at, and all kind of different markets to shop at. Also a big variety of different food shops. There is something for everyone in here!

The campground is well maintained. The sites for RVs were a little close together. If you like tent only sites there a few closer to the water that had more privacy. Restroom facilities were updated and clean. Small store on site for ice/wood/necessities. The noise from the nearby road and train tracks can be a little distracting if you plan to sleep in.

Beautiful and spacious campsites with easy access to the restroom facilities, the lake, store, playground, and many other amenities. Most of the roadways are paved offering easy access. The hosts, Mike and Charity were absolutely awesome! The made us feel like old friends visiting. We returned home today and preparing to book our next visit.

I recently visited Codorus State Park, and I had a fantastic experience! Here are some highlights: - Clean Bathrooms: One of the first things I noticed was how well-maintained the bathrooms are. It's always a relief to find clean facilities when enjoying the great outdoors. - Private Camping Sites: The camping sites offer a good amount of privacy, allowing for a more relaxing experience. It felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. - Proximity to Water: The park is conveniently located close to water, making it perfect for fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the scenic views. The sound of water nearby added to the overall tranquility of the park. Overall, Codorus State Park is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to enjoy nature, whether for a day visit or an extended camping trip. I highly recommend it!

I've been coming to the pool and marina area since I was a kid. It brings me nostalgia. I love how the pool and locker rooms are the exact same as they were 30+ years ago. Surprised how there's not many Hanover locals out here. This is Hanover's best attraction.

I visit the lake on a regular basis. It's one of my favorite places to relax. It's disheartening to see the water levels fall during this time of year, especially since the lake in motion is always a beautiful sight.

Only was there for a brief visit but enjoyed my time. Well maintained trails, nice lake, didnt bring my fishing stuff but looks promising. There was a stand of american chestnuts along the trail i hiked that was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful campsites in a woods with 100 foot high trees. Dog friendly campsites available. Clean showers and restrooms.

They have the best beer in the county. Blood orange Carpe Diem is a staple in our family. The sheer variety of beers on tap ensures that everyone we bring here can enjoy something, even kombucha. So many seating options to choose from, and an outdoor fire pit when it's chilly. Cheers!

One of our favorite places! They have a wide variety of beers and some seltzers. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and parking isn't too bad. They have food trucks and welcome dogs. Definitely recommend it if in the area.

I ordered the “El Hefe” hefeweißen and and “Fyre Fest” festbier. Atmosphere was amazing. Unfortunately, they did not taste like Deutschland biers. Es ist schlecht. The El Hefe was too hoppy, but the amount of malt and carbonation was right. Alcohol content was around normal for the Hefe. The Fyre Fest has way too much malt and the amount of carbonation was too much. Alcohol content was around normal for the festbier. Recommendation: Research what actual Hefeweißen and and Festbiers taste like and craft new ones because these are absolutely not what German beers taste like. Very disappointed.

Had a wonderful summer evening after attending a wedding. Listened to live music and tried 4 different beer. All delicious. My favorite? Cryptic captions! Cute town and nice people. Will come again if ever in the area.

The service was great as the staff were extremely friendly. The beer was good. I started with a reader of the Belgian stout which I thought was delicious, but I'm a Belgian and stout fan so best of both worlds. But rather than an almost 10% beer at 11 am I went with the Belgian blonde which just lacked a bit of Belgian complexity in flavor that I love. Maybe they fermented at too low of temp or didn't use the right yeast but something was a little off. Then I had their red ale which was just your average red ale. So, service is great!! Beer was good based on my limited experience. Would like to try some of their other beers and likely will be given their weekly Sunday yoga!

So e very good traditional beers. Good service. Thursday pizza truck has excellent pizza. Quiet during weekdays but very noisy on weekends. Lots odmf outside seating and covered seating if rainy.

We were driving through in our RV and stopped because this place was a Harvest Host. We loved, loved, loved it. The beer was great and the food truck on the property was yummy. We sat outside and the vibe was very chill and welcoming. Staff was super nice and it was nice to visit a couple minutes.

The trail was very easy to navigate, with a couple of easy water crossings a long the way. The trail is definitely a moderate and has some decent hills here and there but nothing that can't be managed... Everyone out there was very friendly.

Good for a day hiking or camping at night. Many trails with light to moderate difficulty. Also have options of fishing, includes some architectural pieces like an old mansion and a big furnace in midst of state park.

Susquehanna State Park, located near Havre de Grace, Maryland, is a scenic destination offering a blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and historical charm. Nestled along the Susquehanna River, the park features over 15 miles of well-marked trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The terrain ranges from gentle riverside paths to steeper, wooded hills, making it suitable for all skill levels. One of the highlights is the River Loop Trail, which offers stunning views of the water and opportunities to spot bald eagles, herons, and other wildlife. The trails are peaceful, shaded by dense forest, and perfect for a quiet walk or invigorating run. Bikers will enjoy the challenging Rock Run and Land of Promise trails, while anglers can fish in the river for bass and catfish. The park is also rich in history, home to the preserved Rock Run Historic Area, featuring a working gristmill, the Carter-Archer Mansion, and the old Jersey Toll House. Picnic areas and campsites make it a great place for families or weekend getaways. Whether you’re into hiking, biking, fishing, or just relaxing by the river, Susquehanna State Park offers a refreshing escape into nature with beautiful views and a touch of Maryland’s colonial history.

There are 2 loops for camping. Needs some TLC. Roads need some attention and were narrow, branches need to be cut back on the narrow roads. The campsites were generous, but we had a 4” slope, so getting into our camper was a climb. Once you are on the trails they are well marked but finding the beginning of the trail was challenging. Bath/shower house were in the middle of the loop and modern and clean. It is situated well with some historical buildings within the park. We enjoyed ourselves, it just needed some TLC.

Very clean, nice site. spaces/not on top of each other. Clean and maintained bathhouse with laundry and a space for dishes available. Water pumps close by and portapoties available around the campsite.

Great trails for hiking. Clean trails, you can tell people pack in and pack out. Plenty of cool little gems to find as you hike.

Friendly and helpful staff. Humid but the shading from the beautiful trees on the trail we hiked was helpful. Campsites are spacious, with firepits, grills, and tables. Bathroom has electricity, soap, toilet paper, and warm water. There are showers and a laundry. Enjoyable time!

Visiting quaint, historic Columbia must include the Burning Bridge Antique Market. Why? It is a history lesson in products manufactured in the United States and used over the past 100 years. If you are interested in preloved quality-made products such as cut glass, crystal, real wood, silver, etc., this is the place for you.

First time in , wow! A curators dream.. Purchases were close to $200.00 @ I could of definitely kept going. Loads of affordable beautiful art, and Antiques.

Amazing! It's like walking through a living history museum. Lots of vintage finds and collectibles Pyrex bowls (even the rare pink ones). Every floor has something unique to find. The jewelry finds are stellar. Lots of old holiday decor and even some original blow molds. You could spend hours looking at it all. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. Right across the street from Hinkle's Restaurant (with soda fountain). Coupons for ice cream at the checkout register.

What a great place. I purchased a street sign with the perfect amount of patina. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish I had another project so I could have bought more stuff from them. Highly recommend

Impressive place. Been to Columbia many times but never checked out this place. Its now my favorite antique store. It more of a museum than a store in my opinion. Probably spent 3+ hours walking around the three floors. Sure some prices were $$$ but many things were cheaper than I figured they would be. I will definitely recommend this place and I will come back. Restrooms' and plenty of parking.

~ currently they had a lot of stuff 15%-20% off ~ This place is so cool with the different venders being able to sell collectibles/antiques without being there. A very wide selection like: fiesta dishes, uranium glass dishes, comics, jewelry, paintings, fishing supplies, Games, clothing, furniture/mirrors, plus more. it’s floors sound very squeaky but are completely safe. there’s three floors ( 1st, 2nd, & basement) and no available elevator to the public it seems * I include a photo *. It’s a very nice place to skim through and spend some time at. Personally, I’d deem this place as not handicap accessible.

HUGE selection - all different types of antiques!

First time experience was not impressed. I booked to eat at the catacombs with toast well here they book a day a head thinking it was same day. (100% my fault, but I can see this mistake being easily made by many) we drove about and hour with some friends to find out it was the next day. Huge Bummer , but as said my fault, they said they would still see if they could get us a tour to which they never got back to us about then we were sat outside. Outside was really pretty, but tables and chairs were very sticky. So we sat at the bar. Menu options looked really great so we thought maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad turn out after all since I felt bad to begin with, appetizers were pretty good, however mains were disappointing. I ordered a balsamic, Brie, and fig flat bread. Which sounded amazing but looked like it was thrown together. The raw onions weren’t even separated more managed to make it on the plate rather than the pizza itself. Cheese was only on some slices and the bread was just bread it wasn’t in put in the oven? My husband got the Ultimate Grilled Cheese which is supposed to have Imperial crab, which is a lump creamy consistency style crab, nope it was a heavily breaded crab cake that was dry. Maybe it’s not like this all the time, but definitely not worth driving an hour for us. Also was told to call at 10am the next day to get our downpayment back, then was told I’d get a call two days later from someone. I haven’t heard anything back yet. I will say the key lime crush was pretty good though! And I like my crushes.

Visited The Catacombs for my daughter's early 23rd Birthday dinner. She's a Halloween baby and I thought The Catacombs would be quite fitting. Our visit did not disappoint. What a wonderful experience. After our 138 mile, 2½ hour, drive each way (that's commitment to keeping things fresh), our host and tour guide Richard was courteous, entertaining, and quite the Bube historian. Thank you, Richard, for the Birthday Song. Jack was our very courteous server. We had a wonderful time. The food was good, and there was was something due everyone. The dessert menu was a little lacking with only 2 options, but everything pulled together nicely. Richard allowed us to explore the upstairs and the museum quality memorabilia is interesting and educational. Thank you. It's not "just around the corner" for us, but if we're back in the area we'll stop back in for sure.

Amazing experience, unique, highly recommend! Spooky hotel with themed rooms! Communal shower/restroom, but also private half bathroom for guests, we had 0 issues with this, even would say it added to the experience of staying here. There is a nice common sitting room, microwave and coffee maker, that has an outside door leading to a seated balcony. The Catacombs dinner was exceptional, food, cocktails and intimate setting. After dinner brewery upstairs, we took home a growler, shirt and hat <3 . There is soo much to talk about, just go and experience it!! Special thanks to Kelly and our co-hotel inhabitant for the chat. Def coming back.

Really cool brewery! The history is very interesting dating back to the 1860's! The catacombs where they brewed the beer originally are awesome to see! If you would like to experience dinner in the catacombs its a 4-6 week lead time in reservations but worth doing. If you are dropping in you can still get a tour and enjoy food and spirits on the main floor. Friendly staff! Great food and really cool stories about the place!

This was a fun and unique experience. Be sure to make your reservations well ahead of time, especially if dining on the weekend. Prior to going down going down to the catacomb, you get a brief tour around the facility with some fun history facts on the building. The overall experience was delightful and fun . Well worth the dining price because it’s such a unique experience. Perfect for a date or fun family dinner. My pork Tomahawk was delicious, the mashed potatoes were room temperature. But not worth complaining about. I still ate them. The half a chicken was probably the juiciest chicken I’ve ever tried. If you’re considering coming here, I can’t recommend it enough.

This place books up very fast for reservations on Fridays and the weekends. Every Saturday they do a show, must purchase ticket ahead of time, way in advance if you want an opportunity to see it. We unfortunately weren't able to book a show, but we're lucky enough to get an early dinner reservations on a Friday (all that they had left) (good sign- means this place stays busy and the people love it) the atmosphere is the best, can be very romantic for couples and for family and friends a nice quiet dinner in a cool underground location. They give you a tour before you are seated for dinner, which we really enjoyed. Food was good and same as drinks.

Simply amazing! The food and drinks were sensational! Dave our bar tender is the best! Jude our waitress did an outstanding job. The steak and salmon were to die for. Loved everything P.S. GET THE PIZZA SHOT from Dave the bar tender

Wonderful live show in Pennsylvania! Had this trip planned for over a year. It did not disappoint.! The show Noah was awesome the actors and actresses were amazing .The live animals were awesome as well. The effects blew me away. I highly recommend everyone who can go see these live shows.

Beautiful theater, comfortable seats, ushers very friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough about the actors, actresses and the stage hands that brought the events of Noah to life in front of our eyes! What a wonderful performance! This was my husband and my first experience and it will resonate with us and those that accompanied us for years to come!

**Highly Recommended for wholesome family entertainment!** - This is comparable to a Broadway show in NYC except these stories are from the BIBLE and great for the entire family. - (All my family members agree) - In addition to the main stage, they have stages on both sides of the auditorium, which gives it a "surround" or immersive effect. - The plays include musical numbers for their many scenes. - They include some one-liners for laughs.. ..which brings some light-heartedness. - They have LIVE ANIMALS in the plays also; horses, pigs, camels, sheep, goats, dogs, birds, (the kids love it..!) - It is located in Lancaster, Pa. (a great family-wholesome place to go after for lunch, sight-seeing and staying the night) - Each of these stories are heart-felt; and include a good main theme to take/ bring home with you and put into practice.. - Our Family has seen the plays: Jesus; Noah, Moses; David; Queen Esther, The Miracle of Christmas. - I would recommend a weekday, since the weekends usually get booked-up quickly. - I also suggest purchasing them online, or calling the reservation center, to make sure you get tickets. (get sold-out quickly) - They also have a nice gift shop and refreshment stands in the main lobby - (we had coffee, soft drinks, and Glazed Almonds (delicious if you are not allergic) - Cannot say enough good about this place and will continue to come back (even the kids are grown-up now) lol...

Sight and Sound is a wonderful experience for families to go to together, friends, or for your children to attend. This theater truly brings to life biblical stories with great detail and very Supreme acting. They are very punctual at starting and I recommend that anyone that can go will see it. The costay seem high, but it's very worth it and you can understand the cost to operate such a theater. I highly recommend it to anyone.

We saw Noah on a Wednesday afternoon. The place was sold out even on a weekday. The staff is helpful and friendly from the parking attendants who parked us close due to seniors with walking limitations to the will call and concessions and ushers. The show is spectacular with the actors, animatronics and live animals. It is also very emotional with a lovely surprise ending. You won’t be disappointed with this experience.

My family and I had heard great things about Sight and Sound, but we had never been to a show until recently. It did not disappoint! Noah was outstanding, and my 4 yr. old grandson loved it! What a great experience! Thank you!

I’ve been a few times. The theatrical performances I’ve seen have been Jonah, Daniel, Noah, and The Christmas Story. This is one trip that’s worth repeating. Buy tickets MONTHS ahead. If you want to go on a specific date then order as soon as the box office opens, shows get booked super fast. I travel with a bus group. Now that part has its ups ands down.

I highly recommend this museum --it's amazing! There are trains from many eras, and the whole way it's set up puts you back into a world of what feels like an old fashioned train station. It's very interactive and educational, and it also has a children's play area. You're able to go into some of the trains a bit, others you can walk into a platform to peer inside. There's a nice gift shop that can fit almost every price range as well, and the museum is situated in the stunning Amish Country right across the street from the Strasburg Railroad.

Me amd my Mom vitied this museum years ago. Few museums are as wonderful, as detailed, as large, and as fun to visit. Good for all ages. A must if you are in the area. Then cross the road and visit the station! And it wasn't crowded. This place needs to become world famous!

Super giant museum of giant steam engines, carts, miniatures, and many fun sights. You get to go inside many of the passenger carts, conductor and engineer compartments, and marvel at the spectacular size of these classic marvels of engineering and manufacturing. Multi floor with the top housing the large running miniatures which operates like real working trains. Great place to spend a could of hours with the family!

Excellent value for the experience. We took a little over two hours to explore the museum after riding the Strasburg Railroad. The kids loved the interactive train exhibit and Lego center. There were engaging activities throughout (hand brakes vs air brakes, shoveling coal, etc.) that kept them engaged while the adults could read exhibit signage. We all enjoyed the trains that we could either enter or view through plexiglass. We were transported to another time and experienced a feeling of nostalgia for a time in which we never lived. Highly recommend!

This museum is huge and so fun for kids and train lovers alike, don’t miss it! We did a train ride then walked across the street to the museum, which worked well. The level of investment in this museum is impressive- it is clean and very well laid out with loads of interactive options for the kids. My family of 5 - kids ages 10, 7 and 4 - could have been just in the museum for 3+ hours easily. They have SO MANY locomotives! Plus a replica “main street”, lego cities (with legos to play with!), books, a tiny city/town/farm area with a challenge of finding several scenes…then ALL the trains! So many! They are all clean and shiny and a whistle. It’s great!

This is a fantastic museum, one of the best I've ever been to! It was only $10 per adult and we stayed for three hours so the value is great. They have an incredible collection of trains and some really fun model train displays. There is so much to look at, and they have lots of cool interactive features. We went on a weekday and got there when it opened so it wasn't too crowded. We were easily able to buy tickets when we walked in after waiting in a short line. It's a really big museum so it's very open with lots of space to walk around. We were staying at the Red Caboose Motel which is only three minutes away so if you're staying there then this museum is a must-see!

Very nice and interesting museum with many steam engines and cars. Funny actions for kids and some good information for adults. I liked it, but I am a rail enthusiast. Highly recommended for rail fans, recommended for "normal" people. 😁

Gorgeous platform setup! Gift shop was actually very affordable. I usually get sticker shock but was pleasantly surprised here! We had tickets for the first class parlor and it was very comfortable. Our server was wonderful. The scenery was great - farmland, farm animals, a small park, and other small attractions that the train goes through. 45 minutes is perfect duration especially with a child. We’re from honesdale — known for having the first locomotive train so we’ve been on several rides by us. But this one was so much nicer in every single way. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lancaster!

Strasburg Rail Road is a wonderful experience for families, students, and anyone who loves history and trains! The ride through the beautiful Amish countryside feels like stepping back in time — peaceful fields, horses, and old barns all along the way. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience both fun and educational. The vintage steam locomotive is kept in amazing condition, and you can feel the power and nostalgia with every whistle. The station area is also lovely, with gift shops, small museums, and food options nearby. Perfect for kids and groups — it’s not just a train ride, it’s a journey through history. Highly recommend visiting, especially in the fall when the scenery is at its best!

We attended the Cheese and Wine event and had a great time! The station looked magical with Christmas lights, wreaths, and trees creating a festive atmosphere. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the parlor car had a cozy, vintage feel. The train ride was shorter than expected, and since we went at night, there wasn’t much scenery to see—daytime rides would be better for that. The cheese and wine were delicious but the portions were on the small side. I do not beleive the ticket price reflected the quantity of the cheese and wine accurately. The gift shop was a pleasant surprise with lots of train-themed and holiday items. Overall, it was a fun and festive experience, perfect for the holiday season!

My friends and I are celebrating 50 yrs of friendship and I mentioned it to the conductor and next thing I know he come with balloons for us, we were so surprised. I had reserved seats in the lounge car which was great with the swivel chairs. The ride was great with interesting landscapes and the ride was monitored along the way. My friends and I truly enjoyed it.

Just fantastic 🤩 I've been on several train rides, but this is the most scenic and the nicest restored cars, and the most selection of seating. And a real steam engine, choo choo!🚂 And the cutest little train station village and shops. Best T-shirt 👕 choices. Just great fun 🙌🏻

We drove all the way from Cleveland, Ohio (6 hours!!) to ride this train and it was incredible. My 3 year old is obsessed with trains so instead of having a birthday party we decided to spend a weekend away to learn all about trains. The entire experience was incredible - meeting Mrs. Claus, dropping a letter to Santa in the hopes we will receive a letter back, the Christmas songs, the train itself was so nostalgic, Santa on board was great! We also really enjoyed the smaller train ride after riding the big train. All in all, we had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone. We arrived 45 min prior to getting on the train (like the email recommended) so we could spend some time to do all the fun Christmas activities. Also, shockingly enough, I found this train experience using ChatGPT. I'm a working mom of 3 with limited time so I took to ChatGPT to help plan our weekend away and this is what it recommended we do. So glad I trusted it!

If you're making a trip to Lancaster, adding this to your itinerary is a must. We were just there this past weekend and did the Santa Express car (they have different experiences and price points). Ours was just perfect, a little less than an hour, with beautiful scenic route, live entertainment with instruments and Carolers. Of course the Cherry on top was Santa making his way and stopping to speak with every child, give a small Candycane and ornament gift and take pictures with each family. In addition to all that, they have a lovely station with stores, eateries, and also outdoor entertainment. Super super cute! Will go back!

A quaint little amusement/water park in Lancaster, PA. There are a few rides for the older crowd, but I think this park is geared mainly to the younger kids. My boyfriend and I took his 9 year old daughter and we all had a great time. You could actually spend the entire day at the water park if you wanted to. We didn't get to see any of the shows as we were only in Lancaster for a few days. It's interesting to see this park right along the main roadway. I believe the park was open in 1963, so I do not know if that highway was there at that time. There is also an area where you can walk through and learn about dinosaurs.

Our 6 and 4 year old grandchildren love it here. Their favorite rides are the Whip It, Old Fashioned Car, the small roller coaster, the Bee. They were disappointed this last visit because none of the dinosaurs in explore Island were working. A fun amusement park.

Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park 2249 Lincoln Hwy E, Lancaster, PA 17602 So I’m not gonna lie I wasn’t sure what to think when my wife said let’s go to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. Doesn’t really seem like there’s anything there as a quick roadtrip destination, but the fact that this amusement park is geared towards 12 and under and we needed some long overdue family fun we decided to hit the road. Once we arrived, the checking process was super easy because we bought our tickets online. People that were purchasing tickets on site were waiting forever in line 😩. Shout out to my wife for making the arrangements online. We got in and began riding all the kid friendly rides we could fit. First we went on a boat ride and had to identify different characters along the way. We rode the skylift across the park which was relaxing. Once we got off the skylift we went to a BBQ stand to eat and unfortunately that was the only bad part about the park. The burgers weren’t real ground beef, they didn’t have any of their sides like, and the smoked sausage wasn’t very good either. They also ran out of drinks so we had to get kiddie cups of water. After the dissster that was lunch we allowed the girls to ride a bunch of rides that parents couldn’t ride with them on. We watched a water show with an evil sorcerer, a king who’s princess daughter needed to be saved by the prince that was turned into a frog by the sorcerer because he wanted to marry the princess himself. We were able to finish off the park with a couple of family rides and rollercoasters as well as taking the girls to the gift shop and grabbing some souvenirs. If we ever go again we’ll stick to your traditional amusement park food like chicken tenders, pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, etc, but all in all it was a great experience and most importantly the girls had lots of fun!

My son is 7 years old and he is at the perfect age for this amusement park. Definitely worth checking out at least once. You can easily see the whole park in 1 day. We plan to come back during Christmas since they decorate the park all up & you can even book Christmas dinner with Santa & his Elves! Kinda a cool experience for your little ones before they get to old. (Insert tear) lol

Dutch wonderland sure showed me and my family a good time everything where age-appropriate, we try almost all the rides they could ride. The water area was great since i had my 2 year old and 5 year old even i had a blast. Staff was informative friendy if we could have found something they insured that we found it. We had gotten food while there a little pricey for chicken tenders and fries finish it off with a slushy variety of flavors. So much fun things to do loved it i rate 10/10

Really awesome place for a family fun day. SO many fun rides and things to do. Delicious treats and eats throughout the park - highly recommended.

I loved it here and cannot wait to return! I visited for the first time today with my husband (who hates rides) and my 2.5yr old toddler (who had yet to experience them). It is the perfect place to go as a family with a little one trying rides for the very first time. The rides are specifically designed with kiddos in mind, so the majority are low stakes and not very intense. I appreciated their easy system for riding based on height, and it was clearly posted at each ride. I also loved that I could walk into the rides with my son and get him situated and buckled before they began (of course workers double checked every time, but it gave me kiddo peace of mind to have me walk in with him). There were lots of food stalls and restaurants around, bathrooms in convenient locations (which included changing stations for littles), a first aid booth, strollers for rent (and plenty of places to put said strollers when on rides), games to play, and the entire park was very walkable. There were no crazy hills or long stretches of path where rides were not accessible. Wait times for rides were very short-- in fact, most of the time there was never a line. For the couple times we did wait, it was not longer than 10 minutes, and there was often shade or coverage from the sun. The water area was a blast and definitely helped us cool off. We went straight there to drop off our swim stuff (in a locker) which made it easy to get to when we were ready, and it kept us from toting extra stuff around all afternoon. The locker was for all day which was wonderful. There were so many things to do outside of rides. Shows, dives, pop up theater, Santa, a foam party, story time--it was a jam packed place. If you're looking for a place to take your littles for the day, look no further! Dutch Wonderland is the perfect place to go. Look for deals online for tickets. Kids under 3 are FREE!!!

Beautiful show, talented performers, and truly impressive live music! Our family enjoyed every minute and will be returning.

This is a great venue to view a concert or show. Parking is ample and free. The seats are newer and are comfortable. The stage is visible from all the seats. The sound is very good. We had a great time at the Wynonna Judd concert. It was a great concert. So great to see her locally. You can bring an unopened bottle of water with you into the auditorium. The chairs have cup holders. The bathrooms have many stalls and were nice and clean. There is a concession stand where you can buy non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Great venue!!!!

Took my 87 year old dad to see Daniel O'Donnell. Sold Out Show!!! Great show and seats! We sat in the first row of balcony and he was thrilled!! Will definitely return for more shows!!

Beautiful venue. We had great seats for the Gabby Barrett show, and really enjoyed the concert.

Absolutely a great venue as they have a variety of music genres for everyone to enjoy. The staff inside is always super friendly and always willing to assist you in anyway.

We loved our experience at this place! We watched the Celtic tap dancers and it was a wow! The facility was well taken care of and they had concierge leading the way and directing traffic to make the intermission go as smoothly as possible!

The Christmas show was very good! Only one complaint when I went to drop off my mom who has trouble walking long distances at the front door a older guy helping with parking yelled at us like 5 times not to do drop offs there and slammed the door on my mom. Very rude and if I had his name would have said something to a worker there. Other than that the ushers were very nice and concession stand workers and the show was 10/10🔥

Great park in a great town. Today we saw a live performance of "Swing" performed by Servants Stage. It was music, dance and awesome singing. The park has an excellent band shell, along with a concession stand, picnic pavilions and restrooms. The stream runs through the park and is home to dozens of ducks. A fun place to visit.

It's a perfect place for family picnics, there are tables with benches, peaceful environment with squirrels and ducks, and free parking. The Lititz Spring park is quite small and it's actually surprising how many different impressions that place can fit. There are ponds and canals for ducks. There is a church near by with beautiful flowers. There are sounds of organ coming from time to time to the park (maybe from the church). There are some nice cafes around (I recommend New Holland). It's a good place to relax and talk to your family outside your house.

Lititz Spring Park is a charming space with lush greenery and serene fountain. The Reading caboose station was a fun photo op. A lovely place to unwind and enjoy; watching the ducks swim by was delightful. There is free parking. Highly recommend for a peaceful stroll!

Never been to a park before tailor made for ducks. Good size park for being in the center of a town. Has plenty of green area and trees, 2 huge covered outdoor picnic facilities and a man made stream running through it. They take advantage of the gentle slope and have 2 big ponds at both ends. The ducks take notice and flock there to sit and drift all day long. Unique.

This is a cute park where you can sit back and relax or learn some history with the caboose museum. Feed some ducks or let your kids unwind in the playground . There is a gazebo for a party and baseball field .

It’s always been my favorite park since first visiting last year for the July 4th. There’s an extremely small but cute farmers market every Thursday (which more places should def get in on this so can have more shoppers supporting small businesses!) it’s always so clean, the ducks are so cute and chill and they aren’t those pesky Canadian geese, they are actual real ducks lol. What’s missing is a dog park/area, splash zone for kids, and a secured way to get into the park from the residents in the buildings next to it. I do enjoy all the pokemon Go community things that happen, there should be more little festivals! It’s such a big place with a amphitheater even

Mi girls and I love this park we come to visit Pennsylvania once a year to visit family and Lititz park is a must . We love feeding the ducks and play on the swings and playground
