Kalahari Waterpark Resort Convention Center

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Resort hotel
It's a fun place for all ages, but especially for kids. You can stay all day in the water park. It has a cafe, bars, and restaurants within the water park. It also has a convention center for large group meetings or exhibitions. It also has an arcade next to the water park. This year it has new check-in kiosks so that customers don't need to wait for long to check in. The only thing I want to point out is the water pressure of the showerhead. It's too low. It took me a long time to wash off the body soap.
Robin J — Google review
Good place to stay the water park is nice. The arcade is a blast. Food is kinda expensive especially breakfast. There are really good places close by is you want to drive just a few minutes. For conferences it has a nice facility. Rooms are clean big bathtubs and nice shower. Places to hike and walk and lots of activities.

Kalahari is a great place that has everything all in one place. I am a annual visitor and I must say it gets better every year. What makes this place the best is the staff! They are AMAZING!! So personable, helpful, and customer oriented. Even with the large crowd, they stay so grounded and friendly. I have to say the only consistent negative for me is the spa. Still amazing staff but it is very difficult to get an appointment I have seen it empty but you aren't able to appointments. Maybe they need additional help but I find that to be the most frustrating part. I also think there should be some additional flexibility with some of the services. I did not get to do my hydrotherapy, which I feel should have been able to be moved because there were loud and rather rowdy patrons there at the time of my session. I wanted to relax, not listen to loud, raunchy conversations. Otherwise wonderful!
Aimee J — Google review
The waterpark itself is great. The employees are very nice and helpful. However, our room smelled like stale cigarettes even though it’s a non smoking room. The beds are really uncomfortable. All the food, drinks, snacks etc. are way overpriced. Luckily there are some places , not too far off the resort you can go to get meals and snacks. Also I felt like signage wasn’t great. It was hard to figure out where to go when we first got there. I wish they would have details in the room regarding the different restaurants, and their menus. We had to walk to each restaurant and ask to look at a menu to then decide it was way overpriced.

From the moment we walked in, this indoor water park completely exceeded our expectations. The entire place is spotless, well-organized, and filled with non-stop fun. Whether you’re coming with little kids, teens, or just looking for a day of fun as an adult, there’s truly something for everyone. The slides were incredible—fast, exciting, and totally safe with attentive lifeguards at every turn. The lazy river was the perfect way to relax, and the wave pool had just the right amount of thrill without being overwhelming. They also had a fantastic kids’ area with smaller slides and splash zones, which kept the younger ones entertained for hours. What really stood out was how well-run the entire place was. The staff were friendly, helpful, and clearly cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. Whether you’re trying to escape bad weather, planning a family day out, or celebrating a special occasion, I’d 100% recommend this indoor water park. We’ll definitely be back—and next time, we’re staying even longer!

Went for a quick getaway to use the pools only to have the pools shut down. Smell of marijuana permeated the room and the balcony so be careful with children here. Redd’s piano bar saved the rating from being only 1 star
Christopher G — Google review
Great place and service. Prices for food and the shops were a bit outrageous, but it's a resort. So, convenience was king, and they crushed that! The park is fun and exciting, the arcade kept the kiddos happy and the people were delightful.

Blue Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Winery
Food & Drink
Nestled in the picturesque landscape, Blue Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery is a delightful destination for wine enthusiasts and families alike. The cozy atmosphere invites you to unwind while enjoying live music that enhances the experience. With an impressive selection of wines ranging from dry to sweet, visitors can indulge in tastings that showcase the winery's commitment to quality. The vineyard also offers guided tours where guests can learn about winemaking processes and explore reserve wines, all organized with meticulous attention to detail.
My husband and I visited the winery the first time today. What a beautiful place! I had the Semi-Sweet flight tasting, which is my preference. I loved all the selections, especially Inspiration and Tiffany. So much that I bought 2 bottles to bring back home! Jayden was so friendly, courteous and welcoming! Great winery, I highly recommend it.
Eva M — Google review
The Best venue in the area without a doubt. Godfathers wine is world class, the others are also amazing. The owner is super high energy and it radiates through the entire Vineyard. You can eat here on Fridays along with a small car show. Enjoy drinks at tables actually between the vines. Quality live music that broadcasts inside all the buildings. Really a great friday night hang out spot. VERY photo friendly everywhere on property
Jonah H — Google review
If the goal here was to make me sip wine, pose for cute photos, bask in the sun, and devour amazing food… then mission accomplished. This place is a whole vibe, classy enough to feel fancy, but chill enough that I didn’t feel bad wearing stretchy pants. The scenery? Peaceful and Instagram-ready. The staff? Friendly enough that I almost asked if I could move in. Honestly, if relaxation had a headquarters, it would be here. 12/10, bring a camera, a good appetite, and maybe a designated driver.
Tina R — Google review
Stopped at their little shop outside the Lehigh Valley Mall and tried a wine flight with two slices of pizza for just $15. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the space was adorable with string lights across the ceiling and great music. Both the wine and pizza were delicious — can’t wait to visit the actual winery! 🍷🍕
Haley J — Google review
What an absolutely fantastic winery! I loved my first visit—the staff was super friendly and welcoming. On weekends they serve food for just $15, and wine flights are also $15. There was live music, plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, and such a great atmosphere overall. I would definitely return!
G W — Google review
Even as a non-drinker, I loved visiting Blue Ridge Winery—the views alone make it worth the trip! The charcuterie board was delicious, and those in our group who did the wine tasting were really impressed with the selection. A beautiful spot to relax or celebrate a special occasion!
Stephanie — Google review
Coming up from the city, this was a smooth drive and very worth it. The owner is around it seems and is such a humble guy. The drinks are great and good prices. We even took a bottle home. The food can be overpriced but that’s expected. I highly recommend coming up here on a date or in a group.

Sands Casino And Hotel

Simple lodging in a vibrant casino resort offering a mall, eateries & an indoor pool, plus a spa.
Great casino with easy access to the hotel and shopping outlets. Convenient parking garage that has free parking. Friendly and efficient staff. Decent ventilation with how much smoking is done in there. They have non smoking sections but it’s really just a large open space between the two.
Christine L — Google review
Not a great casino. Was there about 20 years ago and went again in 2025. Need players card to order drinks. Must play $5 to order and can only have one drink every 30 minutes. At least 40 slots broken. Casino is half smoking as well.

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

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

Reserved a room for Friday Night May 11. Arrived to check-in only to be rudely informed By an employee at registration desk that despite having an itinerary Number with a Confirmation Number confirming our reservation, They were over booked and they had no rooms available. After 15 minutes of waiting the hotel manager (I guess as she never Identified herself) rudely offered to shuttle us to another hotel off site. I recommend not wasting your time visiting the Sand Casino. Your better off visiting another resort.
Scott D — Google review
Wasn't allowed to bring my 20yr old son through the casino to eat at Emeril's Burgers and More. Don't know why security couldn't escort us to the restaurant. Last thing we wanted to do was waste money on the slots. All we wanted was a bite to eat. Security said the only option was the food court. Definitely not worth it.

SteelStacks

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Cultural center
Shopping
Art Galleries
SteelStacks is a 10-acre cultural center that emerged from the historic Bethlehem Steel plant, now offering indoor and outdoor venues for festivals, concerts, and community events. The site was revitalized in 2011 through a collaboration between local authorities, ArtsQuest, and other organizations. The ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks features performance spaces like the Musikfest Cafe and Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema, hosting numerous events such as concerts, film screenings, and theater productions throughout the year.
If you're in the area, or even if you're not, this place is worth the visit. Being from Baltimore, I'm familiar with Bethlehem Steel but had no idea these are the original factory. They have made a very cool exhibit to walk the stacks and learn the history of the factory. Then they've transformed the surrounding area to include a stage for concerts and a huge musical festival every summer. There's outlets, casino and restaurants within walking distance. This is a cool place and you should absolutely check it out. They even have an elevator for mobility challenged to get up to the stacks.
Ashley G — Google review
So cool. You can walk next to the old steel factory on a ramp. Came during a food and music fair that I had no idea was going on at the time. Supposed to cool during Christmas so I’ll come again during the holidays. Enjoyed foot and music. And just one drink. I was too sleepy for more.
Justin D — Google review
This is a very interesting place!! We love how they took something old, and not being used anymore, and made a venue!! We would love to see more places like this, rather than being torn down!! Preserve the history and let others be amazed by it!! My husband worked in a much smaller steel mill for 42 years and his dad worked at Bethlehem steel in Texas!! Very interesting!!
Freda N — Google review
I traveled through this city and I definitely made the right choice visiting this place. There’s plenty of parking, and the site is truly grand and impressive. You can really feel the historical greatness of the city’s steel industry here. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful. It’s a perfect spot for taking photos, and best of all — there’s no admission fee.
What's U — Google review
I'm not a huge fan of the industrial era, but this is a fascinating piece of history and interesting landmark. It's too bad that the native Americans that own it won't give it at least a spray coating to protect it, but I can understand their viewpoint. If you get the chance, I recommend one of the walking tours, where if you are lucky, you will have it led by one of the guys that used to work there.
Ray M — Google review
Truly an iconic place to visit! The walkway and staircase is so beautiful. Amazing garden with curated plants. The juxtaposition of nature and industrial is stunning. The bethlehem steel is one of my favorite things about bethlehem!
Alicia K — Google review
This was along the outside walk, where we climbed the stairs and viewed the aging steel works. Very interesting to see it at night - both surreal and quiet with the light casting shadows. The scope and size of the structures is impressive. Information placards and tidbits add to the sights I'd suggest stopping by to see this to anyone in the area
Erich W — Google review
Such an otherworldly feeling to the old steel works. Nice way to spend an hour or so walking around these huge hulking industrial edifices. Then it’s a 5 minute drive into Bethlehem itself for drinks, food and shopping. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …………………………………………………………………………………………

Blue Mountain Resort

Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Blue Mountain Resort, nestled between the Niagara Escarpment and Gregorian Bay, offers a picturesque setting for year-round activities. With 42 trails across 364 skiable acres, it's a haven for skiers and snowboarders. The resort also features family-friendly attractions and an indoor/outdoor Scandinave spa for relaxation. Located just 90 miles from Philadelphia and New York, it's a popular destination known for its long ski runs.
Blue Mountain has the most vertical of any ski resort in Pennsylvania. We hiked to the top today and had a great time making our way up the trail from the base. There were also a ton of mountain bikers at the resort today, too, so this must be a great place to downhill bike as well.

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.

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.

Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Farmers' market
Food & Drink
Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market in Bucks County is a bustling hub where locals and tourists alike come together. The market offers a wide variety of products, from fresh farm produce to unique items like video games, jewelry, and even pets. With numerous shops of all sizes and types, visitors can find everything they need at decent prices. It's advisable to bring cash as many vendors only accept cash payments.
Absolutely love this place, especially when the outdoor flea market is open. The inside has plenty of stores with great and unique finds, generally at a good price. They offer have a huge selection of various foods and a few delis. Literally anything you need from diapers to a pet rabbit can be purchased here. The outdoor flea market (as opposed to the indoor farmers market) is very cool because it is such an incredible assortment of vendors every week and you’ll never know what you’ll find. If you’re bored and you got a spare few dollars, it’s definitely worth the trip. Everyone is always very nice, there’s plenty of parking, and there’s indoor and outdoor seating. It really is a good time.
Kore — Google review
I think I've had more fun reading the reviews and comments than my actual visit. The Quakertown Farmers Market or the Q Mart as locals refer to it, is a local institution. Yes, maybe an ode to days past, but there are good aspects and yes, some negative aspects, but it is an experience. The kind of experience depends on your state of mind, and reference of experience. If you come to the market expecting the freshest of fruits and vegetables, farm to table meats, the latest in fashion, nouveau cuisine, guess again, that's a big fat nope. It's more of spectacle, a flea market if you will, where vendors hawk various wares, some fresh, some not so, some old, some new, some used, some that have seen better days, so I say in advance, buyer beware. There are baubles, doodads, trinkets, chatchkes, collectibles, dribbles and drabs of everything under the sun. Yes, you can find produce here, it's not the freshest, or locally sourced, but its here. There are restaurants of every persuasion to add to your caloric, if not not diabetic misery, some of them are delicious, and some...are just meh. On weekends, it can be crowded, you'll shuffle among the crowds, kids, parents, walkers and wheelchairs, oh my. Everyone once in a while, you get a glimpse of a real artisan, selling an authentic items, and at others, it's mass merchandise, some past or at the sell by date, secondhand, traded in items or a previous generations fashion choice. It is a kaleidoscope, a mash up, a carnival of goods. Its all relatively cheap, relative and cheap being the operative words. There are smells of fresh baked goods, fried foods, incense, body odor and a general dankness. I've visited here several times and there are few places like it. Sometimes I come for the Amish pastries, at others random tshirts, phone charger cables, or batteries for my watch. It's one of those places, that you just never know what your reach into your pocket to pay for. The Q Mart is always a mystery, wrapped in a riddle to me, like that box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Sometimes just people watching is enough. Oh, and pro tip, drive slowly through the parking, between the people and potholes, you don't want to be surprised. Should you go? Oh by all means, leave your high expectations behind and surprise yourself with what you'll find, or not find. It's one of the most base human experiences you'll find, whether you enjoy it or not, well that's up to you.

I grew up with something similar to this we called "The Auction" that was the exact same indoor round about of vendors, shops and food stands. Plenty to look at here if you are into a little thrift shopping, bargain hunting or looking for odds and ends. Haven't been through the outside part of it much. If you're looking for a place to just walk around and shop you will likely get much of that here. My personal issue is that the hallways are a little cramped and can't really walk more than three people side by side.
Ryan S — Google review
This place has so much to offer! There is something for everyone here. Video game stores, rugs, blankets, jewelery, vintage toys, vintage furniture, bikes, pets, crystals, vacuums, etc. Most vendors are pleasant and helpful. There are also restaurants serving food and drinks.

Nice visit however not as busy due to 4th of July holiday! Inside part of the mart there are lots of neat stores. Some new and some that have been here for years. Lou's surplus is in a new location around corner from old place. More visible. Fresh meats and fruits and vegetables. Fresh baked goods from Flecks ( still going strong) Cheesecakes are now $8.20 and single sticky buns are $2.50 There is a large pet and aquarium store and just a little bit of everything with quite a few places to grab a bite to eat or a snack. Now, outside behind the indoor market is the Flea Market with outdoor tables and a few barns with lots of antiques and collectibles from classic bicycles to collectible glasses, antique furniture and too much to write but I took a few pictures to help you decide if it's worth the visit. I think it is! Oh and if you happen to be in the back barn looking at some collectibles, say hi to Harry (dirty harry) the long time friendly knowledgeable older fella with the white beard and a friendly smile who can share some history and some stories about the Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market.

Coca-Cola Park

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Stadium
Fun & Games
Coca-Cola Park, located in Allentown, PA, is the home of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, a Minor League Baseball team affiliated with the Philadelphia Phillies. The park boasts a seating capacity of 8,278 and offers an exciting atmosphere for baseball enthusiasts. Since its opening in 2008, it has become known for its fan-friendly environment and impressive architectural design that provides expansive views of the field.
Great place to catch a game! Ticket prices are very reasonable, and there are tons of food options throughout the stadium. Staff is always friendly and helpful, and the whole experience is fun and family-friendly. Love that they offer shuttle service from the parking lot if the walk is too far. A perfect way to spend a spring or summer evening in the Lehigh Valley!

What? An experience similar to Citizens Park at the microscopic cost! And not to sound too dramatic but the food options are much better, cheaper, and even more easily accessible. The bars were on fire the night we enjoyed the game along with some after game fireworks. Highly recommend this place for families that love baseball or are looking for a great outdoor experience of entertainment. Highly recommend this field to anyone within a 100 mile radius or that travels with love of the game.

It was bring your dog to the game night and $1 hot dog! Love this. Ballpark!!!!! Seats are comfortable for an older fat woman. I don't think there's a bad seat in the park. Food is great! Loved seeing all the dogs. Great entertainment! Affordable way to see a professional ball game!

One of the best places to watch high-level Baseball at reasonable prices. Not only that, it's great fun! The only issue on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in September were a high amount of bees in the Picnic Patio. Made us a bit uncomfortable, but we did not get stung! Didn't ruin our rating. Wonderful time.

Coca Cola Park in Allentown, PA is an excellent minor league baseball stadium! It is home to the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the AAA affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. The area has one of the most enthusiastic fan bases in all of minor league baseball. The stadium is usually packed to the gills and an awesome experience is to be had here. Capacity for the stadium is a little over 10,000 people. Sightlines to the field are excellent. There are many luxury suites throughout the stadium. The 100 level and 200 level seats offer affordable seats with excellent options. The outfield offers standing room only seats on the grassy berm. In-game entertainment here is great. There are all sorts of team giveaways and fan based activities between innings. When a home run is hit, “brick smokestacks” in the outfield blow smoke as a tribute to the region's industrial heritage. Fireworks behind the Coca Cola sign also go off. The team mascot “Ferrous” is very similar to that of the beloved Phillie Phanatic. Concession choices are plentiful here. There are local favorites like the pork racer and pork parfait. Your standard ballpark fare like popcorn, hotdogs, nachos, ice cream and soda can all be found here. The team merchandise shop is huge and loaded with all sorts of Iron Pigs merch. The stadium is surrounded by large parking lots. There is enough room for everyone here, but it can be slow. It is best to buy your tickets ahead of time online for a game here, because games sell out fast. A great time is to be had here for all!

Hickory Run State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Hickory Run State Park, situated in Carbon County, spans over 15,990 acres and is renowned for its Boulder Field, a unique area covered with large boulders resembling the surface of the Moon. The park offers over 40 miles of hiking trails, trout streams, and Sand Spring Lake with a picturesque swimming beach. Additionally, it features a disc golf field and serves as one of three permanent spots for orienteering courses.
Highly recommend this park! We really enjoyed the walk along the river to the waterfall — peaceful and scenic. The rock formations are beautiful, especially in winter. Don’t miss the Visitor Center: it has an interesting exhibit and very friendly staff. A great place to relax, explore nature, and learn something new

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.
Allison S — Google review
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
Erica B — Google review
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.
Siddhi D — Google review
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.

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

Sellersville Theater

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Live music venue
Concerts & Shows
Sellersville Theater is a historic and intimate performing arts venue that hosts live music and comedy shows featuring both local and national acts. It's a great spot for date nights, offering live entertainment, dining, and lodging all in one place. On most Tuesday nights, the neighboring Washington House features live bluegrass or jazz music in the bar area. Meanwhile, on weekends and some weeknights, Sellersville Theater showcases performances from top musicians across the country.
Went to see Shonen Knife. They are an all female band from Japan, whose music is a combination of 70's style punk (Ramones) and Japanese Pop. The theater is intimate with good sound quality and not a bad seat in the house. Plenty of free parking in the area, but you might have to walk 1 or 2 blocks. Beer and wine are available in the lobby. Many local bands as well as natiinally known comedians and magicians have performed at the Sellersville. You have to watch the lineup because some big names also perform here and sell out fast!
Dierk B — Google review
Absolutely love Swllersville Theater. They have great seats, acoustics in the theater are fantastic. The music sounds great, and the artists/musicians are fabulous. I'm a member of the theater, and I often get a seat at the very front at a table or within a few rows. What's great is? Most artists will go up to the lab after playing and meet with the attendees. Just a few photos.

We came here for a show in mid-July. I bought tickets online the day of the event. My cell signal inside the building was basically zero and there is no WiFi so I had to go outside to reload my tickets for the scanner. The employee scanning tickets was very nice about it though. The seating goes straight back from the stage to the door. I am guessing this was a movie theater at some point because the floor is somewhat sloped so the seating rises as you go towards the back of the room and this means not to much struggling to see over other people’s heads. Even in row S we had a good view of the stage. The venue is pretty small. The seats are padded but weren’t the most comfortable I’ve been in. (Sorry no pic). They also weren’t the worst. The staff we interacted with were friendly. The band we went to see fell a little flat for me. I don’t know if it was just the sound set up for the full band or if their energy was just low that night. The opening act however sounded great but that was just two people with two instruments. Ticket prices were reasonable. Parking seemed easy for us. We arrived just as the show was starting and there was a parking lot across the street that we parked in. I had looked at the FAQs on the website before we came to find out about parking so we knew what to expect. We had no issues getting out of the lot either. We had fun.

I go to concerts here relatively frequently. It is a cozy theater that books top-notch talent. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom

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

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

I really enjoyed this park , it has a very charming feel to it imo . It's a decent sized amusement park ( I expected it to be much smaller) . The water park portion looked to be really nice as well. The layout is decent here , but there are some steep hills to walk. I was really impressed with Possessed , Steel Force , Talon and Iron Menace. I also loved that Chickie's and Pete's is on the dining plan here!! Also growing up going to Cedar Point all my life it was wonderful to see the Demon Drop still running great and getting to ride it was awesome!!
J — Google review
Overall, the park is really nice and offers plenty of fun attractions. However, I think they should limit the number of guests allowed in each day because it was extremely crowded, and the lines were very long. Some staff members provided great service, while others seemed uninterested in being there. My son had a great time, and it’s definitely a wonderful place for kids. I recommend reserving tickets online, as it’s cheaper than buying at the gate. Some restrooms were clean, but others were smelly and not well-maintained. The park itself is clean overall and has a nice selection of food and snacks, though the food is definitely overpriced. Get the season pass even it’s its first one day you save way more money. You can also bring a friend for 20$.
Robin Q — Google review
Dorney Park is always our favorite theme park probably because it's more reasonable compared to to the other park you paid a ticket for dry and water park, We took my sisters family in here for the first time she have 3 young kids and I'am proud to say that they love the water park, her kids is none stop playing on wave pool and lazy river, we came on opening at 11 and we got a nice shaded lounger area, the only downside is the customer service told us that season pass holder can get in early and we did not see anybody by the water park gate that letting season pass holder get in, we got so happy but got disappointed right there, they even put season pass entrance sign but like others we waited till 11 to get in, so this thing is false advertising and reason I only gave 4 star, But as always Dorney park is clean the bath area is decent the bathroom is maintained the best part is the all day dining that me and my kids truly enjoyed thru out the day. I highly recommend to avail all day dining to everybody you will not regret it, and season pass pays off we are coming back again specially on October for their Halloween.

This memorial is difficult to find but it has very detailed stories about the fantastic athlete Jim Thorpe was. Jim Thorpe's abilities were such that he made history many times, here is one occasion during the memorable game of the Indians against West Point in 1911. "The cadets tried in vain to stop his progress, it was like trying to clutch a shadow...it was a dodging game in which Thorpe matched himself against an entire team and proved the master.." one of the cadets who played against Jim Thorpe was Dwight Eisenhower...

Scenic Railroads
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, operated by the Reading & Northern Railroad, is a popular attraction in Jim Thorpe. The train departs from the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey station and offers various excursions, with daily sightseeing tours being the most popular. Passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the Lehigh Gorge, dense forests, shimmering river, and dramatic cliffs as they travel through the Pocono Mountains.
First time on this train and I've got to tell you this was a great train ride! I rode in the standard car and it was really nice. They play old-time music, and the whole thing gave it a nostalgic feel. I would recommend this to anybody, family friends it doesn't matter. The children I saw absolutely loved it. They also have a town that has so many different little shops and antique shops to go to. Across the street from the train is a restaurant that is outside. All the seating is outside and it was great. I would recommend this to anyone!

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.

Inside the mall there is a nice food court with a good number of fastfood options. You will find major brands like Macys, It is located about 25 miles northwest of Philadelphia. It is the largest shopping mall on the East Coast and one of the most iconic malls in the nation.The mall features over 450 retailers, including luxury brands like Nordstrom, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale's.

The mall is easily accessible via major highways such as Routes 202, 76, 422, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

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

King of Prussia Mall Review The King of Prussia Mall is massive and has just about every store you could think of—from luxury brands to everyday favorites. It’s clean, well-organized, and easy to spend hours exploring. There are plenty of dining options, so it’s more than just a shopping trip—it feels like a full day experience. Parking can get a little hectic during peak times, but overall the atmosphere is lively, and it’s a great place to shop, browse, and hang out.

The largest mall in the Philly metro area with the best offerings in all of retail. Designer and luxury brands have set up shop here. Great eat out options. The best place to shop in all of PA. Plenty of parking. Very close to highways

The mall is great! It’s beautiful (unlike most malls in the country), has a great variety of stores, is spacious, and has plenty of natural light. However, for one of the largest malls in the country, the lack of signage is a serious issue that needs urgent improvement. There were barely any signs indicating where the stores, restrooms, or exits were. I could only find the restrooms when I was already right next to them, and I had to walk around in circles multiple times just to find specific stores. It also took me quite a while to locate an exit when I was ready to leave. For such a large and well-known shopping center, better internal signage should definitely be a priority.

Best mall around. No empty stores. Clean. Safe. So many stores in every price level. If you can’t find things here, you’re simply walking around with your eyes closed. Positively love this mall- we come here as often as we can being an hour and a half away. Hopefully Mall death never hits this place.

This mall is awesome, if you plan on coming here if your not from this area I'd recommend you get here early because this mall is huge. High end rich folk stores on the top floor and the regular folk stores are on the mid and lower floors. They have everything you want here and my legs are still hurting from all that walking. Parking is free which is great

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

Bury The Hatchet King Of Prussia - Axe Throwing

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Adventure sports center
Fun & Games
Bury The Hatchet King Of Prussia offers an exciting opportunity to try your hand at axe throwing, a sport that has gained popularity in the United States after originating in Canada. Visitors can learn the art of axe throwing from experienced Axe Masters before engaging in friendly one-on-one games with friends or family. Each session allows for a two-hour reservation of throwing lanes, during which participants can play multiple games under the guidance of professionals.
We had an incredible experience at Bury the Hatchet for our small business team-building event. Reggie was a fantastic axe-throwing coach (axe master)—professional, engaging, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had fun. He walked us through the games, gave helpful tips, and kept the energy high the entire time. The facility was clean, well-organized, and perfect for corporate events or group outings. Highly recommend Bury the Hatchet for anyone looking for a unique and fun team-building activity or corporate event venue. We'll definitely be back!

Bury the Hatchet provides a great distraction from life. Getting a bunch of friends, colleagues, or family together to toss sharp objects is always fun. It’s such a simple premise, but axe-throwing is so freeing and calming. Yet, it provides a great sense of competition as well. One of the best parts of axe-throwing is that anyone can do it and anyone can get good at it. Hitting a bull’s eye, whether accidental or on purpose, provides an awesome rush of excitement. The opposite outcome is hilarious: when the axe bounces off the target because it hits at just the wrong angle. The staff delivers a fun experience while keeping everyone safe. They make sure you have proper form when throwing and they ensure that nobody is standing somewhere they shouldn’t.

Awesome time on Walk on Wednesday with 🪓 Axe Master Tanika 🪓 . Fun games based on hitting the 🎯 target. BYOB. Super chill good times. They also have billiards 🎱, air hockey and connect four games when you're not throwing. 14 Lanes! And the same location has escape rooms also.

Valley Forge National Historical Park

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

I try to get out the Valley Forge national Park at least three or 3 or 4 times during the summer, what a beautiful day to walk the trails and see the sites. I love the history behind us. They have a 5 mile loop in an 8 mile loop they also have trails through the woods and also through the field. This is an absolutely beautiful park. I like watching it through the seasons there’s also an excellent visitor centerwith light snacks, artifacts and some souvenirs. They also have bathroom facilities there.
KingVegan — Google review
One of the top historic national parks across America. Extremely well laid out and maintained across hundreds of acres of pristine park land. Only about a half hour from Philadelphia downtown and minutes from the King of Prussia mall. Easily accessible from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, 202 and 422 highways. They have a visitors center and offer trolley tours as well. Miles of very well paved walking trails are in place. Catch some of the most beautiful sunsets in the area. Must visit with family and kids

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

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

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

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

No. 9 Coal Mine and Museum

Mine
Museums
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of coal mining at No. 9 Coal Mine and Museum, located in Lansford, Pennsylvania. This historic site offers a unique opportunity to explore the oldest continuously operated anthracite coal mine in the area, which operated from 1855 to 2002 before being transformed into a captivating tourist attraction and museum.
The visit was an excellent experience. Complimentary parking is available on-site, along with a small but informative museum. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, which made the tour both engaging and enjoyable. As the underground temperature remains quite cool, it is advisable to bring warm clothing. Highly recommended.
Subhasis A — Google review
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.
Danielle C — Google review
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.
Thomas K — Google review
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.
Chris D — Google review
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.

The outlet offers a huge parking lot to accommodate weekend crowds, with well-maintained walkways and free parking. With over 100 different shops, visitors can find a wide variety of named brands offering decent discounts compared to retail stores. The mall features covered sidewalks, benches for relaxation, and beautiful green areas. However, during busy seasons like holidays or weekends, it's best to arrive early due to limited parking.
I’m satisfied with my purchase from this outlet. Almost all the brands I was looking for were available here. The prices were slightly lower than usual due to the start of the new year, which made shopping even more enjoyable. In the end, my family and I were able to choose the food we wanted at the food court, with options that catered to each of our tastes.😊

There’s no sales tax in Pennsylvania, and the prices at this outlet were quite satisfying. I bought quite a few things. There weren’t many people when I went, so the overall experience was great. The selection of brands was a bit limited, but I was still very satisfied.

This is a fabulous shopping destination.This is a shopping spot you definitely want to visit. During the week is the best time to go. I went on a Friday afternoon and there were no crowds or long lines in the stores. Parking is easy and accessible. I went to the Vera Bradley outlet store because they had a great sale going on. The prices were unbelievable. There are lots of spots to grab something to eat, including an indoor food court. Weekends and holiday times will be much busier but the sales will be hard to pass up. Plan on spending a few hours there especially if you go into a lot of stores. Have fun shopping!

This is a great place to buy clothes. I am from Reading, which is a place that doesn't have a lot of stores and things and I came here to check out this outlet and it is so great! Reading doesn't have any outlets at all, especially pretty ones like this one! Their shoe department stores all have my shoes size which was very difficult to find in Reading. The 5 and below also has a lot of great things and they had the light pink steering wheel cover that I wanted for a long time for only 7 dollars which is an amazing deal! Online on other websites like amazon have it for 30 bucks! I also love how they have a lot of vending machines with snacks and drinks and I also love the little strings lights hanging over the top of the outlet. It is an amazing mall! I can't wait to visit again! I highly recommend coming here! Their shoes are also super comfortable and have memory foam in them! I love this outlet so much! 🥰👏🏼

In addition to great shopping at a wide variety of outlet stores (clothing, food, jewelry, kitchenware, and more), this extensive outdoor mall makes for a pleasant walk—especially in the fall. Located just 10 minutes from King of Prussia via excellent highways, it’s an easy getaway from the urban scene. With a mix of high-end and more affordable outlets, there’s something here for the whole family. The food court is an extra bonus, and there’s plenty of free on-site parking.

Good shopping outlet. Wide and spacious but manageable. Excellent selection of shops. Plenty of parking. Visited on Sunday and it was excellent shopping experience with quite shops and no hustle. Prices are good but you need to work at finding a bargain. Food court is insufficient for the place side and more options of food without driving would be great. Still, great shopping experience.

Themed trips on a Civil War-era railroad include history tours, fall foliage viewing & Santa trains.
The Colebrookdale Railroad is a delightful experience that beautifully combines history with scenic adventure. Nestled in Boyertown, this historic railroad offers breathtaking train rides through the picturesque countryside, showcasing the stunning restoration of vintage trains that are a true feast for the eyes. The rides are not only visually appealing but also feature dining cars, providing a unique way to enjoy a meal while taking in the views. During the holiday season, the special services add an extra layer of charm, making it a perfect outing for families and friends. We had the pleasure of taking a tour of the train that was stationed at the time, and it was absolutely magnificent. The attention to detail in the restoration is impressive, and it’s clear that a lot of love and care has gone into preserving this piece of history. Additionally, the grounds feature a lovely coffee shop, gift shop, and ice cream shop, making it easy to spend a leisurely day exploring. Whether you're a history buff, a train enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun day out, I highly recommend visiting the Colebrookdale Railroad. It's a wonderful experience that brings the past to life!

I guess Facebook decided that my husband and I were into trains because I got an ad for Colebrookdale railroad months ago. It led to an entire week of riding the rails in Pennsylvania. We enjoyed the autumn splendor brunch in the lounge car today and it was absolutely fabulous! The Pullman cars are stunningly beautiful and the staff was super- they were friendly & efficient, kind and pleasant. The secret valley expedition was beautiful. We are glad we came and hope to come again

Had a very nice train ride for the brunch time slot! The train staff were very knowledgeable and kind. I had a nice conversation with one about different railways and he provided us a nice overview of the trains history. :) You can walk freely throughout the different cars which was nice. And it was nice standing outside as the train was going. The playlist playing was a lot of classic music that fit the vibe of the ride. At one point people were on the end rail car outside dancing which was a sweet moment.

Had a lovely time on this restored train. Great date or double date spot with friends. I would recommend booking a spot on the Beaver Car. While they serve food it's just salads and sandwiches. Save the money, eat in town, and enjoy wine and snacks in the beaver car. A young man played some songs on the violin, told there is a piano on board as well. Friends and I whipped out a simple card game and had a great time chatting.

Wonderful train ride & decent prices for tickets. Food items can be priced a bit high, but understandably so with food prices rising. The cars were kept clean & updated while keeping the old world charm. Be sure to visit the open air car (weather permitting) as it can give a unique & resounding viewing aspect while looking at all the leaf colors & landscapes. Be sure to visit some of the nearby shops for some local delicacies & tasty treats.

It is so worth it. We drove from Baltimore, MD. The drive was long but we made it and the view, the train wagons and the overall atmosphere felt amazing. Each wagon has a theme and a function. Some are more expensive than others but they offer food. They sell out pretty quick, so get your tickets with time. They also have an open area where you can sightsee. A great experience and loved the music they were playing, made us feel like we timed traveled.

We took a ride back in time on a classic train, and it felt like magic! The old-fashioned car train, the gentle chug of the engine, and the views outside the window made it such a cozy family adventure. Watching everyone smile and enjoy the ride — that’s what memories are made of. Loved it ❤️

Nestled in the picturesque South River, Crystal Cave is a captivating subterranean wonder that invites visitors to explore its stunning rock formations and rich mineral exhibits. This enchanting destination features an engaging learning center, artisan village, and a delightful crystal shoppe where you can purchase unique creations directly from talented artisans. The guided tours are particularly memorable; knowledgeable guides share fascinating insights about the cave's history while leading you through its breathtaking passages.
Beautiful setting and guided tour was very interesting and informative. Coolest part of cave tour was 54°, so you may want a light jacket. We visited on a weekday, so it wasn't very crowded. Gift shop was well stocked with shirts, caps and sweatshirts, also different types of rocks and geodes. I thought pricing was reasonable. Definitely worth seeing. Glad we went.

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

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

I couldn't believe people would be tied together and holding a ladder climbing over rocks to go to church 🤯The staff in the store was very friendly and welcoming. They have a lot of cute things to buy .I'd love to come back in Oct for the lantern

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful Walk with multiple bridges, with the creek running through. It was a nice way to ground and bring in peace.

Struble Trail is truly a gem! The majestic views, serene creekside points, and opportunities for birdwatching make it a perfect spot for nature lovers. It’s a great place to unwind and connect with nature.
Sameer S — Google review
Took a nice stroll on this trail yesterday with our children. My favorite part is that it is shaded. I enjoy walking trails in the summer but being sun bombed is unpleasant. This trail is well shaded. My husband and children had a blast walking along the water looking for rocks. My husband found broken pieces of old pottery. You get the joy of being in nature without walking through the mud
Jamie H — Google review
One of the best paved trails in the area. Very safe and not overly populated. Wonderful in warm weather or the fall. Careful attention is paid to the trail year round to warn nature lovers of hazards such as cracks in the pavement. There is a very steep hill that leads to a quiet neighborhood that is great for training.
Nickolas T — Google review
I hiked the Uwchlan trail which was beautiful and peaceful. This parking lot is for those wishing to hike the Struble Trail and/or the Uwchlan trail. Shamona Creek runs along most of the trail. I would probably recommend the Struble trial for biking, running, or waking the dog because the Uwchlan trail is more narrow. Like the Struble Trail, the Uwchlan has mile markers every 1/2 mile. The trail is mostly shaded and mostly flat, making it perfect for a hot summer day. The trail ends soon after passing Pennypack Country Club, ending on North Milford Road. The final mile marker you’ll see is 1 7/8 miles. You can continue forward if you wish, as there is a sidewalk running along the neighborhoods. I would come back to this trail because I live close by.
Nicole A — Google review
Really great trail and the people that maintain it do an awesome job 100%. Anytime throughout the year it's great. The only problem is oftentimes bikers. Two in particular are kind of crazy. The one guy had a yellow and black Jersey on and the other one had like some bright orange and red colored Jersey. Anyway, they came flying by me and it was no big deal but then it won't fly by a family with two kids and a third in a baby carriage and the one biker yelled back at the dad and the mom to keep their kids on the right side of the road. Which you should keep your kids on the right side of the road. That's fine but he's dopes were flying by so fast and didn't even give the courtesy on your left. They were just really jerks. If you see the bikers say hello, you'll know them. They're dressed fully ready for the tour de France And swerving in and out of people at top speed. They look like they're 45 years old too, so they're not like young kids and should certainly know better..

Reading Pagoda

Mentioned on 
14 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Perched atop Mount Penn, the Reading Pagoda is a striking seven-story Japanese-style structure with a rich history dating back to 1908. Originally intended as a luxury resort, it was later gifted to the city of Reading and has since become an iconic symbol of the area. While not open for interior exploration, visitors can still enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline from its grounds, which are open daily from dawn until dusk.
The Pagoda in Reading is a really cool and unique spot to check out. The view from the top is awesome—you can see the whole city and the surrounding area. It’s peaceful and a great place to relax, take photos, or just enjoy the scenery. It’s also a great ride if you’re on a motorcycle. The roads leading up are fun, with nice curves and a good climb, and there’s plenty of space to park at the top. The Pagoda has a lot of history too, which makes the stop even more interesting. Definitely worth the trip if you’re riding through the area.
Ivan S — Google review
This spot is pretty cool,it's a long and winding ride to get here but it's totally worth the trip,we did not get to go inside due to renovations but it was cool just to see something that holds so much history,the view is pretty amazing,it was pretty windy up there but it was an unusually windy day in general. I would recommend anyone considering taking a trip up here to do it. If for nothing else then the experience of it. I think this would be a hot spot for watching fireworks on 4th of july

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

The Reading Pagoda is one of Pennsylvania’s most unique landmarks, sitting high on Mount Penn with breathtaking views of Reading and beyond. Built in 1908 as part of a luxury resort that never happened, the Pagoda has since become a beloved symbol of the city. Its Japanese-style architecture stands out against the Pennsylvania landscape, making it a must-visit for history buffs, photographers, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Inside, you’ll find exhibits on its history, plus a gift shop. The best part? The panoramic view from the top, especially at sunrise or sunset! Whether you’re stopping for a quick visit or spending time exploring, the Reading Pagoda is a true hidden gem.
Anwar H — Google review
Great sunset views. Great place to take pics of ur car, great place to see the city lights at night n great place to view the mountain overlook. It woulda been a 10/10 but it’s a very sketchy area ppl wouldn’t stop blastin their terrible music which made it unenjoyable sadly. Luckily me and some other people bullied her into stopping but the loud music is a terrible problem plus the people up here who look like they wanna rob you for no reason. Cool spot tho otherwise
Miles M — Google review
Under major construction right now so really hard to get decent pictures and no access to the pagoda until they are done/ Such a landmark for Reading. The city is restoring it and I’m not sure what the target date is for completion. At one time it was supposed to be a nice luxury resort built in 1907. not sure that they ever got it going but it sure is beautiful!! They are taking donations for the restoration google pagoda reading for the site.

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
FirstEnergy Stadium, formerly known as Municipal Memorial Stadium, is the oldest park in the Eastern League and home to the Reading Phillies. With a seating capacity of 10,000, this classic minor league ballpark has been hosting baseball games for over 70 years. The stadium offers great views of the game and has received awards for its attendance levels. It's a perfect place for families to enjoy a fun night out with various activities for kids and adults alike.
Beautiful old ballpark! Absolutely first class stadium! The food is great, service is first class & the views are beautiful! Love the old style of this classic old ballpark! We went during the mega fireworks, absolutely amazing show! The Fightins won & we got to see some fireworks, what more could you ask for!

Very family friendly. All the seats in the ballpark are close to the field. And the price is right. Food was good. Parking good but a nightmare getting out of there! Added another 40 minutes on our hour drive home. Lots of fun being had in the park. It was Star Wars Night and Fire Works which were some of the best I've seen.
Diane M — Google review
Great ballpark to visit. Good prices. Nice long firework show after the ballgame. Fun mascot concert before the game and got several mascot autographs. Parking is free and close and yes you will wait getting out at the end but that is common at most any game or concert. Recommend.
Michael G — Google review
This ballpark is a gem! I was there for a high school reunion in the adjacent Redners Event Center and saw the game perfectly, but looking around, it seemed that there were no bad seats in the stadium at all! And you could see the amazing and extensive fireworks display at the end of the game with great clarity. I also took the time to check out the concessions and sports clothing store while there, quite a lot on offer. There was even a live small concert going on in the concession area at the end of the game. Definitely kid-friendly, and fun for couples, young and old. Parking lot and street parking after 5 pm was free but the roads in and out are one lane, basically, so prepare for a wait. You park at your own risk.

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

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. - Brewery, Museum and Gift Shop

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Museum
Food & Drink
D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. - Brewery, Museum and Gift Shop is located in Pottsville, Pennsylvania and is the oldest brewery in the nation, established in 1829 by German immigrant David Gottlieb Yuengling. The original location burned down in 1831 and was relocated to its current site on Mahantongo Street. The brewery offers informative tours of its day-to-day operations and a chance to sample some of their beers at the end of the tour.
Among all the domestic and imported beer brands, my preferred one is the PA brewery Yuengling. The name spelling looks very Chinese but it's actually a German name. This is America's oldest brewery and have been growing and expanding very slowly. Finally paid a visit to them and got a very detailed and informative guided tour. After the tour, also got to sample their most popular beer on tap. My most favorite one is the Flight, a light and refreshing beer. BTW, the tour and the draft beer samples are all FREE! 😊
Michael P — Google review
Amazing to see the hard work and dedication that went into building and operating America's oldest brewery up to present day. Our tour guide gave us detailed , fascinating stories for all parts of the brewery including stories behind the beers and behind the brewery operations across US History. I've visited many smaller breweries across the country and this has to be one of my favorite experiences of a brewery tour. Definitely recommend to those who brew, enjoy beer, or any history fan (beer drinker or not!).

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

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

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

September Farm Cheese is a delightful destination that offers a unique experience for cheese and ice cream enthusiasts. The shop features an array of delectable cheeses, jams, and old-fashioned ice cream made right on the farm. Visitors can indulge in flavors like Triple Chocolate Earthquake and Strawberry Swirl while also enjoying hot and cold sandwiches, soups, and fries for lunch or supper. Additionally, the store provides various food items available for takeout.
People from my work have brought in their cheesecake tarts, which are unbelievably good. So, I decided to stop in and check the place out for myself. We walked around the store, which is a very nice upscale kind of farm market. Your greeted right at the door by the case of cheesecake tarts. They have an ice cream area to the left and a cafe in the back. Everything was good and I would visit again.

Great discovery as a meeting place between friends in DE/PA! Have lots of cheeses, cheese curds, yummy ice cream too.

We had a blast at September Farm Cheeses! If you think there's only cheese, go inside and prove yourself wrong 😉 The staff there were all extremely polite, kind, helpful and pleasant. Can't say enough good things about the girl who was running the cash register for the sandwich shop today at around 12:45. I should have gotten her name so I could put a good word in with the manager, but I was flying solo today with three kids, so I didn't think of that. I'll find out who it was next time we go. I had one of the best turkey melts I've ever had in my life today. The kids had fun meals of chicken nuggets and smiley fries with Capri Suns. After that, we had delicious, super moist chocolate chip cookies. They also have ice cream (looked homemade, but we didn't try any today – next time!!) After lunch, the kids played at the playground on site.

I brought my three year old daughter here after depositing some trash at the dump. We got lunch, ice cream, played on the playground, and watched the goats. The crispy chicken wrap was really good, and it came with chips and plenty of pickles. It was big enough for us to split. It’s a good spot for anyone, but extra accommodating for someone with young kids.

I really love September Farms. Delicious things for sale, some gift items, very pleasant place to visit. One of my very favorite places. Charming play area. Good parking . I wish the prices were a little lower, but high prices are pretty much everywhere now. Everything I have ever had was very tasty. I just wish the higher prices weren't as high. It seems kind of ridiculous on a few things, like 3.50 for an extremely small children's ice cream portion today. Maybe a half cup of ice cream with no toppings or cone. But I still like going there very much. Beautiful business and people.

I ordered 10 Italian hoagies this past week for a family get together. I was sadly disappointed. They had less meat then previously experienced and I didn't see any cheese. The tomatoes were a little mushy too. I'm usually not too picky, but I had their hoagies before and was very satisfied. I don't know what happened this time. The only reason I'm writing this post is so the sandwich shop is made aware. Maybe it was a one time oversight. I look forward to trying their sandwiches in the future.

I don’t know about you, but Christmas holds a special place in my heart! There's nothing quite like the magic of unwrapping gifts, even if I occasionally found myself on Santa’s naughty list and ended up with a lump of coal instead. Those little black reminders taught me to always stay on my best behavior! Speaking of coal, I recently took my family to an incredible spot that dives deep into the fascinating history of coal mining. It’s a place that celebrates the hard-working miners who have been the backbone of America. Honestly, it’s a hidden gem that I can't recommend highly enough! The kids loved the playground right next to the exhibit, and I was pleasantly surprised by how immaculate the bathrooms were—definitely a plus for parents! Best of all, the prices are super affordable, making it easy to enjoy a day out without breaking the bank. My family is already planning to return next week! Just a little tip: don't forget to pack a sweater. It gets a bit chilly inside the coal mine, which is perfect for those hot summer days. And if you’re up for an adventure, you can hop on an amazing steam engine train for a ride with breathtaking views. I hope my review inspires you to visit this fantastic place. Trust me, it’s truly a gem waiting to be discovered!

Truly a wonderful time! We only did the mine tour (not the train ride). The 45 degree mine was a great relief from the 92 degree heat. The tour guide was great and was able to educate and entertain both kids and adults. My 7 and 10 year old really enjoyed it and the guide was great at answering all of the questions from the group. It was probably about 30 minutes. After the tour we played at the playground for a bit and checked out the museum right next door. You can tell they don't get a lot of visitors at the museum because they had to turn all the lights on for us.
Heather L — Google review
Great family day trip! We had a wonderful experience with both the mine shaft tour and steam engine excursion. Both together were $25 a person. I thought both tours were well worth the money. The tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable. If you do the mine shaft tour, bring a sweater and wear good sneakers. There is a portion of the mine tour where you walk to various parts of the mine. Be mindful if you have small children, elderly, or anyone who needs assistance. The mine is very cold and the floor can be slick. Come prepared! Great ec

Koziar's Christmas Village

Christmas store
Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
We recently visited Koziar’s Christmas Village with our family on a Saturday night. It’s a very popular spot and was quite crowded, but parking was well organized with the help of friendly volunteers who guided us both while parking and exiting. The entry fee is $18 per adult and $16 for kids above 2 years. The entire village was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and filled with festive music and cheerful vibes. There were plenty of photo opportunities with Christmas characters, a snack counter, and Santa for the kids. Restrooms were available at both the entrance and near the exit, and they were clean. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and parking was free. We definitely plan to visit again. The only thing to note is that if you’re visiting with a large family, the entry fees can add up — but it’s truly worth it for the magical Christmas atmosphere.

So many lights! Follow the paths. Bundle up. Hot chocolate was great. A little indoor space to look around and warm up. Truly impressive to take in all the lights. Traffic to get into the parking lot is intense worse than you imagine. Try to book a time just at dusk so less cars as more people come later then add at least an hour to your travel time to get into the parking area. My kid was newly potty trained and peed himself in his carseat because we were waiting so long, so maybe cut off fluids to the potty trained littles in your cars and even adults too. Other than the potty training issue and lots of traffic, it was beautiful for all ages.
Laura G — Google review
It had a nice smooth path to walk all around the lights with different themed areas. There were a few things that needed updated, but overall a child would love it. The only issue I had is.There were no handicapped toilets, you could get a wheelchair into inside the area. There were porta-potties outside that were handicapped, but you would have to leave the villiage area to use them.

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

Lots of lights and cute displays to see. It was super packed on Saturday, but the staff did a great job directing traffic to park.

Unforgettable experience. I came here during my birthday weekend gateway with my husband. It was our first time riding horses and it was amazing. I would love to come back and ride again. The staff was amazing, friendly, informative, and overall great to be around. The horses were well taken care off and I didn’t feel like I was taking advantage of the animals by using them for my enjoyment. We took an hour ride through the woods and also saw some deers. I recommend coming here while staying in Poconos.

The staff here was SO friendly and omg the riding in the snow was a magical experience. Amber happily took photos of us (while she was also on horseback) so we would have these memories forever. And Alice (the manager, really hoping I remembered her name correctly) led the way and kept us comfortable the whole time. 11/10 recommend.

Amazing ride! If your an advanced rider the water fall ride is for you! If you want a smooth ride and mellow, request the horse Marty. Marty was amazing and compliant.The guide, Theresa, was amazing. Also, Veronica is amazing as well. She assisted me when I first showed up and pick out the perfect horse for me based off what I told her I wanted! She is also a guide and would love to go on a trail with her next time! Will definitely be back!
