There is so much to offer anyone here. From races at Watkins Glen to great fishing in several lakes. From the Corning Glass Museum to quaint little towns like Hammodsport on Keuka Lake and the Windmill indoor and outdoor Market place on Saturdays all summer. One of our very favorite places to escape to.

Corning, New York. Love it!

Highly helpful people. Thanks so much!

“Breathtaking with Wine Added” When it comes to a combination of breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery and a multitude of wineries and breweries, there's no place like the Finger Lakes. It's a great place to vacation and tour, not only all of the finger lakes; but, also, if you're a wine or beer drinker, the A-plus wineries and breweries. If you're only coming...

Wonderful place to visit, especially as close to the glass museum as it can get without driving.

Great resource to maximize your time.. and budget.. regardless of limitations on either.

It's a good trip for so many reason

Great time a fun thing to do

Great views, fall colors at its peak. And no matter when you hike the gorge trail, it’s always wet and muddy so dress appropriately with hiking shoes. We ended up doing the gorge trail 3 times back and forth coz it’s so pretty. And then did the rim trail too taking the Jacob ladder 150-180 steps down to gorge trail again. Visiting here 10 years we felt there is a new construction happening. Infact the start of the gorge trail is blocked and there is a detour on the rim trail to get to the gorge trail currently. Parking lot is $10 day parking, which can be used in any other finger lakes state parks.

I traveled all the way from Canada just to see Watkins Glen State Park, and it was truly worth every mile. Visiting during the fall made it even more magical the vibrant colors of the leaves against the dark stone walls and cascading waterfalls created a scene straight out of a painting. Walking through the Gorge Trail felt peaceful and unreal at the same time. The crisp autumn air, the golden light, and the gentle sound of rushing water made it an experience I’ll never forget. Every corner was picture-perfect, yet no photo could capture how it felt to be there. Watkins Glen in fall is pure perfection calm, colorful, and full of life. I left with a heart full of gratitude and a deep wish to return again.

Start-to-end stunning views and modest trail length on the 1.5 mile Gorge Trail make this a perfect family hike with younger kids. We brought a group of eight with four children under 10 and everyone loved the experience. It took about an hour-and-a-half with plenty of photo and snack breaks. The Gorge Trail is mostly stone and well-maintained. We took the North Rim Trail back and it was a lot less crowded than the popular Gorge Trail. Lots of steps make for a vigorous climb at times, but it was all manageable for our 6-year-old and 7-year-old. The many waterfalls keep everyone motivated to push forward, and the rock walls make for incredible scenery throughout. One of the best hikes I’ve ever taken.

Came here camping with a friend over the summer and we had a great time. The gorge was beautiful and the walk was pretty nice, other than the last part of climbing all the stairs back up to the parking lot. The pool was nice to hang out in, but they only had one diving board open so there was always at least 3 people waiting to go on. The weekend we went was packed so we ended up with a campsite out in the open on the grass and no trees blocking our view of our neighbors so I suggest checking the campsite before going because we weren’t aware of that

This place doesn’t disappoint! Beautiful waterfalls/foliage and well-maintained. I would recommend hiking shoes because it does get a bit wet/slippery on some spots. Lots of steps, but still pretty easy. Takes 1-2 hours done leisurely. Many spots to take a breather or to relax and enjoy the scenery. I’d recommend doing early and a day after it rains is best.

Visited Watkins Glen State Park during peak fall season, and it was one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve had. The gorge trail is simply magical , waterfalls flowing through layered rock walls, colorful leaves carpeting the paths, and mist rising from the falls made it feel straight out of a postcard. The park was fairly busy, but completely worth it. The trails are well-maintained and easy to follow, though be ready for stairs (lots of them!). Every turn offers another photo-worthy spot. Parking was easy to find near the main entrance, and restrooms and picnic areas were clean. If you can, go early in the morning to beat the crowds and catch the sunlight filtering through the gorge, it’s unforgettable. A must-visit, especially during fall foliage season! 🍂🌊

Breathtaking views! The waterfalls, stone stairs, misty atmosphere, and light rain — what more could you ask for in an outdoorsy adventure? It does get busy, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you have balance issues like I do, I highly recommend bringing a walking stick. And if you’re not super physically fit, I’d suggest starting from the upper entrance and going down the stairs rather than climbing up — there are over 800 steps, and I know I couldn’t have managed them going the other way! We spent about three hours on the Gorge Trail, between walking, climbing stairs, and stopping often to soak in the scenery and take photos. The entire place feels almost magical — fairy-like, if you believe in that kind of thing. There’s even a spot that looks like a doorway; I called it the “door to the fairy realm.” This was truly an unforgettable experience and a must-do hiking adventure! And before you leave town, make sure to snap a photo at the phone booth — it’s a must-pic moment!

Beautiful and historic Cemetery. visitors there all the time lovely place to be, to walk to read and to just take in the beauty

Half the cemetery was not mowed or weeded. Memorial Day and the cemetery was disgraceful. Headstones had grass covering them. Very disappointing.

The Woodlawn Cemetery complex is actually two cemeteries. The larger of these is Woodlawn Cemetery, which is the final resting place of author, humorist, philosopher Samuel L. Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, Hal Roach Jr., American film pioneer and producer of the Our Gang series as well as many other films, and of Ernie Davis, first African-American winner of the Heisman Trophy. The second cemetery is Woodlawn National Cemetery, begun during the American Civil War as a burial ground for the nearly 3,000 Confederate prisoners who died at the Elmira Prison Camp. Many were buried by John J. Jones, and escaped slave and sexton of a local church.

This is a very well kept cemetery that has many famous people buried in it. They give tours and even Halloween tours in the fall. Great tours of grave sites that include Mark Twain. The famous people are listed below. Most notably Mark Twain and most of his wife's family. * Mark Twain author * Ernie Davis Heisman Trophy winner from Syracuse University * Hal Roach comedy film & television producer * John W. Jones ex-slave and sexton of Woodlawn National Cemetery * Jacob Sloat Fassett Congressman * Lucius Robinson, Governor of New York * John Arnot, Jr. Congressman, Mayor, Civil War Veteran, Businessman

The people that run this cemetery must hate the people of Elmira, the very city it is built in! They treat people that come to this place like we shouldn't be there. They get the most people to visit the cemetery in who knows how many years, and what do they do? They take out the reason the people were going there. Pokemon Go has been the biggest draw in for the cemetery, but because they did not want people in the cemetery walking around or just taking in the scenery while playing a game on their phone they remove EVERYTHING to do with the game. Shame on you Woodlawn! Elmira feels the same way about you!

My son went o visit his father's grave today and could barely find it. The area with the flat headstones was covered with grass and dirt. Isn't someone supposed to be taking care of this area also ?I know perpetual care was paid for. This is so sad !! Don't know who is supposed to be.mowing this area but they are definitely not doing there job!!!

Beautiful cemetery, where you can go take a decent walk and just get lost in the history of the area. Great place to take your dog for a walk but they don't really have a place to get rid of the waste.

This could be a very enjoyable place, I see they have a splash pad now. We often grab a sub from one of the local vendors and enjoy the atmosphere. I really feel the geese are overwhelming and should be removed, it is very difficult to walk and not step in geese droppings, totally disgusting, people we have spoke with feel the same about the geese and the mess they create. Some geese are very food aggressive as well, it really is a shame. The pavilions are dirty and unkempt, cigarette butts / trash cans overfull / picnic tables just dirty / grime and of course the geese gifts are present. I see others fishing not sure what they catch, they appear to be having a good time. Many out walking around the pond not sure the distance around. The picture is the best spot we could find that day free of geese gifts, although you can see some trash present under the table other spots much worse. So far it has not become a hangout for the homeless society. I am really not sure what could be done about the geese, the lack of maintenance and geese are the reason I gave it a 3 star instead of a higher rating. Edit: Another meatball sub day so I took more pictures and asked some folks about the fishing. Carp Bass Sunnys Catfish seem to be what most are catching.

Lovely place to walk with lots to do especially if you have kids. We go early to beat the heat and enjoy the scenery.

Great little park. They have rides for kids in the summer plus mini golf and paddle boats!! I love walking around the pond it's relaxing!

A nice little park to hang out at - enjoy some rides, mini golf, food, paddle boats .... ☺️

I enjoyed Eldridge Park as a child in the 70's, and even though it has changed since then, I'm glad to be able to take my grandchildren to Eldridge Park. The miniature golf course is beautiful and a great price. The handful of rides make for inexpensive fun. The carousel still has the retro brass ring chute. The bathrooms are clean. The staff are friendly. The walking paths albeit pleasantly scenic would be nicer if the goose population could be reduced.

Always so beautiful here. Lots of geese, so lots of geese poop but still a great little loop to walk or run. The playground is nice. They have rides, a splash pad, and mini golf in the summer. Great place to take kids.

Went to a very small craft fair. Was expecting more from the promotion. Mostly consumables without much craft or art. Most common thing I heard was complaints about the goose crap. It is nice to see a community park with rides and the carousel for very young but a bit more for the teens and preteens might be needed.

My visit to Glenora Winery was just okay. While the view of the lake was nice, it was partially blocked by the hotel/inn on the property, which took away from what could have been a beautiful setting. As for the wine, it was good, but considering the variety of wineries in the area, I’ve had better. The tasting experience left a lot to be desired. There was only one server handling the tastings, and they seemed to be rushing through everyone without offering much explanation about the wines. Having visited many wineries, from California to Italy, I’m familiar with how a tasting should feel, and this one just didn’t meet those expectations. Overall, while it wasn’t a bad experience, I expected more given the reputation of the area. There are definitely better options nearby.

It was my first time doing wine tasting and our server was so friendly and nice. We each did 5 different wine tasting and then we enjoyed glass of wine on the deck with a gorgeous view of the lake . I highly recommend this winery. 10/10

They had so many wines to choose from and the 5 we tasted were all good but the Blueberry was probably the best I have had anywhere! I would HIGHLY recommend getting this if you like sweet wines. The view of the lake was a bonus! It was amazing! The only reason I didn't give this winery a five was the girl that waited on us didn't have much of a personality as when she was doing her spiel about each wine she barely made eye contact with us and it was on to the next one.

My husband and I were able to do a wine tasting and educational class on glassware through the VIP experience offered through the Lakeside Trolley service. This is the oldest winery in the area and it was a beautiful place! The staff was so welcoming and friendly! We got to do a private experience where we learned the importance of glassware and how it either positively or negatively impacts wine! It was so informative and I highly recommend everyone doing it so they can learn about it too! Beautiful view of Seneca Lake too!

We loved it here! We stayed at the Inn and visited the winery. Highly recommend both! The inn was spacious & nice, with a great view from our balcony. At the winery, we love sweets & fruit wine, so it was perfect for us. Great covered patio to enjoy summer. We’d love to come back!

I for one love this place! I am not a dry wine person but my husband swears by their yellow taxi cab, I myself adore all of their fruit wines. Even if you don’t like wine, visit for a slushie, or to just look at the view. The view of the lake is immaculate. I also love that the lady at the tasting counter had a few mins of time and she went out of her way to find my size in one of the shirts I really liked. I will always come back here. 10/10 amazing!

Experienced quintessential Finger Lakes visit on Seneca Lake at Glenora wineries. Enjoyed a fantastic dinner meal at the Veraison’s restaurant. We always choose to sit on the deck to enjoy the view of the lake. started with a seafood chowder, and main course was halibut and the Ahi Tuna. Vegetable medley was fresh and shareable. save room for dessert. We had the pistachio cheesecake with a graham cracker crust ... won’t forget that. Server was excellent and had great sense of humor. Check the website for open/ closing days and times as they may close the restaurant for special events, such as weddings. Drive and park in front of the restaurant and your visit will be handicap accessible.

Wonderful place to relax. Beautiful views, very good wines for every taste and every budget. We come here every year and always enjoy it a lot.

Absolutely love this lake. Would recommend taking the family here. There's near by restaurants.

Nice little pier to sit and have dinner and drinks while overlooking Seneca lake. Visited this during LDW 2020 after finishing Watkins Glen State Park trail. This place is beautiful.

Beautiful Seneca lake in Wakin's Glen! Lots to do in quaint town or nearby with little shops, resturants, state park with waterfalls, hiking, boating, cruises, antiques, wineries, and race track!

A beautiful bike ride up Hwy 14. The hills were gradual and the wineries were about 2 miles apart.

Absolute beauty and serene place to be. A reasonable place to taste wine and take tours if you want. There are lots of wineries so you might end up getting confused which one to choose.

Really quiet awaiting summer racetrack traffic. Pretty & quaint 700ft lake has tourboats, kayak rentals, patio dining, nearby hotel, & Cardboard Regatta entries by June 10. Marina & Bar/restraunt and nearby wine tour pick ups.

Nice place to sit and relax on a beautiful day! Plenty of restaurants to choose from within walking distance. Nice little town with tons of history.

Great place to see Seneca Lake and take pictures in the afternoon as the sun sets over the water. there's a ferry ride you can take as well as several restaurants within walking distance. Watkins Glen State Park which is amazing is only about a mile away. Well worth the visit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful place to look out from. Wouldn't walk barefoot did see some needles on the ground near the parking area.

A lovely scenic overlook next to a small bar. The name is not arbitrary. The valley below was once home to an entire town of French loyalists in the wake of the French revolution. The town repatriated some years later and has since been completely converted to farmland. It's a nice view with interesting historical context.

A great scenic overlook and worth the stop. History with amazing views and wonder. There is also a place to eat or have a drink at this scenic pull off. Enjoy!

Absolutely absolutely gorgeous beautiful view! You can see so far and it's just gorgeous and you could maybe be lucky and see a bald eagle flying around! Definitely worth a stop

Great overlook of the whole valley and several mountains!

Nice pleace to stop and read about.

The site is beautiful around it there is a nice friendly bar on the property they serve food drinks not an alcoholic drinks and it's great people to be around

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.

First trip of the season. Time to get the garden ready, if it ever stops raining. It's hard to not smile surrounded by so many beautiful flowers and veggies.

Going back again for a third time today (in the rain) this Spring season. Beautiful flowers, perennials, and vegetable plants! Hanging baskets are healthy and lovely, too. Friendly staff, everything neatly organized, and prices clearly visible. Great place to decompress from work AND SHOP! Thank you, Iron Kettle!

This is a great local farm and greenhouse. Really nice animals that seem happy on display. The baby goats were super cute! Awesome gift shop. Plenty of plants available in the greenhouse. The staff was very helpful! We were finally able to find the seeds for giant pumpkins that we have been searching for.

This is a wonderful pumpkin farm and country store. There is a shop for homemade items, children rides, home decor, and of course homemade food. They take cash, cards, and e-payments. The parking is free and there is a petting zoo to boot.

Really nice experience! It was pretty busy, but the lines weren't too long, and there's a lot to do. The pumpkins were a little expensive for my taste, but they have a large variety. Lots of animals to look at and feed. Corn maze, haunted house, hay ride, etc. You name it, they have it. Good fresh baked food and drinks also. Very fun for the family.

It's ok, but it's really more the tradition of going and the hype people make it to be then actually being that great. They have a ton of stuff but everything is WAY over priced. We go every year , the kids enjoy looking at the "pumpkin people" (which is free) , the animals (which is free, except some quarters to feed them) and we usually do the corn maze and "spook barn". As mom I always make sure to get the traditional "watch me grow" picture. It's always super crowded. The line for tickets is always long. You need to know exactly how many tickets you need as you don't want to buy any extra at $1.25 per ticket. If you have the ability to tell your kids no and not do everything there is there and just pick 1 or 2 "pay" things then just enjoy the free things , as long as you don't mind crowds (and usually some mud) then it's a fun family place. Make sure you go between meals so you don't have to eat there and if you plan on eating there take cash and a lot of it. Also don't fall into the pumpkin farm trap. *If you get a *4 pumpkin at some place like Aldi BEFORE you go to the pumpkin farm the kids won't beg you for $12+ pumpkin (that's the same size) at the pumpkin farm.

This is a wonderful place to celebrate the fall season. There is a lot to do and see. It's a working farm, so there are many different farm animals you can feed and sometimes pet. They grow corn and pumpkins behind the main buildings and the hay ride takes you through the back of the farm to see the pumpkin patches. They setup a lot of fun activities during the fall, such as haunted houses, corn maze, obstacle course, several playground areas, and pumpkin sling throwing. All of these things are paid through buying tickets. Currently, in 2023, tickets are $1.25 each or $12 for 12. Wristbands for unlimited access are $15 when available and are the best choice for kids 13 and under. They post prices for each activity at the ticket booth so you can do the math based on what each person wants to do. They have many locations for food/snacks, and they have a country store in the main building. For a family of 4, I would expect to spend $100 if you limit the visit to rides and food. If you are buying pumpkins and other items in the country store, their prices are in the high end in the area. We go every year and love it for the experience. Its a family tradition for us.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Love AMC! Reclining seats, capability to live up “bar” between seats and make a “loveseat” for you and your companion. I did receive raw chicken tenders, and shortly thereafter a raw fried dessert. That was a bummer. Overpriced snacks, as theaters are apt to have. So pretty standard stuff.

Very clean, Crew are really nice :) love going there!

At AMC in the Town Square, I really do enjoy the comfortable seating and the powerful speakers. Ever since the Cinema Saver closed in Endicott, I now relay on AMC for all my movie. Just being able to recline and sit back takes the stress out of everyday life and gives me a chance to escape reality for a while which is nice. I don't really mind the prices of the concessions. AMC will continue to be my reliable source for entertaining movies.

Really enjoy watching movies in the comfortable reclining seat and they always have great movie props popcorn bins and drink containers!

The usual you'd expect from a chain movie theater. Usually clean, well staffed, and the pre-ordered food is always on time. This theater has made many upgrades over the years, all for the better and I hope they're able to keep it up!

Best chairs in the local theaters! They just need to be more strict about people talking all movie or being on their phones.

First time to AMC theaters and me and my family seen Final Destination BloodLines (highly recommend btw) and prices are kinda steep I the recliner seats are so comfy they are leather and have drink holders and I almost fell asleep in them also in this theater they have slush es and pretzels and hotdogs only complaint is the popcorn is dry and you have to add your own butter that isn’t even real butter it’s just like butter flavoring or something

This is a cute little zoo, but it could use some TLC. It’s on the smaller side—we spent about 45 minutes walking through and took our time. The animal selection was nice, though we did notice a strong smell around some of the enclosures. That might be because you can get closer to the animals here than at most zoos, which is both unique and surprising. I loved seeing the wolves, artic fox, red pandas, and I learned that porcupines can climb (who knew!?) It was also neat to see the peacocks full plumage open! Some areas of the grounds, like the garden statues, are a bit worn and could definitely use a refresh. That said, I really liked the little hidden shack along the walking path—it made for a cute photo op! The staff was friendly, there was no wait to get in, and the admission price is super reasonable. I think the zoo has a lot of potential to grow and probably just needs a bit more funding to really shine. I was even thinking a variety of animal encounters (even for an extra fee) might help with fundraising—but I get that it’s probably more complicated than it sounds. If you have kiddos, it’s definitely worth a quick visit!

It’s such a cute zoo with surprisingly good variety of animals! This is the first time I’ve seen sand cat and pallas cat. The enclosures are all nestled among trees, the wolf enclosure especially is very spacious. It seems like the viewing areas are also well planned, I could get good pictures of pretty much all the animals. Additional note for parents: the family bathrooms are quite spacious, which is a huge plus for taking kids there.

Not bad, have bunches of animals to explore. Not really that neat but it’s a fun place to spend the day specially if you have kids or as a date with beloved ones. Just get ready to take a mountain walk for a mile. A lot of the animals felt like they are very weak or not well fed however they have a few nice and unique animals as well.

Very nice zoo. Everything was clean and all the staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to see all the animals moving around. There is plenty of shade for boot days

This zoo was much smaller than I remembered. However it has a clear 1 mile path around it. We enjoyed the penguins and it does have a small snack shack.

It’s a small zoo, but with some cool animals. You get a closer look at some of the animal than you might at bigger zoos. It’s a fairly easy walk that can be done within an hour without rushing.

Hands down the best zoo experience we’ve ever had. We drove all the way from Toronto just to see the Pallas’s cats—my girlfriend’s absolute favorite. When we told the staff about our trip, they went above and beyond: they printed out a full fact sheet on the animal and even surprised us with a hand-painted artwork as a gift. Truly thoughtful and unforgettable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We went night skiing at Elk Mountain on the weekend, and overall, it was a solid experience. I’ve been skiing consistently since I was six, so I’d say I’m pretty experienced. The slopes were nice but definitely icy—not much they can do about that. I do wish more trails were open at night, and the lifts felt a little slow for the amount of mountain you’re gaining, especially with the number of people Elk Mountain attracts. Hopefully, that’s something they can improve in the future. Overall, factoring in service, trail conditions (within their control), and the overall experience, I’d give it a 4.6 out of 5.

This is one of my favorite ski places in PA, I come up from Philadelphia area as it's better than a lot of other mountains. Always has great conditions and not as crowded as some other places. Ticket prices are reasonable especially considering the size of the mountain, range of expert levels, and with fewer people you get more skiing in. My only complaint is I wish they had more trails open for night skiing. The night ticket isn't worth it, with only a few main trails open, and they start closing off other trails around 4:30, so get most of the skiing in during the day. Overall a great time though.

Great experience at Elk Mountain Ski Resort. Family friendly, price point very affordable, instructors are very good, staff professional and friendly. Lodge is well kept, food … mmm maybe I am used a different variety, but it was goo. Food and alcohol prices are very very good. Definitely coming back.

Such a family friendly, authentic place. Kind and helpful staff, food and drinks available for purchase but also space for picnics in the lodge (plus free drinking water and hot water for your own hot cocoa!). Slopes were groomed, lifts all operational. Hula hoops available for teaching new skiers on the beginner slope. Oh, and if the upper parking lot is full then a truck comes around to the lower lots to shuttle people right up to the slopes and back down at the end of the e day.

This is by far the best ski resort in PA. Value for money and they have good food.

If you want to get your elevation training in for trail running, this the place to go. Nice views from the top once you get up. Several black diamonds to challenge you legs and rebound meandering blue squares to run down and up. There’s a gravel road on back side roughly mile long you take to challenge your gravel and loose rocks running. Just a nice place to hike, march , and run in the summer.

We went for the Fall Festival. So fun. Very clean and the food wasn't bad. On the expensive side but good.

We visited both parks on the same day, and I recommend starting with the Zoo first. Buy your tickets there, as you’ll get a discount for the Safari. The Safari took about 30–45 minutes, depending on how often animals stopped us in search of food. Passing through different sections felt like going through a toll booth—only instead of attendants, curious animals were waiting to be fed. It was a very fun and interactive experience, but be careful—some animals will stand right in front of your car. The Zoo portion was okay, although most animals were either sleeping or hiding from the sun and heat. We still managed to see tigers, lions, and a variety of farm animals. Next time, I’d like to try the VIP experience for a closer look at the animals. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit! 😉

Very nice zoo. The walk though is easy and not very long. You do get alot more up close views of the animals that larger zoos dont offer. I highly recommend doing the safari. You use your own vehicle and have animals coming to say hi throughout the ride. It took us about 1 hrs to drive though. The animals will stick their heads in your car to feed. Get some cool selfies and give children a unique experience they'll remember forever. Buy the feed buckets. Its kind of expensive but makes the experience so much better:)

We went here with our local friends. We had a wonderful time! This place has such a wide variety of animals. Everything was clean and well maintained. The ability to pet and feed so many animals is an experience unlike any other. I do wish some of the enclosures had more going on for some of the animals as some seemed bored (pacing)... But every staff member we saw was caring and attentive.

Considering it is 20 minutes outside of Binghamton, this place is great. The Zoo itself is a good size, for sure, and it’s spacious, modernized, and relaxing. The layouts of the animal exhibits is well thought out, offering the chance to see most of the animals. The Preserve / car park is much larger than I expected, with major themed sections of the leisurely drive. Overall, the animals are very docile and friendly, with the chance to feed many of them.

I think I may have had more fun than my grand kids and they loved it. The animals were beautiful and to see them so close was amazing. There were white a few cars at the gate but everyone guess at their own pace and once inside we didn't really see any cars until the end

What a great experience. The animals are so well taken care of, the staff was friendly. We went to the zoo first and then the safari, and spent 3 hours between the 2. We will definitely be back.

Well worth the drive for our first visit. Both parks were well kept and very clean. You can clearly see how well the animals are taken care of. As a mom of two young ones I really appreciated the baby spots offered around the park that were cooled with AC and private/clean changing areas. Highly recommend visiting both parks, we did the walk through first and were given a discount for the drive through after.

My favorite place for plants and local produce. 🌷 Huge selection and fair prices. They have farm animals as well which are fun to visit but not applicable to me. I heard others raving about the donuts but I did not indulge this time around. This will be a regular spot for me especially during the spring and summer months.

This place has so much! I love when they run their flat sales! Their flowers are always so pretty.

Fruit and veggies always good. Rabbits amd chickens are not fed properly and do not have access to water. They have large breed fluffy puppies for sale all the time. These puppies are not being cared for properly. They are outside all day in the heat, have no water, are bloody, and have flies all over them.

Walked into the first room when we got there which houses chicks and bunnies, etc. and was instantly hitting the face with the smell of death (which given my profession I I am unfortunately very familiar with). The animals were lacking water, looks lethargic, and then when I looked around the corner I saw dead animals sitting in a bag with flies encompassing them. Comment was made and shrugged off that they have “fly traps”. I advised it was 100% rotting animals and was told they would look into it.

I look forward to going to this farm with my Dad every fall. Great produce. Beautiful area. Great prices! Completely worth the drive.

Extraordinary amount of fresh produce and it was all in great shape when we visited. The donuts are made on the spot and have an incredible gooey texture, one of the best I've ever had. The produce and cheeses and bagels are all local and the prices are as low as you'll find anywhere.

Always a great place for good variety of produce and flowers. Animals are fun to look at for the kids. I took these pictures while I was waiting for a child watching the animals before we did our shopping. We can always count on this place to have in season produce and some local produce.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ok.... I admit I was skeptical when we arrived here. Nearly didn't go in due to the disarray and lack of upkeep outside. My friends and I forged ahead since we drove over an hour to get there. What I can say is, what a wonderfully delightful time we would have missed if we didn't go in. The host is an adorable timid pleasant soul who is completely knowledgeable on everything she houses there. She gives you a fake bright red flower sprayed with passion fruit gatorade to attract the butterflies to you so that you can observe them up close. Please do not try to touch or catch them. I was lucky enough to have one land on my cheek and when it flew off, it's wings delicately grazed my lips. I felt as though I'd been kissed by God. She's done this ALL herself for the love she has for these creatures and to bring peoples awareness of the beauty they bring to our lives. If I had the means $$, I'd give this lady a million and have this place restored for her. She's does more for these creatures than she does for herself. She's living HER dream and how many of us can say that? My advice is just go not expecting much, and leave with a mind filled with amazement and a heart filled with awe. ❤

There are a lot of different and exotic animals and butterflies. The place could be in better condition but it seems to me that the older lady there is the only one there taking care of the place. It is one room but I have never been to a butterfly place that was more then that.

A beautiful gem in New York. The owner had to close down and reset everything, so there is a sense that things are still getting on their feet. The house is an amazing menagerie of butterflies, birds, and other animals. It's worth every penny to just sit and watch everything unfold in front of you. If you have small children, be aware that this isn't really a play area and you will need to supervise them.

The host was such a great and informative person! No butterflies until Mother’s day, but a lot of other magnificent birds, mammals and salamanders! Also, an adorable mudskipper!

Always peaceful to have birds and butterflies flying around while you enjoy watching them. The host let us feed a few of the birds blueberries and knew everything we asked her.

This place was amazing! I went during the low season (winter), and even then, it was incredible. There were so many birds, bunnies, and turtles. 😍

Was a nice place to bring our young daughter. Quite warm, though, so don't wear your jacket inside. Birds, turtles, toads, and butterflies roam free. Great opportunity for some cool close up photography. Best during the Summer.

Nice little place to stop for wine and a bite to eat. Edit: We recently returned and found the same friendly service but sadly they no longer offer food. Still worth stopping in.

We were doing the Cooperstown Beverage Trail and weren't sure whether it we should drive down to Bear Pond Winery. We decided to take a chance on it and were very glad we did. They're not just a wine stop and also have a small cafe with a various food options and small plate pairings. Our group really enjoyed the wine tree and small plates option since we were getting a bit hungry by that point. The staff was also very friendly. All in all, a great stop on the Cooperstown Beverage Trail.

A surprising spot with some great fruit wines. If you're in the area I highly suggest you check them out.

Setting is not very picturesque like other wineries. Large restaurant attached. Large selection of wines for tasting. Service is polite but not as warm/friendly as other wineries. Wines I tried were okay quality- characteristically sweet like most Upstate New York wines.

Really cool wine flights that you can pair with some small bites. Price was decent. Wines didn't blow me away however. Would recommend for a quick stop.

I did a wine tasting here and ended up buying three bottles of wine. The wine is very tasty and the staff is awesome! I would definitely come back again!

My boyfriend and I decided to check this place out on our day off. We are SO happy we chose this winery! The woman on duty took excellent care of us and wasn't pushy in the slightest. We ended up purchasing two bottles of wine that we had sampled in our flights. The food is great too! We loved the Brie and Jam. Thank you for your excellent service and we can't wait to stop by again in the future!

First came here on annual family vacations over 50 years ago, and while the town has changed a bit, Doubleday hasn’t. A must for every baseball fan and sitting and catching an amateur game should be on a fan’s bucket list. It’ll take you back… Good parking nearby and public restrooms are on site. 5 out of 5

Double day field is a great place to feel the history of baseball. We were lucky to see a game playing and it was fun. Especially watching it with the family. Parking fills up quick so you may have to search for a spot off of the property.

Arguably where it all began, old school baseball at its best. Tours are available, parking and bathrooms available. Lot of history to enjoy!

Pure enjoyment. What a treasure and happy we got to see the fieldm

A beautiful baseball diamond near the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Seems to always be open. Covered stands throughout. It is exactly where it belongs. ♿️

What an experience for parents and for the kids really nice place relaxing town

Came here after going to the hall of fame. This is a beautiful ballpark and you can feel the nostalgia. A college ball game was being played, we would have stayed for the entire game but we had to get back home.

We went to the Farm and Country Village Museum on a school trip, and it was a wonderful experience. The visit was both fun and educational. The staff were dressed in 1940s-style clothing and actually performed the kinds of jobs that would have been done back then, which really brought history to life. Our guide was very informative and engaging—explaining everything clearly and answering all our questions. We learned a lot about how people lived and worked in the 1940s. It was like stepping back in time! I would definitely recommend this place for anyone interested in history or looking for a meaningful and interactive learning experience.

Absolutely beautiful place! I just had my wedding here and it was perfect. Everyone was wonderful to work with. I came to here many times as a kid and while I didn't look around a ton this time, I look forward to coming back for a visit!

A nice look at past life in central New York. If you enjoy history and have time it’s worth a visit. The newer carousel has a wonderful story to share.

Great museum complex!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staf!!

Beautiful place, we went to see the Calvin and Hobbes art show, if your life hasent been enhanced by Calvin and Hobbes, your just missing out.

Actually such a cool experience. I was kinda like meh on the idea before coming BUT I left totally won over by the expertise of the artisans and how Committed they were to staying authentic! Definitely felt like going back in time. The broom maker and the tavern guide in particular were standouts for us. Definitely recommend going!

Wish more of the animals were out & the demonstrations were lacking, but we still had fun. I remember when I was in elementary school there were more oddities other than the Cardiff Giant.

What an awesome experience if you’re a baseball fanatic! So much history to see and more! I would expect to spend at least 1-2 hrs here. There is a 17 film they have at certain times you watch then walk around the exhibit. You can purchase different types of books from the library and then there is a huge area for the gift store with plenty of selection!

A great time if you are a fan of baseball and the history of how it came to be. They had a lot of exhibits dedicated to what you would expect. But also plenty dedicated to women in baseball, how other countries and cultures have contributed to the sport, and acknowledge the good and the bad that baseball has faced. Very interactive museum. All of the floors have bathrooms. There are stairs and escalators. Watch the movie they play. There are tours of the plaque room or you can wander on your own. Staff announce when these will happen. The staff are very helpful and if you have questions ask them. Plan to spend at least two hours or more here. They do not have their own lot for parking, but you can park at the Doubleday Field lot and walk down.

Definitely a bucket list visit! I was attending a conference in Syracuse and made the incredibly beautiful drive to Cooperstown and 99% of it didn't disappoint! I love seeing all the plaques, the displayed memorabilia was amazing and there was even game use memorabilia from this year! My only disappointment was how small and minimalistic the baseball broadcasters hall of fame display is. Honestly it's an embarrassment!

The museum looks huge from the outside, but was very small on the inside. Easy to navigate through and has everything that you’d expect as expected. My only suggestion is that they’d offer an individual or group tour to talk a little bit more about the museum and I’d pay extra for it. Went through the museum relatively quickly; their souvenir shop was pretty nice and surprisingly well priced! I wish they had an indoor restaurant or place to get drinks and a hotdog for nostalgia.

We stopped at the National Baseball Hall of Fame on our way to Bar Harbor, Maine. We camped at Glimmerglass State Park, which is highly recommend! The museum was pretty decent. My preference would have been for the design to have been the history of baseball in a more chronological order before splitting up varying exhibits. It just didnt flow. The exhibits themselves were great. My biggest criticism might be that you have to go back all the way to the beginning to go to the gift shop. Again, a flow problem. Fortunately, most of the actual town is a gift/souveneir shop.

If you are near Cooperstown, you have to come !!! All the players you have heard about all your life are here .. nearly 150 years of baseball in one building .. The biggest tip I can give you is to come on a Tuesday or Wednesday .. the crowds are so crazy on the weekends .. parking can be a bear to fine on the weekends also .. that said , the staff are so helpful and very nice . Any questions at all, they will try to find an answer.. the bathrooms can be a bit hard to fine, plus the handicap elevators were not working, but we used the employees' elevators. The people move fairly well and very respectful of each other .. no food or drink inside the hall for everyone safety.. we had a wonderful time to top off a great week ..

I finally made my pilgrimage and it lived up to my expectations. I visited in November, so there wasn't a crowd, but there also wasn't much to do it town. Perfect for a visit centered around the hall itself.

I visit the Fenimore Art Museum every so often, both for its permanent exhibits (my favorite is the Thaw Native American collection) and temporary exhibits. My last visit was to specifically see its Women Impressionists exhibit and exhibit of powerful, mostly black-and-white, photographs. Both were brilliant and informative. The museum is in a beautiful location in Cooperstown, New York, and one can walk down the sweeping back lawn to Otsego Lake.

What a stunning place! My partner and I had the most beautiful late summer day exploring the collection and the property - we even met a lovely woman who told us all about the history of the land down at the Mohawk bark house. Pro tip - walk down to the lake, look left and check out the replica bark house hiding along the waters edge.

Absolutely beautiful museum! I just had my wedding here and it was perfect. Everyone was wonderful to wok with. While I didn't look around the museum a ton, I look forward to coming back for a visit!!

We recently returned after a long absence when we were in the vicinity. The Fenimore Art Museum was once well known for its displays of American folk art, and still shows several rooms with folk art paintings and objects. More recently, their collection has evidently moved in other directions, purchasing traditional "American" academic art, apparently funded by the Thaws, whose art philanthropy has been in evidence at the Met and Morgan in NYC for some time. Unlike many of the works in NYC institutions that were once part of the Thaws' own carefully assembled collections, the American works in Cooperstown were apparently only bought with their money and are of inconsistent quality. That growth, combined with unrelated special exhibitions on multiple levels, makes a visit a haphazard time. A couple of summer 2025 exhibitions featured an extensive displays of American photography, while another showcased paintings and works on paper by impressionists Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot. If we hadn't read about it on their website in advance, we would have likely missed that awkwardly wedged into a dark lower-level room of American Indian art was a model of the truss work at Notre-Dame Paris which was recently restored after a terrible fire, and that although not visible from the museum itself, out on the beautiful rear lakeside lawn was actually a towering replica of a truss. While it is always nice to encounter unexpected art treasures, the overall Fenimore experience was not consistent, and despite picking-up and consulting their map, we may have missed other installations we would have enjoyed. We were fortunate to find one of the few remaining parking spots in front of the Museum. We didn't spend time in the gift shop, but they have a simple cafe run by a bakery a few towns over from which we enjoyed a sandwich and slice of cake. The Fenimore is across the street from a farm museum and adjacent to a golf course, which combine to make for a busy approach and exit.

This is a wonderful small museum. Outstanding American folk art and photography collections. Also, museum has added to American painting collection.

This is a small but mighty museum with art and history from ancient to modern Native American and folk artists and impressionists from the 17th to 20th centuries. Beautiful grounds on the lake

Pwe went for the Calvin and Hobbes exhibit and lecture. So many laughs! Seeing some of my favorite comic strip as part of the exhibit was great!

Clean facilities, nice boat (we were on the Lil’ Diamond II). The audio was very informative— split between a prerecorded tape and live narration from the captain. 90 minute tour, great to be out on the water and saw lots of different birds! Even a heron! On the way back the captain even let the kiddos drive the boat! It was a great time had by all. We were a party of 6 and never felt squished.

I remember learning the song 🎶 "I've got a mule her name is Sal...15 miles on the Erie Canal." I not only wanted to SEE this part of American 🇺🇸 history, but EXPERIENCE it as well. The Erie Canal guided tour boat ride was EXCEPTIONAL! Captain Mike was fantastic. My favorite part was actually getting to pass through Lock 18. It was amazing to see how all of the lock system works. This was the highlight of our trip to Herkimer!

We cruised Tuesday Sept 2. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was so clean and seating was comfortable. I highly recommend this tour for every member of your family. We can’t wait to take our grandson.

Certainly a high 5 star rating for the excellent tour and clear and interesting descriptions / explanation of the Erie Canal’s history while cruising along. Since learning about the Erie Canal in grammar school many years ago, it has been on my bucket list to actually experience it and go through one of the locks. I finally got to do it and I highly recommend it.

Aside from long drive, everything was very good. Everyone was friendly. Everything was clean. The cruise was educational, and the scenery was beautiful. The adjoining restaurant was very good. For all those to who are less inclined to appreciate this country, go here and educate yourself about what it is that makes America the best place in the World. Meet some wonderful people who simply want to do well and be well.

Had a wonderful cruise early in September. Weather was beautiful. The captains (we had two!) were fabulous as was the history provided to us on the Canal and local impact. My 11 year old grandson loved it too. Win win!

A beautiful excursion with Captain Mike and Kelly. I brought along friends and grandchildren for this enlightening and educational tour. Everyone had a great experience and I was happy to see that refreshments were at a nominal fee since we had six snackers with us. Mike even gave the kids an opportunity to take the helm for photo ops. Gems along the Mohawk store was also a gem for sure, we really had a wonderful afternoon. Thank-you and enjoy the rest of the season.

Plattekill Mountain is a great family owned and operated ski resort. They have some good steeps, tree runs, and long winding cruisers. Mountain access is served by one triple and one double chair. Classic lodge with a great fireplace, cafeteria, n pro shop on the lower level. The bar is upstairs. I go there for the Standing Sideways Plattekill Takeover. A fundraising event for the Live Like Brent Foundation. Snowboards n snow skates only. Look forward to it every year.

Small mountain with a big family feel. We went tubing and the staff was amazing. The hills were well groomed and the whole experience was excellent! We went to the 10:30 session and it wasn’t super crowded which was amazing. We got to go down as much as we wanted. When we finished, we went into the lodge and sat next to a roaring wood fire to thaw out. Definitely will be back!

We have enjoyed skiing and snowboarding at Plattekill Mountain, a small independent ski center reminiscent of the many small ski centers that we used to ski at in the 70’s-80’s. There are not too many places like this that are still left and we like to support these places. There is a good variety of slopes for all levels and they have very good snow making and trail grooming operation. We ski during the week, we have never had to wait in line for the two chair lifts that operate smoothly and reliably. Their lift ticket and equipment rentals are priced reasonably compared to some of the other larger ski centers in the area.

I recently visited Plattekill Mountain Ski Resort on their opening day with a group of 8 girlfriends, and it was such a memorable experience! The snow was still being made, but that didn’t dampen our fun one bit. One of my friends took a snowboarding lesson, while three of us decided to try skiing. Jeff at the rentals was a superstar—he was incredibly helpful, even assisting us in getting our gear on properly. His friendly and patient demeanor set a positive tone for the day. As we were finding our way around, we bumped into someone named Shawn. While it didn’t seem like he was an employee (no official uniform), he went out of his way to show us around and make our visit so enjoyable. Shawn seemed to know everyone at the resort and gave us invaluable skiing tips. He truly was the highlight of our trip! For the girls who preferred a more relaxed vibe, the bar became their hangout spot. The drinks were fantastic and surprisingly inexpensive—definitely a win! To top off our day, two of us ended up needing to be brought down the mountain by rescue, which turned out to be another highlight of the trip. We laughed the entire way down, turning what could have been a mishap into a hilarious memory. Overall, Plattekill Mountain was so much fun! The combination of helpful staff, friendly people, great drinks, and plenty of laughs made for an unforgettable day. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return! One word of advice: avoid making errors when purchasing tickets online unless you're certain of your plans. There's a fee to make any changes, which could catch you off guard. Choose carefully to save yourself paying extra fees. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plattekill lives up to all of the great reviews. Our day on the mountain was fantastic. The terrain offered something for everyone — steeps, groomers, glades, and switchbacks. Some jumps, knuckles, and side hits too. Along with some really fun little runs through the trees. Also, given the recent weather, the snow crew did an amazing job. Only two negatives: (1) a good chunk of the mountain was closed on our day there, but even with only 24 trails, it was still so much fun. (2) No terrain park - the features were not installed but off to the side of the listed terrain park run. Per one frequent visitor, it wasn’t set up at all this season. All in, it was a great day despite those two little disappointments. The staff were all super friendly and the mountain truly offers an incredible experience. Oh…and best part, no lines on Saturday! It also has a really festive pub. We had lunch there and it was lively and delicious too. Do me a favor if you’re reading this — only tell your close friends and loved ones about Platty. Let’s all agree not to ruin a really good thing.

When other mountains in the Catskills are either charging an arm-and-a-leg or are sold out, Plattekill holds it down! It's quickly becoming my favorite mountain in the Catskills to ski at, and love how they keep it down to Earth. Even on a "busy" day, you are still within a few minutes walk from the lodge from the parking lots. Lift lines are at most a few minutes long, and you never have to worry about clogged up trails. On a recent day, after chasing a snow storm up the night before, my friend and I enjoyed an epic day of powder skiing at Plattekill. It begs to be explored, with so much interesting terrain and features to shred, it's a mountain with something to offer everyone from beginners to experts. Keep those tips up!

This is my family’s favorite mountain. Small enough so that nobody gets lost. There are trails for EVERY ability. Everyone is so positive, happy and courteous. I feel like my mood is always better when I’m there. The best part, even on the busiest days, there are no lines more than 2 minutes for the lifts. The lodge gets busy during lunchtime, but there is always enough room. The lodge is great, the fire inside is always roaring during the winter and the bar has great cocktails. Their ski school, headed by Ralph (who is a gentleman) is always accommodating. They take their time to teach every person, whether it’s on a group or personal lessons. My kids LOVE the junior ski program and are thinking about the race program. They are excited every weekend to get up (EARLY) and go. All of this at prices less than the big mountains around here. It’s totally worth the 2 hour drive for us each weekend. Can’t wait for the weekends here!
