Sahara Sam's Oasis Water Park

Mentioned on

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Big Kahuna's Water Park is a popular destination for summer fun, offering both indoor and outdoor water attractions. The outdoor section features an impressive wave pool and a splash area that keeps kids entertained for hours. Visitors can also book outdoor seating areas in advance and have food and drinks brought to them. The park is great for families and friends, with a variety of slides and a warm lazy river.
I have been to Sahara Sam’s twice and it never fails to amaze me. The smell of chlorine is very strong, but that doesn’t stop you from having a lot of fun. Even though there’s usually a bunch of schools that come to visit since it’s pretty cheap with some “Happy Hour” type deals for entry, it’s easy to get in when you’re coming with friends. If you are coming on a school trip, the procedure we had was that we all waited on the bus to have our wrist bands put on by employees — but it could be different for everyone else. Unless you’re coming with a school or a similar organization, you won’t need a wristband. The waterpark has a bar, great food (but very overpriced), and is overall really fun! I’d recommend to anyone looking for a cheap getaway. Regarding the food, be prepared to wait a WHILE for your meal. This can take anywhere between fifteen minutes to half an hour, so order in advance (especially if you’re ordering with a group of people / a large meal). You still get what you pay for though, even though there’s few rides, it’s still really fun!

Sahara Sam's is absolutely gross, nostalgic, and loads of fun all at the same time. There's a reason why they call it Boomer's Park. It hasn't been updated since they opened. Expect mounds of dust, but a warm feeling if you used to come here as a kid. It's best to get the park ticket before you come through Groupon. The water slides are a lot of fun, even as an adult. If you're coming to this water park, definitely lower your expectations for cleanliness. The children will love it, though, and despite the state of the facilities, you just might too. P.s.- Sahara Sam's should really shut the place down for the day and hire a cleaning crew to clean the outside of the slides, and the whole place, in general.
Kay W — Google review
I, my husband and daughter went on a Friday afternoon. We arrived at 4 and the park closed at 6. We feel we went at a perfect time because there was no wait to use the slides, the pools and wave pool were not crowded and there were ample chairs to place your belongings and relax. There's an awesome fully stocked bar with signature cocktails, beer and wine. There's a nice size snack bar with typical fare you'd find at a waterpark. We really enjoyed the slides and splash park area. The wave pool was a little lackluster as was the indoor pool but its great that they have them. There's a tiny adults only hot tub and another larger, deeper outdoor pool. We really liked the lazy river and were surprised at how calm it was considering most reviews say its crowded and chaotic. Again, it might have been quiet at the hour we went since it was a couple hours until closing. Since this park is within 5 minutes of where we live, we did not need to spend an entire day there and feel that we had a really good time in the 1 1/2 hours we spent there. I would definitely go again at the time we went and I would like to try the snack bar and a cocktail next time. I also have to say there was plenty of staff and lifeguards who were polite and attentive. All the water attractions and seating areas were clean as well.
A. W — Google review
Not bad but not awesome. Good deal w/the Groupon but smallish. VERY very crowded. 2 water slides were closed while we were there which didn't help the long lines. Chaos reigns in the "lazy" river, it's more like crazy chaos river than anything else. Parking is free, lockers are $20 flat all day fee- and you're going to need one because the chairs get taken up and rearranged by large groups. They do birthday parties and group events here which is nice, but should have separate hours for such a small space to accommodate the large groups. Pools were ok, although they were all extremely cloudy by the end of the day. The hot tub area is also very small and unfortunately understaffed so TONS of small splashy kids play in them. The two working water slides were FAST and worth the line. The larger group tube was not worth the hour wait on line. They are staffed with teenagers like most places, however the line cutting here is RAMPANT and the kids working there trying but can't do much about it. There is a large bar w/tropical drinks and good service. A large snack/pizza area w/affordable options. Bathrooms are... questionable though so I recommend figuring out a workable changing option elsewhere if possible. All in all...worth it for the Groupon price -- but wouldn't pay more than $20/person.

Dragged my sunburn-prone self to Big Kahuna’s on a sweltering Saturday in June for a kid’s birthday party, because apparently my social calendar now revolves around miniature humans and the places that cater to them. Expectations were low, hydration was questionable, and sunscreen was already losing the battle. Shockingly, the inside of the place didn’t smell like feet and chlorine despair. The indoor staff was actually helpful—like, not dead-eyed teenagers counting the seconds ‘til closing. The birthday party staff had their act together, which is saying a lot considering they were herding ten sugar-screaming banshees hopped up on arcade tokens and whatever red dye cocktail was in those drinks. The facilities were cleaner than they had any right to be, and the arcade? Cold air, cool games, and just enough stimulation to distract me from the fact that I was melting outside thirty minutes earlier. Security was no joke. They checked every bag like we were boarding a flight to Cozumel, and honestly? Respect. Life jackets were easy to grab, the fries were good enough to make me briefly forget the rest of the food tragedy, and there’s a bar, which probably deserves a gold plaque and a beam of heavenly light. Now let’s talk about the not-so-righteous. The pizza? Criminal. Like, I’ve eaten dollar-slice gas station pizza that showed more ambition. The food prices for the party were offensive—unless you think reheated mediocrity should cost what it does at an airport terminal. The security line looped outside in June heat, with no shade in sight unless you brought your own parasol or shame cloak. Inside the waterpark, the crowd density made me question whether there was a fire code or if we were just raw-dogging chaos. And while the indoor staff was dialed in, the ones inside the actual park part looked like they were either on break or in the middle of a group gossip session. Either way, “alert” was not on the menu. And sure, the arcade was fun—but for a park this size, the game selection felt a bit… minimalist. Still, the kids had a blast, which is the only reason anyone goes to a place like this and doesn’t fake a sudden flu. Final verdict: Big Kahuna’s is tolerable, occasionally enjoyable, and wildly chaotic. Go in with low expectations, pack a portable fan and a snack, and maybe pregame that bar.

We recently hosted my daughter’s birthday party at the indoor water park, and it was a fantastic experience! The staff were very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The value for money was definitely worth it — the kids had an absolute blast and there was plenty to keep them entertained. I saw a few older reviews mentioning cleanliness issues, but that was not my experience at all. The facility was clean and well-maintained throughout our visit. My daughter and her friends had an amazing time, and we’ll definitely be coming back for future celebrations!

I have had season passes at this water park through the years as it has changed ownership. Each company says they strive to do better, however the first visit of the year since the new company took over and transitioned back to Sahara Sam’s was a disappointment. The outside was open but the wave pool was not doing waves. It was open to go in but I waited fifteen minutes with no waves and overheard a lifeguard saying he didn’t think it was going to be doing waves today. The outside kiddie area also was closed. Still had Big Kahuna branding all over. Still dusty on big fans and cords that have been dusty for years and other users have pointed out. Such a shame that quality and integrity hasn’t improved with the new company.

Sesame Place Philadelphia

Mentioned on

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Sesame Place Philadelphia is a vibrant amusement park based on the beloved children's show Sesame Street. Located just 30 minutes from Philadelphia, this family-friendly destination offers over 25 attractions, including rides, live shows, and water slides. Perfect for kids under 7, the park features favorite characters like Elmo and Big Bird. Families can enjoy rides at Elmo's World, Big Bird's Balloon Race, and Cookie Mountain.
Have visited weekdays, weekends, and even holidays like Labor Day weekend. Crowds are lower on weekdays but there’s usually more character meets available on the weekends we’ve noticed. They have so much to do and it’s ideal for any baby that can walk up to mid elementary school age kids. Staff always friendly. Park entry always smooth and organized. Entertainers always give 100%. It’s a truly great place to visit. I’m so lucky to be local and get to enjoy all the seasonal events as well.

We visited for the first time and really enjoyed our time with kids. Nothing much for teenagers but they can still have some fun on the rides. Some of the rides were not functional as you can read in most of the reviews. I visited on a weekday and didn’t experience any wait time. Parade was the most amazing experience for my kids. Salute to the artists who were performing with such an enthusiasm on a super hot day

I had an AMAZING time with my little one at the Sesame Place. This theme park is full of colorful fun packed streets. We did not cover all but the bit we covered was memorable. Things are a pricey like the parking, food and most items at the gift shop. But nonetheless, it is a MUST SEE especially for kids. The parade was our highlight. I highly recommend for tourists and even locals. 💯 Kids Friendly ✅ Paid parking✅ Gift shop✅ 🚻 Restroom ✅ Lovely Ambiance ✅ Good Music ✅
K A — Google review
"Elmo, Mama. Elmo, Mama!" - 2 yr old pointing with excitement. Where are we? "Special Place, Mama!" - 2 yr old. He couldn't say "Sesame" so called it "Special Place" instead of Sesame Place. Wednesdays are the least crowded day in the summer. Get a season pass. The parade is cute but if you go often skip the parade and go on rides without a line. Kids must be able to walk and sit independently to go on the rubber duck water slide. My son loved it at 2 years then 3-4 was scared. Then went back to it when older. My son was so excited to be to be tall enough for the rollercoasters. Oscar's taxi was closed the first time he was tall enough then got stuck with us on it at the finish but my kid needed to go to the bathroom while we were waiting to get the seat belts to release, luckily he held it and had no interest in getting back on. Grover's rollercoaster is way better but for adults who don't like rides, this is a real ride, not simply a preschool thrill ride. Get to shows early. Seating can run out at the indoor theater. Get a spot for the parade early if going. I miss when they allowed kids to interact with parade characters. Core memories for my child. Skip character meals...too expensive for picky eaters, vegetarians, and kids with food allergies. Wish bathrooms were cleaner. Elmo's Flying Fish was my son's favorite ride. And he loved climbing on the ropes when he needed to jump around. Bubbles were a great distraction in line on days when lines were longer. Season passes can be bought in August for the end of the season and Halloween and Dec holidays' spectacular AND the following summer. Pass includes parking. Worth it if going 3 or more times. Sesame Place was my son's happy place ages 2-7 years of age.

It was a great experience with our granddaughter and family, just as fun as 20 years ago with our children. food, merchandise and extra activities are pricey but that's with all theme parks. Definitely recommend purchasing tickets online you save about half the price.
Grecy L — Google review
This experience was everything I wanted it to be. Food- I purchased the food pass for the 3 main places to get food from (ABC, Big Bird's, & Elmo's). Preparing in advance for the food I would highly recommend as theme park meals are expensive. The pass offered one entree, one side or dessert, and one drink ( no alcohol ) every 90 minutes. In my eyes for 3 adults and 2 kids it was worth it and at about $137 vs an approximate $375 Rides- I am no thrill seeker... but my kids (18 & 10) enjoying plenty of them with shorter wait times averaging around 4 to 15 minutes depending on the ride and the time of day. Oscar's coaster had the longest line at about 30 minutes, however it had an delayed open at around noon. What I did notice about the rides, is that they do not all start at the opening of the park. I'm not sure if this is due to staffing, maintenance, closure or whatever else one could think of but there is so much to explore that by the time you make it back around to a ride that was "closed"... it may be open. Characters- the meets for the characters were pretty easy going. The lines were tolerable and were consistently moving. Not all the characters were available for meet and greets but there is a way to find all of this stuff out. Parade- We went due Labor day weekend & 45th Birthday celebration. The parade was awesome. The songs were catchy and not the normal songs we all know! With some ABC'S & 123's, floats, bikes, and dancers... you can bet that they all did great! All of the characters were in the parade. Elmo, Abby, Big Bird, Oscar, Zoe, Kelly, Cookie monster, Bert, Ernie, and the count. What really tied this whole experience together was the Sesame Place App. This app held my tickets and passes, had a in depth map of the park, and give you a schedule. You can navigate the App to pull up your passes for easy convince instead of navigating through emails or printing out passes and tickets. The map will offer you directions to and from different areas. If you're looking to find a shop or the playground the map will give you directions on how to get there. The schedule is a little wonky and my best guess is because the characters are human and there is some error in all things human. With that being said characters are subjected to change without notice. So dont get your hopes up looking to see someone and they're not there. This disclaimer is also on the app. The schedule will help you plan your day based on what you like to do. For us it was helpful because we were able to plan for the little one to meet her favorite friends while the others were able to play until meeting for food, parade, or at Count's castle in the water. There are plenty of things to do and a variety of foods to eat. The park was clean, colorful, and encompasses people of all ages and races to come and enjoy. Not quite as diverse as Disney but its not as popular. I will be going back with my kiddos because they want to go back to Sesame Place!

It's a good time with our toddler but it is pretty overpriced, understaffed, and could be better maintained. We got value with the season pass and a teacher pass, but won't be doing it again. We really enjoy everything Sesame Street, but this feels like a cash grab.

I had a great time at Parx Casino even though luck wasn’t on my side this visit. The atmosphere is lively, clean, and full of energy, making it a fun place to spend time. One thing I really liked is that if you play for more than 15 minutes, they offer you free drinks, coffee, or water, which adds a nice touch to the experience. The staff are friendly and quick to assist, and the food options are surprisingly good and reasonably priced, especially for a casino. Whether you want a snack or a full meal, there’s plenty of choice. Overall, it’s a great place to relax, enjoy some games, and grab a bite. I’ll definitely be coming back again — hopefully with better luck next time!

Sights & Landmarks
Independence National Historical Park is a sprawling 20-block area in the city, housing significant landmarks such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. The park has seen a steady increase in visitors, with plans to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Notable projects for this milestone include restoring the First Bank of the United States and the Declaration House, where Thomas Jefferson penned the historic document.
The beginning of our country. To stand where our fore father's stood. Preserving the original buildings is amazing. 90% of the woodwork is original. It is just amazing and well worth to see where our country started. With only a few delagates from our 13 colonies could agree of how our country should be run and we live by it still today. Breath taking.

We had a really wonderful visit. The interpretive ranger staff are so thoughtful and knowledgeable. It is always wild to see this relatively modest place where so many of the roots of our country were planted. I love how we can both acknowledge the complicated humanity of our founders, appreciate the heart of it, and grow to do better. As someone on wheels, I also appreciated the access. The options were mostly obvious, and for the one spot a temporary ramp was needed it was up before I could blink. The whole area is thoughtful and well curated. Be careful though. I came here with my fifth grader who had just finished studying American History - and left with a full set of the foundational documents of our nation. 😳😂 You've been warned. (She has been updating me from the Bill of Rights regularly since then.)

Impressive. Fantastic space with many interesting artifacts and displays. Great combo ticket with the Museum of the American Revolution. Convenient Starbucks in the building. Interesting movie in the round got things off to a good start. Suffrage exhibit was really well done. I think my favorite thing was the room with the life size statues of the signers of the constitution.

Liberty Bell

Mentioned on 
+97 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Liberty Bell, last rung in 1846, is a 2,080-pound symbol of freedom with a biblical inscription and a famous crack. It holds great significance as an icon of freedom and independence in America. Located across from Independence Hall on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, the bell offers a perfect view of the historic site. The importance of Independence Hall lies in its role as the location where the Declaration of Independence was signed, making it a crucial part of American history.
Recently visited iconic landmark of Philadelphia Great quick trip. A lot of information in an organized layout. Touched on a the little detail about the bell and it's history, not just the well know information. The staff are all relaxed and knowledgeable to answer any questions and give a little of background information when asked. Close up 360 view of the bell which is great for pictures and videos. You can also see the current bell and the tower that it's in right behind the liberty bell. Nice walking area surrounding to liberty bell museum. If you are in town or leave near by must visit once.

This is something I have always wanted to see, the history is fascinating. I had planned a whole day but there definitely is not enough to keep you busy for the whole day so do research and take in the city, it is unbelievably walkable, easy to navigate and a beautiful city

The birthplace of the United States Constitution, the Liberty Bell at the Independence Historical National Park is a fun way to spend a few hours exploring and learning more about our country’s history. Surrounded by 18th century architect, visitors can still enter the very same buildings where our founding fathers wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, passed law, and came together as a nation.

Did not know liberty bell symbolizes freedom to so many people. This place provides good history how Liberty bell services a reminder life is what you willing to fight for. The ranger is very knowledgeable even show us how to take a good “daylight “ shot of the crack from the bottom of the backside of the bell.

The Liberty Bell is a significant piece of US history. The fact that they don’t charge to go in is fantastic cues can be quite long but within 10 to 15 minutes you’re in. Really well organised. A must see if you’re in Philadelphia.

This was one of the other items that I was blessed enough to check off my bucket list as well. I learned a lot about the history of the bell, as there is a indoor museum dedicated to it.
Rod W — Google review
I didn't think I would like this museum as much as I did but it was surprisingly good. It's free admission, but there was a significant line to get through security. Once inside it's not that large, but the information and stories provided were excellent. I was amazed at how complete a history they gave, highlighting the contradictions of this symbol of freedom while systematically oppressing women and minorities in this country. It's also why I came in the first place, given how we're currently headed down the same path. It's more of a physical representation of our constant struggle for the fractured freedoms and liberty that we all strive for in America.

Liberty Hall is associated with freedom, civil rights, and American independence. It is a famous bell that attracts visitors from all across the globe. Nice place to visit when in Philadelphia.

Eastern State Penitentiary

History museum
Museums
Eastern State Penitentiary, located in Philadelphia's Fairmount neighborhood, is a gothic-style prison that has been transformed into a popular attraction. The prison once housed notorious individuals like Al Capone and Willie Sutton. Visitors can take tours of the historic cell blocks and explore the haunting architecture of the penitentiary. The museum offers a glimpse into the lives of those imprisoned within its walls, including a look at Al Capone's lavishly furnished cell.
I’ve attended both a daytime tour and Terror Behind the Walls on separate occasions, and each visit was incredible. The guided daytime tour shared fascinating insights into the prison’s influence on the criminal justice system, and Terror Behind the Walls—both times—was an unforgettable experience. The option to be tapped by staff for access to hidden passages added an extra thrill that was absolutely worth it. Even with light sensitivity and a nervous system prone to panic, I found Eastern State to be both accommodating and endlessly impressive. A truly one-of-a-kind experience.

The eastern State penitentiary is a great self guided walking tour. The tour starts with audio headphones and nine points of interest that you can listen to. However, you can walk at your own pace and get through the museum in roughly an hour.
Carlos U — Google review
One of the coolest and creepiest places I’ve ever visited! The Eastern State Penitentiary is massive, and walking through the old cell blocks feels like stepping into a movie set. The audio guide is honestly the best way to experience this place—it’s super engaging and really brings the history to life. The fact that Al Capone’s cell is here just makes it even more unreal. I ended up spending almost 3 hours exploring because there’s so much to see. If you’re in Philly, this is hands down a must-see—history, mystery, and a little bit of spookiness all in one.
Rana S — Google review
We came to see the Mütter Museum, but we couldn't leave without experiencing Eastern State. This was truly the highlight of our trip. This place is remarkable, and it's difficult to convey just how surreal it felt to be there. We opted for the self-guided tour without audio to fully absorb everything it offers within its quiet, cool halls. We plan to return, as this destination certainly warrants multiple visits.
Mickey S — Google review
This is my third time being in Philly (I feel like it’s pretty rare for tourists to visit Philly three times, but I do love this city). This was a real hidden gem and one of my favourite things I’ve experienced in this city. The audio tour, architecture, and atmosphere is truly captivating. WELL worth the $21 honestly.
Louis Z — Google review
Really cool self guided tour. It’s nicer when it’s not as packed (obviously) so you can spend as much time as you want in each place. The tour is voiced by Steve Buscemi which I don’t know why but that was just hilarious to me. Buy tickets online for a few bucks off the price.
Just J — Google review
This is a MUST-SEE historic place!! Not often you are willing to go into prison at your own will 🫣.... A lot of knowledge obtained with self-guide audio tour.... Incredible architecture, stories, artefak, and the staff are all helpful and willing to answer any questions (very knowledgeable!)
G Y — Google review
Prison known to have housed infamous inmates such as Al Capone and Slick Willie. Did the audio guide tour which was good enough. You learn about the type of prisoners that passed through here; some petty crimes others not so much. The design of the prison is rather interesting. The cells tell a story! Different type of attraction, which is worth visiting.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Art museum
Museums
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is a grand and iconic space known for its impressive entry staircase and Renaissance masterpieces. Situated at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, it consists of three buildings, including the Rodin Museum and the Perelman Building. Housing over 240,000 artifacts and artworks, such as sculptures, paintings, armor, and decorative arts from various civilizations around the world. The museum is one of the largest and most visited in the world.
It has a beautiful collection of different ages and cultures. Start from the top floor and, most probably, you will spend there most of your day in the museum. There are unique pieces of European Medieval Art, Asian Art, and American period. It's like swimming in the waves from one culture to another. Another thing which is notable about this museum is that it tries hard to recreate the atmosphere of each period and culture through bringing up of their correspondent architectural authentic elements which fills the rooms with distinctive spirit of each place. It's a definitely nice place to visit for Art & Culture lovers.

This is a must visit when in Philadelphia. Gorgeous museum filled with inspiring artifacts. There are so much to see , and you can get lost inside, since it was our first time here, it took us a while to figure it out how to exit the exhibits. We had a great time inside the museum , spent hours inside the museum enjoyed everything we saw, only wished we had more time to spend here. Tickets pricing are reasonable with military enter for free at certain times. Friendly and attentive staff. Great location. Can arrive on one of the city bus tours as well.
Starr D — Google review
I haven't been to the museum since I was in 8th grade. The experience of the museum inside was great. No complaints. But upon entering and purchasing my admission ticket, I had tapped my card. On the screen that faced me, it read "approved". But the lady behind the ticket counter told me it was "declined". I thought that was odd considering my side said it wasn't. And she insisted that it was declined. So I tapped my card several more times and then finally on the 4th time it was approved. I found it weird but continued my visit into the museum. As I was getting ready to leave, I checked my bank statement through my app and right there it said I was charged twice for my admission. 2 charges for $30. So I stopped at the ticket counter on my way out and they denied me any kind of help with returning my money, even though I showed them right there On my phone that they had charged me twice for one admission. They told me basically they can't do anything about it and that my bank statement wasn't proof enough basically. And then told me to contact my bank because it wasn't their problem. I thought it was rude and inconsiderate, when they were the ones who charged me twice and the proof was right in front of them. I walked away and immediately called my bank. Thank God they are amazing and saw what the museum did and were able to stop it as a duplicate charge. I really don't know what their (museum staff) problem was or why they were rude about it as if I was not being truthful. Even though I showed them right there, that they charged me twice. So I would pay attention to your bank statements when purchasing your admission tickets. Other than that, the museum is a beautiful place to visit and the rest of the staff throughout the museum was friendly and extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. So I will give 4 stars for the rest of my experience. 😊

Climbing up the grand staircase felt like stepping into an ancient Roman temple! ⛪️ The museum’s interior is full of brilliant design details — even the elevator has a striking, unforgettable look. ✨ Behind it, the Phillips Fountain offers a perfect view of City Hall, making it a great photo spot! 📸 You can also find Monet’s Sunflowers here 🌻 — and learn about the meaning behind the Chinese phrase “Five Blessings Arrive at the Door” (五福臨門), symbolizing happiness, longevity, health, virtue, and peace. 🍀

This museum offers art from many periods that are nothing short of exquisite! There are four floors of exhibits. I recommend to start at the third floor and work your way down. There are stairs and elevators for those who are handicapped. The third floor offers armor, European Art from the Medieval period to roughly 1850 as well as Asian Art. Not only are art pieces displayed, but also parts of buildings to showcase the artful architecture of Europe and Asia. The second floor includes contemporary European and American artworks. Paintings, sculptures, and displays make up most of the floor, each demonstrating the variety of creativity the modern mind can produce. The first floor encompasses the special exhibit and American Art up to the early nineteenth century with and emphasis on Pennsylvania art and furniture. The gift shops are also on this floor, featuring exceptional books, prints, magnets, stickers, and other souvenirs one may take home with them. The ground floor includes some African and Asian artwork from a special exhibit of artistic clothing. The security people did not make you feel uncomfortable (in fact, many were welcoming). Overall, this is a museum that one has to check out if they are in the Philadelphia area. Be prepared to spend four hours there at least if you like looking at every single item!

One of the best museums I've experienced in the states! It's very big, nice, clean, and a lot of collections that you might want to see desperately! And they offer 15$ per adult every Friday night with DJ/ music stuff. Although I think the event is not necessary, however, it's very good to see a museum try to attract different areas of people to come in again to appreciate the pure beauty of arts!

The museum is large and features a wide range of art—Andy Warhol photos, modern and classical pieces, armor displays, religious sculptures and paintings, walk-through exhibits, and much more. A major highlight is the famous Rocky steps at the east side entrance—definitely a must-see!

Harrah's Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack - A Caesars Rewards Destination

Casino

This casino & harness racing track also has restaurants, nightlife & shopping.
It was pretty easy to find; parking was easy and free. I went to the Philly Foodie & Fireworks Festival there, so we walked thru to The racetrack. The inside was decorated beautifully but we didn’t really see much. I want to go back eventually.
Raven S — Google review
I've been here once before, but I'm not much of a gambler. So when I was told that the Philadelphia street food festival was going to be hosted at Harrah's, I was wondering how they were going to pull it off given that the majority of the casino is inside, totally forgetting about the awesome race track out back. The festival was awesome! I posted a few of the photos and videos I took of the event as well.

Enjoyed my time at this casino! Didn’t really win heavy, but enjoyed the time here! Pretty spacious. They also have a horse racing track, but they weren’t running tonight. It’s actually nice here when there’s a big race like the Derby or Preakness. Beer specials and a lively crowd. You can seat outside and watch it on the big screen. Variety of eateries here. Stopp d in Pholly Tap Tavern. Nice! Overlooking the race track as well as the river. Christian and Tara were very polite and conversative! Had the Turkey Club with Fries. Fries were really good! Club was good but so big! Only ate half. Turkey was plain tasting. Not like an Oven Roast, but still good! Also had the Space Dust IPA Beer. Really good! Had a kick to it! Booth seating as well as tables and chairs.

I just left there and every single worker there was friendly, helpful and smiling. We ate at the Philly Tavern and my husband got a cheesburger and I got a Blt and it was delicious. There was a long line at the rewards booth at first but it went quick. Good variety of tables and slots and few places to eat. The horse track is right outside, free parking and nice view of the river.

Fun visit while on a roadtrip from California. Although across from a prison, I felt safe and secure. Security was great and walked around alot watching folks, especially Michael who made himself available to speak to me and addressed questions that I had about the casino. Thank you Michael for being so kind. It cost nothing to be kind. The slots were great and we enjoyed seeing your racetrack. Can't wait to come back.

They freaking removed the Poker Room @ Harrah's Philadelphia because of the Covid-19 Pandemic and replaced the poker room with dumb video poker. What a plenty waste of my time. Didn't spend 1 single cent at the Casino Sunday night and I never plan on going back now. Now, 'OFF' to Atlantic City to enjoy my time at some real Casinos because frankly put you can't truly be called a Casino when you don't have a single Poker table playing Texas Hold'em

New Hope Railroad

Transportation
Parking lot
Embark on a delightful journey with the New Hope Railroad, where history and scenic beauty intertwine. This heritage railroad features both steam and diesel locomotives that traverse an 18-mile route through the picturesque rolling hills of Bucks County. Passengers can enjoy a captivating 45-minute narrated ride aboard vintage passenger coaches or an antique bar car, all while being pulled by a charming 1925 Baldwin Steam Locomotive or historic diesel engines.
New Hope has been on my radar for awhile, and when I finally got there, I was really disappointed. Billed as this quaint town with a vibrant business area of diverse shops and boutiques, most are not open during the week, and if they are, their hours are 11 AM-5 PM. The railroad was the highlight of the whole town, and is a nice little historical area. It was almost worth the trip there just to see it.

A good place to spend some time with family, just depends on what you are expecting from the trip. If you do not have small children I would suggest to take the trip before 1:30 or after that, the one at 1:30 was completely booked and had plenty of small children. This way you will have a space on the train and less people around you. If you would like to have a date, go for the first class ticket. And if the weather permits go for the open windows space, you would see more. Booking in advance is a good idea only if you know what time you need and which class you want, if you are not sure, you can do it right there at the station. Also, if you have the whole day, then you can visit both places, New Hope in PA and Lamberville in NJ. I love both and can spend hours there, especially if you come before Halloween, so you can enjoy tge decorations.

An absolutely fascinating place! It’s truly spectacular to see such an old locomotive still running 🚂. The whole town is soaked in history and antique charm — it feels like time has stopped here. 🕰️ And the bridge over the river is something special! Right in the middle, you actually cross from Pennsylvania into New Jersey – such a cool feeling to stand between two states! 🌉🇺🇸 A must-visit spot for anyone who loves history, trains, and authentic small-town vibes. ❤️
Tatiana T — Google review
New Hope is a very atmospheric town, and the railroad adds even more charm. Here you can feel like a lady or gentleman from the 1920s. But remember, life in those distant years only looks romantic in pictures. Soot and lumps of coal will fly out of the locomotive's chimney. If you're in an open-air train car, don't wear white. And to protect your eyes, you'll be given special goggles.

Took a ride on the New Hope Railroad and it was an unforgettable experience! The vintage trains are beautifully restored, giving you that perfect mix of old-time charm and scenic relaxation. Rolling through Bucks County’s countryside feels like stepping back in time — the views are peaceful, the cars are clean and comfortable, and the whole ride has that nostalgic magic. The staff and conductors were incredibly friendly and informative, adding stories and history along the route that really bring the journey to life. Whether you’re a train enthusiast, a family looking for a weekend outing, or a couple out for a relaxing day trip, this is a must-do experience in New Hope. Be sure to check out the gift shop and nearby restaurants — it makes for a perfect afternoon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stepping aboard the New Hope Railroad feels like entering a time capsule—where vintage charm meets modern comfort. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was steeped in nostalgia, with classic train whistles and friendly conductors in period attire. The ride itself was smooth and relaxing, with plush seats and large windows that framed the Bucks County countryside like moving postcards. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone craving a beautiful, comfortable ride back in time.

Gravevine express - we came to this same experience about 2 years ago. While today was great, the experience definitely decreased in quality. The last time I remember it costing way less per person, and there was a bar in the area of first class that we were all seated. They offered a glass of bourbon on our last tour and allowed us to order multiple glasses of the wine we tried depending on how much we finished. This time around; they only offered us the 4 glasses of wine and it was over 350$ per couple. In addition, the parking situation was very misleading and it appeared like it was $15 per day when we intially looked at the screen when went to park in their SMALLLL parking lot. When we went to leave, they charged us $48 dollars for “2 hours and 5 minutes” even though they let us off the train later than “1 hour past our start time. The lady who was our tour guide advised us next time we should park elsewhere and we were totally unaware that it was HOURLY rare. We would’ve parked somewhere else but the kiosk screen did not clearly state it and there was ZERO signs in front of the kiosk. We are very disappointed bc we have visited twice and not sure we would come back due to the ridiculous pricing… cute but not sure it’s worth it at this point..

Peddler's Village

Mentioned on 
33 lists 
Shopping mall
Sights & Landmarks
Peddler's Village is a charming, old-fashioned village with 65 shops and an inn that hosts various events and festivals. One of the highlights is Stories in Sand, a summer-long display of larger-than-life sand sculptures depicting beloved stories and characters like Brothers Grimm fairy tales, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, Winnie-the-Pooh, Mother Goose stories, and Alice in Wonderland. Families can enjoy toy-filled sandboxes and free storytime sessions on Saturdays.
It's a great village of shopping fun. If you need some retail therapy, this is your haven. I shopped in a few places and do recommend getting Ice Cream at Nina's, especially in the heat of the summer. Then walk it off by visiting every shop, look around, browse and find that great unique item for yourself or to give as a gift. Stop by Sticky Situation and let the ladies explain the many benefits of Honey and taste the delicious infusions. Can't wait to try the Dark Chocolate infused Honey on Chicken Fajitas😋 Then get your stones and crystals or maybe an awesome sword at Ice Imports. What a place. From incense to Armour and all in between. Don't forget to visit the Visitor Center and meet the lovely ladies, Melissa and Marie. Not only were they helpful and knowledgeable but we chatted about the old country...New York. 😉 They gave us some historical facts on Peddler's Village, explained details about surrounding communities and fun facts about the really cool sand art exhibits and how they can stay in place, even when it rains. Yes, I joined the mailing list because I can't wait for the Fall events and the Scarecrow Competition. There was so much to see and do at Peddler's Village that I need to come.

This is a great spot! Its quite large, many, many shops to meander through. Many are crazy expensive so its not your every day shopping experience but there is a ton of variety including a little something for everyone's taste and budget. We came for the scarecrow festival and did eat and shop while we were here. Spent the whole afternoon. It was quite busy and parking was a challenge but we did find some. Definitely recommended for a day out with family or friends.

You just can't go wrong here. We've been coming here for over 20 years and it's just done right. I think one of the greatest places you can go is the village itself. It's free. You don't have to pay for anything and you can just walk around and have the option to shop or dine. Sometimes the beauty of this place is just that. Walking among the shops and enjoying the nature and especially during season changes. But the other part is the availability of some absolutely incredible places to shop and eat or grab a drink. From sweet spots and bakeries to bougie places to buy clothing and seasonal outfits or even a good old-fashioned hat store and shoe store, you can also get world class koi for your koi pond or have someone build a koi pond for you. There's wine tasting and a Harry Potter themed fantasy store and even an authentic German food and cuckoo clock store. I dare anyone to try to find all of these things in one spot anywhere else in the world. Peddlers gets crowded for a reason but somehow it always seems like a bustling paradise.

This is a perfect half / full day trip from New York or New Jersey, in PA! We have been to Peddler’s village 5 times in the last 1 year. It has an old place charm, shops, restaurants, gardens and beautiful walk ways. They always decorate the place based on the season/festival or holiday. The shops here offer by unique and different products. There is ample parking and is wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend for young family and actually people of all ages. We especially enjoy stores like Sticky Situation- which the most amazing variety of natural flavored honey, cookery ware shop, pop corn shop, Fehrenback Black Forest clocks shop that transports you to Germany, knobs n’ knockers, the cloak and wand and What’s in a Name where we bought some of the oldest original maps of the world and name history.. check it out

Stroll an enchanted Village and sip tasty beverages. Find perfect gifts in 65 specialty shops and boutiques. Enjoy fine dining or casual fare in your choice of restaurants. Ride a 1920s carousel and play in the arcade. See a magnificent display of gingerbread houses. Spend the night in our elegant country inn. And enjoy the company of the people you love. For 63 years, visitors have followed the winding brick pathways of Peddler’s Village to experience exceptional dining, lodging, events, and distinctive shopping. With the variety of locally owned stores — clothing and accessories shops, toy stores, candle sellers, booksellers, art and artisan galleries, candy stores, Village swag and much more — shopping at Peddler’s Village is much more than a quick click or a simple transaction; it’s a highly enjoyable personal adventure, complete with holiday fun, helpful conversations, and memorable discoveries.

This was a place I've been meaning to visit, I learned about it last year. Saw a video on YouTube which reminded me of it and today finally made the trip.1st parking is free there multiple locations where you can park. This beautiful area offers a variety of different shops, eateries and beautiful sand sculptures. Stepping into this unique place is walking into another world which makes a great idea for a day trip specially on a nice summer day. Area has beautiful well maintained landscapes benches available to sit and relax. Definitely add this cool place to your bucket list, definitely one of the most beautiful places I've visited definitely recommended. If you're driving from nyc like I did, it was under two hours. There's also a area that offers games like arcade, play area for kids, merry go round. Definitely family friendly environment, also pet friendly. Restrooms are also available here. They also host different events throughout the year, so visiting at different seasons will feel like a different place.

Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Museum
Garden
Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is a historic estate featuring period rooms with decorative arts and a 60-acre botanical garden. The well-preserved gardens offer a natural and wild yet planned look, showcasing the opulence of the du Pont family. Visitors can tour the mansion, explore the vast grounds, and visit the museum housing items from duPont's collections. A shuttle service is available to transport visitors around the estate, making it convenient to experience all that Winterthur has to offer.
If you enjoy gardens and glorious homes you simply cannot leave this off your list of places to visit. One of my favorite things about Winterthur is how attentive the property is to attending to guest comfort. Its a massive, sprawling property so the tram tour to see the gardens and shuttle to the house are perfect and included with your entrance. Tram runs on half hour and is narrated. The narration is quite good. Just enough to explain the landscape architectural concepts without being boring. Our narrator told us...the gardens are beautiful from the tram (and easy to photograph this way as well) however nothing beats getting out and walking through these beautiful areas and Louise was correct! Such good advice. You can walk much of it without hills...do it...its too beautiful to not be experienced first hand. Natural garden concept is stunning. Highlights include the Enchanted Forest children's fairy garden, the reflective pool area where the koi are gorgeous, the March Bank, and the Sundial Garden but truly you cant go wrong with any of it. 1,000 acres and a 175 room mansion, whats not to love. Gift shop is a must see. We broke our visit into two days. 3 afternoon hours of garden on day one and then 3 morning hours of home (as rain was expected). This was JUST right! Well, well worth the price of admission. I want to come back for yuletide later in the year. Thank you!

So beautiful!!! Gorgeous rolling hills, woods, gardens and hidden gems all worthy of a long afternoon stroll. We did the self-guided house tour (170 rooms - not all open to the public but a large part of them are) very beautiful and interesting and the guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful) and wandered the wooded hills and paths. (There are trams and buses throughout the day to transport people around the gardens and to the house and museum from the visitor center.) The museum is wonderful and impressive. Ours was a premier client company event and we all enjoyed a delicious - and let me tell you, it was delicious! - buffet of chicken tarragon, braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and gravy, a wonderful salad, and their famous (and rightly so) mushroom soup! It was a delightful day and I highly recommend a nice leisurely visit!

My family had so much fun at Winterthur Museum and Gardens today. The admission was reasonable and the facilities are really nice. Beautiful buildings, exhibits and gardens. The free guided tram ride really give you a great way to get to know what you’d like to spend your time doing while you’re there. The cafe has great food, too or bring your own.

After a quick tour of the house, I aimlessly strolled the surrounding grounds and was delighted by one wonderful view after another. The autumn colors and low sun complemented each other as the strong breeze kept leaves flying. I look forward to returning in another season to enjoy the changing views.

Highly recommend. Such a beautiful place to explore and learn at the museum and grounds for children & adults. Only $5/person if you have a DE or PA access card for you and up to 3 guests. Fairy garden was cute.

Beautiful gardens and mansion with quite a variety to see. The docents in the home are knowledgeable and friendly. The Enchanted Garden is a nice spot for kids and the guided tram tour that runs hourly (30 min long appx) allows those with mobility issues a chance to see much of the estate easily.

First visited the lush ground and wooded areas of Winterthur during regional cross country track meet. Was fortunate to finally experience the house and current exhibit. It was a great experience. The staff was helpful and the tram and bus ran even more frequently during my visit due to higher temperatures. I love the idea of breaking up the visit over two days. We spent much time on the cafe (yes they have wine) and house that we have to return to visit more of the gardens! Highly recommend

While we toured the museum, we were more focused on the gardens and walking around outside. Such a cute spot! Very beautiful and well-maintained. There are some spots uphill and unshaded if it's sunny, so just wear good shoes and sunscreen. Side note - My fiance proposed by the koi pond, so if you're looking for a beautiful location and an isolated and private spot to propose to a partner, the koi pond at Winterthur is perfect!

Probably one of the most frequented malls in this area! Gigantic! All kinds of high end stores as well as regular stores. Usually crowded on weekends! Christmas holiday can be a nightmare as far as crowds but you can get great deals! Parking is always challenging here. You can find parking but sometimes it’s a headache! Different restaurants scattered throughout. Always as great place to hangout at especially if it’s hot out! Nice and cool! Clean!

King of Prussia Mall Review The King of Prussia Mall is massive and has just about every store you could think of—from luxury brands to everyday favorites. It’s clean, well-organized, and easy to spend hours exploring. There are plenty of dining options, so it’s more than just a shopping trip—it feels like a full day experience. Parking can get a little hectic during peak times, but overall the atmosphere is lively, and it’s a great place to shop, browse, and hang out.
Miss T — Google review
The largest mall in the Philly metro area with the best offerings in all of retail. Designer and luxury brands have set up shop here. Great eat out options. The best place to shop in all of PA. Plenty of parking. Very close to highways
Gautham V — Google review
The mall is great! It’s beautiful (unlike most malls in the country), has a great variety of stores, is spacious, and has plenty of natural light. However, for one of the largest malls in the country, the lack of signage is a serious issue that needs urgent improvement. There were barely any signs indicating where the stores, restrooms, or exits were. I could only find the restrooms when I was already right next to them, and I had to walk around in circles multiple times just to find specific stores. It also took me quite a while to locate an exit when I was ready to leave. For such a large and well-known shopping center, better internal signage should definitely be a priority.
Larissa R — Google review
Best mall around. No empty stores. Clean. Safe. So many stores in every price level. If you can’t find things here, you’re simply walking around with your eyes closed. Positively love this mall- we come here as often as we can being an hour and a half away. Hopefully Mall death never hits this place.
Sherry J — Google review
This mall is awesome, if you plan on coming here if your not from this area I'd recommend you get here early because this mall is huge. High end rich folk stores on the top floor and the regular folk stores are on the mid and lower floors. They have everything you want here and my legs are still hurting from all that walking. Parking is free which is great

My partner and I shot down to the KOP mall to meet a friend and we spent a couple hours walking around. Absolutely didn't hit every store we wanted to, so we will be going back! Absolutely need some money before you head here, but most purchases are worth it!

Yesterday my company held an event for our team at Amazing Escape Room in Montgomeryville and I absolutely loved it! Not only was the room that we were put in (Da Vinci) an awesome and unique experience, but our game guide Anthony was so helpful and made my experience one to remember. He even noted down our time, all the clues each of the four groups used and talked us through the final results of all of our rooms! Going even further above and beyond, he spent time at the end talking to a couple of us who were interested in doing more escape rooms. Telling us more about the rooms at this location and some around the area and even in NJ! I will definitely be back in with my family and am eager to try the other rooms in the area at different locations! Thank you for the experience!

Park
Sights & Landmarks
Valley Forge National Historical Park offers trolley and ranger-led walking tours, making it a great destination for history enthusiasts. The park features miles of trails that allow visitors to explore the Schuylkill River and Valley Creek. The River Trail provides stunning views along the Schuylkill, while the Valley Creek Trail showcases the tributary flowing into the river.
Beautiful, well maintained facilities. One of the best US National parks. Visitor center is really great. Bus tour is cherry on the top during those hot summer days or chilly winter or rain. Great options to do hiking, walking trails, biking, stretching, picnic, pets, anything you want to pursue with nature. Just go for it! And witnessing the struggling era of one of the greatest democracy and harsh stories is so much worth it!! It reminds all of us the value of freedom that we as human beings have during peace time.

I try to get out the Valley Forge national Park at least three or 3 or 4 times during the summer, what a beautiful day to walk the trails and see the sites. I love the history behind us. They have a 5 mile loop in an 8 mile loop they also have trails through the woods and also through the field. This is an absolutely beautiful park. I like watching it through the seasons there’s also an excellent visitor centerwith light snacks, artifacts and some souvenirs. They also have bathroom facilities there.

One of the top historic national parks across America. Extremely well laid out and maintained across hundreds of acres of pristine park land. Only about a half hour from Philadelphia downtown and minutes from the King of Prussia mall. Easily accessible from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, 202 and 422 highways. They have a visitors center and offer trolley tours as well. Miles of very well paved walking trails are in place. Catch some of the most beautiful sunsets in the area. Must visit with family and kids

Place is huge. Plenty of places to park around each monument area if you don’t have time to walk everywhere. Woulda took me hours to talk the whole place. Gotta buy a bike or get good at running to get around whole place. Saw a few wedding photographers and groups taking pics. They kept asking us to move so we weren’t in background. But photographers supposed to know photoshop. I guess it’s cheaper to not do, it idk? But got a lot of steps in here. Some of the cabins have historical stuff also. The visitor center was closed cause the government shut down!!! Had to find another place at Wawa to use the bathroom!!!

Other than the government shutdown, (no restrooms) this place was amazing. We learned so much. We were here the first week in November, colors were beautiful. Not too many ppl, the ones we saw and interacted with were kind and engaging. The park ranger we talked to was kind and very helpful. We did the auto tour and it was exceptional.

I had no idea how large this park is! My family was here on a blustery fall Sunday and the main trail was very busy at 9 am. We did the driving tour because of our young kids and the weather. Having the NPS app was very helpful. The government was shut down on our visit so I can't speak to the visitor's center but would love to come back and see it and chat with park rangers and volunteers. The park itself is beautiful, especially in the fall. It is a lovely place to take pictures and spend a nice day outside.

We visited on a late Sunday morning in late June 2025. There were plenty of parking spots in the visitor center parking lot. There were a few spots that were shaded under trees. There is also a restroom facility here with water fountain and a Bike Rental shed. It was kind of a hike from the parking lot up to the visitor center. We got our NPS passport cancellation stamps first when we walked in. Then we were told the park film was about to start in the adjacent building so we ran up the stairs and outside to the next building. There were a bunch of signs to point you in the right direction but it was not intuitive. The park film is 19-mins long and plays on the hour and half-hour from 9:30AM to 4:30PM. It's a fairly large theater it plays in. We also grabbed our Junior Ranger books for the kids from the info desk so they were working on it during the film. After the film was over we walked back over to the visitor center and back down the stairs. There were some exhibits at the top of the top of the stairs as well but not many. Then explored the gift shop which was quite large and to the left when you walk into the visitor center. They had a lot of merch specific for Valley Forge National Historical Park which was great. We grabbed some pins and a rubber duck. If you walk to the right when you enter the visitor center there is a large exhibit area. It's pretty huge. One of the largest indoor ones I've seen. There are a number of interactive exhibits to keep the kids entertained as well. We walked around and explored and took pictures in here while kids finished junior ranger and played. We turned junior ranger books in and got the badges before we headed out to see some of the sites. We first stopped at the winter encampment which had a number of log huts each with exhibits inside. There was also a reenactor/interpreter in one of them. Good for a 10 min stop. Then we stopped at the National Memorial Arch. We where hear close to noon and it was hard to get a nice photo. The best place was actually form underneath in it's shadow. Sadly there were a number of people here and hard to get a photo with no one else in it. You park at the bottom of the hill and have to walk up to the arch. It is a caved walkway. We stopped next at Washington's Headquarters. There was restrooms here next to parking lot. You walk down the winding path to the Valley Forge Train Station which had a number of exhibits inside. You continue down the path to Washington's Headquarters. There are multiple rooms here to explore and up stairs. The trail is a loop so you goa round and make your way back to the top. The last stop we made was at Washington Memorial Chapel. It just looked so cool on the outside. You are able to walk into the bottom of the tower and look around. There are some signs. There is also a store and cafe in the back of the church but this is an actual church and has services and we were there on a Sunday. Overall this place was huge and we skipped so many things but we were on a tight itinerary and we need to head out. We spent over 2 hrs exploring Valley Forge National Historical Park and I feel we barely scratched the surface.

Longwood Gardens is truly one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. The gardens are perfectly maintained, with stunning flower displays, elegant fountains, and an amazing variety of plants from all over the world. Every corner feels like a new discovery — from the breathtaking conservatory to the vibrant outdoor meadows. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to share interesting facts about the plants and history of the gardens. The fountain shows are absolutely spectacular, especially in the evening when the lights and music create a magical atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone who wants to relax and enjoy some quiet time surrounded by beauty. Whether you visit in spring, summer, fall, or during the holiday season, Longwood Gardens never fails to impress.

This is one of the more spread out gardens I've been to. Be ready to walk and wander about. It isn't a criticism just a fact that you will need to walk between features along nicely paved walking paths. The conservatories were amazing! Their chrysanthemums were phenomenal. The bonsai collection and potting shed were super cool and we really like how well labeled and informative everything was. Super impressed. I would recommend to anyone needing an activity in the area!
Jess C — Google review
So many different gardens! Themed areas include natives/ woodland, Italianate, French, topiary, "idea" for plant combination inspiration and the greenhouses/ conservatories. Amazing collections and demonstration areas ensure there's always something to see despite changing seasons and outdoor dormancy. Lots of great places for kids to play inside and outside. Clever structures/ vistas/ use of planting groups mean there's always something to see around the next corner or path. Gardens and displays engage all senses and displays are at every level from ground to air. The silver room is breathtaking. Plenty of places for food and rest/ breaks throughout the property. Staff will stop and chat with you whenever you ask questions and seem genuinely happy to share their knowledge.

It's a beautiful experience if you enjoy botany or nature. No matter what path you take here it's gonna be a fun but it's gonna be a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I was here for 5 hours and only made it halfway througn the gardens. I did stop by 1906 which a restrant in the gardens and just wow is it nice. Try the botanist lemonade if you get the chance. The staff there are wanderful, and food was awesome both in taste but in how its presented. I'm definitely going back.

Longwood Gardens is always beautiful during the holidays. I went on opening night and, despite the crowds, everything was well organized. We parked in the overflow lot, took the shuttle, and they even boarded our stroller, which made things so much easier. We spent about two hours exploring the lights and displays, and it was truly magical. The staff was friendly, the decorations were stunning, and my toddler loved it. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you have little ones.

Went there last week for the Chrysanthemum exhibition and it was beautiful! Ive been going to Longwood Gardens at least 2-3 times a year since 2021? And I get questioned by my friends as to why I don’t have a membership yet😂 I love it here so much. The details into the exhibitions, the staff are so friendly and helpful. I notice that there is a lot of wheelchair accessibility also! This is a wonderful place to be at to spend a day looking at nature, for some peace of mind. I will always recommend this place to visit💛 the pictures attached below are from my visits within the last year 🤩😅💛

The table suddenly became very busy, and the dealer kept blowing cards, but they changed 4 dealers within 10 minutes. The staff called a few people to look at it, and said it was very strange, as if we were cheating. , they said they were going to close this desk and they were going to get off work. No way, the rules of the game are theirs. The next day, I went to the same table and kept losing. The dealer kept getting 20 and 21 points. I asked the staff when the table would be closed today. The dealer told me that in addition to changing the cards, the table would be replaced with new cards. , will not be closed. Yes, shameless behavior can only make you lose, not win. When you are lucky, they keep changing people to deal cards, or close the table directly. There is no justice at all... don't go gambling in this place, their behavior is so bad

Bush league services and amenities. Unhealthy conditions and clown shoes service. It is clear there has been a recent management change for the worse. Our stay started with the front desk being unable to locate our reservation. Despite it being made months ahead of time. Next my coworker discovered that our shower would not drain. When maintenance arrived they pulled 3 hair extensions worth of hair out of the drain. They have done away with complimentary breakfast (which my coworker would not stop complaining about for our week long stay), the attached restaurants are over priced. One night I ordered medium steak, at "market price", and received a brunt piece of charcoal that was no where near worth what I had paid for the meal. Next security saw fit to give my company vehicle a "parking warning" threatening to boot or tow it. With no explanation for the warning. The vehicle was legally and parked in a valid area. No signage, no markings, no attempt to contact me. When I contacted them, they admitted that the warning should not have been issued. It never occurred to them that the vehicle was parked for more than 24 hours, because the guests were staying for longer than 24 hours. All these above mentioned things are annoying but what is unforgivable is my coworker and I both observed the house keeping staff clean our room one day. The house keeper took the reusable glasses and coffee mugs, washed them in the room's sink without soap, and replaced them. There were no new glasses or mugs on her cart, so this must be a standard thing for this staff. Dog feces located everywhere in the landscaping and parking lot. The room does not have a microwave and the refrigerator barely cools drinks at the max setting. The computers in the "business center" in the lobby are running illegitimate copies of Windows, the styling of the rooms and public areas are clearly cheap and tacky. The free wifi is open, public, and not in the least bit secure. It is clear the powers that be are cutting corners where ever possible. In short, anyone staying here should not expect the most basic level of customer service and expectations to be met. For the cost of the room alone, I would expect NONE of these issues, let alone one of them to be experienced during a week long stay. The only people that have any idea of what they are doing is the polite and professional maintenance staff. But that is not enough for me to reserve a room here next time.

Reserved a room for Friday Night May 11. Arrived to check-in only to be rudely informed By an employee at registration desk that despite having an itinerary Number with a Confirmation Number confirming our reservation, They were over booked and they had no rooms available. After 15 minutes of waiting the hotel manager (I guess as she never Identified herself) rudely offered to shuttle us to another hotel off site. I recommend not wasting your time visiting the Sand Casino. Your better off visiting another resort.

Wasn't allowed to bring my 20yr old son through the casino to eat at Emeril's Burgers and More. Don't know why security couldn't escort us to the restaurant. Last thing we wanted to do was waste money on the slots. All we wanted was a bite to eat. Security said the only option was the food court. Definitely not worth it.

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom

Temporarily Closed
$$$$affordable
Amusement park
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, located between Allentown and Emmaus, is a top tourist attraction offering over sixty thrilling rides and rollercoasters for the whole family. Established in 1884, this amusement park boasts hair-raising thrill rides alongside options suitable for children. The park also features a large waterpark with wet and wild attractions. Visitors can enjoy live entertainment, special events, and Planet Snoopy for the little ones.
The experience at this amusement park was truly amazing. From the entrance you feel a cheerful and well-organized atmosphere. The attractions are very varied: roller coasters for the most adventurous, family games and special areas for small children. Everything is very clean and well maintained, which gives security and confidence. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help, either to give information or to make the experience more fun. The shows and parades were also a strong point, full of music, lights and color. The food inside the park has a good variety, from snacks to more complete dishes, with reasonable prices for a tourist place. In general, it is an ideal place to spend a different day with family or friends, full of fun, adrenaline and unforgettable memories. I would definitely come back!
Brayner F — Google review
I found it very nice and organized. It's a beautiful park, and the attractions are really fun. A good mix of modern and traditional. Some vintage rides add a special touch. The only thing they urgently need is better integration with the Six Flags system. You can't enter with your ticket through the Six Flags app, even with the All Parks package, as it doesn't work, so you have to wait in a long line at Guest Services. Also, because there's no integration with the SF system, I had to pay for parking and request a refund at Guest Services, or I wouldn't be able to enter, even though I was entitled to the benefit. Anyway, I hope they fix this integration once and for all so I can give them 5 stars.

While I do love Dorney and always have a great time there, the pricing for food/ drinks is already insane but having to pay almost $40 FOR PARKING, is criminal. The haunt was dope, all the shows and performers were great, (the skeleton crew show) was my favorite though. Lines for the coasters were short, was able to get on everything, even sit in the front. The lines for the "Haunt Attractions" were quite long though. Hopefully pricing becomes more consumer friendly in the future as I believe I had to pay $15 extra in service fees when ordering my ticket online.

I really enjoyed this park , it has a very charming feel to it imo . It's a decent sized amusement park ( I expected it to be much smaller) . The water park portion looked to be really nice as well. The layout is decent here , but there are some steep hills to walk. I was really impressed with Possessed , Steel Force , Talon and Iron Menace. I also loved that Chickie's and Pete's is on the dining plan here!! Also growing up going to Cedar Point all my life it was wonderful to see the Demon Drop still running great and getting to ride it was awesome!!
J — Google review
Overall, the park is really nice and offers plenty of fun attractions. However, I think they should limit the number of guests allowed in each day because it was extremely crowded, and the lines were very long. Some staff members provided great service, while others seemed uninterested in being there. My son had a great time, and it’s definitely a wonderful place for kids. I recommend reserving tickets online, as it’s cheaper than buying at the gate. Some restrooms were clean, but others were smelly and not well-maintained. The park itself is clean overall and has a nice selection of food and snacks, though the food is definitely overpriced. Get the season pass even it’s its first one day you save way more money. You can also bring a friend for 20$.

Dorney Park is always our favorite theme park probably because it's more reasonable compared to to the other park you paid a ticket for dry and water park, We took my sisters family in here for the first time she have 3 young kids and I'am proud to say that they love the water park, her kids is none stop playing on wave pool and lazy river, we came on opening at 11 and we got a nice shaded lounger area, the only downside is the customer service told us that season pass holder can get in early and we did not see anybody by the water park gate that letting season pass holder get in, we got so happy but got disappointed right there, they even put season pass entrance sign but like others we waited till 11 to get in, so this thing is false advertising and reason I only gave 4 star, But as always Dorney park is clean the bath area is decent the bathroom is maintained the best part is the all day dining that me and my kids truly enjoyed thru out the day. I highly recommend to avail all day dining to everybody you will not regret it, and season pass pays off we are coming back again specially on October for their Halloween.

The stadium offers great views of the game and has received awards for its attendance levels. It's a perfect place for families to enjoy a fun night out with various activities for kids and adults alike.
Beautiful old ballpark! Absolutely first class stadium! The food is great, service is first class & the views are beautiful! Love the old style of this classic old ballpark! We went during the mega fireworks, absolutely amazing show! The Fightins won & we got to see some fireworks, what more could you ask for!
Mike B — Google review
Very family friendly. All the seats in the ballpark are close to the field. And the price is right. Food was good. Parking good but a nightmare getting out of there! Added another 40 minutes on our hour drive home. Lots of fun being had in the park. It was Star Wars Night and Fire Works which were some of the best I've seen.
Diane M — Google review
Great ballpark to visit. Good prices. Nice long firework show after the ballgame. Fun mascot concert before the game and got several mascot autographs. Parking is free and close and yes you will wait getting out at the end but that is common at most any game or concert. Recommend.
Michael G — Google review
This ballpark is a gem! I was there for a high school reunion in the adjacent Redners Event Center and saw the game perfectly, but looking around, it seemed that there were no bad seats in the stadium at all! And you could see the amazing and extensive fireworks display at the end of the game with great clarity. I also took the time to check out the concessions and sports clothing store while there, quite a lot on offer. There was even a live small concert going on in the concession area at the end of the game. Definitely kid-friendly, and fun for couples, young and old. Parking lot and street parking after 5 pm was free but the roads in and out are one lane, basically, so prepare for a wait. You park at your own risk.

I would give 5 stars except I could not find gluten free. I bought fries but couldn't get a meal. I was told I could take the hot dog out of the roll. Obviously I cannot do that, as I have Celiac. I guess not enough of us who attend games have food intolerance. The seats are good, the fans are all friendly, the parking is free, unless you want to buy reserved, and food items are not as expensive as at regular team concessions. Even saw awesome fireworks.

Blue Mountain Resort, nestled between the Niagara Escarpment and Gregorian Bay, offers a picturesque setting for year-round activities. With 42 trails across 364 skiable acres, it's a haven for skiers and snowboarders. The resort also features family-friendly attractions and an indoor/outdoor Scandinave spa for relaxation. Located just 90 miles from Philadelphia and New York, it's a popular destination known for its long ski runs.
Blue Mountain has the most vertical of any ski resort in Pennsylvania. We hiked to the top today and had a great time making our way up the trail from the base. There were also a ton of mountain bikers at the resort today, too, so this must be a great place to downhill bike as well.
A R — Google review
1st time I camped here I had am amazing experience but the 2nd time I had a bad experience so im giving this place 2 and half star. We rented Camp group site C for and bought firewood and charcoal and used there BBQ grill. I spent totel of about 1000$ for a 1 night camping experience. For a large group. First off, The view was amazing. ( could of been better) The service at the front office is amazing. The camp ground workers are horrible and lazy. The security and camp ground police are amazing and respectful. I felt very safe. Things that PISSED ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right in front of the camp tents are 2 giant trailers ruining the entire view. I asked the camp ground workers to move it and they said no because they cant move them. So now I paid 700 bucks to stare at trailers all day long when I could of stared at the mountain and nature. Also when we were playing infront of the tents, we had to crawl under the trailers to get the ball and Frisbee. It was annoying to deal with. They could of parked it anywhere else. Even 15 feet to the left and it would of made the world of a difference. The portable bathroom that they had near the site was extremely Dirty!!!!!! You can tell no one cleaned it in weeks. No toilet paper and pee everywhere. We just drove to the base of the camp to use the bathrooms at the office. The ziplining and rope course and summer adventure stuff opens at 10 and close at 4!!!!! Which means after we checked in at 3pm we couldn't even do the activities except for taking the lift up the mountain. This place is designed for people who go camping for multiple days. Not good for camping 1 night!!!!! The garbage bins were clean and the campfires were nice and organized. The grass was cut good. The tents were beautiful. Showers were clean. The parking lot is spacious. The view from the Summit was amazing. The stargazing at night was breathtaking. Overall I was going to give it 2 stars but because I had a good experience the first time I gave it 2 and half stars. The camp ground workers ruined the experience for us. I wish I could of went to another camping resort and tried other place instead of this place.

Great experience. They let you pick your own Tent site if you are early enough and it isn’t crowded. I definitely recommend camping here. I also tried the restaurant out and it was really amazing and fairly priced.

Blue Mountain Resort is a fantastic winter destination with plenty of activities for all ages. The skiing and snowboarding trails are well-groomed, offering options for beginners and experienced riders alike. The lifts are efficient, and the staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. One of the highlights of our visit was the tubing area. There are three hills dedicated to tubing, and unlike many other resorts, they were not crowded at all. This meant little to no wait time, allowing us to go down the slopes multiple times without long lines. The runs were fast and exciting, making it a perfect activity for families and groups looking for some winter fun.

seemed to be a great spot for the winter with a lot of outdoor space/ bar area right on slopes. Food was just okay for the price. Would recommend if at mountain

This is top notch hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking ANYTHING outdoors. The amount of inventory is unbelievable. The animal displays are mountains high. On those mountains; mounted animals with signs of what each animal is. Not only is it one of the best shopping experiences but it is educational. They even have a target practice area reflecting the gold mine era. (So cool!) My son and I visited for 3 hours and honestly could have stayed longer. Thanks Cabela’s for having us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park is a thrilling destination that offers an array of experiences for animal lovers. The park boasts over 160 species of exotic animals, including parrots, reptiles, alligators, and pythons. Visitors can enjoy up-close encounters with various creatures at the petting zoo and catch exciting animal shows during the summer and fall seasons. Additionally, guests have the opportunity to feed giraffes and turtles while also enjoying activities like deer and lamb petting.
My daughter and I visited today!! We had the BEST time. Love the setup doesn’t feel commercialized feels like a zoo. I think the price to get in was reasonable. The snack bar was reasonable and the variety of animals is very good. Some of the enclosures do seem a tad small but the animals look well taken care of. We will definitely be back. This was a first time visit for us!!
Vanessa B — Google review
This zoo offers a unique experience with interactive animal feedings, including giraffes, goats, and deer, and a close-up view of animals like lions, tigers, and wolves. The staff was friendly and informative. The price to enter was reasonable. It was clean and well-maintained. We did order from the snack stand, options were limited but prices were reasonable as well. It does look like other families packed meals which is good to know..
John T — Google review
This zoo pleasantly surprised us. Alot of great animals and a chance to see them up close and personal. Jethro the giraffe stole the show. Such a sweet and kind animal.Drew his handler was beyond awesome. Took time to explain and answer any questions we had. Zoo is perfect for kids and adults. Certainly will keep visiting this zoo when ever we are in this area.

We spent the most amazing day at Claws N Paws celebrating our daughter’s 6th birthday! 🌿 It was so peaceful — we arrived first thing in the morning and practically had the place to ourselves. A beautiful walk through the woods paired with so many incredible animals made it such a special experience. The girls loved every moment (and so did we!). Highly recommend for a family day out!
Amanda H — Google review
Well, we spent a little over 2 hours there. The animals were housed apart nicely, so there was a good bit of walking. We found the walkways a bit rough, but truly, we are in the poconos with trees and a variety of weather. It kind of added to the atmosphere. The walkways were very wide...so easy to accommodate large groups. Def a big variety of animals...and well cared for. My granddaughter enjoyed it, especially being able to see the animals eating and moving around. I think it def would be a place to stop in. As described, it truly is open air ..so you may want to double check the weather forecast.
Brenda D — Google review
It was a good surprise. I mean, there is nothing fancy about this zoo. It is in the middle of the woods and it is pretty small but we were impressed by the animals they have. When we went there, there was not many people so you can easily see it all in an hour. The only thing is the feeding times, where it is worth waiting and doing it with the star of the zoo, which is the giraffe. People who works here are extremely nice as well. If you are in the area is a good option for young kids, we took our 4 years old kid and he loved it.
Fernando D — Google review
We very much enjoyed this little zoo. There were animals and experiences here that we can’t see or get at our zoo at home. Loved that it was mostly shaded so even on a warm day it was enjoyable to walk around. The enclosures are a bit dated compared to other bigger zoos but the animals seemed happy and content. We saw lots of zookeepers around caring for the animals. My daughter especially loved feeding the tortoises and the lorikeets. We had a really fun day here.
Lisa P — Google review
The kids loved it. I was there a long time ago and it was awesome and more interactive. Needs a bit of an update and the cages cleaned. As an adult I have a hard time seeing animals in cages but I'm sure they wouldn't live long in the wild being in captivity for so long and I know most of them are rescue animals.

Steamtown National Historic Site

Mentioned on 
39 lists 
Rail museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Steamtown National Historic Site offers a fascinating journey through the history of steam locomotives and their impact on transportation in Pennsylvania. Visitors can explore museum exhibitions featuring locomotives, photographs, and insights into the lives of railroad workers. The site also includes a roundhouse where technicians conduct daily activities and repairs on trains. This 52-acre property features restored steam locomotives, cabooses, freight wagons, and passenger coaches from the early twentieth century.
Great museum we decided to visit spur of the moment. No admission but we did pay $6 a person for a short ride into town and back. So many beautiful engines and train cars from various companies. The staff are so polite and everyone we spoke to was eager to share their knowledge. I was very impressed with cleanliness of the place and you can see that this museum is well cared for. We did not take the short walk to the trolley museum located across from the train yard but we are planning of visiting again in the near future.
A. W — Google review
Amazing Place to visit while in Scranton PA! Very kid friendly, and interesting for the whole family. You can pay for a ticket to ride their trolley and train ride, which explains the history of the area. There is also the turntable + roundhouse museum, which houses lots of relics and trains, all of which is free to see. Overall an amazing place to stop by whenever you have free time, plus it's a short walk over the bridge to the Steamtown Marketplace & Trolly Museum!

I was 6 years old the last time I saw Union Pacific Big boy 4012 at steam town Bellows falls Vermont. Steam town Cranston Pennsylvania was awesome to visit. The museum is well put together with a good selection of steam, oil, and diesel locomotives. There is a lot to see, from the parking lot to the round house and the technology museum. I went in November so the cab to 4012 was closed for the season. I will be back in the summer to see the inside of Big boy 4012.

This is another wow, wow, wow moment. Had no idea stopping to check Scanton PA out was going to yield this awesome find. This place was loaded with all kinds of history. Obviously you have to be a person interested in history to appreciate this kind of site. But how could you not be? This may be the best preserved site in America dedicated to the railroad, and steam engine. I'm so glad that this is somehow funded for our citizens to be able to enjoy. It's so cool to see the kids be in awe of these trains. I know growing up, I was interested in trains as well.
Brian D — Google review
This is a very big site with plenty to see. It's pretty confusing to know where to go. I went to the trolley museum and steam town. There's is actually another museum called the technology museum by steam also that I think is work checking out. It's very interesting seeing the history of the rail system and how Scranton became known as the electric city. There are guided tours that take about an hour and brings you to where they work on restoration of different trains.
Erik Z — Google review
I’ve been to Steamtown now 3 times. The NPS staff and Rangers are always extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Plenty of Parking, easy to get to with GPS. Museum inside is awesome, outside displays are unique. There are usually daily rides on one of trains, and occasionally longer excursions for a price.
Steve B — Google review
Even if you're in Scranton for the Office, make sure you go here! I found out they had one of the 8 remaining Big Boy trains and had to stop by. It's out in the parking lot and is beautifully restored. The museum is free. Staff are all friendly. There's easily a half day of stuff to see, but you could easily spend a full day here. Lots of beautiful trains and very thorough and informative walk through exhibits. I ran out of time and didn't have a chance to walk on the walkway above the rail yard, or go to the electric trolley museum. You will not be disappointed!

Couldn't get in due to Federal Shutdown, but posting a few details re parking etc. Large free of charge car park is shared with the Trolley Museum. There are signs for RV and Van parking too. Plenty of blue badge parking spaces. There are many picnic tables and benches, some under cover around the car park. Some locos around the car park Hope to return one day and go inside.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Animal park with 100 species, offering hands-on encounters with animals and educational talks.
Great zoo! Just an hour outside Scranton, PA. Beautiful paved walkways great for strollers and wheelchairs. Beautiful clean enclosures for the animals. Greatest part for toddlers or kiddos is you get to feed the animals. You can buy a bucket of food for a separate cost. It’s like a giant petting zoo but with zoo animals! Safe! As there is tubes to send the food to the animals. Highly recommend.
Stephanie M — Google review
We visited both parks on the same day, and I recommend starting with the Zoo first. Buy your tickets there, as you’ll get a discount for the Safari. The Safari took about 30–45 minutes, depending on how often animals stopped us in search of food. Passing through different sections felt like going through a toll booth—only instead of attendants, curious animals were waiting to be fed. It was a very fun and interactive experience, but be careful—some animals will stand right in front of your car. The Zoo portion was okay, although most animals were either sleeping or hiding from the sun and heat. We still managed to see tigers, lions, and a variety of farm animals. Next time, I’d like to try the VIP experience for a closer look at the animals. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit! 😉
ÜNSAL T — Google review
Very nice zoo. The walk though is easy and not very long. You do get alot more up close views of the animals that larger zoos dont offer. I highly recommend doing the safari. You use your own vehicle and have animals coming to say hi throughout the ride. It took us about 1 hrs to drive though. The animals will stick their heads in your car to feed. Get some cool selfies and give children a unique experience they'll remember forever. Buy the feed buckets. Its kind of expensive but makes the experience so much better:)
Jonathan S — Google review
We went here with our local friends. We had a wonderful time! This place has such a wide variety of animals. Everything was clean and well maintained. The ability to pet and feed so many animals is an experience unlike any other. I do wish some of the enclosures had more going on for some of the animals as some seemed bored (pacing)... But every staff member we saw was caring and attentive.
Sarah A — Google review
Considering it is 20 minutes outside of Binghamton, this place is great. The Zoo itself is a good size, for sure, and it’s spacious, modernized, and relaxing. The layouts of the animal exhibits is well thought out, offering the chance to see most of the animals. The Preserve / car park is much larger than I expected, with major themed sections of the leisurely drive. Overall, the animals are very docile and friendly, with the chance to feed many of them.

I think I may have had more fun than my grand kids and they loved it. The animals were beautiful and to see them so close was amazing. There were white a few cars at the gate but everyone guess at their own pace and once inside we didn't really see any cars until the end

What a great experience. The animals are so well taken care of, the staff was friendly. We went to the zoo first and then the safari, and spent 3 hours between the 2. We will definitely be back.

Well worth the drive for our first visit. Both parks were well kept and very clean. You can clearly see how well the animals are taken care of. As a mom of two young ones I really appreciated the baby spots offered around the park that were cooled with AC and private/clean changing areas. Highly recommend visiting both parks, we did the walk through first and were given a discount for the drive through after.

Greek Peak Mountain Resort, located in Cortland, is a popular destination for active families and adrenaline-loving teens. The resort features an Adventure Center with thrilling activities such as a mountain coaster, zip-lines, ropes challenge courses, and the Virtusphere virtual reality adventure. Additionally, visitors can enjoy mountain biking trails, a tubing center, and Euro bungee.
I've been here at least 10 times now. We enjoy ourselves every time. The water park is small compared to other places like great wolf lodge or Kalahari. The smaller park works for me. It may not be suitable for older children or adults. There's a bar and restaurant on sight. Across the street, they have mountain coaster and zip lining. The rooms are nice and they're quiet at night. This is good for a 1 or 2 night stay.

I thought the place was great. Scenic views, a pool, water rides, great food, great staff and the list goes on and on. I did have two issues. In my experience, I had to pay for anything with plastic - no cash. And, my shower drain was clogged and I couldn’t get it fixed until the next day. However, it was great. The staff was awesome. I’m probably going to go skiing there this upcoming winter.

Very clean, professional and friendly staff. My boys love coming here! We enjoyed the s'mores kit, Starbucks coffee and the Greek Peak Salad.

Thank you to Hope, the manager for assisting in a slight issue that we had.

Went to Greak Peak for a birthday getaway. Awesome place to stay so much stuff to do in one central location. Definitely recommend the steakhouse in the lobby ...fantastic food.

Only went to the fall festival. Didn't get to ride the coaster because the line was too long and they close immediately at 6pm. And the part of the line we were at wouldn't not make it in by then. N they offers no accomadations. I would have came back on Sunday to be able to ride it. Needless to say lesson learned and will not participate in their fall festival next yr.

This is a very nice location. It is a timeshare property so it's not a conventional hotel. It was pricey, but it is a resort. Would be ideal for a fall getaway with the coaster ride and zip line!

So we booked a room for an up come a for Cortland College. Looked amazing looking forward to staying Booked through Expedia. NEVER once had a problem with EXPEDIA. Got a call from the hotel that Expedia overbooked us coincidentally the same time 2 Weddings were going in that weekend and 12 other cancellations had to be made!!! That is just saying they needed the rooms for the wedding guest instead which we booked way back in August. So will never use this Hotel at all. And why didn’t they catch the overbooked rooms back then ??!!!!

I booked a 3-night stay at Greek Peak Mountain Resort through Groupon for a baseball tournament. The listing gave the impression that room included a kitchen, and we paid over $1,000 expecting a quality room with amenities. The website stated that all suites included kitchens. I phoned to confirm and was directed to an automated attended and when I asked ”Does my room include a kitchen?” the response was “All suites include a kitchen with a full sized fridge.” I went ahead and bought groceries for our stay. When I got to the hotel and checked in, I inquired about the kitchen, I was informed that there was no kitchen. Staff seemed indifferent, stating that some rooms have kitchens, some don’t. When I got inside the room, there was not even a fridge. To make matters worse, another family on our team — who booked the exact same Groupon deal and paid the same price — was given a huge, two-floor suite with a full kitchen and modern furnishings. This is clearly unfair and misleading. The worst part was the attitude of the staff. Not interested in accommodating my children and my needs. I have never posted a negative review but I want to make my experience heard. Would never stay here again, and recommend people avoid this location.

Buttermilk Falls State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Nestled in 811 acres of lush wooded parkland, Buttermilk Falls State Park offers a plethora of outdoor recreational opportunities. The park features hiking paths, a serene lake, a stunning waterfall, and well-equipped campgrounds for nature enthusiasts. Located just 10 minutes away from the Robert H. Treman State Park area, Buttermilk Falls is often considered even more picturesque than its renowned neighbor.
Beauty around every corner. The gorge trail starts with a ton of stairs, but there are 2 falls just on the way up. The climb is worth the view. There are multiple falls along the trail all relatively close giving you amazing photo opportunities. There is a swimming area at the bottom of the falls right near the parking area and restrooms. There are also camping and picnicking areas. This is one of my favorite waterfall trails out of the many in the area

I came here with a couple friends while visiting from out of state. The waterfall system was pretty cool to see and the trail was well maintained. There are some wetter spots on the trail from the falls and plenty of stairs, so I'd be mindful of these things as you traverse it. It's a cool spot that plenty of people were seeming to enjoy. There are also trails leading off the falls if someone wanted to hike longer and I thought that was cool. 5 stars from me!

This is a nice well-kept state park much like many of the New York State parks we visited. Unfortunately at the time we visited (early August 2025), there wasn’t enough rain in the past few days which resulted in just a trickle to be seen on the main falls. But the staff was very helpful in guiding us to the Gorge Trail from the Lower Park area (main area) to see the other falls and pools. It is a hike up with trail and steps of about 1/2 mile and you can see 5-6 smaller waterfalls which look great. The main falls at the parking area also has a nice pool area - clean and clear water.

A beautiful park with a waterfall. Ideal for families wanting to enjoy a picnic or do camping. Great outdoor activities for kids. Lots of cabins built inside the park for families to book and enjoy. 10 USD Vehicle entry and parking fee. Loved the beauty of the place.

Buttermilk Falls is absolutely stunning! The trails are well-marked and offer something for everyone — from easy scenic walks to more adventurous hikes with beautiful waterfall views at every turn. The cascading falls and natural pools look like something out of a postcard, and the sound of the water is so peaceful. The park is clean, family-friendly, and perfect for a summer swim or a quiet nature escape. Don’t forget your camera — every corner is photo-worthy. Definitely one of the most beautiful spots in New York!

Easy waterfall to visit. Plenty of parking spaces, picnic tables and clean bathrooms available. You can walk right up to the falls with no hiking required if that is what you are looking for. Hiking optional.
Shana D — Google review
Absolutely love this park and falls. It is very easy to access from parking area and does have trails if you want to hike or explore the other parts of the falls and see some great views from other areas. This is by far one of my absolute favorite places.

Gorge trail is closed starting mid Oct this season except weekends. $10 parking fee. It was quiet wet and muddy trail so ensure to have hiking shoes and poles.

Robert H. Treman State Park, also known as Enfield Glen, is a must-visit destination near Ithaca, NY. The park features a picturesque gorge with stunning waterfalls and a stream-fed swimming hole surrounded by hiking trails and camping areas. While the initial part of the gorge trail is relatively flat and meandering, the northern end offers breathtaking sights including giant waterfalls and epic gorges that leave visitors in awe of nature's beauty.
Absolutely amazing Park!!! The waterfalls are just amazing! And it's absolutely beautiful and you can actually swim in a couple of the waterfall pools underneath the fall. Only when an approved lifeguard is there if you have children. absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend that you make that a definite stop when exploring.

We went here on a weekday. Pretty quite and less crowded on a weekday. The Gorge trail was little treacherous but it was worth it. A great view of the waterfalls. Make sure you do this hike on a pleasant weather. Sunny day might kill you
Ashish K — Google review
Not a popular state parks so we came here with less expectations and were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful hikes. Gorge trail was pretty flat hike. Lots of waterfalls to see till the 115 ft Lucifer falls. We saw folks taking the rim trail too to view the Lucifer falls from the viewing deck. Trail to the swimming hole Enfield Glen falls has a pretty flat trail. Not very crowded too. But swimming was closed when we reached at 4 pm. Folks can take the trail from the lower to the upper entrance but we drove as they have parking lots in both places.

Starting from the Old Mill, the Gorge Trail is an unforgettable hike through some of the most stunning natural scenery in the region. The trail winds along dramatic rock formations carved by centuries of water flow, with cascading waterfalls and lush greenery at every turn. The stone steps and ledges offer breathtaking views—but also call for good, sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven and slippery in spots. This is a mild to moderate hike that rewards every step with visual splendor. The sound of rushing water and the cool shade of the gorge make it a refreshing escape on a warm day. Whether you're an avid hiker or just out for a scenic walk, this trail is a must-see.
Mavis A — Google review
Well worth the hike to see the upper falls! Take the gorge trail to see the best view of the upper falls. It is a nice hike with lots of stairs, tree roots and rocks. There are about 100 steps when you get Close to the point with the best views... But worth the hike!
Greg M — Google review
A must see whenever you are visiting Ithaca!!! Beautiful stony trail that takes you to an amazing array of cascades and waterfalls throughout the park!!! Lucifer falls was the highlight of my day!!! Trail has lots of steps so take your time when visiting and enjoy the views!!

This hike was unexpectedly breathtaking. The views are amazing. Felt like a scene from a movie. Takes approximately 45 mins but we spent far more time than that just admiring the views all around.

Rosamond Gifford Zoo

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
The Rosamond Gifford Zoo, located in Burnet Park, spans 43 acres and is home to over 700 animals, including endangered species like Asian elephants, Amur tigers, snow leopards, Humboldt penguins, and a giant Pacific octopus. The zoo offers both indoor and outdoor exhibits as well as special events and educational programs for all ages.
This is an awesome zoo. The animals seem well taken care of, their enclosures are clean and vibrant. You can see the whole zoo in about 2 hours. There are random shows throughout the day and staff placed around the zoo with props to show and tell the kids some fun facts about specific animals. Noticed they have a saranac booth set up w snacks now near the elephants. Great place for the family.
Jessica F — Google review
An excellent small zoo. Not a huge number of animals, but some really interesting one that I've not seen in other zoos. Aside from the buildings with animal displays, there is also a series of freshly paved walking paths to outdoor exhibitions. Some of these paths are on fairly steep hills. At some of the outdoor displays there are very nice observation platforms with shade. Unlikely that we'll be back due to its location (4 hours away), but it was well worth the trip
Steve K — Google review
Had a great time we got there early enough to see all the animals out and active as they were waiting for their lunch, as we walked around for a second time we noticed some animals tucked them selves away, or were able to see some sleeping such as the bear. He was so cute sleeping !
Amanda — Google review
Went the day after Halloween when the zoo feeds the leftover pumpkins to the animals and it was wonderful! But even going when there isn't an event us a great experience. Personally I prefer going in the Fall/Winter because the animals are so lively and energetic - plus far fewer crowds than Sping/Summer. It's not terribly big, but kids will stay engaged for a good 1.5 hours. Definitely visit!
Ashley O — Google review
Very nice Zoo with an amazing conference center for businesses. You can leisurely walk the loop to see all the outside animals (including elephants!) And there's an inside aquarium walk through with a bird sanctuary.

Such a lovely time to bond with our family! Very convenient. It felt like a far trip while being really close to home. My kids love it everytime we go.

The variety of animals seem very content and well provided for! Very interactive experience, and the distance in between outdoor exhibits gives you plenty of time for snack/water breaks. The twin baby elephants were a super bonus for our zoo experience.
Sarah S — Google review
My 3 year old loved it. George the camel was his favorite animal. The donkey was a close 2nd. The place was so clean and the staff was super nice. At the end of the loop we stopped in the cafe for lunch and it was really good food! Only thing that would be cool is if the domesticated animals petting area was back.

This place is huge. Way back in 2016 I came here for my 1st visit as a tourist with a bunch of friends on a road trip we were on together. We all had a blast. There are tons of awesome experiences to be had here. I had a lot of fun engaging with various attractions like Wonderworks, Glowgolf/Minigolf, the Mirror maze, and more. I also remember going into a candy store that had oversized nerds boxes in addition to other bulk items. After eating lunch in the food court later on I ate dinner at this nice dine in restaurant that has a bar in it but I can’t remember the name of it. All I know is that there are plenty of options if you want to get a bite to eat. I never got to experience the movie theater nor half the shops that exist here but I got my fill. I came back here for a 2nd time a couple years ago with someone who is near and dear to me. We had a great time. I took a couple of pictures of the view from one of the higher floors to capture what it felt like to be there both during the day and after sunset. See for yourself!
Trevor S — Google review
This place was cool!! Everything was pretty pricey, but I'm learning that's the new mall experience as the malls near me are dying. I didn't buy anything, but spent 2hrs there just soaking it in. It was nice to see a mall so lively. And more than just shops! Interactive zoo, bowling alley, movies, tree trek... just cool! The carousel was great!!! Only $2!

If you get there before noon it's an enjoyable walk with almost no lines, after lunch it packed up quick (in August 2025) ... There's so much to do here I highly suggest you look up the app and create a plan ... And wear comfortable shoes! Have fun

First time visiting Syracuse. Didn't realize there was such a huge mall in the area. We was impressed at the size and the amount of tenants that was keeping the place full. It felt like it riveled the size of the Mall of America. It took us a few hours or so to walk the entire thing. Enjoyed taking the glass elevators for sure. The tunnel with all the lights was pretty cool as well.

Nice big mall... lots of entertainment for kids. lot of variety in food court. we visited from Canada over the weekend to Syracuse and destiny mall was in the list. however lot of shops were closed and the mall seemed to be different because of that... worth the visit.

Destiny USA offers only three levels of 6 with diverse stores and fantastic kid-friendly entertainment, including a petting zoo, arcades, waterworks, and a carousel. The only downside is that some elevators and escalators are currently out of order.

Jeremy P — Google review
Okay, for starters the water is crystal clear! How have I lived in the Finger Lakes region and never knew this was here...?! This lake is literally breathtaking. From the boat launch, to downtown Skaneateles, to all of the beautiful houses along the lake, this is gorgeous! I dropped in at the boat launch with a friend, and we kayaked all the way up to downtown Skaneateles, hopped out, and had lunch downtown. The entire day was fantastic and this is a place I will always return to because it’s so relaxing. On the north side of the lake - there are some sand bars so you can hop out and go swimming if you’re on a boat. Or, in our case, we pulled our kayaks to the edge and hopped out and went swimming. Couldn’t have been more perfect! The water is so clear, you can see fish swimming and they’ll even swim up to your kayak. The whole experience was so fun.
