I've been going here since I was a kid and it's always a joy! I got to bring my son here for the first time and it is bringing back wonderful memories. The staff was nice and there are fun activities to do like the corner maze, petting cows and the place your face in the cardboard cutout photo. We can't wait to come back!

Delicious homemade ice cream and other treats. Free activities. Baby cows that you can pet. View cow milking and corn maze. Lots of great photo opportunities 😃 I have been going there since I was little and now I take my kiddos. Great place to spend an hour or so. Local delicious milk.

This farm has good ice cream and milk. It is a small farm that welcomes groups of kids and pets. There is no fee to visit.

Great choice of ice cream flavors in a cone or dish.. order inside and pay, then pick up outside or pick out of the freezer by dish.. my personal favorite is cheesecake! You can also choose items such as baked goods, soda pop in bottles, and some simple olde tyme deli candies. You can visit the baby cows... you can pet them but be careful, they like to nibble and bite your clothes LOL then swing down to the milking area and say hi to the full grown mammas and give them a nice head rub!

Very nice place and a good selection of foods, especially ice cream. Our daughter enjoyed seeing the calves.

We had such a great time petting all of the calves. The ice cream was amazing and there were so many unique flavors. Perfect for kids or people with special needs. Don't wear your best clothes as your hands will get dirty petting the calves. They also had a nice selection of jams, honey and other fun items to purchase.

My kids, as well as myself love coming here they buy far have the best ice cream with lots of different favorites to choose from and the kids always love seeing and petting the cows They have a little store inside that you can buy milk, candies, and lots of other goodies. There are picnic tables outside, corn maze and a little handwashing station outside as well.

Very cool stadium with excellent staff. Loved our ball game. Everyone has nice fun. Food was great. Prices were reasonable. Parking was tricky. Will be back

Take me out to the ballgame. Take me out with the crowd! What a delightful evening with friends. The game was tons of fun as well.

Very nice park, good seats. Welcoming staff and atmosphere.

Great family fun. Went on Wednesday for bark in the park and took our dogs. What a fun event.

Nice experience. Parking can be a challenge, so prepare in advance. The food was good. I would recommend getting the heritage section seats with in seat service.

Field in great shape. Good sightlines. Seating not overly cramped. Consessions close by and reasonably priced. Plenty of handicap seating.

Watched a great York Revolution game and enjoyed the perfect weather for evening baseball. Lots of activities between innings to keep you entertained. Food was a bit pricey, but tasty.

I mean what is there to say? It another awesome Amish Market/Flea market. A vast array of foods to choose from to eat there or take home. It's very much like Green Dragon in, Ephrata but slightly smaller. Same kind of set of stalls wise. Always great to get Amish pretzels. Looking for soap that's cheap and also smells great? Go here. They have it all.

One of the best Farmers Markets in Lancaster County! Only happens on Tuesdays but has so many options to choose from. If you’re hungry in between shopping for produce, meats, cheeses or desserts there are numerous food stands: Hoagies, Seafood/ Fish sandwiches, sit down Amish home cooked meal or a sit down place called Farmers Table. There are Whoopie Pies, Shoefly Pies, funnel cakes, pit barbecued pork, ice cream and more!!! Kettle style popcorn, a huge candy selection as well. There are plant auctions, poultry/livestock auctions. Parking is free but it gets busy but always a parking spot somewhere!

It's a big farmer's market with some stores and businesses, too. There are a lot of Amish sellers there and a lot of them do not take cards. So, if you go there, be prepared to have cash. I bought two belts from one of the Amish booths and had to go to an ATM and pay extra fee for the withdrawal. I was particularly surprised to see that Amish do not call their produce organic. I intentionally asked a few of them about it and none of them gave a positive reply. To end on a good note, at the entrance, they sell varieties of ice-cream of a very good quality. I was attracted to a beer ice-cream but decided not have it before a long drive :)

This place is awesome and has something for everyone. There are outside and inside vendors everywhere. The outside vendors just go on and on so be prepared to walk. The outside vendors were very polite and attentive. It was incredibly windy when we went but they still remained happy to help even with there wares blowing everywhere. They have old and new items that are unique and interesting, crafts, seasonal items, and really something for everyone. My only gripe is that this one starts very early, many vendors will leave early, some leave as early as 11 but more will leave by 1pm. So I'd say get there early, it might also help to be the crowds that will be there l, especially on Tuesday. Saturday is actually a bit calmer if you don't want the huge crowds but its a bit smaller with the outside vendors. The inside buildings also have stores that have everything from toys, Pokémon cards, homemade goods and crafts like soaps and candles and other items, and other unique knick knacks, tools, and other useful items. The vendors here are also polite and attentive. Many stores here are open to 8pm, so I'd recommend going outside first. You can also participate in a live auction if something catches your eye. Just know it goes by a bit slow if there are a lot of items. So if the item you want is at the end of the list, it might take a while, good news is there is so much else to do. There are also animals for sale if that is your thing. Now I wanted to do the food separately as there is so much going on. Both inside and outside vendors sell fresh produce and other seasonal items. On the inside you can also get fresh meats as well. Then you can also find things like candy, packaged goods, delis for sandwiches, hot dogs and hamburgers, chicken, and other cooked meals, they even have a sit down restaurant. Amish goods are also found inside, so prepare your sweet tooth. Outside also has a wide variety of great places. You can get great fries, pretzels, to things like pit beef, brisket, pulled pork and other BBQ items. They have shakes and a good coffee place as well. The main outside area to enjoy your meal usually has some live music playing. When we were there a great musician was playing. He was there for the full time we were there, (5hrs,) and sounded great the whole time. I found the place clean, (even the bathroom,) and friendly and there really is something for everyone. A little bonus if you have kids or just love alpacas, there is a alpaca farm just next door that is usually open when the market is going on. Remember, get there early!

The bounty of fresh produce, meat, chicken and fresh sausage is unmatched. The prices are very reasonable. However, only select vendors accept credit cards, so bring cash. Basil was $1, carrot bunches $2 and 1/2 doz corn $1.50.

Such a nice place to visit. Auctioning flowers, chickens, & such. There's butcher cut meat, pastries,cheeses, fried oreos, food stands, & much of ANYTHING you want to purchase! Sadly, the 💐 set off my allergies 😢 🤧!

Great selection of merchandise with good prices. Fresh meats, vegetables and baked goods. Plants, furniture, handmade items and much more.

Great park in a great town. Today we saw a live performance of "Swing" performed by Servants Stage. It was music, dance and awesome singing. The park has an excellent band shell, along with a concession stand, picnic pavilions and restrooms. The stream runs through the park and is home to dozens of ducks. A fun place to visit.

It's a perfect place for family picnics, there are tables with benches, peaceful environment with squirrels and ducks, and free parking. The Lititz Spring park is quite small and it's actually surprising how many different impressions that place can fit. There are ponds and canals for ducks. There is a church near by with beautiful flowers. There are sounds of organ coming from time to time to the park (maybe from the church). There are some nice cafes around (I recommend New Holland). It's a good place to relax and talk to your family outside your house.

Lititz Spring Park is a charming space with lush greenery and serene fountain. The Reading caboose station was a fun photo op. A lovely place to unwind and enjoy; watching the ducks swim by was delightful. There is free parking. Highly recommend for a peaceful stroll!

Never been to a park before tailor made for ducks. Good size park for being in the center of a town. Has plenty of green area and trees, 2 huge covered outdoor picnic facilities and a man made stream running through it. They take advantage of the gentle slope and have 2 big ponds at both ends. The ducks take notice and flock there to sit and drift all day long. Unique.

This is a cute park where you can sit back and relax or learn some history with the caboose museum. Feed some ducks or let your kids unwind in the playground . There is a gazebo for a party and baseball field .

It’s always been my favorite park since first visiting last year for the July 4th. There’s an extremely small but cute farmers market every Thursday (which more places should def get in on this so can have more shoppers supporting small businesses!) it’s always so clean, the ducks are so cute and chill and they aren’t those pesky Canadian geese, they are actual real ducks lol. What’s missing is a dog park/area, splash zone for kids, and a secured way to get into the park from the residents in the buildings next to it. I do enjoy all the pokemon Go community things that happen, there should be more little festivals! It’s such a big place with a amphitheater even

Mi girls and I love this park we come to visit Pennsylvania once a year to visit family and Lititz park is a must . We love feeding the ducks and play on the swings and playground

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I cant even begin to tell you how happy my husband and I were that we decided to do this tour. Leah, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and you could honestly tell how much she enjoyed the history of the mansion and the stories. Great job Leah, thank you for being so interesting and invested! This is a must see while visiting Jim Thorpe! Everything inside was fabulous and I would go through this tour again just to take another look! 😀

Museum tour is filled with interesting facts about Asa and the Packer family. You can not tour the home alone. Tour is owned and run by the town of Jim Thorpe. Fascinating to see tech advances from the 1800s. The full mansion is not available to be toured.

We didn’t go inside, but the exterior of the mansion is impressive and beautifully maintained. It’s worth a quick stop to admire the architecture and take some photos while walking around downtown Jim Thorpe.

What a great time! This was such a worthwhile trip. Make sure you get Eric as a tour guide. I even had a question about a statue outside of the premise. They called me back and though they didn't have an answer they will call me back as soon as they get an answer.

The Queen of all historic homes!! The Asa Packer mansion is so beautiful- a definite must see if you love elegant craftsmanship and architecture. I drove 5 hours round trip in one day to tour the home and it was worth every minute! The only downfall in my opinion, is no photos are allowed inside. You have to see it to believe it.

What a cool house with wonderful history. We enjoyed our visit to this spectacular mansion so much because of Erik,our amazing tour guide. He knows every nook and cranny of this mansion along with all its historical facts. He's loves this place and it shows through his detailed tour. He really made our visit and tour special. It's so refreshing to see someone enjoy what the do for a living. Go visit the Asa Packer house and ask for Erik, you won't regret it.

Built in 1861, this Victorian Italianate architecture-style home was constructed over a span of two years at a total cost of $14,000 dollars. The Asa Packer Mansion listed as a National Historic Landmark was the home of philanthropist, railroad magnate, and founder of Lehigh University, Asa Packer, from Oct. 16, 1861, to Oct. 29, 1912. Located in Jim Thorpe, this building is recognized by a red-ribbed tin roof and a central cupola proudly atop Packer Hill with the commanding stunning views of the surrounding Pocono Mountains, where my partner, his aunt and I came for a tour today. Tickets were easily available and reasonably priced for the 1pm tour, which covered the entirety of the first and second floors. Our tour guide was a young lady (she mentioned she is a senior in high school) who obviously loves her job and is personally interested in the history of the mansion and family. From the furniture, woodwork, and stained glass to the artwork, she spoke about the history or significance. The mansion is not a restoration where pictures and video are prohibited inside. An amazing walk back in time, for which we can recommend this place.

The Old Jail Museum is a fun and interesting stop with a lot of rich history to explore. The museum is smaller than I expected, but still packed with fascinating stories and artifacts. The employees are super friendly and make the visit even better. The only downside is parking—there’s a tiny lot that fits maybe 7 cars, so plan ahead. Overall, I highly recommend visiting if you’re in Jim Thorpe!

A great little tour and insight into local history. Staff is very courteous and the gift shop is cute too. Tickets are super inexpensive and proceeds maintain the facility. Definitely a must see/experience if you're in the area 😁

We didn’t go inside, but the building itself looks very historic and gives a sense of the town’s past. Even from the outside, you can appreciate its architecture and the story it represents. A quick stop for anyone walking through downtown Jim Thorpe who enjoys history and old buildings.

If you're interested in history, and the paranormal, this is certainly a spot to visit. I enjoyed the tour they offered and even had a, thankfully friendly, visit from one of the spirits that inhabit the place. Getting to finally see the hand print on the wall was really amazing. They have Cell #17 closed, but you are still able to look into the cell and see the hand print on the wall, but you are not allowed to photograph it. I do recommend booking a spot for the tour before you go though, as the tours do tend to fill up quickly. I was actually booked for the second tour of the day, but I got there early enough I was able to join the first. Guides were very nice and I enjoyed the tour.

Great tour, we had a young man who did a great job on the entire tour. He has been there his whole life so he was very informative! We were in the last tour so he gave us extra time to explore, ask questions and he was great with the seniors.

A 19th century fortress built by Carbon County, PA in 1871. Housed a contingent of Molly Maguire's, Irish immigrant coal miners persecuted by those owning the mines and railroads (often the same) on fake charges after they struck for better working conditions. 10 were hung, at least 6 in the jail. Cell 17 has "the handprint". Just before being hung, one defendant put his grimy hand on the wall and said it would always be there to show his innocence. Scientists have examined it, it has been painted over, whitewashed over, scrubbed but always reappears. One person I was with said she felt sorrow and heard talking. Guides said folk have reported paranormal activity after hours.

Very cool experience. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit. Learned a lot! Highly recommend Cost: economical! ... only $12 per person Begins with an short informational video Tour: our guide was very informative and gave plenty of time for pictures and observation while in the dungeon and in the cell block Plenty of opportunity to learn about the Molly Maguires, local history, and jail life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amazing Place to visit while in Scranton PA! Very kid friendly, and interesting for the whole family. You can pay for a ticket to ride their trolley and train ride, which explains the history of the area. There is also the turntable + roundhouse museum, which houses lots of relics and trains, all of which is free to see. Overall an amazing place to stop by whenever you have free time, plus it's a short walk over the bridge to the Steamtown Marketplace & Trolly Museum!

This is another wow, wow, wow moment. Had no idea stopping to check Scanton PA out was going to yield this awesome find. This place was loaded with all kinds of history. Obviously you have to be a person interested in history to appreciate this kind of site. But how could you not be? This may be the best preserved site in America dedicated to the railroad, and steam engine. I'm so glad that this is somehow funded for our citizens to be able to enjoy. It's so cool to see the kids be in awe of these trains. I know growing up, I was interested in trains as well.

This is a very big site with plenty to see. It's pretty confusing to know where to go. I went to the trolley museum and steam town. There's is actually another museum called the technology museum by steam also that I think is work checking out. It's very interesting seeing the history of the rail system and how Scranton became known as the electric city. There are guided tours that take about an hour and brings you to where they work on restoration of different trains.

Even if you're in Scranton for the Office, make sure you go here! I found out they had one of the 8 remaining Big Boy trains and had to stop by. It's out in the parking lot and is beautifully restored. The museum is free. Staff are all friendly. There's easily a half day of stuff to see, but you could easily spend a full day here. Lots of beautiful trains and very thorough and informative walk through exhibits. I ran out of time and didn't have a chance to walk on the walkway above the rail yard, or go to the electric trolley museum. You will not be disappointed!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great location! We stayed the night before we headed into Cooperstown, NY for our sons tournament. It was the perfect stop before a long week. Great pools for the kids, restaurant food was amazing and good attentive service. Not to mention for the price it was all well worth it. Casino was bigger than expected and everyone was very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Planning a wedding from across the country is no small task, but thanks to Shannon, it was truly a dream come true. I live in Arizona and was so nervous about coordinating everything from so far away, but from the very first day I met Shannon, she made the entire process feel like a walk in the park. We had our wedding at Tioga Downs on the Terrace, and it was absolutely beautiful – better than I could have ever imagined. Shannon was not only incredibly professional and organized, but also warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She was always available to answer questions, calm my nerves, and offer helpful suggestions every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing – all I had to do was show up and enjoy every moment. Shannon handled everything behind the scenes flawlessly, allowing me, my husband, and our guests to simply soak in the joy of the day. I can’t recommend Shannon enough. She is an absolute gem and a huge reason why our wedding was so special. Thank you, Shannon, from the bottom of my heart!

My family and I love coming here. My kids and I use the hotel, pool, eating, arcade, and watch horses, while my husband goes to enjoy the casino. We love the rooms especially the suites. The rooms are clean overall, and all the staff are fantastic, especially Leeda at the front desk. I find her and many others to go above and beyond with service.

Nice smaller casino and a beautiful horse racing 🐎 track. Didn't stay at the hotel so cant comment on that. It's nice that they do stuff for the spectators at the horse 🐎 track. And good luck to whoever wins this year's Horse 🐎 Play!

My husband and I enjoyed this casino. This was our first time here. We both got $10 free play and my husband got another $10 for it being his birthday. It is smoke-free, which is a huge plus for us. The parking is free and the food prices are comparable to regular restaurants, unlike a lot of hotels and resorts that jack up their prices. The staff here are all helpful and friendly. They have electronic and manual slots, blackjack, baccarat, and multiple poker tables, craps, roulette, bubble craps and a virtual table roulette. This place is over 3 hours away from our home and we plan on coming back in the future.

We were so blessed to have found Tioga Downs for our stay. We were in NY for business and our RV decided to hiccup and we had to have her towed to a garage about 35 miles away in Binghamton. We were able to relax, enjoy and play while we waited for repairs! Your hotel staff is AMAZING!!! Shelly (Manager) welcomed us like family! Leda and the girls at the front desk were always so helpful. The cleaning staff…wonderful. We had to keep extending our stay as our repairs kept being delayed! I can now say we actually vacationed at Tioga! We were there almost a week! Thankful for the Country Fair Buffet. It was like cruise dining! Trevor is an incredible go to for everything we needed to know about your food offerings to help with allergens and information. Regina served us and made us feel extra special. We almost knew everyone on a first name basis. Great staff! Shawn Drum (Poker Host)…a friend now and hope to see him again upon returning to NY. We call Florida home so not sure when we can get back, but when we do…we will look forward to it! If you read this, please be sure our love and kudos to those mentioned above get expressed to them somehow! Those kind, caring and compassionate people who love what they do are keepers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only visited for a buffet lunch on the off chance. Great choice! Good selection of salad/hot food and dessert. Pleasant servers. Worth a visit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The most beautiful campus ever built 🌸🔥🌄

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

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

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

If there were more than 5 stars we would have gladly given them! Arriving yesterday with 2 bird-loving enthusiasts, we were warmly welcomed by Rachel who was incredible! She was waiting to greet the eldest bird lover, my mother. At the age of 102, Catherine had the best time recognizing the variety of birds, while Rachel showed us some of the hands on displays. Rachel's kindness and genuine interest in making Catherine's experience a positive one was beyond what we ever expected. Thank you, to the staff and especially Peter Leipzig and to Rachel for bringing so much joy to someone who has dedicated her life in helping others.

Always a fun way to spend a few hours when in the Ithaca area. The interactive museum installations were so enjoyable. I recommend the trail/walk around the pond when visiting

Lots of different trails to walk. So many different kinds of birds and wildlife. Interesting to see the different things Cornell is doing. They have a whole area that has a fence. They are seeing how deer affect habitats. worth checking out. They have an observation area inside. As well as a gift store and learning areas.

It was marvelous. The birds, the environment, suitable for children. This place is incredible because it has separate rooms for interacting with bird sounds, natural encountering places etc.

This place was an unexpected delight. The family and I are visiting Ithaca and ran into some rainy weather that spoiled a lot of outdoor plans we'd made for the day. We decided to give the lab a shot. Peter was working the front desk, and he gave us a verbal your of the public area, and was very helpful with my son, encouraging him to log his bird observations into the touch screen device they had for such things. There is a really cool interactive area with a microscope, short videos, and art made from feathers and bones. Also there was a small art gallery featuring realistic nature renderings (and a whole how-to video series in the auditorium) It was free to the public and provided us with a very entertaining 2 hours. Really cool spot!

Fun museum about birds, the front desk lady was so awesome about explaining everything. They offer binoculars to borrow to view the birds and ducks in the water out front. There is hiking options, but it was pretty cold when I was there. There’s a theatre room with different short videos about different birds. Many interactive activities for kids and adults. Don’t forget to go upstairs! This was a cool experience.

If you are interested in learning more about birds, this is a great place to visit. The indoor setup is kid friendly and fun. Can spend 1-2 hours here. There are also viewing areas for wild birds and short easy trails. Free parking at site.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The park people are knowledgeable of the history of the fort. My grandson and cousins lived being able to walk the ledges around the fort and go down into the underground parts. Beautiful views.

Fort Ontario is a unique star shaped fort located in Oswego, NY. The original fort was constructed in 1755. The fort was the site of many battles in many wars including the French and Indian War, American Revolution, and the War of 1812. The fort would continue to be used as a military base of sorts all the way until the end of WW2. During WW2 the fort took in nearly 1,000 refugees who were escaping the Holocaust. Today, the fort is a New York State Historic Site. For a small fee you can take a self-guided tour of the fort. The fort has a small, but interesting museum on its history through the years. After seeing the museum you can walk around the star shaped fort and visit nearly all of its buildings. The houses and barracks in the fort are well preserved and presented as they would’ve looked in the mid-19th century. The fort has very knowledgeable historical reenactors as well. On top of the well presented history, the fort also offers great views of Lake Ontario. Near the fort on Lake Ontario you can also see a historic lighthouse. Views of parts of the city of Oswego are also possible at the fort. Overall, this is a great historic site to visit. The history here is well presented in an engaging manner. Being able to walk around the fort with its nice views is an added bonus. The fort is an awesome place to visit in Oswego

I don't want to knock it because it was closed thanks to the government shut down. We enjoyed a walk around the fort bur would like to come back in the future to actually get in. Our trip was planned and booked well before the shutdown so just unfortunate timing for us.

Fort Ontario is a stunning historic gem! Watching the Syracuse Symphony perform there last night was magical—perfect blend of history, music, and lakeside charm. The acoustics and setting were fantastic!

You can walk around the exterior of the fort and read about the history for free. There are also picnic tables overlooking the water. There is a nice view of the lighthouse as well. It's great that they have preserved this piece of local history! I stopped over while the fort itself was closed but I would love to visit again to learn more about the history.

This is a beautiful place to relax, to walk, and to fly a kite! Their ghost tours are amazing too! There is such a beautiful view of the lake, especially at sunset. The museum and artifacts are really cool. Be sure to come support this amazing Fort!

If you like history this is a wonderful place to visit. I've been there several times, they dress in period clothes, host reenactments, share the early American historical facts as our country was shaping. There is a small cemetery off to one corner, ask about anything - the staff is very helpful in answering. Great place to bring the kids - especially so they can learn a bit about our country.

Visited mid-week so was very calm and pleasant. The heat kept most animals in the shade staying cool, but some were active nonetheless. Never seen a black bear so close, and one of the zookeepers was playing with the wolves. He'd run back and forth by the cage and they would watch him and do it too! And the otters....! I could watch them play all day. They actually seemed to ham it up for a camera, lol. Can't wait to come back here!!!

Fun little zoo. My wife and I were visiting with no kids. Keep in mind Its a small zoo. While you wont see any monkeys, camals, giraffes, hippos and animals like that, you will see Bobcats, wolverines, bears, elk, goats, eagles, and some reptiles. Admission was only $12 which I felt was fair for what it is, and was well kept and we enjoyed the walk. Deducting a star due to the butterfly house (didnt actually see any butterflies in there) and the petting zoo being closed. Wasn't a huge deal for us, but I could see it being disappointing for families with children. We didnt check out the park that its actually surrounded by, but looks like you could spend a nice day there and I noticed walking paths and playgrounds.

Small but we knew that. A gorgeous day. Very well kept up. Wish all the animals had companions. Took our time. 2 hrs seeing all the local animals. Sci tech bldg was cool. My hand magnet was off the chart! What does that mean..lol! Always see and learn something different. Always buy a gift for the kids and donated. Thank you. Great, friendly staff. Prayers for the sweet animals that we saw. Not the best pics but I tried.

We enjoyed walking around here very much and seeing the local animals of the state. My favorite would be the Wolverine and the otters. Canadian Lynx were great too.

We’ve been members at Zoo New York for two years now and between the zoo itself and all the events they have it’s well worth the price if you live in Watertown and have young kids. We come at least once a week most of the year. My only complaint is that the Halloween things they put up for most of October are way too scary for young kids. I just wish that it were at least set up in a way that you could avoid the spooky things when walking around the zoo, especially since it seems to me that most zoo attendees have pretty young kids.

This little zoo and science center in Watertown, NY, is an absolute gem! People can be unfair expecting a big-city zoo, but this place has a calm, pleasant atmosphere that’s perfect for families. The kids love visiting the science center, and the butterfly garden was a delightful addition. The wolverine was an adorable little show-off, and the otters were playful and engaging. We also never miss a game at the giant chess set—it’s always a hit with the kids. It’s not huge and doesn’t have many exotic animals, but it’s educational, welcoming, and easy to explore at a comfortable pace. Many of the animals are rescues—injured or unable to survive in the wild—so every visit has a meaningful side. There’s also a playground, and we stumbled upon a black currant bush—such a fun little find, and the currants were delicious! Just across the parking lot is a pool and splash pad, with another playground and a city overlook up the hill. It’s the perfect spot for a full day of family adventures. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Watertown!

Cute zoo, but more then half the exhibits were empty. I still think it is worth going and supporting. The grounds were also kept very nice.

A quiet and peaceful place with an amazing view. While most of the lighthouse grounds are open to the public, the light itself is off limits, as it is still in active use, though you can peak inside. There is a small visitor center where you can pick up free maps of lighthouses in the area and the fog house is open to the public for viewing. There is a small observation deck where you can look out to the St. Lawrence River and have a clear view of the Canadian side of the river.

Beautiful area and well maintained park, lighthouse, and buildings. The views here of the St Lawrence River and Lake Ontario are amazing. Great staff in the small gift shop.

Very peaceful with faint sound of waves crashing on the shore. Has great view of lake Ontario

Nice area. Was very buggy when we went. The shop worker was a little rude but otherwise nice grounds.

Very nice lighthouse. Although nothing was open on Sunday morning we could still walk around the grounds and walk up to all of the buildings. Very well maintained buildings and grounds. I am glad we stopped by.

Open 27/7, 365. Beautiful sunset and lighthouse. Canada is just across the water.

Beautiful spot for a view of the St Lawrence River and sunset.

We had a beautiful day for a boat ride to Boldt Castle, and it did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The Castle itself is breathtaking — it’s been preserved in pristine condition. I didn’t see a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. It was so nice to explore at our own pace with the self-guided tour. Tip: Once you pass through Customs but before your ticket is scanned, grab one of the program guides available in both English and French — it really helps you navigate and learn about each area. The Gift Shop is also a must-visit for a great selection of souvenirs. Walking through the Castle was a humbling experience. It’s incredible to see the love George Boldt had for his wife, Louise — keep an eye out for the heart motifs throughout the décor. Wherever he could, he included them, and it adds a really touching layer to the visit. This tour is best suited for adults or interested young adults. There isn’t much to engage children under 13. Overall, I highly recommend making time for this excursion. It’s a perfect blend of history, romance, and stunning views.

When you go online to buy the tickets the very short ferry from the yacht house (where you park the car) to go to Boldt Castle (which is on its own island) is free. Do not be scammed by hotel people saying you can get a discount if you buy the tour. Unless you want to do a tour of the other island and go up and down the water. Otherwise the $32 entrance fee to the castle includes the yacht house, the ferry and the castle. All self guided. Download app to listen. The upper level still are not complete, but renovations are planned. The low levels and some rooms on the second level are renovated and looked really nice reflecting the actual blueprint. The grounds are gorgeous flowers everywhere, and beautiful colorful plants. Every window you look out of in the castle you can see a view of the water, which is amazing. You do get to go to the unfinished upper levels just to see what things look like, but really not much there. A small gift shop on the second floor… relatively moderately priced items. A nice way to spend the afternoon. I think the entire thing took maybe around two hours. Parking is also free. You do have to walk on gravel from the parking lot to the yacht house. So if you have walking disabilities, please note that it’s at least six 700 yards away. You can buy tickets online and save the QR code for each ticket purchased. The little fairy that goes back-and-forth from the castle comes every 15 minutes. When you’re at the actual castle, there’s a very small store that sells things like hotdogs/hamburgers if you are hungry. A very lovely home and will definitely be returning in the future to see what other renovations they have.

We visited Boldt Castle and the Boldt Yacht House on June 29, 2025, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the views of the St. Lawrence River from the castle are absolutely stunning. We took our time exploring each floor, and the restored rooms and historical displays gave us a fascinating look into the Boldt family’s story and the castle’s unique history. The Yacht House was a surprise highlight – the collection of historic boats and the architecture itself were impressive, and the staff there were friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions with genuine enthusiasm. We enjoyed walking around the docks and seeing the craftsmanship of the old wooden boats up close. There is plenty of space to wander, take photos, and enjoy the river breeze. It never felt crowded, and we appreciated the relaxing pace. The ferry ride to and from the castle was smooth and added to the experience with scenic views of the islands. If you are in the Thousand Islands area, Boldt Castle and the Yacht House are must-see attractions that offer a perfect mix of history, architecture, and natural beauty. Highly recommend spending a few hours here to take it all in.

It was so beautiful!! The staff were extremely nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. We even came upon a proposal at the shell fountain and she said yes! They looked so happy. The boat ride is very short and the docks easy to navigate. The paths are kept clear of debris and the map was easy to follow. I would highly recommend!!!

This place was so amazing. Every single staff member was so sweet. It was just breathtakingly beautiful!!! The gardens, the inside, the outside, you could easily spend an entire day here! My only complaint was that the gift shop was kinda lame. I definitely want to renew my vows here in a few years.

We visited Boldt Castle in the summer, and it was beautiful. We loved the landscaping and the architecture, but the true story behind the "home" was heartbreaking. Walking through the castle felt like trespassing in a shrine to a life that never got to be lived. If you're a Downton Abbey or Gilded Age fan, you don't want to miss this one!

Such an amazing piece of history to visit and story to learn. They have restored a good portion of the castle and other buildings and the grounds are also beautiful. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful summer afternoon. We were lucky it was not too busy and were able to appreciate the beauty of Heart island. We did a 5-hour excursion from Rockport which included a 3 hour stop at the island. Well worth it!

Today my partner and I went on a double date with our mutual friends to the Windward Restaurant (the restaurant attached to the casino). I’m new to the area, so it’s only my second time dining at the Windward. The prices are super fair for the food quality and portion size. They have a moderate selection of food with lots of comfort food choices. Their selection includes pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, salads, appies, and a few other items. They have a large selection of cocktails as well. Additionally, our server Mark W. was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and had great timing. He would check in with us at all the right moments without feeling overbearing. Overall, I would say this restaurant is a hidden gem and a must try if you’re visiting Gananoque, ON.

To: Management, Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands Subject: Formal Complaint – Unacceptable and Unprofessional Experience on July 20, 2025 Dear Shorelines Casino Management, I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the unacceptable level of service I received during my visit to your Gananoque location on the evening of July 20, 2025. I have been a loyal patron of your casino since the day it opened. Over the years, I’ve witnessed a steady decline in both the professionalism of your staff and the overall customer experience — but what happened during my most recent visit crossed a line I never thought I’d see in an established gaming facility. At around 7:30 p.m., I approached the cashier’s cage to cash out $125 in chips. I waited for over 12 minutes with absolutely no staff in sight. Eventually, I noticed a sign saying someone would return at 7:45 p.m. — meaning a single guest, at the end of their evening, is expected to wait 15 minutes (or longer) just to cash out. This is not a corner store — it’s a casino. And leaving a cashier’s cage unattended during operating hours is not only unprofessional, it’s absurd. When I flagged down a manager — a woman with dark hair and heavily tattooed arms — her response was equally appalling. Rather than apologizing or making any effort to assist, she became defensive and dismissive, telling me the cashier was on her 15-minute break and that they “don’t have the staff.” I told her I had already been waiting nearly 20 minutes, and that this was simply unacceptable — to which she offered no solution, no accountability, and certainly no professionalism. Let me be clear: it is not the customer’s responsibility to adjust to your staffing shortages. And it is not acceptable for a guest to wait half an hour to cash out, only to be met with attitude and excuses from a manager. If this is how your leadership handles a simple service breakdown, it’s no wonder the experience at this casino has deteriorated so badly. The message this sends is loud and clear — your staff’s time matters, but your guests’ time does not. That is a fatal flaw in any service industry, let alone one that relies on customer loyalty. After decades of visiting your casino, I will not be returning. I hope you take this feedback seriously, because what I experienced was not just poor service — it was a complete failure of basic operational and managerial competence. 0/10 D-

I recently visited this casino, and I’ve never had such an unpleasant experience. The security guards, Jay and Nicole, were extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Instead of ensuring guest safety or providing assistance, they seemed more interested in trolling guests and making snarky comments. What’s worse is how contradictory their behavior was to the casino’s own policies, which are clearly posted on the signboard at the bottom of the front desk. The board states that guests will be treated with respect and that all concerns will be handled professionally. Yet, Jay and Nicole did the exact opposite — dismissive, rude, and completely lacking in customer service skills. When I tried to address the issue or speak with a manager, I was met with attitude and zero accountability. It’s disappointing to see employees who act above the rules the casino itself claims to enforce. If management truly cares about their reputation, they should retrain their staff or reconsider who represents their brand at the front line. Until that happens, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere — and I suggest others do the same.

Went here with a friend and the vibe isn't what it used to be. They seem to be missing key features to attract people. Before there were buffets available, more tables open and when it has more patrons, the place becomes more upbeat. We went to one in Ottawa and it was night and day in comparison.

Had a wonderful dinner and gambled! Walked out with extra money and a very full satisfied tummy! Spent the night in our rv, very quiet area. Thanks for a terrific evening😊

a terrific casino and entertainment center. it's always a good time. the staff are super friendly and courteous. the place is always neat and tidy. the security team keeps everything in order. a great vibe here. we had our emotional support dog and she respected the place while being quiet and sitting or laying down

A completely controlled casino, with zero chance of winning on slot machines (bonuses don't even pay you half of what you've bet) or on tables (the machine that shuffles and deals the cards), plus very few tables open (only one table for 3 players playing doubles) and stifling heat inside. It's supposed to be on the highway and a pleasant stop, but it’s a complete disaster experience.

Very nice place for kids. Very interactive and lots of things to see for everyone. I personally love the otters and the beaver! There is also a free ropes course within the building. If you have little kids, an adult should be with them since they can't attach themselves by themselves. Make sure you aren't afraid of heights! The planetarium was also great and interesting for older age groups.

Nice place! But honestly, it’s a bit overrated. Sure, it’s not bad, and probably fun if your kids are under 5, but the price still feels quite high, especially for an adult ticket. On the bright side, the otters were super cute and active, and the beaver was really entertaining! Though I have to say, I felt a bit sorry for the beaver — its enclosure seemed cramped, with just a small pen and a tiny one-metre-by-one-metre pool. So yes, there are things to see, but I’d say it’s more of a one-time visit… or best if you’re five:)

This place is awesome!! I visited this weekend with my 4 children 15 to 6. They all had a blast. I myself was amazed and learned so many things. I love the hands on experience touching the stars and the shells and learning about them. There are games as well and presentations, a pirate ship, cord climbing etc. In the main entrance, there are multiple games for the children and a souvenir shop. Aquariums were fantastic with a wide variety of fish, shells, separate ones for otters, a beaver, turtles, a snake etc. Entrance was about 26$ per adult and 21$ for children 3 - 15 years old. Paid parking available underground or outdoor parking. Washrooms were clean. Staff was great and super patient and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this place! Definitely worth the visit!!

The Aquatarium at Tall Ships Landing offers a unique waterfront experience, nestled within a condo complex. While the admission fee of $26.25 for adults and $21.20 for children (3-17) is on the pricier side, a full-day pass allows for return visits, making the otter feeding a highly recommended way to maximize value. Younger visitors will find plenty to engage them, from a large ship climber and interactive water power displays to well-maintained aquariums showcasing local marine life and a supervised touch tank. Although the beaver feeding was a bit sleepy, the highlight for many, including myself, is the captivating river otter exhibit, featuring three to four playful residents. The gift shop offers standard souvenirs. Staff are notably friendly. While a pleasant visit, it didn't quite reach the heights of Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. Several restaurants are conveniently located nearby.

Awesome aquarium and more! It's fishes aren't numerous but they have many other fun and interactive activities. From watching the beaver do tricks and eat to watching the Otters playing and get fed. There's an indoor suspended wood obstacle course, slide in a ship, target launchers, make a weather broadcast with costumes ans so much more! If you like drawing and technology, color in a robot and see it come to life on a big screen. You can touch some sea creatures, like star fish, sea slugs, crab, etc. A fun place for all ages!

It was so great, I almost want to gatekeep this little adventure spot! Visited with 4 and 1.5 year old kids. We went for the otters, and also loved the interactive water tables, Port of Johnstown exhibit, touch tank, animated sandbox, aquariums, and amazing staff. Before we'd even left, we were talking about getting membership to visit on repeat! Looking forward to visiting when the kids are older too so that they can enjoy the ropes course, green screen newsroom etc.

Super cool aquarium. Come through this town twice annually, wish I knew about it sooner. Otters were excited when people walked up to their enclosure, which was also very large and well made. Definitely worth a visit if you like fish and animals.

Get back to nature park You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Best park store I have ever been in has everything you need even fishing rods. Very clean park that gets you back to nature. Had a no hydro site 129 that back on to a pond it was very wide and private. The beach is back to nature not man made with sand all over. You think you are in the middle of nowhere Can’t wait to go back. Best fishing I have ever had. All fish went back in. My shoe is a size 12.5

We have frequented many of Ontario’s Provincial Parks over the years, as do many of our friends and family, but no one had any experience with Murphy’s Point Provincial Park so we arrived not knowing what to expect. The park is gorgeous to hike and bike around. There are countless places to paddle, and every campground had nice forest coverage. We ended up meeting the Warden after a minor after-hours arrival issue (resolved) and he was so helpful and interesting to talk to; a tremendous representative of the park. We would definitely go again. One pro-tip though: Many of the sites were small, had significant slope, boulders, and/or roots, which would make pitching a tent or tents difficult. When searching for reservations, list your equipment (1 tent, 2 tents, RV, etc) as being bigger than what you actually intend to bring so that you end up with a campsite that will better meet your needs.

Murphy's Point Provincial Park is a lovely park in Eastern Ontario, only a short drive from Perth or Kingston. The trails are lovely, with easy walking with some designated safe for biking. Three main attractions are within the park; The Silver Queen Mine, the McParlan House, and the Lally Homestead. All have easy access trails with no additional entrance fees. The Silver Queen Mine is a mica and apatite mine. The entrance is gated. Guided tours are held during the peak summer months. The Lally Homestead and McParlan House are self-guided. Canoeing and kayaking is excellent. The main route starts at the main beach or boat launch and takes paddlers through Hoggs Bay, Big Rideau Lake, Noble Bay, Loon Lake and back to the starting point. There are two portages with easy walking. Swimming is excellent too at the main beach or even the hike-in beach. The Park Store is well equipped with essentials. The comfort stations are clean and have showers with ample hot water. There are coin-op washing machines on-site. Staff are super-friendly and welcoming. If you are a birder, you are in luck. In the campground you will see several Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, a variety of warblers and Scarlet Tanagers, even the Towhee can be found here. One can easily find the Grey Rat Snake too. We had an excellent 4 day vacation here!

The sites are spaced out great, ample room between most sites which is nice for privacy. The boat launch was perfect for setting off on your paddle board or kayak with access to Big Rideau Lake, Hoggs Bay, and also Nobles Bay. Nice hiking trails, the washrooms would benefit from more frequent cleaning as other campers don’t seem to respect the communal use but that’s an issue at most car camping sites. Overall would recommend camping here.

We took a Prolite Profil into Fallows campground, I'd recommend a 4x4 since there's one really steep hill that my Caravan almost didn't crest. Good thing the soil was dry 😬. Bring lots of deet bug repellent and check for ticks. On a clear night, you can faintly see the milky way; in early July, you'll need to stay up until after midnight to see it (look east). We also saw a deer just a couple of meters from our spot at night. Lots of other wildlife to observe! Also, the water at the beach glimmers because of the mica. Quite a sight to behold!

Loved the campsite! We visited in early fall last year, and the Silver Queen Mill was a fantastic addition that really enhanced the whole camping experience.

Was a great part to spend a night camping! We unfortunately got rained out, and we’re unable to do the cave tour, and I recommend you take a look at if your site has good drainage, or if it is downhill! Luckily, we woke up just before the rain started to hit, And packed up before our site was a tad bit flooded. With that being said, we really loved doing the trail the day before! We can’t wait to come back and get a more dry experience!
