There's no question that the Hayes house and adjacent walks on Spiegel Grove are worthy of a visit, especially if you have any affection for presidential history. The grave is humble, despite the grounds and the property being quite grand. But on my arrival, after driving from Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, MI (President Ford's Museum/Library), there seemed to be an air of something and someone always out of place, like the man talking into his phone so loudly, on business, that you could hear him anywhere in the grove, including the grave, even as a young girl walked beside him, constantly ignored. Or the other man walking and pumping rap music through headphones as he passed by the grave a few minutes later. It's a public walking area, so it comes with the territory, but it all fed into a larger observation. Because what most gave me pause was our house tour guide, a young man who was clearly (and surprisingly) knowledgeable of the house, the Hayes family, and a wealth of other historically valuable nuggets, but who never once paused to engage with us, to see if we were keeping up, if we had any questions. He spoke a mile-a-minute and checked his phone every time we moved between rooms, hopping through facts like he was in a race to recite a full Wikipedia page before 5pm. At one point, he mentioned that Hayes was the first to host an egg roll at the White House, so I spoke up to mention that Andrew Johnson had actually been the first to do so informally, to which our guide simply deferred to his own belief, insisted he was right, and moved on, prompting me to leave the tour before the second floor. I've been to 25 presidential graves, countless presidential homes, and always appreciate those who give tours with lots of knowledge, as this young man certainly did, but failure to engage with the people on your tour, maybe benefit from or inquire about the knowledge of others, is an unfortunate flaw in this otherwise peculiar marker of worthy history.

Great experience touring the Hayes home and the grounds. Our guide Bill was very knowledgeable and gave great insight to all of the generations of Hayes. The old photos of each room and the authentic updates...amazing experience. You can spend hours here if you tour the museum also.

This has been on our bucket list for awhile and we finally made it there. Tour of the home was very nice and the guides very knowledgeable and friendly. The museum was informative and shows how far our standards have fallen when comparing Presidencies from then and unfortunately now. Those who truly care about our democracy should visit these sites and become more informed as to what real leaders are and then take those lesson to the ballot box.

Great experience and great place to take your family, and learn the history of the Hayes family.

Today's daytime took us to the quaint town of Fremont and specifically the Hayes Memorial and Library. The Parkside grounds are a lovely setting for Hayes home and Museum. Our guide Garrett was knowledgeable and gracious. A great way to learn about Ohio's contributions to US history.

We have visited all of the US Presidential Libraries and the museum portion was good. However, the Hayes house was very good. Our docent, Sarah, was super! She had a great personality and really knew the details about the house and the people who had lived in it. A few visitors asked questions that Sarah didn't know the answer but she had a tablet that she accessed quickly and supplied the answer. The grounds that surrounds the museum and house are absolutely beautiful and worth the time to walk around them. We spent about an hour and a half to visit the museum, the house tour was about an hour, and to walk around the grounds took about 45 minutes. In our opinion, it's a worth while visit.

This is a great place to visit for anyone in the area, or passing through. The sheer amount of preserved historical items is astonishing. The museum is very well put together. Our tour guide for the residence was very informative, friendly, and kept the tour entertaining. For guests with disabilities, they even restored the elevator so you can see the second floor of the house.

In summer visiting put-in bay feels even better than any of the other very famous places across all of America. Lovely island, beautiful lake all around, awesome food choices in the island and lots of activities.

This site was much more than I expected. I had no idea that it is the 3rd tallest monument in the country. The visitor center is quite nice with lots of displays providing background on Perry and his role in the War of 1812. The grounds are well kept and the monument itself is impressive. Going up to the observation deck was fun and the views of Put in Bay island were stunning. Unfortunately the monument is closing soon for major and long lasting restoration.

The park is small, but well worth the boat ride out to see it. My kids loved the boat ride, taking the elevator up the tower, exploring the top of the monument, and completing the Junior Ranger activity book. The visitor center has a small museum with lots of information and a small store. There was also an art activity happening but we did not attend. It was a fun day, despite the rain.

We really had a great time visiting Perry's Memorial. Half the fun is getting there. Its only open for part of the year because the island of Put-In-Bay basically closes for the winter months. The Island is charming, full of great places to eat. The memorial itself is informative, and the views stunning!

Very cool experience! Well worth the money. Use the free binoculars they offer, you can see so far out with them. I had fun finding and identifying every island I could find.

Had a wonderful time! Will return they offer a lot of information about the tower in the visitors center reenactments on the side lawn. My daughter even got engaged that day! 🫶🏼

Wonderful visitor center(opens 10am, closes 5pm) with lots of information about the war of 1812 and how the monument was built. This is a seasonal National Monument so opens early May and closes end of September. Buy your tickets to go to the top of the monument at the visitor center. Numerous types of park passes can be purchased here too. 2026 and 2027 the monument will be closed for renovation but enjoy the grounds and visitor center will still be open!

Absolutely amazing amusement park! The roller coasters here are top notch and from online info they are consistently ranked top in the country! There are also other fun rides like a 300 foot tall swing ride, a gondola down the middle of the park, and a good amount of little kids rides. There is also an indoor arcade area. Any roller coaster enthusiast will love this park, but families will have fun too! The food is also pretty good, with good portions, and the meal plan is definitely worth it!

I came this year for hallo weekends. The best day of all was actually Halloween. The crowds were low and we were able to get on all the rides very quickly. A few rides like the millennium we are able to get right back on as soon as we got off. The amount of effort put into decorating the park is amazing. It really does give you a spooky fall natural vibe. The haunted houses are a lot of fun too. The best places to eat in my opinion are the pavilion and the barbecue place. The mixed drinks are way too sugary and not enough alcohol though. I recommend finding a bar that serves liquor and doing a shot. We got tequila shots at the one place in the pioneer village area and they were basically like doubles. If your time is limited it's a busy day you may want to invest in a fast pass. On a busy day you can wait up to 2 hours for some of these roller coasters. I also visited in the summer. The water park there is pretty nice. They have some water slides a lazy river and a nice beach. Cedar point is definitely the premier roller coaster destination in North America. I love the top thrill 2, The Magnum, the millennium, and really most of the other roller coasters there. If you're staying over I recommend sawmill Creek It is a resort like atmosphere there and they have two pools and hot tubs. I haven't stayed at hotel breakers but I have stayed at castaway Bay and I don't like those rooms there. They remind me of prison cells. Overall I definitely recommend visiting cedar point if you never have. It is in a great location near the Lake Erie Islands and a lot of other fun things that you can do.

Absolutely one of the best amusement parks in the world without a question. I try to make it here at least once a year and especially during the Halloween season because I love seeing everything all decked out. Waits for rides can get long, so I definitely recommend fast pass, or packing your patience and something to do in line. If the weather is bad there isn't a ton inside to do which is a bummer.

I drove 2.5 hours from Michigan to check out Cedar Point’s Halloweekends, and while the event itself was fun, there were definitely some frustrating parts. Parking was chaotic and poorly managed, and the wait times for rides and haunted houses were painfully long. Fast Lane passes were available, but at over $400 for two people, it felt way too expensive just to skip the lines. That said, the rides were awesome once we finally got on — especially at night with the Halloween atmosphere — and the food was actually really good. The park was decked out in spooky decor, with fog, lights, and scare actors creating a great vibe. Overall, it was a fun experience, but between the long drive, rough parking, and high costs, it wasn’t quite as smooth or worth it as I hoped.

This was back in 2023. The season of sun n fun!! Really enjoyed watching my kids have a supersweet summer. Capped off w a hoot...olliesahoot dont yano. Cedar Point Season passholder. Great package. We live hour and a half away. As many times as we came, over 10 it was amazing each time..from the beach...to the saok city slides. Steelvengance to Raptor, this park really puts it together. First time i remember going...i was about 8yrs old..I was 48 in these. Getting some more years in me too..bet..aint that right Ollie

Brought my kids to this amusement park for our first visit here and it really did not disappoint. We purchased tickets in advance, which can save some money especially if you go through a third-party seller so be sure to check around for deals. You will have to purchase parking, I purchased preferred which does get you a bit closer to the entrance and comes in handy after a tiring day. I added meal and drink packages to our tickets which also came in handy as you could get drinks every 15 minutes and get meals every 90 minutes. If you are visiting during peak season, I would recommend a fast pass upgrade too as it can cut down your wait times significantly although they do sell single ride fast passes in the app, which I would recommend downloading and using during your visit as well. If you are a roller coaster or thrill ride enthusiast this is the park for you. They have over 20 thrill rides and coasters combined. They also do have rides for children or those seeking less of a thrill. There are also other things the park has like arcades, access to the beach, and even more. There were some rides that were down at times during our visit but they came back on soon enough and we were able to ride. The newer and most popular rides did have wait times that were longer than an hour but there were others that you could ride then get back on immediately after the ride. I did not find any wait too long and during your wait they have shade, fans, mist machines, or a combination of those in line. Overall, our visit was great. We were able to ride many of the top rides during our visit and it was not too crowded so wait times seemed minimal. Great park, with great rides and looking forward to returning for another visit in the future.

Such an excellent amusement park. Highly recommended for all. Having visiting several different parks across North America, I can say this is the best of the ones I’ve visited. Compared to Disney and Universal in Orlando, the lines are much shorter and prices are more adorable. Pro tip: get a pass allowing you to refill Coca Cola drinks throughout your time in the park. It saves money compared to buying bottled water or paying for each drink. Also, get an all-day dining pass! Get one for every two or three people in your party, because it allows you to get a meal every 90 minutes. If possible, each person can eat once every one and half hour (or y’all can share). Basically, eat a little and go play and eat a little more with the pass. The rides are great. Roller coasters are not for everyone. While the majority of rides are coasters, there are milder rides. The Ferris wheel is among the mildest. There is a milder coaster, as well. The Cedar Creek Mine Ride roller coaster is one that doesn’t make people go upside down.

While our first burger came out uncooked, our waitress Caysh was incredibly attentive, checking on us frequently and quickly arranging for a new, well-done burger. She was fantastic and her genuine smile and willingness to help made all the difference. The classic strawberry shake was a welcome surprise—it was rich and very tasty. We appreciated the great service and delicious food!

We had an amazing experience at B-Lux Bar and Grill! Erica treated us like VIPs—she went above and beyond and made us feel special, not just like any other customer. The food was delicious, and the shake was on point! Highly recommend this spot and big shoutout to Erica for making our visit even better!

Rating Food: 3/5 (The food was okay, but beautiful preparation of the food!) Service: 5/5 (Attention to detail, served with love!) Atmosphere: 5/5 (Beautiful restaurant and great decor!) If you're looking for a great spot to catch a game in Sandusky, Ohio, B-Lux Grill & Bar is definitely worth checking out! With its vibrant atmosphere, it’s a fantastic place to grab a quick bite or enjoy some time at the bar. I was initially drawn in by the stunning food photos displayed around the resort, and I’m really glad I decided to give it a try! The food presentation was impressive, and while the flavors were just okay, there were some standout items. I particularly enjoyed the unique, made-from-scratch burgers. The wings were decent as well, but the care taken in their preparation was evident. Overall, not a bad experience on the food front! What truly set this visit apart was the service. Our server, Robyne, was exceptional—she genuinely made us feel like family! Every time she came to our table, she brought a smile and positive energy. Robyne guided us through the menu seamlessly, and she even made the kids feel special by celebrating their birthday with them. That kind of attentive service really enhances the dining experience! The atmosphere at B-Lux Grill & Bar was also a highlight. The spacious restaurant boasted attractive decor and a lively vibe that complemented the menu perfectly. It was clean, inviting, and perfectly captured the theme of shakes and burgers. Overall, I had a great experience at B-Lux Grill & Bar! It’s a memorable place to enjoy some good food and have a fun time. I would definitely recommend it!

Went here for my partner and i's anniversary and it was AMAZING! Our server, Mel, was really sweet, made sure to check on us every so often, and fixed anything that was wrong. The food and shakes were delicious!! If we came back to Kalahari we're definitely going back to the restaurant!

This was our first visit to Kalahari, and B-Lux Grill & Bar truly exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely incredible, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were lucky to have Robyne as our server—she was exceptional, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Our 4 year old wanted to order her own shake just to get a cherry, Robyne came out after she took our order with a cup of cherries. Although we encountered an issue unrelated to the restaurant, Robyne quickly brought over her manager, Victor, who handled the situation promptly and professionally. Everything was resolved within minutes. Highly impressed!

Amazing service and food! Emily was very friendly and made sure we had a great experience! Everything was fantastic, I would go here very often if I lived closer.

Steven was great! Service was prompt courteous, and very accommodating for our party of 9. Food was good and as advertised

Point Pelee National Park is a beautiful gem! The park offers stunning landscapes, from the wetlands to the forest trails, and the views at the point are incredible. I especially loved the birdwatching opportunities, as the park is a prime spot for migratory birds. The trails are well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and informative. The visitor center is a nice touch, with helpful exhibits and a small gift shop. Overall, it’s a peaceful and scenic park that’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you love nature and wildlife. Would highly recommend!

As the southernmost point of land in Canada and the country’s smallest national park, this place offers truly unique scenery. You can enjoy the views by hiking or cycling. There’s a free shuttle to the southernmost point, but you can also choose to walk there. If you visit during cooler weather, make sure to dress warmly as the winds can be strong. In the summer, you can fully enjoy the sunshine。

Beautiful, easily accessible national park which should not be missed if you are in southern Ontario. We were there in early October 2024, and there were little to no crowds. There is a free shuttle from the visitor center to the point trailhead, and the hike to the point is very manageable, even for someone like me who walks with a cane. The scenery is quite stunning. Overall, a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our fall break.

The park has lots of things to do, bike, hike, kayak, swim, camp, or just enjoy the beautiful vistas. It is not super large so we were able to do a lot in just one day, the northwest beach was great for relaxing, sandy, no waves and modest incline so it was perfect for throwing a frisbee and a good long swim. Parking, picnic tables and washrooms were all nearby and clean. No reservation is needed for day use, just pay the parking fee (17.50 cad per car) we visited on a Sunday and it was not crowded at all, the only crowded part was the tip, the line for the shuttle that takes you there may get long but it runs every 15-20 minutes so you may wait have to wait on line depending on the time of day or you could spend that time walking there instead.

I love this place❤️❤️. It was amazing to walk on the shore and explore the trails. The parking lot closes to the tip will only operate in off season. So during the summer it’s 30mins walk one way from the parking lot next to visiting centres. It’s really calm and sereine place. As usual spotted some poisonous ivy as well during the walk. The lookout is currently under construction. The one side of the shore is calm and the other side is with huge waves literally feel like an ocean. Must visit. Restroom available at visitor centre.

Amazing experience! We went to the national park on a cold February weekend, and the whole park was like a big ice rink! Despite falling multiple times and having bruises all over our bodies, the experience was so unique! The weather was cold, especially when walking on the tip. The trail was a big piece of ice, and the water was completely frozen. The campsite office staff were super helpful and so nice! How they provided all the information and were so kind in such weather was actually heartwarming! The toilets were spotless despite the mud and snow outside. The oTentiks were super clean as well. We stayed at oTentik number 9, which had a gas-operated heater (God bless the National Park!) and a very good grill. It also had plugs and electricity, which was different from the rest of the oTentiks we stayed in. Overall, such a beautiful experience and stay!

We love this place. So much to do if that's what you're interested in. We brought our own kayaks and launched them at the rental facility. The launch dock is extremely easy to use. Exploring the marsh from the water was amazing. Came face to face (within a meter) with my first beaver. Once you boat to the other side of the marsh you access another beach on lake Erie. There were no other people in sight. It was super sunny and very hot. Wear a hat and lots of sunscreen.

Love this OG market setup, similar to those found in Seattle or Vancouver. Great variety of meats, cheeses, breads, produce and other delicacies. Cozy diner in the corner. Imported foods shop in the other corner. Great biergarten right next door. If I lived here I'd be here weekly.

This place is a great representation of what Cleveland can be. Very diverse and open with many different cultural foods and products to purchase here. The fruit (food) is always fresh. If you're thinking "health," this place has your best options. For it to be so busy, it's always clean. Aye. Shout out to the West Side Market for making Cleveland great again. Haha

Such a cool place with TONS of great options. We love shopping for produce, fresh baked bread, and amazing sweet treats. One of our favorite places to visit when we go to Cleveland.

It is good, and lot of vendors, but for me more hot food options would attract more people, good pastries options and veggies, fruits, washroom available, water fountain by the washroom. Seating area on the top floor for better view of the market and pictures. Great area around. Crafts market across the street. Check for hours. Free parking around, and free entrance.

West Side Market gave me the nostalgic feeling of traditional markets you usually find in the Middle East—lively, full of character, and rich with the smell of fresh produce and spices. The architecture is beautiful, and wandering through the aisles brought back memories of old-style bazaars. I especially loved the variety of pastries and sweets—really delicious! It can get a bit crowded, but that’s part of the charm. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Cleveland.

A small but wonderful local market that’s popular with locals but something I’d recommend to any visitor to Cleveland. Everything from meats and cheeses to fresh produce and wonderful baked goods and ethic treats that’s sure to please most visitors. This is a good spot to spot for breakfast or lunch as well so plan accordingly. If I had my wish I’d love to see some local crafts and more options for seating.

We decided to visit Cleveland for a fun weekend from Pittsburgh. We came upon West side Market!! What a hidden gem!! The varying food was absolutely delicious! It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cleveland. We’d give it 10 stars if we could!! It’s a must!!

We had a great time at the museum! We had no wait going in and tickets are worth the price! There happened to be ALOT of people there on the day we went but that’s kinda part of a museum. We still had enough time to see many exhibits and different memorabilia. Our group all had different favorite parts of the museum, mine personally was the newly constructed Bon Jovi exhibit. It was amazing and had so many items to view. Highly recommend and would love to go again.

When you enter the museum the first exhibit is SNL 50 years of music. It's beautifully done and entertaining. We could spend the entire day just wandering the museum. The snack bar is cold sandwiches, salads and such. It was the only disappointment. There are a couple of nice places nearby for lunch though. Loved the experience. We will definitely return.

We stopped by Cleveland on our way back from our Canada road trip to South Carolina and spent one night in the downtown area. We visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — and even though I’m not a huge fan of rock and roll, it turned out to be such a great experience! We stayed for almost four hours and could’ve stayed even longer if my youngest had been a little older (he was 2 at the time and just turned 3). It’s no secret that I’ve been listening to Bon Jovi songs on repeat all summer, and now my 3-year-old can sing “It’s My Life” pretty well too 😉 Definitely worth a visit!

It's an experience you'll never forget! Every genre, every era, every artist, every record company, and every performance...are on display. They even have a section where you can jam with your friends with provided instruments and amps! This is a place for music enthusiasts from everywhere around the world. Watch special videos, clips, interviews, and concerts...whatever tickles your fancy musically, it's all there! So, if you love music of all types and genres...this is where you need to be! It's not going to take just a couple of hours to experience RRHF, you'll need a whole day to take in and experience every exhibition that this museum has to offer! If you take my advice, attend this museum as close to its opening the doors as possible, because you'll want to be in before the crowd comes in! Their café is pretty good too! Trust me!😉 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏾=4.98(they're currently making addictions!)

Definitely worth your time. Probably the only gift shop I could get lost in like a record store. Had no idea there were interactive sound booths within to play around with and record yourself. Wish there was an exhibit dedicated to more production equipment, although there are quite a few displays of equipment. The Saturday Night Live display is definitely worth your time. Considering the amount of new artists that had their television debut on SNL, it's worth your time to explore it. Looking forward to going back when Wu-Tang Clan is inducted!

What a cool place! So many things I knew, and so many things I learned! There were countless displays of one of a kind items! Pictures really don't do it justice. To see these pieces of music history up close really is unique. Will definitely go again to explore more and see what additions are there!

We planned to stop here as it was on the way home and it was a good way to split up a long car ride. It’s also far enough way that it could be a trip by itself. My wife and I bought tickets the morning of the day we were going to arrive. It was on a Thursday and we estimated how long the drive would take. We made it right on time. We had to pay for parking which is very close by but that is also something you need to estimate time as you pay for your time parked there. When we got there, the whole experience started. It’s suggested to start downstairs (the Saturday Night Live section) and work your way up. We enjoyed the museum immensely and could have immersed ourselves for daysss here. Instead, we planned to spend a couple of hours, which is what we did. This is a must see for anyone who loves music. The exhibits are VERY detailed. As someone who also loves history, this was something I noticed immediately. We are also Swifties and had noted the location of her items (iykyk). We only bought a bunch of magnets and a coffee cup for family gifts as the gift shop seemed a little pricey. The photos we took are one of our favorite free souvenirs. It’s definitely worth it to visit. Just be prepared to pay for the experience.

My fiancé and I stopped by here for the first time and lost. lol It was a decent casino. We’ll definitely be returning to try out their buffet. If you play the slots and earn enough credits at the end it will give you a free parking voucher which helped out a lot. Parking was $60. We had a good time, hopefully next time we win !!

Fun place! Great architecture, lots to do with many different gambling and restaurant options. Clean and safe- go by yourself or with a group.

We went for the buffet. The food and service were very good. He played slots. Being around all the sounds and flashing lights is a bit much for me, but that's on me Overall, it was a good time

Gambling is just not my thing. I lose. I paid $8.50 for a cherry vodka with Sprite and lost $25. My friends made out a lot better than I did so I had an ok time. There weren't too many homeless people down there on the Saturday night when we were there, and I didn't have any problem. I just don't understand the attraction. You put money in a machine and it eats it and you get nothing. Maybe if I won once in awhile it would be different but it isn't.

Went to play the weekly Thursday $10,000 GTD. They moved the room upstairs to the 3rd floor. Dark room with lights so a lot less light than the old poker room but has a cool vibe. Dealers were skilled, professional and cordial. Joe does a great job organizing and running the poker tournaments.

Dead as hell. No atmosphere. Didn't even gamble. Waste of time. This is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen to hit the Cleveland area. Total joke.

jack cleveland casino is something. you walk in and your first thought is wow, this place is gorgeous. everything looking like it’s trying really hard to be vegas fancy. for a second you think you’re in for a good night. then you actually start looking around. people are rude in that way where they don’t even seem to realize it anymore. bumping into you, cutting in lines, snapping at workers like they’re the ones losing money. i watched a guy accidentally pocket someone else’s chips right off a machine while pretending to stretch. and the vibe, it’s sleezy in a way you can feel in your bones. half the people look drunk enough to fall asleep on the slots. arguments breaking out, people yelling at machines, someone cussing out a dealer like it’s all part of the decor. the parking garage? don’t even get me started. it feels like the opening scene of a crime show. weird shadows, groups of people hanging around looking like they aren’t waiting for a car so much as waiting for something to happen. you hurry to your car because slow walking feels like a bad idea. which is the frustrating part. because under all of this, beneath the noise, the drunks, the sketchy behavior, there’s a truly beautiful casino trying to exist. the architecture, the lights, the layout it could be a great place. it really could. but the reality is you spend more time watching your back and your belongings than enjoying anything. a nice place wrapped in an awful experience. looks classy, feels chaotic. not worth the stress just to see the pretty lights.

We went to some harness horse races with friends first and had a good time there. Then we went to the casino. We had a GREAT time. Had fun playing Buffalo Slots, which are my favorite. This facility is always clean. I am so glad the Buffet is finally reopened after the pandemic, we love it. Employees are very friendly, polite & helpful. Overall an excellent place.

Easy in and out. Good sized venue. Only real complaints are the poor choice in colours for lighting(bad photos) and the extremely small, cheap folding chairs that are so uncomfortable. Staff were nice.

The Best Place.. Really had a great time playing there.. wonderful Experience..Best Machines with overwhelming Staff n Crew... Would like to go again n again from India... I also Won there, tat was the Unforgettable Moment... Best Wishes to d Management n the other Guests....🤘🏻👍🏻

We were at the MGM to see the band Chicago. They put on a great concert as always. The positives of the venue were that the room was more intimate compared to an arena, and the acoustics were good. However, the seating was metal foldout chairs linked together that didn't allow for much room with your neighbor. I was expecting better for the high ticket price. And, it's probably marketing, but the entrance into the theater inside the MGM was a long single line thru the casino floor. It was a Sunday night and maybe it's a different atmosphere at other times, but as the line made it thru the colorful and brightly lit machines, all I saw were older men and women slumped at their machines with little evidence that they were enjoying it. I'm not a gambler tho, maybe it's different other times; I'd like to think so anyway.

Good place to gamble on a budget 😜 wish they had the concert in Pittsburgh it would be a little bit easier still had a good time🆒💣😁🤔

We went for a Sebastian Bach show. We ate at the bar/grilled before going. All staff were really nice and overall had a really good time. Food was okay, nothing special but not bad by any means.

George thorogood and Robin Trower rocked the house! The buffet was pretty good and we had fun on the slot machines. Very nice time!

Maybe we were there after storms... I dont know. I felt the sand was dirty looking. We kept getting bit by something in the sand. (maybe sand fleas...?) I did enjoy the sound of the waves hitting the shore. That made me feel like I was at the ocean... The rocks are beautiful on the sand. It does have plenty of parking. In fact, it's a LOT of parking. I wondered why there needed to be so much.

We had a great beach day here. We live near Presque isle but we like to check out all the beaches up and down the coast of Lake Erie. This was about 1.5hrs from Presque Isle. It’s very similar, with picnic areas, beaches and bathhouses/bathrooms. They did not have a concession stand at the beach anymore, but they did have a food truck. We took the walk to the lighthouse. It took longer than expected but we didn’t mind. It was a nice walk with wild areas of native grasses and flowers. Some areas were roped off for nesting birds. You can’t go in the light house and they do not offer tours like ours does in Erie. Would have been nice to walk out on the pier but that was gated off. I watched people jump the fence and go out there but we weren’t going to do that. All in all, I love beach days no matter where they are so I was quite pleased with the park and beaches that day. (Went in August)

The beach was amazing, the bathrooms were clean, fresh, and the shower and foot wash were good. The sand was so nice and the water was very clean, this is one of the most enjoyable ohio beaches ive been too. The sunset was also very pretty and relaxing. Definitely my go to beach from now on.

We hiked out to the lighthouse with our toddlers. There's were lots of spots to take a break in the shade and it was absolutely beautiful! Then we walked back and enjoyed looking for rocks on the beach! It wasn't very crowded even though we visited on a Saturday.

Love this place! Always beautiful , clean beach glorious skys and views all around , people are friendly and quiet. 4/5 ☆ ( 5/5 if there were dogs allowed and there was a bit less beach walk to shore. )

Beautiful, clean. Tons of parking for RV etc. Drive all the way to the right to the last parking lot, walk through dunes and there will be a stone wall where is gorgeous view and can see lighthouse

Nice beach seems to be pretty clean. Not too crowded around 4.I found 2 pieces of clear sea glass. I plan on going back early in the morning and spend a little more time to try to find more. Would recommend for a nice place to relax and enjoy some sun.

The walking/bike riding trail is terrific and runs all the way from the lodge in Geneva on the Lake, past the marina, the beach and park to the campsites. It is shaded and tours through the natural environment surrounding the lake. We've seen turtles and fish along the little streams and alcoves of the lake that it crosses over. There are also beach access paths off of parts of the trail. The beach is a mix of sand and smooth stones. You can find beach glass here often. The sand and rocks are very hot though so wear beach shoes or flip flops that hold up over the stones and I recommend wearing them into the water because the stones can be difficult to navigate over in bare feet. Take a raft to float in the waves. It's not very deep though and we're able to stand with it at our waist and talk or throw a football easily. There are public restrooms at the beach park. Parking is limited at the beach and is a challenge in the afternoon although you could park at the marina and walk from there if you didn't have much to carry. There was a lemonade stand set up to purchase from and picnic areas also.

This is such a great state park. Clearwater Beach is fantastic if you are hunting for sea glass or pretty rocks. It wasn't overly crowded and I was there around 5:30p early October. The blue sky and water complimented the changing leaves beautifully and looked like a never ending painting. Spectacular!

Lovely beach with easy access, picnic tables, restrooms, and changing area. Park was clean, and restrooms were clean. Had a to go lunch here and walked on the beach.

Great place to visit, especially in the off season if you are not into large crowds.

Nice park right on the lake, big parking lot, bathroom, picnic tables and beach access. Biking and walking trails. Free to visit.

What a beautiful park, very clean, there are restrooms and a foot wash station. We only visited the beach and it was nice and clean.

Grabbed a spot on the lake. Site 112 pull thru. Great time watching the boats & waves.

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you should check out the Tipsy Cauldron pop-up! And if you’re not, it’s still totally worth it. The atmosphere is a perfect escape with great music, the coolest decor, and the friendliest staff. The food and drinks have the cutest presentation & they taste even better!

I went to The Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids and it was such a fun, unique experience! This was my first time at a harness race, and I was blown away by the energy, the tradition, and how much there is to take in. From the starting gate to the final race, the day was packed with excitement. I even got to go behind the scenes to see the paddock and ride in the starting car, something I never expected, but will never forget! The whole event was really well-run, with an awesome mix of races, food, music, and a big purple theme that made everything feel festive and fun. If you're looking for something different to do in Pennsylvania that still feels local and exciting, this is it. 10/10 recommend checking it out — I’ll definitely be back next year! 🐎💜

I go there to country line dance. The floor is spacious & seating is abundant. There is a convenient bar by the dance floor! Bring your slick boots though. The floor can be grippy. The DJ plays the latest dances with some older ones mixed in.

Really cool casino with kind of an oldie type style. I really enjoy our time here and playing in the arcade. With the bowling alley would be open until 4AM or something though but it might be under a different company possibly. I included a photo of the arcade which I think is in the perfect place for the casino since it appears to be filling an empty space and right outside the bowling alley which makes sense. I will be returning to enjoy the arcade and possibly bowling next time. Thank you for the memories and laughter we had tonight. 😄🥰

The Tipsy Cauldron Pop-Up Halloween Bar at The Meadows Casino was amazing! Such a fun and unique experience — 10/10! The staff were super nice and so committed to the Harry Potter theme, which made the whole night feel extra magical. The decorations were incredible, the drinks were delicious, and the whole vibe was festive and fun. Definitely recommend checking it out — can’t wait to come back next year

Attended a concert there. Wouldn’t go to another outdoor concert there ever. They ziptie small folding chairs together and you have no space. You can’t even sit properly every other person had to sit forward to fit. And the isles were so close together you couldn’t get in and out. Ticketmaster shows section 7 directly center of stage, however they set it up shifted one section down the whole way so instead of center we were to the right. And section 8 was center. But it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. They allow people to stand in the isle behind section two which is higher than the back sections already. So you literally can not see the stage even standing. And one tv monitor is also set up to low because the people are just blocking it. Perhaps if when they moved the concert from indoors to outdoors if they didn’t change us from being section 2 to 7 without notification it would have been semi enjoyable. Only two stars because the place was clean.

Just like the other Hollywood Casinos in PA, this one was really nice. Stopped here on a Monday night to watch the Phillies in the 2025 playoffs. Great venue to catch a game or place a bet. The TVs are massive and there were multiple games/content on. The bar staff was super friendly and helpful for us business travelers. I had the ribeye steak and didn't know what to expect beings it was a sports bar. It was superb! Cooked exactly as requested and great flavor. Had some fun in the casino, but the slots seemed really tight. Not many bonuses and didn't get to play much for the money put in.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Historic, beautiful and uncommon would be a few words to describe this local gem. The staff is also notably friendly , knowledgeable and courteous. The views from the top are stunning. There are also a nice gift shop and evening restaurant at the summit.

Riding the plane is rather inexpensive. They run roughly every 15 minutes, although I wish hours of operation started earlier. Mountain bike trails are easily accessed from the top, ride bikes down and ride the plane back up. The bottom, however, requires you to carry your bike up through a very narrow passage and stairwell. If you are running bars over 700s, it's very tight, and difficult for children. I had to carry my bike up, then go back and carry my sons bike up. The trails are pretty technical and I wouldn't advise a novice, especially a novice child, ride them. The trails require ability to control your descent and handle tight turns. The lower section of trail is mich easier for a beginner.

Very cool experience with great views of the town below. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Finding the right place to park at the bottom is a bit of a challenge but certainly worth taking the time to do.

Great history behind the incline plane.

Don't fear it, it's really not a bad ride! Although this incline is steeper than the ones in Pittsburgh, it's a much smoother ride. I generally have weak knees if I'm even three stories high somewhere, but I was stepping out of my comfort zone to ride it and it wasn't bad at all! It was a very smooth ride and it even still transports vehicles both ways. I wish we'd have started at the bottom and put the car on to get to the top. The platform outside is a great view and from inside the gift shop you can see the mechanics of it (as pictured here).

This place is awesome and a must see, worth a day trip (but make sure it's during the open season). I live in Pittsburgh, a few blocks from the Duquesne Incline, which I ride often, and this one in Johnstown is a gem! It was closed when I visited and I absolutely will return when it's open. So, a little known day trip you can take, from Pittsburgh to Altoona, will allow you to see 5 inclines, 4 of which you can ride. The Duquesne and Monongahela inclines in Pittsburgh, Johnstown inclined plane, Allegheny Portage Railroad, then the mini incline at the Altoona Curve. Enjoy 😉.

The inclined plane is under construction so you currently can't ride it or get to the viewing balcony. I think you can possibly go into the restaurant at 4pm and after for a view of Johnstown.

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.

Very interesting place to visit. The museum was put together beautifully. The area was well maintained and had plenty of parking for cars and large vehicles. Be ready to walk up some steps to the top (118 exactly), but we'll worth it. There is a tram but isn't working at this time. They did offer a discount due to the tram not operating. If in the Altoona area , worth the look, especially when a train comes through.....

What a great place for a railfan - or engineere - to visit. Only had an hour but still saw four trains trundle by. The view from the observation area of the reservoir is spectacular. Will be back when we can spend the day. Only drawback was the funicular was not in operation this trip, so 194 steps up it was!

Informative museum and great views of Horseshoe Curve. 4 stars was only because the tram was inoperable and 194 stair steps could be daunting; otherwise a 5 star experience. We saw an Amtrak passenger train, 2 freight trains (different directions), and a 4 engine helper engine group on a beautiful sunny Friday morning.

Really cool place to visit, especially if a train comes along. We were lucky enough to see two trains at once, each going in different directions. The horseshoe curve means you can see the beginning and the end of the train, I believe about a mile long. And the trains blow their horn as they go by. There's also a nice little museum with the history of the area and the train tracks, and a gift shop. There are stairs to climb, but it wasn't difficult. There is a little tram with boxcars that goes up the hill but it was not operating when we were there.

Its really not that great of a paid experience! They should really use the money they make to cut the tree line down so you can actually see the the entire curve and fix the grounds up. Alot of the signs about the history need to be fixed. The museum was nice but thats about it. You can only see a small part of the curve because its blocked by trees and vegetation. So not worth the money. Also- the incline plane was shut down, which we did get a 20% discount for it not working but still 🙄 Climbing stairs to see 1/4 of the curve should be a free experience. Not worth almost $50 for a family of four. I mentioned this to the worker and she said the railroad company owns the land on the opposite sides of the curve and they are responsible for cutting that down and it hasn't been done in over 5 years. Still on grounds the trees could be trimmed. Save your money!

The machine that takes you up to see the train, was broke. And I can't walk up 200 steps to see it. They should probably put that on the website. And since I wasn't a paying customer, I couldn't use the restroom. And we were about 2 hrs from home. So I sat in the car and my husband went up. The pics were from down below. I don't think it's a big of deal then they make up on the website

Pretty cool place to stop. The museum is interesting abd it gives some history about the railroad. There is a nice view from the top of the stairs. It is a good place to watch trains.

Im not sure where to begin with all of the positive things about this amusement park honestly! It is very very clean! And I dont mean like your basic clean, I mean that there was not a SINGLE piece of garbage laying ANYWHERE the entire park. So, for the description of it, its not very large in comparison to other amusement parks. Its more like an extravagant carnival that stops through your town once a year. But not in a negative way by ANY means! Its wonderful! There are lots of games to play and win prizes, there are many many rides that are super exciting, and there is one roller coaster. They are all super fun and the wait time is minimal! I went during the end of the year so unfortunately for me the water park was closed 😭 i can't wait to go next year and see how that is!!!! They even have dippen dots here!!!🤤 there are many different types of food to choose from. There is a gift shop full of neat things as well! I easily spent 300 dollars in there. No regrets. There is also a section full of rides for smaller kids! There are in fact hight restrictions in that section tho! You CAN be too tall to ride them. But that is perfectly fine, let the little ones have something for themselves, you know? Honestly, all in all I give it a 10 out of 10. Its clean, fun, has MANY things to experience, oh and I forgot to mention that its not extremely expensive either!! We brought 6 people and it cost 30 dollars to get in because they were having a sale/deal. It was a score 😊 I have ADHD so its difficult for me to stay on point. Oh well. I think I mentioned everything! Im absolutely going again next year 😊

Del Grosso's was fun! We particularly enjoyed the wave pool and the lazy river. The water park has more for bigger kids than the regular park, in my opinion. It was great that there were next to no lines for the rides in the non water side. My child really enjoyed the Crazy Mouse. Recommend for a relaxing family outing.

Very clean, good amount of lifeguards. Wheel chair access. More kid friendly! Make sure you put your walking shoes on! No googles on slides either I didnt read that any where online but thats okay you stay on the tubs for the most part.

It's 38.00 for a all day ride and slide pass however between both parks there is not a lot to do. They dont have enough rides we had a hard time spending 5 hours there. We drove from Ohio and was a little disappointed. Now they do have a nice kitty land for littles but for older kids you have maybe 5 good rides out of the i think 8 rides. They seemed to be on top of their ride safety kicking ppl off rides that can't follow directions and would cause a potential accident. The park isn't bad but definitely wouldn't make the trip for 38.00 a person. If they had more rides for older kids absolutely! For what they have to offer their all day ride and slide passes should be 20.00 bucks because not many people could spend a whole day there with the same 8 rides same 3 water slides. They have a kids pool play area, a lazy river, and a wave pool and we maxed out a 5 hours that was 3 adults and a small child.

Took the grandkids, we all had a blast! We did rides on the amusement side first, then lunch & the Waterpark in the afternoon. They especially loved the wave pool. I love the lazy river. The staff is so amazing & friendly.. We're definitely doing it again next summer! At least twice!

Harvestfest is my favorite. The park is close to us and we often go throughout the summer... I don't love that they went cashless as I'd prefer to just give my kids $20 and call it a day.. so imagine my happiness when this sign was at the entrance last weekend.. CASH ONLY!

We decided to take a daytrip to the park which had been on our bucket list for awhile. It's a nice, small park with what I would call some "mini" rides, definitely geared more towards kids. We liked the fact that there was free admission if you were not riding since I cannot do rides that spin. The closest thing to a roller coaster is the wild mouse type ride. We were excited to try all of the food since we heard some of it was amazing. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The pizza was just ok, did not care for the potato salad, the pasta was overcooked and I'm guessing they use their jar sauce and the philly cheese steak barely had any cheese whiz on it. I will say, though, the food prices were very reasonable. It was to chilly to go to the water park which looked really fun. Tons of things to do there.

Did not spent too much time as I was on my way home but what I did managed to see was interesting many of the outside exhibits were closed but it was to be expected for winter time. I'd recommend visiting during spring or autumn. Do plan to visit another time.

The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center has many interesting outdoor events and exhibits. The museum gives an overview of the history of the Army. An interesting detail is that you can follow a soldier with the use of dog tags available at the information desk

Was really an excellent piece of heritage. Very well done and have lots too see both inside and out. Also, they are open free to the general public! If in the area they are definatly worth checking out!

Even though the museum was closed due to the Gov shutdown, it was still a lot to see on the walking trail around the property.

Very nice and informative place. Free to visit and walk around the grounds. Great way to spend an hour or two

This place is great! Wish I have more time to explore. Definitely will come back next time.

It was a great place to visit and the learning experience was nice. Interactive things to do.

This Was One Of The Most Beautiful, Somber Yet Humbling Places We Visited On Our Trip. Truly Awe-inspiring, Informative, Time Standing Still,Contemplating The Lives Lost On These Meticulously Kept Hallowed Grounds Of Our Nations Darkest Days.

An amazing experience. Clean and well maintained. Great learning experience for our children.

Such an important part of our national history. Unfortunately, our recent visit coincided with the recent government shutdown, so a lot of NPS facilities were not open. But we were able to freely explore the cemetery on foot. We were glad we were able to pay our respects.

The cemetery is free to visit, and so are the 3 daily guided tours. The history is so moving and it’s easy to get choked up when hearing about everything. I highly recommend the 5:30pm tour followed by Taps at 7pm. (But only if you want to cry.)

I loved seeing the battle field's to sit and think of what happened here. To see our own fighting against our own for a better life for all. Both sides had their reasons. Both sides understood the cost. Now, we live in a world where no one understands the cost of freedom. Now, everyone looks the other way and forgets. I served in 2-2 Infantry for 10 years. A lot of the pictures are of 2-2 Infantry. Dedicated to my fallen brothers.

We have been to the Gettysburg Soldiers National Cemetery several times; however, this year we had the opportunity to experience all of the flags on the graves during Memorial Day. Was a great site to see and experience. Full blog post and video on our website.

A great place to visit if you’re interested in United States history. Here you can see the graves of soldiers who fought in Gettysburg as well as the site of Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address.

We stopped in 30 Sept 2025 after engaging a tour guide for a “3 hour tour”, He had so much to tell us, he took 4 hours! Very informative and yet, so much could be said about the battles fought here. The Museum film and Cyclorama painting exhibit cost $40 for two seniors to see. The Cyclorama visit is timed but you can take your time walking the Museum. We visited the gift shop also. Tons of historical books there, along with glassware, magnets, and tasteful knickknacks. Lots of seniors and few school trips at this time of year.

Visiting this place was a very meaningful experience for me. There is so much to explore & learn. The video that is shown at the beginning of the museum tour was very well done, & the diorama experience was indescribable. Highly recommend for anyone interested in U.S. history.

We bought tickets for the diorama, movie and museum. Great experience overall! The movie was education and well presented, lasted about 15 minutes. The diorama visit is about 15 minutes as well and is worthwhile. The museum is huge, you could spend all day there. The gift shop is great. We left with toy rifles for the boys to do their own reenactment of the battles. The cafe offers delicious options, my only recommendation is they should offer more table for seating. They only had about 4-5 tables and that was not enough.

Gettysburg is a phenomenal historical site with more to see than the majority of visitors can get to in a short time. Just my personal practical advice, if you only have one day to visit the battlefield and don't want to hire a licensed guide, then the NPS auto tour is more than adequate. It is well marked, makes 16 stops at all the major highlights, and the audio & video segments do a great job. If you are more of an enthusiast and have 2 (or more) days, I recommend Carol Reardon & Tom Vossler's A Field Guide to Gettysburg. It lays out and thoroughly explains 37 stops. Taking a kind of combo approach, drive the auto tour with the Field Guide in hand. You get the shorter 16 stops, but the Field Guide gives you more depth and information at each spot. Plan on 2 to 4 hours on the battlefield itself and bring along a picnic and plenty of water. There's a lot to think about on this sacred ground. It's hard to stand anywhere in this peaceful, beautiful landscape and imagine the tragic carnage that happened here. But it's almost a spiritual kind of experience to try.

Parking at the visitor center was easy and that's were we recommend you start when visiting. The visitor center is very nice with some great displays, movies, bus your, driving tours, rest rooms and even have a cafe to grab a bite. We did a driving tour using the NPS app which was really very nice to explain and bring the battle and people to life as you look at the fields or hills Give this review a like👍❤️. FYI the budget cuts are not affecting this park. There were plenty of rangers and volunteers to make your visit enjoyable. In talking to the rangers they were all very happy since most of the cuts got rid a dead weight or managers that never talked to the public or helped your experience be better. Let the parks know you like having less overhead and more people making your visit better.

This was my second time visiting Gettysburg National Park. I was actually camping at Artillary Ridge which was about 5 minute drive. I could have hiked it. There has been a lot of changes. The museum has expanded and there was a special exhibit area. The Cyclorama is now an experience that starts with a film. Information is provided, directional markers have been installed so tou know where you are on the battlefield. The gift shop is nice and the grounds are lovely. You can take a bus tour to visit monunents or take the self guided audio tour. I highly recommend it, so much history.

Coming here was on our bucket list. There are many museums you can visit but this one was the main one we wanted to see. We really enjoyed seeing everything inside. The pictures don’t do it justice but I hope you enjoy. Maybe someday you can come here yourselves.

Went by myself today. Employees were all really nice and helpful, seen a lot of cool animals. Prices are great for what you get. Food prices are good too, I got pulled pork, it was edible but not great. More roll than meat and meat was watery. On upside it warned me. Fries looked good but I didn't get to try any. Gift shop nice. Had a great time even solo

Such a great experience (even in the rain)! Make sure you do the safari ride!!!! The staff were amazing! The food was good! We loved chatting with the gentleman in the museum! Mostly all of the animals were active (and if not, the staff do what they can to get them moving around). We can't wait to visit again!

Lake Tobias Wildlife Park is a great place for a day trip. It is a combination of a guided safari area and a more traditional walk-through zoo, and it's great for kids. The safari tour on one of their open-air buses was great. It was interesting to see animals like bison, elk, and Ankole-Watusi cattle in a large, open environment rather than smaller enclosures. They also had rare, light-haired bison, which were mixed in with the rest of the herd. Part of the tour included an opportunity to feed an elk that came up to the bus. We explored the zoo portion on foot. There are enclosures for lions and tigers, as well as primates like lemurs. We also visited the reptile building, which housed a number of alligators, frogs, and snakes. The park has a few areas for direct interaction. Our kids spent time in the petting zoo area with goats and a miniature horse, among other small animals. They also had the chance to feed a large group of young emus. The paths in the zoo section are hilly, so be prepared for a bit of a walk. I did see that they offer carts for visitors who might need assistance with mobility. The pricing for admission and the safari felt reasonable for a full day's activity. Overall, it was a busy day with a good variety of things to see, from the safari ride to the different animal exhibits.

WHAT AN AWESOME DAY we have at this fantastic Lake and Zoo😊!!! It was great from the beginning by their huge parking lot to by the time we left. The whole place, animals, the services, the food, the atmosphere... it's like they think on each and every detail. Yes, they even have a playground for the kids. Put on a comfortable sneakers and be ready to enjoy the walk. And yes, you can bring wagons and strollers. To make this family day more enjoyable take a ride on their Safari tour. 100% recommended. And don't forget to buy the snacks, before getting in the line, to enjoy the ride by feeding all the wild animals. Lines moved faster than you think. So join and enjoy EVERYTHING.

We visited Lake Tobias Wildlife Park on August 29th, 2025, and had such a fantastic experience! The safari ride was the highlight, giving us the chance to see so many animals up close in a beautiful, open setting. The park is well maintained, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. It’s a perfect place for families to spend the day, with plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational outing!

This was my first trip to Lake Tobias, my wife had been here previous, but some time ago. I was a bit reserved when I pulled in the lower parking lot. Not very large so I held my thoughts until I reached the interior of the park. So very impressed with every facet of the setup. We started with the Safari ride, and it didn't disappoint. We had one of our younger granddaughters, and she was a bit reserved with feeding the donkeys and llamas but she warmed up as we got further in. The animals were fairly conditioned to the routine, but that didn't stop the fun we had with them. Our driver was super informative, telling us a lot of details about the animals. It was a gorgeous day and most animals were out and active. Too many to describe them all, but plenty to see. Very close. Feeding the giraffes was special. They got right in your face. We packed our lunch so the only food item we got was fresh popped popcorn at the safari area. Awesome. Hot and tasty. All of the staff were pleasant, polite and informative. The reptile show was great. Close up with snakes, alligators and a not so active sloth. Still fun. The bears, monkeys, lions, goats, kangaroos, prairie dogs, panther, and assorted other creatures I can't recall , entertained us all. Well kept park. Lots of fun and educational information. Lots of picnic pavillions and benches throughout the park. We will surely return. Thanks for all you provide.

Drove 1.5 hrs and it was absolutely worth it. All the staff was polite and friendly. All the animals were out. The safari ride is absolutely worth it. You get your moneys worth that’s for sure. We hope to come back some day!!!! Oh and Verenda the safari bus driver was excellent.

A beautifully crafted building with a huge amount of money spent on its construction, paintings, marbles, glass work, chandeliers, etc. It has three main portions, namely, Senate, House of Common, and Supreme Court. Its floor tiles are individually hand crafted. The tour guide explains everything in many details. One must book the tour in advance, although they entertain one or two odd unbooked people, but i depends upon the already booked slots. On weekdays, one can also attend the sessions in the different houses, including the Supreme Court.

Stopped over the state Capitol this past July after taking my wife & kids to see the Chocolate World in Hershey. Figured what's a few extra miles west to see some historical architecture. We live in the Chicago area and were visiting my dad's side of the family in the Tamaqua area. I've only passed thru Harrisburg on the interstate but never visited the downtown area. Last time I was in PA was 2011 and this trip marked my wife & kids' first visit to the Keystone State. I'm rather impressed with the downtown and Capitol Park area. Kinda makes you think the Burg is a major city but indeed is actually small in land and population. We were actually on a time crunch so we didn't get to walk inside the Capitol building if we're actually even allowed to. My kids weren't all that excited to be here but my wife & I enjoyed walking around the historical complex, the fountain and the park across the street. It was a beautiful day out and a pleasant first experience in the state's capital. Not sure when we'll visit PA again but I'd definitely like stop in town again and explore more.

This is probably one of the best state Capitol buildings you can visit. It is incredibly ornate. Tours are free and while not required, the tour guide may be able to get you into some areas that you wouldn't be able to get into on your own. We had an awesome guide which made it even better. Be sure to stop at the Governors office and the Senate library.

The PA State Capitol is absolutely gorgeous! Interior and exterior feels like I'm transported straight to DC. The Capitol offers free timed tours of the 3 main chambers; PA House, Senate, and Supreme Court. Our tour guide was so impressive with how knowledgeable, personable, and he paced us well to see everything within the 30-45 minutes. The art and architecture of the main rotunda and the chambers were incredible. I honestly would have been more than happy if I paid for a tour like that, let alone a free tour open to the general public. Big props to our guide for the 1pm tour, Monday July 14th.

This is one of the best capitols in USA. Lots of money spend in the construction, beautiful fascinating stunning chandelier in the chambers. Floor tiles are awesome U feel transported in the era kings and queens seems u are in rich palace The interiors are amazing gold leaf work is done in the entire building. Tours are free if possible book in advance It shows 3 chambers Supreme court, senate, house of common Outside-is big fountain Every part of building is beautifully done Worth visiting

Definitely one of the most beautiful capitol buildings I've been to. Parking was easy to find. They have a welcome center and a gift shop.

Beautiful historial building! Today I represented my fellow Community Health Workers, advocating for better funding and sharing our passion for helping the underserved communities in PA.

Great exhibits, perfect place to start learning about the acw or to introduce someone to it. Good overview that includes the Western Front as well (rare) though lacking info on overall civilian experience, there is a lot about slavery, emancipation, usct, and Black experience at the time. Beautiful view outside!

It's a great American story; what President Abraham Lincoln did is admirable. Unlike today's administration, which wants to feel like a hero just by talking and giving orders.

It's a very cool place if you have the time to read each wall panel. There are no wow factor artifacts, just cool history.

A great experience but a bit pricey at $17 for seniors. Quality artifacts and well displayed information. Very cold (bring your sweater) and narratives can make it difficult to read. Highly recommend.

An impressive and very well-organized museum. The collection is extensive and covers both the Union and the Confederacy’s perspectives, making it balanced and informative. The exhibits are clearly presented, with original artifacts, documents, and audiovisual displays that bring the era to life. The staff is friendly and always willing to answer questions. A must-visit for anyone interested in history.

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I were excited to find this on our last day there in town. We learned a few things that we have not read before and we have been to a lot of museums. The displays were amazing and the items they had were incredible to see. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Excellent displays with a tremendous array of artifacts. The museum tells the story of all phases of the war.
