This place is an absolute must see for anyone who likes the outdoors, especially if you are a birder. The swamp is amazing and it is so cool to get to see an old growth forest like this. The trail is very well kept. There are lots of activities that they offer. When we went it wasn't too crowded. Go early if you're visiting outside of the winter months to avoid the heat.

My first time at this beautiful place. I will be back. Lovely two mile boardwalk with gorgeous views and very friendly people that work there! Have a nice gift shop, clean bathrooms and I got water and snacks as well for the walk. Very accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Highly recommended checking out this wonderful preserve! Take your time and listen to Nature!

This place is gorgeous. The boardwalk is in great shape. There is a lot of shade so we were comfortable despite the Florida sun and heat. If you really want to take your time, you could easily spend about 3 hours at this place. We didn't see as much wildlife as we had hoped for but then we were on a tight time schedule. Even so just the relaxing nature of the place and the beauty made it worthwhile. If I had anything negative to say, I feel the $17 per person is a bit much for a place like this.

A great way to experience all of the ecotones of the everglades with a boardwalk. Move through the various habitats over the 2.25 mile walk to observe so much flora and fauna of Southern Florida. Great experience for our family.

Such an interesting park with a plethora of wildlife and plant life. Whether you enjoy a nice walk, plentiful wildlife or different plant life, this is an excellent destination. We will be back!

Corkscrew swamp is an amazing place. No matter what time of year you’re there, there’s a lot to see. The bird life here is great, and in the winter it’s a little easier to spot certain things because the plants are a little bit smaller and less obstructive. There’s good birds year-round, but especially in the spring and fall. Lately, I always seem to be here in the middle of winter.

We have been visiting Corkscrew Swamp for many years now and have had some great visits in the past, over the last few years though it has been somewhat disappointing as there has been a much lower water level to what it used to be, unfortunately this seems to have affected how much wildlife and birds that we have seen here. It is a lovely walk on the boardwalk. Facilities can only be found at the visitor center (entrance) Don't forget the bug spray Don't forget to book online before you go.

This place is great. Kiss loved safari drive through ans got to see animals. It was hot so some were hiding in the shade but we were still able to see. After drive through, we went to the park are and there is more things to see and do. They have petting and feeding opportunities there. They have merry-go-round and a few other small rides (great for kids 3-7). They have 2 big water slides (have to be over 48 inches) and a splash pad with smaller rides for smaller kids. I remember making a day out of it. Our family had a great time there.

We love Lion Country Safari! It’s such an amazing place to bring the family and friends. You are allowed to respectfully drive through the park and take in the surreal sights of the diverse array of animals and habitats. You can take your time to truly appreciate everything that’s available. Once you’re done driving through the safari, you can spend some time at the park to continue to observe Gods creatures, grab a snack, let the kiddos play at the waterpark, or purchase some souvenirs. I highly recommend spending a day at the Safari.

What an incredible safari tour! With so many animals to view it was well worth the admission cost. When driving through, you receive (at your wish) a voice guided tour that you can get scanning the qr code which provides you with facts and history of each animal within the park. What makes this park even more incredible, is you can walk through another park where you view birds, flamingos, giraffes and go on a boat tour (extra fee). There is a small amusement park along with gorgeous flowers and fascinating decorative paths to walk through. Definitely a place for those between 2-120 years!!!!

Amazing experience! 🦁 The safari was so much fun — we got really close to the animals, especially the giraffes and zebras. The place is clean, well organized, and perfect for families. You can tell the animals are well cared for. Definitely worth the visit

It was a nice visit! Although I would like to have had the windows down the animals didn’t seem interested in approaching our vehicles but we had our windows up, it was nice to drive through once and walk around we did the feeding and petting area we enjoyed the boat tour and the maze. We didn’t eat there but we stopped by a Mexican restaurant close by avanges or something like that. But it was a nice time we left there happy. Wasn’t too hot walking around we ran through splash pad but didn’t stay there’s

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Lion Country Safari and it was such a wonderful experience! Seeing the animals up close from the comfort of your car is truly unique. Everything is very well organized, the animals look healthy and well cared for, and the drive-through safari is so much fun for the whole family. After the ride, there’s also a walk-through area where you can feed some animals, enjoy games, and other activities. It’s the perfect place to spend a full day surrounded by nature, learning, and fun. 🦁🦒🦓🐘 🫶🏻🐘🦒🦓

We had a great experience. We arrived at 9:30 and all of the animals were alert and active. Some were running and playing. You can drive through the safari multiple times. There are other animals in the walking portion of Lion Country Safari. I didn't take many photos because I wanted to enjoy the moment.

This big cat sanctuary didn't disappoint. It is clean, shady and lots of animals to look at. Our tour guide Jossie was great, knew a lot of interesting information and kept us interested. A definite must.

5 stars aren't enough. 1st time visit, Took my son and daughter-in-law and it was such a plesent experience. Josie was our guide and she was so personable and knowledgeable. Her dedication and passion was so evident. The interactions with the animals was pure joy, you can see how well they are cared for and maintained. Created and operations completely on donations and love. I highly recommend a visit. Check their website as they have limited hours as to not over stress the animals which I certainly appreciate. Completely ran on donations and love

The place was clean. The girl who did the tour was knowledgeable but the two people that came with me and myself started getting bored, she talked WAY to long on each animal. I'm sure we weren't the only ones to feel that way. After awhile you kinda just zoned her out. Aso I'm handicapped and needed to sit down occasionally. It would have been nice had an employee at least clean the chairs & benches ( which I appreciated ) they were so dirty, you didn't even want to sit down. That is why I deducted a star. Animals were really cool. If you are able to stand in one place for 10 to 15 minutes on each animal, and listen to a tour guide go on & on, I highly recommend this place.

This was our 6th time here and it never disappoints. Everytime you come is like the first time! Always something new, always another example of selfless people caring for beautiful animals. Our guide this time was Josie, which was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. My son was in town from Ft Drum and when asked what he wanted to do, he said to come here. This is our favorite day trip adventure. They even had umbrellas delivered to us mid-tour when it started to rain. Five stars is not enough!

We loved the variety of animals and our tour guide Josie was so knowledgeable and friendly. There will be many more trips there in our future!

Absolutely incredible. We got 2.5 hours on the tour..lots of information and the animals seem very loved and well cared for.

Had an incredible time with our family at McCarthy, kids ages 5, 8 & 10. I highly recommend this place. It’s well worth the money spent. It’s evident the animals are loved and well taken care of. We are so glad we took time on our vacation to visit McCarthy’s.

Do you want to see baby turtles? Because they have baby turtles! And also adult turtles that are being rehabilitated and they’re all so amazing. The staff is super knowledgeable and told me awesome turtle facts. Totally picked up a super soft shirt and an awesome bucket hat and a cute bracelet. They run on donations so entry is free but a couple of bucks dropped in the box is appreciated.

Non-profit so donations accepted but not required. Wonderful work being done at this beautiful facility. Great educational place to visit. Excellent children's exhibits. Knowledge and friendly docente. Nicely stocked gift shop. There's a cafe but we didn't visit.

What an amazing facility!! You get up close to the turtles and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly. My wife and I are members other Georgia Sea turtle center and we have been to the Sea turtle hospital in marathon key. This was the last one on our bucket list. We had an amazing time talking to the staff and watching the turtles.

We had a fantastic time visiting the Loggerhead Marinelife Center! It’s an incredible place focused on sea turtle conservation, and you can really see how much care and passion the staff put into their work. The center is well-organized, educational, and fun for both kids and adults. We loved seeing the rescued sea turtles up close and learning about their rehabilitation. The exhibits are interactive and informative without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of education and entertainment. It’s also free to visit (donations are encouraged), which makes it an easy stop if you’re in the area. Highly recommend for families or anyone interested in marine life or environmental conservation. A meaningful and memorable experience!

Very nice marine life center. Rescues turtles, jellyfish, sharks and other fish. Excellent for all ages. We spent about 4 hours: did the free presentation, the paid tour, gift shop and lunch. Super interesting!

This place is amazing. They do such good work with the sea life in their care. We went to the early Access Tour and Jen (I think that was her name) did a great job. We were so impressed at her knowledge and the depth of the tour. Please make a donation if you can, as they rely on donations to do all that they do.

This is a marine sanctuary that nurses sick turtles. It has 3 floors - a gift shop, a Cafe, an amphitheater, tanks with fishes, sharks and of course turtles. They have rooms for educational presentations and educational exhibits throughout. It also has a turtle hospital and rehabilitation center. Did I mention free admission? However, they do request a donation and they suggest $10. Here is where you can see turtles, fishes and sharks, up close and personal. Well maintained facility. Free parking. Don't forget to visit the beach in the back where you can see turtle nests and info on how many nests and hatching for each species. Incredible. Really fascinating. I was there 2 hours and I didn't get to see it all. Summary: I cannot recommend this place enough. Great for kids, school field trips or just visiting on your own. You are going to love it. FYI - they survive on donations. Please be generous. Or better yet, Adopt a Turtle. Amount of one time donations, $40, $75, $100 or $250. You will get a gift pack based on your donation that includes Reusable logo bag, a small or large stuffed turtle, a hat, a straw, Sea Turtle Adoption Certificate and a paper framed photo of your adopted Turtle. I adopted Paddles. And so glad I did. I can check her progress online until she is released back to the water. If I return, I can visit and spend time with her. Paddles is an adult turtle with a boat strike. The fracture was stabilized with bone plates. Treating her with antibiotics, pain management, and wound care. Let's pray for her recovery. Visiting this place could possibly change your life or at least get you an adopted Turtle. Miriam C #travelingtheworldwithmiriam #loggerheadmarinelifecenter

Excellent show of history dedicated to those who served. Stories told you probably didn't even know about, tons of cool artillery and history you get to experience unlike other museums that we've been to. My personal favorite was the boats they had outside on display and some of the weapons they had inside of the building. If you are in the area or if you have an interest in this stuff I highly recommend giving this place a check out to see some truly incredible things.

Had a great day visiting this amazing museum. I went with two marines brothers and the site is great. Be prepared for a long visit, at least if you like to check every exhibit and read the whole history about, due they share all the data and items are plenty. The store I believe it could have more stuff but stills fine. 💯 % recommendable

A lovely visit to this museum right next to the beach by the way a huge plus…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ the outdoor exhibits are free to wander, able to enter the huge ship was a nice touch - I did enjoy taking pictures from the height of the ship, they had educational videos about war & the ship’s history. The outdoor was a nice walk & it had an obstacle course for the kids. The inside was $16/but they offered military discounts. All items have been donated and actually used somehow in someway so that was interesting. Well maintained but did spend more time outside than inside. A day out visit was worth it!!!

Love the interactive displays. Great history sections like a real natural museum. Memories of the O course was something. Great memorial plaque wall. And all the challenge coins I ever heard of

Don’t let the size fool you this place is packed with awesome history! Carve out about 2-3hrs there is a lot to see and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Phenomenal museum show casing the sacrifices we “entitled” Americans take for granted to live free, love this place and makes me proud to be a Floridian!

It is a very interesting place that I could spend a lot of time reading and learning about Navy Seal as there're so many exhibits and historical artifacts. There're nice and clean restrooms inside and also a gift shop.

Excellent setup for different eras of the Seals in action, did close early for the veterans memorial next door in the park.

It was not as great as I had hoped from previous reviews implied. We toured the park and watched a show. We also did the half hour airboat tour. We did not see any gators on the tour but we did see an abandoned nest. Staff were friendly. It was enjoyable but not what we were expecting. Animal enclosures seem quite small. The bird enclosure was neat. My son enjoyed seeing the large alligators in the pond. We decided to skip the drive through safari.

It's always great to return to Wild Florida. Definitely worth the drive out to see so many exotic animals. This time we included a Capybara Encounter. Piper was a great guide. Passed along so much information! She made the visit fun and also showed us the warthogs adjacent to the Capy area Thanks Piper for making our visit special!

We embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the wilds of Florida, embarking on the exclusive VIP tour. Arriving before the park’s opening, we were promptly checked in, eliminating any wait time. Our knowledgeable tour guide led us through the entire park, sharing captivating insights about each animal we encountered. Her genuine passion for these creatures shone through in her words and actions, as she passionately explained their unique characteristics and the efforts made to protect and educate the public about their significance. One of the highlights of the tour was our opportunity to engage with the capybaras, lemurs, sloths, and, my personal favorite, the African porcupines. Contrary to popular belief, these porcupines don’t shoot their quills at you. Instead, they exuded a playful and affectionate demeanor, resembling and even resembling excited dogs. Their adorable nature made them a delightful addition to our journey. Throughout the park, we were treated to a diverse array of wildlife, including crocodiles and alligators. Interactive shows provided valuable information about these magnificent creatures and their various species. Additionally, we visited a petting zoo featuring goats and a majestic white turkey. Our day of exploration culminated in a delightful lunch at the park’s café, where we were delighted to discover a vegan option. The attentive staff ensured our food was prepared in a separate area with separate utensils, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination. To quench our thirst, we indulged in the delicious Safari slushies, which came in souvenir bottles adorned with alligator heads. Next we embarked on a scenic airboat ride through a vast lake, where we were treated to breathtaking views of wild alligators, birds, and the untouched beauty of Florida’s past. This serene and awe-inspiring experience left us feeling both exhilarated and relaxed. Finally, we embarked on our own drive-through safari, allowing us to explore the park at our own pace. The tour guide even provided designated areas for vehicles to pull over, accommodating those behind us who wished to pass. This personalized experience ensured that we fully immersed ourselves in the wonders of the wild Florida. Here, you’ll encounter a diverse array of animals, including deer, zebras, antelopes, camels, crocodiles, alligators, bison, cows with impressive horns, and a magnificent giraffe where you can feed it and take pictures. The Safari, Gator Park, Wild Florida, and our knowledgeable tour guide made this experience truly special. If you spend some time here, you’ll be in for a treat. We sincerely appreciate everything and look forward to returning soon. Thank you again for making us feel so special and sharing the lives of the animals with us.

My kids loved this whole visit! The fan boat was really cool and our tour guide was so knowledgeable! We took the one hour boat tour and it was so worth it! Make sure to pack some sunglasses lol. Seeing alligators in the wild was really cool but my kids really really loved the animals at the park. You can tell they are well looked after and loved.

Had an amazing day at wild florida we did the air boat ride with captain Mark who was very entertaining and great at pointing out wild like saw lots of gators and birds during the tour. We also did the drive thru safari plus the adventure park was amazing highly reccomend esp if Busch gardens is too expensive wild adventure was affordable and u deff the a good bang for your buck. Buy in advance made check in super easy and u can plan for what time u want to take your ride

Visited Wild Florida to surprise my 11-year-old son with the Capybara encounter, and it was a hit! He thoroughly enjoyed it, and the instructor's expertise really added to the experience. The animal park itself is a manageable size, yet packed with a diverse array of fascinating animals. The Wild Safari ride was the highlight for my 4-year-old. The abundance of animals to spot, combined with the fun checklist provided, kept us entertained and engaged from the comfort of our car. Overall, Wild Florida offers a fantastic and memorable family day out

Amazing park, came with the family over the weekend arrived around 9:30 in the morning and then had to wait in line to enter the drive-through Safari. Spend a good hour doing the Safari, then went to the gator Park to see some more exotic animals. They do offer airboat tours, which is worth it. Get to see gators and their egg nests in the wild

I haven’t visited this place in a while, and it still feels as interesting as ever! There’s a wide variety of animals from all around the world (including here), spread out into multiple exhibits! I do like some of the animals in here, such as giraffes, lemurs, and birds. Recently, they’ve added a lot more digital activities such as in the Rainforest Trek exhibit (you can scan multiple QR codes to take mini quizzes and learn more about the animals). There’s even murals you can take pictures in front of, made by talented artists! I recommend you take your kids to this zoo, since there’s a lot to explore and do!

This is a lovely zoo with nicely shaded paths and great visibility. They have a creative boardwalk and several feeding opportunities available. It is not a large zoo (done on about 2-3 hours) but an enjoyable one with healthy and active animals.

We visited Brevard Zoo for the first time today, and we absolutely loved it! 🚗 The drive from Orlando took a little over an hour, but it was definitely worth it. The zoo is very green, clean, and perfectly designed for families with kids. The children were especially excited about the giraffes — you can get really close and even feed them. The Halloween decorations created a fun atmosphere, and the Star Wars characters made their day! We got amazing photos 😄 There are lots of shaded areas, clean walkways, and the staff is friendly. It’s a perfect place to walk around with kids, take pictures, and enjoy the activities. Our children had such a great time that they came home tired but happy. We’ll definitely come back again and highly recommend it to other families!

The best zoo or animal park I have been too (besides Disney's Animal Kingdom). So well maintained and perfect balance of areas and things to do. Great activities for kids and feeding a Giraffe was icing on the cake.

It is always a pleasure to visit the Brevard Zoo. It is easy to navigate, especially for those who have difficulties walking. The zoo is divided in several sections from Africa to Australia, the Rainforest, and Florida. I personally enjoy the giraffes. At their enclosure you can buy food for the animals and feed the giraffes on a platform high enough to look them straight in the eye. The lion enclosure is newer and quite large, and it includes three brothers. Another cool enclosure is in the Australia section, where you can experience kangaroos without barriers - however, you can only observe, but not touch or interact with them. There are numerous volunteers to answer any questions you may have about the zoo and its animals. They know the personalities, history, and quirks of certain animals which they will happily share with the visitors. This zoo is worth every penny.

GREATLY IMPROVED! OK so admittedly I had not ventured to the Brevard zoo in probably what has been 20 years now. Boy does time fly, right? but they have really made some huge improvements. It's really pleasant and the walkways railings are all in good shape and well maintained. The vegetation has been trimmed and pruned and it just makes for lots of nice greenery surrounding you as you stroll along. there were enough animals and exhibits to keep it interesting and was very good the way everything was laid out!

My kids and I really liked this zoo! I’d consider this a medium sized zoo (not as big as Miami Zoo but definitely bigger than the Palm Beach Zoo). There are a lot of animals to see and there are quite a few volunteers around the park who are happy to tell you about the animals. There is a little kids water area which is great for cooling off, a petting zoo, and areas where you can feed certain animals. The food options are good but expensive. My children and I spent 3.5 hours visiting and were able to see everything. I plan on visiting again in the future.

We recently got into cruising and our trip to cocoa beach pier was absolutely awesome there was a waiter named Harvey. I was really thankful for his service I was so impressed with him that he got me my coconut drink for me that I have been wanting everywhere we have been. My only regret is getting him to sign my coconut so I named him HARVEY after him. Wonderful experience He was really great deserving of a raise. It’s a place I would love to visit again. So Harvey you’re awesome thank you so much…from Tennessee

We stopped by the Cocoa Beach Pier early in the afternoon while exploring the area and were pleasantly surprised. The pier itself is fantastic, a vibrant mix of eateries, shops, and great ocean views, all right on the beautiful, pristine beach. The beach atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, perfect for a stroll or simply soaking in the coastal vibe. We were able to park right out front, which was convenient, though it cost $20. We didn’t really look for other parking options, but the ease of access made it worth it for us. Overall, it's a great spot to take in the scenery, grab a bite, and enjoy a classic Florida beach experience!

My wife and I stopped here late in the morning of August 15, 2025 while on a camping trip to Jetty Park a few miles to the north of it. We tried to go in the morning after breakfast, but the parking lot was closed and the attendant told us it opened at 11:00, but it was going to cost us $15 to park. I wasn't real happy about that, but we came back after checking out nearby Ron Jon Surf Shop for a few hours. It appears the Westgate Mall company bought out the pier a few years ago and has done a good job of cleaning it up and renovating it. There are several restaurants along the pier now and we dined at the giant Tiki Bar way out on the end of it. You can also rent beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Overall, in spite of the expensive parking fee, this is definitely a nice place to go if you are visiting Cocoa Beach.

Cocoa Beach Pier is the spot to be—lively, full of energy, and with amazing waves, especially on the right side of the pier. Spent a month here and loved every minute. Great surf, ocean views, and a vibrant atmosphere make it unforgettable for locals and visitors alike.

Beach is clean. Expect crowds. We took our beach blanket and stuff but there are chairs and umbrella rentals in the beach. Thing is all those close at 5pm, then they collect them back. There were washrooms, we were able to change clothes in them. Enough space for that but not too clean. There were showers to wash off sand. Also there were gift shops and restaurants. We were able to buy some beers and food. Don’t forget to take your ID for that. 1 beer for 1 ID. Other than sunbathing saw people surfing, playing volleyball as well.

Excellently well maintained, there are ice cream shops, souvenirs stores, a restaurant , restrooms and some space to walk and admire the ocean and the beach and the surfers. Really refreshing to go up there 100% recommended . It’s Free. Opens with good weather because if there is a bit of bad weather it will be closed for safety.

I bought so much clothing from one of those shops! The word Threads was in it, I don't remember. I bought all my souvenirs there, clothing, jewelry. I ate at Pier 52, it was awesome!! I had the Gator Melt.

I am so impressed with KSC! Thank you for extending a free entry to veterans and discounts for family. We came in on Veterans Day and had a fabulous time. I was here years ago and I loved all the updates and changes made. This is an exciting day of exploration for young and old alike. The up close and personal views of these massive flying machines takes your breath away. The bus tour that is included in the entry price was very informative and the eagles were in their nest! Awesome day!

​🚀 A Wonderful Place to Explore Space History ​This museum is a wonderful place to learn about the history of the space race. The exhibits are fascinating and make the visit truly worthwhile. ​However, I would recommend that the management consider investing a bit to improve some of the areas that are starting to look very dated, specifically the animations and screens. They seem quite old and updating them would significantly enhance the visitor experience. ​Overall, it is definitely worth visiting! ​Would you like me to translate or write any other reviews for you?

A wonderful experience overall! There’s an impressive amount to see and do. From start to finish, everything was engaging and well put together. You’ll definitely want more than one day to explore it all. There’s just too much to appreciate in a single visit. If you’re planning a trip, give yourself plenty of time!

I left much later than planned as I kept finding cool things to do! I did the experience with the bus tour at the start of my visit and it was well worth it. The two hour trip with a few stops along the way deep within the complex and the excellent narration of Jerome gave me great insight into what I was seeing (excellent if you have attention challenges). Seeing rockets on the pads preparing for launch hours later from a distance at pad 39, standing in front of the massive vehicle assembly building and more during the bus tour was great. The last stop is the Apollo 8 firing room which was extremely well done with the actual communications from the control room. At the main complex, do not miss the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. And a bonus near the end of the tour seeing the eagles up close at their nest. Overall, exceeded my expectations and could have spent many more hours.

Absolutely amazing experience with so many authentic pieces. My wife and I made an entire day out of this and would probably have done more with extra time. We took this as part of a hotel package but looking g back would have made a dedicated trip. I learned so much about a subject that I had been fascinated by as a child but let slip away. They were I teractive and engaging with most activities but gave you a do it yourself pace to explore.

We went November 3rd and really enjoyed our day. Loved the bus tour, I recommend doing that first. Loved that I bought the digital photo package for $20. Then getting dressed in a space suit and doing pictures was really fun. Lots to learn and explore, you won’t be disappointed.

Extremely enlightening especially for fools who doubt the Apollo missions and the Moon Missions in general. Exceptional Layout. The entire facility is far grander than many people can imagine. The sheer amount of infrastructure and legacy alone are reason to visit and peer into the era of American excess and innovation as well as see new Giga innovators like Space X, and Blue Origin, the only 2 providers in the world to land Orbital rockets. 🇺🇸💚💙 Do this, use a whole day, take your time, bask in the glory.

Do you enjoy spending a sweltering hot Sunday morning trudging up hundreds of stairs and hauling your sweaty body to the top and around the edge of a railing hundreds of feet in the air in order to take in the oxygen your lungs burn for, the breeze your dripping face yearns for, and the views that make every single step worth it? Well, this is it! This is your place! We met an employee named Todd who truly went the extra mile to make our trip memorable. He was personable and knowledgeable, both making him a valuable asset to the destination. When we completed our journey to the top and around the museum(s), we were gifted a certificate boasting our accomplishment. A sweet touch that will serve as a reminder of the time we climbed the tallest lighthouse in Florida and the 2nd tallest in the US!

Absolutely loved it here!! The ladies working were absolutely wonderful and helpful!! Got a little lighthouse and a cute bag!! We went and saw all the buildings, even climbed the lighthouse! It was beautiful. Very well taken care of. The gentlemen at the other building; the hotel. He was very kind and helpful as well! We didn't have to wait for a group to tour or anything too. Just get your tickets/wrist band and head on in!

Free parking just steps away from the gift shop where you can purchase your tickets. Admission to the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is $6.95 for adults (age 12+), $1.95 for children (ages 3-11), and free for infants (ages 0-2). Note: It was one of the hottest/most humid days of the summer so drink up before you get there and dress appropriately. Went right to the beach after to cool off ;) but it is a lovely way to start your day. Our docent took us to the lighthouse, allowed us to climb the 209+ stairs (she didn’t go with us and I don’t blame her), beautiful breeze and a wonderful view.Take the time to take a few videos and photos. However, Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum offers much more than a climb—it’s a blend of coastal drama, architectural history, and educational exhibits. Whether climbing to the top for sweeping views or exploring the restored Fresnel lens displays, visitors consistently find it worth the visit, whether or not they’re lighthouse buffs. Friendly staff, well-kept facilities, and budget‑friendly pricing all add to the appeal. What a lovely part of Saturday. Thank you

Worth the Climb! Climbing to the top of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse was tough but so rewarding. The views of the ocean and waterways stretching out forever were breathtaking, and the breeze at the top felt incredible. Inside, the museum’s old lighthouse lenses were fascinating, and the Pacetti Hotel Museum gave us a glimpse of the area’s history. It’s a great mix of adventure and learning, and my teens loved it too.

Great value interesting historical attraction. Super friendly and informative staff. Free parking and fantastic views from the top.

This is a real gem! Beautifully restored and maintained museum with a working lighthouse. Very informative and interesting. The view is worth the climb!

Very informative, well worth the price of admission. Rewards of the climb to the top is awesome (203 somewhat steep steps).

We were going to just tour the museum, but the tram tour of the racetrack area was only $15 more, so we did both! The tram tour was awesome! Just being in the infield area of the track made my day 😃 ! The gentleman giving the tour (I wish I could remember his name) was exceptional! The amount of information he provided was mind boggling 😊 ! The museum was really well done and had many more exhibits than I really thought they'd have. The gift shop at the end has something for everyone on your list! I would definitely tour the entire place again!

We had a fantastic time on the Daytona International Speedway VIP Tour! From the moment we entered the building, the staff were friendly and welcoming. We loved seeing the cars in the lobby, learning about the history of the Speedway and its legendary drivers, and exploring the facilities, museum, and gift shops. The rooftop lookout, VIP lounge, and observation deck provided incredible views of this iconic track. Special thanks to the many sponsors; NASCAR, AdventHealth, Toyota, Ally, Rolex, and others, who help make this such a world-class experience. Every NASCAR fan should take this tour at least once! Our only suggestion is that the 22-passenger tour bus used for the VIP tour could be improved. The design of the bus unfortunately blocks much of the forward view, so passengers—especially those in the front seats, can’t clearly see the sites as the guide describes them. It would make the experience even better if a bus with an unobstructed front view were used, allowing guests to see each location as the driver approaches it. Overall, a fantastic experience that we highly recommend. We look forward to visiting again!

On our way home. We've been wanting to visit for a while, I'm glad we did. The tour was very informative. The track is fantastic. The museum was great. They had a virtual drive.

Huge thank you to the Daytona Beach Speedway for partnering with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office to support families during the Thanksgiving drive. With so many people affected by the SNAP benefit delays during the government shutdown, this event made a real difference. It’s incredible to see a major community landmark step up and help local families in such a meaningful way. Your generosity, organization, and commitment to the community truly stand out. Big thanks to everyone involved, you helped bring hope and relief when it was needed most.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We are not into racing but it doesn't matter we learnt more than we thought 🤔 and was well worth the money. The museum was far better than the Silverstone race track in the United Kingdom.

The World Center of Racing! No place on earth like Daytona. I took my whole family to the 500 and my oldest son and I went three years straight to the night race in the summer. An amazing experience for a lifetime of memories.

Great track and amenities. We came for a Chin Track Days event and had a blast. Toured the facility and explored the museum. Would definitely recommend coming to Daytona for track days, racing, or tours!

I recently visited Daytona Beach with high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience was quite underwhelming and did not live up to the hype. As a destination known for its vibrant beach culture and attractions, I was expecting a lively and enjoyable atmosphere, but several factors left me disappointed. The beach itself was not as pristine as I had hoped. The sand was deserted , which was very disappointing. Additionally, the beach seemed less clean than anticipated, with litter in some areas, which was disheartening. I was expecting a lively and energetic atmosphere, but instead found the area to be somewhat lackluster. Many of the shops and attractions felt dated, and there was a noticeable lack of vibrancy in the downtown area. It seemed as though the town had seen better days and was in need of revitalization. My visit to Daytona Beach was not what I had anticipated, and I left feeling disappointed. The beach and town did not meet my expectations, and the overall experience was underwhelming. While I understand that some people may enjoy the area for its historical significance and annual events, it did not resonate with me as a destination I would be eager to return to.

Parking fees are steep. You can drive on this beach. Lots of people.

I love the warm orange color of the sand here. It’s ’s such a unique sight! One of the coolest things about Daytona Beach is that you can actually drive and park right on the beach if you have four-wheel drive. The fee is around $30–33, but if you have a disabled parking pass, it’s free. Otherwise, there’s street or lot parking nearby. Bathrooms are available, though they could use a bit more frequent cleaning. You can rent chairs and umbrellas, which is great if you want to relax without lugging your own gear. There’s also a food truck/ice cream vendor right on the beach if you don’t bring snacks. The best part for me? The waves, they’re absolutely perfect for relaxing, playing, or just watching roll in. Daytona Beach truly earns its title as “The World’s Most Famous Beach”!

Most definitely doesn’t live up to the hype. To me, it seemed very underwhelming. I guess if you were here to see the races it would be more impressive maybe? I don’t know, I just don’t get it.

Just got back from Daytona Beach, Florida, and I gotta say, it was a total blast, bro! The "World's Most Famous Beach" title is legit, the energy is high, and the vibes are exactly what a Chad from Charlie's Angels needs. The main attraction is definitely that wide stretch of hard-packed sand and the warm Atlantic waves. We're talking golden sand, perfect for soaking up the sun and making some epic memories. It's clean, easy to access, and the beach patrol keeps an eye on things, so you feel safe while you're catching those rays. The fact that you can drive right onto the beach is a game-changer – super convenient and a unique experience you won't forget. The views of the sunrise and sunset over the water are absolutely magical, no joke. When I wasn't feeling the laid-back beach life, I hit up the action. The Daytona Beach Boardwalk and Pier offer classic fun, with shops, arcades, and plenty of places to grab some food. The food at Joe's Crab Shack was a whole experience in itself, with a "Shark Attack" drink that was a total show. Daytona has a unique mix of vibrant and laid-back, family-friendly yet exciting, making it the perfect spot for anyone looking for a sweet getaway. Highly recommend this slice of paradise to anyone who wants to have a blast! I'll be back, no question.

Been coming here for 40 plus yrs. Still amazed at the size of this beach. It's never crowded, anytime of the day. It's a gradual walk into the water, no drop off. Perfect for kids. Lots of places to stay and eat. The pier is so much fun on a Saturday night. You can't beat this place!

Daytona beach really surprised me! I loooved getting to spend time in the water and just relaxing. Very chill and family vibes. The sand is white and the water is clear enough for me. I would definitely go again and visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Must-See Attraction in Florida! The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine was one of our top must-see attractions during our summer trip to Florida, and it did not disappoint! I work with an individual with a disability, and having accompanied the individual, we were both able to get in free—an unexpected and much-appreciated blessing. Before visiting, I called ahead and the staff were incredibly pleasant and helpful in answering all of my questions. Check-in was smooth and easy, though the area right outside the entrance was a bit crowded. Once inside, it was fascinating to see the variety of alligators and other wildlife. There are some quieter areas away from the crowds where you can truly appreciate the natural beauty and watch the alligators in their element. One memorable moment was walking across a bridge when the alligators suddenly let out a loud growl—we didn’t make it all the way across, but it was definitely a unique experience! Now, fair warning: it does smell in quite a few areas, which is to be expected with so many animals and the heat. Just be prepared for that—it’s part of the experience. It was extremely hot the day we went, but thankfully there was an air-conditioned area and a shaded spot (the theater) to cool off. For the adventurous, there’s even a zip line that goes right over the alligators—such a cool feature! Overall, it was a fantastic experience and definitely one for the memory books. Highly recommend!

One of the best zoos we have ever been to ever. Never seen so many crocodilians in one day. There are 26 species in the world and this place HAS THEM ALL!! It was in the upper 80’s and sunny when we were there, but it was never hot at all because the whole place has big trees that provided shade everywhere. My favorite area was the swamp walk way. I felt like I was walking through the Everglades. All the enclosures were big, beautiful, and well maintained. Lots of other animals also like giant tortoises, turtles, birds, snakes, sloths, and lemurs. No bad odor anywhere. We went on a weekday, and there weren’t too many people at all. Would go back again next time we’re in St Augustine.

Highly recommend! A fantastic park featuring education, safety and protection of alligators, crocodiles, snakes and lizards. We loved the displays, presentations and personal interactions with the reptiles and birds. The staff was very engaging and friendly and made us feel safe while interacting with the wildlife. Maximo must be the hugest crocodile on the planet! Incredible! 5+ stars in all aspects of this park - truly a treasure on the First Coast of Florida. Thank you - we will be back!

We had a blast on the ropes /zipline course. Staff friendly and safety oriented. Do NOT do the red course if you are not somewhat fit or have mobility issues. Enjoyed the park. They have a 10% veteran/military discount. Relatively cheap beer and buying a souvenir cup gets you FREE soda refills. All staff very friendly. Food is good, 4 pc chicken strip meal could feed a mom and kid. I am a FL native so pretty used to gators but man, they have some big fat boys here.

This place would be amazing for children. When we went we did not have kids and we still had fun. The alligators make a loud sound. It’s like, growling? I don’t know how to describe. The path is stroller friendly. It is very unique to see this many alligators. I would go back here, kid free or with kids it’s a great time.

One of the cooler zoos I’ve visited in a long time. It was a HOT day so I’m glad I brought a cold bottle of water 🥵. They have so many cool sections about all the different alligators. I had no idea there were so many species and how big they actually could get. As you walk by, there are other wildlife like birds and tortoise. Very family friendly and also good for a solo traveler like me. I found the indoor exhibit about Gomek was really cool and informative. They had short shows that were scheduled at different times like alligator feeding or an educational one about reptiles. At the end there is a huge gift shop to check out. Would recommend this as a tourist stop if you’re in the area!

Really enjoyed our visit to see a large varieties of alligators / crocodiles, birds, turtles, snakes and dragons. Witnessed an alligator and vulture feeding, which was amazing. Visited the Kids Zone to eat lunch and take a playground break.

Cool place to check out if you’re in the area. The lighthouse was the main attraction of course and it has signs to let you know how far up and how much further you have left as you climbed it. Once you get to the top the views and breeze are nice. The stairs are very narrow so you have to stop and wait or let people go by sometimes. But it’s not a bad hike at all! The rest of the sites are self guided and in old buildings but are maintained. Most have AC which is where you found the most people with it being so hot. There’s plenty of information and artifacts in each part you entered. Unless you’re stopping to read everything, the tour goes by pretty quickly. I highly suggest bringing water with you if you’re going during the summer months.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum is an absolute must-visit. The property is full of rich history, and the view from the top of the lighthouse is truly breathtaking. While the climb does involve a lot of steps, it is well worth the effort. Beyond the lighthouse itself, there’s so much to explore—from learning how boats were built to seeing how recovered artifacts are carefully cleaned and preserved. This site offers a wonderful mix of history, hands-on learning, and stunning scenery. Definitely worth a stop when visiting St. Augustine.

My wife and I went to the special event at the top of the beautiful historic lighthouse. The event is held once a month to watch the sunset and the full Moon rise. We were rewarded with a beautiful sunset and the full moon rise over the ocean was awesome. Our experience was seriously diminished by the male volunteer that was supposed to be pouring champagne for all the guests but seemed totally focused in looking after two younger women whose glass were always full while we had to ask several times for a second half glass. The volunteer attitude changed a five star experience to barely a three stars. In future please have the volunteer treat all guests equally. At the opposite end we wish to commend Tammy as very pleasant and helpful with information about the lighthouse and in passing food around.

The set up is serene. Before even walking into the museum you're greeted immediately and all questions answered. Then you can walk leisurely through out. 218 steps in the lighthouse. Then exhibits , even little hiking trails around made it a full immersive experience. It's honestly a romantic, scientific and historical experience. Worth it.

My first time at a lighthouse and it did not disappoint. So much history! The view from the top is stunning. It will take 219 steps to see it. The discount being offered on the front porch is worth it, if you plan on purchasing merchandise. The staff is friendly and helpful. Thank you.

This is a beautiful place set back in some trees, not far from water. There's plenty of history to learn and over 200 steps to reach the top, which has some beautiful views of the area. This is a worthwhile place to explore. The staff are very friendly and eager to answer questions or help.

This is a very well maintained lighthouse and facilities. Allowing self guided tours to the top was a nice feature. Nature trails, restored light keepers house, Coast Guard barracks, and other buildings brings a lot of historical facts to life. The ship wreck and military displays were great too. One of the best lighthouse visits I've had. Spent over two hours here.

Stopped here on our way through town. Good decision to stop. What a well put together memorial. The grounds are kept up so beautifully. Everybody, from the ticket booth rep to the museum host, was super nice. LOTS to read if you're into that.

This is truly a visceral experience. I suspect if you've been in naval warfare the sounds will trigger some difficult memories. Where you see the headphone zone signs, that's where you will want to be prepared. Though the signs are intentionally for sensory disabilities, it would be good to have some noise-canceling headphones for PTSD, too. Overall, though, easily the best memorial there is. The experience is immersive, and you can feel the weight of that day on your shoulders. I'll never know what that was like then, and my family that was alive then is no longer around, so I can't follow up and ask the tough questions. But, I think I felt some of it there. Well done. The panorama photo shows the entirey of the list of names. The left HALF is all U.S. casualties. The right have is the rest of the Allies.

Breathtaking memorial to the great generation from WW2 who fought at D-Day. Words and pictures do not do this amazing place justice. The volunteer guides do an incredible job bringing the history of D-Day alive. Plan to spend around two hours at the site to take a tour and explore the exhibits and gift shop.

Excellent Memorial! The tour was fantastic and our guide was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the park. He was also a wonderful story teller and I feel like I learned a lot while I was there. He also took plenty of time to answer questions at the different stops on the tour!

When you go make sure that you take the free tour. It is so interesting and informative. My WWII history buff husband found out things he didn't know. This is something everyone should experience. This is a privately funded memorial with no government involvement so they run on solely on people who visit and donations. **Side note if you are on a tour with a group of adults who you don't know and you have your kiddos with you, be respectful of the rest of the people on the tour and keep them in check. Our tour had 10 adults 2 kids and 1 kid about 10 years old interrupted about 15 photographs, I was trying to take(trust me you will want to take tons of pictures) and was very distracting from what the tour guide was saying.**

Due to the heat, I was not able to take a guided tour, but the printed materials do a good job of explaining the memorial. This is a fitting tribute to the men that planned and executed D-Day. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

A very fun memorial to visit. Plenty to do and see with all the different monuments. A really good gift shop that has mementos related to D-Day. Expect to spend at least an hour visiting and reading all the different exhibits.

A nice place to take a break from driving, but if you aren't interested in buying art pieces, it might not be for you. There were plenty of nice things to look at and some local food items (think jams and jellies). There were a few t-shirts and souvenir items, and a place to get some snacks and sit. If you're looking for local hand-crafted pieces, this is the place.

The facility is beautiful with wonderful products made in West Virginia. They also have one of the tourist swings you can take photos at. I took pictures of some stuff I liked. I no where near captured everything.

This has been a tourist attraction in wv off of I-77 for as long as I can remember. I’ve stopped here many times over the years and love to look at all the beautiful artistic creations from the people of my awesome state. Today I stopped here while I’m on a mission to find all the “almost heaven” swings with my husband. The building and grounds are beautiful and unique.

Wife and I have been here on a few occasions. A must see destination for local artistry of West Virginia, Virginia. Also, they allow campers and they have water on site only for RV freshwater holding tanks. A nice quiet place to stop for the day or evening and tour to see all of the artist work.

While visiting Beckley WVA my wife and I stopped by the Tamarack Marketplace to see what it was all about. This was our first time at the Marketplace and I haven't seen anything like this out west where we live so, it was a new experience for us. The marketplace was very impressive inside and out with so many beautiful things and an array of items including food, wine, glassware, pottery, quality woodworks, quilts, jewelry, restaurants and coffee. There is something here for everyone no matter the occasion and taste you'll find it at the Marketplace. It is a great place to visit. The service, the employees and the food was great.

Loved the different varieties of local art and craftsmanship. The atmosphere was nice really easy to walk around and want everything they had to offer. We only got coffee but it was fresh and good too.

Really great place to stop by if you are passing through. All items are created by local artisans. You can create your own glass blown ornaments or atch the process being done. I was really impresed by this chainsaw made completoit of wood...even the chain!

Wonderful ride through the gorge. Well worth the 45 minutes that I cludes a few stops to grap pictures. Scan the QR code to listen to the audio file of history as you take the ride through beauty and history. The rangers at the welcome center was awesome!

We came for bridge day and it was spectacular! They close the bridge and catapult adventurous spirits straight into the New River below. Over 300 base jumpers from all over the world put on their packs and parachute down. It’s a sight to see! Lots of great vendors, food and events at during that weekend. We attended the taste of bridge day the evening before at the adventures on the gorge and it was awesome!

One of the most iconic views in West Virginia. Seeing the bridge in person is completely different from photos, it stretches across the gorge like it’s floating, and the scale doesn’t fully hit you until you’re standing at the overlook looking out across miles of mountains. The bridge itself is one of the longest single-arch steel bridges in the world and also one of the highest in the U.S. It sits almost 900 feet above the river. The engineering alone is impressive, but the landscape around it is what really makes it special. The mountains roll in layers, and in the fall the colors are stunning reds, oranges, golds, and deep greens all stacked into the valley. There are several great viewing spots, but the Canyon Rim Visitor Center overlook and Long Point Overlook give the best angles. Long Point especially feels unreal, you’re right across from the bridge, eye-level with it. If you visit in October during Bridge Day, people BASE jump and rappel directly off the bridge, it turns into a full festival. Whether you’re hiking, just passing through, or stopping for photos, the New River Gorge Bridge is a must-see. Beautiful, massive, peaceful, and unforgettable.

Amazing place to visit. If you love history and nature at the same time, one of the best place to see in USA 🇺🇸❤️. 🏞️📍SUMMER 2024 The completion of the New River Gorge Bridge on October 22, 1977 solved a travel challenge. The bridge turned a 40-minute drive into less than a minute. It removed the need to navigate down narrow mountain roads across an ancient river. When it comes to road construction, mountains do pose a challenge. At New River Gorge, the challenge transformed into a work of structural art. The New River Gorge Bridge is the longest steel span in the western hemisphere. It is also the third highest bridge in the United States. The New River Gorge Bridge is one of the most photographed places in West Virginia. In 2006, the U.S. Mint chose the bridge to represent West Virginia on the state commemorative quarter. In 2013, the National Park Service listed the New River Gorge Bridge in the National Register of Historic Places. This listing signifies the importance of the bridge as a historic resource.

Beautiful fall colors and bridge view was outstanding! We were there on a Thursday before Bridge day on Saturday. Board walk was easy accessible from Visitors Center. Steps are 175 if you decide to walk all the way to the bottom. We only went about half way and did fine with an amazing view anyway. You can also drive around to the bottom

Went mid October 2025. This was a nice stop, a full service welcome center with bathrooms. It was very clean. However, it was also very crowded at this location, even after the welcome center closed. The bathrooms are locked inside the welcome center, making it impossible to go after 5pm. It is a short walk to the view of the bridge then some steps down to see a better view. Maybe a 5-10 minute stop total. This place is partly dog friendly. You can bring your dog to see the bridge. But for bridge day dogs are not welcome. Which is wild and quite frankly very sad considering it is quite literally an outdoor event. That made us disappointed and we did not go to bride day because of that. I would go back to see the view if I was in the area. No hiking or anything else exciting around there. But stunning views it was my second time here.

An iconic piece of architecture and featured on the West Virginia version of the state series quarters, this is the third tallest bridge in the US. While you can't really appreciate its height from the 4-lane highway that crosses it due to the high concrete barriers, seeing it from the Canyon Rim Visitor Center or from down below it is pretty impressive. Worth your time to visit, as the area is beautiful, especially during Fall like it was when we were there over the last week.

I recently took the paranormal tour at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tour was incredibly informative, diving into the asylum’s haunting history with fascinating details about its past patients and eerie events. Our guide was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and great at balancing spooky stories with historical facts, making the atmosphere both thrilling and respectful. The tour itself was a blast, blending creepy vibes with just the right amount of fun, as we explored the asylum’s shadowy halls and learned about its paranormal activity. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this tour is a must-do for its unique mix of history and chills. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Took my 15YO daughter on a day trip and she loved it. We took the 90 daytime paranormal tour. It covers all 4 floors and lots of information. Our guide (Kaylee) was wonderful. She new the historical side of the building along with paranormal facts. It's highly recommended anyone go see it. The only cautionary thing to be said it's cold in the winter, we went in the end of October on a 50° day and it was pretty chill in the building and I can only imagine it being hot in the summer. It's not climate controlled do dress accordingly and hydrate if you will be going in the summer.

My son and I visited on 11/2/25. We did the 4 floor tour with the medical center. Our guide (who I forgot her name but will add a pic to give her credit) was very informative and knowledgeable. I asked a lot of questions and she answered them all. Some of the stories were very frightening and some heartbreaking. It’s sad to think about what a lot of people went thru here. But it is nice to be able to visit and learn the history of this place. I’ve been wanting to visit for years and finally got the chance to. I was not disappointed! And this place is massive too! You really have no idea until you get inside. We loved it so much that we added the criminally insane tour after. We plan on coming back and touring some parts we missed. It’s very cold in the buildings so dress accordingly. And the price of these tours are extremely fair considering that all the money goes into the upkeep and restoration of this facility. Thank you for an amazing adventure! We’ll be back for sure!

My husband and I went on the 4th floor tour and were very impressed! Our tour guide, John, was excellent! He spoke loudly and clearly, was very knowledgeable, and took plenty of time to answer all of our questions. The tour covered a good portion of the facility, and we had ample time to look around and take photos. Overall, it was a great experience and highly recommended! Please dress warmly if you visit during the cooler months. The tours are on the hour so we didn't have to wait long. We went on a Saturday and had 17 people in our tour.

I took a paranormal tour at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Kaylee, was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and really brought the history and stories to life. Even on the day tour we experienced some activity, which made it even more thrilling. The atmosphere of the building is incredibly creepy in the best way possible — exactly what I was hoping for from such a historic and haunted location. Whether you’re into history, the paranormal, or just want a spine-tingling adventure, this place delivers. Highly recommend taking a tour here!

Went on 3 tours. Nick, John and Kayley were extremely kind, knowledgeable about their tours and answered questions with ease. The building was clean, both bathrooms were clean and they welcomed both of our service dogs in with no problems. This location is animal friendly anyways which makes it much easier. The history is worth the money in itself. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful! I give it all 5 stars!!

We did the historical tour (Ashley was a phenomenal guide) and it was fascinating. The architecture, the stories, and the history packed into those walls are incredible. While everything was great, the cherry on top was meeting Pickle the opossum in the gift shop. He completely stole my heart. 💜

Falls were nice. Water level in the river was low due to low rain this summer. Well maintained path and stairs to access the falls. The Lodge was clean and the staff was friendly. Smokehouse restaurant was adequate. Park is beautiful with well maintained roads. Stayed 3 days so was able to walk several trails. Well marked trails that are challenging for people who enjoy hiking.

This stop was our two-day “play and reset” window between Acadia NP and New River Gorge NP — a quiet breather in the beautiful WV mountains. We stayed at the lodge and had breakfast there both mornings, mostly because options nearby are… well, nonexistent. Luckily the buffet was generous, the food was decent enough to fuel the day, and the views helped everything go down a little easier. Service, however, could definitely benefit from a hospitality tune-up — a smile and a bit of warmth go a long way before coffee! That said, the park itself is lovely. We enjoyed peaceful trails surrounded by lush forest, and the falls are truly worth the trip — dramatic and grounding. I got in a few good hikes, while my husband happily took in the waterfall views from the accessible paths, which are thoughtfully laid out and easy to navigate. In short: Beautiful park ✔️ Scenic lodge views ✔️ Buffet that gets the job done ✔️ Service that could caffeinate their cheerfulness ✔️😉 Perfect little nature pause before hitting our next national park. 🌲💧✨

This is a beautiful park! We went to the Blackwater Falls overlook. It is handicapped accessible and a beautiful view of the falls. If you can do steps, there are 2 trails to the falls, one has 1/3 fewer steps than the other. The friendly staff in the visitor center are more than helpful and can tell you where each begins. We ran out of time, so that was all we could there.

We walked the River Road Trail, which takes you from the town of Davis straight to Blackwater Falls. Across the trail, there is a ton of beautiful scenery, and streams. We’ve been visiting this state park for several years and didn’t know about this trail, I would recommend checking it out!

A beautiful park with fantastic views! There are various hiking trails that are not overly strenuous but high reward on the scenery, as well as some accessible trails too

This place is absolutely gorgeous! We decided to take our time on the way back from our honeymoon and stopped here to see the falls and state park, we were blown away by how beautiful it was, how up-kept the roads and trails were, and of course how amazing the falls were! It was so worth going out of the way for and we are so happy to have experienced this beautiful state!

Great place to visit from Richmond, DC and nearby areas. The trails are amazing with beautiful views. There is like 100 steps down to the falls which is easy hike and it’s a 60 foot water falls. There are also many campgrounds which you can book.

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.

Overall, we liked it. We stayed in the Byrd Wing in the Lodge and it was very dated. The toilet was so close to the bath tub and carpet in the bathroom areas aren't the most sanitary. Super confusing layout and honestly, not very kid friendly. No kids menus at any of the restaurants or highchairs/kids cups. We went down to the lake for the Fall Nights and beware there is zero lightening on the walking path down. We used our phone flashlights. Cars do fly around so be very alert! This place is nice for adults, kids I would take elsewhere next time. Also, no fridge or microwaves in rooms. Ice machines and most vending machines did not work properly. Staff was very friendly though! I think the property just needs a good upkeep/overhaul.

First time at Oglebay and won't be my last. Great, very spacious room with inside and outside access which I love. Plenty of amenities and super friendly staff. The fig and pig pizza at Skyline was worth the stay alone but the staff in the bar were excellent. Kyasia made killer old fashioneds and Tyler and Emmy kept things lively. Definitely will return.

Chalets are musty, no microwave, no frig, have to go into lodge and walk down long halls to just get ice. Front desk would not accommodate and switch rooms. Night staff was helpful. Housekeepers were very sweet & helpful. Food was delicious from Skyline especially the fish.

I called their customer service for a future booking for my big family of 10. Call customer service for some information on the five connecting room not only was she Super rude but also hung up on me when I tried to clear a question. I will definitely be taking my $7000 vaction somewhere else. I see why you have 3 star customer service is everything.

The staff is friendly BUT. There where bed bugs in the cabin. It was a whole scramble on their side which ended with improper treatment. They treated the cabin but the bed bugs were back the next night. We did not get to use the room all day so we had to eat at their restaurant which is incredibly overpriced, any there are not many free activities onsite. We got 50% of the cost comped, but that doesn't cover the fact that we now have to deal with the "did we bring them back" issue and we couldn't eat the food we bought to save money. They initially said we would be comped 100% of the price of the room but then on check out there was all of a sudden protocol and because we did not move to the smaller cabin that did not fit our needs, we only got a 50% comp. This trade off was by no means communicated to us at any point until check out. The onsite coordinators for the wedding we were there to attended also barely coordinated, and its internal resources. -Added note on 10/23/2025 to respond to the businesses comment. It was a cabin reservation for a group. Reservation was under my friend. He has only received "Sorry that was your experience" platitudes. It is very clear that bed bugs are expected by management.

Had a great anniversary. Room was spacious and everything was nice. They even gave my hubby and me a complimentary bottle of wine for our 27 th anniversary. Will be back again!

My review is about the Oglebay website. It is so outdated. It is not easy to navigate. It does not provide photos of each room in the cottage or home you are renting. People would like to see what they are paying for and not have any surprises when they get there. Your website is not mobile friendly. My recommendation is to reach out to your website company 'FINE' and come into this century.

Big thanks to those people who built this memorial place for those innocent victims.. I found myself so emotional and tears rolling down my eyes at the visitor center, learning more of what happened, listening to the audio recordings, seeing those found debris, and pictures of the victims and their information on that one unforgettable day.. They are the bravest heroes of the USA along with the others who helped 9/11 survivors... Don't ever forget them! 40 passengers and UA crew members + 1 unborn baby of the Flight 93. I honor them and may they rest in peace.. The Tower of Voices has a very beautiful structure. It wasn't windy that day, but I heard about 3 small chimes and it made me really happy and emotional. You can just even feel their presence there. Also a nice place to reflect and pray for them.. Thank you also to the 2 park staff who had a small talk with some people explaining more of what happened. They are very knowledgeable and nice. We also bought some souvenirs to help the park as well. Whenever you get the chance, please visit this memorial.

We were humbled by the care and attention to details that went into creating this monument to those to gave their lives to save others. This solemn graveyard speaks for those who met their fate on the clear September morning in the choice of materials and their arrangement and the surrounding gardens make for a peaceful respite. It was well worth the drive and an unforgettable experience.

An actual memorial that commemorates this dark time. It’s heavy but beautiful and heart wrenching. Please remember this is a place where our brave patriots lost their lives. This is hallowed ground and needs to be paid proper respect. Let’s Roll is forever etched in my heart.

Great memorial. Class of teenagers on school field trip while we were there. The teacher had them break up in groups and select a name off the memorial wall. They then had to look them up and tell the others about that person. Loved that the teacher made them see the names as real people. Cuddos to him! Have to admit we kind of followed them around. Learned things I didn't know.

Really enjoy visiting this memorial. They did an absolutely amazing job and made it non commercialized. We enjoyed every part of the exhibits. My only complaint is the fact that the sidewalks appear to be significantly damaged from snow removal. The wind chimes you mostly hear the clanking from the metal and not the tones. Will visit again.

Visited the Flight 93 National Memorial on a Wednesday in October—turns out the only thing open during a government shutdown is the wind! 🥶💨🧊 We braved the freezing temps and wind tunnel conditions to pay our respects at this powerful place. Couldn’t go inside the Visitor Center (thanks, shutdown 🙃🚪🔒), but we still saw the Tower of Voices (those wind chimes were working overtime! 🎶🌬️), the Wall of Names—each one a reminder of bravery and sacrifice 🕊️🙏—and the impact site marked by a giant boulder 🪨. Bonus: some local deer were hanging out, probably judging our choice of outerwear. 🦌🦌🧥 Shutdown or not, it was a moving experience. If you go, bring layers and your best windproof hat! 🧣🧤🧢 #Flight93 #Shanksville #WindyWithAChanceOfDeer

An amazing place to visit then pay your respects. I've never left for the dry eye. Take time to take in this amazing place couple things to keep in mind. If and when the president is coming to visit this location, the security is outstanding. Which means that you cannot get down to the lower section and the walk is locked. And normally there in the morning portion. So if you go around lunch time the parking is easier and you can take in everything without having a security issue. But if you are there when he is there, the tribute to the families is absolutely beautiful. Don't look at this as a vacation spot, or place to check off a bucket list. Look at this a place to thank God for the gifts that you have, the family is that you love that still with us. Antique pay respect to those who did lose their loved ones.

I enjoyed this funicular side trip. The view at the top was nicest part of the trek. Crossing the street from the parking lot felt like a game of Frogger. Up top there’s a few touristy things to see, but not much. I’m biased because I’m comparing this with the many I’ve done in the EU. Overall it was a nice side adventure, but not much to write home about.

Ticket prices r great and it’s a really cool experience. It’s old time feel to it which is cool it’s like u stepped back in time which I always love that feeling. The only reason it’s 4 stars is because when we went their was a group of rowdy teens playing around in the car and shaking it the whole way up the hill making it a little scary to say the least and the staff did nothing about it. But we will definitely be returning again

I didn't enjoy my visit for several reasons: 1. You have to pay for parking, which costs $5 for 2 hours. 2. I came with my wife and kids (13, 10, and a baby in a stroller). It was very hot, and we all felt tired. We had to wait in a long line to buy tickets, and they only accept exact cash. 3. The staff were rude and unhelpful, with one lady shouting instructions through a microphone. 4. The gift shop at the top was small and sold trivial items. This place needs updating. They should accept credit card payments, have a website for advance ticket purchases, and add air conditioning—it was unbearably hot.

Make sure you have exact change in cash! $2.50 each way so $5 per person. No change or credit cards here. Great view of Pittsburgh and some cool spots to check out at the top of Mt Washington

Ride the cable car At Duquesne Incline and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh So whenever you see pictures of Pittsburgh, I am sure you are looking it downtown with and cable car in the foreground. it is easily one of the best things to do in Pittsburgh. From the cars, there are great views out over the city. Once used to transport workers all the way back since the 1800s. they are still using two original 1877 cable cars, the Duquesne Incline is a working museum, with the upper station providing photos and displays on the history of the incline. at the top, you can also see the working mechanism, wheel, and all. I don't know if it is the norm, but there was a guide in our cabin and he gave a brief idea about incline history, and how it come into the picture. Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 and still delights residents and visitors with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars Parking: $10 and that's valid for 24 hours. Parking is more expensive than tickets which are just $5. You don't pay at the counter, you put the exact amount in a cylindrical box (nobody checks what you are putting in the container). a counter lady comes in a while and shoves it with a stick. i have never seen a system like this. if you want to experience a slice of the city’s long history, go for it.

Rode the incline up and down as part of an excellent sightseeing tour offered by Molly's Trolleys. There is a panoramic view at the top of Pittsburgh from the north side. The ride is in a no-frills vintage car and there are antique photos in the waiting area.

The ride is worth the wait. The view up top is good, but the ride from the from the back of the car is really unique. It is shaky and is not smooth, which made it a fun ride.

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.

PNC Park is hands down one of the best ballparks in the country! Getting there is incredibly easy – it’s just a short walk from downtown Pittsburgh, and the area around the stadium is very walkable. Entry into the park was smooth and hassle-free, which made the whole experience even better. The ballpark itself is beautiful with plenty of concessions available throughout. As expected at a major league park, food and drinks are on the pricey side, but the variety of options makes it worth it. The views are absolutely spectacular – you get an amazing backdrop of downtown Pittsburgh and the river, which adds so much to the game-day atmosphere. Even if your seats aren’t the best, PNC Park has plenty of areas to move around and take in different perspectives of the game. From the outfield concourses to open standing areas, every angle seems to offer a great view. Overall, the combination of easy access, great amenities, and one-of-a-kind views make PNC Park a must-visit for any baseball fan or visitor to Pittsburgh.

The stadium has good history, atmosphere. Easy to walk to from nearby hotels. Very clean, staff friendly and accommodating. This was the only stadium that the usher wiped down my seat so far. We've been to several. Nice area, worth the trip. It was kind of confusing to walk around inside the stadium to check it out. Before we sat in our seats.

This is my favorite ball park. We travel the country just to see baseball stadiums. This is a great place. The view... the people. MLB has to do a better job with the food but the prices are below average and if you go when the gates open drinks were on happy hour prices. The ushers were great. This is the one ballpark that you want to sit higher up on the first base line so you have a great view. Normally I like to sit as close as I can to the field but the view is worth the sacrifice and the tickets are way cheaper. Take in as many games as you can while you're there.

Calling yourself the Best Ballpark in America takes some big ones. Being an SF Giants fan, I might have to disagree. I attended a Sunday afternoon game here, was a rather warm day, but my seats were soon in the shade and I was able to enjoy the rest of the game. The views are quite stunning, it’s a perfectly situated ballpark. My only complaint was that the concessions weren’t as special as the park.

The best baseball views in the country. The concourses are open and have lots of food and drinks available. Large bathrooms, easy to find seating. The exterior has lots of foor and bar options and the walk over the Clemente bridge makes for a great outing.

Best ballpark in the world with the best view of Pittsburgh! The employees are all very friendly- everyone at security, to the elevator operators or the vendors all make you feel immediately welcomed and seem very proud to work there. Be prepared to pay a lot for parking which is anywhere from $25-$40 on game day. The lots fill up quickly, so be prepared for a walk from the parking lots or garages surrounding the stadium. Food prices are also outrageous but there’s a lot of choices. I ordered the a slice of “world-famous” Caliente pizza which was huge and equivalent to two slices and cost $12 a slice. It was very good and also very greasy! All in all, if you’re a baseball fan, add this ballpark on your list to visit…you won’t be disappointed!

This is a beautiful park. It's clean and the staff were all friendly. Even the fans were kind and helpful. The surrounding area is nice and felt safe both before and after the game. There are a lot of great eateries and attractions around the stadium. The whole package makes for a great experience.

Excellent experience even for the casual fan. The exhibits on the history of football and thr NFL were very well done. Pricey admissions, but worth it. Very little parking by 11:30 am. Buy your tickets online so you don't have to wait to get them at the ticket counter. Give yourself 2 hours for a pretty thorough walk through. More if you will read all the descriptions and watch all the videos.

The third time I have visited this over the course of many years, and one thing I can tell you that this Hall of Fame is organized and easy to go through. Just totally unbelievable all the facts and figures and stats that this place has. I hear they're going to be expanding again looks like I'll have to do another visit and then not too distant future. Just too much to talk about here so my suggestion is just go for a visit. They do give veteran discounts. Also I'm told that Tuesday is the best day to go as is the lightest day and tickets are half price.

Crossed this 9ff my Bucket List on 10.12.2025. Very comprehensive exits and displays regarding the history of football. The Player Bust and Super Bowls Rings sections are Outstanding, and the displays of footballs, helmets, cleats, jerseys, and other items from specific players and teams are Awesome. I was fortunate to meet Green Bay Psckers Legend Dave Robinson during my visit. Highly Recommend to all football fans and to anyone traveling through Canton, Ohio

If you’re in to football this is a neat spot to visit. Lots of NFL history here. Tickets are about $45 each. Lots to see and almost all indoors. Friendly staff. Clean and well put together exhibits.

My husband is NOT a football fan or even a sports fan but he even had fun here. It was so nice. It seemed as though everywhere we looked there was something special to see. Even the most knowledgeable football fans can learn something new. We stopped at the cafe and to our surprise it was not pricey at all. I will definitely be back.

Great Senior discount on Tuesday! Not a huge fan of football but I absolutely loved learning more about it. The history really amazed me. So dis the GORGEOUS championship Superbowl rings. A must see. Interactive " you be the referee" make the call exhibit was super fun. Seeing all those heads of guys inducted into the Hall of Fame was humbling. So much to see so allow the full day to enjoy. I would definitely plan a second trip there. Bring a few fans with you!

The museum was amazing! The volunteer staff were so engaging and helpful. I got to see a live presentation and the hosts were amazing! Loved it, so much history.

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

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.
