I’ve lived in Scranton for around 1 year, but this is my first time visiting this park. This public park is very spacious, with a beautiful waterfall, and it’s a perfect place to visit during the fall foliage season. I brought my cat for a walk — there are so many squirrels here, and my cat was so happy watching them run around.

I was a first-time visitor to Nay Aug Park on Wednesday June 11, 2025. There is something for everybody in this city-owned public space. The day I was visiting there was a health fair being presented and I picked up some valuable information. The trails leading to the water seemed very treacherous to me. Maybe there is an easy trail but I did not find it. Check out the cool tree house platform. Apparently at this time of year the foliage obscures the water from the tree house. Apparently there is a parking lot on location reserved for hospital staff.

Small but very nice. A lot of people swimming in the summertime peacefully, but dangerous cliff jumping. Cops were in the parking lot when we left, probably for the large groups of young people cliff jumping into the deep water by the waterfall

Beautiful place to take a walk or a hike. Be careful in some areas, as the last major storm caused some of the paths to get washed out. Wear good shoes and you'll be able to get around well. Don't forget to check out the coffee shop near the hospital, Blackwatch Coffee. Excellent coffee, cute little bistro/cafe as they also sell breakfast and lunch items. Would go back to try their specialty "monthly" coffee selections.

Love visiting here when back in Scranton. Hikes can be difficult with how steep things are and a lot of uneven ground, wet leaves etc. There are some paved paths but still pretty steep if physically compromised or not in fair health. We had some older people in our group and were able to navigate the terrain, though moderately challenging, with some caution. The scenic views are worth the trek.

This area is beautiful for walking. We parked at the end of Mulberry Street and followed the trails to the bridge, overlook, and falls. It's a great spot to spend some time in nature.

Easy to access via bus, jump off at Geisinger. If you can catch the mine tour, it's well worth it. Plenty of hiking trails and picnic areas. There's gazebos and usually decent parking. Don't miss the treehouse overlook!

I remembered the old Mount Airy Lodge commercials from when I was a kid in the 1980s, and I wanted to see how this place changed since then, even though the original structure was demolished in the early 2000s. I came here for a little weekend trip for some gambling and a little spa treatment. This whole place is absolutely gorgeous. One of the best resorts I have visited. My room was clean and I had a nice view of the lake/golf course. The room has a fridge, but it only holds beverages (including alcohol) from the hotel that you are automatically charged if you remove anything. Same goes for snacks. The casino can be a little off putting since it is a tad smoky since smoking is permitted. Otherwise, they have a great selection of games to play. I really enjoyed the different slot machines. I took advantage of the Spa my second day and I was very satisfied with all my services. Shout out to Alyssa and Liana who did a fantastic job with my facial, manicure and massage. The Spa is very clean and well organized. Definitely recommend checking out. But be mindful that all services automatically charges 20% gratuity. They have several restaurants and a bar in the casino area along with a cute little gift shop. The coffee shop is downstairs on the other end of the hotel. When I arrived they had plenty of parking. It can seem like a nuisance to drag luggage from the car and have to cut through the casino to get to the front desk. I also attended an event in the conference area that was fun as well. And it wasn't that expensive. Overall, I had a wonderful time here and I will definitely come back again in the future.

Fantastic and very beautiful casino in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. The rooms are absolutely amazing and both the hotel and casino are great! The selection of slots and number of them ensure that you can almost always get your machine. The buffet is the best we have had at a casino, and is very reasonably priced. Every Wednesday has a 30% discount on the buffet. The Noodle bar and Italian restaurant are top notch as well. The payouts seem to be very generous as well!

Absolute worst casino I've ever been in and let's just say I'm an avid gambler. I went in there on a weeknight and the place was like a mortuary. No players, completely quiet and almost entirely empty. I proceeded to spend $500 on roughly 10-12 random machines scattered throughout the casino. I got 1 bonus on Ultimate Fire Link equivalent to what I put in then they proceeded to just take that right back too. Most of the other machines didn't even give a win as much as let alone more than the bet. Ran down place. Beautiful location but obviously needing all it can get to stay alive. Couldn't even live in the shadows of Wind Creek in Bethlehem. I guess if you are here just for the scenery maybe but in that case why not just go to a luxury without a casino. Wont step foot in there ever again. Only.thing worth mentioning is that the staff were all very polite courteous and welcoming.

I am extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The overall cleanliness is unacceptable — everything feels dirty and neglected. The pools are very dirty, and the jacuzzi that is advertised simply does not exist. The service is terrible, and the staff look tired, unprofessional, and untidy. The food in the restaurant is awful — absolutely tasteless, the dishes are dirty, and even the tables are sticky and not properly cleaned. The dining area feels old and unpleasant. The whole atmosphere of the hotel is depressing. There is literally nothing to do here — no entertainment, no energy, nothing modern. I honestly don’t understand how this place has such a high rating. The hotel looks like it hasn’t been renovated since the 1990s. Everything — from the furniture to the decor — feels outdated. Maybe this place would be fine for people in their 70s or 80s who just want a quiet place to sit, but for anyone younger who expects comfort, cleanliness, and a nice experience — I do not recommend this hotel at all. It’s a waste of money.

Really beautiful and clean rooms. I stayed here when on a work trip. Multiple places to eat. Room service and valet available. I don't gamble but the casino floor looked well run. The only complaint is there is a smoking section in the casino and that smell travels throughout the entire floor. No smoking in or near the hotel rooms though. No children allowed. Nice pool.

We did a one night stay at this property and it's supposed to be an adult only casino... There's no entertainment for adults, no night clubs and the joke of what they call entertainment is setting up a few plastic cubes by the poker bar and have two people singing that you can barely hear. This place is filled with cigarette and marijuana smokers, my wife and I had to wear a mask. Totally disgusting. I would never recommend this place to anyone and do not plan on ever going back. Tom

This was my first time here. As soon as you walk in you smell the cigarette smoke. Huge turnoff. The players club was conveniently located at the front. More casinos should do this. The guy at the counter acted like he was doing me a favor getting me the players card. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't friendly. A smile and how was your day would go a long way. As I write this my eyes are burning and itching. The smoke is horrible. People have a choice to smoke I have to breathe. My head hurts. The casino itself is laid out nice. A lot of the machines will keep kicking out the money or the tickets so that's aggravating. A lot of the buttons don't work or stick, that's also aggravating. I was really looking forward to trying out this casino. I was happy to leave. Would I recommend this casino? No. I won't be back there are too many other choices. By the way the non-smoking part is a joke.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a great time. Went down the 1000 ft. line since the 4000 ft. line was not operating. The mountain slide was okay. You too Groupon off you want a deal on tickets.

Will never stay here again. Booked a room with a balcony, got a patio on the first floor looking at a brick retaining wall and electrical boxes. When asked, was told it could be a balcony or patio. Can't seem to find that disclaimer anywhere. But the best part was the mold in the room. I have COPD and couldn't under why my lungs felt bad. Didn't notice the mold until the morning we checked out. When I mentioned it to the front desk, her response was I'll call maintenance. No apology, no discount. NOTHING. OH, and let's not forget the late night text, after midnight, regarding our valet parked truck. Came in and nobody at the valet desk. Gave key to the front desk but apparently that wasn't communicated to the correct person. Hence the text, claiming an issue with our vehicle. My husband, in a panic, heads to the desk at 6am to find out everything was fine. How about a text saying that. Plus, they don't answer the phone when you call the front desk. Wish I could share the mold pictures...and our shitty patio view.

I was there last weekend, a very large ski resort, it has everything, a variety of parking from $12, which is a little far, to $35, which is right at the entrance, lots of very nice staff, always providing excellent service with a smile, the guests on site were also very nice, everyone helps if someone falls. We were there on the last weekend of the season, so there were only 3 lifts, but the variety of trails is wide for all levels, ages, etc., I will definitely go back there next year, there is a bar and restaurant inside the site (a sports bar like that) it was amazing, great prices and good quality! In conclusion: it is suitable for all types of people, young people, couples, families, etc. A very interesting place worth trying!

Camelback is always a fun time no matter what you are going to do, this time me and my wife did the mountain coaster which can beat your body up and whip you around so hold on tight ! We also did the 4,000ft zip lining which was so awesome the view while you are going down the cable is amazing !! We will be back to camelback for more winter adventures !

Oh all the staff are so friendly and helpful!!! So absolutely amazing!! They had activities for the kids too! One night was a magic night with a magician! Then they had arts and crafts and last but not least a person who came to talk about snakes and actually brought live snakes!!! Amazing! All of the staff super awesome to the kiddos and just wow!!!

I should have read the reviews beforehand, as all the negative feedback turned out to be true. I’ve never been to a ski resort where I had to pay for parking, and the prices were outrageous: $45 or $50 for premium parking. To make matters worse, I later discovered a hidden/further $12 general parking lot which was not offered from the beginning. Buying tickets online is cheaper than in person, but the process of creating an account is unnecessarily complicated—be prepared for the hassle. Costs were steep across the board: $120 for the lift ticket, $70 for rentals, $50 for parking, and $25 for food/drinks. The resort’s operations were disappointing. Only 1 out of 2 magic carpets was working, and several lifts were down, creating long lines with no staff to manage the flow where two lines merged into one. Seating areas were scarce, both for resting or simply leaving your gear while entering bars or restaurants. The slopes were fantastic in the morning but became dangerously icy in the afternoon. The only positive thing was that the employees help with putting on your boot rentals. While the resort is large and can accommodate a lot of people, it leads to overcrowding, making it difficult and unsafe to navigate the slopes with so many people falling. For the price, the comfort and experience do not match the cost.

Nice park. Everything was chill and smooth. Rides were good and my kids enjoyed everything. The only thing that was a big problem was the fact that my wife and I waited in line for more than an hour to order food at the bar for our kids. It was really annoying watch 1 person try to service the bar and the guests ordering food. She handled everything professionally and quickly but it's sad that she had no help.

I'm so disappointed. I went with my husband and 2 kids we went because my son wanted to go for his bday which is 9/3 which clearly they are closed which is understandable this is why we went on 8/31 we got there early so we didn't have any issues with waiting on long lines . If you ask me the price for parking is absolutely insane $12 to park far away $35 if you want " mid " way and $40 dollars of you just wanna walk up about 15 or so steps 🤦 so before we even enter the park we are already paying $40 for parking . Then we purchased 4 day passes which was about a hundred and 40 something I believe my husband said . Anywho so the temperature showed it was about 69 going up to 73 I believe so yes the sun was shining and hiding because it kept coming in and out . So first we walked over to the lazy river 🥶🥶🥶🥶 omg that water was absolutely freezing cold I don't know how people were even in the water freezing there behinds but I just couldn't it's a " Lazy River " not a frozen riven you are supposed to go in and just relax . Alot of life guards had on sweaters everywhere you looked there were people wrapped with towels because it was so 🥶🥶🥶🥶 you just couldn't enjoy the water . Then we walked over to the Olympic pool we walked in and pretty much wet our legs because it was so cold you couldn't even swin and enjoy it . Then we tried the wave pool 🤦🤦🥶🥶🥶🥶 another area of water that had freezing cold water . Which completely sucks because you pay money to go to a water park you figured the water would be enjoyable but nope that's not the experience we had . So while I was shivering on a beach chair wrapped in my towel I decide to call guest services to see if anything could be done . So I explained how we paid money to park and enter the park and we aren't able to enjoy ourselves because everything is extremely cold is there some type of compensation we can receive maybe some type of discount to return next summer but I simply got told NO ! once your ticket is scanned there really isn't much that can be done . So I told the guy so basically we spent almost $200 to come in and just touch cold water he's like a there's nothing we can do . And don't get me started on the price of the snacks in there 🤦 talk about highway robbery a bag of m&m was $6.00 freaking bucks for a regular small bag a small bag of chips was like $5.00 bucks 🤦 a small drink from the fountain machine was $2.50 smh . It really sucks that we went and drove 2 hours to come and enjoy this park and that's the last thing we did because the water was way to cold to enjoy . So that is why I'm only leaving 1 start because we were extremely disappointed and my son did not get to enjoy his bday after we traveled for about 2 hours . So we came back home disappointed.

Camelback Outdoor Water Park is an absolute blast! The park is huge, with a wide range of water themes to enjoy. Some of the highlights include: - *Wave Pool*: Perfect for swimming and playing in the waves - *Lazy River*: A relaxing way to float along and enjoy the scenery - *Kiddie Pools and Splash Pads*: Great for younger kids to play and cool off - *Changing Rooms and Bathrooms*: Conveniently located throughout the park - *Food and Drinks*: Plenty of options available, including Rita's Water Ice for a sweet treat - *Comfortable Seating*: Huge umbrellas and lounge chairs to relax and recharge One tip: bring your own towels to ensure you have enough to dry off and relax. Overall, Camelback Outdoor Water Park is a fantastic place for kids (and kids at heart!) to spend the day. With its many attractions and amenities, it's an ideal destination for families and groups looking for a fun-filled day of splashing around and soaking up the sun.

Staff is very friendly and professional. Rides are well-maintained. Parking seems a bit on the expensive side ($12, $30 or $40), but whatever. Great variety of food stands.

Great outdoor water park. The kids loved it. I highly recommend renting a cabana for the day as it used it to take a break and get lunch and to rest in between all the rides.

It is great that they are doing Fireworks Fridays this Summer! Open to the Public at 7:30pm and typically piared with some kind of entertainment leading up to the Fireworks. Enjoy some Rita's, Beer, and food and have.an enjoyable evening with the family.

This place is crowded like crazy on Sundays. DO NOT GO! Price is cheap but that makes the crowd VERY HUGE. Line is about 1hr wait so we bought the $30 express pass. BUT! Express lane has the same lane as the normal lane, we had to ask people to move away to go through the line. PEOPLE LITERALLY THOUGHT WE WERE CUTTING THE LINE and they were mad. We had to explain. And it’s frustrating and embarrassing. Aside from that, the slides were fun. Side note: I would suggest going to other water parks, unless you want to save money.

This a review ONLY for the free RV parking. After you turn off 315 you need to drive all the way back to Lot E where the website says RVs can park. A sign points left to a gravel lot but and others went into Lot E and parked on pavement with the big trucks. You able to use your levels, generator, and slides. There is plenty of room. We parked in the long lanes painted for big rigs. There are no amenities so it is dry camping. It was quiet. AT&T cell service was excellent. Over the air TV was available. There is a covered shuttle stop in the Lot if you want to go to the casino for meals or gambling. We did not use it or go into the casino. There are grassy areas for dog walking and a body of water across the street behind the trees. We would certainly stop here for a free night.

Was there 10/25 and 10/26/25. The room was great, and cleaned very well. Played at the Casino and a wide range of slots to choose from. Not once did we have to wait to get drinks, those gals were amazing. We ate at 2 different places and both were amazing, and the prices very affordable. Check in and out was a breeze. Will definitely go back. As for the comedy show...not so my style. Meeting table and chairs. A different set up would be needed. SA

We didnt stay at the hotel just visited. Casino was clean, looked like lots of good food options. Also the toilet cover thing was neat, i've never seen that! The track was nice but it was a HOT day and there wasn't a lot of shade outside. People were smoking inside so not comfortable in there.

Had a was wonderful time. Food at Ruth Chris was a fantastic meal. We ate at Johnny Rockets. Very inexpensive and delicious. Lots of cocktail waitresses on the cassino floor. Our room was super clean and lovely.

So Smokey from the front entrance and throughout the casino. My wife and I felt the level of fresh air ventilation was poor. We couldn't escape the smoke! We Visited on Monday, November 17th. Many food options were closed also. No Bubble Craps!! If you're not a smoker....Stay Away!!!

Not a 4 star hotel…… more like a 3. Come ready to make your own bed and ask for more towels and other essentials or bring your own if you need them. And make sure you bring your tablet with your own shows properly downloaded for streaming. The streaming service does not work at all…. And the worst part is that after you try to make it work for 10 times and you call the front desk they will tell you….. oh… I don’t know why they still have that because it does not work!

I stayed at Mohegan Pennsylvania for a weekend and the security checkpoint was extremely inconsistent and unfavorable treatment based on sex toward males. The first day my wife and I were able to walk in and out without being stopped. The second day in the AM we were carded and had a picture taken which is not a big deal. Later that night upon walking in I was told I had to get in line which is not a big deal until my wife who was directly in front of me was told she was good to walk in and I was told to wait in line. I asked security about the requirements on enter being able to walk right in and wasn't given an answer. Then, while in line I overheard security tell someone that if you look under 40 that you have to wait in line. I also repeatedly saw women in their 20s being able to walk right in. The line was full of males waiting to enter the casino.

We dropped by for a period of about 2 hours on a slightly rainy Wednesday in May, and it was awesome. I suspect it would have been a lot busier in better weather, but we had the place almost all to ourselves. Great trails, beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL spots around the 'Tubs loop'. I wish we had a whole afternoon to enjoy it. As I said, I imagine this place is incredibly busy in nice weather, and it may take away from the experience, but for us, it was perfect. Absolutely free. Bathrooms are one step above an outhouse, but were clean. Hardly any garbage to speak of, and we picked up what little we saw. Well worth going to. 5/5...

This place was worth it quick easy walk to the main attraction areas. We went first thing in the morning before anyone was in the springs. The water was crystal clear and warm we visited in hot August. Super cute. We took a lot of wonderful pictures and enjoyed about an hour or so here.

Beautiful park to visit. Water level was very low in the 2nd weekend of October 2025 but still gorgeous for photos and relaxing near the water. Not wheelchair accessible. Would be slippery if snowing or raining. Multiple trails for hiking. Clean bathrooms. Two parking areas that hold about 20 cars each.

Absolutely amazing walk. It took us about 1h 30 to do the full walk. Plenty of bugs so bring bug spray. Also good hiking boots might be worth bringing also as it had just rained and the surface was slippy. I would recommend this area. Very nice indeed.

Seven Tubs Nature Area is a hidden gem in Pennsylvania. The glacial rock formations and waterfalls are absolutely beautiful, and the trails are peaceful and well-marked. I had a great experience—perfect for a quick nature escape or a longer hike if you want to explore deeper into the woods. Highly recommend going early for the best views and fewer crowds.

Seven Tubs is a very cool area to explore, it was extra beautiful with all the fall foliage. Can't wait to go back and explore more! If you are near the area I would recommend checking this area out.

Really cool spot if you like to hike. Definitely wear proper footwear. Lots of uneven / rough trails. We had a great time, except when I fell & almost slid down waterfall into the creek at the bottom 😂 We did 2.8 miles total out & back following the markers.

I have been coming to Split Rock for over 20 years prior to moving to West Virginia 5 years ago. I was excited to see that they remodeled the rooms when I booked a trip. The reception was very nice but it went downhill from there. I was told that the elevator was down and would have to carry everything to the 3rd floor. I asked about plates and glasses not being in the kitchen (my friend arrived earlier and gave me a heads up). The receptionist explained that the weekend folks kept breaking them so it’s only available for timeshare owners. Ok, I get it. After lugging my suitcase up 3 flights of steps I open our room to see a windowless box with minimal air conditioning and the most uncomfortable living room I’ve ever experienced. Think straight-backed church pews with cushions. The beds were comfortable and the resort beautiful, but I will never come back again.

My friend and I booked a stay at the resort July 10 through the 17th 2025. It was her birthday and I wanted to surprise her. The surprise was on us when we got there and got a room. The room was so bad that when we asked for maintenance, there was no maintenance people on site so we had to clean a defrosting refrigerator. It was ice and water all over the refrigerator when we opened the refrigerator. Water was falling on the floor when we went to clean the refrigerator. The sink was so dirty. It was a silver sink that turned brown. We had to clean that the countertop the stove it was a mess then we find out we have no cable. Went to the desk to complain about everything there was nobody that could help us because there was no maintenance on site. The place was like a ghost town and in the rooms was dirty couldn’t get no linen. It was real bad. we wind up leaving two days early. That’s how bad it was. We didn’t get maintenance for the TVs for three days. So for you who have a membership or is looking to buy a membership from split rock don’t. They didn’t want to reimburse me nothing I couldn’t get no help from managers because the managers was barely on site. If they weren’t on site they was in a meeting they busy so therefore you couldn’t get any help from nobody, bad situation all the way around. So my warning to you, if you’re looking to buy into a resort, do not buy into split rock it’s the worst.

Resort had many errors upon arrival. I left a vape behind in which I have no problem picking up. Phone numbers don’t work. They randomly hang up on me. Can’t speak to anyone about the matter. No heat, fridge was damaged, no breakfast accommodations for the amount that was paid. Definitely was not worth my stay. I’m hoping my friend had a great birthday. But I felt it could have been better. Customers service is very poor. I called 2 different types of numbers to try and speak to someone about my property being returned but I can even get ahold of someone online. Customer service is disgusting. They aren’t helpful rather the complete opposite. Very unethical and incompetent. They don’t care about their customers. They have a nasty attitude. Do not waste your money in going here. Absolutely appalling and waste of money. Nothing enjoyable about this resort at all.

All the staff we interacted with were wonderful. Size of the time share rooms (2 bedroom ) were amazing. Building 6 rooms 3119 A/B. Rooms themselves, as you know are outdated. Clean, but outdated. New couches are desperately needed simply for comfort. They were incredibly firm and uncomfortable. We had a good stay all in all and the place would be amazing if remodeled. We really booked it for its proximity to Jim Thorpe and surrounding area.

I was extreme dissatisfied with my recent stay at Split Rock Poconos, Willowbrook. While I appreciate that the staff were friendly and helpful and that the breakfast buffet and service were excellent, the overall condition of the resort and accommodations was unacceptable. When we arrived at the building, I immediately noticed several issues: * The exterior was extremely dirty, with visible grime and algae, and the overhang was missing its aluminum covering. * Inside, there was a strong sewage odor and heavily stained carpeting throughout the halls. * Our unit contained bugs on the walls and ceiling, dirty and outdated appliances, and visible dirt on the bed. One wall even had a hole in it. * The in-room phone did not work. We were then moved to Building 6. Although the exterior appeared slightly cleaner, the overall condition was still disappointing. The entryway smelled unpleasant, lighting throughout was dim, and the furniture appeared decades old. The hallway carpets were stained, and trash was present on the floor. In our unit, the appliances and handles were grimy, the dining chairs were stained. The bathroom was poorly lit and visibly unclean, with stained fixtures and a damaged electrical socket that appeared to be burned—posing a potential safety hazard. The resort’s main recreational area was also in disrepair. Several bowling lanes were out of order, seats were ripped and dirty, and buckets had been placed to catch water leaking from the ceiling. These conditions made the amenities unusable.

I Love all the activities there are at split rock resort. I really enjoy the arcade and bowling alley. Me and my bf come every October for my birthday and we always have a great week here with everything there is to do here. A special shout out to Luis and Gerald for being amazing workers and always answering questions we have or if a machine is giving us issues they are there to help.

I was honestly prepared for the worst vacation spot of my life judging from the most recent reviews but we were happy with our little stay at Split Rock. Only the Town Center had the water problems and you can see by my photos that the staff had water out for people to drink there. The reception staff was so so nice and gave us a room at The Lodge and the water there comes from a different source per the staff. I brought my two young kids and they did not mind that the resort is in need of superficial updates and some tlc - they had a blast at the arcade and the water park and in the room which had a great view! The activities and bones are charming but it does need updating.

The park offers a lot to do, is mostly dog friendly, and the campground is ok. The hikes to the waterfalls were lovely even in the rain. The Boulder Field was fun and unique but be prepared for a long drive on a dirt road with lots of potholes to get there. The swimming lake was nice and lots of area to swim. I especially liked that it was smoke-free. There’s three divided large swimming sections. A cute lil goose family was swimming along with us humans. No dogs on the beach, but there’s grass and trees nearby where I stayed with my dog. Of course there’s people that don’t listen and bring their dog on the beach and hike with their dog off leash, which is disappointing. The food is over priced by the pool and only one person works there and she’s slow and unable to multi-task. I think I waited 15 minutes for my ice cream with only one person in front of me who also just ordered one ice cream. The soft serve was very delicious and worth it! If you want to tent camp, sites 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, and 314 are the nicest and most secluded. Sites 298, 299, and 301 are right by the busy road. A lot of the other sites are hit or miss: small, too close together, no shade, muddy, etc. The campground appears a bit neglected with tall grass, damaged trees, falling apart picnic tables, and lots of closed sites. The water didn’t work by my site and there’s no running water in the bathroom, just a port a potty type toilet. If u need to shower you must drive to the other campground. The camp store is small but very well-stocked with anything you might need. But beware, they sold me firewood that was wet and fresh and did not burn well. People have zero respect for quiet hours, but I complained to the park ranger and the next night and morning it was so quiet, the rangers do a great job! Alcohol is not permitted in the park or campground, but again, people didn’t listen to that either. The new visitor center is very nice. They did close at least an hour early on Saturday night. They warned everyone about bears in the area and were great with advice but I didn’t see any.

A large state park with beautiful nature surrounding it and spacious areas recreation. They have picking areas, a seasonal swimming area, a fishing lake, and of course the boulder field plus so much more. Could spend multiple days exploring the great out doors here.

Had a wonderful time visiting Hickory Run State Park—just about a two-hour drive with beautiful, scenic views along the way. Upon arrival, the staff at the visitor center were kind and helpful, guiding us toward Hawk Falls and the Boulder Field. The center itself was clean, well-maintained, and even had EV chargers available. Hiking to Hawk Falls was a moderate trek. The path down was mostly downhill with uneven terrain, so it required careful footing. The return hike was uphill and a good reminder to pace yourself, but it was worth it. The rocks near the falls were large and easy to walk across, making for some amazing photo opportunities. The Boulder Field was a short drive away, first on the highway and then along a bumpy dirt road. Once there, informational signs explained how the field was formed during the Ice Age. Climbing across the massive rocks was both fun and challenging—definitely keep your hands free for balance in case a boulder shifts. Overall, it was a fantastic first visit. I’m already looking forward to returning for more hiking and to explore the park’s camping options.

We loved Hickory Run State Park especially the visitor center. Could use some better trail maps and trail signage but we had a great time so much more than boulder field

One of the most amazing state parks I've been into. BEAWARE : There is no network once you come here so please download offline version of google maps before coming here. The information center is pretty good with clean washrooms and a bunch of maps. Staff was helpful with our questions. We did Trail A- Beach Trail which was 0.5 and was very easy with no elevation. Later we did Trail T- Shades of Death trail which was marked as most difficult. But for me who has NO hiking and NO Gymminng experience I found it to be easy. Takes about 1 hour out-and-back. The boulder field is 15mins drive from the information center. The road is not paved and it sometimes is very narrow for 2 way traffic. So be careful and drive slow. Sometimes this road is one-way only which is a lot easier. The boulder field is fascinating but take care of your belongings - especially your cellphone because it may fall down in between the rocks. Some rocks move while be step on them so it's necessary to balance properly. We enjoyed this state park a lot.

Lovely state park with tons of hiking trails and lovely scenery!! Went on the shades of Death trail. Suggest bringing appropriate foot ware with you as some trails are a little sketchy, a lot of roots from the trees, and small walkways on some parts. Just use caution when in those areas, but it's worth the hike.

Came on Memorial Day to camp, goo's choice...beat the weekend crowd. A lot of pretty sites. 2 loops are electric, one loop has some 3 ways. Restrooms are clean. But only one Restroom/Shower house for 2 loops. I think it would be a little crowded on a weekend or holidays. Nice beach area and plenty of hiking.

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.

Nice atmosphere, our waiter, Conner was excellent and friendly. He was great. The food was at best, mediocre. It was our first visit and will return in the hopes that the menu items will improve. Cocktails were also excellent.

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

We came here for mountain biking race. The event was well organized. It was different to see it in the Fall. My family used to come here in winters and skied so many times that it has a dear spot in my heart. Now we have another reason to visit it!

I went to a wedding there on May 25th 2025 and it was hands down one of the best venues I've ever been to. Gorgeous views and a beautiful lodge. Staff was great as well

A beautiful state park and campground. We stayed in the updated loop with full hookups. The sites were spacious and fairly level. The campground offers hiking (the Falls Trail being the most popular), lake activities, and a beach. There currently is a bear visiting the campground but if you take the normal precautions you’ll be fine. If you come from the south, you are faced with a posted 18% grade incline and the opposite if you head south from the park. Logging trucks do use the road so expect some slow traffic when they’re on the hill. The Red Rock Corner store has ice, firewood, a deli, and necessities. Bear Fuel is always near by with gas and diesel. They are both down the hill on Rt 118.

A wonderful park. Very beautiful, especially in the fall. Highly recommend coming to just walk the beach trail for a more casual stroll in nature. There is also a day use area with picnic facilities and a beach. Various hiking trails are around to acess the park's many waterfalls. Adams Falls is one of the waterfalls and is one that can be accessed from a small rocky climb/hike. Somw trails close in the winter for safety due to the nature of the hikes so make sure to plan accordingly and come in a good season for hiking if you plan to do the falls trail. The beach trail is generally easier and is just a nice walk around the woods and lake. You won't see any water falls on that trail but it gives year round access to the park and is easier for those not looking for a big hike. The beach is open in the summer to swimming but closes the rest of the year. You can still lake along the beach trail but not enter the water. There was a volleyball net up on the beach the day I went. I don't remember seeing that as a recreation activity on the park site so it was a nice surprise. There is also camping (tent, rv, and cabin) but I didn't stay so I can't speak for the camping but still it's nice to note that it is a great option for those wanting to get away to nature. Boats are allowed on the lake and access is provided.

Beautiful hike. Waterfalls all pretty close to each other. You don't have to walk too far before seeing one. I managed to walk the trail in my long boots without any grips without issues, but it was mainly dry and I found both trails fairly easy (but I'm fairly healthy). I'd always recommend proper walking shoes tho for safety. Parking was free. Couldn't see any meters. Both TOILETS are DISGUSTINGLY filthy. "Swarms of flies" circling the toilet bowl. That tells you how bad it is!! Doesn't look like it's been cleaned in 6 months.

This is the best hike I’ve been to! I’ve been here twice already and all of the nature is so beautiful that you just don’t want to leave (P.S. there’s no service here so plan accordingly). This hike is for the moderately experienced, I don’t want to scare anyone away but at some point the rock stairs you have to climb/descend get exhausting and a little scary if you’re afraid of heights. Also make sure your shoes are grippy so you stay grounded. I’d even recommend bringing some hiking sticks, trekking poles, whatever you want to call them, just to get some more stability. I would say it’s pretty safe here people wise, everyone I passed on my hike was very friendly and just going about their own business.

Clean camping site right by the lake, I heard coyotes howling through the night and the stars are ABUNDANT! Vibe check passed. Was my first time camping like this and I had no issues. The bathrooms are clean and warm, would absolutely come here again

Ricketts Glen is an absolute gem of a park, and its reputation for a stunning Falls Trail is completely deserved. The hike itself is a breathtaking journey through a fairytale forest, with the rewarding sight and sound of dozens of waterfalls around every turn. The trail, while challenging and a good workout, is well-maintained and provides a true sense of accomplishment. The towering, 94-foot Ganoga Falls is a highlight, but every single cascade has its own unique charm. The park offers so much more than just the falls. The atmosphere is peaceful and secluded, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Lake Jean is a wonderful addition, with a clean beach for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding on its tranquil waters. The campground provides spacious and shaded sites, and the lack of cell service is a welcome reason to truly disconnect. Ricketts Glen is a perfect retreat for anyone seeking adventure, relaxation, and unparalleled natural beauty.

Never have I experience an amazing hike with so many waterfalls in one big hike. Talk about the level power it requires to handle this hike but the views, water, the amazing greenery mixed in. Even the drive getting there is worth it. But i recommend this is a summer to enjoy with friends & family.

I recently took the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway train trip out of Jim Thorpe, PA, and it was such a pleasant experience! The ride takes you through some absolutely beautiful scenery along the Lehigh River and deep into the Pocono Mountains. The fall foliage made it even more breathtaking — it’s the perfect time of year to go if you love the colors of autumn. Get there early if you're visiting during peak season — the town and the train was crowded, especially on weekends in the fall. There is no booking in advance option in this period! The train itself has a charming, old-fashioned feel, with both open-air and enclosed cars. The ride lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, and it’s just the right length — long enough to enjoy but not so long that it drags. The narration over the speakers gave us a bit of history about the region and the old railroad line, which added a nice touch without being too intrusive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and boarding was smooth and well organized. Jim Thorpe itself is a lovely little town, so it’s worth making a day of it — grab lunch, walk around the shops, and then hop on the train. Overall, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a great, family-friendly experience that offers a peaceful way to enjoy some of Pennsylvania’s most scenic landscapes. Highly recommended!

Such a fun and memorable experience! The ride itself was beautiful — you can choose between open-air cars and enclosed cars with windows. The scenery through the gorge is stunning, especially in the fall. The car hosts were super friendly and pointed out interesting landmarks along the way so we could get great photos. My two toddlers loved it! We went on a Tuesday in late October and were able to buy tickets on-site. Arriving about 20 minutes before departure was plenty of time to get tickets, and board comfortably. Definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Jim Thorpe!

This train is beautiful, vintage decor, great service, beautiful views. It isn't a long ride, which I was fine with, I paid about $75 pp which included a small breakfast of sausage, egg, fruit and mimosa/coffee. It was just ok for me, my husband was happy to finish his and mine. We enjoyed this very much and highly recommend it.

Scenic train ride offered for all 4 seasons including holiday themed rides - highly recommended! Definitely suggest arriving early as tickets for certain rides are first come first serve. I also recommend trying to sit on the right side of the train as the left side you'll mainly see the mountain side. Also dress for the weather because, at least on my visit, the train cars are not climate controlled.

This was a fantastic fall experience. The town and the train ride were an amazing end-of-fall must-do. The town itself was lovely and had plenty to do. I recommend bringing a blanket if you’re visiting late fall with little ones. The prices vary depending on your seat, ranging from $22.00 to $24.00 for adults and $9.00 to $10.00 for children. Tickets can be purchased at the train booth, not online. The train ride is 45 minutes.

Beautiful views. Have been 4 times in the last Couple years. Only improvements I could suggest is adding more comforts and heating to the open air cabin, and having the docents be more informed to be able to answer questions. We asked the one in our car about something In the area that the voiceover presentation had mentioned but he knew nothing.

A cute experience to enjoy while visiting Jim Thorpe. We arrived just in time to jump on their noon time ride on a November week day. There were plenty of tickets available for the later rides as well. The track you go on isn’t the most exciting or scenic, but it was fun to take a ride on the train. The best part was the narrator and train staff. They did a great job telling stories and keeping people engaged.

This zoo has a special place in my heart! The entire staff is so wonderful and you can tell they love the animals. I highly recommend their animal encounters (feeding the giraffe, meet a penguin, etc.), it would be a dream come true for any animal-lover! I got to meet an African penguin and nearly passed out from the excitement! Their winter spectacular is also a must-visit experience. It is just such a gem and I’m so grateful to have this place in the Lehigh Valley! Very kid-friendly!

A cute little zoo situated in the middle of forest. You may see animals on the road while going there. It is small in size, but hosting many animals like giraffe, penguins, wild cat, eagles, parakeets, goats, etc. Sessions for feeding anomals need to be booked in advance. It's a fun place to spend a day with children especially. Pandas are cute and a beauty to watch. Food is available for a reasonable price inside. Zoo admission I found a bit expensive compared to Lake Tobias which was 19$ including a wild life safari. Leigh zoo costs 16$ just zoo visit. There was free car parking available.

We absolutely loved this zoo. The giraffe feeding was the highlight of our time there! The fact that we were able to be so close to all the animals was amazing. Usually, I've seen a lot of zoos put more space between the visitors and the animals. Here, the cages are up, but you are right there...it just seems amazing. Its a large zoo with so much to experience. You will just have to visit this zoo.

This was such a cute, fun, and clean zoo. It was great for my little family the staff members were all so kind and the food from their picnic area was delicious. Our highlights were getting to feed the giraffes from the platform and all the little fun things to include the little water crossing and Buffalo when leaving. My toddler is still talking about the creek crossing. Highly recommend checking this place out.

When I was a kid, we would go on a field trip that the bus drive through the creek on the way out. Vivid core memory. No one else remembered. I thought I was crazy until today. We brought the kids and the grandparents to the Lehigh zoo. I was so happy to leave and find that I didn't make this adventure up in my head. Great day. Accessible for Grandma in the scooter and great aunt with a walker.

Its a great zoo if you have little kids. Unfortunately my girls are teenagers now so they're outgrowing this place. But we loved feeding the giraffes and it was still a great dat Y!

The kids have been multiple times and do the zoo camp in the summer so I am not rating the zoo as a whole cause it’s a good day for the price . I am rating the giraffe painting experience. The biggest downside is the cost. At 250 it is not a good value for your dollar . Yes it includes admission and 1 painted canvas (not per participant) and a feeding but it is more a $195 experience . If we didn’t ask questions about the giraffes the keeper didn’t offer any fun facts or lessons …. You get more animal information from the free penguin feeding program from their keepers than from a paid experience with the giraffes. The kids had fun , the pictures are great but not worth the money . Lower the cost OR include a canvas per person AND a keeper who is giving an insider look at the day in the life of a giraffe, his habits and fun facts. It would have been 💯 worth the cost if these upgrades are made. For now do not recommend .

We liked it. It was interesting. Parking is free and admission is cheap. I don't know if you can stick a wheelchair in the mine cart but I did see a person get a walker in one and use a walker in the mine. It's an interesting little tour. Tour takes about an hour. You meet your guide in the museum then you ride with a group on a mine cart or mine train maybe that's what it is. But you go into the mine everything is pretty flat and the guide will talk you through the exhibits. Outside of the mine they have the museum and a gift shop that sells souvenirs and snacks. They have bathrooms there and there are other exhibits on the grounds, old train cars and mine cars.

My husband I went on the mine tour 9/14/2025. Our tour guide was Daryl and he was amazing! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable he was also funny. He has so much information he wanted to share I wish we could have spent hours in the mine listening to him. He is a 5th generation coal miner. His first hand experience paired with the stories from all the generations before him made him the most perfect guide. I am already planning a return trip with the rest of our family. Thank you for such an amazing experience I will never forget.

Very cool experience. The guide is extremely knowledgeable. It is a serious look at the coal mining industry. There is an excellent museum and video presentation. You ride a coal train into an actual coal mine that is no longer in service. The trip take roughly one hour. It is well worth seeing and feeling what it was like in the cold damp earth. The tour and museum is one ticket.

If you visit the museum definitely plan it around the tour times since that was well worth it. The size of the tunnels are hard to image unless you are walking through them and the effort it took to create. Our tour guide was very know and made the tour very interesting.

This past July marked the first time since 2011 visiting the coal mine and my wife & kids' very first time here as well as PA in general. Browsed the museum & store but it was the train ride and mine tour with an informative narrative that made the experience even better. Come from the flatland (IL) we were visiting my dad's siblings in Tamaqua & Coaldale. Everyday in PA we did something different and was sure looking forward to this again. Now my 10-year-old son can go tell his homeroom teacher and his classmates at the start of 5th grade that he explored a coal mine along with a few other attractions in PA. For some ppl this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and PA is rich in history. To all those who lost their lives while mining and trying to provide for your families, may you rest in peace.🇺🇲

What a fantastic and well preserved part of American history. This place illustrates the importance of the coal industry and tells the much forgotten dark truths about it like child labor, job danger, and low pay and practices that made many workers intentioned servants. Hour tours give a lot of information. Notes, it is cold and you may want a jacket but they provide some before entry. Also, wear good footwear and clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. The floors are muddy and you will have water drip on you frequently.

Coal mine tour was a great time! Perfect spot to visit during the spooky season. Janet was a very knowledgeable tour guide.

Interesting spot, worth the visit. The guy at the door was a piece of work! He had an opinion about everything and was happy to share or shove his opinion on you whether you were interested or not. We had to walk away from him several times as he continued to follow us in the fron viewing room. Not a great ambassador for guests. Otherwise a very eclectic spot, dimly lit in some spots but a ton of very interesting stuff to look at. A little dusty, musty, and old.

Bill greeted us at the door! Lots to see here! If you like all types of collections, this is the place. You can definitely spend a whole day here checking out all the stuff.

Boy oh boy is there a lot to explore. We went for the bikes and my goodness is there cool stuff. But there's also weird stuff. There's an Avon room, a kitty room, a room of just hundreds of cylinder heads. Then there's the 'architecture'. There's a town in there. You can go up and down spiral staircases into rooms with lofts and back stairs and hallways and you could almost get lost.

Great place to kill some time, similar to Wheels though Time, but with a lot of, let's say collectibles. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The military 🪖 area was very nice, as well as the PD and FD displays.

Wow. Let me say this again - wow. Even as it's positioned as a bike museum, and indeed, there are literally hundreds of motorcycles and bicycles, it's pure Americana. There are countless collections of everything from dolls to phones, to police and firefighting memorabilia... Even windowsills and skylights are filled with memorabilia items. A must see for all ages!

I have visited Bill's at least a dozen times since 2012 This place is unbelievably amazing ! Every single time I go, i literally see thousands of new items It's a Must Go for the whole family Bill keeps history Alive

All I can say is "wow". If you're ever in the area and have a few hours to spare, it's definitely worth the stop.

Nice little local place exploring in a Crystal cave.... the staff were nice and helpful... our tour guide Jamie was excellent while exploring the cave. Nice little gift shop, plenty of bathrooms that were clean. Plenty of seating areas for picnics. They have a small restaurant and an ice cream shop. Also a hiking trail if you want to walk around in the woods to see nature. I'd recommend you go early... it opens at 9am but things don't get rolling till about 9:45am for the first tour into the cave. By the time we were exiting the cave it started getting crowded but things were still flowing nicely. Overall experience was great, prices where fair on crystals, minerals and fossils. You can buy a bag of crystals or fossils and take it to the water truff to shift through and find crystals and fossils. My boys had a great time will visit again when we are coming through Rt422 into Reading Pennsylvania!

First time at Crystal Cave with the kids. Went early at 1035 am, had our tour at 1050 am. Nicola our tour guide was lively and very knowledgeable. The walk to the cave from the parking lot was steep. There was a 15 min intro movie before getting into the cave. The cave was cold so bring a sweater and wet in certain areas so wear the proper shoes. Cave itself was very interesting and such a nice learning experience. Kids wanted to do mini golf afterwards. It's cash only at the mini golf stand but you can pay by card at the trading post and they give you a voucher to take back. There is also a nature trail which we didn't get to do due to the impending storm coming in. The kid's got to do some gemstone panning which they truly enjoyed. Would come again as it was a lot of fun. We didn't eat there but looked like basic fast food. The gift shop was neat and there is a mini museum to see as well.

Cool place to bring the family!! They have an amazing cave tour that will make you laugh. We went here for my nephews birthday, he enjoyed every minute!

This was such an amazing lil tour...it is small the cave but the tour is what made it even better..I'd def the tour an movie is about a hour-isg .Our tour guide was so nice and so much history.. showed us so many cool little things you'd never notice!! 20.00pp for the tour but .. worth it ..if you see how well kept the place is ..the $ for the tour is Worth it . I couldn't believe people would be tied together and holding a ladder climbing over rocks to go to church 🤯The staff in the store was very friendly and welcoming. They have a lot of cute things to buy .I'd love to come back in Oct for the lantern

Perfect place to take the kiddos. Dress warm for the cave and be prepared to walk up a steep incline with stairs to get to the cave, watch a 12 minute video about the history of the cave, and there are also stairs inside the cave leading to the top as well as places where you have to duck or potentially brain yourself. It's worth the trip for the glittering minerals, hand dipped ice cream, panning for gemstones, and most importantly, watching your children create core memories to share for years to come.

My boyfriend and I visited on 9/14/2025 and had a wonderful time! No wait and we had an awesome tour guide named Jada who really made the overall experience great! I’m not sure which was more enjoyable, the cave itself or the gift shop! I would suggest calling ahead if you plan to visit later in the day! This is not wheelchair accessible! If you have trouble walking, standing or using steps I would not suggest visiting! Make sure to bring a jacket!

Went on a Friday afternoon & were able to get right in for the next cave tour (tour was starting in about 10 mins from time we got there). $20 ticket (per adult..children up to age 11 are cheaper). Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly & made the tour entertaining. After our tour we went into the gift shop & got a few things to remember our trip by. Reasonable prices & a large variety of items available. They do have group rates for larger parties (which I suggest buying tickets in advance) & hours sometimes vary depending on certain months or holidays & they are closed for the winter months so best to check their website. They offer other things like mini golf, gemstone panning & icecream parlor (again check their website to make sure these will be open when you go). Unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible to see the cave & there is a lot of steps to get up to the beginning of the cave plus a lot of walking throughout the cave. Where comfortable shoes (I suggest sneakers) & even if it’s hot outside, bring a sweatshirt or light jacket because inside of the cave itself, it’s in the low 50°’s. Definitely a cool part of PA & USA history and fun for all ages

Absolutely beautiful outdoors store. Large two floors of everything needed for the trip or sports you take or do. You can even pay your Cabels credit card bill there. And use your points you collected using the credit card.

It’s like a big shopping store for hunters, fisherman,sports enthusiasts and outdoorsy types. We love walking through the enrapture store with our list to find essentials for our next adventure.

Absolutely wonderful store. This is perfectly positioned for my travels with my rv. They allow RVs to park for shoppers and the store is amazing! This is the largest store they have! It’s massive!!! I always shop here when I’m coming through on my travels and the huge parking lot allowing space for RVs to park works perfect for my tiny camper.

There was a lot to look at! Lots of taxidermy displays! Cool aquarium and lots and lots of fishing and hunting items. There are clothes for men and women. Boots and socks and jackets. Kayaks, quads and utvs too. Four stars for over priced everything!

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You could spend hours in this store. There is so much to look at and the store is very neatly organized. The walk through aquarium and deer exhibit are pretty cool and I’m sure people of all ages enjoy it! There is even a second floor!

Very cool experience going here Truck driver from canada so it was awesome to see it Very friendly staff

Amazing to see the hard work and dedication that went into building and operating America's oldest brewery up to present day. Our tour guide gave us detailed , fascinating stories for all parts of the brewery including stories behind the beers and behind the brewery operations across US History. I've visited many smaller breweries across the country and this has to be one of my favorite experiences of a brewery tour. Definitely recommend to those who brew, enjoy beer, or any history fan (beer drinker or not!).

Very informative museum, all about the area, the family, the business. Really enjoyed the free tour of the brewery. It was well worth taking. Susan, our guide, was very good. There are lots of stairs on and off throughout the tour so just take note of that. Ranks as a favorite for sure!

Rode from Southeast Ohio to visit America's Oldest Brewery....definitely did not disappoint. Tour was full of history and the cold drinks were so affordable. Great staff and atmosphere. Thank you Yuengling staff for such a memorable trip. Please bring back Hershey Porter.

The tour is amazing! Highly recommend if you are in town! Lots of cool merch in the store, and got to try a new beer thats exclusive to the tour

Free brewery tour of America’s oldest brewery well worth checking out! We walked into the 2PM tour moments before it kicked off. The tour guide was awesome! Informative and funny he kept the hour long tour interesting. You’ll get to tour the caves that were carved out by miners in the 1800’s to give the lager beer making casks a constant 50 degree atmosphere for processing. The canning room was fast paced processing up to 500,000 cans a day of beer! Afterwards you’ll get to sample two of the Yuengling beer line, some of which are only available at the brewery on draft (Vanilla Black and Tan!) The store is stocked with the beer lines available for purchase in cases, memorabilia and company hats/ tee shirts. Glad to finally make the tour. We enjoyed awesome authentic Polish food at Kat’s cafe in Minersville, PA afterwards! Would be awesome to pair those pierogis with the samples at the end of the tour!

Honestly the best tour!!! Jonny was the best she was very knowledgeable and nice! We loved her! If your in Pottsville definitely stop by! You will not be disappointed!

We came here on a Thursday in June. We were nearby having lunch and looking for something else to do in the area and were able to make it here just in time for their last daily tour at 3p. *Wear closed toed shoes fyi* You can park on the street but there is a lot behind the museum/gift shop. You will walk up a small hill to get here from the parking lot - welcome to Pottsville:) So go into the museum to register for the tour. It is free but you can tip your tour guide. Ours was Sandy and she was friendly and knowledgeable about the history and easy to understand. The tour will take you a road the street to the production area and you will get to go through the underground tunnel. It’s 50 degrees down there but you’re not down there long so don’t worry about freezing. There are stairs to get up from there to the other floors. Nothing crazy just noting in case you aren’t able to do stairs. After the tour (I think it was about an hour btw) you can sample two beers in the area behind the gift shop and then stop in the shop for Yuengling merch. You can also buy beer to take home. Honestly I don’t drink Yuengling beer but I really enjoyed the tour. I did actually like the samples I had as well. If you’re a beer drinker you should put this on your list for a visit. It’s pretty interesting history and the oldest brewery in the US.

Knoebels Amusement Resort is a wonderful, family owned Amusement Resort in Elysburg PA. There's fun to be had for the whole family. They have lots of classic rides, some of which are the last of their kind. They keep their rides in amazing working order. They have a great selection of roller coasters, and all are a blast to ride. Aside from rides, the park itself is wonderful. It's very clean, and the atmosphere is great. The food here is amazing too, and affordable. You can't miss the potato cakes. They are out of this world. Attractions at the park include mini golf and a beautiful swimming pool. This is a theme park you can't miss.

In the middle of nowhere central PA, Knoebels is an absolute gem of an independent, family owned and operated park. The free admission and parking, pay-per-ride system at Knoebels is totally genius, allowing non riders to still enjoy a day at the park with family or friends. The focus is on family or kiddie rides but there's plenty for adults too. The gorgeous, huge pool is a feature you don't see often at theme parks, and boy is it wonderful to take a dip on a hot day between rides and snacks. The whole park is BYO food and bev, yet there's also plenty of unique and affordably priced concessions. My favorite treats were Tiger Tails, potato pancakes and apple cider slushies. If you enjoy vintage rides like wooden coasters or historic carousels, this is the park for you! Phoenix is an absolute menace, you will be tossed around like a rag doll and exit the station laughing hysterically, only to run around to ride it again. The Flying Turns trackless bobsled style coaster is one of a kind and a wild, totally unique experience. I really love that they have a campground directly attached to the park so you can stay on site and easily come and go. No fast lane passes offered or needed, as operations here are smooth even on a busy weekday. Absolutely worth the trip to spend a day or two relaxing and soaking up summer fun at Knoebels. If you are a fan of Kennywood out in Pittsburgh, you'll definitely love Knoebels.

Had a fantastic first visit! So many rides for our one year old to ride and enjoy. The carousels are amazing! And the Coasters are top notch! You can clearly see the pride that the employees have for their work. Early each morning they are wiping all the benches, fixing the gravel, etc. no other amusement park takes this level of care and it shows!! We cannot wait to come back next may!

I'll preface with the fact that we went on a Monday. Plenty of parking to be had, the park was super clean and the pricing was very, very reasonable..(ride all day comes out to around $8 an hour if you stay open to close). We did not buy the all-day pass, because don't ride a lot and we went there for the pool mainly. The pool($9 to get in) and the locker area were both super clean and not as crowded as I expected, which was nice... I would recommend renting chairs for the day. Even though we didn't go on them, the slides looked fun! The fact that you can leave the pool to go out to the park and come back is really nice too. There are plenty of rides to be ridden for all ages, but the roller coasters were PHENOMENAL!! This park is free to get into and very family friendly and actually any age friendly, there is really something for everyone there! There is also lots of pavilion space for picnics if you don't want to spend $$ on food there. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food options they did have. A plaque said they were voted best amusement food in 2024. Highly recommend visiting! Oh, don't forget to download their app!

This is an amazing family, amusement park. It's not huge but it's not small by any stretch either. It has a really nice homey feel that you don't get at the bigger six flags and cedar Fair Parks. The roller coasters were really good. I enjoyed Phoenix and twister. I also had a garlic burger with smothered fries. Usually burgers had amusement parks are kind of boring. This one was actually sensational. The taste was amazing. I enjoyed my stay here. I would recommend bringing your family here for sure.

One of the best amusement parks I've ever experienced. Great food! And the wooden roller coaster is incredible. We spent almost 8 hours there and it wasn't enough. Can't wait to return.

We visited Knoebels Amusement Resort today with my wife, son, and granddaughter, and it could not have been a better day. The park wasn’t crowded (Mondays and Tuesdays really are the sweet spot), so lines were short and we could enjoy more rides and attractions without the wait. Knoebels is truly a gem in Pennsylvania—family-friendly, welcoming, and wonderfully nostalgic. We stayed from open to close, and the atmosphere never lost its charm. One of the things I love most is that you can bring your own picnic. We packed lunch and dinner, left it on a picnic table in the grove, and—just like magic—nobody touched it. That kind of trust and respect is rare these days. Whether you’re riding coasters, playing games, or simply strolling through the park with a cone of fresh ice cream, Knoebels delivers pure fun in its most genuine form. We left with full hearts, tired feet, and a lot of great memories. We’ll be back again soon!

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.

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.

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.

Went for they Fourth of July fireworks it was a blast definitely recommend coming here for baseball entertainment and food definitely my go-to stadium😊👍

Great AA venue... has all the elements that it takes to be relevant. Its affordable, diverse crowd, good food, solid customer service. Nice facility for sure.

The stadium was clean and prices were reasonable. I would absolutely return for another event. If they stop selling alcohol on Recovery Night, I'll give them 5 stars.

This spot is pretty cool,it's a long and winding ride to get here but it's totally worth the trip,we did not get to go inside due to renovations but it was cool just to see something that holds so much history,the view is pretty amazing,it was pretty windy up there but it was an unusually windy day in general. I would recommend anyone considering taking a trip up here to do it. If for nothing else then the experience of it. I think this would be a hot spot for watching fireworks on 4th of july

The Pagoda is being restored, but we still enjoyed a quick stop by! There was lots of parking and the drive up the mountain is fun, as well as pretty. The view is gorgeous, and we were happy to stop by despite the scaffolding. Will visit again when the scaffolding comes down and we can go inside.

My bf proposed to me here March 22 2025. I drove from New York the night before with my dog and he met me here for a car show. Absolutely beautiful and surrounded by friends, after 5 years together he finally asked and I happily said yes. I can't wait to come back and take photos again one day 🥺🥺😭❤️💚❤️💚

Reading Pagoda in Reading, Pennsylvania. The Reading Pagoda (Reading, PA) Perched dramatically on the southern face of Mount Penn, the Reading Pagoda remains one of Pennsylvania’s most unexpected architectural landmarks — a structure that feels both delightfully out of place and deeply woven into the identity of the city below. Design & Architecture Built in 1908, the Pagoda is a seven-story, Japanese-inspired structure whose red tile roofline and tiered silhouette contrast strikingly with the rugged Pennsylvania hillside. While not an authentic Japanese temple, it’s an intriguing example of early-20th-century American exoticism — a period when U.S. developers often borrowed Eastern design motifs to create statement landmarks. From a design standpoint, the Pagoda’s visual appeal is undeniable. The building glows vividly at night, casting red light across the valley, and remains one of the most photographed icons in Berks County. Though the interior is modest and historically simple, the exterior is the true star. Views & Atmosphere The Pagoda’s greatest asset is its panoramic view of Reading and the surrounding landscape. On a clear day, visitors can watch the city grid unfold below while the rolling hills stretch into the horizon. The vantage point is peaceful, breezy, and unusually meditative — especially during early mornings or sunset hours when the hillside is quiet. The surrounding parks and trails contribute to the atmosphere, making the Pagoda a natural stop for hikers and local families. Experience Visiting the Pagoda is not a full-day outing — it’s a short, scenic stop ideal for photography, quiet reflection, or showing out-of-town guests something uniquely “Reading.” While the building has had periods of closure and limited access, the exterior and overlook remain freely accessible and consistently worthwhile. Parking is easy, the drive up is straightforward, and the cultural curiosity of finding a Japanese-style pagoda overlooking a Pennsylvania steel town gives the experience a surreal charm. Cultural & Local Value Beyond aesthetics, the Pagoda holds genuine emotional significance for locals. It’s a civic symbol, a postcard image, and a piece of Reading’s heritage. The structure’s seasonal events (when hosted) and its illuminated presence give the city character that few mid-sized towns can claim. Verdict The Reading Pagoda is not a grand museum or a bustling tourist attraction — but it’s one of the most distinctive, photogenic, and unexpectedly poetic landmarks in Pennsylvania. Its combination of panoramic views, architectural quirkiness, and local cultural weight make it a must-visit for anyone passing through Reading.

Great sunset views. Great place to take pics of ur car, great place to see the city lights at night n great place to view the mountain overlook. It woulda been a 10/10 but it’s a very sketchy area ppl wouldn’t stop blastin their terrible music which made it unenjoyable sadly. Luckily me and some other people bullied her into stopping but the loud music is a terrible problem plus the people up here who look like they wanna rob you for no reason. Cool spot tho otherwise

Under major construction right now so really hard to get decent pictures and no access to the pagoda until they are done/ Such a landmark for Reading. The city is restoring it and I’m not sure what the target date is for completion. At one time it was supposed to be a nice luxury resort built in 1907. not sure that they ever got it going but it sure is beautiful!! They are taking donations for the restoration google pagoda reading for the site.

Typically a beautiful view; I happened to be there during the brushfire. But it is such a cool building with lots of places to look out over reading. I recommend going during the day and keep an eye out for the actual pagoda to open again, I was not able to go inside. There is a decently sized parking lot and sidewalks all the way up and down for walking. Many of the trails are closed off currently.

So many lights! Follow the paths. Bundle up. Hot chocolate was great. A little indoor space to look around and warm up. Truly impressive to take in all the lights. Traffic to get into the parking lot is intense worse than you imagine. Try to book a time just at dusk so less cars as more people come later then add at least an hour to your travel time to get into the parking area. My kid was newly potty trained and peed himself in his carseat because we were waiting so long, so maybe cut off fluids to the potty trained littles in your cars and even adults too. Other than the potty training issue and lots of traffic, it was beautiful for all ages.

It had a nice smooth path to walk all around the lights with different themed areas. There were a few things that needed updated, but overall a child would love it. The only issue I had is.There were no handicapped toilets, you could get a wheelchair into inside the area. There were porta-potties outside that were handicapped, but you would have to leave the villiage area to use them.

You feel the christmas spirit and its a nice display and walk around the park. The annoying part is that you have to follow a path and cant really take any shortcuts so you can get to the food or restrooms until the end of the park. We brought our 2 kids and they where hungry when arriving. We thought we could by food, so it became a matter of rushing through the park, we had some snacks with us that helped a little. Could be nice with access to food from the entrance and not wait until exit The food is super disappointing, heated junkfood, its cheap but not worth it. The sign said hot chocolate. Was really looking forward to it, just to be disappointed it was hot cocoa from a machine, so powder cocoa. I recommend eating before going there.

Lots of lights and cute displays to see. It was super packed on Saturday, but the staff did a great job directing traffic to park. There were too many people so we didn't go inside the gift shop or get food. Lines at all the good photo ops. Definitely recommend coming with cash, the line is shorter than using credit.

A wonderful walk through light display. So beautiful and nostalgic . Young and old will enjoy it. Easy terrain wheelchair accessible. Great price.

Great place for sure. I will be back again next year. My family had a great time and the smiles on my daughter's faces was worth it all

Nice nostalgic walk through the Christmas Village. Some displays showing their age, but kind of expected. Some displays were unlit, but that's the frustrating part of Christmas displays -hard to keep up. Lol All in all, it was fun, watching the excitement of the little ones, and walking down memory lane.

We went for our dad's 75th birthday on a full moon night. I would not recommend taking your older loved ones here. Hilly, gravel trails are what you walk on. We loved the enthusiasm and knowledge of the volunteers. We hated that more tickets were sold than expected (which we know helps the wolves) and we didn't get the small group tour to learn. The wolves are majestic and their howling beautiful. We did not get to see the entire sanctuary because there was not enough volunteers, that made the trails clogged with too many people. We took chairs and carried them. That sucked. You DO NOT NEED CHAIRS. There are benches and a fire pit by the gift store at the end of everything. My suggestion: bypass the moon nights and go when you can score a small group tour of the ENTIRE facility. We were thankful for all the knowledge the pony-tailed volunteer dropped on our large group of about 100 people. We appreciated the no kids under 16 rule for the moon night's too. There's such a rich, wonderful history to this place and we wanted to hear all of it. 5 stars for the wolves. 5 stars for the volunteers. 1 star for over selling tickets. Bottom line: go for a day time visit with a small group.

We actually had the pleasure of staying in one of 3 cottage's on the property. We stayed in the Paymaster's Offfice. It was an adorable cozy place that had a gas fireplace, a large air jet soaking tub, kitchenette that included a coffee maker, electric tea kettle, microwave, cook top with two burners, dishes, silverware, pots and pans. Breakfast is included with your stay and was delivered to the cottage by Maggie. Also included is a tour of the wolves. In the early morning hours, we had the pleasure of hearing a symphony of wolves. What a beautiful way to wake up. Everyone should experience it at least once. They take great care for these beautiful creatures. Our tour guide Michelle was very nice and knowledgeable about every wolf on the property. They all have a story to be told. I highly recommend going in the fall when the wolves are more active due to the cooler weather.

I loved my visit to the Wolf sanctuary. The volunteer was awesome and he worked there for over 20 years volunteering, extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot. I will certainly be going back when all the leaves are down so you can have complete full visual of the wolves. The grounds are pristine and well kept. Can you tell I loved it there?

We did the full moon night walk. The wolves were on and off active. We learned a lot from the guides. I wish you were able to know the entertainment before booking. There was a poet our night and not live music.

This is a really interesting place to visit. I would recommend it! It is an experience you will remember for a long time. You get to see them up close and personal. How they interact with each other and the guide does a great job explaining anything you want to know about them. You will find it educational and entertaining with guided public and private tours. Book ahead when they have limited availability. They also have a gift shop if you want a souvenir.

This place is incredible. The tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable, the wolves are respected and intentionally cared for, 1.5 hour out from Philly - worth the drive. Will visit again. Close to Shady Maple if you want some good food after your visit

We had a private tour with Denny; he was such a knowledgeable tour guide and passionate about the sanctuary. We got to see the beautiful wolves before their feedings, so they were active and eager to be fed. Hearing the wolves howling was amazing! In the 2 hours we really got to know most of the 55 wolves the sanctuary cares for. Denny was amazing and made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience!

The place has a lot to offer with plenty of activities for both adults and kids. The food is good, though definitely on the pricey side. Sundays get really crowded, so expect a lot of people. Overall, a fun spot but a bit expensive.

My first time at the fair and what an experience!!!! So much to do there and many cool lil gift shops and stands. Parking was super easy also. We can't wait til next year to visit again!!

Went to the PA Renn Faire and as always....it was amazing!!! The costumes, the food, the ale!!! Parking was a breeze and there was virtually no wait. Scotch eggs y'all!!! Also the Peach Vanilla Cider. That was from another planet!

The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire is always a great time! The entertainment is usually great, the food is always excellent, and just the overall environment is fun and enjoyable. It is a rain or shine event so you better be prepared because they don't stop no matter what the weather does. Yes it's harder to enjoy when it's raining, but as long as it is warm enough just suck it up and enjoy yourself! The Jousting is always awesome, the idea of living the medieval life speaks to my soul LOL.

The grounds were exciting and diverse. The characters were talented, well dressed, and extremely entertaining. Though, during the final Pub Sing on the last day of the season, one of the main characters, King James of Scotland, kissed his right hand man. I don't care what each person's personal deviant affiliation is, that's between them, their partner, and God. What bothers me is when they put their preferences on display on the main stage without giving the audience a choice as to whether or not to watch. There are many children in the audience and mine were left with questions I was not prepared to answer during a fun family outing. The last time I went to the PA RenFaire there was no signs of sexual preferences or innuendo on display for the main story line events. We steered clean of all the shows that were marked Not Suitable For Children.

The rennfaires are always so much fun... expensive, but fun... haven't really found any food that I'd order again. I need to plan to stop somewhere for breakfast beforehand next time.

We go here for the Renaissance Faire and it's a hoot! Semi permanent structures add to the setting as you step into a fantasy world based on ye olde England. Some merchants, including food, only take cash.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great sales in some stores. Plenty of free parking. Regular outlet. Nothing special. Some of those have regular prices, some have good sales. Plenty of variety.

These outlets have prices so good it took my old lady four hours to spend my whole paycheck there rather than only two hours it takes her to spend my whole paycheck when we go to King of Prussia Mall. Some of the stores are outlets, and some of the stores are just regular stores not offering outlet pricing. For example Lids is not a “Lids Outlet” it’s just a regular Lids store. So be aware of that but still a great place to shop. Worth driving 3 or 4 hours to.

On the drive from downtown Lancaster a hot one started cooking🥵!!! We were going to Tanger anyway but had to make a quick stop in the bathroom by the Auntie Anne’s!! Boy, hats off to the cleaning crew!! Checked out the scene and like a cat I sprinted into my box!!!! I built the appropriate nest(pic) and went to work!!! I only use public restrooms in extreme emergencies so I was pleased at the condition of the spot!! Then it was off to browse a couple shops which I was able to do comfortably!!! If you’re in a pinch, check it out!!!! Thanks again!!!!!

Stopped by the Tanger Outlets for a quick shopping trip. This outdoor shopping center has a great mix of stores, including Kate Spade, Coach, Vineyard Vines, Nike, The North Face, H&M, and many more. I appreciate the open layout and easy parking. Joining the Tanger Outlet Club helped me save even more, and some stores also offer a military discount, which is a nice bonus. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Large area and very easy to park near the store you want to visit. Clean and nice!

Purchased hats for me and the children. Received awesome customer service! I definitely recommend LIDS!

We had a wonderful time at Hershey Gardens! The roses were stunning and still in full bloom, even in late summer. The Japanese Garden was a highlight—especially the meditation spaces, which provided such a peaceful atmosphere. While we didn’t have any young children with us, we still really enjoyed exploring the Children’s Garden—it’s creative and fun for all ages. Overall, a beautiful and relaxing experience. We’re looking forward to coming back with our grandchildren in the future.

What a marvelous afternoon! I definitely will plan a longer visit, so much to see and experience. Lots of easy parking leading up to the Gardens. Butterfly exhibition, year-round! Great gift shop with local products and souvenirs. Thousands of blooming rose bushes when I came, mid-September. Unbelievably gorgeous. I didn’t get to the Children’s Garden or anything beyond the rose bushes, I was always over-stimulated and hot (bring water & snacks!), but so happy I came here. Plan ahead and enjoy!!

What a wonderful experience. This was the first time at Hershey gardens. The gardens were beautiful, even in October, the roses were still in bloom, and there were plenty of activities for kids to do. The gardens are large and there is a lot to see here. The main attraction is definitely a butterfly garden, it was wonderful! I'd come just to see that again!

I love this place! So pretty during early October as the leaves change color! Great weather for the garden! And the staff is great!! I recommend visiting in the fall after school starts or in the spring before school starts then you can take your time enjoying everything! Im glad I brought my camera to take some pretty photos!

The gardens are really gorgeous, the roses were incredible. Fun spots throughout for kids to stop and have fun. We visited pumpkin Palooza and it was perfect for a fall fun day. The butterfly room has so many different butterflies, definitely check it out. They do have a family bathroom with a changing table for little ones.

A peaceful botanical garden with a space to meet and greet butterflies at the start. This garden is right next to the hotel Hershey. A beautifully curated garden with lots of nooks to sit and read a book or walk and talk through. It may seem small but the winding paths take longer than you think. This is a great way to decompress after Hershey park or go for a walk after your spa experience.

The Hershey gardens is beautiful no matter the time of year! I was there for thier pumpkin palooza and it was fantastic! The designs were really cool and they did a lot of work painting them! I was especially fond of the pac man set growing up with that. I greatly enjoyed all the painted pumpkins and learning about the creepy crawlers! I may make this a Halloween tradition!

So many cool animals to see, a nice very walkable smaller zoo with alot to see. We got to feed the otters which was so fun. Iris and Link were great little critters. We had to get the giant otter stuffy after that experience. Make sure to book ahead of time if you want to do a feeding. The zookeepers were so nice.

Beautiful zoo and such a relaxing, educational and fun time! Animals looked very happy an healthy and great exhibits. Cute gift shop and we look forward to returning!

The family loves to go there at least twice a year. Last ti.e, it was muggy and sprinkling on and off l, but the animals were very lively, noth indoors and outdoors, totally made the kids' day. I would suggest going about 2 hours before they close; not crowded at all, easier to get to exhibits and overall faster exploration nifty the whole zoo.

We were excited that this Zoo is now included in Hershey Park tickets. It was hot on the day we went and this area was shaded and cool. It was a great break from the heat and there was enough to see with about and hour or 2 of time.

My day is 3-1/2 yrs old & she absolutely loved the Zoo! Neat little place to hit while at the park. Very educational as well!

Good small zoo suitable for little kids. It is doable in 60-90 min depending on how interested the kids are. Just a heads up the parking lot is small. Best time to see animals active is when the zoo opens or early evening.

Hershey Park Zoo America can be entered from Hershey Park upper level. And is a great zoo to visit and leave the park for a look at some amazing animals and enter the zoo from a little gift shop.

This was a great place to learn about Hershey - not just the Hershey company but the town too. There is a scavenger hunt to keep younger kids entertained. Quite a few interactive exhibits. Add on experiences include the Chocolate Lab (make your own chocolate bar and learn about chocolate) and tastings. The chocolate bar experience at the lab is different than make your own Candy Bar at Hershey's Chocolate World. There is also a café where you can get something to eat or drink (great food and coffee options).

A great stop if you’re short on time! The museum offers a nice mix of the history behind the Hershey business and Milton Hershey’s lasting impact on the town. Well organized, informative, and easy to explore without feeling rushed. Perfect for anyone who enjoys learning the story behind the famous chocolate brand and the community it built. Chocolate tasting was a fun addition.

Had such a good time, and learned so much! Highly recommend visiting if you have the time. The staff are kind and helpful. There are also fun interactive things to do!

We loved it. This is an amazing museum for all ages! The staff is incredibly kind, always happy to answer your questions, explain everything, and help you. Stop by to enjoy a truly educational and fascinating experience!

Fun way to learn more about Hershey. Some really interesting interactive aspects to the museum which is great for kids. Spent about an hour walking around. We enjoyed learning more about the town. The gift shop was ok - it would be nice if some collectors tins or historic packing was sold to reflect more of the Hershey history or one of a kind chocolates, just available there. We paid extra for the chocolate tasting at the end for adults and kids. Very tasty. I do wish that kids could keep their tasting mug, especially considering the price of the tastings, as our little one really wanted it and it would have been a nice keepsake. A chocolate sample to take home would have also been really appreciated. We offered to even pay for the kids mug but were told no. All things considered it was a nice visit for an hour or 2.

The Hershey store is massive. Every kind of chocolate you want. Plus all the other candy's owned by Hershey, like Jolly Ranchers. Took the factory tour and it was quite informative.

Very informative museum about the man, the business, and the town. Friendly staff on hand for any questions. Interactive displays. Really enjoyed visiting.

Fun place!! Free Hershey ride through the hersey manufacturing process(totally staged and animated but interesting) so much candy!! A dessert area, fill your own Reeses Cup! Build your own candy bar and follow the whole process. There are plenty of food vendors there too all themed fir Hershey, chocolate and some savory selections too. You could easily spend hours there!

I have been to Hershey Park last Saturday and I loved it. The park was neat and clean, beautifully decorated for Halloween including a „scare zone“ at night time. Coasters were great! Especially enjoyed Wildcat‘s Revenge, Skyrush and Storm Runner. Will definitely come back!

It's a good park. I've been to many parks in the US and also in European countries. I can say that the price is a little high given the quality of the park. Overall, you can visit a couple of times. I can tell you that it’s better to buy express tickets if you go on weekends, because the waiting time is on average at least 35 minutes.

A sea of ​​positive emotions! Even though we were with our little daughter, who is 4 years old, even my husband and I managed to ride the highest slides, taking turns. I didn't really like the system by which we ate; it would have been better without it.

Went on a weekend during their $44.99 ticket deal which was the solely the reason for us going! I was pleasantly surprised with how fast we were able to get in just a 10 min walk from the parking lot to the gate and we were able to get on a ride right away. The rides themselves were very fun our son had a great time! We got there around 11:30am and stayed til almost 7pm. The prices were absolutely reasonable and the basketball employee gave my son an extra shot at winning a basketball. It was an awesome time and we will definitely be returning one day. I recommend buying the parking pass online it’s $10 cheaper! And go when they have a discount in their ticket price.

This park is amazing. Definitely better than what we expected! Family loved it and there is plenty to do for all ages. Oh yeah, the chocolate!!!!!!! Priced right. Coasters were awesome!

We loved it! We started in a super long line but it moved quickly. The staff was friendly and organized and kept the flow going. The park is SUPER clean and I love that there are restrooms all over. There were a lot of choices for rides (my kids are not big coaster fans yet), as well as food. One weird thing was a lot of stands were closed and it was pretty busy. I wish we had time to go to the water park, but we only had time for the day. We will be back! A great park to visit!
