Hi, TasteBuds here. A part of my tasting yummy foods is that I get to visit different places. Now, when I travel, I love the service @frances_smartmomstravel  provides. Fran is attentive and responsive, very professional, but super relatable. You tell her where you want to go, she finds multiple  venues, you pick the one you like and she does the rest. She literally takes the hassle out of my planning. Oh, and when you think it can't get better working with @frances_smartmomstravel, you find out  that her service is  at no cost to you!  So awesome, right?!  I've had her  plan 3 vacations so far, and I'm getting ready to book my 4th. So if you are thinking of going on a vacation , you should know, I tried, I'm now a repeat user of the service, and I recommend  @frances_smartmomstravel.  Enjoy some pictures from my last visit.Now you decide. #travel #vacation #yummy #foodie #dining #friendsandfood #brunch #lunch #dinner #shareyourplate #foodnetwork #ilovefood #tastebudschronicles18 #foodbuds #foodtasting #winetasting #nyfw #foodblog #foodblogger #healthyappetite #willworkforfood #foodporn #foodstagram #foodshare #foodforfoodies #oneontaeats #foodcoma#FFF #foodlover #foodfriendsandfamily#f3#lop

If you have the time and interest this is a pleasant and short look at several vineries in the area. Be aware however the several need advanced reservations and that their websites are difficult in doing just that, especially since you cannot do it by phone. Getting the Keuka trail passport offers a bit of savings, but doing more than one winery a day is tough, especially when coordinating reservations. Most of the wines a similar in taste; mild fruitiness and dry. The German style and varieties are better than most of the other. It is rare to find a good red, Steve Hill Red is the exception... delicious. Doing this once gives a good overview of finger lakes wineries.
Stephen G — Google review
The old saying she ain't what she used to be applies here. This used to be a fun interactive experience. We have been here several times in the past and always enjoyed it. Understand the wine is good. However (possibly) since co-vid they have clung onto the impersonal wine tasting experience. The group has to agree to which wine the are going to try. Most groups have a wide range of preferences so someone or everyone in the group will be stuck trying a wine completely out of their wheelhouse. They will bring out a small kraft of wine and the server leaves to let tasters figure it out. You are left with a fast food restaurant feeling here.

This is a nice, easy trail with a few waterfalls. The trail that starts near the railroad tracks is near standing water which has misquitos in the summer but otherwise very pretty.

Great experience, EXCEPT for....they don't tell you, you need to make reservations!! For $45, you show up at the last winery in your list & can't get your tasting because you DON'T have a reservation!! Ridiculous!!

CMAC, also known as the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center, is a popular indoor/outdoor theater located in Canandaigua, NY. It hosts big-name concerts, theater performances, and dance productions during the summer season. The venue offers a 15,000-seat capacity with both pavilion and lawn seating options overlooking the picturesque Canandaigua Lake. Visitors can enjoy live music under the stars while sipping on wine or other available beverages.
Great live music venue! Parking was $10. Staff was friendly and helpful! Drink prices are insanely high. $35 for one drink and a water. Lots of praying mantis and gnats flying around. Still a great night with a nice breeze off the lake! Sublime/Interrupters ❤️

This is one of my favorite places to see concerts. The hill on the south side is sloped a lot and we had to help my mom. Not incredibly clear what chair I was allowed to bring (I have a spinal disability and cannot sit in camp chairs). Switching between the grass and standing is usually just fine though. All in all, I'm always very happy with the sound quality no matter where you are (dome or all the way back by the Corona cabana.
Amy O — Google review
I just came back from the killers concert and i gotta say, the venue itself was nice, However crowd control was so bad and unorganized. I really thought i got a good spot on the lawn but security was just letting people stand on the walkway by the time the show was starting. It felt like they sold out more tickets than they should have because there was a point when people didn't seem to find a spot. It would be nice if they had staff directing foot traffic.

Ted Nugent popularized the phrase, "If it's too loud, you're too old." So take heed if you sit under the covered Amphitheater section. Also I find it amusing that people in the seated sections stand the entire concert. With your view blocked you will need comfortable shoes for standing during the evening. Consider the lawn area for a more comfortable experience.
David H — Google review
Love CMAC! Smooth entering and exiting and it feels clean, chill and safe. There are no bad seats! And I love that you can bring or rent a folding chair for the lawn. The rental chairs are $5 and the money goes to charity. Also there are places nearby to park for less than $45 if you get to the area early enough. Can’t say enough good things about this venue.
Megan H — Google review
Love CMAC. Saw Heart there on Friday. Opened by Todd Rundgren. Great seats, nice venue. Only complaint is that one cannot bring their own drinks, soda, etc. and if you buy a drink from the location, it still has to be poured into a cup.
Rjrnj1 — Google review
I LOVE CMAC. When there’s a concert on a warm, summer evening, it’s an incomparable place. I don’t like some of the crazy rules they have adopted (e.g. one can’t even bring a bottle of water in, and only allows one to bring in a single, clear plastic bag). There are metal detectors and security personnel, so that should be sufficient. I saw Heart and they were amazing. I like country music as much as the next person, but in recent years there have been far too many country artists and not enough pop and rock artists at CMAC. This was Heart’s first time here. I sure hope they will be asked to return!

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
The Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park features exotic plants and trees within its 50-acre formal gardens and arboretum. The property was originally purchased in 1863 by Frederick and Mary Thompson as a summer estate, which eventually grew to encompass 300 acres with the construction of a grand Queen Anne-style mansion. Visitors can explore the well-maintained grounds on guided tours, including the opportunity to view the stunning floral displays.
Really interesting story of this couple. The place was clean and really gave you the feel of early 1900’s. Wonderful place to take school aged kids. The gift store was just amazing with lots of things for anyone. Had a blast. Stayed for about 3 hours. Highly recommend the strawberry banana smoothie at the cafe!!! So delicious

This is such a beautiful park! It's pretty massive too! If you are ever looking for a park to go to and spend the day in Sonnenberg is it! I recently had taken Tyler and Ashley's post elopement photos at the Gardens and I love how their turned out! You have different types of gardens that make for stunning backdrops!

My wife, her grandma and I went for an hour and a half trip to Sonnenberg on a Saturday afternoon. They had a wedding scheduled and we were given this information when we arrive to buy our tickets. We decided it was worth it to pop in for a bit. The shuttle driver was a very nice man, who helped us with grandma’s walker to make sure it would ride to the mansion without any problems. Once there, we toured the downstairs and had just enough time to loop the upstairs, near the back gardens before it was time to go. It was my first time inside the mansion and it’s a truly stunning place! Kim was the tour guide in the mansion who chatted with us about the different rooms and different events that have happened at Sonnenberg over the years. We enjoyed seeing and taking photos of the historic home. I was left in awe so many times. As we waited for the shuttle to bring us back to the parking lot, we did a quick walk around the Four Seasons Garden. It’s so beautiful inside and out! We will definitely be back for a longer visit next time!

Wow wow wow! Even on its off season this place is so whimsical! It is like being transported to another place and time in the world. A great place to escape reality for a bit and just enjoy the luxury of the gardens and the beauty of the mansion. Seeing a simply glamorous way of life that is kept by the most adorable, sweetest volunteers. Everyone was incredible. This place is magic. Go there to seek peace, love and beauty.

We visited in September when most of the flowers were on the opposite end of looking beautiful and it was still amazing. Wonderful walking paths and just gorgeous scenery to look at all around. Staff were amazing as well and the golf cart drivers were always there offering a ride and the staff in the mansion itself were very knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions. Wonderful place!

I mean honestly I've been trying to finally visit for up to a year now. So glad I finally went! If you are to go, I'd definitely suggest going in the spring/summer to get the full experience of the foliage. I thought it would be more vibrant, covered in flowers, etc. But you can't really control the weather and how plants grow! Other than that, I spent about 3 hours there, and it was worth every second. Everything was so informative and the volunteers were so sweet and helpful. The Cafe was so cute! The food was delicious! Would 100% go again!

Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion in Canandaigua is one of the most beautiful venues I’ve ever photographed!! It’s tucked right in the Finger Lakes and feels like stepping into a historic estate.. the mansion, the gardens, the greenhouse paths… every part of it is so stunning! The Sonnenberg team was so kind and easy to work with, and the day just felt seamless from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about creating an amazing experience for their couples and guests. As a wedding photographer, I loved how much variety there was for portraits, the light, the colors, and the scenery were a dream! It’s one of those places that makes you fall in love with what you do all over again. I’d go back to Sonnenberg in a heartbeat!! Lindsey Robinson Photography | WNY Travel Wedding Photographer

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, located on the picturesque Keuka Lake, holds a significant place in Finger Lakes' wine history. Dr. Konstantin Frank, a viticulture Ph.D., revolutionized the region's wine industry by introducing European vinifera grapes in the late 1950s. This shift from hybrid grapes to vitis vinifera paved the way for Old World-style wines in the area.
My father and I had an incredible experience during our wine tasting at the Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery! There was a variety of types of wine included in the experience, and each one was truly delicious. The cheese board for two was incredible, and the guided pairing of the cheese board with the wine tasting made the experience that much better! The service was wonderful- we worked with Sue, who kept our glasses and our smiles full. Sue was extremely knowledgeable about the wine and the winery, and her passion for the history around Dr. Frank’s legacy is apparent. We tasted some of our new favorite wines AND cheeses, and we can’t wait to come back in the near future.

I absolutely love this winery! I have ordered wine in the past but this was my first time visiting the winery itself. Staff is so friendly and amazingly helpful. Great experience. Wine is absolutely delicious!! Purchased some new wines I haven't had before to take home and I joined the wine club. I can't wait to try some different wines I haven't had. So glad we finally make the trip. Probably one of the best wineries I have tried in the Finger Lakes. Definitely my favorite.♥️

DO THE 1886 EXPERIENCE. It was worth every penny and we can’t wait to do it again! It was the perfect amount of wine through the tour to try different types of wines. The tour itself was so informative and educational then you come back to the seating area to your small plate pairings with wine. It was organized, engaging, DELICIOUS and days later we still are raving about it. Can’t wait to do it again! Absolutely phenomenal 💗

We just recently visited the Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery during a weekend trip to Naples. Out of about 7 wineries, this was our best tasting experience and our favorite winery. My husband and I are both dry red wine drinkers but we really enjoyed just about everything we tried at the tasting. A favorite included the semi-dry Riesling. This is the only winery we purchased more than one bottle as we could not decide. We were traveling with our puppy, Hank, and our 4 children. We didn’t feel rushed and the staff all seemed to genuinely want us there. Beautiful views and patio! Wish we could have stayed longer! We’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful winery with kind staff and yummy charcuterie foods. Customer service was just amazing. At Eugenia’s Garden, there are many sitting areas (gazebo, swing chairs, picnic tables). For the seated wine tasting, there is an outdoor area balcony that overlooks the lake. There is also an indoor area but we did not sit there.

This is a beautiful winery during any season. The deck out front is especially has an especially beautiful view of Keuka Lake. If you want to do a tasting, book ahead of time. If not, Eugene's garden is open (heated tent) for flights and wine by the glass. Bring cash to tip since you cannot add tips to card transactions.

It looks smaller on the outside, definitely big on the inside. This Museum was awesome I could have easily spent several more hours looking and reading about the accomplishments of Glenn Curtiss. Before stepping into this Museum I had never heard of him before. I had only heard about the Wright brothers. All I can say is it's a must-see for people that are visiting the area.

The very best museum I have ever been in. Thanks to John Kucko Digital for show casing the museum. Had he not went and taken pictures I would not have known anything about it. I also went and found a grape pie which I had never heard of. But that's what I don't vacation.

Waterfalls
Grimes Glen Park is a picturesque hiking destination located in the Hi Tor Wildlife Management Area. The trail, while easy to follow, can be chilly due to the nearby stream, but rewards hikers with a leisurely walk through a mixed hardwood forest and stunning views of magnificent waterfalls. As one of the best hikes in the Finger Lakes region, the trail narrows as you progress and offers an immersive experience as you navigate around bends.
Pretty awesome place if you like natural waterfalls and stone formations. I have been visiting this park for 45 years and it never fails to rejuvenate my spirit and bring me closer to Nature. The trail to the first falls is somewhat easy, but you better be more adventurous or more experienced to go further than that. Lots of wildlife, both in the surrounding foliage and in the water. The layers of shale have cool fossils and plenty of geological history. Magical.
A.B. I — Google review
This type of scenery is one of the better arguments for going to the Finger Lakes (overall I honestly wasn't that impressed with the region) - they don't have my preferred mountain peaks like the Adirondacks but they do seem to have an awful lot of glens and waterfalls to look at. My cousin chums and I wandered over here on Labor Day to get in a few extra steps before beginning our wine tour debauchery. This didn't end up being much of a hike (which my Fitbit can attest to) as much as a lot of rock hopping and careful navigating, but the sights at the end made up for a lot. We did minimal research beforehand - this was an area recommended in our Airbnb guide on the coffee table, which just said this was a cool, waterfall-centric hike to experience. We accessed the park off Vine Street (using GPS but there was a lot of signage from Route 21 so I think there's a decent chance we could have located it without technology), crossing the cute little bridge just past the parking lot before heading up Grimes Creek. A decent chunk of our walk DID involve actual trails hugging the sides of the creek, but knowing what we know now? If you don't have decent hiking sneakers or water shoes, this might not be doable as you continue traversing the creek. One of my cousins had normal sandals and ended up bailing about 75% of the way down - we were fortunate in that the weather had been relatively dry, but if you're not used to navigating in a creek bed, this could be a little awkward/tough. I AM pretty accustomed to these types of adventures so my sneakers were dry at the end of this, but I have no idea if I'm in the minority on this or not. The optics are decent. I'm from North Jersey, which boasts Buttermilk Falls as its big waterfalls destination, but it's truly in the middle of nowhere and you don't have scenic creek shizzle accompanying it really; it's right next to the road and you can climb some stairs on the sides to look at it from platforms. This you really have to earn. From what I can tell, one of the larger waterfalls that you almost immediately stumble across is called Springstead Creek Falls, which is fine, but for my money the one at the end that doesn't seem to have a name was significantly cooler looking. It had a cave-like opening to the right, and was just overall a more impressive sight. It's debatable whether it's even really a requirement with this type of walk/hike, but the signage was pretty minimal once you got out of the parking lot area. I think it would have helped to have, if not trail blazes to ensure you were literally on the right/designated path, a sign or two denoting the specific waterfalls or how far you were from them. But arguably part of the appeal of this type of adventure is just stumbling across them - your mileage may vary. Worth a trip if you have the time; if it's been raining though within the past few days? Eh. Maybe bring some galoshes.

No fee. Picnic tables and rest rooms are available next to a nice sized parking lot. Restrooms are clean. The bridge has a brightly covered painted mural which offeres a welcome feature to the park. Waterfalls wildlife hiking as well as spotting wildlife stone formation and fossil findings are some of the features throughout the park. Its a photographers dream!

Great nature hike. About a half mile up a shallow river bed. 2 small falls. The bigger falls is at the end with a bigger wading area. Prepare to get wet. Bring shoes that can get wet. A lot of walking through shallow river bed. Across rocks. Beautiful area, great for kids.

Great scenery. Water was pretty low so really didn't get wet. Definitely crossed the creek back and forth multiple times.

This trail offers views of an ancient river, fossils are abundant throughout the path that leads to two unique unnamed Falls!!! Bring proper footwear and enjoy the views!

Short stroll back, plan to wear water shoes or footwear you don't mind getting wet. Beautiful in the foliage time of year.

This place is beautiful. The trail is nice enough that you can walk barefoot through most of it. Once it gets to be off the east trail, you can easily follow the creek to the waterfall, there's no need to take the steep trail, which is quite slippery when it's rained. The waterfalls are beautiful here and it's not busy. There are clean restrooms at the parking lot, too, which is a major plus! You can tell this park is well kept by how clean it is. It's a must when visiting Naples!

Stony Brook State Park

Mentioned on 
14 lists 
State park
Nature & Parks
Park
Stony Brook State Park, located near Dansville, New York, offers a picturesque natural setting with trails that wind through a scenic gorge featuring impressive rock formations. The park is home to three stunning waterfalls along the Gorge Trail, providing visitors with the opportunity to witness the beauty of nature up close. The East Rim Trail offers sweeping views of the rugged gorge, while the Gorge Trail allows for an immersive experience amid the cascading waterfalls and spectacular landscape.
One of my favorites near Rochester. The Gorge trail allows you to walk through the water or along side it leading to two waterfalls where you can swim. Beyond that, we went up the many stairs that led to the top and hiked through the woods to get back to the front near the parking lot. You get a view of the horizon and mostly trees, maybe about one mile long. Our group of kids ranging from 5 yo to 12 yo made it through, but there are a few more stairs even after the big one at the beginning (and the decline at the end near the lot). The Gorge path is obviously the most beautiful. It seems that the park frowns on swimming at the waterfalls because one of the employees was telling people to move along (could be they had chairs set up to stay). There is a natural pool at the beginning of the Gorge trail and swimming is allowed during hours where lifeguards are on duty. There are three different depths - deep end, 4ft, and shallow. There is a picnic area with many tables and grills and a playground near the two parking lots. There is also a shelter or two that you can rent. Apparently when it's at capacity, they do not allow any more cars in with exception to those who are staying at the camp grounds, which you can drive to the park or walk to the Gorge trail. Overall, a beautiful park and the campgrounds are great too. I love that we can get in the water and it's a doable hike for most people.
Jan N — Google review
I didn't get many great pictures because by the time I got to the West Rim trail it was night. It was a sight to see with being able to walk along side the waterfalls. Now for the elevation of 600 had me get a good workout in. Definitely moderate maybe a bit more with all the stairs, lol. Everyone at the campground was super friendly!

A beautiful Park. Took the walk up on the upper trail first. If you don't like stairs, this is not the trail for you. Took the gorge trail on the way back. Beautiful view of the water. Just gorgeous. Lots of small waterfalls.

It’s an amazing adventure and the views don’t stop coming!!! 3 big waterfalls smacked inside the Gorge Trail! Gorgeous views of small Cascades and of course the waterfalls!!! Plenty facilities to enjoy and go around with!!! Great for all ages and the swimming is fantastic!!! Last day for a swim is September 1/2025!

This trail is fun, and reminds me of Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca, NY. The main trail is technically easy and fun, but be mindful that the rim trail is entirely roots and unkempt stairs with no railings. It’s not ideal for kids. Overall, this is a short, 50-60 minute gorge that is well worth the visit.

A beautiful park with a trail with a few small waterfalls. It is under a mile long but has many steps and a few wet areas. Take the George trail (.75 miles) if you want to see the waterfalls.

Well kept restrooms for a state park. Good distance between bathrooms on trails as well. But you know as well as I - if you gotta go, you gotta go, and that's the woods. Beautiful gorge trail with serene east and west ridge trail as well. Absolutely love this place just for the hike, but there's picnic areas and camping as well.

Leonard Harrison State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Hiking area
This park encompasses the east rim of Pine Creek Gorge & offers hiking, camping, fishing & hunting.
My son and I camped three nights at Leonard Harrison, the more developed of the two State Parks on either side of the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. Definitely the better campground if your whole family isn’t into roughing it. Very well-maintained park with very friendly staff. Just ask & they’ll give you as much helpful information as you want. Bathrooms are modern (my wife would call the one at the campground adequate, although my son and I considered it luxurious) with hot water and showers, plus a separate dish washing sink, all thoroughly cleaned each morning. The visitors’ center is a worthwhile and fun stop with good info for experienced outdoorsmen and children.

Love what they did to the entrance, parking area, and visitor center since the last time we were here. The center was closed since we were there late in the day. Closed at 5pm. Plenty of parking on the upper and lower lots. Views of Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon)!were wonderful. Pictures are of the upper lot. Bathrooms in the upper parking lot and entrance way to the gorge (toward left of building). They are older but were clean. Worth the drive if in Wellsboro area.

One of our favorite spots in Northern Pennsylvania. This Tioga county grand Vista is absolutely amazing. As you look over the thousands of acres of State Park and watch the leaves blow up following the canyon draft, it’s absolutely amazing. with facilities for every need, lots of hiking trails, a visitor center with excellent bathrooms. This is one of our favorite places.

Beautiful area, there are tons of trails and the views go on for miles. It was a little hazy when we went so I felt like there wasn't as much perspective depth but we still loved it. Very accessible at some points and we will be back soon. Do a little research first to figure out where you want to start but the options are plentiful.

This is a free park so I can't be too upset with some of the changes they made. However the parking lot changes where they chop down all of the trees around the parking lot and change the layout of the parking lot and move all the parking a little bit further away from the park was in my honest opinion a poor decision. I don't know if there's new management there or what, but even the gift shop seems lesser and I'm not sure if there's even possible to get any kind of drinks or snacks up there. Every time I go I can't get anything to drink from like a booth. There used to be a wonderful food truck here that sold Maple related products and maple syrups, however the management here decided they did not want to renew the contract so that's not even an option anymore and to me that was kind of like one of the little highlights of this park. A couple years ago this park was absolutely amazing wonderful and perfect but now I feel like something else has changed, whether it be new management or a change in the times but this isn't what it used to be. There are some great well-maintained trails here especially the turkey trail and the overlook trail is pretty good as well. I feel like they need to cut back some of the trees that are up near the viewing platform so you can see more of the surrounding area.

Letchworth State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Letchworth State Park is a vast park that boasts of stunning waterfalls and cliffs. Spanning 66 miles, the park offers numerous hiking trails, river rafting, and other activities perfect for an enjoyable weekend trip. While some trails leading to the lower falls remain closed seasonally, there are still great hikes on the other side of the park that allow visitors to explore most of its grounds.
We only had a couple of hours to visit and we were not able to take in all the tremendous trails through the woods. However, we drove along the west side of the river and stopped off at a number of lookouts over this tremendous canyon. It’s a pretty spectacular place when you consider that most of the surrounding area is flat.
Dana L — Google review
The most stunning state park I've ever been to! The scale of Letchworth State Park is rare to see on the east coast. The waterfalls especially the upper and middle falls are absolutely stunning. When I saw the view with the upper falls and the bridge I thought it could not get better but then when I saw the middles falls my jaw dropped. What a surreal place. I walked the trails as well as drove about the road in the park. The park is very accessible and seeing the view points quite simple. I highly recommend you visiting Letchworth State Park!
George F — Google review
The waterfall is absolutely breathtaking, especially during peak fall. It doesn’t have to be a sunny day, even on rainy, misty, or foggy days, the falls take on a stunning, moody charm. The drive is quite long, so it’s a good idea to keep some snacks handy. The scenery makes a perfect backdrop for photography, and the entire drive through the park offers a variety of beautiful waterfalls and scenic views to enjoy.
Sherin J — Google review
We visited on a sunny day in October the first time and the waterfall’s were simply beautiful. The fall is the busiest season and ends 10/31 each year. During this time the gift shop, museum and restaurant close. But this year they decided to stay open a little longer because no snow. I went back on 11/08/2025 and visited the Natural Science Center. I wanted to visit museum and that’s when I learned it was closed. We learned so much about the Genesee River at the center and Matt was so very knowledgeable and kind. The source of the Genesee River is a spring in a hilltop on private land in Gold, Potter County, Pennsylvania. Path: From its beginning, it flows north, passing through the town of Ulysses in Potter County before crossing the border into New York. Landmarks: The river flows through New York, creating gorges and waterfalls at Letchworth State Park and three more in Rochester. I highly recommend visiting this park during September to truly enjoy all it has to offer! It’s simply breath taking!!

We visited Letchworth State Park on 10/22/2025. It was beautiful. We were able to see all of the falls. As seniors, we liked that the falls could be seen with just a short walk. We had a nice lunch at the concession stand. The facilities were clean and the park employees were helpful. This was a highlight of our fall foliage trip to New York. The pictures we took looked like postcard!

Letchworth State Park is truly a breathtaking place to visit. Often called the “Grand Canyon of the East,” it offers stunning views of waterfalls, cliffs, and the beautiful Genesee River gorge. The park is peaceful, clean, and perfect for hiking or just relaxing in nature. I especially loved the fall season there — the colorful leaves made the scenery absolutely magical. It’s a wonderful spot for anyone who enjoys nature, photography, or simply spending time outdoors.

18th-century carriage house turned paranormal research center, now offering ghost-hunting tours.
Every year around my birthday for the past couple years I choose an abanonded place to go tour on the east coast and my mom and I do just that 11/10 loved it here, so much to see, love the plaques to learn the history of the rooms, and loved listening to the video at the beginning.

giving a rating of 2 stars after my visit last night, the paranormal activity was great but the owner of the asylum was very rude. she took our flashlights and overcharges for her flashlights. 4$ water bottles while the place is extremely hot and humid in summer and she said she would have food and snacks and when we asked about it she said ”I was very busy yesterday so I didn’t feel like getting anything today sorry” and anytime you try to tell her about your experience or any activity she would just shot you down and say it didn’t happen. she was very negative the entire time and honestly ruined my mood the rest of the night. if you want to have a good time there try to avoid her. other than her it was great experience and her employees are very nice!

I went with my 3 daughters and had a decent experience. We went at the 12am-3am slot. We only had two experiences one in the Barbershop, they will tell you the story but my daughter's hair had a strand picked up, and another was when I was walking upstairs and I said goodbye to Roy. At the top of the stairs someone touched my hair. I sternly asked them to stop and was left alone. As long as you respect the rules and the people, living and dead, it's not scary. I however would love to go back and do a group tour with my kids without other guests. Unfortunately I fell like some of the experience was hindered for us with others around. I will add that it can take sometime to hear back from the owner with responses to questions, but it should be said she has a lot on her plate so be patient. Planned well in advance so you can ask those questions and she has time to answer. All in all we will be back and I will be bringing more of my family to enjoy the experience! Amazing part of history that should be experienced!

Property was pretty cool but the owner is a terrible person, and I unfortunately think that she will be the reason this place goes under. I thought I came prepared after reading the other reviews about her attitude. And I get that you need to be kind of strict when dealing with the public, but she took it too far. She had me dump out my purse and took the 3 old loose cough drops and 1oz. mini moisturizing hand sanitizer out of the bottom of my purse, the whole time treating me like I was a criminal for having them. Said I couldn’t have the hand sanitizer because I might drink it. So, I guess be prepared to dump your whole purse out and have the most random contents taken. Also, while we were signing our waivers Sharon was repeatedly and loudly belittling one of her elderly staff members (VOLUNTEER) in front of everyone, and then did it again later that night when we went back to the gift shop. Not a good look at all…shameful!! On top of that, I came into the gift shop choking and was barely able to squeak out, “is there any water in here?” She replied, “yes but you have to get in line,” as she was sitting on her butt right next to the water cooler. Made me wait (still loudly coughing) for several minutes while she helped other guests look at jewelry. Then when it was finally my turn she still wouldn’t hand me the water bottle until my card went through. With all of these negative reviews centering around her, you would think she’d have some self-awareness and adjust her behavior. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just stressed and having a bad day, but this seems to be a recurring theme. The rest of the staff was really friendly and helpful though, and you could tell that some of them were embarrassed by her behavior. Overall worth a one hour drive to see the historic building. But I definitely wouldn’t go back, and I wouldn’t recommend making a long road trip out to see it.

I attended the self-guided ghost tour on October 12, 2025, from 12 a.m. to 3 a.m., and it was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. After a quick check-in and an introductory video about the building’s history, we were free to explore almost the entire place on our own. Only a few rooms were off-limits for safety reasons. If you enjoy history and old architecture, this is definitely a place worth visiting. Whether or not you believe in ghosts is up to you; I experienced a few strange things, but they could easily be explained by the building’s age and natural sounds. Either way, it made for a fun and spooky night out. I’ve read some of the past reviews, and honestly, they couldn’t be further from the truth. The owner was wonderful, clearly passionate about the building and its history. Yes, there are rules, and yes, she checks guests before they enter, but that’s completely fair. It’s private property, and she takes her role as caretaker seriously. If you don’t like following rules, this isn’t the place for you. Personally, I appreciated that she’s a no-nonsense person who doesn’t tolerate disrespectful behaviour. With a property like this, you need structure to keep both the guests and the building safe. Some people seem to think that paying for an experience means they can do whatever they want, but that’s not how it works here and I respect that. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back again in the future.

Terrible experience . Started with them saying never received all the permission forms for my daughter and friends who were coming for her birthday tonight.Maybe there was a mixup up on someone's end that's fine . When we called, lady was very snobby and sounded stressed out . Said "good thing u called because I wasn't going to chase people around " After emailing a third time because they said they checked and never received our permission forms things were good. Finally got there after driving almost an hour and refused to let our whole entire group in because one of the adults had a water in their bag . Instead of not letting that person because they forgot they had a water they refused to let daughter and her friends and mother in because of that . So 8 people lost their money. Watched the worker remove things from groups before us and still let them go in .She must have been so stressed out that the time we got to the checkpoint said "that's it " and ruined daughters birthday . Offered no refunds . I dont recommend this place . Either get this woman some more help or have someone else do her job if she can't handle it . What a shame! LOST alot of money and ruined our 14 yr old s birthday celebration just because one of the adults didnt realize she had a water .

This is an amazing place with wonderful staff. Sharon is an amazing lady and seems truly passionate and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time and hope to come back for a private tour at some point. Edited to add: I bought a pair of dowsing rods and staff took the time to give me advice and pointers on how to use them. It was so considerate and I was very grateful and impressed. Go to RHA. You won’t regret it. There’s definitely spirits there and the staff really does top it all off.

Do not waste your money. Owner Sharon treats paying guests with contempt from the moment you arrive—berating people over vague, unwritten rules not listed anywhere on the website or forms. I would not recommend spending your money here. This was not the experience myself, and many other guests expected. I see other reviews here that have listed the same problems, even stating that it felt like you were walking into a prison, with Sharon being the warden. It is sad to know that despite previous negative reviews, the behavior towards paying guests (whose money keeps this place running) has not changed. When I went here recently, there were two different groups, one for the 4 hour session and one for the 6 hour session. While the website does say that public sessions can be busy, they should advertise exactly how many tickets are available so you know to expect at least 50 people if not more. Despite being in the group who only had four hours to explore, we were not let in until after the 6 hour group, losing almost 30 minutes of our time. While the website asks you to bring your smile and respect, do not expect that in return from Sharon. Rules are fine, but unwritten ones—never listed on the website or forms—should be explained calmly, not used as an excuse berate guests, and speak to them as if they are stupid for bringing in items that weren’t explicitly banned. For example, my group attempted to bring in a small laser pointer that could project a green grid. However, once Sharon saw that it was rechargeable via usb, she deemed it to contained a lithium battery that could catch fire and therefor not allowed, ignoring the lithium batteries everyone has in their phones. I have re-read all of the instructions on the website and forms that were signed and none of this was mentioned. This wasn’t the real problem however, rules are rules. But the way Sharon spoke down to people who were trying to bring in items that were not explicitly stated as not allowed was very disheartening, especially knowing that she relies on these guest to keep this place open.

My grandson had an amazing time walking through the small animal section. Everyone we encountered was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

What a neat place to visit. Very large store with all kinds of knickknacks and such. You could browse for about an hour and not see everything. Definitely a cool place to go on a Sunday or Saturday afternoon. Things you never know you needed you can buy there. You always end up buying something. It’s a real fun place for the whole family with kids stuff there as well everything is priced reasonably. It’s nestled in the small town of East Aurora. A lot is walkable from there. Enjoy.

The old school five and dime. You'll find things that you never knew existed and things that you haven't seen in years. Prices are decently reasonable and service is good. True old fashioned building adds charm to this landmark. Well worth the 2-hour drive for me. Like the ads used to say, follow 20A to East Aurora and look for the Vidler on the roof.

I’ve been here numerous times, every time I’m in Buffalo I head to East Aurora for Bar Bill wings and a blast from the past Fidlers. I love this store, I can spend an hour just pursuing the aisles.

A very interesting and amazing place to visit. Especially the drive out during fall. So many different items. Gorgeous snow globes. Candles, candy and toys. The people who work here are so friendly and helpful. You cannot be disappointed visiting Vidlers.

Great service! The lady at the other end of the store was able to check us out (it is actually a big store!) She was very kind. We explored all the toys they had there and all the smells at the candle/smells room. Lots of toys for kids there.
Daniel S — Google review
A HUGE 5 and dime, biggest in the world,I hear. They have everything from pots and pans to models and toys and candles and Buffalo Bills collectibles and candy and stuffed animals and the list goes on and on. There's an elevator that will hold two people in case you don't do stairs so well. Street entrance is to the second floor, entrance in the back is too the first floor. Plan to stay a while if you like to browse. Prices are a bit high for many items, but that's to be expected in a tourist attraction. I enjoyed my visit.

Hamburg Gaming

Casino
Casinos & Gambling
Hamburg Gaming is a casino with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Visitors appreciate the affordable food and beverage prices, as well as the clean and safe environment. The no-smoking policy inside the casino is also a plus, with a designated area for smokers. Employees have had positive experiences working for Delaware North Corp at Hamburg Gaming, finding everyone to be welcoming and friendly. Additionally, one visitor shared their excitement about winning $60 more than they came in with after having an enjoyable time at the casino.
Like Notre Dame Football, Hamburg Gaming Is Built on Tradition… and Winning.” Walking into Hamburg Gaming felt like walking out of the tunnel at Notre Dame Stadium — electric, full of promise, and just a little bit luck-of-the-Irish. Except instead of Marcus Freeman dialing up defensive schemes, it was me, hammering that slot machine like it owed me money — and friends, it paid. This place is a cathedral of clinks, flashing lights, and culinary miracles. The food? Let’s just say the chicken sandwich I devoured had more flavor than Penn State’s offensive playbook. The mozzarella sticks? Crispy on the outside, cheesy in the middle — just like Ohio State fans when the Buckeyes blow another big game. Now, I know some people say casinos are all about losing. That’s true — if you're wearing a scarlet and gray hoodie. But here? Hamburg Gaming is for winners. For champions. For people who believe in excellence, tradition, and maybe a little supernatural luck — aka the same people who believe in Notre Dame football. Marcus Freeman would be proud of my discipline at the slots. I showed poise, patience, and the strategic mindset of a man ready to beat Clemson on a Saturday night. I didn’t just play — I executed. I walked in with $40, walked out with enough cash to cover three stadium beers and a soft pretzel at an Irish home game (aka a small fortune). So if you’re looking for glitz, glamor, great eats, and a break from the mediocrity of Big Ten disappointment, come to Hamburg Gaming. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like it’s 1988, and Lou Holtz just handed you the keys to glory. GO IRISH. PLAY SLOTS. EAT CHICKEN. WIN MONEY.

Came early for dinner but didn't want the buffet so ordered from the bar. Bar staff is great but they were overwhelmed with drink and food orders. We ordered at 5:30 and waited over an hour for our food. Another table waited 2 hours. We spoke with a female manager about our experience. Her response was that the customers are very happy with the buffet. Unfortunately the regular bar patrons are not happy but that didn't seem to matter. We later spoke with Rob, he was extremely understanding, listened very patiently and did what he could to take care of one of the tables that still hadn't gotten their order after 2 hrs. He is an asset to Delaware North as well as the bar tender, Rich, who was also very helpful and did his best given the situation. This is a good example for how to handle a negative situation. Well done Rob and Rich!

Kinzua Bridge State Park

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
State park
Nature & Parks
Kinzua Bridge State Park boasts a stunning skywalk and observation deck located on the remaining towers of a historic railway bridge that spans over a gorge. This attraction is listed as a bucket list item for many, thanks to its breathtaking views and rich history. The visitor center is impressive, and the staff are friendly. Located in Pennsylvania, this state park offers visitors an opportunity to experience the area's fascinating past.
Kinzua Bridge is a really nice location to walk on top of the bridge and see some good views of nature. It is a great place to get some amazing photography of the colors changing in the trees if you go at the right time of year! There are also some hiking trails that you can explore that lead to the parts of the bridge that the tornado did some damage to. There is also a cool gift shop right beside the bridge. The people who work there really seem to take good care of the place.
M-L O — Google review
Enjoyed my visit to the Kinzua Bridge State Park a great deal. We had a good fall day. We visited the visitor center (excellent helpful staff) and walked along the bridge (that remains). We then walked a nearby trail loop before heading down to the valley floor and the wreckage caused by a F1 tornado in 2003. The track down to the valley floor was steep but we managed OK and was well worth it. The valley floor has a beautiful stream and it is interesting to get up close to the wreckage. A unique experience. The climb back up was hard but on reflection easier than expected; arguably easier than the walk down. Writing this review the next day I can confirm some soreness in leg muscles.

My passion lies in exploring historical antiquities and gaining insights into the past before these elements fade away. I often contemplate the experiences of individuals who achieved remarkable feats throughout history. The Kinzua Bridge, for example, is a testament to human triumph and is rich in historical significance. This bridge is truly a must-see destination, offering a spectacular view of the valley and an impressive height.

Maddog4x4 — Google review
If you haven’t been here what are you waiting for!? Stunning views and awesome for sunrise and sunsets. Plenty of walking trails and areas to just stand and admire Mother Nature. Walk out to the end of the observation deck and get a full view of the valley floor bed below both East and West. No matter what this is a wonderful place to visit. There are walking trails to check out the floor bed below. And little areas to enjoy your lunch or a snack. I do recommend wearing a hoodie or something a little warmer if you get cold easy during September months and beyond. (Always check the weather). 10/10 this needs to be on your destination stop.
Joshua K — Google review
The ride out here was very fun, I’m currently trying to ride around to all 10 of the PA wild locations as they are all very unique. The views here are incredible. I even got to watch a storm roll in. I would love to come back in the fall and hike the lower trail. The visitors center is very informative. I liked all the history behind this site. Even though the bridge is currently under some rehabilitation it’s hardly noticeable and you’re able to see everything.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Graycliff

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Lakeside summer estate designed by Frank Lloyd Wright offers historical & architectural tours.
Amazing experience seeing FLW’s artistry. Our guide was full of knowledge. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in Buffalo- hopefully the visitors center will be completed! FYI a reservation is needed to do the tour. Get your tickets online or call their number
A S — Google review
I have been been to a number of Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces around the NE including Falling Water and Polymath Park. I have to say, Graycliff was my least favorite project. First, our docent was mildly annoying but whatever, she was knowledgeable and probably works for free or nearly free. The grounds were under construction and had to park in the mud as there was no space. Porta potties on site, smelled and were leaning over. Gates and dust all over... in my option just fully close it and finish visitor center and do repairs on maintenance on HOUSE duriing downtime. The grounds and exterior elevations of the house are impressive but the interior is stoic and depressing. Boring, lacking any charm or impact just looked like any old cottage I could buy. Upstairs is easily the most drab, horrible string of spaces of any hour tour I paid for. Small, cramped and all the flair of a medium security prison. The grounds are in shambles, huge weeds and trees obscure any lake view they reference evey 5 mins. Overall, it appeared run down, shingles, paint, rot, warped wood... even FLW didn't care about his Graycliff renos after clients changed aspects.
Dave P — Google review
Mike C our tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. This Frank Lloyd Wright space is a little different than some of the other typical ones you may come across on tours, but just as viable and interesting historically as well as design aesthetic. Definitely must see for many Frank Lloyd Wright fan.
Michael M — Google review
For now, by appointment only, but they're building a new visitor's center over the next year, so that should be great! Wonderful how it is now though and the Docent was extremely nice and informative. Definitely worth the visit.
Patrick V — Google review
A must see for Frank Lloyd Wright fans. Sited on a beautiful lakeside lot, the house is currently mostly empty with a bare minimum of furniture to show the rooms’ potential. Many design details typical of FLW including custom windows, oak built-ins, and beautiful views from each room. Volunteers who clearly love this place offer guided tours, so reservations are a must. Though still in the throes of a multi-million dollar restoration, the grounds are exciting. There is no lake access. Definitely worth the drive from Buffalo.
Susan S — Google review
We had an amazing docent who was very knowledgeable about the property. I was more intrigued by the history of the property, its ownership and how it came to be, not that it was designed and built by a famous architect. The stories told by our docent made it come alive and I could feel the history and presence of tranquility that the owners achieved and must have felt when they enjoyed their summers on such a marvellous property. We will be back again and cannot wait to see the annual changes with the restoration efforts of dedicated volunteers and new visitor center next year!

Our tour guide, Marion, was a wealth of knowledge. Having seen the Martin House the day before, and knowing some background of the family, this was a natural next stop on our trip. What a delightful contrast, just 20 years or so after the completion of the Martin House. Shows the tastes of his wife, Isabelle, with the wonderful, light feeling. Although the visitor center was under construction, it didn't impact the tour. Wonderful visit!

Drake Well Museum & Park

Museum
Park
An 1859 oil well is the star of this museum documenting the birth of the modern petroleum industry.
This place is very cool. I stopped on a roadtrip to Erie. I was impressed with how well the structures and pathways were maintained. The signage and way finding was very helpful. The railroad tracks make for fun exploring and great photos. You can surely get your steps in at the Drake Well Museum & Park. Parking is ample.
Tom B — Google review
I can remember reading about Col Drake as a child, so when a road trip took us near the attraction, we chose to visit. My GPS took us through 25 minutes of dirt and gravel roads teaming with deer and wildlife with summer storms threatening. When we reached the park, we found a beautiful pastoral scene with nicely maintained grounds and buildings. Pieces of antiquated machinery litter the area. Entrance is thru the museum shop and adjacent restrooms. There are plentiful paper maps and guides as well as several large displays outside. We were pressed for time, so we went first to the recreation of the first well with fully operational steam driven pumps. The young man running the equipment was energetic and enthusiastic and did a very nice job. We then went to the Visitor Center and Museum. A lovely facility with beautifully curated artifacts and explanations. The volunteers were helpful throughout. There were enough hands-on exhibits to entertain young visitors. This was a great stop that would take 3-4 hours to do it justice. A few miles away, there is an associated historical site called "Pithole." A ghost town today, in its time it was at the heart of the world's transition to oil. And for the football fans, you will run across the name Heisman if you are careful.
Gary C — Google review
The outside portion of the museum is awesome. Lots of cool old oil field equipment to see. The inside is good, but it would have been neat if they had an old oil rig inside to crawl around and see the real ins and out. Definitely worth a visit.

I have been here a few times. It’s tucked away just outside of the main hub of Titusville. It’s inside of a gorgeous area also. So picturesque with oil creek along with trails and the tracks in the back drop. You start at the gift shop to enter and buy tickets to see the park with relics from Drakes original well. They still have it set up in a replica format I do believe and it even speed a little oil for show. It’s no longer in operation currently. The museum itself is super modern and clean. There is a ton of history on Drakes well and the oil book in general. Since the commercialization of oil started here, it makes sense to mark this area with a park and museum. It’s perfectly done in my opinion. The staff in all of the areas were so nice and very knowledgeable.

Amusement park offers roller coasters, kiddie rides, mini-golf, pony tours & nearby campgrounds.
What a wonderful time we had today at the pumpkin festival. It was very nostalgic for us. We both used to go there as kids with our families during company and family picnics. It's a little sad to see the state that some of the rides are in but after all of these years it's to be expected. A fun time had regardless.

Glad to see they reopened it! Water park is nice/updated....rides and buildings need some updating and work. Beach and boardwalk is cute. Looks just like an old street carnival. Don't expect big amusement park because that's not what this is. You have to be ready to step back in time....the rides are oldies but goodies. $18 all day pass...or $10 just for water park. Food prices range from about $3-$5 an item. Small food booths scattered throughout park. Roads and walkways need fixed and patched. Hotel looked interesting, didn't stay though. Definitely a decent inexpensive day trip.

One of the oldest amusement parks in the country. Quiet charm with great fun for the little ones and a great little water park to go with the lake. A Tiki bar on the beach to keep the adults "happy" too! Very inexpensive and a blast from the past!
Ricci C — Google review
This park is a throw back to the past. It has definitely seen better days. But if you like nostalgia this is the place to go. The old wooden roller coaster, the Blue Streak, is still in operation. As well as Tilt-a-Whirl. All the rides are like my childhood experience of the 1950's at Summit Beach in Akron, Ohio. But be aware the website shows it as open and it is NOT open due to Covid. Hopefully it will be open in 2021.

Conneaut Park is really shaping up to be an amazing place. The difference between the appearance of the rides last year vs this year is remarkable. They cleaned, re-paved, and repainted so much of the park. This park is really going to make a huge comeback and I'm truly excited to see it. We accidentally stumbled upon this park and have gone back every year since. Love it!
Kimi V — Google review
This 1892 park is in the midst of a reboot after long periods of dormancy and in terms of value it delivers. First of all, it is small. You will not go home aching after spending 8 hours dying in the heat. There is lots of shade under old trees. Parking is free, entering the park is free, the beach (on which alcohol is permitted) is free. There are two parts; a water park consisting of a lazy river, water slides, and pool with splash pad apparatuses and a amusement park section. A pass to the water park is $10 and an all ride pass is $10. On the second Sunday of the month, on which my visit fell, the ride pass is $5. There are only a handful of adult rides, including the 1938 Blue Streak wooden coaster, and so my wife and I did not get ride passes. The park is best suited for young families, offering an extensive kiddie land on which my 19-month old daughter was able to ride almost all of the rides as long as she was with her sister. I have never been to a park on which she could ride anything. In all, I spent a day with my wife and 2 children riding rides, swimming in the lake, and left having spent $5. My local pool is $10 to get in. Oh yes, and did I mention the beach and lake? Its beautiful. Overall, this park, which is essentially built into the town, is well worth a trip and practically asks you to give it money to continue its growth. It is also a great day trip spot for couples as the historic haunted Hotel Connecticut sits on the lake only a stones-throw away, lake sports are everywhere, and Meadville, in which resides Voodoo Brewing, is a short drive away. My only minor disappoint was the swim area, which is surrounded by a metal dock and really is a blow to the aesthetics of the lake. Other than that, I will be back soon.

To long to get on rides and get food 12 Aug 2018. Update 19 Aug 2022 on 12 Aug 2018 I took my husband to park for his birthday lines to get on rides and get food we're so long. We only got to ride 2 rides. Today I went up because their was suppose to be a rib feast at park. most of the park has been tore down. Even parking lot across the street is partly gone .now a Dollar General is now taking up half the parking lot. They are building new houses along the beach area where park use to be. The empty dirt areas is where rides and midway use to be. There even sign at front where entrance use to be saying keep out) . Where the tents are in pictures is where the water section use to be and big ferris wheel few other rides were. The following photos are from today 19 Aug 2022. ( They were having a rib feast in old park) pretty much no one was there probably because you can't see it from road there was no signs pointing to road you needed to go down to get to back of old park. At front of park from road the park has chain fence and 2 signs saying keep out . Road beside chain fence that goes back to back of park that is tore down and goes to the new house they are building there.you can no longer get to hotel from park they put up big chain link fence around most of old park. If it wasn't for the old parking lot sign you would never know there was park there.

The Holden Arboretum

Mentioned on

Arboretum
Outdoor Activities
The Holden Arboretum is a vast 3,600-acre horticultural sanctuary that features lakes, trails, cultivated gardens, and educational programs. It offers a diverse experience throughout the seasons with vibrant spring gardens, refreshing summer forest trails, colorful fall woodlands, and serene winter woods. Designated as an Important Bird Area by the Audubon Society and boasting over 20 miles of hiking trails, it is a paradise for bird watchers, hikers, gardeners, and nature enthusiasts.
I’ve always wanted to visit. So it was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and I went for it! Upon entering in Sperry Road, the view of the trees and land is very beautiful. The road winds around and it’s a picturesque drive to the main entrance. I didn’t realize they were having a concert, but the line went really fast. The workers at the booth entrance were very nice. He provided a map of the entire place. There’s gardens, walking/hiking trails, ponds, public restrooms, artwork, fields of flowers, trees, and bushes. They also offer a tram service too. There’s plenty of parking. There were people walking with their dogs, children, people having a picnic, It was very peaceful and just a wonderful experience. If you like flowers and plants or just want a cool place to visit, then the Holden Arboretum is the place.

I would recommend going at higher bloom or fall color time. The cost of admission was $21 per person (non-member). We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 2:00 in September. Since it closes at 5:00, the cost seemed high for 3 hours (admittedly, poor planning on our part). While it's a very nice arboretum with lots of places to visit and potentially see, we were not impressed with this particular season. Nothing was in full bloom (like the rhododendron garden, of course). Fall foliage also wasn't changing yet. The canopy walk was ok, not great. I thought it would be longer. The tower provides really good views, but due to thunder, it was shut down just as I got to the top (not their fault, it's a good thing to close during a storm). I would recommend making a day of it. There are lots of hiking trails with various natural habitats. They do offer a cart tours for an extra fee. Since many trails are a hike to get to, it would have been nice to have a shuttle to drop you off closer to some sights, especially for older visitors.
Michael A — Google review
You can do everything from a short stroll on a paved path to a full on hike in the woods to a tram tour here, and you’ll see gorgeous settings in all of them. Skeleton Grove is a wonderful addition to the already spectacular fall season, and it brings the crowds, which is wonderful to see but does require patience if you’re used to visiting at a less busy time. 100% worth the drive and price of admission (although membership is the best deal, and you get in free with your membership to other botanical gardens or conservatories, too!)
Megan R — Google review
Beautiful place with both cultivated gardens and hiking trails through wooded areas and meadows. Visitor Center is nice, with a cute gift shop and yummy grab-and-go food and drinks. Tram tours are available, and paths through the garden are paved. The Emergent Tower is very cool, with spectacular views over the Arboretum (on a clear day, there's a great view to Lake Erie). The Canopy Walk is fun, and the educational signs are interesting. Overall, this is a fantastic place to visit!
Linda B — Google review
Such a unique place! It's like going on a trail walk, but slightly supervised. Gardens and native plants galore! There are parts that are more "commerical" meaning they are more landscaped and the paths are paved and well labeled with signs. The tower and skywalk have attendants who monitor the number of people on them to ensure safety. But there are also miles of gardens and paths that aren't so busy and a little more rustic. In these places there are plenty of sweet little niches built in that you can sit on a bench and enjoy some moments of quiet contemplation. Honestly, there are SO MANY beautiful memorial benches all throughout the park. There are absolutely no lack of places to sit and read or picnic or just enjoy nature.

One of the best US arboretums based on my first visit’s impression. Variety of gardens, landscapes and features (canopy walk, Emergent Tower, etc) is stunning. It’s a pleasure to walk along numerous ponds and Corning Lake, but the best combination of gardens and pond for me is in layout of Butterfly Garden. Arboretum was created as a living memorial to Elizabeth Holden who died at the age of 20, daughter of mining magnate Albert Holden. The trust made sure that future arboretum had become a reality and was opened to public in 1937.

Loved camping here. One of my favorite places by far. Nice big sites and the views were spectacular. I got to see the sun come up while by a fire and enjoy Gods creation! The bathrooms were clean at all times and the showers were hot! We would definitely go back when in the area again! Oh- and did I mention the Halloween decorations? They were everywhere! Way cool!

I live nearby and spend a lot of my time on and around West Branch. There's something for everyone, fishing, boating, a beach for swimming and tons of parkin. I enjoy the good scenery for riding, there's a nice campground, dog park and even equestrian riding trails. If you want a place to kick back and enjoy nature this is a good place to be.

Good little spot to climb, lots of top anchors. Great for beginners and intermittent climbers. There's a few rappel anchors and anchor practice bolts on the top back wall. Very short walk from the parking area.

We liked our site, that said do your homework not every campsites is nice. Most are not level but some are decent. They do have activities and you are not far for outside the park fun. Nice restrooms and playground. I would go back but picky on my site.
Tess D — Google review
We are a little biased as it is our home park located 30 minutes away. There are some fhu sites scattered around and the rest are electric only. The park is an older park so you will have some narrow loops and tight corners with some ditches depending on your spot. Pay attention to pad lengths as there are several short pads in the park. There is a nice boat ramp in the campground. Hosts have several activities planned on weekends. Showerhouses are super nice. There is frisbee golf and archery as well. Lake access from campsites is limited as several lake front sites have drop offs down to the water. We have att and have good wifi signals to run our smart TVs.

We needed something different to do for the day. This was a huge hit with the kids (and adults!) We went on a Monday. Water was warm, beach was clean, not overly crowded, tables, bbq, restrooms, and spray offs were available. Stunning view! We will be adding this spot to our favorites for sure!

Beautiful and clean park! The sites for camping are really nice. The bath houses are really nice. The showers are in their own private rooms and there are sinks for washing dishes.

We went to some harness horse races with friends first and had a good time there. Then we went to the casino. We had a GREAT time. Had fun playing Buffalo Slots, which are my favorite. This facility is always clean. I am so glad the Buffet is finally reopened after the pandemic, we love it. Employees are very friendly, polite & helpful. Overall an excellent place.

We were at the MGM to see the band Chicago. They put on a great concert as always. The positives of the venue were that the room was more intimate compared to an arena, and the acoustics were good. However, the seating was metal foldout chairs linked together that didn't allow for much room with your neighbor. I was expecting better for the high ticket price. And, it's probably marketing, but the entrance into the theater inside the MGM was a long single line thru the casino floor. It was a Sunday night and maybe it's a different atmosphere at other times, but as the line made it thru the colorful and brightly lit machines, all I saw were older men and women slumped at their machines with little evidence that they were enjoying it. I'm not a gambler tho, maybe it's different other times; I'd like to think so anyway.

As a wedding photographer, Gervasi Vineyard in Canton is truly a dream venue. Every corner of the property offers a stunning backdrop, from the vineyard rows to the elegant villas, the Tuscan-inspired architecture, and the serene lakefront views. It’s one of those rare places where you don’t have to go far to find endless photo opportunities. I also want to highlight Maggie at the venue. She was an absolute dream to work with! Maggie made everything seamless, not only for the couple but also for us as vendors. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail helped the day flow perfectly, and that kind of support makes all the difference for capturing beautiful moments. If you’re considering Gervasi Vineyard for your wedding, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Gorgeous setting, incredible staff, and an unforgettable experience all around! I hope to return to this venue. in the future! - Mallory IG:LaurenAshleyStudios

We had a delightful experience at Gervasi Vineyard! We stopped here on the way from Kentucky to Cedar Point and it was such a great call. John Paul was especially helpful as we arrived, accommodating our early arrival and checking us in quickly so we could make our scheduled wine cave tour. The tasting and tour itself was super fun, the wine was delicious, the rooms were comfortable, and the views were spectacular!

My wife and I stayed at one of the villas for our anniversary. I was shocked at how nice everything was. We enjoyed the wine tasting, outside dining with live music, the bars with live music, the spa. The food and alcohol prices were very reasonable, and the service was very good. We would recommend Gervasi to anyone looking for a nice weekend getaway.

Beautiful water fall.very pretty.cool walking/hiking trails,but wear very comfortable ahoes,bring a walking stick,plenty of water and a sweat rag.Uneven walking paths.Could be a trip and fall hazard.lots of tree roots coming up from the ground,lots of rocks,steps,stairs.NOT RECOMMENDED for people with hip,leg,knee,ankle,foot and back problems! LOTS of walking.Wearing a hat with a visor or ball cap is recommended! If you love nature and being in the woods,this is the place for you,its beautiful! There are picnic tables to sit and have lunch,shady areas and clean bathrooms.PARKING is pretty rough during peak hours,like on Holidays and weekends.Plenty to see! Dogs are more than welcome but must be on a leash.So,have a good time and enjoy yourself.It will be fun and IS worth the trip!

Amazing waterfall. There are a few paths that take you near the Falls, one in front and one above. Neither one is a very long walk. Highly recommend checking this out if you visit the park. Parking is very limited so probably better to go early, I got lucky and someone was leaving when I was looking for a spot.

This is an absolutely beautiful place! We hiked the Brandywine loop with our 2 and 4 year old. It wasn't too difficult although with toddlers it did take over an hour. They loved the waterfall and all the stairs!

The falls were in full force today after the recent rains. Brandywine Falls are a hilight to visiting the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The falls gets crowded on weekends but there were not that many people on a Friday afternoon. It is a short hike to the falls. If you go to the lower viewing platform, you need to navigate two sets of stairs, about 32 steps each. Great views from both the top and lower platform.

It's a fun walk down and a looooong walk up. Plan for it. Took that bike path up thinking there would be less branches and roots and rocks to walk over but... up up up up up is not any easier. BTW... I'm in my 70's.

Nestled in the heart of Canton, Ohio, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a must-visit destination for any football enthusiast. This iconic venue not only celebrates the legends of professional American football but also chronicles its rich history. Since its inception in 1963, it has evolved from a modest two-room building into an impressive 82,307-square-foot facility that includes a GameDay Stadium and a state-of-the-art Cinemascope screen showcasing classic NFL films.
Went on a road trip and had the pleasure of visiting this place!!! What a great time! My boyfriend loved it!!! Learned a lot of very interesting facts about helmets and the progression of safety. It was super interesting!! The guy giving the demonstration was awesome!!! There were so many people working there full of football facts!! There is a fellow from England, I think, and he was hanging in the hall of heads. He is chock full of facts about the players. So great chatting with him! Had lunch in the cafe, great meal!!! So reasonably priced too!! We had a really wonderful time!!

Excellent experience even for the casual fan. The exhibits on the history of football and thr NFL were very well done. Pricey admissions, but worth it. Very little parking by 11:30 am. Buy your tickets online so you don't have to wait to get them at the ticket counter. Give yourself 2 hours for a pretty thorough walk through. More if you will read all the descriptions and watch all the videos.
Natalie S — Google review
The third time I have visited this over the course of many years, and one thing I can tell you that this Hall of Fame is organized and easy to go through. Just totally unbelievable all the facts and figures and stats that this place has. I hear they're going to be expanding again looks like I'll have to do another visit and then not too distant future. Just too much to talk about here so my suggestion is just go for a visit. They do give veteran discounts. Also I'm told that Tuesday is the best day to go as is the lightest day and tickets are half price.

Crossed this 9ff my Bucket List on 10.12.2025. Very comprehensive exits and displays regarding the history of football. The Player Bust and Super Bowls Rings sections are Outstanding, and the displays of footballs, helmets, cleats, jerseys, and other items from specific players and teams are Awesome. I was fortunate to meet Green Bay Psckers Legend Dave Robinson during my visit. Highly Recommend to all football fans and to anyone traveling through Canton, Ohio

My husband is NOT a football fan or even a sports fan but he even had fun here. It was so nice. It seemed as though everywhere we looked there was something special to see.

Great Senior discount on Tuesday! Not a huge fan of football but I absolutely loved learning more about it. The history really amazed me. So dis the GORGEOUS championship Superbowl rings. A must see. Interactive " you be the referee" make the call exhibit was super fun. Seeing all those heads of guys inducted into the Hall of Fame was humbling. So much to see so allow the full day to enjoy. I would definitely plan a second trip there. Bring a few fans with you!

The Akron Civic Theatre, a restored 1929 movie palace, offers a captivating experience for visitors. The theater's design is reminiscent of a Moorish castle and features Mediterranean decor, medieval carvings, European antiques, and Italian alabaster sculptures. One of its most enchanting aspects is the auditorium ceiling adorned with twinkling stars and moving projected clouds, creating an illusion of an outdoor performance under the night sky.
What a great venue! This is a very historic location and very well maintained. An awesomely ornate interior. We were here for a concert from Herman's Hermits Starring Peter Noone and enjoyed every minute. The staff were friendly and extremely accommodating.

Went for the Pink Floyd tribute band's charity concert for the Akron Children's Palliative Care Unit.. Great place. So much history there. Every single person that worked there was BEYOND nice and accommodating. We stopped on the main stairs case for a few pictures on our way out and a sweet lady offered to get one of all of us. She actually got like, 4 of them for me!!! It was super appreciated that she just came up and offered to do it for us!! The ushers were great, even the security at the doors were way nice. Totally can't say a bad thing about the place except maybe that it could have been a little cooler inside.. Bathrooms were very clean. They also have some super old furniture in the hallways that is really neat to see... Definitely would go back for another event. Thank you, Akron Civic Theatre!!!

Nice venue with a great sound system and cool decor. The stage can be seen from mostly any seat or section. Venue is a good size. The seats need to be updated to a more durable material. They were imbedded with years of lint so it made them look dirty. Bathrooms were large, clean and had a ton of stalls. Their is a parking garage right across the street. We saw a concert on Sunday and it was free to park in the garage. Quick and easy getting in and out of the venue. Staff was courteous and welcoming.

This is a really nice little zoo for the whole family. We had a great time. It is very well laid out. The walk is very easy, even though there are slight hills. I've been to quite a few big zoos but found animals here that I haven't seen before. The dinosaur animatronics were really cool. Some of the best I've seen. I definitely recommend this zoo if you're in the area.

I love this zoo! It’s very well laid out with plenty of room for the animals and the visitors. I enjoyed the 50% off Veteran discount. The prices are already reasonable. There were lots of school groups who were learning from the highly qualified zookeepers there. I was especially excited to see a red panda. The lions were also impressive. They had some beautiful primates as well.

Great little zoo, especially for young children. Stroller and wheelchair accessible but there is a decent sized hill to get to the bears. Takes about an hour and a half or so to get through whole zoo. If it's hot out, most animals will be inside or hiding so plan accordingly! Nice sized dining area. We went during their dinosaur exhibit!

It was a fun experience but they didn’t have the 3 major big animals that I was hoping to see. Which were the Bear,Tiger and lion and no pandas. Kind of disappointed in that so I probably won’t go again. This was my first time here in 15 years. I got some pretty good pictures of the smaller animals but honestly it wasn’t that worth it. It was ok

Visitors can enjoy house-baked Amish goods, seasonal produce, and handcrafted items while exploring the petting zoo with a variety of well-cared-for animals. The farm also offers unique experiences such as Amish buggy rides and horseback riding.
Great stop! Huge selection of healthy mums and pumpkins. Bakery counter line was long. Lots of offerings in the store such as soup starters, noodles, spices, fresh produce. Peach Cider slushy was surprisingly good. Separate building with wood and leather products. Worthwhile stop.

Me and my husband truly enjoyed a Saturday afternoon at the farm! We didn't get to do everything that we wanted to do because the lines in the market where so long and there were so many groceries to buy! The gift shop was very nice as well, I went on there for a leather belt and left with that and a purse 🤣 grab the family, enjoy the drive, and experience what farm life has in store for you!
L E — Google review
A great family oriented place especially for the kids to experience a visit with farm animals. Plenty of great food shopping for fresh meats, fruit, jams jellies candy, flowers and more. Hershbergers Farm offers some amazing and fresh food products and bakery items at fair prices. Always busy with loads of parking. they have a food trailer on site for breakfast or a burgers and more. The only continued disappointment with this place is the poor restroom facilities. You would expect with such a huge complex that handles thousands of people per year that the management with offer especially the older folks a better place to use than the current awful bathroom and the porta potties. So if you make a stop beware.... Wife and i visit 2x times per year for their great food items.
Greg S — Google review
We love everything about this farm! The bakery is amazing, the food you can buy, the fall decor like the pumpkins and other items are the icing on the cake. There are other activities you can do here as well. We have been on a buggy ride and the driver was amazing. We also did the pumpkin patch ride to pick our own pumpkins and it was really fun too. Our kids really enjoyed it. It’s always one of our main stops while we are visiting!

We took the whole crew out to Hershberger’s—kids, grandparents, and all—and had such a great time. This place is a perfect family stop if you're in the area. The petting zoo is the main attraction, and it did not disappoint. Our kids loved feeding the goats, petting the bunnies, and seeing the giant horse (Big Ben is no joke). It’s a great way for little ones to get up close with animals in a clean, safe, and fun environment. We didn’t eat while we were there, but we did pop into the market and picked up some fresh produce. Everything looked great, and the prices were reasonable. It’s got that classic, small-town charm you hope for in Amish Country—nothing fancy, just friendly people and quality goods. If you’re traveling with family, especially with grandparents in tow, this is a spot worth visiting. It’s relaxed, engaging for all ages, and full of those simple joys that make for great memories.
Ryan S — Google review
One of our favorite places to visit in Holmes County! There is an on-site bakery with lots of treats to purchase for $1. They also make popcorn in a kettle over an open fire, sell handmade leather goods produced on site, textiles and wooden toys. If you love farm animals, there are goats on the barn roof, large and small farm animals and even some exotic animals to see. It is run by Amish folk. They also have a great selection of bulk spices, grocery items, and some pies and produce. The country drive is worth every penny you’ll spend on fuel! Don’t miss this country gem!
Ashley J — Google review
If you want beautiful fresh produce, nice selection of pies and other goodies in an organized clean and well maintained store, then this is the store for you. Fresh smelling produce before you enter the store, like I've never seen. The Amish people know how to grow and sell their goods supremely well. They've got it down to an art. I can respect the time effort and diligence it takes to do the work they do. They do not skrimp on anything they do. The stores all over Amish country delight and amaze. There is so much to see. Also here are horse and buggy rides. I would like to try out if I get the chance to come here again. Also there is a petting zoo here.
