Very nice park with beautiful views and a great experience overall. You can drive along a 10-mile loop with about 10 stops, where you can get out and walk to learn about the Battle of Saratoga. Most of the walks are short, but there are also longer trails if you want to explore more. They even have a free app where you can listen and learn at each stop.

Saratoga National Historical Park is one of the coolest national park sites I've been to! The history here is amazing as well as the views and nature. I drove the 10 mile loop and stopped at all the sites. Taking in the history and driving through the fields of wild flowers and rolling hills was a treat. I highly recommend you visiting! Also don't forget to check out the surrender site and the Saratoga monument!

They park seemed nice, didn't get to go into the visitor center NOR do the drive because they had the entire road closed d/t this government shut down. Would have liked to at least gotten to do that. Not sure why if was closed when we saw a park ranger literally open the closed gate to let himself out of the park as we were leaving. Regardless, you can walk the path and see it that way, the grounds were nice at least.

Nice National Park that wasn’t crowded in the midst of July. The staff at the visitor center were all friendly and helpful, giving us tips on where to go and what to do at the park. I appreciated the structured drive through the park. It would have been nice to have more physical displays or buildings to visit besides the one farmhouse, but the staff at that building were great! A very hot adventure during the summer, so keep the weather in mind when planning your visit.

The views were amazing. I was however disappointed by the experience at the visitor center. The exhibits are clearly in need of being updated to modern standards. The audio tour needs to be updated as well. It is still made to call by phone even when used through the NPS app.

Looking for a way to spend an hour and a half or up to a full day of activities for free? Saratoga National Historical Park has you covered. Plenty of hiking, biking or driving along an historic trail. The rangers are experts in the significance of the battlefield and will make the site come to life. The Visitors Center has some artifacts, maps and dioramas that are very helpful. There is also a very nice picnic area and clean restrooms. I’m so happy I went. This site is so important to our history but I didn’t know anything about it until I saw it on the map and decided to give it a try. Make the time.

I'm almost always going to give a National Park Service site a 5 star rating. I just love our NPS sites! This one is terrific. The visitor center has some very informative exhibits and a cool gift shop. The walking and driving paths are nice and the sites around the battlefield are interesting. Definitely worth visiting if you appreciate American Revolution era history.

I was passing through and stayed a night at the Clifton Park Holiday Inn Express. I decided to visit the casino for a couple of hours. It was an easy 20 minute drive through some great neighborhoods. The casino is bright and vibrant. It's in a nice area and has plenty off parking. I felt very safe and had a great time. I'm a video poker enthusiast and there were ample machines and varieties to suit me. I was happy I went and enjoyed myself immensely.

Clean place. Staying in a block of rooms for an event. Messy check in for a few simple requests. Simply asked for adjoining rooms with elderly companions. Well, different floors doesn’t count. Can’t believe no coffee in rooms or lobby for guests. NOT a fan of expensive Starbucks in lobby. A walk thru casino there’s a diner. Can’t get just a bagel or a few eggs and toast. Gotta go for the $13.00 breakfast and coffee is extra. Shouldn’t have to cut eggs with a knife. Signs of a too hot grill. Home fries are deep fried potatoes. Temp is cold in whole place so dress accordingly. As a result warm food on a cold plate in a cold room isn’t optimal.

I'm not huge on gambling so my review is probably a bit biased based on that. 200 or 300 dollars is really the most I'd ever want to risk, so my play options are limited. I love the game of craps, but the lowest limit I ever see on a table is $15 including Rivers. I went on a Wednesday morning so the place was pretty dead. Seems like a good time to open a $5 or $10 limit table to maybe get some inexperienced players involved, but no dice (so to speak). They do have some electronic craps and roulette machines, as well as blackjack. I think they were $5 minimum. Those are pretty fun and are a good way to teach people those games without pressure or annoying other players. We had a couple drinks at one of the bars. I had a Woodford Old Fashioned (bartender knew how to make it!) And my wife had a Mimosa. Total was $24 which surprised me. I figured the drinks would be a more nominal charge to help you gamble some more, but after that we were kind of done with the place. We grabbed lunch at the Chinese restaurant there which was very good and fairly reasonable. Casino was a bit smaller than expected. It's nice that Rivers is not a long drive for us - only an hour for access to real table games. Oh... one thing that annoyed me was that several table dealers were wearing masks. I will never sit at a table with a masked dealer, seems like it might bring some bad luck.

First time going since I was a kid......was a great experience. Actors did an awesome job. Only drawback was that everything had to be purchased in cash.

Great and fun place to go and enjoy the night of gambling and dining . Dukes is a great steak house to eat at. The food and the staff is amazing. Amaya one of the bartenders is amazing always remembers my name what I drink and even to what I usually order for food. Deff the best bartender and server there. When she is at the hotel bar she is just as good and like being at dukes she is pleasant and always is smiling and happy. If having a bad day she is one to cheer u up and even if u are losing she will put a smile on your face.

Great place especially as it’s very close to home. Spent a couple of hours at the bar playing video poker today and had a relaxing time. Soft drinks are free at the bar and the service was good. Also played roulette and lost but similarly good time. NON SMOKING unlike the Turning Stone which is great.

We go to Rivers every couple weeks to hangout at the bars (Dukes mostly). The bartenders are professional and attentive. Anthony and Paul are great, but Amaya is the BEST! She is very creative and makes different delicious drinks to suit my appetite. She also pours the best Guinness!

We are season ticket holders for Proctor’s Broadway series. We are very lucky to get such high caliber shows here in Schenectady, often shortly after they go on tour. The Theater itself is nice. The seats are a little on the small side if you are a bigger person. If you are a season ticket holder, you get access to the Ovation lounge ahead of the show, where you can order food and cocktails. Concession prices are not alarmingly high and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. There is a parking garage across the street that is a fairly quick in and out.

An utterly fantastical, totally splendiferous, jaw-droppingly wonderful night at Wicked. The sets, the lights, and THE ACTORS! PURE BLISS!

Beautiful ornate, old fashioned theater. Great production for Neil Diamond story. Guy who played him sounded a lot like him and the supporting cast, dancers, singers, especially the guy who sang Shilo was awesome, broadway NYC caliber. Only issue for me was my seats. I bought orchestra seats, row S, thinking I was 19 rows from the stage. Found out that there was another whole section in front of those, we were just a few rows from the back of the theater. Plus, the seats were tight, like regular coach on an airplane. I am 6', my knees were lightly touching the seat in front of me.

Had a fun entertaining night with Master Chef Live. Only downside was they should provide a camera over each chef so you can pick and see what they are doing to learn things.

Very kind employees! Helpful! Loved it and would see a show here again! Can’t go wrong in any seat!

We have gone to Proctors as a family for many productions now and they have all been great. Good atmosphere and friendly staff with great performances make for memorable experiences.

Always a pleasure coming here. We came to see Wicked on Halloween night and it was incredible!

The freshest veggies in town. The best deli sandwiches I’ve had in upstate NY. Great staff. Just feels comfortable when I’m there and people I bring with me feel the same way.

What an absolute gem in Schoharie! Our dentist is in town, so we decided to stop in for breakfast. My husband ordered the bacon egg & cheese breakfast sandwich and absolutely loved it—he already plans to get it again on our next visit. I had the apple turkey sandwich, and it was the perfect balance of savory with a hint of sweetness. That cranberry mayo is amazing! We were also thrilled to find sweet potato vines, which we hadn’t been able to track down in our hometown. On top of that, we picked up a few other grocery items—the produce was super fresh, and the greenhouse plants were beautiful! I love that you can even enjoy your meal in the greenhouse—such a lovely touch! Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Visiting from Salt Lake City UT. We met some family here for lunch who live in the area, it's absolutely beautiful! There's a full farmers market type store inside and well as a flower/plant nursery outside. The restaurant inside is fantastic, there's plenty of options and a variety of homemade baked goods. I ordered the veggie wrap in a spinach tortilla and a cup of asparagus soup. I could shop there for hours and the fruit/produce look large and fresh! If I ever get to come back to NY I will be back!

The food was awesome! The only thing better than food is the people that work there! Everyone is super friendly. A must have is the carrot cookies!

This place was recommended to us by the staff at Howe Caverns for breakfast and lunch so we went for lunch and we very pleased. It is an active farm market with a deli in the back that produces the most tasty offerings. I would recommend them for a laid back leisurely lunch and the ambiance of the market.

It's such a charming country store. They have fresh produce, baked goods, meat, and deli. You can order food and eat there or take to go. We got plums and strawberries, both are very fresh and juicy. We also got a huge homemade chocolate chip cookie and chocolate milk. I can't wait to return.

This is a one stop shop farm. You can pick up beautiful plants, produce and other basics to round out a meal (local meat, dairy, starches). In the back of the store they also have bulk produce available. When I visit I typically also pick up a treat from their bakery. For those that haven't been yet, there is a counter to order soups, sandwiches, etc.

Expansive city park with lots of paths, benches, trees, and hills. Its within walking distance of downtown and makes for a nice place to relax or stroll

So beautiful! Large park with nice walking trails. We come every spring to see the tulips!

This is a beautiful park in Albany with lovely walking paths perfect for strollers, a small lake for fishing, and the most beautiful tulip festival on the East Coast. There is also a stage for summer performances. Unfortunately, it no longer hosts the winter drive through of lights, but it's still lovely in winter. Come here anytime of year for a beautiful and relaxing walk.

Nice clean plbig park with several spots to lay out on the lawn. The fountain area is beautiful.

Great location for a tulip festival with large crowds. Drawback is lack of seating through much of the park, making it challenging for those who can't sit on the ground to eat and don't want to walk across the park from food vendors. Lovely setting with central fountain. Nice path to stroll on along the lake (but csn get muddy). Picturesque bridges for photos. Public bathrooms in the Boat House. Water fountain in the Boat House. Parking is challenging during large events.

Such a gorgeous park! My friend and I stopped in to see the tulips and to walk around after getting off work last week and the gardens were spectacular. I hope to visit earlier next year to see even more in bloom.

Beautiful park to spend your day.

Must see. The three massive, intricately carved interior stone staircases alone are worth the free admission and your time, now with restored skylights admitting gorgeous natural light. Don’t miss the Hall of New York paintings gallery or resplendent assembly chamber with its stained glass windows and carved coffered ceiling.

The New York State Capitol building is truly breathtaking. Its intricate and unique architecture stands out with incredible detail and craftsmanship. The massive stone structure is both historic and majestic, making it one of the most impressive landmarks in Albany. Whether you’re into architecture or just sightseeing, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

Absolutely incredible. We have been to almost every capitol building in the US and this one is my favorite! Wish we could have done the tour. Simply stunning architecture and so much variety. Great exhibits inside. Street parking was relatively inexpensive.

Of all the 35 or so state capitols I have seen, this is probably the best. The scale and architecture of the place is amazing. Came on a Saturday during a pass through of the area, so didn't get to see the inside, which I am sure is fabulous. I am sure parking on a weekday not fun. I will definitely be back to tour the inside.

This Capitol is amazingly beautiful. If you happen to be in the area it is 100% worth the visit. They offer free tours, and Amy did a great job today.

The New York State Capitol is one of the most stunning buildings in Albany — a masterpiece of stonework and history. The Million Dollar Staircase inside is breathtaking, with intricate carvings, portraits, and details that show off incredible craftsmanship. Every corner feels like a piece of art. Whether you’re into architecture, history, or just want a beautiful place to explore, this building is a must-see.

My best tip: take the FREE hour-long tour. The friendly, knowledgeable guide (ours was Lorraine) will take you to areas you may not be able to access on your own, all the while providing interesting facts that will truly enhance your appreciation of the history and architecture of this landmark. Tours are at 10, noon and 2.

I have visited this museum on several occasions. About 3 and enjoyed it every time. I visited by myself and twice with my wife. The first was just out of curiosity. My wife's family lives in Albany so while renting a airbnb we stopped by this museum. No long lines but inside there were a great deal of people. There is a sesame place exhibit and a African American exhibit detailing life throughout the 20th century. There is also a 911 exhibit that is hard to watch with actual fire trucks from the attacks damaged and all. I didn't realize this museum existed. I don't believe I finished the exploration after 3 times .it's free and worth the trip.

Parking was free on weekend. Spent about 1.5 hours in the museum - could have spent more time. Admission was free. Interesting exhibits.

Absolutely love it here. Ive been going since a little kid with my dad and I love going it makes me feel like a piece of my father is still around ❤

We wanted an education about the earth and it's movement. Rocks and movement upon the millennium. We received a grand education of millions of years. From the smallest of shells and plants that held safest to the layers of life. To, perhaps us. Thank you.

This museum has exhibits about natural history as well as the Metropolitan. I only visited the part about the metropolis. Most of the displays are old items brought from New York City, such as antique fire trucks and decorative pieces taken from demolished buildings. The layout isn’t very well organized, and the flow feels a bit confusing.

A visit to the NY State Museum instills a sense of awe and respect for history and diversity of NY. Kid-friendly and free, this museum has something for everyone. Highlights include exhibits on indigenous people, migrants arriving at Ellis Island, African Americans and Harlem, and the tragedy of 9/11. The museum can benefit from updates and more interactive features. Don’t forget to ride the classic carousel on the 4th floor and rekindle your inner child.

Great place to walk around and enjoy history. Consider a small donation on your way in!

Great place to visit, very informative and tons of tourists options to meet your needs (physical/time/interest). Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their job. Riaf (sp?) was awesome! Found this through a Google search of "things to do with kids in Albany" and was very happy that I did. Albany was the half-way point on a road trip from Boston for my 8YO son, 72YO dad, and me. Definitely recommend! Was right off the highway, 30min tour allowed us to stretch our legs but not be detoured too long for arriving at our final destination. There is free parking and also a picnic area to enjoy sitting and watching the river.

Visiting the USS Slater was an absolutely incredible experience! This was the first warship we have ever had the chance to explore, and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were transported back in time and given a vivid sense of what life was like for those who served on this historic vessel. Our tour guide was phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the ship’s history. Every story, every detail, and every corner of the ship came alive through their explanations. The restoration work on the USS Slater is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s clear that countless hours of dedication and care went into preserving every detail, from the machinery to the living quarters, and it’s inspiring to see history kept alive so meticulously. We took the full bow-to-stern tour, which allowed us to see every aspect of the ship, from the operational areas to the crew quarters. It was fascinating to witness how this ship functioned during its active service. What made the experience even more special was the combination of history, hands-on exploration, and personal storytelling. You really gain a deep appreciation for the challenges, bravery, and daily life of those who served aboard. The USS Slater isn’t just a museum, it’s a living piece of history that gives visitors an unforgettable, immersive experience. We walked away not only educated but truly inspired, and it’s a memory we will cherish forever. This is absolutely a must do for anyone visiting the area, whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and meaningful adventure!

This has been something I've wanted to experience for a while. While I was not able to go aboard. I did really appreciate the staff they were very helpful and upfront with answering my questions about the accessibility of the ship. I could of gotten aboard with my wheelchair but I would not have been able to do much more than just that. The visitor center & gift shop are completely accessible. And they have a very nice observation deck with interpretive signage. I could fully see every part of the ship. I couldn't really get a good photo of the USS Slater in it's entirety. 🫡🇺🇸

My son and I had a fantastic tour given by Art who is a very informative and enthusiastic guide. It was amazing to see a war ship so well cared for and preserved. Art shared an abundance of insight into the working of the ship and the men who served on it. He provided information you don't read about in books such as why the cook may ask if you are right or left handed during rough weather or why the officers preferred the top bunks. My son will be talking about the tour for a very long time. I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

While I did not get a chance to tour. It was fun to get a chance to finally see the ship from the outside. Big thanks to New Jersey's Ryan Szimanski efforts on YouTube that made me aware of this and many other very cool ships! Please feel free to use these pictures for promotion.

The U.S.S. Slater was an amazing tour worth the time. I took the "Stem to Stern" which is the 2 hour tour and includes the engine room. I highly recommend this as an educational and enjoyable experience. The tour I took was $25 and worth every penny

Angela and I had a great time visiting USS Slater and we learned a lot during the Stem to Stern tour with Scott! Their radio room is open most Saturday mornings, and as amateur radio operators, it was a privilege to make radio contacts from the ship.

1. Safe 2. Fun 3. A great workout for the body and mind 4. Fresh, clean, air direct from trees no more than a few feet away 5. Nice, helpful, supportive, professional, caring staff (Thank you, Maddy, Dillon, Ian, and the rest of the team) 6. Special attention to ecological sustainability in their operations — they don’t talk about this unless you bring it up 7. Whether you stick to base camp, or take on hemlock’s revenge, it _will_ be a very uplifting and positive activity for the entire group

Our family loves Ramblewild. It was so much fun to bring our friends with us this last time. The best part is the individual attention and coaching we received from the staff, if we needed it, like I did :) And my kids were able to go ahead and move more quickly on the course with one guide while another guide stayed back with me at my pace. There are 8 long courses which are uniquely exciting & make my kids want to keep going back for more. Have been to a number of different ropes courses in NY & MA and Ramblewild is by far our favorite. Oh, and they make their own maple syrup which is delicious.

This place is a ton of fun, that also provides a pretty good workout on the harder courses. The staff was great, and the scenery was beautiful. I would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend Base Camp experience !! I had 2x 6 year olds and an 8 year old with me for the adventure. I wasn’t able to find many reviews for the Base Camp so we stopped before making the reservation. There was no one using it when we stopped so they let us take a quick peek and check it out. All the staff, especially our main guide, Maddie were awesome with the kids. She explained everything so they understood and was excited, energetic and patient when needed. We had 1 that was scared of the zip line at the end of the course, Maddie was so patient and after a few attempts and a return to the training ground, she helped her overcome her fear and then couldn’t stop her from doing it again!! All the kids were sad when it was time to leave. It was challenging and exciting for both the kids and I. Highly recommend and can’t wait to get back to do it again!

Wow! What an experience! We had never done anything like this before and it was amazing. The gradual increase in difficulty coupled with a friendly guide made us feel so comfortable. Absolutely beautiful setup among the trees with lots of shade. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at Ramblewild Adventure Park. 4 hours is plenty of time to do the courses and even have a little picnic! The staff is very welcoming and supportive. They also give tips on how to go through an obstacle, if you need it. I definitely recommend to go there if you like activities!

We love Ramblewild and have been multiple times. Basecamp is great for ages 4-10 while the high ropes course is a blast for older kiddos and adults. The forest is magical and cool on a hot summer day. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. A must visit!

Giving a 3 star. Desk receptionist was very friendly informative and professional I liked her a lot. Going to the rooms the hallway sticks and walking into our room smelled of really odd chemicals very strong! The water fosset sprays everywhere. The doors are horrible! You have to slam them to shut the don't close or open with out some force. The property is really nice all outside is cool nice size fun stuff to do. We won't stay over again but may just do the adventure parks.

An absolutely beautiful resort! I couldn't have felt more at home. Really shows the difference between a family owned operation & the commercially owned resorts. Beautiful terrain, accommodation & snowmaking. One of my absolute favorite places after 26yrs of making snow. Everybody cares a little more than they need too, which says volumes. Always striving for improvement🏆

My partner and I did a long-term (4 months) stay in a room in The CountryInn. Overall, the resort is good. It's in a beautiful part of the state, though it is a bit remote/secluded (e.g., it takes 25 minutes to get to a full grocery store). The staff were helpful, and there are several amenities for entertainment and practicality. The building is generally clean, and they were doing many renovations during our stay, as the building is old and they care to upkeep it. The walls are thin and it's easy to hear people in the hallway, in the rooms next to you and above you.

Reviewing here as both a hotel and ski slope. I’ve stayed in the rooms a number of times, including when we rented out many for a wedding, and have always been satisfied. Service is good and rooms are standard. In terms of skiing, it’s in a super convenient location for Williams students. However, the trails are usually pretty icy, so make sure to check the conditions and try to go when there’s been a recent snowfall. Pretty small number of trails. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to plan a ski trip here, but if you’re in the area, it’s nice to have a place to ski like Jiminy.

Excellent location. Didn't have to leave the resort for anything except site seeing. Very clean facility including the outdoor pool and hot tub. Inside hot tub was down for maintenance. The only other negative was the express chair lift that runs to the top of the mountain was not running and that was one of the reasons we chose Jiminy Peak. The room was very accommodating there was a stove, fridge, microwave, toaster, blender pots, pans dishes, keurig, coffe pot, coffee, tea, extra toiletries galore. Very nice stay over all.

We stayed at Jiminy Peak Resort this summer and absolutely loved it! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location is stunning, with beautiful views and plenty of activities to enjoy in the area. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained

Their Halloween event is incredibly poorly managed. Lines are insane. 2hrs in and still nothing. Allow tickets for time slots or something more efficient going forward. Dont recommend for kids.

Fun, short educational trip down history lane about one of the founding Democratic party leaders. (but remember there is a distinction between the current party and the founders.) The house has been lovingly restored! It includes a beautiful selection of original and reproduction furniture. It really provides a glimpse into what the Dutch household looked like. Be sure to check tour schedule. Tours asked about one hour. Even though the location closes a certain time, the last tour may be about an hour and a half before closing.

Had riven by so many times and had never stopped. Took the short, free, tour and walked around the grounds. Kicking my self for not having done this sooner. Very interesting. Informative. Free. The National Parks Service does a fantastic job.

We arrived on a Friday and there were no tours. Probably a quick hour stop if you’re just walking around. I was actually disappointed with the exterior condition. Peeling paint, moldy/dirty windows. The front porch had bird poop all over. There were 3 National Park workers there. I guess they don’t do any mild maintenance at all. Overall we were glad we stopped.

This free tour was quick but 100% worth your time. The house has some original wallpaper! The rangers were knowledgeable and the hour-ish tour was a great introduction to a President I didn’t know much about.

Lindenwald is a hidden gem in the Hudson Valley, it's spacious and has a lot of history to tell. Close to other Martin van Buren historical places and the view at the back - to the right of the Peter van Ness gravesite is stunning. Everyone should go and learn more about Martin van Buren.

Lovely historic home to view, however, our wonderful park ranger/guide Zachary made the experience stellar. His knowledge and expertise brought history to life.

A chance to visit a former President's home, and the town he was born in. There is no fee and our tour guide, Park Ranger Dawn took us through the house and shared her knowledge of its' history. Tours are on the hour (registration at the office) and there are walking trails around the property. Nearby are Stuyvesant Falls and Brooklyn Pizza (which I recommend).

We were stunned and thrilled by the entire performance of Guys and Dolls. The actors, dancers and actresses were superb in this memorable crafty and ever so charming musical. See it ASAP!

My son and I saw Rent twice it was so incredible !! The cast was amazingly talented and the whole production was just wonderful and exceeded my expectations. The theater is in a nice little hometown theater bringing Broadway quality at affordable ticket prices . Highly recommend

Truly the most amazing little theater in the area, 40 minutes from me but worth it every time, Rent was off the charts, better than broadway, and so excited to see Jesus Christ superstar....

Lovely little theater! People are awesome and the actors are incredible. It's not near any big population center but it's worth the drive. Intimate describes it best.

The Guys and Dolls performance was awesome today. We, Malta Seniors had great seats just in front of the stage.

Went to Jersey Boys yesterday, Sept. 2, 2023. What an amazing performance by a stellar cast. And, Andrew Maguire who played Frankie Valli was absolutely phenomenal. He sounded so much like the real Frankie. I was very pleased with the show..

Just saw The Marvelous Wonderettes! Show was FABULOUS! The cast was just amazing - fantastic job casting. Music was so enjoyable. Great little theater in a quaint town. Everyone was so kind; truly a wonderful experience!

Heavenly retreat with superb facilities for outdoor listening pleasure. Lustrous grounds, with areas for picnicking, and a dynamite schedule that features a diversity of musical styles, primarily performed by Boston Symphony Orchestra or Boston Pops. Local famous artists (James Taylor, Yo-Yo Ma), and visiting artists come here during the summer. Food options are OK; best to bring your own food if you plan to picnic.

The Lawn at Tanglewood is the best place to be! Plan ahead, pack a picnic: Blanket, folding chairs, small table, wireless lamp or candles, ice bucket, food 🥖 🥐 🧀, wine 🍷, and thou. We were here again to see the soulful, heartfelt, best female guitarist and keyboard performer, beautiful Bonnie Raitt, after 4 years when we first saw her after the pandemic. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🎸 🥁 🎹 🎼 🎶 🎙️ 🎼🎶

Loved walking around prior to the concert, plenty of space for blankets and chairs, you can only drink alcohol in your designated seating area. Bug spray would have been smart, we got an Uber from town which saved us the long line of traffic into the parking lot, but staff in parking could not agree on where ride share drop-off was (each stop point had to ask the next stop point). The verdict was "limo drop-off" would be the best thing to say because it drops you near the gates.

Anyone in area that can make it should really make an effort to try and go and see a concert at Tanglewood Was really an incredible experience for the price ($35). People bring legit tables and outdoor feasts with friends and family to enjoy music Something you need to experience to get Sound no matter how far you were from the stage was crystal clear Would suggest coming a few hours early as there's a lot to see around the venue but also because parking is crazy and so is the seating on the lawn. Good to grab an area and parking spot

Great venue for a concert. And the Lenox locals know how to party in the lawn seats. Charcuterie boards and all kinds of fancy spreads. Amazing! There's also great stands with BBQ, fried foods, quick self serve snacks and ice cream. It's easy to exit with West and East parking and great attendants.

Woah 😳! There was so much to explore! I had a pleasant time exploring the grounds before the show and during intermission. A great 👍 place to view a sunset! Oh, it is a good place to see 🙈 a live show. I like the partial maze in the garden area. You will not see Jack Nicholson yelling "Danny!" while carrying an ax! At least I hope you don't! Redrum! 🤫 Shh! The sundial, Whispering Bench, sculptures , the interesting looking houses and even a few of the trees. I was surprised I was not bothered by any 🐝 insects, especially 🦟 mosquitoes. The Koussevitzky Music 🎶 Shed, not the Author "Two Sheds" Jackson, was a good place to watch a performance. Large screens helped people who were further back 🔙 and on the lawn watch the show. The shed can get warm 🥵 on a hot night. They could use some fans to circulate the air inside. The lighting and acoustics were good. The food at the cafeteria was okay but overpriced. They did run out of items on the menu. Security did not hassle myself or anyone I observed. They will check ✔️ bags before you enter. I had no issues with parking 🅿️. There is plenty of parking 🅿️ available and it is free 🆓. There are a lot of bathrooms and a few porta potties. The bathrooms I used were in good condition. They do sell beer 🍺 here. Wheelchairs ♿ are provided for guests. One lady I chatted with actually had on delivered to her at the cafeteria. I came to see "A Prairie Home Companion" and I enjoyed watching it. I do not remember them swearing 🤬 as much at being overly political. I am going to recommend a visit. I may visit again depending on who is playing. It was a long drive for me.

Saw James Taylor, after the rain. Great concert. Pleasantly surprised by staff. Great experience from parking lot, ticket gate, concessions, and beer garden!

Beautiful area but there’s not much to do. Not what I would call affordable food and drinks. The ski area is very nice and the lodge and outdoor base area are very nice with plenty of outdoor seating and fire pits. I did not find any what I describe expert terrain but that’s no problem just be aware if that’s what you’re looking for. The negatives are exactly what you would think you’d expect at a New York Club. High prices and snooty people.

Pre Mountain Club Windham was an alright place. It’s been completely ruined now. Don’t waste your time here, go to Belleayre or Hunter or drive a bit further to VT. Will, the lifty, is also a total drag who will randomly skip a line for minutes on end letting all the rich spoiled brats ahead with no waiting. Ski the east, just not here.

Last season seasons bar restaurant added a great lunch item called chicken schwarma. It was grilled chicken with rice and grilled vegetables for $26.00, it was great, very delicious. This season it was $29.00 and all that was on the plate was a scoop of rice and some shredded chicken, with no vegetables for $29.00. Quite a difference from last season. I’ll definitely not be going there for lunch again and buying drinks and food.

Didn't stay there- just drove up for the day. Weather was great, but conditions were icy and lifts were crowded. Kids snowboard and we set by the fire place that was very nice. Fast food was ridiculously expensive- fastfood burger, fries and drink for almost 40 dollars 💸 they know you are a captive audience- so they have no shame. Tables were dirty and floors slippery. Disappointing overall.

Complete rip-off. This place price gouges you for everything, you can no longer pay with cash. Everything must be paid with a credit card and a mandatory 10% tip is automatically charged for everything you buy, including a bottle of water. The mountain isn't that great anyway. I will never come here again. Go to Belleayre or Hunter.

Used to be a charming fun and challenging mountain since the "switch" to a semi private club. The grooming has gone down in quality and the vibe is very unwelcoming. Used to frequent this mountain and loved it. Now I'll eat the extra hour driving and go to VT or better NY mountains at this point even Hunter might be better....

Windham requires reservation for Ikon Pass holders, and it seems they've set the number of available reservation slots to be so low that there are no slots available on weekends until mid-March. Mind you, they're selling daily lift tickets for those days, so it's not like they're at capacity. This apparently happened last year too, and is part of their "rich people only" rebrand. Absolutely shameless and disgusting behavior - I wish the new owners nothing but failure.

Beautiful Gilded Age home of the Choate family built 1885 and well preserved. Gorgeous maintained gardens on 48 acres of land. Tour guides are well versed and very informative. Enjoy the glory and many acquisitions of the Choate family home as they expanded their magnificent abode from the Gilded Age to modern times, when they decided to preserve the home and grounds in their entirety to the Trustees landmark organization. **$20 admission - tours are included ** Thank you!

My wife and I drove a little over an hour from the Hudson Valley to see The Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show, and it was absolutely worth the trip! Parking and shuttles were plentiful and well organized. We parked in town near the Red Lion Inn and only waited about five minutes for a shuttle to the estate. I imagine weekends get much busier, but visiting on a weekday made everything easy and relaxed. The event itself is a beautiful walking tour through the Naumkeag gardens, all lit up with thousands of glowing pumpkins. Most of the displays are made with foam pumpkins (which makes perfect sense—real ones wouldn’t last the season), but they’re done so creatively that you barely notice. The walk through the grounds was peaceful and enchanting. We never felt rushed or crowded and were able to take our time enjoying the displays and lights. Just note: the paths have some hills and uneven spots, so it could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. It reminded us of a similar event at an estate in the lower Hudson Valley—just on a slightly smaller, more intimate scale. All in all, a wonderful evening out and well worth both the ticket price and the drive. Not scary at all, so it’s perfect for families—kids will love all the glowing pumpkins! 🎃

We attended their Halloween event. You buy tickets in advance online. Parking in Stockbridge was easy and the shuttle bus runs frequently. We never waited more than 5 minutes. The displays are well done. The path leads you through the woods, a greenhouse, and the residence. We walked through in about 45-60 minutes, but you could easily spend 90 minutes there as there is so much to see. The path has some steps or mild grades to walk up and down. Total distance of the walk is likely 1/3 mile, maybe a little more. There is a snack shack for drinks and snacks. The bathrooms are closed but plenty of portapotties available.

We loved this place, a little bit of the Gilded Age history. Interesting learning about the family that built this house. The gardens and the architecture were gorgeous.

Very pretty amazing place for family and loved ones. The pumpkins where amazing. A bit pricy overall but a good meet up with family and friends 🧡

We went to the Incredible Pumpkin Show. Lots of fun for young and old. It took about an hour to go through. You have to take a shuttle (school bus) from downtown to get there. We grabbed a bite and some wine at the Lion's Den after. Great time.

The gardens are beautiful and easy walks. There are several different landscapes and it is definitely worth to visit. The house also contains lots of original pieces and furniture which is rare to see. The house and all the rooms are in such good condition and well maintained.

A visit to the Norman Rockwell Museum is an experience not to be missed. The grounds and buildings are very well-kept. Rockwell was an incredible artist, and seeing so many of his magazine covers and other artworks was a delight. He was a true master of capturing the human spirit. We also had the pleasure to see an exhibit of Walter Wick's Hidden Wonders, and some great sculptures on the grounds.

Great place to visit when you are in Berkshire, Massachusetts. It has big collections of his painting about all American life in his periods. He was a great portrait painter too. His last painting was in 1963 at the end of that year for Saturday Evening post of New York with the portrait of JFK who was assassinated in November of 1963 the estate is quite large with pastoral feel. Anyway I learned it elsewhere that his life was not as happy as he portray in his paintings because if the painting was not happy one the journal with rejected it. So the paintings were the projections of the life he wish he had. His real life was that of unhappy, insecure and sad and depression somewhere in between. I do enjoy this museum. It was my second visit here. The last time was nearly 10 years ago.

We were on a short driving tour of the Berkshires and we stayed in Lenox as a base. Each day, we drove out to see various historic sites like the gilded age mansions and of course the Rockwell Museum. Due to our schedule, we had to visit on the day the museum is closed to the public. So we parked and walked all around the grounds around the main building and down to his studio. Lots of outdoor sculptures to look at as we walked around.

9//25 - Part of our NE bus tour, this stop was full of nostalgia as I remember many of his paintings. The down stairs displayed all hi post covers & had an interesting movie about his life . Upstairs features many of his original paintings. The tour of his studio was included in our tour, not necessary unless your a big fan. If your from near or far, it's worth a visit.

They don't give any real information about Norman's life in Arlington VT. He had 2 homes in VT. One he accidentally burnt down. The second, Rockwell's Retreat, is right down the road. It has been lovingly restored including his studio which, with the help and love of Arlington people who knew Norman and were his models, gave the new owners so much insight that it is truly like walking into the studio and expecting to see Norman. Don't stop just at the museum in Stockbridge, go up 7A highway to Rockwell's Retreat in Arlington VT. If you love Norman's work, then you can't leave out the years of his life in Arlington.

Amazing. Love Rockwell's work. What a fantastic contribution to art and social commentary. The museum is well curated. The grounds are pretty. I have a printing my wall at home.

Norman Rockwell Museum. There are some nice grounds that you can walk and it was the right time of the year with the apples were just falling out of the tree. Museum was very clean with plenty of things to see. Had the entire collection of Saturday evening post covers. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

The Thomas Cole House in Hudson is a truly beautiful and inspiring place, and absolutely not to be missed. As the former home and studio of the founder of the Hudson River School, it offers a unique glimpse into both the man’s life and the artistic movement he helped shape. The house itself is exquisitely preserved, the surrounding gardens are serene, and the views of the Catskills feel like stepping right into one of Cole’s paintings. The bookshop is a gem in its own right — thoughtfully curated with art books, local history, and unique gifts you won’t find elsewhere. The staff inside are warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic, adding an extra layer of charm to the experience. They’re more than happy to share insights or help you find just the right memento to take home, making the visit feel even more special.

Came here on Yom Kipur 2025. Somewhat surprised that it was open during government shutdown, but being an affiliated NPS site as opposed to full on NPS site is why I am sure. Fabulous place. Came here like 9 years ago as well. They added a visitor center since I was here last. The setting was incredible. Nice but somewhat limited view of the Hudson River Valley. The house was amazing, very well maintained with lots of original and replicas of his paintings. If you are a fan of the arts, Thomas Cole, or American artists, feel like you would enjoy this. I like all of those well enough and enjoyed it. Parking was tight when we came due to the Jewish Temple plus Yom Kipur. Visitor center has a gift shop and nice bathrooms.

Thomas Cole was an amazing landscape artist his paintings are filled with talent. I recommend to everyone to plan ahead and visit this beautiful place. Anyone of his paintings you can stare at to want to just fall in to it. Absolutely exquisite work. You won't be disappointed.

Really enjoyed learning more about Thomas Cole and his daughter Emily Cole. The display of her botanical paintings and ceramic painting was beautiful! The self-guided tour is 45 minutes, the house is not overly large and a good 25 people were in the first tour at 11. Definitely too many people to properly view everything as we were bumping into each other. Otherwise, it is a worthwhile experience! I would encourage also visiting Olana,as Frederick Church was one of Thomas Cole's students early on.

This wonderful house is near a town called leeds about 7min drive. Thomas cole was a painter and the history of this house correlates with his art and family . The tour guide was knowledgeable. It's a treat highly recommended. My wife and I visited this house and had a great experience.

The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is a great place to visit! Thomas Cole was the founder of the Hudson River School of Art. He was one of America's first great artists. The house is historically restored and displays artifacts that Cole and/or his family used. Most of the paintings displayed in the house are re-creations of Cole's works. The views of the Catskill mountains are very nice. The tour was very good and the guide knew a great deal about the house and Thomas Cole. The movie at the beginning of the tour was a nice touch. We were also allowed to explore and look around on the tour, after the guide explained each part of the house. The tour was about an hour. The Cole House also serves as a small art museum. If you go to Thomas Cole's studio, you can see works from other artists. The house itself also displayed some contemporary works, that were mixed in with Cole's works. The contemporary work was good, but some of it didn't really fit the historical theme of the house. You get a lot for your ticket here. A house tour, Thomas Cole's works, contemporary artworks, and a small gallery of art exhibitions. You can also walk to the nearby Hudson River Skywalk and Rip Van Winkle bridge. Olana state historic site is also only three miles away. The gift shop offered much at reasonable prices. This place is definitely worth a look.

I've been meaning to come here for forever and was not disappointed! Our docent was very knowledgeable and did a great job of describing Thomas Cole's life and works. I enjoyed learning about Cole's desire to protect wilderness. Marc Swanson's exhibition, A Memorial To Ice at the Dead Deer Disco was on display while we were there. I enjoyed his work immensely! Oh, and that had a piece but one of my favorite artists, Mark Dion, too! That made my heart happy.

Really cool state park. We were pleasantly surprised to find that there are no day use fees like for most NY state parks. You can walk the extensive trails and grounds for free. Taking tours of the interior of the historic house is $20/person, which we did not do. We took a trail with several beautiful overlooks over the surrounding area, including with one that looks across the Hudson River in almost direct alignment with the Rip van Winkle bridge towards the town of Catskill and the imposing Catskill Mountains. The outside of the house was very unique and cool with its Arabesque design. Everything was very modern and up to date, probably thanks to public and private funding.

This is must see for anyone interested in the Hudson River School. The park is wonderful for hiking - I walked the trail by the lake from the visitor center to the mansion. The mansion was built by the American painter Frederic Church in the 1800s and is filled with original objects and some of his smaller paintings. Incredible views of the Hudson river from the house are added plus. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Add this to your bucket list.

We loved our visit, next time we'll take the house tour. The grounds, gardens and views are impressive. We enjoyed learning more about Frederic Church and his travels. The architecture of the house is cool. Plenty of walking trails and picnic spots.

This may be my favorite historic house tour I’ve taken in the US. The house has its original finishes and furnishings and is amazing in itself. The views are next level. Seeing something so complete and so particularly thought out that was created by an artist and reflects things he loved and places he went was special. If you’re in the area, go. The staff are also really fantastic. Totally exceeded expectations.

Absolutely breathtaking! Couldn’t recommend this visit enough. We visited on a Sunday when they just opened, and it wasn’t busy at all. The staff are also so kind, helpful, informative and obviously passionate about Olana. The self-guided tour was perfect. They still have staff in every room, and they love answering all of the questions. Optimize your visit and take time to mosey the grounds and see the incredible view on Ridge Road!

Did the afternoon “explore on your own” style tour. This was perfect for our group! We could stay longer in rooms that interested us and there were knowledgeable interpreters in every room to answer questions. You could tell the place is well preserved and they are doing a lot of work to keep the land around the house as he intended. Parking is a bit limited at the top near the house but we got lucky! Keep that in mind on busier days.

We took the two hour tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Fascinating history, gorgeous views, beautiful architecture make it so worthwhile to visit. Free to visit the grounds and we would love to come again. Make reservations early for the tours since they are refundable.

Just did the sky rider tour with some of my friends, and we had an absolute blast. We got to go on 5 ziplines and walk over a really cool suspension bridge. It was during peak fall foliage, so the views were absolutely stunning. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable, engaging and fun! I would highly recommend booking a tour with them if you are in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

What a fun day! We did the full 3 hour tour with Sam, Luke and Bryan who made the whole experience a lot of fun. They were great guides and clearly love their jobs. The length of the tour definitely made it worth the price! Just be prepared to use your 'abs'.

Awesome time. We did the mid mountain tour for starters but definitely want to return for the skyrider. We had a ridiculous amount of rain and ended up completely saturated but it didn't stop the fun at all. I mean if you haven't ziplined down a mountain in the pouring rain, did you even Zipline? Such a fun time and the rain made us go faster 😂 our guides Brandon and Kincaid were awesome. We had a lot of laughs and fun during our experience. Looking forward to the skyrider in the future.

The zip lining was an absolute blast today, I would 10/10 recommend everyone go and enjoy themselves! The tour guides Zack, Nate and Dustin were hysterical and fun easing everyone's nerves, and really made the experience even that much more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back again someday!

Make sure you have a way to secure your phone and stuff. I forgot this and bought a Fanny pack-type-thing for $20. First time zip lining for my girls and me but we had a blast. Group size will be about 5-10. Guides are very patient and good about getting the little ones to take their first zip when they are 50 feet in the air. They don’t get frustrated if it takes more than 5 minutes for the kids to let go.

My wife and I went on the Skyrider Tour and love it! It was my second time here but my wife's first. Our guides Luke and Dakota were great and made the experience more enjoyable. I highly recommend trying this Excursion at least once, you won't be disappointed.

New York Zipline Adventures skyrider tour exceeded our expectations by far! It was such an amazing and fun experience, with incredible views of the mountain range! Coming mid-October was a great idea as the fall foliage was beautiful. One of the best parts was our guides. Tink, Dustin, and Dakota were so awesome, we felt very safe and in good hands! Not only were they very knowledgeable and experienced, but all three had the best personalities and told funny stories which made sure everyone in the group had a memorable time. I definitely want to go back again, and will be absolutely requesting the same guides.

So I've have skiied at Hunter a few times, great place during the week. We took the chairlift ride to the top, the summit lodge is closed temporarily for a remediation of some sorts. If you don't like heights this is not the place to be. The views are always great. Make sure you wear good walking shoes. The fall is the best time to go. Enjoy your ride.

We went to Octoberfest at Hunter Mountain. It was nice. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It is a lot smaller though compared to years ago when our family would attend. The steak food truck was great! Awesome food and excellent service! Also had funnel cake, always a plus! And tried poutine for the first time. It was good. I will probably go back next year.

Place has really gone down hill ever since it has been sold to Vail. The trails have practically stayed the same for a decade with maybe one or two new trails. Hellgate is always fun but it’s the only trail that you can get real speed on. They have fun terrain parks and a nice lodge bar but otherwise it’s gone down hill. They sell overpriced tickets and practically force you to buy overpriced food. Management is a bunch of goofballs who have no idea how to run the logistics of a mountain.

SkyRide up Hunter Mtn in the Fall likely better than in any other season. Helpful staff...beautiful views on a clear day...could almost see the Rockies. After 11am the indoor outdoor food vendors purvey their standard wares alongside kiddie fun rides. WORTHWHILE

WIFI desperately needs to be updated! Unfortunately, I was there on off-season so I did not get to snowboard on the Mountain other than that the accommodations were comfortable. It would be helpful if the rooms provided bed arrangements. We had a three bedroom suite and our third bedroom had bunkbeds which was not what we needed for our accommodations. TVs need updating as well

I ski and live an hour away but never had been there. The line to return on the fall leaf chair lift was insanely long because they didn't encourage people to share seating.

Solid ski experience for a day. Trails are somewhat limited and not too many lifts exist in this small NE mountain. The staff was very helpful and they make a point to load six skiers at a time which helps with lines. The food is typical low-quality high-price food, but the pizza is decent. I wish they improved that aspect. Overall a decent option not too far from NYC.

A nice incline for 2.5 miles up past the hotel ruins to fire tower. In the summer this hike can be brutal; as the wide trail is primarily in full sun, and it’s a very stead incline the entire way. Precipitation brings the chance you may not see anything when you reach the top. Running down no matter the weather is my favorite however.

Awesome hike to an even better view! Hiked in the night before and camped at Echo Lake. Not the easiest hike but take plenty of pit stops to check out your surroundings and you'll get to the top. Going up was brutal. Going down was a breeze. Didn't see and rattlesnakes but definitely be cautious.

I did this 4.6(supposedly 5) mile up and back hike in 2 hours with a break up top to enjoy the view and climb the fire tower. Pretty spectacular. 1400 feet of elevation according to Strava. Small parking lot. Enjoy

Popular, clearly defined carriage-road trail with 3 main attractions - 1. Resort ruins 2. Fire watchtower 3. Overlook viewpoint. Moderate difficulty hike with beautiful views and a good chance of seeing natural wildlife, picturesque scenery & friendly hikers. Trail & parking becomes very busy on the weekends & holidays. Recommend about 3 hours for moderate hikers to complete. Enjoyable for all ages.

Definitely a beautiful look out. Moderate hike to get to the top.You will also see a fire tower in an old Stone ruin of an old hotel that used to be back up there in the days.Definitely a must see if you are into finding old stuff.

Overlook is great but Fire Tower gives you best view 360 degree.

Mostly uphill hike and not a very exciting one but very manageable; the views from the tower and the sweet company of the men at the cabin on top are worth it!

What an amazing place. I came here as a kid and just went back. 40 years later it’s just as impressive and beautiful. Friendly staff too. I wished we brought a picnic!

What a Grand magical place. Very fortunate to be able to visit and explore art. To imagine one’s obsession to creat this. $16 for adults and $6 for kids under 6 years old. Portapotties are available and gift shop. Parking available on the premises with a short walk for admissions.

Was passing through the Hudson Valley after a roadtrip to see family in Maine. I was fortunate to time the visit with the fall foliage in full swing. The site sits about 5 miles off 87 and is well paved and marked. The parking was abundant and a short walk to the admissions booth. Spectacular views of the monumental landscape architecture highlighted by the fall foliage. Well worth a visit!

This was cool! It’s kind of just one thing and you get the idea pretty quickly, but definitely worth a stop through! Signage is wild.

All I can say is, “Wow”!!! You have to go there to really have an appreciation of this amazing masterpiece. Pictures don’t do it justice. I can’t believe one man built all of this without machinery - just talent and tools. I’m so grateful to his wife for sharing it with the world. It would have been a tragedy for us to not have been able to witness it. You must go see it.

Fascinating place to tour on a sunny day. Check out the video about the artist who created Opus 40. Combine it with lunch in Saugerties and a visit to Krause’s chocolate store and you have created a banner day!

Visited this place for the first time back in 2023. Spent a few hours wandering the property discovering nooks and crannies and was thoroughly enthralled from the first minute. The dedication, time, effort it must have taken is unbelievable. What an amazing place and journey of how Opus 40 came to be!

Very interesting spot for history and aviation lovers. We had great time here, the show in the air was interesting, but the ground part of the show was somewhat weird for us. The show was 2 hour long, with first 30 minutes preparations and mostly historical information. Be prepared for explosions and loud noises. Despite the aerodrome is pet friendly, I’d recommend to leave your pets at home, they will be scared by all the loud noises during the show. The pilots are really pros, I was amazed by some of the things they were doing and how good they maintain their fleet. Overall we loved it, but it would be nice to have more comfortable sitting area (it is a good idea to take a couple of chairs with you). I’d come again to see all the biplanes and pilots flying them.

Absolutely awesome experience! Despite being a slightly chilly day, the 15 minute biplane ride was completely worth it for the best views of the fall colors in the Hudson valley. The museum collection has so many awesome planes and plenty of interesting facts. Access to the museum is a great value and I'll definitely be bringing more friends and family here in the future!

Our first ever flight in a bi-plane. This was one of THE most amazing things we have ever done. So thrilling and wonderful. I’d do it again in a moment. I do NOT like flying and hate heights - so I was surprised I wasn’t nervous and loved it so much I’d paid the price again immediately to go up again. We decided to do the 30 minute lighthouse tour which is the one that goes out over the Hudson River and back. You have to wear a fancy pilot caps and goggles but it’s all good. They provide them. Maybe I was born too late and would have been a wing walker. Lol. Doubt it, but they did a great job and the museum and displays are informative, too. There is something for all ages here!

Fantastic hidden gem in Dutchess County. Tons of early age of flight, WWI and WWII era aircraft. Also have an assortment of other vehicles, cars, and motorcycles from the period. It is a working aerodrome with daily flights around the Hudson in a biplane for charter. Every weekend they host an airshow with planes from the era and have a working airstrip setup for these shows. Definitely worth checking out especially for the very reasonable price they ask for museum tickets. Recommend not going when it's too hot, as the hangers are all outdoors and not air-conditioned. Went when it was about 95° and it was very hot and humid in the hangars. The staff had fans setup but going on the hottest week of the summer there was only so much that could be done. Will definitely be coming back when the weather is better and spend more time looking at the planes and reading all the history they have.

I enjoyed the Aerodrome and show very much. My only disappointment is that there were fewer flying WW1 planes than I remember during my last visit, which was over 10 years ago. Planes do not last forever. I took the biplane ride. It was only about 15 minutes, but the views were spectacular!

Spectacular setting in upstate NY. Some of the planes they fly are rebuilt originals, some are replicas. They cover the dawn of flight until the 1930s. Tons of history is there. If they have to cancel the airshow due to weather they give you a pass that never expires for you to come back. Concessions were good but as is usual at venues like this a bit pricy. You can bring your own food and drink.

This place is a hidden treasure. Lots of WW2 planes, automobiles and motorcycles. We didn't see the airshow, but we took a ride up and down the Hudson River. It was spectacular! Highly recommended!!

We came for a wine tasting experience and had the best time. The wines are very good, and the place is just so beautiful, we went upstairs to the loft to enjoy some more wines, got ourselves some cheese and crackers from the bar, and had a wonderful time admiring the view of the vineyards and the Hudson valley. They even have EV chargers in the back! We’ll definitely be back!

We came to just hang out as we don’t drink. It is free to enter and they have different types of food trucks on the weekends serving food from lunch to dinner. There were many people who brought their own chairs and picnic blankets hanging out on the grass area by the pond. We set up a blanket right in front of the pond and chilled. There was only one bbq food truck on the weekend we visited. It would have been a better experience if the family next to us wasn’t so loud. But overall we had a relaxing time. They have free wifi, which was nice! They also have electric car chargers stations.

Absolutely love this winery! If you're looking for incredible wine paired with breathtaking views, this place is a must. I drove 1.5 hours to get here and it was totally worth it. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff is welcoming, and every sip feels like a celebration of fall. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Don’t miss it!

What a wonderful place. We've been to many vineyards for wine tastings but this is the best by far. Had tasting out under the tent with Teresa, who is very personable, full of knowledge and fun to be with. After the tasting we went up to the taproom and continued to enjoy the wine with the added charcuterie board and Hummus plate. While there one of our cellphones got miss placed. We looked high and low for it. Jen at the front desk took name, number and description of the phone. We received a call that it had been found. We returned the next day just before opening and Ron went inside to retrieve it for us. Ron checked in a few times with us during our stay. All the staff made us feel at home. We plan on returning next month for another visit with a few more people.

Such a beautiful winery! Came here during a bachelorette weekend and it completely brightened the vibe of the trip. They had live jazz playing which made it feel extra special, and we tried a wine flight with four different wines (the Tocai was definitely my fave!). The views were absolutely stunning too. Would 100% come back again!

Millbrook Vineyards & Winery is a true hidden gem in Upstate New York. From the scenic drive in to the peaceful, rolling vineyards, everything about this place feels like a perfect escape. The wine is excellent—standouts like the Tocai Friulano and Pinot Noir really show off what the Hudson Valley has to offer. The tasting experience is relaxed and enjoyable, with knowledgeable staff who make everyone feel welcome, whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just curious. It’s also a fantastic spot to spend a full day with family and friends. You can bring a picnic, grab a bottle or two, and hang out on the terrace or in the grassy open spaces overlooking the vines. The setting is peaceful, the views are stunning, and the vibe is just right for both relaxing and celebrating. One of the best vineyard experiences in the region—can’t wait to return!

Loved the place is so beautiful. We did the RESERVE TASTING for $30 per person and it was a great experience. We also had pizza from the food truck and pretty good.

Very nice half day trip. Worth doing. Park was very well cared for and clean. The National Park staff was very helpful and made the trip experience great. The mansion does not have AC or a public bathroom. The tour of the mansion was very nice, enjoyed it. The mansion has a nice flower garden. No food at the park. Outside the park theres food and gas ⛽️ stations within 20 mins. I recommend this National Park property for a visit.

I've liked the guided tour very much: lot of information given orally (but few written descriptions inside about the art pieces). It's sad though to see the mansion's state as the Federal funding is not enough to ensure its maintenance. The gardens are maintained by local volunteers, just to give you a hint.. In any other countries (like France as an example), maintenance would be done to illustrate this Gilded age of America.

Great national park that allows those of us who are not wealthy to see how the other half used to? live(maybe many still do today). The park has great places to walk and enjoy the views of the Hudson River and you can walk the dog throughout the park. Did not get to go inside the house this time, but it is worth the visit to explore both the park and the mansion. The staff are friendly and informative.

The mansion is truly impressive, the richness of interior is simply amazing. Stunning landscape around. Everything is preserved very carefully – it is under protection of National Park Service. The Park Ranger told us an exiting story about Vanderbilt family, their ups and downs. Really recommend it for visiting.

Truly a wonderful experience! The tour takes you through the entire 1st and second floors, plus some of the basement. It's formatted as a listen to the tour guide for a while, then go off on your own and look around the floor for a bit, come back to the group, and so on. It was a great way to see everything at your own pace and be able to ask the guide extra questions. The tour is probably about an hour, but they do let you leave after the first floor if you don't want to continue. Our tour guide (I don't remember his name but he was from NJ!) was super knowledgeable about the Vanderbilts and the property. I could have asked about anything and I'm sure he would have had an answer! The grounds are stunning and very pleasant to walk around. There is a beautiful Italian garden, a giant carriage house, and various viewpoints of the Hudson river. For the price ($15), this can't be beat. It really is a beautiful place with an interesting history. Can't recommend it enough! This is a wheelchair accessible tour, with a wheelchair lift and an elevator. There are two staircases that are also used in the standard tour, thought the guide made it clear he was happy to operate the elevator if needed. The mansion is not air conditioned, so plan accordingly. Water bottles are allowed in, but other food and drink is not. I would not recommend bringing young children as you must be careful not to touch anything and do need to be quiet to hear the guide.

We visited on a Friday afternoon in late June 2025. When we arrived there were plenty of spaces in the parking lot. There were a lot of people here as well. We walked to the visitor center first. It was very ornate inside just like the mansion. There is an info desk at the back right of the main hall which had multiple rangers at. We rushed there first because we needed to get tickets to tour the mansion and it looked like a busy day. We did get tickets for the 5 of us for the 1PM tour. The tickets are $15/person and 15 years and younger are free. BUT if you have the NPS annual pass it's free for up to 4 people. So we had an annual pass and a 4th grade pass so we were fine. We also got junior ranger books here to work on. The NPS passport cancellation stamps are also in here on a table on the back left of the main hall. There were a few exhibits on the left side side in the adjoining rooms but it wasn't much. The bathrooms are to the right when you walk in. The kids worked on the junior rangers while we waited for our tour to begin. We did end up walking around outside exploring the gardens as well. We took lots of pictures and it was overcast skies so it was fantastic. We also walked out back behind the mansion which was beautiful as well. When it was time for our tour we met up with our group outside the mansion and all walked in together into the main atrium. The tour guides said we could listen to him talk or just start exploring the main floor. I think I was the only one who started walking around while we they were talking. I knew it was going to be a mad house after they finished talking. After they finish their talking everyone looks around and the rangers answers any questions you may have. We took a bunch of pictures. After a few mins they gather everyone back up and we moved to the upper floor and did the same thing again. The most interest factoid about the upstairs was the husband's and wife's bedrooms, which were separate. They had a special door that opened into each other's room but they had locks on them as well. The joke was that the wife's room had like 3 locks on it while the husband had just 1. You can probably understand why that was. wink wink. Lastly we went to the basement where the servants and staff lived and this is where the tour ends. Overall this was an amazing site. The mansion was so opulent and filled with such ornate stuff it was like a art museum. We would definitely come back here again to do the tour or even just walk around the property and gardens. Especially if we have the NPS pass anyways and can get in for free.

Beautiful and fascinating visit to the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park. The historical information was presented very well by the park ranger—friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions. The interior is truly opulent, and we were able to see the upstairs, main level, and basement. Walking the grounds adds to the experience. It can get warm inside during the summer months, but they do provide fans to help. A great stop for history lovers!

The FDR Museum was presented beautifully—like a walk through history, highlighting the pivotal changes FDR made to create a better America. The exhibits were informative, engaging, and easy to follow, offering a powerful sense of the era. The home tour was equally impressive. It was air-conditioned and allowed us to see most of the rooms, providing a real sense of how the Roosevelts lived. Our guide did a fantastic job sharing the history, explaining key events, and thoughtfully answering every question. A wonderful experience all around and a must-visit for anyone interested in American history.

This is the second presidential library I've visited and it was quite an amazing experience. The historical documents and letters especially where very cool to see. The library shows the entire life and presidency of FDR. The exhibits are very detailed and lots of historic pieces are at display! Seeing FDR's desk and car were also really cool!

This has been the first and so far only presidential library I have visited. I didn't know it was in ny lol but for was a new Yorker . My wife and my intentions was to visit both the house and this wonderful library. But unfortunately the house was sold out with limited access. I'm not sure if it's open now but if you never been to a presidential library and you're local this is the place to be. My wife was amazed at what a trailblazer Eleanor was and there was a guide there who was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining some of the history. Hopefully soon it will reopen if it's closed highly recommended

Exceeded our expectations, our tour guide for the house was excellent and full of interesting information. The house is as it was when turned over to the NPS in 1946 and well worth tour The library has so many interesting exhibits and fascinating thing to learn I’m a history buff and discovered many new items Even the cafe is great the food was delicious and service quick and a very friendly staff Highly recommended visiting when you can we spent about 4 hours all together

The FDR Library and Museum is a wonderful experience. The grounds are incredibly well kept. The exhibits are extremely informative and are complimented by some wonderful real pieces of history. Plan to spend 3 hours here if you really plan on taking it all in. Would highly recommend.

I thought I know a lot about FDR, the New Deal, the Great Depression and WW II before I visited here. I didn't. After spending 3+ hours walking through the Museum and Library, your start to appreciate how much influence FDR had globally and over the 20th century.

Learned a lot of good history about FDR, beautiful and well maintained grounds, architecture of the house is fantastic, and the park rangers are all knowledgeable. I appreciate NPS protecting our heritage and they all do a fantastic job. If you're into history, are looking for a park, into architecture or love gardens; this spot has a great variety. Worth stopping by if you're in the area.

What a historic and amazing home to visit! In visiting the FDR Library I also visited his home. You have to purchase a ticket to see the inside and it is with a park ranger tour. The ranger was very informative and gave us a great history about the Roosevelts and the home. I highly recommend visiting in conjunction with the presidential library.

Although the buildings were closed and unstaffed in late October due to federal closures, we visited the area and walked the grounds. Even from the exterior, we could enjoy the area — the vegetable garden, the building architecture and history, the beautiful views, and the inspiring artwork. Gratefully, there were few other visitors so we could go at our leisurely pace and spend time on the bench reflecting on how FDR and Eleanor created the government services that saved the country, even to today. An inspirational visit, it's a reminder that we have recovered from dark times before and can again.

This is the first presidential library and is well worth the visit. The park rangers are knowledgeable and answer questions with great detail and knowledge. The library, home and gift shop are all wonderful and well worth the visit. Family groups would certainly enjoy as this is a part of American history and conveys the times, life and loves of President Roosevelt's journey from child, adulthood and political career. Hyde Park and it's environs are also interesting with great food choices available. Come ... you won't be disappointed and if you have them... by all means bring your kids... you and they will learn a lot about President Roosevelt and american history!

We visited on a Friday afternoon in late June 2025. There were plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot when we arrived. There were a few that were shaded by trees but they were all taken. First thing we did was run into the info desk to get our tour tickets. it's located to the right when you enter. We got tickets for 2:30PM. There is a short film that plays in the visitor center on every hour and half hour in the auditorium. This is straight ahead. Directly to the left next to the doors when you come in is the NPS passport cancellation stamps. There are a few here and it's on a nice wooden table with glass top. If you continue to the left it's the gift shop (New Deal Store) and it's a pretty big one. The bathrooms are to the right behind the information desk. Also that's where the restaurant/cafeteria is and is called Uncle Sam's Canteen. To get to the site where the house tour begins, you walk out to the left and walk down the path pass the presidential library. and then veer off to the right to the stables or horse barn area. You meet for your tour there and our kids sat on some benches here to work on their junior range books they picked up at the info desk. The ranger giving the tour will start here and then walk everyone over to the house where you enter through the front doors. You can look around while they are talking, which is what I did to take pictures before the masses started running around. I found the main floor to be much more interesting than the upstairs floor which is mainly bedrooms. The rangers will gather everyone up and move everyone to the next floor together. You exit from the second floor out the back where they have makeshift metal stairs put in that take you down and around the back and side of the house and throws you back out front. Sadly we were behind schedule and didn't really have much time to explore much more of the property. We went straight back to the visitor center to turn in our junior ranger booklets and got the badges and left for Eleanor Roosevelts House at Val-Kil just down the street. Overall it was a great place to visit. There was so much more we could've done here and explored. I think if we were ever int he area again we would visit. We only had about an hour to explore the entire site and we did not plan enough time.

Due to the government shut down, I could not go inside. It is what it is! I was able to walk the grounds and there was plenty of self information displays. You still got a feel for FDR live style. I walked the 2.5 mile wooded trail from his home to the Vanderbilt estate but that was closed too

The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park, NY, preserves Springwood, the lifelong home and final resting place of FDR, the greatest president of modern times. The Colonial Revival mansion reflects his legacy with personal collections and a serene estate, inspiring visitors with its intimate connection to this iconic leader.

It's very impressive place. The house has been preserved so carefully. It really transports you back to that time and you realize what a powerful background the Roosevelt family had… It’s definitely worth a visit.

This park is beautiful, it has a lake and waterfalls and multiple easy trails to walk. It also has a small beach with a lifeguard where you can swim. There is also an area for kayaking. The only thing I did not like, was the area for long distance swimmers, there is a sign that states “only members can swim”, however it doesn’t say you can’t walk in that area. My husband and I walked there and a crazy “Karen” wanted us to get out and go back to the trail. We were admiring the lake and walking and not bothering anyone. It really did not make any sense, needless to say I stayed longer just to make her enjoy her day 😂 even more, some people just act entitled and I will put them in their place if needed, but it’s not the park’s fault. After all, it is a park, and people should be allowed to explore unless otherwise posted. Aside from this incident, I would recommend this park, you will need a few visits to see everything! Also the visitor’s center staff are very friendly and helpful.

Minnewaska State Park is honestly one of my favorite places to just get away and chill. The views are unreal—think cliffs, lakes, waterfalls, and endless trees. I love hiking the trails here; every turn feels like a new adventure, and the air is so fresh. Whether I’m hanging out by the lake, snapping photos, or just taking in the scenery, it’s always super relaxing. It’s the kind of spot where you can totally unplug and just enjoy nature. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with awesome views, you’ve gotta check this place out!

Hands-on most beautiful state park in New York has preserved the legacy of park’s founders Smiley brothers by maintaining the carriage roads and trails in excellent state. My favorite loop is to follow Castle road to Lake Awosting and return back via Hamilton road back to Minnewasca lake. Very scenic views that don’t require serious hiking effort, just slight inclines and declines. Natural beauty of Shawangunk Mountains here is supplemented by road building prowess of preserve’s founders and is the reason that we still have the park available now to thousands of daily visitors at a modest fee. Many grand historic hotels of Catskills don’t exist anymore including burnt out Cliff House and Windmere hotels previously located at shores of Lake Minnewasca till 1970s, so really glad that conservation efforts have succeeded here. New visitor center and expansive parking lots are huge improvement over park’s facilities of just six years ago.

Visited: Friday, October 24, 2025 I hiked the Castle Point Loop starting from the Upper Parking Lot. The parking lot was spacious and not crowded — definitely past the peak season — and parking was $10. The weather was a bit chilly, but the fall colors were still beautiful. At first, I took the UA trail toward Castle Point, but it was mostly gravel and not very exciting. Later I switched to the BR trail, which was better, though I hardly saw anyone the entire time — maybe fewer than five people total. The hike itself felt a bit monotonous; even on the way down, it was just gravel again, so I ended up jogging down. I remembered Gertrude’s Nose being much more interesting and scenic in comparison. I stopped by the Falls at the end, but honestly, it wasn’t something I’d go out of my way to see again. Overall, it’s a decent hike for solitude and views, but not one I’d rush to repeat — especially considering it takes around 5 hours round trip.

Oh, it's so lovely. I come down from the north, and seeing the beautifully colored autumn leaves is especially a big treat. The most basic trail around the large lake in the park is perfect for couples to come and take a light, short walk. Of course, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, needless to say. If you've done a lot of hiking, there are courses suited to different abilities, so it would be great to experience them together. The view of the park from above is truly breathtaking. The visitor center is clean, and the staff are very friendly. Even though I visited on a cloudy day, I highly recommend it to anyone nearby or within a 1-2 hour drive!

There is a lot of canopy for shade but there wasn't a lot of water coming over the falls. It was like a clogged shower head. You need to come after a rain storm. Over all it was nice, quiet, and not crowded. You can hear the sound of silence, and nature.

One of our favorite park for years. You can hike. We love trail bike riding here with the family. The views are spectacular! Worth the uphill ride. No camera can capture its actual beauty. And we love what we call “the secret lake” - Lake Awosting since it’s in the middle of seemingly nowhere. Surrounded by hills and trees. Not always open so check before you go. Perfect full day activity. Bring snacks. Every ridges and valley points are worth stopping to just soak in all that grandeur nature has to offer! Please make sure to take your trash with you as you go to preserve its beauty.

Great walkway over the Hudson, except for the elevator not being open to get back up to our car. Very nice views and most bikers were very considerate and going slower. Lots of walkers and restrooms on the other side were nice with AC!! Managed to walk over to the other bridge too, and did the entire loop. It was super hot and full sun so wear a hat, bring water etc.

Beautiful walkway with spectacular views of our gorgeous Hudson Valley. I especially enjoy it during autumn with all the colors on display. It is dog friendly but not all dogs are comfortable walking over the bridge. Although the trails at either side of the walkway are green, the walkway is concrete so although you'll love the walk, your pup might be more interested in what's at either end.🙂

Breathtaking!! It is incredible to see this bridge take on a new chapter in it's life! If you want a good walk, scenic views and get a better understanding of its history, I highly recommend that you walk this bridge. It's full of life everyday, from routine walkers and runners, to tourists looking for the perfect photo to families learning about the area together!

Gorgeous views over the Hudson and a great walk. 30min causal walking from one side to the other. So an hour round trip for us and our dog. The walkway closed at one point due to lightning storm but opened up shortly after and we were treated to a gorgeous view.

Walkway over the Hudson is one of the most beautiful viewing vantage points on the Hudson in my opinion. We went just before dusk and the views were incredible! If you do decide to go later in the evening just remember to bring a sweatshirt or something cuz it gets kind of breezy once you get over the water. Spend the day of it and Traverse over the Mid-Hudson and walk over the Hudson and then grab something to eat in town and I'll definitely be an afternoon worth the trip.

Walking on the bridge is about 10° cooler than elsewhere with the constant breeze over the Hudson River. It is incredibly beautiful and pleasant to walk the bridge. The bridge is very wide so you're not pushing past people. Bikes are allowed.

A breathtaking view of the Hudson River and surrounding hilly region. An important note to set the destination in google map as We found it a bit confusing to reach the start of the bridge. Set the destination on Google maps as 1. Visitor Center @ the Walkway over the Hudson. (U can take elevator) 2. 84 N Water St, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601(walk along the river and take elevator) 3. 49 Parker Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (u can directly access the start of the walkway) There are vendors at the end of the bridge to have drinks and snacks after a long walk. There is an elevator which will take you down to the riverbank if you want some good pictures keeping the bridges at the backdrop. There are restrooms at entrances and one down the elevator. We had to leave early as we visited on 4th July and they closed it at 4 pm to reopen it @6pm for fireworks. I am sure the sunset view will be breathtaking. Will visit again. Also, consider visiting Ashokan reservoir if u have some time left for the day.. Take a look at the picture where u can do payment for the parking. Remember the numbered parking lot where u parked ur car. Take a small walk and find the parking kiosk in the platform( probably track2) Visit walkway.org for more info …

Huge place! A lot of things to do with the family and dog friendly! Has a big dog park for them to run free in. So many different apples, pumpkins, has a sunflower field and corn maze. We enjoyed it so much we will be going back next year

Barton Orchards is one of the few local places that truly brings the community together. Without spots like this, our area wouldn’t have much to do! It’s sad to see people tear down a business over prices when prices have gone up everywhere — that’s just reality. I’m a local, so I bought the season pass for $86, and it was well worth it! I went to about six different festivals this season and saved around $136 — plus, it was so nice not having to pay admission each time. As for people saying it feels “too commercial,” I think that’s unfair. If the farm offered less, people would say there’s nothing to do, and when they offer more, people say it’s too much. Personally, I love that Barton has something for everyone. You can still enjoy the traditional farm experience, grab a drink at one of the three bars, or listen to great live music in a fun outdoor atmosphere. The employees are always friendly and helpful, and the farm is full of great energy. Sure, the lines can get long during big events (hopefully that improves), but that’s to be expected when a place is popular! Overall, a great local spot worth supporting — it truly adds life to our community.

The family and I had a great time and this place is worth it. I went with my mother and father and daughter and husband. There was a lot of space for my husband and I to escape our little human and send her off with my mother for face painting while we got some hard ciders. Then there was a carousel. It was far off in the distance but the walk burned calories and the Raspberry Hard Cider made the cold air feel even colder. And that carousel had some speed. My daughter loved it. Then they had pig racing which was free and honestly the best form of entertainment. I think it was the first time i heard a baby pig scream in real life. But they were all handled with care. If you take a look at the photo they also have carnival games. Theres my Chansey with an alien. The tickets for the carnival are paid for separately. But the games are a guaranteed win unlike in other places you go to where they want to take your money and destroy children’s dreams. The woman even helped my daughter win. It was very very nice. The apple cider donuts are 10/10 because let’s be real… that’s really why you’re there. They are soft and delicious. The ice cream too! It’s a farm everything’s basically fresh and that ice cream was the softest and purest ice cream I’ve ever had. So good. They have free hayrides which we did not participate in but it looked like everyone else had fun on it. They also had goats you got to feed and chickens which my daughter enjoyed feeding them. On your way out you can grab a pumpkin and there was apple picking but that season has ended. Apple picking is also a separate charge and you have to pay for the pumpkin. It goes by LBs obviously. But if you go here you won’t be disappointed and there’s a farmers market. There was also this moonshine bbq sauce i didn’t get to buy so i implore you all to go try that and tell me how that is i was really sad about that :(. Anyways i hope you all have fun if you go and bundle up if you’re going in the colder months it’s on a mountain the airs going to be significantly colder than wherever you’re traveling from.

I definitely enjoyed it more when it had that family business feel. Prices are geared toward city salaries for sure. It seems very commercialized now. The carnival was cute and a nice touch. Even if there was just one or two kids riding they’d operate the ride so we didn’t have to stand around. All Barton and carnival staff were sweet. The gentleman at the front checking bags was very polite and pleasant. My daughter got her face painted, the lady did a beautiful job although $20 is definitely the most I’ve ever seen for face paint. They removed a lot of the things they used to have at the fun park for the little ones. The donuts are still delicious but we couldn’t afford to eat actual meals here so I can’t speak on the rest of the food. Admission at $37 a person was a killer but our youngest got in free so that was a plus. They still had Live music which was fantastic. I wish they had more animals for us to pet and view. We got there around 11 so Lines weren’t long which made it a more enjoyable experience in that aspect. Mixed feelings on our visit but our kids were happy and we got to have a family day so overall satisfied.

Expect very long lines on the weekend, but anything for pumpkins! The musical acts were very enjoyable and the pig race was fun 🏁

We had the most incredible day at the “boos and brews” event! There were activities for the whole family. We arrived early so we accomplished all the fun amenities with limited wait times. Food, beer, cider, donuts everything was delicious! Not only is there live music, there’s now a huge barn with a show every so often throughout the day and it was incredible. The haunted house was scary, the rides were so fun for all ages. Yes, it gets expensive like a fair but what isn’t this time of year? Kids under 4 are free. Definitely making this a yearly tradition.

Entrance fee was $37 fof adult and $25 for kids. It is ONLY to get in everything else need additional payment- APPLE picking, rides, fun park, we etc. There are rides though YOU have to pay extra it. There was a band when we visited, a haunted house and petting place. OUTSIDE ood and drINKS ARE NOT ALLOWED .. not even a water bottle like hydroflask. So be prepared for long lines on the food stand.. food available was only pizza,chicken tenders, burgers, fries, sandwich. If you and,/or your kid has any dietary restrictions or allergies , better eat before going there . No VEGaN, GLUtten - FREE, etc options. Pets are allowed inside . They have NO drinking station for dogs around the orchard except in the dog park. So on a hot day it can be problem. There are no water fountains available to get water for free and water bottles cost like $4 It's a open place to visit with other things to do aside from Apple & Pumpkin picking.
