NEWARK: Branch Brook Park is a true gem, renowned for its breathtaking springtime cherry blossoms and celebrated as the nation’s first county park open to the public. Spanning over 360 acres, its winding paths are perfect for a scenic stroll with your leashed pup. We were lucky to visit during their vibrant Diwali festival, a joyful celebration of Indian culture filled with color and community. Throughout the year, the park hosts a variety of events, so keep an eye out for seasonal happenings. Beyond the blossoms, you will find a dog park, playgrounds, sports courts, public art installations, and plenty of open space to explore. Fun fact: Branch Brook Park boasts the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in any U.S. Park and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so you are walking through history as well as beauty. For extended adventures, the 36-mile Lenape Trail connects Branch Brook to other parks across neighboring towns. With multiple entrances and parking areas, it is easy to find your way in. We recommend starting at the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center, it is a great launch point for your visit!

I have been walking the 2 Mile Loop & the Lake area 5 days a week for over a year. It's lovely and well kept. Some images from the past month...

Visited Branch Brook Park on April 19 during Easter weekend and had such a great time. There was an egg hunt for kids and they were giving out free hot dogs which was a really nice surprise. Most of the cherry blossoms had already fallen but it was still really pretty. When the wind blew and petals floated down it felt super peaceful and beautiful. There’s a fun playground for kids and a welcome center nearby so restrooms weren’t an issue. It’s a great spot for a family day out and we’d love to visit again.

Branch Brook Park Review Branch Brook Park is a beautiful place to spend the day, whether you're walking, biking, or fishing. I visited during cherry blossom season, which was absolutely stunning. Even on a Wednesday afternoon, the park was quite crowded—especially around the paved paths—so biking there was a bit tricky. However, the park is huge, and if you have a mountain bike, there are plenty of areas to enjoy a peaceful ride away from the crowds. There’s ample parking, and despite spending a good amount of time there, we only saw a fraction of what the park has to offer. One of the highlights is that Branch Brook Park has the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the country. It’s truly a sight to see. The park was designed by the Olmsted Brothers, the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, the renowned landscape architect who designed Central Park. Their vision and attention to natural beauty really shine through in every corner of the park.

Only went to the dog park and it was nice. 1 area for large dogs and 1 for small. Really nice that everyone abided by the size of their dog. My dog was comfortable and at ease. Loved it.

I'm a tattoo artist and today I decided to breathe fresh air and this place is really amazing. Enjoy being in that place, very clean nice and safe. I will leave my instagram for those who want a tattoo @Hendritattoo

I don't know that I've ever posted a review or pictures from here, but it is one of my favorite places, and I go often. The bathrooms are easy to find if you use the interactive map from their website. The least busy time to go is early morning, at least before noon. The busiest time is during the Cherry Blossom blooming. That is the time of the pictures I posted. They are beautiful but I do wish more people do not know about this park. 🧠🤯FUN FACTS: Essex County Branch Brook Park has the largest and most varied collection of Japanese Flowering Cherry Blossom trees in the United States; with 5,300 in 18 varieties. 🌸 It's that time of year and I was blessed to be able to visit one of the largest displays of cherry blossoms! They also have a Webcam setup that you can watch online and see if they are still blooming or to just get a preview. Nothing beats being there in person

The catholic cathedral of Newark Arch Diocese. It is a huge church and it has many  beautiful stained glass windows. Many stone and marbles work inside and it has a very imposing structure both inside and out. It is a minor Basilica as well. The ornamental doors are magnificent.

A family friend had a mass said here for my mom (she passed away 3/16/25) at 5pm Saturday mass, 8/23/25. It was BEYOND beautiful! I grew up in Kearny and had never been to the basilica. I loved it so much that I decided to have two masses said for my mom every year around the anniversary of her death and her birthday. This brings me to why I’m doing this review. I called the office to arrange the masses and had the loveliest conversation with Darlene V. What an angel this woman is! She was so helpful, kind and listened while I talked about how much we loved the mass and how I missed my mom. She was so sincere and sweet. It solidified for me what a sacred church the basilica is! Thank you, Darlene! I hope the church knows what an angel they have in their office. 💕🙏🧘🏻‍♀️ talk to you in September. Pam

What a stunning holy ground. It was a beautiful morning bidding farewell to my friend’s mum, and also my first time at the renowned Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. What I thought would be a heavy, mourning heart turned into a moment of awe and quiet peace. The church is the most breathtaking I have ever seen, with its towering arches, intricate stained glass, and a presence that fills you with both reverence and calm.

The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark is truly breathtaking — a masterpiece of architecture and a place that feels timeless. From the moment you approach its towering spires and intricate stone carvings, you realize you’re standing before one of the most stunning cathedrals in the United States. The interior is even more inspiring. The stained glass windows flood the space with colorful light, and the soaring vaulted ceilings create a sense of peace and awe. Every detail, from the marble altars to the carved wood and mosaics, reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and devotion. Whether you’re religious or simply appreciate art, architecture, and history, this cathedral is worth a visit. The atmosphere is calm and spiritual, offering a quiet retreat from the city’s noise. The organ and choir performances are also world-class — the acoustics make every note resonate beautifully. It’s hard to believe such a magnificent European-style cathedral stands right here in Newark. The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart is not just a church — it’s an experience of beauty, serenity, and inspiration.

This is a beautiful oldcathedral close to branch brook park. The windows are amazing as are the stations of the cross all done in spectacular mosaic artwork. I wasnt blessed enough to hear a mass today while visiting but was very pleased to walk through the cathedrals holy doors and enjoy some moments of quiet spiritual meditation while taking in the grandeur of the chuch. Take a moment to explore the choir loft also. The pipes are lovely and not very visible from below. Elevator accessible for those unable to climb the stairs.

Peaceful. Try not to visit during lunch without knowing if the building is open. Amazing history and I remember when the Pope visited and the Green helicopter landed across the street on the knoll.

Just beautiful. You enter on the side street. The stained glass windows are stunning. If I didn't know, I would have thought I was in a cathedral in Europe!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Mountain Creek chairlift team. On September 13, while photographing a wedding, I accidentally left my camera at the top of the mountain. The lift was scheduled to close at 6:00 PM, but the staff kindly stayed with me and waited until the last team member at the summit located my camera and brought it down. I’m deeply grateful for their patience, professionalism, and kindness. Thank you so much!

I’m really disappointed with Mountain Creek’s lift ride operation. They closed the line 30 minutes before the posted closing time, saying the line was already too long — yet they were still selling tickets just minutes before closing the line! That’s completely unfair and misleading. It feels like they just care about making sales, not about giving guests the experience they paid for. The staff didn’t communicate properly, didn’t apologize, and didn’t offer any options for people who bought tickets but couldn’t even line up. If they know the line gets long, they should stop selling tickets earlier or use time slots to manage the crowd properly — not punish guests who show up on time. It's not our problem that everyone wants to ride during sunset. That should be a management problem!! This was very disappointing and showed how poor the customer service and organization really are. Never again! Waste of money!

We went to Mountain Creek for the fall fest. The event was packed the weather was perfect and the ride up the lift was great. It was cool watching the mountain biking on the trail from the lift. The only issue i had was the food and drink situation. They did the best they could, but clearly not prepared for the mass of people that came. Luckily the burger was delicious and saved the afternoon. Overall happy, good atmosphere, food, games, music and friendly staff.

Great bike park! Employees were pleasant and helpful. Prices were reasonable. The lift took a couple tries to perfect loading the bikes but after that it was easy. We visited during Octoberfest and it was good and bad. Very busy, but lots of entertainment and food options. The trails ranged from mild to wild. I liked that there were technical trails as well as flow. The trails were a little washed out but not too bad considering it was the end of the season. Overall it was a great experience and we plan on returning!

Came here November 2nd for the 3rd annual fall fest weekend. I got the sky ride ticket for $16.78. I really wanted to try the adventure package but it was already sold out by the time I got ready to purchase. In my honest opinion the Fall Fest is NOT WORTH IT! Especially if it would be quite a drive for you. The drive for me was about 1 hour and 30 minutes and I don’t think the experience was worth the drive. I honestly feel like the IG reels and TikTok videos I’ve seen of the Fall fest overhyped it and made it look better than it really was. In my opinion it was hectic because there were bikers all over the place which is fair because the fall fest and the bike trail is a shared space. I think they should have called this BIKER FEST you literally have to watch out because the bikers just zoom by. I did get to go on the sky ride which was nice and the scenery was beautiful. But, was it worth coming to the fall fest and purchasing a ticket just to do that…… NO. If you are looking for a Fall experience/farm experience in Vernon, NJ I recommend Heaven Hill Farm which is literally 9 minutes from mountain creek. Now that gave me the vibe I was looking for. I didn’t get to explore it fully because it was close to closing time but I did check out their Farmers Market and their cider donuts were tasty. Anyways, maybe I will be back to mountain creek but probably not for their Fall Fest. I will say that the staff at mountain creek were friendly, I got some cool photos, and I got to spend time with family and friends so that is a plus.

Here already for fall fest and its overly crowded. No one working so it’s unclear if parking is paid/unpaid. Food vendor area is disorganized. Not clear what each line is for (1 for ordering, 1 for pickup, but no rhyme or rhtym to tell you when your order is ready). Took an hour to get our food alone. Do not waste your money on this. Did not go on gondola or coaster due to long lines (1 hour at least). Not a good experience and am requesting a refund. If I’m driving 2 hours from NYC for foliage, better to go upstate to the Catskills than this overhyped crapshow Also, while we were prepared for bugs and nature, we did not anticipate the insane amount of yellow jackets near the food area Update 24 hours after emailing them (and before they responded below): Got a general message they’re looking into it. To be clear, this was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. We did not even have enough time to redeem the tickets we bought due to the long lines. Sadly, I do not have confidence they’ll make it right and strongly feel this place is a cash grab. We do not plan to ever come back and encourage others to avoid. Go over to warwick, ny and go apple picking, or just go up to The Catskills Update 3 days later: After a bit of pushing via email, we got a long empathetic apology from the owner who refunded us. His leadership was greatly appreciated, and hopefully the resort takes the right steps to fix this. Owner invited us back and offered some perks upon our return, but we likely will not come back given the lines issue seems to be an ongoing issue. We hope the resort will improve over time.

For boarding- if you get the lowest access pass. You have to walk a long distance with your gear. But worth the day pass and season as you get to ride on two mountains. Go on T,W,Thursday to skip crowd. The location is good had Taco Bell and local bean cafe if you want to skip out on $20 food in the lodge

This water park was amazing! There’s something to do for all ages, and I would definitely recommend it. I’ll absolutely be returning because I had such a great time with my boyfriend. The only con is that if you don’t know the park is on mountainous terrain, you might not be prepared for the walking. Wear comfortable shoes — luckily, I wore slippers that were sort of comfy, but sneakers would’ve been better. Bring plenty of water and a reusable bottle because you’ll be walking a lot, and after each ride you’ll definitely need it. Consider this your heads-up! The food wasn’t good — I had fries with a chicken sandwich and ended up with some stomach burn. It’s also overpriced, so I’d recommend bringing your own food and water if you can. That said, I didn’t come here for the food, so I’m not lowering my rating because of it. Overall, the park is very affordable (we paid around $60 for general admission) , free parking and the service from the staff was great. This place is definitely worth visiting — you’ll have an amazing time!

Here’s my personal experience: I visited the park on a Saturday (July). Overall, it’s a good park with plenty of slide options, but some of the rides are starting to show signs of wear and could use maintenance. If you go on a weekend, be prepared for long lines—expect wait times of 1 to 2 hours for most rides. I recommend getting there right when the park opens at 10 AM and heading straight to the Colorado River ride, one of the best ride in the park. We made the mistake of leaving it for later and ended up waiting two hours in line for a ride that lasted only 1 minute and 30 seconds. If you're planning to try the Alpine Mountain Coaster, do that early too. The lines there can get out of control, with wait times of up to two hours for a 3-minute ride. The food court is pretty good—the food is decent quality, though a bit pricey. The bathrooms, however, are in poor condition and really need maintenance. I recommend using the restroom before arriving, as the park’s facilities might pose a health risk if you're not careful. In short, I don’t recommend visiting on weekends due to the long wait times. Weekdays are likely a better choice with fewer crowds and shorter lines. PS. IIf you see a long line at Alpine Rush, skip it. It’s not worth the 1 hour and 20-minute wait for a ride that lasts only 30 seconds. You’re better off going on the Thunder Ride—much more enjoyable for your time.

Mountain Creek Water Park delivers a thrilling summer escape with a diverse array of slides and attractions that cater to all ages. Known for its unique mountain setting, the park boasts exhilarating rides like the Colorado River and Canyon Cliff Jump, offering an adrenaline rush for thrill-seekers. While the uphill walks between attractions can be challenging, the natural beauty of the surroundings, with waterfalls and lush paths, creates a distinct and enjoyable atmosphere. The park thoughtfully provides options for younger guests, including a wave pool, sprayground, and lazy river, ensuring family-friendly fun. Despite its history as the infamous Action Park, Mountain Creek Water Park has undergone significant overhauls, prioritizing safety while still delivering an exciting and memorable experience.

The most important thing to know: this place is absolutely not kid-friendly. This is not my first water park, so I have something to compare it to. It’s also not my first time visiting this exact location — I’ve been here before for different events, but never for the water park itself. And honestly, I’m shocked. The kids’ area is incredibly small — only three zones, one of which is split by a walkway leading to the main slides. The water is both freezing cold and dirty. I’m not talking about leaves falling from trees; I’m talking about the water itself. The “Lazy River” was overcrowded with people and kids of all ages. On the opposite side, there are two slides with very dirty water as well. There’s also a shallow “toddler” pool with warmer water, but considering how many tickets they sell (and that many guests are bound to come with young kids), this small space turns into a swamp. There’s also nowhere to sit. Lounge chairs are scattered in random spots, mostly “reserved” with piles of towels while their owners are nowhere in sight. People were lying on the ground on their own towels under bushes and in corners, making the place look messy and unpleasant. The park layout is inconvenient — long walks from the parking lot and between different attractions. The entrance line wasn’t huge, but the staff moved slowly, and someone even fainted from the heat while waiting. If you have small kids, you might think to bring a stroller — but it’s a double-edged sword: it’s helpful for the uphill walk (which takes about 20 minutes), but once inside, there’s nowhere to leave it. Lockers are another issue. Renting one is almost a necessity because there’s nowhere safe to leave your bag, but you’ll waste another 30–40 minutes in line just to get one. Prices are high: small lockers are $20, medium $30, large $50 — on top of the $59 ticket (without any discounts). Now, about rides for older kids and teens — my teenager usually loves water parks, but not this time. The lines were insane. The simplest slide took us 30 minutes of waiting. The park itself is smaller than it appears on the map, so everyone crowds together near the water, making it feel even more packed. And I have to mention the bathrooms — absolutely disgusting, worse than a public park restroom. I have never seen such poor maintenance at any water park, indoor or outdoor. I wanted to give two stars, but honestly, I can’t think of a single positive thing. If you’re in your 20s, maybe you’ll enjoy it. But if you’re in your 30s with kids — from the bottom of my heart, skip this place as a water park.

The park is pretty nice, but it can be a long trip to the restroom and staff shortages leave that all the areas to buy sun screen and water shoes were not open, they are also a little ridiculously priced. Alpine coaster line was long, but everything else has fairly short lines. There is a bar with good drinks, of course a little expensive. Overall cool vibe, we liked it.

The water park was a lot of fun! The rides were exciting and definitely worth the visit. The pricing for entry was fair, which made it even better. The only downside was the food — not very tasty and overpriced. Overall, a great place for fun, but I’d recommend grabbing a bite before or after your visit.

First time I’ve been to Mountain Creek/action Park in 40 years for the waterpark. I’m proud to say I did all the Rides slides. Glad they were tuned down from the psychotic 80s. Still a lot of fun and still have plenty of bruises that are well deserved. Park was really clean. Plenty of lifeguards would’ve liked to seen less lifeguards and maybe more security. I’ll be back next season.

I had such a great experience at the Forestburgh Playhouse last year that I bought a season pass this year. That's how much I enjoy this place. That said, I was disappointed by the sound during Next to Normal. The cast was fantastic. Every performer brought real emotion and strong vocals, and they clearly put their hearts into it. The problem was the sound system. The audio quality was rough, especially if you're sitting in the first couple of rows. There are small speakers right in front of those seats, and instead of helping, they made everything sound distorted and muddy. I’d avoid those seats if possible until it’s improved. There were also mic issues throughout the show. A few times the mics didn’t come on right away, so lines were missed. Plus, there was frequent feedback, which was really distracting. It’s frustrating because the performers were so good, and the sound system didn’t do them justice. I really hope the Playhouse addresses these problems. The actors and the audience deserve a better experience.

Forestburgh Playhouse always puts on the best shows, as well as cabarets. I’ve been going there at least 10 years and they never disappoint! Parking is plentiful, and the gardens are delight!

My sister and I saw newsies last night and the production was phenomenal!! I expected a good show, But it was way above and beyond that. I had never been to the Playhouse, but I will definitely come back for more! Great job!!

Absolutely THE BEST local playhouse! The talent is phenomenal with the majority of the cast & crew coming from Broadway, off-Broadway & touring productions. The playhouse itself is set in a rustic barn & any seat in the house is fine. There is a tavern attached that I’ve never been too, but it offers special dinner cabaret events in addition to drinks. One of my favorite live entertainment venues!

Just saw Young Frankenstein and it was as good as anything I’ve seen on Broadway. The singing and choreography was top notch. I smiled through the whole show. This is an outstanding venue. Looking forward to the next show.

We saw Young Frankenstein. It was really amazing. The choreography, scenes and acting are wonderful. I only gave 4 stars because it was extremely hot in the theater. There is air conditioning but everyone was quite hot.

Top notch performance. No bad seats. Heard several people say they have been coming here for decades. Not surprised. Staff did everything to make the night memorable.

Holy smokes! This place is gorgeous. The gardens are so beautiful I wanted to stay all day. Many well groomed paths to walk on, water features, and an old mansion are some of the highlights. Would come back again!

Wonderful place in Morristown, it’s a hidden gem in the area. Many varieties of flowers and plants are there. Walking trails are also great. Good place for family gatherings. Many bees are around, so beware when you come with kids. Ample parking 🅿️ spaces available.

1. Walkability – A wonderful place for a peaceful walk. The trails and paths are well laid out and surrounded by beautiful trees and gardens. 2. Photography – If you love nature photography, this is a must-visit! So many picturesque spots with flowers, textures, and serene corners. 3. Maintenance – The arboretum is well-maintained, clean, and clearly cared for. The gardens are lovely and inviting. 4. Parking – There is parking available, which makes access very convenient. 5. Hours – My only issue was that I arrived around 9:00 AM (as listed on Google), but the main gate was closed. I had to leave and return around 10:00 AM when it was open. It would be helpful if the hours were clearer or updated online. Overall: A beautiful, calming space perfect for walks, photos, and a quiet moment with nature. I’ll definitely return!

The Frelinghuysen Arboretum is an absolute gem—a beautifully maintained oasis that feels like a living work of art. The grounds are impeccable, with thoughtfully laid-out paths leading to vibrant flower beds, perfectly pruned roses, and serene woodland corners. It blends elegance and natural beauty so well, from the stately historic mansion to the scenic lawns and winding trails. Whether you’re a gardener, photographer, or just looking for a peaceful escape, it’s truly exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone who loves beautiful, well-kept gardens.

My family and I had such a wonderful time at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum today! We tried the scavenger hunt and it was such a fun way to explore the park while also learning about the different plants and vegetation. It made the visit interactive for all of us, and we’re already looking forward to coming back and doing it on a monthly basis. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and so well maintained! It's the perfect place to stroll, relax, and enjoy nature. Next time, we’re planning to bring a picnic and spend even more time soaking it all in. Such a gem in our community!

Went here last year during summer morning and was amazing, there was a lot of birds chirping and squirrels. It was fun to see the little fairy houses built there. The area is really quiet and peaceful to go for a walk or just to sit on a bench and get lost in your thoughts. Recommended if you enjoy nature

It is so beautiful and peaceful. Very clean and maintenaid. There are so many areas to do a picnic, a family or friends gathering. Huge tent great for weddings. A must to take special pictures. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service but if you're looking for a quieter atmosphere, this is not the place. Don't get me wrong, the ambiance is great if you're looking for the bar scene. If you're looking to enjoy your meal without people standing around you then this is not your place. The food was amazing and the drinks were to die for! Kudos to the chef, our waiter and the bartender.

The Washington Room is always the best experience. The staff were amazing and made it feel very welcoming from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. The food was extremely delicious and the whole experience is why we've been coming back to celebrate our anniversary for the past 4 years and probably many more years to come. Pro tip: always get the octopus

Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen is a must try. The interior and exterior architecture is beautiful. We sat at the Vail Bar for Happy Hour for 1/2 price glasses of wine and draft beer. The wine selection is excellent and the beer choices adequate. The $2 oysters were super fresh. The hummus with Calabrian peppers and double smash burger w/fries were delicious. The service was impeccable thanks to our bartenders Taylor and Gabriel.

I wish I had something bad to say about this place but honestly everything was incredible from start to finish! From the old world decor to the amazing martinis to the downright delicious cheddar biscuits. This is my new favorite haunt! And do yourself a favor & get a drink at the bar a nice burger and explore !

Disappointing experience second time as well. We reserved to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The food and service has become mediocre sadly. All server staff needs lots of training. We requested to clean our table as something was spilled after the appetizer round and the lady ignored nodded and walked away. Then again asked the server and he decided to clean. The server were new not experienced to serve at a fine dinning restaurant more better suited if they work around at a taco joint. I ordered a whole branzino fish - which was served head taken off, medium to small whole fish by itself on top of two soggy egg plant slices full of seeds. They don’t go well - soggy eggplant with fish. No other sides at all - the sever didn’t suggest that we should order a side of anything as the fish literally comes by it self with some sauce and topped with little green on it, you are eating oily grilled fish without any spice by itself - where is the chef’s creativity!? Why didn’t the server mention to order sides that can go with it. My son ordered a pasta - you see the picture below pasta was watery!! With pieces of octopus floating in the pasta. How can you make and serve watery sauce pasta with more white beans and less pasta - truly unimpressed. Apparently, the chicken was made good no complains other than the sever making a fuss about replacing broccoli raab with quinoa, a simple small request by guests spending over $500 in food and wine was accommodated after a long discussion, thankfully. (This was mentioned in the allergy section by us saying no pork no broccoli raab) Appetizers were excellent. Try the salads, octopus and oysters all three were excellent!! Dessert cheesecake and chocolate cake were okay as they should be. Nothing special.

Our server, Ryan, was great! He went out of his way to tell us the specials and show us what they look like before we ordered. He was very attentive and answered all our questions.

We came for Valentine's Dinner. We waited 30 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink, another 30 for our appetizers, and another 30 for our entrees. Our waiter was uninformed about the menu, barely said a word to us, and never once asked us if we wanted another drink or how everything was. Twice the waiters tried to bring us dessert when we hadn't received our main course yet. We were never asked if we wanted coffee or another beverage with or after dessert. The food was absolutely delicious, but we ordered the $38 duck supplement for two, which was mislabeled as a supplement when it was a replacement for the entrees, which the waiter was unaware of. We paid $38 extra to replace our entrees with one that was not nearly large enough for two people. It was, however, delicious. Whenever we've come in the past, we have always had a great time. It is an absolute travesty that on a special night like valentine's night, everything fell apart. We paid nearly $150 per head after "supplements" and cocktails, and I would be disappointed at the experience for 1/3rd that price. I would never come back for a special occasion, which is a shame because of how much we love the restaurant on a normal night out. The only reason I'm giving an overall three stars instead of two is because our previous experiences at the restaurant have been much better, and the food was quite good even if it took us forever to receive it and it wasn't quite what we were expecting based on the menu and our waiter's clear lack of awareness of what he was serving.

Beautiful grounds. The inside of the house was breathtaking and worth the cost. The informative video in the bait house was very interesting. All of the rangers and volunteers were friendly and very knowledgeable. Make sure you look at what time the tours are, the grounds are open all week but the gift shop and tours are only on certain days. Tickets can only be purchased in the gift shop.

This place is incredible! One of the best of hundreds of historical sites I have ever been to. Didn't get to take a tour or go inside cuz it was closed due to government shutdown (thank you Dems), but the outside of the house and the grounds were unreal. Just a short few miles/minutes off 84 close to Milford, definitely worth a stop on your travels. So much to see. Even the bathroom facility in the parking area was a tower. Plenty of parking and great bathrooms with water fountains. Came during fall, so got added bonus of fall decorations, including pumpkins. Can't wait to return for a tour of the inside!

Quiet and vast area filled with history. We walked around the perimeter and soaked in all the beautiful flowers, sun and landscape. There's two levels of parking available and there were tours happening. It was an enjoyable afternoon roaming around.

Wow, wow, wow!! This place was impressive beyond belief. And, it was a complete surprise find while road tripping through the New England states. While we were on time constraints and didn't get to make it inside the house, just the outside is a site to marvel at. I love seeing these types of places and imagine myself living there in times gone by. Hard to believe JFK was here shortly before he had gotten assassinated. Lots of history in the video. Make this a stop on your travels, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful home full of history of an early time of US history and the begginig of the US Forrest conservamcy movement. Pinchot family involved after they, very ironically, made their fortune in the logging industry and significantly deforested the area. Apparently one of the progeny, grandson, i think, became upset witnessing the ravaged woods in pennsylvania. This personn became the first US forrester after studying in europe. He ultimately was govenor of pa twice and established the US Forrest Service. Mansion built by famous architect of the gilded age. Can only tour the first floor for $10 but it is worth it. Nice picture of life then. Some interesting touches outside home as they entertained some big time dignitaries like a stone table with a water center where food would be floated for dining guests to sserve themselves.4 stars because there were part of the gardends that looked very interesting but were locked off without explanation.

It is a beautiful place and a well-maintained site. I was so grateful that there was no entrance fee. If you want to tour the castle, you need a ticket. You can also buy simple drinks, snacks, and souvenirs.

Grey Towers National Historic Site is a remarkable historic site located in Milford, PA. Here you can both walk the grounds or take a tour of the mansion. It is easy to be impressed by the grandeur of the mansion and the surrounding gardens and scenery. Grey Towers was built in 1886 by James Pinchot, who was a philanthropist and businessman. As with many Gilded Age mansions the designer of this mansion was Richard Morris Hunt. After James died in 1908, his son Gifford who was head of the US Forest Service and then a governor of Pennsylvania lived here. Most of the sites and exhibits on the grounds and in the mansion are dedicated to Gifford’s efforts as a leading conservationist of his time. Tours of the mansion are self guided and the docents inside can answer all of your questions. Inside you will see the opulence of the Gilded Age reflected in each room. Some of the best rooms in the house are the ballroom and library. On the mansion tour you will only see the bottom floors. The top floors can be seen only when the house is decorated for the Christmas holiday. When walking outdoors there are many sites to see. Be sure to view the conical towers on the mansion when seeing it from the outside. The Finger Bowl, an outdoor dining area, is probably one of the most unique things outside. The Letterbox and the Bait Box are also unique. The Bait Box was originally a playhouse for Gifford Pinchot’s son, and is today used as a small amphitheater where a movie about Grey Towers is shown. The cemetery is an interesting piece of history located here as well. The estate also offers walking/hiking trails around the estate. Mansion tours are done only a few days each week from May-October. To get a mansion tour you will have to purchase a ticket at the gift shop or “Letter Box” near the mansion. You will have to check the website for hours and when tours of the mansion are available. Grey Towers is a unique place to learn about the history of conservation and see a remarkable Gilded Age estate.

Very nice experience. Good cigars and whiskey. Great people onboard. Cocktails weren’t the best but the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend! Can’t wait for the next event.

Always a great time with this Crew. Great food, great scenery and great staff. We always make sure to take a trip once or twice each summer

Employees were super nice. Food was excellent. Also happened to be a perfect weather. It was easy to book. Didn't have to carry paperwork with you. Everything was on their tablet.

Our lunch cruise far exceeded our expectations. Everything was exceptional and the weather was perfect, too. The cruise was relaxing with the just the right amount of commentary from Captain John. Background music was just the right volume to allow conversation. The staff was attentive and helpful. It was a very enjoyable two hour cruise. We highly recommend it and expect to do it again.

Always a good time. Wish they'd do a bit better with coordination when it comes to vegetarian or custom options for the food, but overall it's always a good experience.

If you're looking for a unique way to experience Lake Hopatcong, I highly recommend checking out Lake Hopatcong Cruises. The variety of their offerings ensures that there's something for everyone, and you're guaranteed to have a memorable time. Their events are a perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and picturesque views, making every cruise a must-do activity! The Cigar and Whiskey tasting event hosted by Lake Hopatcong Cruises, was nothing short of spectacular. The event was expertly organized, providing a refined selection of whiskies paired beautifully with high-quality cigars, making for an unforgettable evening on the water. The ambiance of Lake Hopatcong added a serene backdrop to the experience, making each sip and puff all the more enjoyable. But the Cigar and Whiskey tasting is just one of the many fantastic events that Lake Hopatcong Cruises offers throughout the season. Whether it's their lively dinner cruises, scenic brunch tours, or the festive holiday gatherings, each event is crafted with care and tailored to provide guests with an engaging and delightful experience. The staff’s attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction shines through in every interaction.

It was such a great cruise. We did the lunch cruise. Food was very good. The staff is so helpful and friendly. We sat on the upper deck. Views were amazing. We will definitely do this again

Short walk to the falls from the upper parking lot. Beautiful, lush forested area. I love the sound of rushing water the closer you get to the Falls. Beautiful. My only caution is there can be a lot of raised rocks, roots and other vegetation along the trail that can be dangerous for Senior Citizens. Use the railings and watch your step.

A nice view. A small hike for those interested. There are two observation platforms. One up top and one below. There are two ways to get to the lower platform. A hike down from the top or a straight path from the additional parking area.

What an incredible hidden gem! Raymondskill Falls is the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania, and it’s absolutely worth the visit. The trail is short and easy, making it perfect for families or anyone looking for a quick nature escape. The views from the upper and lower platforms are stunning—you can hear the power of the falls as you get closer. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a perfect spot to relax, take photos, or just enjoy nature. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area or planning a weekend getaway in Pennsylvania. Don’t forget your camera and comfortable shoes!

Fantastic trails and waterfalls! Easy walk up or down. Plenty of parking. Tons of different birds. No fish though. Great for photography! Safe area with clean restrooms. 10 out of 10! Totally recommended! Just beware of possible bears. I encountered none during my visit.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen! Raymondskill Falls is located at the north portion of the Delaware Water Gap! The hike to see the falls is very short and easy. I highly recommend anyone visiting the Delaware Water Gap to check out Raymondskill Falls!

The largest falls in PA i am told. It was really beautiful and worth the visit. I was surprised it was flowing so fast in September!

Raymondskill Falls is the tallest and one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Pennsylvania. The falls consist of three different tiers. The trail leading to the is only a third of a mile long and has two sets of viewing platforms to view the falls. The platforms offer ample room and are a safe way to view the falls. The trail leading to the falls is wide and easy to follow. Just be cautious with your footing here. The trail is a loop setup so you can get to both viewing platforms. The lower of the platforms offers a better view of the falls, in my opinion. There is a parking lot for about ten or more vehicles. There are other trails nearby as well. At the beginning of the trail there is a set of restrooms. It is easy to access a trail map online or you can just view the map board in the parking lot. Best of all this wonder of nature is free to see. So get out and enjoy it!

We’ve been to a bunch of farms, but this one is hands down our favorite! I really don’t get why people complain about the prices. Yeah, it’s a little more expensive than some other places but totally worth it! You get what you pay for. We came to pick blueberries and ended up finding so much more: cherries, raspberries, currants, blueberries, and tons of other fruits and berries! The farm is huge and super clean. The staff was really kind and helpful, and there’s a lot to do for both kids and adults. The food was delicious, and we had such a great family day here. They even have stroller parking, which was a huge plus for us! Live music made the whole vibe even better, it was so chill and fun. We’ll definitely be back later in the summer for more fruit, and again in the fall for apple and pumpkin season. Such an awesome place!

Wonderful location. First time here and will definitely return. We had taken the tractor ride through the apple and peach orchards and had a wonderful time picking fruit right from the tree. Delicious apple cider donuts were served warm! Had fun petting the animals, especially the baby goats.

Came with my family and we all had a great time. Great over all farm experience. But It is pretty pricey and we ended up paying over $200 for a family of 3 that was for pick our own/entrance, food, and 1 sunflower. Also the price online is cheaper than in person and I wish I knew that ahead of time. We weren’t sure if we were going to go to the farm so I didn’t purchase online but I did check the night before, when I searched on line it was around $80 at checkout, but when I paid at the entrance in person it was $100. The line to get ice cream was very long and didn’t move very fast so we skipped that but it looked really good. overall our farm day was amazing, clean, easy to navigate and lots of things to pick. Would definitely visit again just more mindful and extra planning needed from my end to save a little next time. The horses on the front are the cutest.

Absolutely beautiful farm! Came here on a Saturday morning with my whole family and everyone had an amazing time. We started by getting our wristbands which came with either a pint for berries or a 1/4 peck bag for peaches and veggies. We mixed and matched to do a little of everything. We took a tractor ride to the fields and picked blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peppers, egg plants, peaches and white peaches (much sweeter and delicious if you ask me than the regular peaches). We then grabbed lunch at the farm which was super convenient and fairly priced. We did the sunflower and wildflower picking (sunflowers were $2.50 per stem and the wildflowers were $0.50 per stem). We ended the day with their house made ice cream and doing some shopping (I grabbed some wildflower honey) and left with a bag of their fresh kettle corn. An amazing day with my family and will 100% be back to do pumpkin picking in the fall.

Really cool farm visit! The farm's layout made it very easy to follow and it had plenty of scenic views and nice walks. They also have an efficient hayride station system that took you to different parts of the farm—prepare to walk a lot though! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the price. I paid $82 for two people, which allowed for a ziplock freezer-sized bag of produce and/or 2 pumpkins. About 5-6 apples fit in the bag alone. Me and my guest had to put other produce such as cilantro, broccoli and peppers in our personal bags and still got charged for it upon exiting. Aside from this, the farm is an awesome experience and has a lot to offer such as live music, food vendors, a nice winery section, and a farm store full of treats and delicacies!

So I came here for a siblings field trip and I loved it. We picked some peaches and saw many animals and y’all had some good ones and I really like this farm since it’s not that big and not too small. 😊 I just think you guys should just make the parking space lines a little more visible because when we were parking we could barely see the lines but I’m not super mad. I just hope you can do something about this but in general I did love it.

One of the greatest farms i’ve ever been to! You don’t even have to pay to enter unless you are picking ur own fruits/veggies. On your way to park you pass by a field with goats and horses that you can feed before you leave (they are all so very friendly and well trained. Just big and hungry tho) They have a pig, chickens, roosters, a llama, and probably so much more honestly. The eating/dining/shopping area is so cute and child friendly, there are wooden love swings available to use aswell that are decorated with flowers. The staff in the shop are very kind/understanding too when it comes to allergens. The apple cider slushie was sweet in the best way, the maple creme dessert was good, came with a donut it was just a bit sweet for me but still good. Savory foods were pretty good, fries were hot/fresh. Good eats. Up the farm they have a truck that travels throughout and brings you to ur destination. Picking fruits/veggies depending on what you get the price can vary, We only did apples and in order to enter it was $68 for 2 people. To me it was worth it since they don’t pay per pound/weight like other farms do. There also is a maze + hay area for family to explore/take pictures at. The picking areas are clearly labeled if they are ready to be picked. Most of the apples were on the ground but overall it was pretty organized. Would definitely recommend and be willing to come back. Thank you for having this here!! Hidden gem.

This has changed A LOT since I was a kid! It went from being a wonderful hike to a tourist trap. $22 entrance fee is WILD! I understood why once inside; all those stairs changing this from a hike to a boardwalk of stairs must be expensive! By creating a walkway like this, it's made this area into something that people feel is easily accessible for a non-hiker. I just wish I wasn't expecting to hike.... What a bummer. AND you can't even get close to the waterfalls like you once had access to! You used to be able to get right to the water's edge. Not anymore.... If you are looking for an over-crowded, family in the way of your photos, easy-ish hike. This is for you. If you want to be in nature and HIKE, this isn't the place for you.

But your tickets in advance. Take pictures of your confirmation before arriving. There’s almost no cell service there. The site is amazing. The waterfalls are beautiful. The biggest one is up front. The walkways are well maintained. Wear very comfortable shoes. Be prepared to walk on gravel, grades and stairs. It’s worth it. We did the Red trail. 2-2.5 miles. Posted for hikers only. If you don’t hike, carefully consider if you can do this trail. We suggest doing it counter clockwise. It starts off more strenuous and the last half is easy.

A beautiful walk amongst the hills viewing the many waterfalls. Scenery was beautiful The walk was a little strenuous at times but well worth it for the hour and a half it took us.

This is one of the privately owned area with Plenty of parking. The price of $22 expensive to enter for only a few falls. When we visited during October the water streams had close to no flow water level, which was disappointing. Takes about 2 hours to walk and some step sections are long to go up and down. Half of the trail is near falls and the other half goes through the gorgeous woods. One can avoid the trail and just come spend some casual time with family in the nature.

What a gem of a park!!! Beautiful views of countless waterfalls. You can day walk or hike hard either way you won't be disappointed. Friendly staff. Nice gift shop and vlean bathrooms. A must see for the entire family.

A very beautiful place, often called the “Niagara of Pennsylvania.” Bushkill Falls is impressive: several waterfalls, clean trails, viewing platforms, and wooden bridges. We chose the Yellow Trail — it was easy and very scenic. Tickets were $22 per person at the entrance. Keep in mind there are stairs and climbs, so wear comfortable shoes and be ready for a bit of exercise. Overall, it’s a great spot for a family walk and photos. Definitely worth visiting at least once!

Came here for a hike on our honeymoon. The trails were amazing, the waterfalls were so cool to see up close. Definitely recommend to any outdoorsy person! Plus as an added bonus the shops are super cute and have something for everyone. And an added bonus the pressed penny machines were a great vacation throwback.

Rented a cottage for a few nights which was exactly as described. No frills, electric, bunk beds, picnic table inside and out, a heater and ceiling fan. The bathhouse was about 200 feet from our cottage which was convenient. The bathhouse was well maintained and the shower water was HOT! spring is still coming to life and the trees are not in full bloom but beautiful nonetheless. Spent one morning kayaking the lake, seems to be fairly shallow and a lot of growth, fishing wasn’t successful. Walked conservation island which is a nice mile loop. Checked out the eagle conservation area but unfortunately didn’t see any eagles. I know the cabins have basic appliances, these do not and it would be a bonus if there was at least a microwave.

Lovely place for paddling, swimming, and hiking. The main lake is just about ideal for kayaking or canoeing. I recommend checking out the Little Falls Trail, as well. Lots of nice views for a relatively short hike.

One of my top 5 PA State parks! Beautiful hiking trails, huge lake for kayaking and swimming, Momma Bears concessions, clean restrooms, 5 campgrounds, Conservation Island, Observation Station is a hidden gem

Campsites are reasonably spaced out for Pennsylvania parks (other parks are much worse). The park rangers are great. I arrived after the office was closed so just went to my site to setup camp. At some point in the morning on their rounds they had come by and placed my parking permit on my car for me. Saved me a trip back down the road. Was very considerate.

Awesome camping along the water at Pickerel Point. Some nice hikes and a beach with concessions. There's some businesses in the village within the park for supplies and teats too.

Promised Land State Park Review: A Must-Stop Camping Destination in Pennsylvania I visited Promised Land State Park during an East Coast camping trip, and it quickly became one of the most memorable stops along the way. This park truly stands out for its size, serenity, and natural beauty. Even with over 500 campsites spread across multiple campgrounds, it never felt crowded. The layout is smart, the spacing generous, and the peaceful forest setting adds to the sense of calm you get the moment you arrive. The hiking here is excellent—trails are well-marked and varied, from short scenic loops to longer treks past creeks, waterfalls, and wooded ridges. Whether you're looking to stretch your legs or spend a full day on foot, there's plenty to explore. What impressed me most was how well maintained everything was. The park staff clearly take pride in keeping Promised Land in great shape. From the clean facilities to the quiet, undisturbed feel of the forest, this is a top-notch destination for anyone traveling through Pennsylvania. If you're exploring the East Coast by RV, campervan, or just car camping—Promised Land State Park is absolutely worth a stop. ~DLM-Campervans

My rating is based on my fishing experience. The lake over all is very nice, has a beach, boat rentals, park like setting etc and is 4 if not 5 star. As a fisherman though the boat launches are shallow for 16ft and larger boats. Definitely can be done but you may need boots or dont mind getting wet. The lake itself is very weedy by mid to late June. Some of it is unfishable. The edges look amazing and there are fish it just takes effort. I did better in the center of the lake where the weeds were 1-2 ft under the surface. I caught at the edges too but also caught weeds. Nice enough lake but for fishing I would only go early Spring or Fall once vegetation dies off. Multiple other lakes I'd rather fish and I live 6 mins from this lake.

Great sanctuary. Pre purchase of tickets are necessary. There’s a Short half mile hike uphill or you can take a shuttle. Docent leading tour was very knowledgeable and gave an excellent talk on the wolves living in the sanctuary. They also have lynxes and bobcats in another section

If you have a real or inner child who has a special affinity with wolves, foxes, or big cats, this is a worthy destination and dedication of an entire morning or afternoon to experience. The tour is such a high value I felt compelled to donate as well just to feel less guilty about walking away with such a bargain. Not that the whole tour is a sales pitch - far from it! I loved how they focused on telling stories about the animals. It was a wonderful escape from the everyday world into a special corner of the world where wolves and other wildlife are treasured just as they are.

Incredible experience, worth every penny. Wolves are front and center and very active easy to see. We’re even vocal, growling and howling as the played with each other. Highly recommend visiting and supporting this preserve.

It was more of a cry for help tour, every reason why they don’t make money for their wrong decisions and how government is screwing them for money, wolves were nice. Jim the guide was ok, I won’t go there again because we did nothing didn’t interact with animals whatsoever. Lady kept going on and on about bobcat and lynx she copied whatever she read in books. Lynx left halfway in the tour and so did we. All in all wasted $75 and much more time. Mehhhh

The couple who run the preserve are absolutely amazing. They've rescued every animal, fed them, given them medical treatment and a longer lifespan then most wolves in the wild. They've dedicated their lives to these animals, kudos!

Wonderful preserve. Learned lots about the wolves, and they even have a bobcat and fox. Hard to take photos through a double fence though, you need to sign up for a special tour in order to have access to get better shots. I took some photos, then photoshopped out the fence and created a landscape using AI to make the photo look good.

Awesome experience! The wolves, Bob cats and foxes are beautiful! I love what they're doing for them to keep them safe from humans.

I remembered the old Mount Airy Lodge commercials from when I was a kid in the 1980s, and I wanted to see how this place changed since then, even though the original structure was demolished in the early 2000s. I came here for a little weekend trip for some gambling and a little spa treatment. This whole place is absolutely gorgeous. One of the best resorts I have visited. My room was clean and I had a nice view of the lake/golf course. The room has a fridge, but it only holds beverages (including alcohol) from the hotel that you are automatically charged if you remove anything. Same goes for snacks. The casino can be a little off putting since it is a tad smoky since smoking is permitted. Otherwise, they have a great selection of games to play. I really enjoyed the different slot machines. I took advantage of the Spa my second day and I was very satisfied with all my services. Shout out to Alyssa and Liana who did a fantastic job with my facial, manicure and massage. The Spa is very clean and well organized. Definitely recommend checking out. But be mindful that all services automatically charges 20% gratuity. They have several restaurants and a bar in the casino area along with a cute little gift shop. The coffee shop is downstairs on the other end of the hotel. When I arrived they had plenty of parking. It can seem like a nuisance to drag luggage from the car and have to cut through the casino to get to the front desk. I also attended an event in the conference area that was fun as well. And it wasn't that expensive. Overall, I had a wonderful time here and I will definitely come back again in the future.

Fantastic and very beautiful casino in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. The rooms are absolutely amazing and both the hotel and casino are great! The selection of slots and number of them ensure that you can almost always get your machine. The buffet is the best we have had at a casino, and is very reasonably priced. Every Wednesday has a 30% discount on the buffet. The Noodle bar and Italian restaurant are top notch as well. The payouts seem to be very generous as well!

I am extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The overall cleanliness is unacceptable — everything feels dirty and neglected. The pools are very dirty, and the jacuzzi that is advertised simply does not exist. The service is terrible, and the staff look tired, unprofessional, and untidy. The food in the restaurant is awful — absolutely tasteless, the dishes are dirty, and even the tables are sticky and not properly cleaned. The dining area feels old and unpleasant. The whole atmosphere of the hotel is depressing. There is literally nothing to do here — no entertainment, no energy, nothing modern. I honestly don’t understand how this place has such a high rating. The hotel looks like it hasn’t been renovated since the 1990s. Everything — from the furniture to the decor — feels outdated. Maybe this place would be fine for people in their 70s or 80s who just want a quiet place to sit, but for anyone younger who expects comfort, cleanliness, and a nice experience — I do not recommend this hotel at all. It’s a waste of money.

Really beautiful and clean rooms. I stayed here when on a work trip. Multiple places to eat. Room service and valet available. I don't gamble but the casino floor looked well run. The only complaint is there is a smoking section in the casino and that smell travels throughout the entire floor. No smoking in or near the hotel rooms though. No children allowed. Nice pool.

Mt. Airy casino was kind to me during my visit. Had the buffet with some other family members and we really enjoyed it. Baked and fried fish, shrimp, excellent soup, fried chicken that was nice and moist. Peanut butter cake and ice cream for desert. Had so much can't remember everything. Dinner buffet was 40 dollars a person. I would encourage everyone to give it a try. Next stop was the casino floor. Soon as I walked out of the buffet I found an older quick hits machine that was screaming at me to play it. Played for an hour and walked away 300 dollars up! Of course I lost all of it by the end of the night. Had a great time and broke even.

We did a one night stay at this property and it's supposed to be an adult only casino... There's no entertainment for adults, no night clubs and the joke of what they call entertainment is setting up a few plastic cubes by the poker bar and have two people singing that you can barely hear. This place is filled with cigarette and marijuana smokers, my wife and I had to wear a mask. Totally disgusting. I would never recommend this place to anyone and do not plan on ever going back. Tom

I did not stay in the hotel, but the casino was one of the worst I have ever seen. First, the air quality is beyond poor, if you're a non smoker who values your lungs, this is not thr place for you. They have a no smoking section, but you would never know it, thr ventilation system is inadequate. Many machines are not just old but damaged. Card slot and entry keys not working on 75% of machines I played. Really couldn't review much as my lungs were irritated and my clothes smelled like smoke. Will never go there again

Pocono Premium Outlets is a great stop for shopping and a relaxed outing. The outlet has a wide variety of stores covering many popular brands, so there’s something for everyone — from clothing and shoes to accessories and more. The layout is easy to navigate, and the entire place feels clean and well-kept. One of the best parts is the plenty of parking — we had no trouble finding a spot even on a busy weekend. There are also a few food trucks parked outside offering quick bites, which is convenient when you want a break from shopping. I also noticed a small playground area for kids, which is a thoughtful addition for families. Overall, Pocono Premium Outlets offers a good mix of shopping, casual food options, and family-friendly touches. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Excellent large Outlet mall! Tons of stores and something for everyone. Public restrooms and tons of free parking. We appreciate that the walkways are covered and protected from the rain. Some places don’t offer low “outlet” pricing, but there are lots of deals and good prices if you look around.

The Pocono Premium Outlets offers a vast variety of great outlet stores and a few restaurants. The mall was very clean and had plenty of available parking. I’d certainly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for some outlet stores with great deals!

You need a whole day atleast. Good selection of stores. Beautiful location. Didn't get a chance to check out food options.

Good evening Google Family. I visited to purchase some jackets and some much needed footwear. I visited the Five Below first to see if they had blue light glasses and they did. April, the associate, helped me to find them. I purchased three pairs on the self checkout, and paid cash for them. Then I left and used the rest rooms. They were clean and neat. Then I searched for a place for footwear. I need shoes badly. I have enough sandals. I need shoes for the fall and some boots. I spotted Famous Footwear. I have purchased many shoes and sandals from this merchant. I found a pair that I liked, I tried them on and I decided to go with the 10 size instead of the 9 1/2. My shoe size is 9 1/2 but I felt the 10 would be more comfortable on my toes. I tried them on, both of them, went with the 10 and then I paid for them, by debit card. Katelyn was the Assistant Store Manager and she was very nice and efficient. They had places to sit to try on the shoes in the front of the store. Also I looked on the clearance racks, but I didn't find anything interesting. I would visit this location again. I had a good experience here. Have a great night Google Family, workout, be healthy, fit and fabulous!!!! The shoes that I bought were $59.99. Have a good night, Family!!!! I decided that I have enough jackets to wear.

Pocono Premium Outlets is an absolute shopper’s paradise! The prices are fantastic, making it easy to score amazing deals on quality brands. The variety is incredible — from clothing and shoes to home goods and accessories, there’s truly something for everyone. The stores are well-organized, the staff is friendly, and the whole shopping experience feels relaxed and enjoyable. Whether you’re hunting for bargains or just browsing, this place is worth the trip!

This place has seen better times. You see the parking lot full of cars but I don't know where people are. You walk into the stores and see more employees than customers. Customer service is nonexistent in many big stores like Calvin Klein where I walked in and saw a group of employees talking between them and nobody greeted us or offered to help. I was a few minutes browsing the shelves and left without buying and without any of the employees asked us at any point if they could help us. Another issue with this outlet is that some time ago they had printed directories of the stores and their location within the mall and they stopped printing them. I do agree with saving money and benefit the environment by not printing those guides but they should be more billboards to help customers find what they're looking for. Billboards exist but not in sufficient numbers so you have to unnecessarily walk around which is not good if weather conditions are bad. The directories you can find online on a format that you can download and print are not accurate. Some stores are not longer open while others have changed their locations.

Had a great time. Went down the 1000 ft. line since the 4000 ft. line was not operating. The mountain slide was okay. You too Groupon off you want a deal on tickets.

Will never stay here again. Booked a room with a balcony, got a patio on the first floor looking at a brick retaining wall and electrical boxes. When asked, was told it could be a balcony or patio. Can't seem to find that disclaimer anywhere. But the best part was the mold in the room. I have COPD and couldn't under why my lungs felt bad. Didn't notice the mold until the morning we checked out. When I mentioned it to the front desk, her response was I'll call maintenance. No apology, no discount. NOTHING. OH, and let's not forget the late night text, after midnight, regarding our valet parked truck. Came in and nobody at the valet desk. Gave key to the front desk but apparently that wasn't communicated to the correct person. Hence the text, claiming an issue with our vehicle. My husband, in a panic, heads to the desk at 6am to find out everything was fine. How about a text saying that. Plus, they don't answer the phone when you call the front desk. Wish I could share the mold pictures...and our shitty patio view.

I was there last weekend, a very large ski resort, it has everything, a variety of parking from $12, which is a little far, to $35, which is right at the entrance, lots of very nice staff, always providing excellent service with a smile, the guests on site were also very nice, everyone helps if someone falls. We were there on the last weekend of the season, so there were only 3 lifts, but the variety of trails is wide for all levels, ages, etc., I will definitely go back there next year, there is a bar and restaurant inside the site (a sports bar like that) it was amazing, great prices and good quality! In conclusion: it is suitable for all types of people, young people, couples, families, etc. A very interesting place worth trying!

Oh all the staff are so friendly and helpful!!! So absolutely amazing!! They had activities for the kids too! One night was a magic night with a magician! Then they had arts and crafts and last but not least a person who came to talk about snakes and actually brought live snakes!!! Amazing! All of the staff super awesome to the kiddos and just wow!!!

I should have read the reviews beforehand, as all the negative feedback turned out to be true. I’ve never been to a ski resort where I had to pay for parking, and the prices were outrageous: $45 or $50 for premium parking. To make matters worse, I later discovered a hidden/further $12 general parking lot which was not offered from the beginning. Buying tickets online is cheaper than in person, but the process of creating an account is unnecessarily complicated—be prepared for the hassle. Costs were steep across the board: $120 for the lift ticket, $70 for rentals, $50 for parking, and $25 for food/drinks. The resort’s operations were disappointing. Only 1 out of 2 magic carpets was working, and several lifts were down, creating long lines with no staff to manage the flow where two lines merged into one. Seating areas were scarce, both for resting or simply leaving your gear while entering bars or restaurants. The slopes were fantastic in the morning but became dangerously icy in the afternoon. The only positive thing was that the employees help with putting on your boot rentals. While the resort is large and can accommodate a lot of people, it leads to overcrowding, making it difficult and unsafe to navigate the slopes with so many people falling. For the price, the comfort and experience do not match the cost.

We had a great time snowboarding at camelback. It’s about 2 hours from the city and 20-30 minutes from the Poconos. We went on Saturday and was pretty busy - as expected. But the rental section was very organized and efficient. The prices do go up closer the the date , so I recommend buying your tickets in advance ! The lift lines were about 10-15 minutes wait time. trails were well groomed but got icy towards the late afternoon. Really cool lodge on top of the mountain with nice views , good food & drinks. There’s even live music in the main lodge at night.

Nice park. Everything was chill and smooth. Rides were good and my kids enjoyed everything. The only thing that was a big problem was the fact that my wife and I waited in line for more than an hour to order food at the bar for our kids. It was really annoying watch 1 person try to service the bar and the guests ordering food. She handled everything professionally and quickly but it's sad that she had no help.

I'm so disappointed. I went with my husband and 2 kids we went because my son wanted to go for his bday which is 9/3 which clearly they are closed which is understandable this is why we went on 8/31 we got there early so we didn't have any issues with waiting on long lines . If you ask me the price for parking is absolutely insane $12 to park far away $35 if you want " mid " way and $40 dollars of you just wanna walk up about 15 or so steps 🤦 so before we even enter the park we are already paying $40 for parking . Then we purchased 4 day passes which was about a hundred and 40 something I believe my husband said . Anywho so the temperature showed it was about 69 going up to 73 I believe so yes the sun was shining and hiding because it kept coming in and out . So first we walked over to the lazy river 🥶🥶🥶🥶 omg that water was absolutely freezing cold I don't know how people were even in the water freezing there behinds but I just couldn't it's a " Lazy River " not a frozen riven you are supposed to go in and just relax . Alot of life guards had on sweaters everywhere you looked there were people wrapped with towels because it was so 🥶🥶🥶🥶 you just couldn't enjoy the water . Then we walked over to the Olympic pool we walked in and pretty much wet our legs because it was so cold you couldn't even swin and enjoy it . Then we tried the wave pool 🤦🤦🥶🥶🥶🥶 another area of water that had freezing cold water . Which completely sucks because you pay money to go to a water park you figured the water would be enjoyable but nope that's not the experience we had . So while I was shivering on a beach chair wrapped in my towel I decide to call guest services to see if anything could be done . So I explained how we paid money to park and enter the park and we aren't able to enjoy ourselves because everything is extremely cold is there some type of compensation we can receive maybe some type of discount to return next summer but I simply got told NO ! once your ticket is scanned there really isn't much that can be done . So I told the guy so basically we spent almost $200 to come in and just touch cold water he's like a there's nothing we can do . And don't get me started on the price of the snacks in there 🤦 talk about highway robbery a bag of m&m was $6.00 freaking bucks for a regular small bag a small bag of chips was like $5.00 bucks 🤦 a small drink from the fountain machine was $2.50 smh . It really sucks that we went and drove 2 hours to come and enjoy this park and that's the last thing we did because the water was way to cold to enjoy . So that is why I'm only leaving 1 start because we were extremely disappointed and my son did not get to enjoy his bday after we traveled for about 2 hours . So we came back home disappointed.

Camelback Outdoor Water Park is an absolute blast! The park is huge, with a wide range of water themes to enjoy. Some of the highlights include: - *Wave Pool*: Perfect for swimming and playing in the waves - *Lazy River*: A relaxing way to float along and enjoy the scenery - *Kiddie Pools and Splash Pads*: Great for younger kids to play and cool off - *Changing Rooms and Bathrooms*: Conveniently located throughout the park - *Food and Drinks*: Plenty of options available, including Rita's Water Ice for a sweet treat - *Comfortable Seating*: Huge umbrellas and lounge chairs to relax and recharge One tip: bring your own towels to ensure you have enough to dry off and relax. Overall, Camelback Outdoor Water Park is a fantastic place for kids (and kids at heart!) to spend the day. With its many attractions and amenities, it's an ideal destination for families and groups looking for a fun-filled day of splashing around and soaking up the sun.

Staff is very friendly and professional. Rides are well-maintained. Parking seems a bit on the expensive side ($12, $30 or $40), but whatever. Great variety of food stands.

Great outdoor water park. The kids loved it. I highly recommend renting a cabana for the day as it used it to take a break and get lunch and to rest in between all the rides.

It is great that they are doing Fireworks Fridays this Summer! Open to the Public at 7:30pm and typically piared with some kind of entertainment leading up to the Fireworks. Enjoy some Rita's, Beer, and food and have.an enjoyable evening with the family.

This place is crowded like crazy on Sundays. DO NOT GO! Price is cheap but that makes the crowd VERY HUGE. Line is about 1hr wait so we bought the $30 express pass. BUT! Express lane has the same lane as the normal lane, we had to ask people to move away to go through the line. PEOPLE LITERALLY THOUGHT WE WERE CUTTING THE LINE and they were mad. We had to explain. And it’s frustrating and embarrassing. Aside from that, the slides were fun. Side note: I would suggest going to other water parks, unless you want to save money.

The boulder field was fun to climb around on and bang on them. Not all boulders ring, but the ones that do have different pitches and tones. Was neat to hear how different they sound from one another. The hike to the waterfall was short and pretty easy. The waterfall was beautiful. Felt great going under it and letting the cold water wash over you.

Beautiful park to explore. Kids have a great time hitting the large rocks to hear them ring. There is a waterfall near the rocks however it has been dry the past few times we visited over the course of a few years.

C'mon it's a cool place. Bring a hammer and have some fun. Maneuvering on the boulders can be tricky, so wear good sneakers or hiking boots. The loop trail is rocky and short. I would suggest making your way down to the creek bed and then work your way to the falls...which may not exist certain times of the year. You would then need to climb a few rocks to get back up to the trail. The creek bed at the top of the falls is interesting to see. It's slippery so be careful. We hiked up from the lot on 32 to gain some incline.

We loved this place, they have sequoias all around, which made the place feel even more peaceful. There is no Wi-Fi but they do have cable which my husband was happy to get. Cell phone service was limited and or sporadic. If you want to detach and be in a beautiful place, we highly recommend you come.

My whole life of living in PA and I finally got to ringing rocks. Such a cool place to just relax and enjoy nature and with some really cool sounds. If you don't remember to bring a hammer, there was a box of them you could borrow by the map. Mind you, Please be careful when climbing over the bigger rocks. I almost lost my shoe.

This was so fun!! Pretty small park, good for an afternoon when you just wanna go see something fun and walk around a little but not do a massive hike. They have a box of hammers at the front of the park if you forget your own! Easy drive from Allentown

Very nice. Beautiful rocks. Bring a hammer and a good pair of climbing shoes 👟. If it is a sunny 🌞 day bring water as navigating the rocks is cumbersome and there is little shade if you try to reach the best ringing rocks.

This is a great spot! Its quite large, many, many shops to meander through. Many are crazy expensive so its not your every day shopping experience but there is a ton of variety including a little something for everyone's taste and budget. We came for the scarecrow festival and did eat and shop while we were here. Spent the whole afternoon. It was quite busy and parking was a challenge but we did find some. Definitely recommended for a day out with family or friends.

You just can't go wrong here. We've been coming here for over 20 years and it's just done right. I think one of the greatest places you can go is the village itself. It's free. You don't have to pay for anything and you can just walk around and have the option to shop or dine. Sometimes the beauty of this place is just that. Walking among the shops and enjoying the nature and especially during season changes. But the other part is the availability of some absolutely incredible places to shop and eat or grab a drink. From sweet spots and bakeries to bougie places to buy clothing and seasonal outfits or even a good old-fashioned hat store and shoe store, you can also get world class koi for your koi pond or have someone build a koi pond for you. There's wine tasting and a Harry Potter themed fantasy store and even an authentic German food and cuckoo clock store. I dare anyone to try to find all of these things in one spot anywhere else in the world. Peddlers gets crowded for a reason but somehow it always seems like a bustling paradise.

This is a perfect half / full day trip from New York or New Jersey, in PA! We have been to Peddler’s village 5 times in the last 1 year. It has an old place charm, shops, restaurants, gardens and beautiful walk ways. They always decorate the place based on the season/festival or holiday. The shops here offer by unique and different products. There is ample parking and is wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend for young family and actually people of all ages. We especially enjoy stores like Sticky Situation- which the most amazing variety of natural flavored honey, cookery ware shop, pop corn shop, Fehrenback Black Forest clocks shop that transports you to Germany, knobs n’ knockers, the cloak and wand and What’s in a Name where we bought some of the oldest original maps of the world and name history.. check it out

Stroll an enchanted Village and sip tasty beverages. Find perfect gifts in 65 specialty shops and boutiques. Enjoy fine dining or casual fare in your choice of restaurants. Ride a 1920s carousel and play in the arcade. See a magnificent display of gingerbread houses. Spend the night in our elegant country inn. And enjoy the company of the people you love. For 63 years, visitors have followed the winding brick pathways of Peddler’s Village to experience exceptional dining, lodging, events, and distinctive shopping. With the variety of locally owned stores — clothing and accessories shops, toy stores, candle sellers, booksellers, art and artisan galleries, candy stores, Village swag and much more — shopping at Peddler’s Village is much more than a quick click or a simple transaction; it’s a highly enjoyable personal adventure, complete with holiday fun, helpful conversations, and memorable discoveries. Spend an hour, an evening, or several days exploring our charming Village. You’ll be glad you did.

We took a ride out there on Thursday October 2nd, since it’s a beautiful day and we had time. Unfortunately we didn’t expect the place to be mobbed, including restaurants. Apparently schools in the area were closed. But at least the scarecrows didn’t disappoint!

This was a place I've been meaning to visit, I learned about it last year. Saw a video on YouTube which reminded me of it and today finally made the trip.1st parking is free there multiple locations where you can park. This beautiful area offers a variety of different shops, eateries and beautiful sand sculptures. Stepping into this unique place is walking into another world which makes a great idea for a day trip specially on a nice summer day. Area has beautiful well maintained landscapes benches available to sit and relax. Definitely add this cool place to your bucket list, definitely one of the most beautiful places I've visited definitely recommended. If you're driving from nyc like I did, it was under two hours. There's also a area that offers games like arcade, play area for kids, merry go round. Definitely family friendly environment, also pet friendly. Restrooms are also available here. They also host different events throughout the year, so visiting at different seasons will feel like a different place.

A very Hallmark village during Christmas season, both during the day and at night! Lots of fun shops, lots of good bites. Family friendly.

I was captivated by the exterior of Mercer Museum, and stepping inside was a must! The real treat was being able to explore almost the entirety of the building, immersing myself in Mercer's extraordinary collection. His vision was truly unique. It's an experience that defies description; you simply have to see it for yourself to appreciate its wonder.

Not quite what I expected, but it was an enjoyable self guided tour. The location is in a beautiful section of town. The building is quite majestic from the outside as you approach. The inside is more of a museum of past tools that were common trades in the day, wagons and heating stoves. There is even an old vertical saw from an old mill inside. The only 2 issues I had was the inventory numbers on just about every item ( as it seems ) that take away from its historical reminiscent value. The other issue is had was that there was nowhere near enough signs that tell you about interesting items that you are looking at. And those signs are not necessarily at the items. Overall it was a nice experience and worth the ticket price for the 2 of us.

This museum deserves more public attention and the 20 dollars admission fee totally worth it. The collection displays how people a century ago live and prosperate and reminds us how rapidly the technology evolves. 1.5 to 2 hours is needed and simply allowed to walked through all the windows.

This place is unbelievable! So much to explore, look at and read about. The building alone is so interesting. Very informative staff throughout. Don't miss the library. It is gorgeous. Easy to spend hours here! Well worth the visit.

If you are into history and have an afternoon spare, Mercer museum is the spot for you. It has a very good collection of items that showcase the day-to-day life of early Pennsylvanians. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the price. At $20 a ticket, it's a bit steep, but not overly so. I was still pretty shocked though when we were told the $40 entrance fee for two of us, but that's inflation for you.

What an incredible tour! The castle is a masterpiece on its own, and the collections inside are unlike anything we’ve ever seen. My husband and I loved exploring it at our own pace - absolutely worth the visit.

A very interesting museum — we've never seen exhibits placed on the ceiling and all over the walls before, it's extremely unusual. It's stuffy on the upper floors, but there are large fans running in some areas, so you can cool off near them. The staff is incredibly polite and shares fascinating stories about the museum's history. I highly recommend this place. There’s so much to see that you’ll need hours to explore all the household items, crafts, and more. We specifically traveled to this small town just to visit this museum.

Not a great casino. Was there about 20 years ago and went again in 2025. Need players card to order drinks. Must play $5 to order and can only have one drink every 30 minutes. At least 40 slots broken. Casino is half smoking as well.

Came to this casino for the first time. At the entrance the security was very rude & disrespectful. 0 starts deserved earned at an entertainment service business before even entering the casino.

What a night with lots of luck and fun

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

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

Reserved a room for Friday Night May 11. Arrived to check-in only to be rudely informed By an employee at registration desk that despite having an itinerary Number with a Confirmation Number confirming our reservation, They were over booked and they had no rooms available. After 15 minutes of waiting the hotel manager (I guess as she never Identified herself) rudely offered to shuttle us to another hotel off site. I recommend not wasting your time visiting the Sand Casino. Your better off visiting another resort.

Wasn't allowed to bring my 20yr old son through the casino to eat at Emeril's Burgers and More. Don't know why security couldn't escort us to the restaurant. Last thing we wanted to do was waste money on the slots. All we wanted was a bite to eat. Security said the only option was the food court. Definitely not worth it.

So cool. You can walk next to the old steel factory on a ramp. Came during a food and music fair that I had no idea was going on at the time. Supposed to cool during Christmas so I’ll come again during the holidays. Enjoyed foot and music. And just one drink. I was too sleepy for more.

This is a very interesting place!! We love how they took something old, and not being used anymore, and made a venue!! We would love to see more places like this, rather than being torn down!! Preserve the history and let others be amazed by it!! My husband worked in a much smaller steel mill for 42 years and his dad worked at Bethlehem steel in Texas!! Very interesting!!

I traveled through this city and I definitely made the right choice visiting this place. There’s plenty of parking, and the site is truly grand and impressive. You can really feel the historical greatness of the city’s steel industry here. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful. It’s a perfect spot for taking photos, and best of all — there’s no admission fee.

I'm not a huge fan of the industrial era, but this is a fascinating piece of history and interesting landmark. It's too bad that the native Americans that own it won't give it at least a spray coating to protect it, but I can understand their viewpoint. If you get the chance, I recommend one of the walking tours, where if you are lucky, you will have it led by one of the guys that used to work there.

Truly an iconic place to visit! The walkway and staircase is so beautiful. Amazing garden with curated plants. The juxtaposition of nature and industrial is stunning. The bethlehem steel is one of my favorite things about bethlehem!

This was along the outside walk, where we climbed the stairs and viewed the aging steel works. Very interesting to see it at night - both surreal and quiet with the light casting shadows. The scope and size of the structures is impressive. Information placards and tidbits add to the sights I'd suggest stopping by to see this to anyone in the area

Such an otherworldly feeling to the old steel works. Nice way to spend an hour or so walking around these huge hulking industrial edifices. Then it’s a 5 minute drive into Bethlehem itself for drinks, food and shopping. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …………………………………………………………………………………………

I do not recommend this tail to anyone who wants to have fun. This trail and waterfall use to be so fun to bring my kids to have lunch and hang out for the day. Now there are 1,000 rules posted on every tree where you’re not allowed to do anything except stare at the trees. Rangers are super rude and ignorant. Drove an hour to only stay for 30 minutes because you can’t do anything

Falls are nice. A little busy and a little muddy when we went. The experience for us was a little marred by the tens of posted signs which prohibited just about anything our active daughter tried to do along the route. Luckily, there are other areas of Hickory Run which allow such behavior. Just be prepared to reign in your young ones constantly since this area would be wonderful to wade, climb, jump, and picnic at.

Waterfall and trail to get there are great. Despite there being signs everywhere to stay out of the water and stay on the trail, many people, to include parents with their kids, went in the water and off the trail. Hard to take pics of the falls with them in the way.

Easy hike, great for beginners or families, but it’s a rocky path and sometimes can be muddy, so be prepared. The view at the end is well worth it. One of my favorite spots!

It’s beautiful falls offered by nature in hickory run state park area. Parking is accessible , easy to park in and out. There were rangers posted to help redirecting the cars when one place is overflow. The one stare reduction due to there is no swimming , no picnicking , or not into waters if you bring your kids and wanted to get into water then there is no option for you. I understand the risk involved but still the place is irresistible to take a dip 🙂. Other wise the trail length to reach the falls is easily doable by many including small kids. The trail itself has not been paved and rocks , pebbles , muddy (not too bad)

Most definitely a must see waterfall, this is truly an easy trail. We have a 3 and a 5 year old - it was a breeze for them to go down and come back. I think the trail is 1.2 mi to the waterfall. Once you follow the trail and what seems like you got to the dead-end, follow the sign to the right to see the waterfall!

Such a beautiful waterfall . We loved the hike also . Highly recommend to check this place out . We had an amazing experience to do a praise dance for God in his creation .

1st time I camped here I had am amazing experience but the 2nd time I had a bad experience so im giving this place 2 and half star. We rented Camp group site C for and bought firewood and charcoal and used there BBQ grill. I spent totel of about 1000$ for a 1 night camping experience. For a large group. First off, The view was amazing. ( could of been better) The service at the front office is amazing. The camp ground workers are horrible and lazy. The security and camp ground police are amazing and respectful. I felt very safe. Things that PISSED ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right in front of the camp tents are 2 giant trailers ruining the entire view. I asked the camp ground workers to move it and they said no because they cant move them. So now I paid 700 bucks to stare at trailers all day long when I could of stared at the mountain and nature. Also when we were playing infront of the tents, we had to crawl under the trailers to get the ball and Frisbee. It was annoying to deal with. They could of parked it anywhere else. Even 15 feet to the left and it would of made the world of a difference. The portable bathroom that they had near the site was extremely Dirty!!!!!! You can tell no one cleaned it in weeks. No toilet paper and pee everywhere. We just drove to the base of the camp to use the bathrooms at the office. The ziplining and rope course and summer adventure stuff opens at 10 and close at 4!!!!! Which means after we checked in at 3pm we couldn't even do the activities except for taking the lift up the mountain. This place is designed for people who go camping for multiple days. Not good for camping 1 night!!!!! The garbage bins were clean and the campfires were nice and organized. The grass was cut good. The tents were beautiful. Showers were clean. The parking lot is spacious. The view from the Summit was amazing. The stargazing at night was breathtaking. Overall I was going to give it 2 stars but because I had a good experience the first time I gave it 2 and half stars. The camp ground workers ruined the experience for us. I wish I could of went to another camping resort and tried other place instead of this place.

Nice atmosphere, our waiter, Conner was excellent and friendly. He was great. The food was at best, mediocre. It was our first visit and will return in the hopes that the menu items will improve. Cocktails were also excellent.

Great experience. They let you pick your own Tent site if you are early enough and it isn’t crowded. I definitely recommend camping here. I also tried the restaurant out and it was really amazing and fairly priced.

Blue Mountain Resort is a fantastic winter destination with plenty of activities for all ages. The skiing and snowboarding trails are well-groomed, offering options for beginners and experienced riders alike. The lifts are efficient, and the staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. One of the highlights of our visit was the tubing area. There are three hills dedicated to tubing, and unlike many other resorts, they were not crowded at all. This meant little to no wait time, allowing us to go down the slopes multiple times without long lines. The runs were fast and exciting, making it a perfect activity for families and groups looking for some winter fun.

seemed to be a great spot for the winter with a lot of outdoor space/ bar area right on slopes. Food was just okay for the price. Would recommend if at mountain

We came here for mountain biking race. The event was well organized. It was different to see it in the Fall. My family used to come here in winters and skied so many times that it has a dear spot in my heart. Now we have another reason to visit it!

I went to a wedding there on May 25th 2025 and it was hands down one of the best venues I've ever been to. Gorgeous views and a beautiful lodge. Staff was great as well

I think I've had more fun reading the reviews and comments than my actual visit. The Quakertown Farmers Market or the Q Mart as locals refer to it, is a local institution. Yes, maybe an ode to days past, but there are good aspects and yes, some negative aspects, but it is an experience. The kind of experience depends on your state of mind, and reference of experience. If you come to the market expecting the freshest of fruits and vegetables, farm to table meats, the latest in fashion, nouveau cuisine, guess again, that's a big fat nope. It's more of spectacle, a flea market if you will, where vendors hawk various wares, some fresh, some not so, some old, some new, some used, some that have seen better days, so I say in advance, buyer beware. There are baubles, doodads, trinkets, chatchkes, collectibles, dribbles and drabs of everything under the sun. Yes, you can find produce here, it's not the freshest, or locally sourced, but its here. There are restaurants of every persuasion to add to your caloric, if not not diabetic misery, some of them are delicious, and some...are just meh. On weekends, it can be crowded, you'll shuffle among the crowds, kids, parents, walkers and wheelchairs, oh my. Everyone once in a while, you get a glimpse of a real artisan, selling an authentic items, and at others, it's mass merchandise, some past or at the sell by date, secondhand, traded in items or a previous generations fashion choice. It is a kaleidoscope, a mash up, a carnival of goods. Its all relatively cheap, relative and cheap being the operative words. There are smells of fresh baked goods, fried foods, incense, body odor and a general dankness. I've visited here several times and there are few places like it. Sometimes I come for the Amish pastries, at others random tshirts, phone charger cables, or batteries for my watch. It's one of those places, that you just never know what your reach into your pocket to pay for. The Q Mart is always a mystery, wrapped in a riddle to me, like that box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Sometimes just people watching is enough. Oh, and pro tip, drive slowly through the parking, between the people and potholes, you don't want to be surprised. Should you go? Oh by all means, leave your high expectations behind and surprise yourself with what you'll find, or not find. It's one of the most base human experiences you'll find, whether you enjoy it or not, well that's up to you.

Very nice place to go. They have places where you can find just about anything you want. I was able to find cheap Eagles things also.

I've been to the Q-Mart 9 times. And it's great. Nice layout. I like Record Revival. They have a very big selection in music. The food at the Q-Mart is very good. Especially the pizzas and the cheese steaks.

Thank you for your support for Homeless to Independence inc. Also the great turn out every weekend you folks are the bestest. Great sales this weekend keep coming back thanks 🤗🤗😊😊😁🥰 open Friday Saturday and Sunday we also are selling outside in the flea market Awesome sell. A lot of new changes come out and see for your self

I grew up with something similar to this we called "The Auction" that was the exact same indoor round about of vendors, shops and food stands. Plenty to look at here if you are into a little thrift shopping, bargain hunting or looking for odds and ends. Haven't been through the outside part of it much. If you're looking for a place to just walk around and shop you will likely get much of that here. My personal issue is that the hallways are a little cramped and can't really walk more than three people side by side.

This place has so much to offer! There is something for everyone here. Video game stores, rugs, blankets, jewelery, vintage toys, vintage furniture, bikes, pets, crystals, vacuums, etc. Most vendors are pleasant and helpful. There are also restaurants serving food and drinks.

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

🌟🌟🌟½ Fun stop but a bit of a mixed experience Country Junction calls itself the “World’s Largest General Store,” and it definitely lives up to that in terms of size — it’s huge and packed with all sorts of things. From home décor and seasonal items to candy, toys, and quirky gifts, there’s a lot to browse. It’s fun to wander around, especially if you’re with kids or just want a break on a road trip. That said, it felt a bit cluttered and overwhelming at times, and some sections seemed more like a warehouse clearance than a charming general store. Prices were hit or miss — a few good deals, but other items felt on the higher side for what they were. The place also has a petting zoo and arcade, which adds to the experience, though those areas looked like they could use a little upkeep. ✅ Fun to explore once ✅ Lots of variety, good photo ops ⚠️ Prices can be high ⚠️ Could be cleaner/more organized Overall, worth a visit if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way just for this.

Fantastic experience! We visited Country Junction with our girls this past weekend. Because of our little one’s nap time, we had to go towards the end of the day. It was not crowded, there were no wait times to get on any rides, which was great! But on top of that, the staff was incredibly pleasant. You would think after being in the hot sun all day, they would’ve been grumpy, but not even close! Every single staff member that we encountered was above-and-beyond helpful and kind. My husband and I were blown away, as it is hard to find good customer service nowadays. The owner of Country Junction is the sweetest person ever too, so I’m sure the employees get their values from her. We had an absolute blast, and the kids of course loved all the buttons inside the store too. Truly a magical day… we will be back soon!

Love love love this place so much! We came in just to relax and drink some wine and the service did not disappoint. Absolutely loved the blonde girl working she was the sweetest. We originally just wanted a tasting but she was so amazing she talked us into buying 2 bottles of the delicious raspberry wine. So glad she talked us into it because as soon as I got home me and my husband drank a whole bottle. IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!! We will definitely be coming back and visiting our favorite wine tender and buying more bottles of that raspberry wine. 🍷❤️❤️✨

What a crazy place to stop. They definitely have anything you can think of wanting to purchase for any season. It was well worth my trip up to check it out. If you leave empty handed I’d be surprised! Anything from sauces, seasoning, animals, fish, etc.

This place was OK we went during the day. I wish we would’ve gone more towards the evening so we could’ve seen the carnival rides outside. I’m not gonna lie. It was very overwhelming. It felt like the store was never ending definitely a lot of odds and ends not your typical store. Great pet store. My kids enjoyed seeing the animals and fish.

A wide variety of items from kitchen supplies to holiday decorations, to candy, and hardware. Food court with a variety of favorites. The arcade was fun. Bowling was fun. We were bummed the Fall Festival advertised as open was very limited in what could be done outside of peak weekend hours.

This place is nothing but a tourist trap. It not a country store. I've seen been in dozens of country stores around the country. This looked like a big food store that closed and is now called a country store. Didn't sell hardly any food but for their food court. Had an area that sold jams and jellys. Had a so called yellow brick road that you had to follow. It took you into every area of the store so you wouldn't miss all the nicknacks for sale. There was a small Ace hardware store inside that sold mostly cat and dog food. They also sold dogs and 🐟 fish. There as a small Ashley furniture store inside. The best part of the store was all the candles for sale. Alot of single pieces ( penny candy in the 60s) that were sold by a small container. Mix and match what you wanted. There also was a arcade in an area. We didn't see the petting zoo, looked like it was on the side. Think the food court was well used by the locals in the area.

Absolutely love Swllersville Theater. They have great seats, acoustics in the theater are fantastic. The music sounds great, and the artists/musicians are fabulous. I'm a member of the theater, and I often get a seat at the very front at a table or within a few rows. What's great is? Most artists will go up to the lab after playing and meet with the attendees. Just a few photos.

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

What a gem this Sellersville Theater is for a band to play! The acoustics were amazing, and the intimate setting was so nice versus a huge arena. Everyone of the staff members were friendly, helpful, and seemed to love their jobs. I would definitely go there again for a band.

Nice intimate theater. Small. Close to performer. Seating could be sloped bit more for better view. Good acoustics. Easyvto get to.

Always a great experience there, and the sound last night was outstanding... Anthony Gomes was amazing and 1 word that describes him is ENERGY...

I go to concerts here relatively frequently. It is a cozy theater that books top-notch talent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a bar for drinks and snacks either before the show or during intermission. And if you are so inclined, I also recommend dinner at the Washington House next door before or after a show.

Such a great venue! Intimate and great sound quality. Love this theater! 💗

Galen Glen is a charming, small winery nestled in a beautiful location with stunning views and a scenic drive to get there — definitely part of the experience. Their white wines are excellent, crisp, and well-crafted — perfect for a relaxing afternoon. It’s a smaller setup, so food options are limited and depend on the food trucks available that day. Plan accordingly if you’re looking to snack or stay a while. Still, the peaceful atmosphere, great wine, and picturesque surroundings make it well worth the visit.

Love Galen Glen Winery. We try to make a stop any time we are driving by and load up on a couple cases of wine. I’m a fan of all their German style whites but I’m surprised by something new every time I visit. Great spot for kids and dogs and the food trucks are always top notch. Owners and staff are all super nice, helpful, and knowledgable. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delightful. We went for a tasting and had some amazing wines with a great explanation before each. I left with a case and some gorgeous photos of the stunning vineyards. If you haven't been, you NEED to go.

Came here for a wine tasting and was impressed with the views of the vineyard, great service and fantastic wines! The wine flights were affordable and there are plenty of wines here for a sweet or dry wine drinker to enjoy. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back on a warmer, summer day!

🏅GOLD Medal for service, patience, and kindness!!! 🍷We drove a little while to get here on this hot day of 8.12.2021 and it was nice to be able to sit a few minutes to relax and unwind from the drive 🚗 before starting our wine tasting experience! The place had only two other small groups besides ours and the wine choices are fewer than some other wineries, BUT the wines are excellent!!! 🎉Good Going Galen Glen🍾 We visited Galen Glen a few years ago and it still holds its spot on our chart near the top for one of the best wineries with a nice assortment of excellent tasting wines -dry, sweet, and semi-dry. Try a Taste of the Glen -Galen Glen that is- ...I assure you that you won't be disappointed!!! 😁🍷

The winery has an indoor & outdoor place for sitting that overlooks the vineyard. It's a very nice setting to sit with friends and share some wine. They also allow you to bring your own food to enjoy with their wine.

Good wines! The views are beautiful!
