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

My BF and I came here in Jan, I completely forgot to make a review 🤦🏻 It was my first time snowboarding, so I fell.. A LOT! But it was still fun to go down the first simple slope slowly. It does use a lot of your energy, I'm gonna be honest. Still had fun, came home with bruises, hahaha. Worth the trip.

We went for snow tubing and it was fun! Lines were a little long but did go fairly quickly. It was very controlled, so it's very safe and still a fun and enjoyable experience. You go down the hill faster than it looks!! Great for all ages.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Snow tubing was a complete success. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Organized, although it could get packed. Will definitely go again for snowboarding and skiing activities. Super kid friendly

My family and I had an amazingly fun experience in these trails, all very well taken care of, it was very rare to find icy patches in a trail. The snow was perfect even though it had snowed a few days before. The staff was very nice and helpful and everything from the lift dynamic to first aid and staff attention went great. The most fun we had this week!

Shawnee Mountain is a great spot for families, especially for kids learning to ski. Our children took lessons, and the instructors were patient, engaging, and made sure they felt comfortable on the slopes. The beginner area is well designed, allowing them to build confidence quickly. The mountain itself is perfect for learning, with well-groomed trails and plenty of space for beginners to practice. Rentals were easy to pick up, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d definitely come back for more lessons and family ski days!

I visited 10/6 with some family and friends. We attended the Food Truck Festival and road the Ski Lift for a scenic ride. Overall it was a good experience. It was $10 to get in and then $10 to ride the lift. Good truck food varied. I wish there was more than 1 options for drinks as the line was long at times. Additionally, I wish the ski lift let us off at the top to take pictures and walk around at the summit! (Maybe an idea for future)

This place was FANTASTIC! My husband and I took our 4 year old and 2 year old after a disappointing day at another corporate skiing place the day before. We arrived nervous that our kids just wouldn't find the right environment to learn and feel confident. Ashley at Guest Services building greeted us and answered all our questions about their tracks and what was offered for such younger skiers. This place has EVERYTHING a parent of littles needs to not only teach them to ski but also to actually enjoy the day. Our boys were literally out skiing from 9:30 am until we dragged them off at 6:30 pm. (Of course with some delicious hot chocolate and snack breaks) This place has the best beginner hill to learn on, long (but not too long) carpet to start, a wonderful chair lift that goes to the same hill the carpet does, just a bit higher up so the kids still felt confident. The layout is very family friendly! From the rental shop being next to the kids area, to there being a family locker room with diaper changing stations in almost every bathroom. The cafeteria was accessible with kids, had a warming fireplace to heat them up and had great snacks and food options at a reasonable price. We are so happy and grateful that we found this place before we had to throw in the towel. Both of our kids went from never skiing to going down the majority of the beginners slope by themselves. We can't wait to tell everyone about this plane and would HIGHLY recommend all families to skip the commercial ski resorts that don't have families in mind and support this place instead! Thank you for such a memorable and epic day! ❤️

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.

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.

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!

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.

We had a great time snowboarding at camelback. It’s about 2 hours from the city and 20-30 minutes from the Poconos. We went on Saturday and was pretty busy - as expected. But the rental section was very organized and efficient. The prices do go up closer the the date , so I recommend buying your tickets in advance ! The lift lines were about 10-15 minutes wait time. trails were well groomed but got icy towards the late afternoon. Really cool lodge on top of the mountain with nice views , good food & drinks. There’s even live music in the main lodge at night.

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.

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!

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.

Mt. Airy casino was kind to me during my visit. Had the buffet with some other family members and we really enjoyed it. Baked and fried fish, shrimp, excellent soup, fried chicken that was nice and moist. Peanut butter cake and ice cream for desert. Had so much can't remember everything. Dinner buffet was 40 dollars a person. I would encourage everyone to give it a try. Next stop was the casino floor. Soon as I walked out of the buffet I found an older quick hits machine that was screaming at me to play it. Played for an hour and walked away 300 dollars up! Of course I lost all of it by the end of the night. Had a great time and broke even.

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

I did not stay in the hotel, but the casino was one of the worst I have ever seen. First, the air quality is beyond poor, if you're a non smoker who values your lungs, this is not thr place for you. They have a no smoking section, but you would never know it, thr ventilation system is inadequate. Many machines are not just old but damaged. Card slot and entry keys not working on 75% of machines I played. Really couldn't review much as my lungs were irritated and my clothes smelled like smoke. Will never go there again

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.

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.

Rented a cottage for a few nights which was exactly as described. No frills, electric, bunk beds, picnic table inside and out, a heater and ceiling fan. The bathhouse was about 200 feet from our cottage which was convenient. The bathhouse was well maintained and the shower water was HOT! spring is still coming to life and the trees are not in full bloom but beautiful nonetheless. Spent one morning kayaking the lake, seems to be fairly shallow and a lot of growth, fishing wasn’t successful. Walked conservation island which is a nice mile loop. Checked out the eagle conservation area but unfortunately didn’t see any eagles. I know the cabins have basic appliances, these do not and it would be a bonus if there was at least a microwave.

Lovely place for paddling, swimming, and hiking. The main lake is just about ideal for kayaking or canoeing. I recommend checking out the Little Falls Trail, as well. Lots of nice views for a relatively short hike.

One of my top 5 PA State parks! Beautiful hiking trails, huge lake for kayaking and swimming, Momma Bears concessions, clean restrooms, 5 campgrounds, Conservation Island, Observation Station is a hidden gem

Campsites are reasonably spaced out for Pennsylvania parks (other parks are much worse). The park rangers are great. I arrived after the office was closed so just went to my site to setup camp. At some point in the morning on their rounds they had come by and placed my parking permit on my car for me. Saved me a trip back down the road. Was very considerate.

Awesome camping along the water at Pickerel Point. Some nice hikes and a beach with concessions. There's some businesses in the village within the park for supplies and teats too.

Promised Land State Park Review: A Must-Stop Camping Destination in Pennsylvania I visited Promised Land State Park during an East Coast camping trip, and it quickly became one of the most memorable stops along the way. This park truly stands out for its size, serenity, and natural beauty. Even with over 500 campsites spread across multiple campgrounds, it never felt crowded. The layout is smart, the spacing generous, and the peaceful forest setting adds to the sense of calm you get the moment you arrive. The hiking here is excellent—trails are well-marked and varied, from short scenic loops to longer treks past creeks, waterfalls, and wooded ridges. Whether you're looking to stretch your legs or spend a full day on foot, there's plenty to explore. What impressed me most was how well maintained everything was. The park staff clearly take pride in keeping Promised Land in great shape. From the clean facilities to the quiet, undisturbed feel of the forest, this is a top-notch destination for anyone traveling through Pennsylvania. If you're exploring the East Coast by RV, campervan, or just car camping—Promised Land State Park is absolutely worth a stop. ~DLM-Campervans

My rating is based on my fishing experience. The lake over all is very nice, has a beach, boat rentals, park like setting etc and is 4 if not 5 star. As a fisherman though the boat launches are shallow for 16ft and larger boats. Definitely can be done but you may need boots or dont mind getting wet. The lake itself is very weedy by mid to late June. Some of it is unfishable. The edges look amazing and there are fish it just takes effort. I did better in the center of the lake where the weeds were 1-2 ft under the surface. I caught at the edges too but also caught weeds. Nice enough lake but for fishing I would only go early Spring or Fall once vegetation dies off. Multiple other lakes I'd rather fish and I live 6 mins from this lake.

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.

This zoo offers a unique experience with interactive animal feedings, including giraffes, goats, and deer, and a close-up view of animals like lions, tigers, and wolves. The staff was friendly and informative. The price to enter was reasonable. It was clean and well-maintained. We did order from the snack stand, options were limited but prices were reasonable as well. It does look like other families packed meals which is good to know..

This zoo pleasantly surprised us. Alot of great animals and a chance to see them up close and personal. Jethro the giraffe stole the show. Such a sweet and kind animal.Drew his handler was beyond awesome. Took time to explain and answer any questions we had. Zoo is perfect for kids and adults. Certainly will keep visiting this zoo when ever we are in this area.

We spent the most amazing day at Claws N Paws celebrating our daughter’s 6th birthday! 🌿 It was so peaceful — we arrived first thing in the morning and practically had the place to ourselves. A beautiful walk through the woods paired with so many incredible animals made it such a special experience. The girls loved every moment (and so did we!). Highly recommend for a family day out!

Well, we spent a little over 2 hours there. The animals were housed apart nicely, so there was a good bit of walking. We found the walkways a bit rough, but truly, we are in the poconos with trees and a variety of weather. It kind of added to the atmosphere. The walkways were very wide...so easy to accommodate large groups. Def a big variety of animals...and well cared for. My granddaughter enjoyed it, especially being able to see the animals eating and moving around. I think it def would be a place to stop in. As described, it truly is open air ..so you may want to double check the weather forecast.

It was a good surprise. I mean, there is nothing fancy about this zoo. It is in the middle of the woods and it is pretty small but we were impressed by the animals they have. When we went there, there was not many people so you can easily see it all in an hour. The only thing is the feeding times, where it is worth waiting and doing it with the star of the zoo, which is the giraffe. People who works here are extremely nice as well. If you are in the area is a good option for young kids, we took our 4 years old kid and he loved it.

We very much enjoyed this little zoo. There were animals and experiences here that we can’t see or get at our zoo at home. Loved that it was mostly shaded so even on a warm day it was enjoyable to walk around. The enclosures are a bit dated compared to other bigger zoos but the animals seemed happy and content. We saw lots of zookeepers around caring for the animals. My daughter especially loved feeding the tortoises and the lorikeets. We had a really fun day here.

The kids loved it. I was there a long time ago and it was awesome and more interactive. Needs a bit of an update and the cages cleaned. As an adult I have a hard time seeing animals in cages but I'm sure they wouldn't live long in the wild being in captivity for so long and I know most of them are rescue animals.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Absolutely wonderful experience! We happened to stumble thru right before their tour! Nick and Bill were very informative and fun! We even got to see some of the workers and behind the scenes stuff! I still can't believe the tour was free! A wonderful must -stop if you're in the area!

We visited early morning on a Saturday in late June 2025. We got there just a few minutes before opening since we were staying at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. Amazing hotel to stay in if you're in town for the Steamtown National Historic Site. It was a converted old train station. There is a giant parking lot and you can kind of look around at the trains in the parking lot and in front of the visitor center while you wait for them to open. The ticket and information center is right at the front when you walk in. We picked up maps, junior ranger books and purchased our train tickets for the 10:30AM ride/tour. Sadly the Locomotive Shop Tour started at 11AM and there wasn't another one until 2PM. The train tour returned at 11:15AM so we wouldn't make it in time and we had a tightly packed itinerary for the day. Next we walked to the left where the Bookstore museum shop is. It's in adjacent building to the Oil House. It's actually a fairly nice sized store with a bunch of neat stuff. This is also where the NPS Passport Cancellation Stamps are for this site. They are right behind the counter and there are 2 stamps. We dropped all the stuff off at the car and went into the first building (Visitor Center). We went through it pretty quite because we noticed that they had a handcar Experience from 10-11AM and a line was starting to form. Never tried a handcar before and it was much harder to get started than you think. Momentum is your friend though. The ranger let all 5 of us get on. 2 on each handle and one opposite of him on the cart. You go out maybe 50 feet, stop and then turn around to go back. It was a lot of fun. By the time we were done we went through the Technology museum to the other side where the train ride/tour was. We had to go fast to get in line since they are not assigned seats and first come first serve. We wanted to make sure we got seats next to each other. We were the second group in line. We decided to sit in the way back. There are 2 passenger cars next to each other and they are not the same. They do have rangers/staff on both trains as you're going. They were very strict about staying in your seat while the train was moving and there were a few kids on our train that the rangers/staff kept having to remind. Conductor will come by and punch your ticket as well. It's pretty cool because the hole punch is the shape of a train. The train doesn't go too far before it stops and turns around to head back to the station. it was a fun experience and for $6 per person it wasn't too bad. I think 5 and under were free. It was also a pretty full train. Not sure if it was sold out or what. After we got off the train at the same place we got on the train, we continued round around the circle into the Roundhouse. Here there were a ton of parked trains with signs and you walk on like a high up platform to see them all. You can't really get super close to them unfortunately. The locomotive shop is also attached to this section of the building and where you would go if you had purchased that particular tour option. We continued lastly into the History Museum portion and looked around a bit. This was the portion we walked through the fastest honestly. Kids weren't too interested in the history. They liked the technology and seeing the trains more. The last building we came across was the theater but it was closed for renovations or something during our visit. So we were not able to watch the park film. I'm sure if we were able to watch the film, the kids would've been more interested in the history aspect. Kids finished their Junior Ranger Booklets and we turned them back in at the front Ticket and Information Center and they got their badges. We ran into museum shop to get them stamped and then we were off to our next stop for the day. Overall it was a great experience and we packed a lot in for just under 2 hrs. Since we had to run through everything so quickly we would 100% come back in the future. Take more time in the museums and also do the other tour. Maybe the theater will be reopened.

We recently visited this museum, and I can truly say it is worth a visit. From the very beginning, the atmosphere draws you in and makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. Our guide was outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and ready to answer every question. The way he presented the historical facts made the entire experience both informative and captivating. Being inside the house itself felt surprisingly comfortable, as if the history around you came alive. You could really appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of everything on display. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a visit. The guide was exceptional, and thanks to him you genuinely feel immersed in history. Thank you, Helen

Beautiful preserved mansion in Binghamton that conveys the spirit of gilded age. Mansion is brick constructed not only on exterior but also its interior walls. Guided tour was quite informative. There is ample parking next to the mansion and near the library. Area might be sketchy though as I saw person shooting up drugs in mid-day at library’s parking lot.

Awesome little museum. It’s a miracle that so much of its history gets preserved til today (thank you, Monday Afternoon Club). I am mesmerized by the vintage furniture and the abundance of shapes in this house. Animal elements ranging from fish, squirrels, birds, griffins, lions fill in the nooks of this house. Adorable! I hope more people get to visit Phelps Museum and to see how women’s club is involved in the story of this house. Tour guide Joe knows the inside out of this house, thank you for leading us through history!

The Phelps Mansion is a magnificent Gilded Age home located in Binghamton, NY. The house was built in 1872 by architect Isaac Perry, who also worked on the NY State Capitol building. The mansion was owned by Binghamton businessman Sherman Phelps. Altogether, the house has 9 bedrooms, four bathrooms, a full kitchen, and has fireplaces in almost every room. Some of the best highlights of the house are the wood carvings that can be seen in different rooms. The staircase is also a stand out because of its large size and black walnut woodwork. You will also notice that most of the rooms are very “tall” and have high walls and ceilings. Most rooms also have large mirrors to create a brighter atmosphere. The dining room is one of the best rooms in the house with its long dining table and intricate wood carvings located around it. The library also is unique with its fireplace. Many other rooms in the house are decorated with artifacts from Binghamton’s history. Be sure to check out the paintings throughout the house as well. Most of the furniture in the house is not original to it, but the house goes out of its way to depict what the house would have looked like when it was first built and at the height of style. The Phelps Mansion offers both guided tours and self-guided audio tours. It is best to buy a ticket on their website for a tour. It is possible to buy a ticket at the door. The Mansion does a great job exhibiting the history of Sherman Phelps and his family, but Binghamton as well. This is a great place to visit in Binghamton.

The house is absolutely spectacular. I have already been there twice and intend to go back. The staff is super nice and very informative. Can't wait to return and see the house during the holidays (I've heard it gets decorated). Truly, this piece of history has hit the jackpot when it comes to being preserved and kept as it would have been when it was built. Others are not so lucky. But, I'm sure glad some are. Stepping into this house is almost like stepping into the world of any history lovers dreams. All of the furniture is antique. The woodwork is utterly impressive. And the house has a very rich (no pun intended) history. As a bonus, even the bathrooms that visitors can use are quite nicely decorated, beautiful, and clean. One hundred percent would recommend that people visit. Edit: Went to see it decorated for Christmas and it was gorgeous.

My husband and I immensely enjoyed our house tour with Joe, our very knowledgeable, easy-to-understand tour guide. The property is well-maintained and happily will be preserved as a reminder of Binghamton’s rich past history. Being from New Jersey, I knew nothing of the area at all and this tour enlightened my curiosity.

Absolutely my favorite historical place in Binghamton. Their programs are wonderful. The docents are so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the house and its history. I've come back repeatedly and learned something new every time!

The paved walking path has plenty of room to avoid other dogs while walking. It's a very pretty walk along the Chenango River.

So I would describe this property as a nature park with a few sport entertainment features. The park is large and beautifully manicured as it flows along with the adjacent river. Fishing lake, playground, volleyball courts, soccer and ball fields and a outdoor stage are a few of the features. Parking is plentiful and as with the rest of the property, clean and well maintained. Kudos to the city or county for providing this awesome park for the community. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.

I came here for a nice safe place to run outside that’s paved and has some scenery. Was not disappointed. 😎☀️ Lots of parking, pavilions, playgrounds, courts, people fishing, and open spaces for family activities. While busy, it is nicely spaced out so there is some privacy if wanted. Highly recommend if looking for a place to enjoy the sunshine with friends.

Great place to go for a picnic and a nice 2 mile walk.

This is a beautiful park with ample picnic areas, restroom facilities, amazing playground for the kids, walking and biking trails. The park itself has a loop walking trail that is approximately 1.25 miles. Paved, mostly flat with a few small inclines that average about a 13 foot incline. There is also an additional trail that is connected and runs along the river easily adding a few miles round trip. This park is beautifully maintained, security patrolled and open year round until dusk. During the season and holidays the park has areas decorated by community events such as pumpkin displays and one of the most wonderful Festival of Holiday Lights I have ever seen.

Been here quite often for 5k race and running on my own. The running areas are well paved. Lots of parking. Good for runners and walkers that want minimal incline/decline and paved path.

A very beautiful environment to unwind, relax, and enjoy fresh air.

What a great automotive museum... Wide variety of autos from early 1900s into the late 1900s.... Nice variety of motorcycles as well... They have a room of New York State made items... Another room that has automobiles trucks tractors that get changed up every year around June.... Room is also available for parties and special occasions to use...

Awesome museum for car lovers! Wonderful asset for the town to have this great car museum. Not fond of the temporary 80s car display, but that's a me problem not a problem with the museum. Staff are exceptionally helpful. Wish I had more time to spend during my visit. Will have to return soon.

This is an incredible collection!! I'm so glad I stopped here on my way North. So many amazing cars! I could have spent the entire day here!! Unfortunately I only had a few hours to spare on my trip.

If you like the old-time cars, this is the place to go. So many classic cars and other relics to see. They even had a Delorean there!

Lovely museum with lots of cool cars from since 1920s! You can find information and fun facts about each item too. Plus the staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. You can find merch & a Ford model T to hop on at the entrance/exit. Definitely a nice stop for a roadtrip adventure 🚗

A hidden gem in the hills of NYS. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing through or staying nearby. We enjoyed touring this beautiful collection and will return to see new additions in the future!

Nice hidden gem in the small city of Norwich. If you enjoy antique cars, the collection is impressive and well maintained. Clean and informative.

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

Very clean, professional and friendly staff. My boys love coming here! We enjoyed the s'mores kit, Starbucks coffee and the Greek Peak Salad. Just make sure to check on the days and hours of the activities to plan accordingly during off season times. We will definitely be returning for the winter activities. Thank you to Hope, the manager for assisting in a slight issue that we had.

Went to Greak Peak for a birthday getaway. Awesome place to stay so much stuff to do in one central location. Definitely recommend the steakhouse in the lobby ...fantastic food. Super family friendly. Only giving four stars because we were a bit disappointed that they didn't have a pool for hotel guests unless you paid for the full water park.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful spot! The waterfall is stunning and the short trail gives you great views from both the top and bottom. Easy to reach, well maintained, and perfect for a peaceful nature stop.

Not far from Ithaca! Great hiking trails with amazing views of waterfalls and rock formations carved by the stream. Not as long as Watkins Glenn’s so it’s perfect for a quick hike.

Wow! These Falls are absolutely stunning! The Hike up to the top has a lot of stairs. However it has places to sit and rest. We went early to avoid crowds and it does have crowds. I felt safe hiking even though a few spots didn’t have railings. It’s well worth the climb and it’s dog friendly !

A fun place to bring the kids for an afternoon. Short story: our kids loved it and it was worth it for us. Nothing especially stand out about it, but was perfect for our afternoon trip. Long story: We went on a Thursday afternoon (4pm-8pm). My 5yo and 2.5yo boys loved it. The kiddie pool wasn’t open at first, they said due to short staffing, but after a little bit it opened up and was open until about 7pm. Luckily he did great on the bigger kid area, but it wasn’t busy. If there were a lot of bigger kids running around on it, he might not have done as well with it. There are 4 larger slides: 2 that required being 42” or taller (they advised adults not to ride these because I would probably hit my head…lol), a larger one that required a tube that you could ride single or double and required being at least 42”, and the fourth required being at least 48” tall. The wave pool was nice enough, there’s a pool and a hot tub that are indoor/outdoor that are fun. The food was classic theme park quality, but we expected it and didn’t mind. I paid $12 for 4 chicken tenders, a soda and fries-which isn’t too bad in my opinion. There are also a few other restaurants nearby that we didn’t try. We dried off and ended the night with a half hour in the small arcade, which was a fun extra activity. Overall not a bad place, fun for kids, and we would come back.

Water park was great for kids with variety of slides and places to play. Kids had fun and enjoyed themselves. Lifeguards were a disappointment, many just sitting on chairs, it’s hard to lifeguard when you are slouched over in your chair. If an emergency actually occurred there is no way there reaction time would be quick enough. Never been to a water park where lifeguards are sitting. Child hit her head in one of the slides and cut her finger… also slipped in wave pool. When we went to first aid they didn’t even ask what had happened when asking for ice and a bandage. Safety and rules of the slides were not being enforced by the lifeguards either, many kids fooling around , running and pushing and nothing was said or done. Water park was good overall just don’t think guest safety is at the top of their list!

A pretty nice indoor water park, not so big but good enough for kids from 6 months to 8-9 old to have fun. I wouldn’t say older kids because of limited adventurous water rides. Tickets not very comparably for playing adult or kids over 42 inches $42 compared to six flag resort at about $50 but more luxury rides and options. But non-playing adult is only $18. One specialty worth mentioning is their outdoor heated pool which is awesome during winter time and hot spring (smaller size)Also got arcade games available. Food is average pricing but for hamburger is only bread and beef patty, no lettuce, pickle, tomato or anything.

False Advertising & Poor Customer Service We've been loyal customers for 4-5 years, but this experience was beyond disappointing. The listing clearly showed a furnished cabana, yet upon arrival, we found only basic chairs—nothing like what was advertised. On top of that, modifications had been made to the cabanas without any prior notice. Why am I paying this price if the accommodations are not what were promised? If the amenities and experience don’t match what was advertised, then the cost should reflect that. Instead of offering any sort of discount or resolution, we were simply told we could return it—nothing else. After years of coming here, we expected honesty and better customer service. Unfortunately, this experience has left us questioning if it’s worth returning.

Great facility but they don’t accept cash. You have to spend 15 minutes filling out everything online just to use the facility because they don’t trust their employees to take cash. Cash is legal tender and for you to not accept it at all is beyond insane. My kids love this place but let me choose how I want to pay why do you need my birthday and emails for everyone? Just let me give you money and use the waterpark.

The water park was nice. Didn't have to wait to get on slides. Lots for everyone to do. The lifeguard staff needs significant training. The Lifeguard working Rapids 3 (Orange tube slide). Was pushing the tubes down before people were even ready leading to two kids getting hurt. One of which was my son. My son was crying at the bottom and clearly in distress but the lifeguard just starred at us until she saw my wife get in the water to help. Another lifeguard was on their cellphone while working a slide. Definitely a lack of training.

Have been coming here for many years, and today was the first time ive had an issue. Kids were throwing a football in the pool and the adults were not adulting. We waited a bit to see if anyone was gonna stop them and no one did. The lifeguard actually gave it back to them to throw at one point. When it finally came at my son and almost hit him inthe face knocked over our drinks and we got up packed up and went to the counter. A ma ager said we could get a refund hopefully we will....but totally uncalled for. There should not be any football throwing...its too small an area and too many little kids running around jumping in....especially today. Parents fault I get it...but stop it before it starts and say no to the football. Could have been a trip to the ER and a much different outcome if we hadn't been paying attention.

We went here on a weekday. Pretty quite and less crowded on a weekday. The Gorge trail was little treacherous but it was worth it. A great view of the waterfalls. Make sure you do this hike on a pleasant weather. Sunny day might kill you

Not a popular state parks so we came here with less expectations and were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful hikes. Gorge trail was pretty flat hike. Lots of waterfalls to see till the 115 ft Lucifer falls. We saw folks taking the rim trail too to view the Lucifer falls from the viewing deck. Trail to the swimming hole Enfield Glen falls has a pretty flat trail. Not very crowded too. But swimming was closed when we reached at 4 pm. Folks can take the trail from the lower to the upper entrance but we drove as they have parking lots in both places.

Starting from the Old Mill, the Gorge Trail is an unforgettable hike through some of the most stunning natural scenery in the region. The trail winds along dramatic rock formations carved by centuries of water flow, with cascading waterfalls and lush greenery at every turn. The stone steps and ledges offer breathtaking views—but also call for good, sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven and slippery in spots. This is a mild to moderate hike that rewards every step with visual splendor. The sound of rushing water and the cool shade of the gorge make it a refreshing escape on a warm day. Whether you're an avid hiker or just out for a scenic walk, this trail is a must-see.

Well worth the hike to see the upper falls! Take the gorge trail to see the best view of the upper falls. It is a nice hike with lots of stairs, tree roots and rocks. There are about 100 steps when you get Close to the point with the best views... But worth the hike!

A must see whenever you are visiting Ithaca!!! Beautiful stony trail that takes you to an amazing array of cascades and waterfalls throughout the park!!! Lucifer falls was the highlight of my day!!! Trail has lots of steps so take your time when visiting and enjoy the views!!

This one is gorgeous. You can do a loop , it has waterfall, river and you literally feel like walking inside a nature sanctuary. In awe of what I saw there, will definitely go again

Amazing place with heart stopping scenery!! The park is VERY clean. Trails are well maintained (and amazing). Swimming area is legendary! Everyone is super friendly and happy to help. I lost my watch while using the diving board…they found it!! and returned it to me!!! I just can’t say enough great things about this place….🙂❤️

It is one of the most beautiful universities I have been to. Looks like I am standing in the sky watching downside hills, rivers , buildings; also like standing on the buildings hundreds years ago, feels how the past people think and learn in the university. The waterfalls is great to watch and it’s free parking after 5pm. The only bad thing is that when I am passing the walking road , one young people just drive until he sees me , and yell on me which is his fault not yield on the walkers on the yielding sign of walkers. Be careful if you walk over there , seems some young divers there is careless driving.

A quiet, historic campus perched on a hill above the small town of Ithaca. The stone buildings are beautiful but feel a bit tired—roads are rough, parking is a nightmare, and the campus, while scenic, feels somewhat isolated and less alive than other major universities. Highlights: • Uris & Andrew D. White Library: Gorgeous, especially the cast-iron stacks in White Library. Feels like walking into a magical archive. • Sage Chapel: Breathtaking interior. We walked in as a student practiced Bach on an instrument that looked like a piano but sounded like a pipe organ—absolutely heavenly. • Café Jennie: Tucked inside the Cornell Store. Great macaroons, cozy atmosphere, and shelves of books by Cornell authors. • Morrison Dining Hall: Modern, clean, with a good pasta bar. • Cornell Dairy Bar: A hidden gem for fresh, creamy ice cream. Worth a visit for the views, the libraries, and the intellectual charm—but be ready for hills, potholes, and a sense of quiet detachment.

Beautiful campus, had a great tour. Their ice cream was delicious!

The most beautiful campus ever built 🌸🔥🌄

We received a very nice prospective students tour. I guess I will be updating this review if we get accepted :)

Campus was very spread out and not as historic looking as expected. However, there are some beautiful stone buildings sprinkled around campus. One cannot undervalue the power of an Ivey league education. My blood runs big red.

Excellent university. Top notch architecture. Would have given 5 stars but toilet paper thinner than my grandma’s breath.

This is a dramatically scenic set of trails! We hiked the Rim Trail and enjoyed spectacular views of the gorge and the falls. Be prepared for a challenging walk with a lot of elevation change. We did the Rim Trail clockwise, but the park actually advises going counter-clockwise for a more gradual climb. We learned why the hard way: the start of the clockwise route is a very steep rise with lots of steps. Trust the park's advice—it would have been less effort to hike it the recommended way! A quick note: we couldn't hike the Gorge Trail because it closes mid-October, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The Rim Trail itself is well-marked and fenced, so there's no danger of accidentally getting near the edge. Overall, the views are truly stunning and worth the effort.

This is a wonderful place to get outside and enjoy a hike. The views of the waterfall are magnificent. It was well worth the three hour drive to get there. Another natural wonder in New York State has been crossed of my bucket list! Yeah! 😃😊

This is a great place to visit! It is a beautiful easy hike thru a wide gorge to the waterfall! And yes, you can explore the bottom of the gorge along the way! Popular hike, so best to go off peak times! There is also a nice, quiet hike along the rim. Part of it is fenced off at the rim for safety. There are several views of the gorge below. You can park at the gorge entrance (bathroom across the street) or along the rim at a waterfall view point (bathroom).

Nice place for hiking or walking with kids. Trial to the falls are very easy and flat. Prapobly you need about one hour to complete the hiking, depending on your speed. But is worth it falls on the end are very nice. When I was there water level was pretty low. Will be even better when we get much more water flow.

This park has some nice trails. One of the trails leads to a gorgeous, tall waterfall that is an easy hike. There is an overlook of the falls that you can drive to. There is a small gift shop that dis not have power when we arrived so we couldn't buy a souvenir. That was sad but overall, it was a great day.

Magnificent hike!!! If you have 2 hours, do the full loop that goes around the back of the 215 main falls. There is even more gorge and another lovely waterfall- incredible. (You need to be able to hike stairs.)

Taughannock Falls State Park, near Ithaca in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, is home to a magnificent waterfall that plunges 215 feet—making it one of the highest east of the Rockies. For travelers, the Gorge Trail offers an easy, accessible half-mile walk that leads directly to the breathtaking falls overlook, perfect for all skill levels. Alternatively, the North Rim Trail provides spectacular, elevated views of both the gorge and the falls from above. Don't forget to explore the park's other amenities, including swimming, picnicking, and access to Cayuga Lake. Parking fee:10$ Entrance: free

We were not offered any drinks, just given water. Waitress was rude. When I thanked her for taking our order, her response was "Yup". Dogs being allowed in the dining area. Do not see how this isn't a health violation. My food was gross. Ordered the fish fry. Came out overcooked and greasy. The fries tasted like the fish. Will never go there again

We ate lunch at the Crystal Lake Cafe today because our choices were sparse. We had just been to the Taughannock Falls State Park and were very hot from the hiking trails. It was hot and humid (August 21, 2019). When asked if we wanted to eat outdoors or indoors, we asked if the indoor section was air conditioned. We were told flat out that it was. Well, it wasn't. But being so tired, we stayed in the non-air conditioning. That set the tone of how our service was going to go. To cut to the chase, the Grilled Cheese, the Cuban sandwiches, and the wings were fine however, the potato fries were in the oil a little too long. Our waitress never checked to see if everything was alright with our meals nor refilled our water, basically forgot that we existed totally. You say, "Well maybe it was busy or maybe we were in an out of the way table?" No to both. We were one of only two tables there and were right in the middle of the dining area. And, our waitress was friendly and outgoing to the only other table there - a Caucasian couple - as a matter of fact, she asked THEM how their meal was and was very nice to them. Yes, we are not Caucasian. We left a 15% tip (I know, we shouldn't have even left that) and wrote on the receipt what we experienced. Our advice, skip this place. No food is good enough to tolerate this kind of treatment.

We visited during the Wine & Herb Festival and though the wait was a little long (but not surprising with how busy the place was!) the food was absolutely delicious. The recipes are unique, the quality of the ingredients astounding. I was thoroughly impressed and can't wait to eat here again.

Prompt service. Food was very good with an interesting, varied menu for such a small place. I had NE clam chowder and corn fritters with chipotle honey butter. My husband had the same soup with a tasty, ample sized smoked salmon salad. After a tasty meal on to a wine tasting @ Americana Winery.

Quite location, especially on workdays. We were here with the whole family on Monday. Got a table outside without any issues. Very friendly service and of course the menu suitable both for adults and kids. Check the pulled pork sandwitch. You will never forget it. :)

I can't really say much about the food because we never got any. We had to wait 5 minutes just to have the hostess show up. Once she did she couldn't even tell us how long the wait was to get seated outside. So we sat inside. Then we waited 10 minutes. No service. At that point we decided to leave. As soon as we stood up a server said "Oh I was just going to help you". Well too late. It gave us enought time to find another place to eat.

Not sure how this got the 4.4 stars. Just stopped for lunch and I wish I hadn't. Rude waitress, the only thing we got to drink was water. Never even asked if we wanted anything else to drink. When the word "YUP" came out of her mouth the tip went away. And the food was blahhhhh. I have had better. Oh not to mention they allow dogs where patrons are eating.

Filmore Glenn State Park is a well-maintained park with good staff, costing $8 to enter. It features a great pavilion, swimming, and camping areas. I chose the recommended 1.5-mile Gorge Trail for a scenic hike, but it was cut short by a hazardous, out-of-order bridge; a warning sign at the trailhead would have been appreciated. The park also hosts weddings, with restrooms and another pavilion visible from the Gorge Trail. Overall, it was a good mid-day hike experience.

The trails and waterfalls are beautiful. Well worth a bit of hiking. The road to the upper area is extremely rough so be warned. The Cowshed Falls are a must see. The camping is open field right on top of each other at the road's edge.

Gorge trail was awesome, both rim trails were very scenic. All trails were well maintained. South rim was moderate hike. North rim from entrance is a steep hike up stairs to start then nice trail after. Also appreciate all the tables and benches along the rim trails especially right at the top of both rim trails. Perfect resting spot after the climbs.

Nature's wonderful spot, there's tables & some grills first comes get them 😁, bathrooms n showers, nice playground, 1 hoop but it's located in the parking lot, usually people don't park near, there's camping sites available, there's long & multiple trails to choose, the trails are not leveled, some stairs in areas, multiple wooden bridges, stunning views, you will connect with nature, 1 of the trails you walk most of the time by the water, is so relaxing 😌, they have a seasonal natural pool, no chlorine or stagnant water, with a designated area to jump in while the lifeguards are on watch, is truly a gem, make sure to bring trash bags with you to keep clean this amazing place. There's a small fee for cars. 1 volleyball net.

Fabulous walk and stunning views along the Gorge Trail. Not a difficult hike. Lots of waterfalls and shade.

One of the nicest State Park campgrounds I've been to. Sites are huge but the campground itself is small. Great hiking trails

Fillmore Glen State Park is a very nice state park. The best part of the park is hiking the gorge trail. It has beautiful scenery, picturesque waterfalls, and is nice and cool on a summer day. The gorge trail is a moderate hike, with few challenging spots. If you are just hiking the gorge trail it is a 2.5 mile out and back hike. The trails around the gorge are nice, but don’t offer the same beauty that the gorge trail does. Compared to other similar NY State Parks like Watkins Glen, this trail is easy and much less crowded. Parking here for day use is easy. There are campsites in the park and they looked nice. Add this hike to the list of the most gorgeous places in Central New York.

My family loves Critz Farms. I took my kids blueberry picking today and the bushes were beautifully full, easy to navigate, and the pricing is always fair. Additionally, we have been getting our Christmas tree there for the past seven year. It is one of my favorite traditions.

My family of 6 enjoyed a fun Saturday afternoon at this farm. We picked apples and had a great time in the corn maze. My toddler and 10 year old liked the play areas. The animals were fun to look at. The live music was a treat to listen to while we had lunch. The corn hole and ping pong table in the food area were also great. The kids eat their food quickly and we got to take our time while they played with this things. Over all a great place to bring the family for Apple and pumpkin picking.

A cute farm for family with small children and those looking for a relaxing day. There are ciders, beers, farm animals, tractor and cow rides, apple picking, and more. Cost $10 to enter. Staffs are friendly.

Visited Critz for the first time in years with my family! We got in with no parking issues, no wait lines. Plenty of space to park with a small fee. The pumpkin patch was huge and a great selection. Variety of kids activities to keep them occupied from tractor rides, animals, slides, and more. A great destination for fall activities. The little shop had all sorts of goodies, decent prices. Good food options all around. Will be back next year 😄

It's blueberry season and they are prime for picking! Critz has a vast field of blueberries to pick from, containers available at tractor pick up spot. Tractor wagon rides available out to field, it's easily walkable being just past the pumpkin patch if you want to get your steps in. $3.50 per pint. Check out is in the gift shop that has lots of seasonal items for sale. No fudge available or pies this trip. We stopped in the tasting room and enjoyed flights of their craft beers and ciders. The line moved quickly and the staff were all pleasant and accommodating! The tasting room is a modern barn style with a good amount of seating at the bar, indoor tables, and patio. My choice of flight ranged from the light Pilsner, Fruity, and tongue tangoing sours! Don't wait until fall to visit your favorite farm, enjoy the fresh summer crops! We went for an afternoon of Fall and fun on the farm and were not disappointed! We started with some beverages in the tasting room, I ordered a flight that ranged from blonde, to summery sours, and pumpkin spice. All were tasty and surprisingly one of the sours was my favorite and one of the best sours I have sampled! My daughter had a hard cider float, and a Full size sour for her BF. Service was fast and friendly on a busy afternoon. After relaxing and enjoying beverages we were off to venture the farm. Live music playing in the lawn out front, more live music down by the tents offering fresh food of the grill. Burgers, hot dog, and sausage sandwiches were enjoyed hot off the grill. Also cider donuts and locally made cheddar cheese. We took a tractor ride into the apple orchard and picked out pumpkins in the patch. Visited with the animals and hit the gift shop for some fall goodies and fresh fudge! They also have a great corn maze! It was a Sunday full of family and Farm Fall fun!

Had a great time. There are lots of interesting farm related things to do. Beer and wine tasting, apple picking, pumpkin picking, cider, and doughnuts. Many activities for the kids. Including petting zoo, haunted house, playgrounds, and various games. Wagon rides are available. The gift shop is well stocked with trinkets and snacks to make your visit memorable. I recommend you check it out. But be aware that some dates will be better than others depending on what activities are going on.

I absolutely love this farm. My family and I have been coming here for the past 10 years. They have so much to do from pumpkin picking, apple picking, corn maze, petting zoo and much more!

Love this lake, some great houses 2 rent. Waterfalls galore!!

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

Great lake very limited launches is the only issues I've had clean water nice scenery good fishing nice spot

Wonder why it took us so long to discover this beautiful lake and town. Lake is crystal clear! Town is full of shops and restaurants.

Skaneateles Lake is a true gem. One of the cleanest lakes in the US. Crystal clear water. Great fishing, boating, swimming. It's heaven.

Nice place on the Southside to do a bit of kayaking. The lake was a bit rough but the wave action was a good time.

Skeneatles is a beautiful place . The lake view is mesmerizing. The road gives you vintage vibes

Green Lakes was impeccably maintained, the trails were beautiful and facilities were amazing compared to many other parks i have been to. Everything seemed very new and upbeat. Excellent spot for a run, the water is so beautiful in color. There was a swimming beach that was getting "groomed" flat early in the morning. Definitely a spot to hang out with the family. Nearby kids playgrounds looked very nice and new. Plenty of activities for a family or small group

Went for a walk around the lake. Perfect weather, completely calm water, strange greenish hue to the water. Overall really awesome. The entire park seems very well kept. I can see this being a very busy place in the summer with a nice sandy beach and huge playground for kids.

Camping was a dream in our site. We had a 30 amp service with no problems. Plenty of room at our site as well. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Tent camping sites for those that tent looked very nice too. Restrooms and Shower were well kept and clean. We will return next year at the same site or another that we checked out during our stay. Also the "dump station" is easy to get to with portable water located there as well

I liked walking around the lakes mostly, when I had my good boy. Frisbee golf is the usual reason for going now, but it has a lot to offer for being so local. Bring some food, drinks, whatever else and have a great time🤙

We spent the first three days of our trip at Green Lakes State Park and had a wonderful time. The blue-green water is absolutely stunning and makes for a beautiful backdrop whether you’re walking, biking, or just relaxing by the shore. We enjoyed exploring the hiking and biking trails with our dog, and even rented kayaks to get out on the lake — such a peaceful way to take in the scenery. The campground was well-kept, and it was the perfect spot to kick off our trip. We’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a mix of outdoor activities and incredible views.

We camped here 4 nights in the pinewoods full hook up site. It was amazing. All the facilities are clean and well kept. The beach and trail around the lake are beautiful. There are playgrounds in the campground along with volleyball courts. There's a camp store with ice, wood, and other things (candy for kids). I do not recommend the concession stand. I will definitely come back here to camp and enjoy the entire park. I highly recommend!

Green Lakes State Park is absolutely amazing! The small entrance fee is more than worth it for everything the park offers. The beach area is beautiful and well-kept, perfect for families to enjoy. The massive playground is incredible—multiple structures, plenty of space for kids to explore, and shaded picnic tables with charcoal grills nearby for a full day of fun. By the beach and lifeguard area, there’s even a bar-and-grill style concession stand, which makes it easy to grab food without leaving the park. Clean bathrooms are available, which is always a plus. The walking and hiking paths around the lake are stunning, with lots of peek-through areas to catch beautiful water views. For those looking for even more activities, there’s a golf course at the top of the hill and plenty of parking throughout the park. This place truly has it all. I would highly recommend Green Lakes State Park as a must-stop destination for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a perfect day outdoors.

This was a wonderful soul storing moment. Being able to walk into the past in the present felt really surreal. I grew up in Mississippi with an abundance of stories about Harriet Tubman. I was honored and humbled , by my visit to her house. The rich legacy of her house and all that it represented. I definitely plan to return once her house is renovated.

Oh my goodness, the tour guide could have his one man show! Very entertaining and such a great informational tour. The first hour is the guide, Paul, telling us about Harriet’s life. In his words, “a home without a story is just a building”. After the story telling, we saw the inside of the Home for the Aged and walked the property. It was a great time! Well worth the visit! I also, a white middle aged woman learned a lot about the PC words to use.

We enjoyed an excellent tour with an terrific guide. We learned so much about the amazing life of Harriet Tubman. She will always be our hero. Loved the huge timeline sign...pics attached.

The tour is 100% worth a stop! Rev. Paul tells the true story of Harriet's life and the importance of preserving her story and legacy. History classes do not teach her full story and it deserves to be told!

I can only echo what others have already said! Paul is truly a one man show, I enjoyed every minute he guarantees that everyone will learn something that you didn’t know, and that is for absolute certain ! Just be sure to call ahead and reserve your tour time because you don’t want to miss it ! (Tours start at 10 am and 2 pm, you should look at the website for more info)

Words cannot adequately describe how wonderful this experience was. Highly recommend. Paul is a fantastic storyteller and walks you through her amazing life. Allow time to thoroughly enjoy this. His presentation and then the walk through of the home took approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it was worth it. I learned so much and the space felt very honoring. Make time to visit ABC hear the fulness of Harriet’s story.

Paul is such a fantastic host/decent. He really knows his subject and presents the history in such an engaging way.
