Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Liberty Bell, last rung in 1846, is a 2,080-pound symbol of freedom with a biblical inscription and a famous crack. It holds great significance as an icon of freedom and independence in America. Located across from Independence Hall on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, the bell offers a perfect view of the historic site. The importance of Independence Hall lies in its role as the location where the Declaration of Independence was signed, making it a crucial part of American history.
Recently visited iconic landmark of Philadelphia Great quick trip. A lot of information in an organized layout. Touched on a the little detail about the bell and it's history, not just the well know information. The staff are all relaxed and knowledgeable to answer any questions and give a little of background information when asked. Close up 360 view of the bell which is great for pictures and videos. You can also see the current bell and the tower that it's in right behind the liberty bell. Nice walking area surrounding to liberty bell museum. If you are in town or leave near by must visit once.

This is something I have always wanted to see, the history is fascinating. I had planned a whole day but there definitely is not enough to keep you busy for the whole day so do research and take in the city, it is unbelievably walkable, easy to navigate and a beautiful city
Andrew S — Google review
The birthplace of the United States Constitution, the Liberty Bell at the Independence Historical National Park is a fun way to spend a few hours exploring and learning more about our country’s history. Surrounded by 18th century architect, visitors can still enter the very same buildings where our founding fathers wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, passed law, and came together as a nation.
Edmund A — Google review
Did not know liberty bell symbolizes freedom to so many people. This place provides good history how Liberty bell services a reminder life is what you willing to fight for. The ranger is very knowledgeable even show us how to take a good “daylight “ shot of the crack from the bottom of the backside of the bell.

The Liberty Bell is a significant piece of US history. The fact that they don’t charge to go in is fantastic cues can be quite long but within 10 to 15 minutes you’re in. Really well organised. A must see if you’re in Philadelphia.
Carlos U — Google review
This was one of the other items that I was blessed enough to check off my bucket list as well. I learned a lot about the history of the bell, as there is a indoor museum dedicated to it.
Rod W — Google review
I didn't think I would like this museum as much as I did but it was surprisingly good. It's free admission, but there was a significant line to get through security. Once inside it's not that large, but the information and stories provided were excellent. I was amazed at how complete a history they gave, highlighting the contradictions of this symbol of freedom while systematically oppressing women and minorities in this country. It's also why I came in the first place, given how we're currently headed down the same path. It's more of a physical representation of our constant struggle for the fractured freedoms and liberty that we all strive for in America.

Liberty Hall is associated with freedom, civil rights, and American independence. It is a famous bell that attracts visitors from all across the globe. Nice place to visit when in Philadelphia.

Eastern State Penitentiary

Mentioned on 
+113 other lists 
History museum
Museums
Eastern State Penitentiary, located in Philadelphia's Fairmount neighborhood, is a gothic-style prison that has been transformed into a popular attraction. The prison once housed notorious individuals like Al Capone and Willie Sutton. Visitors can take tours of the historic cell blocks and explore the haunting architecture of the penitentiary. The museum offers a glimpse into the lives of those imprisoned within its walls, including a look at Al Capone's lavishly furnished cell.
I’ve attended both a daytime tour and Terror Behind the Walls on separate occasions, and each visit was incredible. The guided daytime tour shared fascinating insights into the prison’s influence on the criminal justice system, and Terror Behind the Walls—both times—was an unforgettable experience. The option to be tapped by staff for access to hidden passages added an extra thrill that was absolutely worth it. Even with light sensitivity and a nervous system prone to panic, I found Eastern State to be both accommodating and endlessly impressive. A truly one-of-a-kind experience.
Stephanie — Google review
The eastern State penitentiary is a great self guided walking tour. The tour starts with audio headphones and nine points of interest that you can listen to. However, you can walk at your own pace and get through the museum in roughly an hour.
Carlos U — Google review
One of the coolest and creepiest places I’ve ever visited! The Eastern State Penitentiary is massive, and walking through the old cell blocks feels like stepping into a movie set. The audio guide is honestly the best way to experience this place—it’s super engaging and really brings the history to life. The fact that Al Capone’s cell is here just makes it even more unreal. I ended up spending almost 3 hours exploring because there’s so much to see. If you’re in Philly, this is hands down a must-see—history, mystery, and a little bit of spookiness all in one.
Rana S — Google review
We came to see the Mütter Museum, but we couldn't leave without experiencing Eastern State. This was truly the highlight of our trip. This place is remarkable, and it's difficult to convey just how surreal it felt to be there. We opted for the self-guided tour without audio to fully absorb everything it offers within its quiet, cool halls. We plan to return, as this destination certainly warrants multiple visits.
Mickey S — Google review
This is my third time being in Philly (I feel like it’s pretty rare for tourists to visit Philly three times, but I do love this city). This was a real hidden gem and one of my favourite things I’ve experienced in this city. The audio tour, architecture, and atmosphere is truly captivating. WELL worth the $21 honestly.
Louis Z — Google review
Really cool self guided tour. It’s nicer when it’s not as packed (obviously) so you can spend as much time as you want in each place. The tour is voiced by Steve Buscemi which I don’t know why but that was just hilarious to me. Buy tickets online for a few bucks off the price.
Just J — Google review
This is a MUST-SEE historic place!! Not often you are willing to go into prison at your own will 🫣.... A lot of knowledge obtained with self-guide audio tour.... Incredible architecture, stories, artefak, and the staff are all helpful and willing to answer any questions (very knowledgeable!)
G Y — Google review
Prison known to have housed infamous inmates such as Al Capone and Slick Willie. Did the audio guide tour which was good enough. You learn about the type of prisoners that passed through here; some petty crimes others not so much. The design of the prison is rather interesting. The cells tell a story! Different type of attraction, which is worth visiting.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Mentioned on

Art museum
Museums
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is a grand and iconic space known for its impressive entry staircase and Renaissance masterpieces. Situated at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, it consists of three buildings, including the Rodin Museum and the Perelman Building. Housing over 240,000 artifacts and artworks, such as sculptures, paintings, armor, and decorative arts from various civilizations around the world. The museum is one of the largest and most visited in the world.
It has a beautiful collection of different ages and cultures. Start from the top floor and, most probably, you will spend there most of your day in the museum. There are unique pieces of European Medieval Art, Asian Art, and American period. It's like swimming in the waves from one culture to another. Another thing which is notable about this museum is that it tries hard to recreate the atmosphere of each period and culture through bringing up of their correspondent architectural authentic elements which fills the rooms with distinctive spirit of each place. It's a definitely nice place to visit for Art & Culture lovers.
Aleksei K — Google review
This is a must visit when in Philadelphia. Gorgeous museum filled with inspiring artifacts. There are so much to see , and you can get lost inside, since it was our first time here, it took us a while to figure it out how to exit the exhibits. We had a great time inside the museum , spent hours inside the museum enjoyed everything we saw, only wished we had more time to spend here. Tickets pricing are reasonable with military enter for free at certain times. Friendly and attentive staff. Great location. Can arrive on one of the city bus tours as well.
Starr D — Google review
I haven't been to the museum since I was in 8th grade. The experience of the museum inside was great. No complaints. But upon entering and purchasing my admission ticket, I had tapped my card. On the screen that faced me, it read "approved". But the lady behind the ticket counter told me it was "declined". I thought that was odd considering my side said it wasn't. And she insisted that it was declined. So I tapped my card several more times and then finally on the 4th time it was approved. I found it weird but continued my visit into the museum. As I was getting ready to leave, I checked my bank statement through my app and right there it said I was charged twice for my admission. 2 charges for $30. So I stopped at the ticket counter on my way out and they denied me any kind of help with returning my money, even though I showed them right there On my phone that they had charged me twice for one admission. They told me basically they can't do anything about it and that my bank statement wasn't proof enough basically. And then told me to contact my bank because it wasn't their problem. I thought it was rude and inconsiderate, when they were the ones who charged me twice and the proof was right in front of them. I walked away and immediately called my bank. Thank God they are amazing and saw what the museum did and were able to stop it as a duplicate charge. I really don't know what their (museum staff) problem was or why they were rude about it as if I was not being truthful. Even though I showed them right there, that they charged me twice. So I would pay attention to your bank statements when purchasing your admission tickets. Other than that, the museum is a beautiful place to visit and the rest of the staff throughout the museum was friendly and extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. So I will give 4 stars for the rest of my experience. 😊

Climbing up the grand staircase felt like stepping into an ancient Roman temple! ⛪️ The museum’s interior is full of brilliant design details — even the elevator has a striking, unforgettable look. ✨ Behind it, the Phillips Fountain offers a perfect view of City Hall, making it a great photo spot! 📸 You can also find Monet’s Sunflowers here 🌻 — and learn about the meaning behind the Chinese phrase “Five Blessings Arrive at the Door” (五福臨門), symbolizing happiness, longevity, health, virtue, and peace. 🍀

This museum offers art from many periods that are nothing short of exquisite! There are four floors of exhibits. I recommend to start at the third floor and work your way down. There are stairs and elevators for those who are handicapped. The third floor offers armor, European Art from the Medieval period to roughly 1850 as well as Asian Art. Not only are art pieces displayed, but also parts of buildings to showcase the artful architecture of Europe and Asia. The second floor includes contemporary European and American artworks. Paintings, sculptures, and displays make up most of the floor, each demonstrating the variety of creativity the modern mind can produce. The first floor encompasses the special exhibit and American Art up to the early nineteenth century with and emphasis on Pennsylvania art and furniture. The gift shops are also on this floor, featuring exceptional books, prints, magnets, stickers, and other souvenirs one may take home with them. The ground floor includes some African and Asian artwork from a special exhibit of artistic clothing. The security people did not make you feel uncomfortable (in fact, many were welcoming). Overall, this is a museum that one has to check out if they are in the Philadelphia area. Be prepared to spend four hours there at least if you like looking at every single item!
Cole M — Google review
Fantastic museum with an impressive collection. Third floor Asian and Medieval portions with restored portals, Japanese village, cloister courtyard are simply amazing - a treat for kids and adults alike. Convenient parking across the street.

One of the best museums I've experienced in the states! It's very big, nice, clean, and a lot of collections that you might want to see desperately! And they offer 15$ per adult every Friday night with DJ/ music stuff. Although I think the event is not necessary, however, it's very good to see a museum try to attract different areas of people to come in again to appreciate the pure beauty of arts!

This casino & harness racing track also has restaurants, nightlife & shopping.
It was pretty easy to find; parking was easy and free. I went to the Philly Foodie & Fireworks Festival there, so we walked thru to The racetrack. The inside was decorated beautifully but we didn’t really see much. I want to go back eventually.
Raven S — Google review
I've been here once before, but I'm not much of a gambler. So when I was told that the Philadelphia street food festival was going to be hosted at Harrah's, I was wondering how they were going to pull it off given that the majority of the casino is inside, totally forgetting about the awesome race track out back. The festival was awesome! I posted a few of the photos and videos I took of the event as well.
Corey C — Google review
Enjoyed my time at this casino! Didn’t really win heavy, but enjoyed the time here! Pretty spacious. They also have a horse racing track, but they weren’t running tonight. It’s actually nice here when there’s a big race like the Derby or Preakness. Beer specials and a lively crowd. You can seat outside and watch it on the big screen. Variety of eateries here. Stopp d in Pholly Tap Tavern. Nice! Overlooking the race track as well as the river. Christian and Tara were very polite and conversative! Had the Turkey Club with Fries. Fries were really good! Club was good but so big! Only ate half. Turkey was plain tasting. Not like an Oven Roast, but still good! Also had the Space Dust IPA Beer. Really good! Had a kick to it! Booth seating as well as tables and chairs.

I just left there and every single worker there was friendly, helpful and smiling. We ate at the Philly Tavern and my husband got a cheesburger and I got a Blt and it was delicious. There was a long line at the rewards booth at first but it went quick. Good variety of tables and slots and few places to eat. The horse track is right outside, free parking and nice view of the river.

Fun visit while on a roadtrip from California. Although across from a prison, I felt safe and secure. Security was great and walked around alot watching folks, especially Michael who made himself available to speak to me and addressed questions that I had about the casino. Thank you Michael for being so kind. It cost nothing to be kind. The slots were great and we enjoyed seeing your racetrack. Can't wait to come back.

They freaking removed the Poker Room @ Harrah's Philadelphia because of the Covid-19 Pandemic and replaced the poker room with dumb video poker. What a plenty waste of my time. Didn't spend 1 single cent at the Casino Sunday night and I never plan on going back now. Now, 'OFF' to Atlantic City to enjoy my time at some real Casinos because frankly put you can't truly be called a Casino when you don't have a single Poker table playing Texas Hold'em

Peddler's Village

Shopping mall
Sights & Landmarks
Peddler's Village is a charming, old-fashioned village with 65 shops and an inn that hosts various events and festivals. One of the highlights is Stories in Sand, a summer-long display of larger-than-life sand sculptures depicting beloved stories and characters like Brothers Grimm fairy tales, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, Winnie-the-Pooh, Mother Goose stories, and Alice in Wonderland. Families can enjoy toy-filled sandboxes and free storytime sessions on Saturdays.
It's a great village of shopping fun. If you need some retail therapy, this is your haven. I shopped in a few places and do recommend getting Ice Cream at Nina's, especially in the heat of the summer. Then walk it off by visiting every shop, look around, browse and find that great unique item for yourself or to give as a gift. Stop by Sticky Situation and let the ladies explain the many benefits of Honey and taste the delicious infusions. Can't wait to try the Dark Chocolate infused Honey on Chicken Fajitas😋 Then get your stones and crystals or maybe an awesome sword at Ice Imports. What a place. From incense to Armour and all in between. Don't forget to visit the Visitor Center and meet the lovely ladies, Melissa and Marie. Not only were they helpful and knowledgeable but we chatted about the old country...New York. 😉 They gave us some historical facts on Peddler's Village, explained details about surrounding communities and fun facts about the really cool sand art exhibits and how they can stay in place, even when it rains. Yes, I joined the mailing list because I can't wait for the Fall events and the Scarecrow Competition. There was so much to see and do at Peddler's Village that I need to come.

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.

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.

Valley Forge National Historical Park

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Park
Sights & Landmarks
Valley Forge National Historical Park offers trolley and ranger-led walking tours, making it a great destination for history enthusiasts. The park features miles of trails that allow visitors to explore the Schuylkill River and Valley Creek. The River Trail provides stunning views along the Schuylkill, while the Valley Creek Trail showcases the tributary flowing into the river.
Beautiful, well maintained facilities. One of the best US National parks. Visitor center is really great. Bus tour is cherry on the top during those hot summer days or chilly winter or rain. Great options to do hiking, walking trails, biking, stretching, picnic, pets, anything you want to pursue with nature. Just go for it! And witnessing the struggling era of one of the greatest democracy and harsh stories is so much worth it!! It reminds all of us the value of freedom that we as human beings have during peace time.

I try to get out the Valley Forge national Park at least three or 3 or 4 times during the summer, what a beautiful day to walk the trails and see the sites. I love the history behind us. They have a 5 mile loop in an 8 mile loop they also have trails through the woods and also through the field. This is an absolutely beautiful park. I like watching it through the seasons there’s also an excellent visitor centerwith light snacks, artifacts and some souvenirs. They also have bathroom facilities there.

One of the top historic national parks across America. Extremely well laid out and maintained across hundreds of acres of pristine park land. Only about a half hour from Philadelphia downtown and minutes from the King of Prussia mall. Easily accessible from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, 202 and 422 highways. They have a visitors center and offer trolley tours as well. Miles of very well paved walking trails are in place. Catch some of the most beautiful sunsets in the area. Must visit with family and kids

Place is huge. Plenty of places to park around each monument area if you don’t have time to walk everywhere. Woulda took me hours to talk the whole place. Gotta buy a bike or get good at running to get around whole place. Saw a few wedding photographers and groups taking pics. They kept asking us to move so we weren’t in background. But photographers supposed to know photoshop. I guess it’s cheaper to not do, it idk? But got a lot of steps in here. Some of the cabins have historical stuff also. The visitor center was closed cause the government shut down!!! Had to find another place at Wawa to use the bathroom!!!

Other than the government shutdown, (no restrooms) this place was amazing. We learned so much. We were here the first week in November, colors were beautiful. Not too many ppl, the ones we saw and interacted with were kind and engaging. The park ranger we talked to was kind and very helpful. We did the auto tour and it was exceptional.

I had no idea how large this park is! My family was here on a blustery fall Sunday and the main trail was very busy at 9 am. We did the driving tour because of our young kids and the weather. Having the NPS app was very helpful. The government was shut down on our visit so I can't speak to the visitor's center but would love to come back and see it and chat with park rangers and volunteers. The park itself is beautiful, especially in the fall. It is a lovely place to take pictures and spend a nice day outside.

We visited on a late Sunday morning in late June 2025. There were plenty of parking spots in the visitor center parking lot. There were a few spots that were shaded under trees. There is also a restroom facility here with water fountain and a Bike Rental shed. It was kind of a hike from the parking lot up to the visitor center. We got our NPS passport cancellation stamps first when we walked in. Then we were told the park film was about to start in the adjacent building so we ran up the stairs and outside to the next building. There were a bunch of signs to point you in the right direction but it was not intuitive. The park film is 19-mins long and plays on the hour and half-hour from 9:30AM to 4:30PM. It's a fairly large theater it plays in. We also grabbed our Junior Ranger books for the kids from the info desk so they were working on it during the film. After the film was over we walked back over to the visitor center and back down the stairs. There were some exhibits at the top of the top of the stairs as well but not many. Then explored the gift shop which was quite large and to the left when you walk into the visitor center. They had a lot of merch specific for Valley Forge National Historical Park which was great. We grabbed some pins and a rubber duck. If you walk to the right when you enter the visitor center there is a large exhibit area. It's pretty huge. One of the largest indoor ones I've seen. There are a number of interactive exhibits to keep the kids entertained as well. We walked around and explored and took pictures in here while kids finished junior ranger and played. We turned junior ranger books in and got the badges before we headed out to see some of the sites. We first stopped at the winter encampment which had a number of log huts each with exhibits inside. There was also a reenactor/interpreter in one of them. Good for a 10 min stop. Then we stopped at the National Memorial Arch. We where hear close to noon and it was hard to get a nice photo. The best place was actually form underneath in it's shadow. Sadly there were a number of people here and hard to get a photo with no one else in it. You park at the bottom of the hill and have to walk up to the arch. It is a caved walkway. We stopped next at Washington's Headquarters. There was restrooms here next to parking lot. You walk down the winding path to the Valley Forge Train Station which had a number of exhibits inside. You continue down the path to Washington's Headquarters. There are multiple rooms here to explore and up stairs. The trail is a loop so you goa round and make your way back to the top. The last stop we made was at Washington Memorial Chapel. It just looked so cool on the outside. You are able to walk into the bottom of the tower and look around. There are some signs. There is also a store and cafe in the back of the church but this is an actual church and has services and we were there on a Sunday. Overall this place was huge and we skipped so many things but we were on a tight itinerary and we need to head out. We spent over 2 hrs exploring Valley Forge National Historical Park and I feel we barely scratched the surface.

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.

$$$$affordable
Amusement park
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, located between Allentown and Emmaus, is a top tourist attraction offering over sixty thrilling rides and rollercoasters for the whole family. Established in 1884, this amusement park boasts hair-raising thrill rides alongside options suitable for children. The park also features a large waterpark with wet and wild attractions. Visitors can enjoy live entertainment, special events, and Planet Snoopy for the little ones.
The experience at this amusement park was truly amazing. From the entrance you feel a cheerful and well-organized atmosphere. The attractions are very varied: roller coasters for the most adventurous, family games and special areas for small children. Everything is very clean and well maintained, which gives security and confidence. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help, either to give information or to make the experience more fun. The shows and parades were also a strong point, full of music, lights and color. The food inside the park has a good variety, from snacks to more complete dishes, with reasonable prices for a tourist place. In general, it is an ideal place to spend a different day with family or friends, full of fun, adrenaline and unforgettable memories. I would definitely come back!
Brayner F — Google review
I found it very nice and organized. It's a beautiful park, and the attractions are really fun. A good mix of modern and traditional. Some vintage rides add a special touch. The only thing they urgently need is better integration with the Six Flags system. You can't enter with your ticket through the Six Flags app, even with the All Parks package, as it doesn't work, so you have to wait in a long line at Guest Services. Also, because there's no integration with the SF system, I had to pay for parking and request a refund at Guest Services, or I wouldn't be able to enter, even though I was entitled to the benefit. Anyway, I hope they fix this integration once and for all so I can give them 5 stars.

The family rode 13 different rides 20 total times and we didn't even go to the Water park side . . Lots of fun

While I do love Dorney and always have a great time there, the pricing for food/ drinks is already insane but having to pay almost $40 FOR PARKING, is criminal. The haunt was dope, all the shows and performers were great, (the skeleton crew show) was my favorite though. Lines for the coasters were short, was able to get on everything, even sit in the front. The lines for the "Haunt Attractions" were quite long though. Hopefully pricing becomes more consumer friendly in the future as I believe I had to pay $15 extra in service fees when ordering my ticket online.

I really enjoyed this park , it has a very charming feel to it imo . It's a decent sized amusement park ( I expected it to be much smaller) . The water park portion looked to be really nice as well. The layout is decent here , but there are some steep hills to walk. I was really impressed with Possessed , Steel Force , Talon and Iron Menace. I also loved that Chickie's and Pete's is on the dining plan here!! Also growing up going to Cedar Point all my life it was wonderful to see the Demon Drop still running great and getting to ride it was awesome!!
J — Google review
Overall, the park is really nice and offers plenty of fun attractions. However, I think they should limit the number of guests allowed in each day because it was extremely crowded, and the lines were very long. Some staff members provided great service, while others seemed uninterested in being there. My son had a great time, and it’s definitely a wonderful place for kids. I recommend reserving tickets online, as it’s cheaper than buying at the gate. Some restrooms were clean, but others were smelly and not well-maintained. The park itself is clean overall and has a nice selection of food and snacks, though the food is definitely overpriced. Get the season pass even it’s its first one day you save way more money. You can also bring a friend for 20$.

Dorney Park is always our favorite theme park probably because it's more reasonable compared to to the other park you paid a ticket for dry and water park, We took my sisters family in here for the first time she have 3 young kids and I'am proud to say that they love the water park, her kids is none stop playing on wave pool and lazy river, we came on opening at 11 and we got a nice shaded lounger area, the only downside is the customer service told us that season pass holder can get in early and we did not see anybody by the water park gate that letting season pass holder get in, we got so happy but got disappointed right there, they even put season pass entrance sign but like others we waited till 11 to get in, so this thing is false advertising and reason I only gave 4 star, But as always Dorney park is clean the bath area is decent the bathroom is maintained the best part is the all day dining that me and my kids truly enjoyed thru out the day. I highly recommend to avail all day dining to everybody you will not regret it, and season pass pays off we are coming back again specially on October for their Halloween.

It's clean, friendly environment with descend amount of people in weekend gives you pleasant atmosphere. Hope you visit soon with your family.

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.

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.

Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway: Trademark of the Reading & Northern Railroad

Tours
Train ticket office
Scenic Railroads
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, operated by the Reading & Northern Railroad, is a popular attraction in Jim Thorpe. The train departs from the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey station and offers various excursions, with daily sightseeing tours being the most popular. Passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the Lehigh Gorge, dense forests, shimmering river, and dramatic cliffs as they travel through the Pocono Mountains.
First time on this train and I've got to tell you this was a great train ride! I rode in the standard car and it was really nice. They play old-time music, and the whole thing gave it a nostalgic feel. I would recommend this to anybody, family friends it doesn't matter. The children I saw absolutely loved it. They also have a town that has so many different little shops and antique shops to go to. Across the street from the train is a restaurant that is outside. All the seating is outside and it was great. I would recommend this to anyone!

I recently took the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway train trip out of Jim Thorpe, PA, and it was such a pleasant experience! The ride takes you through some absolutely beautiful scenery along the Lehigh River and deep into the Pocono Mountains. The fall foliage made it even more breathtaking — it’s the perfect time of year to go if you love the colors of autumn. Get there early if you're visiting during peak season — the town and the train was crowded, especially on weekends in the fall. There is no booking in advance option in this period! The train itself has a charming, old-fashioned feel, with both open-air and enclosed cars. The ride lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, and it’s just the right length — long enough to enjoy but not so long that it drags. The narration over the speakers gave us a bit of history about the region and the old railroad line, which added a nice touch without being too intrusive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and boarding was smooth and well organized. Jim Thorpe itself is a lovely little town, so it’s worth making a day of it — grab lunch, walk around the shops, and then hop on the train. Overall, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a great, family-friendly experience that offers a peaceful way to enjoy some of Pennsylvania’s most scenic landscapes. Highly recommended!
Natalia M — Google review
Such a fun and memorable experience! The ride itself was beautiful — you can choose between open-air cars and enclosed cars with windows. The scenery through the gorge is stunning, especially in the fall. The car hosts were super friendly and pointed out interesting landmarks along the way so we could get great photos. My two toddlers loved it! We went on a Tuesday in late October and were able to buy tickets on-site. Arriving about 20 minutes before departure was plenty of time to get tickets, and board comfortably. Definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Jim Thorpe!

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

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

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

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

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

The Steamtown National Historic Site offers a fascinating journey through the history of steam locomotives and their impact on transportation in Pennsylvania. Visitors can explore museum exhibitions featuring locomotives, photographs, and insights into the lives of railroad workers. The site also includes a roundhouse where technicians conduct daily activities and repairs on trains. This 52-acre property features restored steam locomotives, cabooses, freight wagons, and passenger coaches from the early twentieth century.
Great museum we decided to visit spur of the moment. No admission but we did pay $6 a person for a short ride into town and back. So many beautiful engines and train cars from various companies. The staff are so polite and everyone we spoke to was eager to share their knowledge. I was very impressed with cleanliness of the place and you can see that this museum is well cared for. We did not take the short walk to the trolley museum located across from the train yard but we are planning of visiting again in the near future.

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

I was 6 years old the last time I saw Union Pacific Big boy 4012 at steam town Bellows falls Vermont. Steam town Cranston Pennsylvania was awesome to visit. The museum is well put together with a good selection of steam, oil, and diesel locomotives. There is a lot to see, from the parking lot to the round house and the technology museum. I went in November so the cab to 4012 was closed for the season. I will be back in the summer to see the inside of Big boy 4012.

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

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

I’ve been to Steamtown now 3 times. The NPS staff and Rangers are always extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Plenty of Parking, easy to get to with GPS. Museum inside is awesome, outside displays are unique. There are usually daily rides on one of trains, and occasionally longer excursions for a price.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Outdoor Activities
Greek Peak Mountain Resort, located in Cortland, is a popular destination for active families and adrenaline-loving teens. The resort features an Adventure Center with thrilling activities such as a mountain coaster, zip-lines, ropes challenge courses, and the Virtusphere virtual reality adventure. Additionally, visitors can enjoy mountain biking trails, a tubing center, and Euro bungee.
I've been here at least 10 times now. We enjoy ourselves every time. The water park is small compared to other places like great wolf lodge or Kalahari. The smaller park works for me. It may not be suitable for older children or adults. There's a bar and restaurant on sight. Across the street, they have mountain coaster and zip lining. The rooms are nice and they're quiet at night. This is good for a 1 or 2 night stay.

I thought the place was great. Scenic views, a pool, water rides, great food, great staff and the list goes on and on. I did have two issues. In my experience, I had to pay for anything with plastic - no cash. And, my shower drain was clogged and I couldn’t get it fixed until the next day. However, it was great. The staff was awesome. I’m probably going to go skiing there this upcoming winter.
Christopher F — Google review
Very clean, professional and friendly staff. My boys love coming here! We enjoyed the s'mores kit, Starbucks coffee and the Greek Peak Salad. Just make sure to check on the days and hours of the activities to plan accordingly during off season times. We will definitely be returning for the winter activities. Thank you to Hope, the manager for assisting in a slight issue that we had.

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

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

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

So we booked a room for an up come a for Cortland College. Looked amazing looking forward to staying Booked through Expedia. NEVER once had a problem with EXPEDIA. Got a call from the hotel that Expedia overbooked us coincidentally the same time 2 Weddings were going in that weekend and 12 other cancellations had to be made!!! That is just saying they needed the rooms for the wedding guest instead which we booked way back in August. So will never use this Hotel at all. And why didn’t they catch the overbooked rooms back then ??!!!!
Albertina M — Google review
I booked a 3-night stay at Greek Peak Mountain Resort through Groupon for a baseball tournament. The listing gave the impression that room included a kitchen, and we paid over $1,000 expecting a quality room with amenities. The website stated that all suites included kitchens. I phoned to confirm and was directed to an automated attended and when I asked ”Does my room include a kitchen?” the response was “All suites include a kitchen with a full sized fridge.” I went ahead and bought groceries for our stay. When I got to the hotel and checked in, I inquired about the kitchen, I was informed that there was no kitchen. Staff seemed indifferent, stating that some rooms have kitchens, some don’t. When I got inside the room, there was not even a fridge. To make matters worse, another family on our team — who booked the exact same Groupon deal and paid the same price — was given a huge, two-floor suite with a full kitchen and modern furnishings. This is clearly unfair and misleading. The worst part was the attitude of the staff. Not interested in accommodating my children and my needs. I have never posted a negative review but I want to make my experience heard. Would never stay here again, and recommend people avoid this location.

Robert H. Treman State Park, also known as Enfield Glen, is a must-visit destination near Ithaca, NY. The park features a picturesque gorge with stunning waterfalls and a stream-fed swimming hole surrounded by hiking trails and camping areas. While the initial part of the gorge trail is relatively flat and meandering, the northern end offers breathtaking sights including giant waterfalls and epic gorges that leave visitors in awe of nature's beauty.
Absolutely amazing Park!!! The waterfalls are just amazing! And it's absolutely beautiful and you can actually swim in a couple of the waterfall pools underneath the fall. Only when an approved lifeguard is there if you have children. absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend that you make that a definite stop when exploring.

We went here on a weekday. Pretty quite and less crowded on a weekday. The Gorge trail was little treacherous but it was worth it. A great view of the waterfalls. Make sure you do this hike on a pleasant weather. Sunny day might kill you
Ashish K — Google review
Not a popular state parks so we came here with less expectations and were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful hikes. Gorge trail was pretty flat hike. Lots of waterfalls to see till the 115 ft Lucifer falls. We saw folks taking the rim trail too to view the Lucifer falls from the viewing deck. Trail to the swimming hole Enfield Glen falls has a pretty flat trail. Not very crowded too. But swimming was closed when we reached at 4 pm. Folks can take the trail from the lower to the upper entrance but we drove as they have parking lots in both places.
Shruti S — Google review
Starting from the Old Mill, the Gorge Trail is an unforgettable hike through some of the most stunning natural scenery in the region. The trail winds along dramatic rock formations carved by centuries of water flow, with cascading waterfalls and lush greenery at every turn. The stone steps and ledges offer breathtaking views—but also call for good, sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven and slippery in spots. This is a mild to moderate hike that rewards every step with visual splendor. The sound of rushing water and the cool shade of the gorge make it a refreshing escape on a warm day. Whether you're an avid hiker or just out for a scenic walk, this trail is a must-see.
Mavis A — Google review
Well worth the hike to see the upper falls! Take the gorge trail to see the best view of the upper falls. It is a nice hike with lots of stairs, tree roots and rocks. There are about 100 steps when you get Close to the point with the best views... But worth the hike!

With more than 250 shops and outlets to explore, you’ll find everything from trendy boutiques to well-known brands. For those looking for fun beyond shopping, Destiny USA offers an array of attractions that cater to all ages.
This place is huge. Way back in 2016 I came here for my 1st visit as a tourist with a bunch of friends on a road trip we were on together. We all had a blast. There are tons of awesome experiences to be had here. I had a lot of fun engaging with various attractions like Wonderworks, Glowgolf/Minigolf, the Mirror maze, and more. I also remember going into a candy store that had oversized nerds boxes in addition to other bulk items. After eating lunch in the food court later on I ate dinner at this nice dine in restaurant that has a bar in it but I can’t remember the name of it. All I know is that there are plenty of options if you want to get a bite to eat. I never got to experience the movie theater nor half the shops that exist here but I got my fill. I came back here for a 2nd time a couple years ago with someone who is near and dear to me. We had a great time. I took a couple of pictures of the view from one of the higher floors to capture what it felt like to be there both during the day and after sunset. See for yourself!

This place was cool!! Everything was pretty pricey, but I'm learning that's the new mall experience as the malls near me are dying. I didn't buy anything, but spent 2hrs there just soaking it in.

First time visiting Syracuse. Didn't realize there was such a huge mall in the area. We was impressed at the size and the amount of tenants that was keeping the place full. It felt like it riveled the size of the Mall of America. It took us a few hours or so to walk the entire thing. Enjoyed taking the glass elevators for sure. The tunnel with all the lights was pretty cool as well.

Wow! This was the highlight of our two day wine tour. Definitely something here for everyone. The feature a passport tour which has you visiting multiple areas of the operation for tasting. Very good wines and beers. The final stop is their WWII themed brewery that has some awesome beers. The staff are all amazing. The brewery also donates a portion of revenue to veterans which was amazing. We could have spent all day here it’s a real experience. Next tour we will plan to be here for the whole day

I wish I could give them even more than 5 stars! I work at another local winery and wanted to start checking out the other wineries in the area. I went with my husband for my birthday, just expecting to pop in for a quick tasting. 3 1/2 hours later... we left completely in love with the place. Every single wine, beer, and hard cider we tried were absolutely exceptional and beyond delicious. We also got food and coffee at the café which were also fantastic. The customer service was superb, the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I told the manager I worked at a winery nearby and he was so great to us. I wish I got his name but whoever you are thank you so much for a fantastic experience! The atmosphere and decor was brilliantly designed, it felt like going to a theme park for adults! This is now one of our new favorite places and we absolutely will be returning over and over. I will also be sending all of my customers to Three Brothers when they are looking for recommendations for more places to visit!

A wonderful experience! Another trip added to my work family monthly outings. We had a great experience from the welcoming ambience to the excellent customer service. It was a day to relax and rewind. We did the $55 deal tasting for two and it was definitely worth it! Don't forget to get the "BIG ASS PRETZEL" Which could feed a small village! We enjoyed the Poutine(shareable) along with the grilled cheese. Take your girlie (or your boo) and have a good experience in the fingerlakes :)

First time coming here and it was really nice! I did the passport which is a sampler tasting for all locations, and for the price you pay ($40 per person), you get a good amount of wines to try, and if it's just two people then there is a shared passport. There's four different areas that you visit for each samplings that have a unique atmosphere to it, and I can say I enjoyed most of what I got so I do plan to visit another day. There is limited seating so be mindful that you may have to be seated outside, and take your time at each one. There is free water located around some areas as well, and some food that you can buy which I got the pork sandwich and it was amazing! Some of the food items are shareable too, you get a great amount of food for the price you pay. One thing I didn't really like, and don't get why, is that kids are allowed and are just able to run around which makes no sense when it's an adult thing so there's nothing for them to do but watch their parents get drunk!
Caitlin S — Google review
Coming to this winery was an AMAZING experience. I got the single tasting pass (which gave me a flight for each building) and my boyfriend got the non-alcoholic pass (which gave him a non-alcoholic drink in each building). Each building was unique, with excellent service and amazing drinks. We were able to go at our own pace and pick different options. For the price, you get SO much. Each room gave 4, 5 or 6 samples, which gave a lot of different opportunity to try different drinks. My favorite room was Passion Wine because the room was so eccentric and the drinks were delicious. I also loved Bagg Dare, as there was live music and you could sit by a pond. I was worried my boyfriend would not have as good of an experience since he was not drinking, but the non-alcoholic pass gave him really interesting and good drinks in each room and he did not feel left out at all. He even got a soda flight in the Warhorse Brewery room, which he loved. We came here on a trip to the Fingerlakes, as we live around 4 or 5 hours away, and I would honestly take the drive again just to come back to this winery.

Three Brothers was such a lovely experience today. Each tasting “room” had different vibes and themes. The wines were amazing, the homemade soda was top notch. Also the wine slushes were phenomenal . If I could give them more than 5 stars I would, especially since they have an N.A. tasting pass. We love an inclusive environment 🩵

Incredibly impressed with this winery near Geneva! They have four different buildings with different beverage portfolios. I REALLY enjoyed the sangria and cider here. I got a flight of watermelon, mango, raspberry, peach, and original cider. I wish I could buy some cans to bring back with me. Certainly worth a visit. 🍎

I came here Saturday to try out their buffet. Arrived around 5pm and it was busy. After my ID got scanned, I walked to their club to get my membership the head to the buffet. It was a line of customers waiting to get in the buffet, and the room was almost full. After paid the buffet, it took a but for a staff to get us a table, then probably around 10 minutes later, a lady came in to take order for drink. The buffet selection is quite standard, with some salad, fries, chicken, pasta, pizza, taco. There was staff that cut beef brisket or cook some pasta as you order. Food quality overall is not stand out. I enjoy the dessert selection, cake, cookies are quite good, the soft serve ice cream is tasteless. And it seems they barely fill bowls for soup and dessert. I didn’t have a chance to taste soup because there was no bowl. The game area is all machines, and some has cups/bottle still sits around. Not sure if I want to come back.

Where will these machines be next time? If you must put new machines on the floor, number them and put a map on your website so people know where they are. Or see their favorite machines are gone. Increase RTP to 96% and advertise it! Drawings are okay but more jackpots on the machines are better than luck of the draw. At the top of every hour, announce jackpot amounts for the previous 60 minutes and the number of the machines. It doesn't matter to anyone if $1,000 was just won if you don't know what machine. UPDATE - There is a new owner (I heard) for 2025 and I am hoping to see the above changes. _________________ May 17, 2025 review_______________ * * * * * (5 STAR) I didn't know Lucky North Club closes at midnight after arriving just before 1 a.m. staying until 4 a.m. I still think a map would be very beneficial although most machines are the same. If there are new ones, I didn't tour the whole casino to find any. Continue announcing jackpots but say what machine it was won on instead of just saying "Another jackpot winner for more than $1,000 winner and you could be next!" What does that do?

Eh it's a racino. Slots are VLTs and ran by NYS so it's fine, but Turning Stone seems to have more consistent games. (Update 10/23/2025) Went again to see how $50 would do and I was betting $1 at a time and I think I was done within 10 mins and from about 50 spins I won only about $4 after spending $50. This casino is one of the tightest VLT casinos I've been to. I think I'm done with all racinos and VLTs casinos. I'm going to Indian casinos or out of state.

The wife and I went to the buffet last Saturday and it was meh..The wife thought it was awful the only thing that I enjoyed was the prime rib and The coconut shrimp...The Chinese section was disgusting!! ..They had some pizza selections that was good. The staff was great!! But they need to step up thier game in the food department!!.. luckily it was on a special 20 dollars that night but definitely not worth the 30 original price !!

Letchworth State Park is a vast park that boasts of stunning waterfalls and cliffs. Spanning 66 miles, the park offers numerous hiking trails, river rafting, and other activities perfect for an enjoyable weekend trip. While some trails leading to the lower falls remain closed seasonally, there are still great hikes on the other side of the park that allow visitors to explore most of its grounds.
We only had a couple of hours to visit and we were not able to take in all the tremendous trails through the woods. However, we drove along the west side of the river and stopped off at a number of lookouts over this tremendous canyon. It’s a pretty spectacular place when you consider that most of the surrounding area is flat.

The most stunning state park I've ever been to! The scale of Letchworth State Park is rare to see on the east coast. The waterfalls especially the upper and middle falls are absolutely stunning. When I saw the view with the upper falls and the bridge I thought it could not get better but then when I saw the middles falls my jaw dropped. What a surreal place. I walked the trails as well as drove about the road in the park. The park is very accessible and seeing the view points quite simple. I highly recommend you visiting Letchworth State Park!

The waterfall is absolutely breathtaking, especially during peak fall. It doesn’t have to be a sunny day, even on rainy, misty, or foggy days, the falls take on a stunning, moody charm. The drive is quite long, so it’s a good idea to keep some snacks handy. The scenery makes a perfect backdrop for photography, and the entire drive through the park offers a variety of beautiful waterfalls and scenic views to enjoy.

We visited on a sunny day in October the first time and the waterfall’s were simply beautiful. The fall is the busiest season and ends 10/31 each year. During this time the gift shop, museum and restaurant close. But this year they decided to stay open a little longer because no snow. I went back on 11/08/2025 and visited the Natural Science Center. I wanted to visit museum and that’s when I learned it was closed. We learned so much about the Genesee River at the center and Matt was so very knowledgeable and kind. The source of the Genesee River is a spring in a hilltop on private land in Gold, Potter County, Pennsylvania. Path: From its beginning, it flows north, passing through the town of Ulysses in Potter County before crossing the border into New York. Landmarks: The river flows through New York, creating gorges and waterfalls at Letchworth State Park and three more in Rochester. I highly recommend visiting this park during September to truly enjoy all it has to offer! It’s simply breath taking!!

Beautiful park!! NY is home to so many amazing State Parks that are better than some National Parks! This park was extremely busy on a Saturday afternoon in October, but i was able to find a parking spot and wander on down to the bridge to take pictures during sunset.

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

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

The Strong National Museum of Play

History museum
The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester is a captivating destination that celebrates the world of toys and games. It houses the largest collection of toys, dolls, and play-related artifacts, including the prestigious National Toy Hall of Fame. Visitors can explore interactive exhibits like Reading Adventureland and Sesame Street, as well as enjoy a pint-size market and an indoor butterfly garden. The museum also features vintage pinball machines and classic arcade games for all ages to enjoy.
I highly recommend. I was surprised how large it was and how interactive it was. There were so many games (board games ann video games) you could play and so many other interactive things. Great for kids of all ages and adults as well. It had so many nostalgia items from toys dating back to the 1800's to more recent. We went on a Monday and it was not busy, we were there almost 5 hours and probably still didn't see everything. We ate at the food court and got pizza and a chicken salad wrap and both were really good.

The Strong National Museum of Play completely lives up to its name — it’s pure fun, learning, and nostalgia rolled into one. We went as a family with both adults and kids, and every one of us had different favorites — which says everything about how much there is to do here. The exhibits are hands-on, creative, and thoughtfully designed, from the classic toys and video games to the pretend play areas and immersive displays. You could easily spend the whole day here and still find new things to explore. The only downside was that the bathrooms could have been cleaner — no soap first thing in the morning and a few stalls looked like they hadn’t been checked since the night before. Hopefully just a timing issue, because everything else was fantastic. The staff were friendly, the layout was well-organized, and the entire experience was memorable from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back — we’re planning for another full day!

This is the best place for kids (and me!)😁 It has the largest areas of play for kids at different ages. It entertains, teaches and inspires my kids. It's such a cool place and I would love to come here a few times a week! I wished the membership was cheaper though.

Best children’s museum I’ve ever been to! We stopped on our way back from the Midwest, going to New England, and my husband is already wanting to plan a trip to Rochester next year, just to spend more time at the museum! My son who was 1.5yo when we visited, LOVED it! I like how there’s activities for kids at every age (even adult nostalgia), and there’s even an outside area for kids to run around in (enclosed).
Emily — Google review
Outstanding National Treasure in the middle of Rochester! I went to the museum with my 4 year old granddaughter on Monday when senior rates are in effect. It is not cheap and family membership makes more sense than paying admission only a few times a year. It takes several days to appreciate the enormous amount of exhibits housed at the Strong. Parking is $10 on top of admission without a membership. I have been to art and science museums around the world and this museum blew me away. Can't say enough good things about it. Go, just go. Had such a great time that I didn't take many pictures; I was too enthralled with the displays and activities for young and old.
Gerald S — Google review
Had a great experience at the Strong Museum! My kids had a blast—there were tons of fun activities for them. I especially enjoyed seeing the classic games from the ’90s, like the pinball machines. Brought back memories! Pretty sure the new generation has no idea how to play some of those, but it was fun showing them.
Lani O — Google review
This was our second time visiting with our son. First time he was 2 years old and he had a great time. This visit he's now 7 years old and was able to enjoy different parts of the museum that cater to his age. He even got to have fun in some of the same sections he did as a 2 year old. This museum is really one of my favorites. It's fun for the whole family, not just the little ones. The history of video games and the history of board games really stands out for me. Very clean and easy to navigate. Highly recommend! My son would also like to add his words: "Most museums we only go to once, but this museum is far away from us, and we want to go to it a lot of times. The Strong Museum of Play is really fun. I love all the sections and could spend a whole day there. Can't wait to go back!"

We had a fantastic time at The Strong National Museum of Play last weekend. It's truly the best place for kids, with so many fun and interactive exhibits that kept them entertained for hours.

Love this park. Got the season pass for myself and my 8 year old who can ride all the rides. We choose to do the water park on a completely separate day from rides as their is just too much to do. The prices of food and options will hurt your wallet so I suggest packing a PBJ and to go eat by the car. Lots of rides for the little ones as well. Never had a bad time here.
Kayleigh S — Google review
Severely lacking improvements. Used to go there a lot in the 90s as a child and it was kept better overall and my biggest complaint is the robbery on concessions. $23 for a slice of pizza and a water (small bottle). $11 for a small ice cream (normal size Dip N Dots). Same price for the custard (small). $11 for a pretzel (that's it) just a pretzel. The prices are just outrageous!!!! The ride times are extremely short (about 2 minutes) I guess it keeps the lines shorter that way (who knows but all the rides were extremely short). I went on a Thursday and noticed a lot of rides were closed along with many of the overpriced games. Lack of staff? Saving money by reducing staffing until the weekend? Who knows. All I can say is this- They have taken the famous Big Ferris Wheel out and didn't invest in anything to replace it with, just the slabs of concrete bases it used to sit on. It's actually sad. Nothing new as far as rides have been added in a very long time (since the Super man Ride of Steel)? Seems like the management have given up and at this point are trying to milk customers for everything it's worth in concessions before selling out to another company. Sad, a real shame.

Overall we had a great time, unfortunately the water park was closed but it was the end of August. Rides were great, something for everyone. Lines were reasonable and vary throughout the day. Food options were limited and grossly overpriced. Tables were sticky and not clean, roof water dripping on the table (lost a star easily for this alone). The paid go-karts were boringly slow, definitely the slowest I’ve ever experienced (lost .5 star). Staff were pleasant. We all look forward to our next year’s visit when the waterpark is open!

We were just at the park camping this weekend. We went right when it opened at 11 to go to Rde is Steel. But it didn’t open until around 11:30. Not impressed. Then a couple of the main rollercoasters were closed for the season? We brought our own food. But I can see why people were complaining the food prices were high. Our camp site and the laser show at the end of the day were both great!

First time here. Was decent experience.Staff was friendly.Had to go through security search was odd we dont do that in Canada.The biggest complaint was getting season passes there was not goid information regarding id n such after buying passes. We had to make 2nd trip back to our motel in Attica paid extra for this. Other then that was good experience. Food was bit pricey so we bought the day food upgrade.Since we do not drive made it difficult to get back n forth from Attica. Totally enjoyed my 4 days there.I will find six flags locations to go to there are easier when person doesn't drive.

It was ok! It has been many years since I have visited and it seems like it has gone downhill but we had a good time. The cost for everything is very high! One thing that was concerning, a child was not tall enough for the rollercoaster and was still let on. The worker was trying to do the right thing but other patrons were yelling to let her on and unfortunately the pressure must have got the best of her because the child was let on the ride. That was absolutely not ok. I have lost a child and it's not something you ever want to experience. I wouldn't trust the attendants to make sure your child is safe to go on the ride.

Hamburg Gaming

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

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

Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House

Mentioned on 
+57 other lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Martin House, a masterpiece designed by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1903 and 1905, is located in the Buffalo Parkside neighborhood. Recognized as one of Wright's greatest works, this Prairie-style estate showcases his signature architectural elements such as horizontal planes, open-concept interior with stained glass windows including the custom Tree of Life window. The site offers guided tours through the first-floor rooms, pergola, conservatory, and carriage house where visitors can view Wright-designed furnishings and fixtures.
This place is absolutely breathtaking. It is a marvel of buildings what they have done on rebuilding it is just absolutely spectacular. It is such a beautiful valued building and walking through. It is just a walk-through history. It is so inspiring to go to and I highly recommend everyone to go there and learn more about Frank Lloyd Wright and this building and the reason why it was built if you don’t go and visit this building, you’re missing out visit Buffalo!!!

I took the 75-minute tour today and absolutely loved it. Lou was my guide and he did a great job. I've been to around a dozen or so Frank Lloyd Wright properties, and this was the most spectacular. The property is sprawling, the home is meticulously restored, and the landscaping is so beautiful. This is a must do in Buffalo for any architectural buffs.
Kevin L — Google review
We took the 2 hr tour. Parking is in the surrounding streets and watch the signage for allowed days and times. Tickets were on every car illegally parked. The house is obviously impressive and massive. Being fairly tall, I really didn't care for the areas with low ceilings that were intended by wright to either move you along or to sit down. Interior woodworking was impeccable and outside construction flawless. The guide seemed focused on minute details of the owners life and family rather than the house. But it was informative and very well run.

Frank Lloyd Wright architecture lovers will be very excited to see the restoration and current condition of this beautiful piece of residential art! Every detail was understood and perfectly restored to its original condition. Part of the house and an adjacent FLW home were destroyed in the past and all of it was rebuilt to exacting details and materials. As soon as you step into the home, it takes your breath away with sights, lights and sounds like no other home. It is not Renaissance grand, but it is FLW grand and I like that better. The warmth of the woods, the glass that makes the light talk to you and the art all over the house secretly disguised as furniture are all amazing. The docents were professional, very knowledgeable that provided just enough time for guests to stop walk around and take it all in. They answered questions politely with additional stories about the family and additional history bits. There are several choices of options for the tour with progressively longer and more complete tours of the home, adjacent buildings, and grounds. I highly recommend touring this Frank Lloyd Home in Buffalo!

The tour began with an excellent video laying the background for the design and building of the estate. Dave, our tour guide, was a wealth of information, and very entertaining. He was able to respond to all questions. We took the two hour tour, which I would highly recommend. We went in October, but I would love to return in spring/summer when the gardens are in bloom.

What a spectacular place! My family enjoyed hearing about the history of the home and the relationship between Mr. Wright and Mr. Martin and their partnership in building this house. The house has been beautifully restored and is a treasure. Our volunteer guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about the property. We are glad to have gotten a membership and look forward to returning.

Amazing tour. We took the 2 hours tour and it surprisingly went very quickly. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the house, the history of the person that commissioned the house to be built, FLW, and the neighborhood. Even if tour are not a fan of FLW, you will enjoy this tour of the property.

Niagara Falls is a renowned natural wonder located at the border of Canada and the United States. It's a popular destination for tourists, offering boat rides and tours to experience its towering waterfalls. For those seeking a romantic getaway, a one-day tour from New York provides an opportunity to relax and explore this impressive site. Despite its popularity, Niagara Falls continues to captivate visitors with its majestic cascades.
Oh my God! Pictures simply don’t do justice to this natural wonder of the world. What an absolute beauty and a truly memorable sight! I was completely overwhelmed by the view of the powerful, gushing water—it’s breathtaking every single time. We tried both the Maid of the Mist and the Journey Behind the Falls. While both were nice experiences, the Maid of the Mist boat ride was by far our favorite—it’s an incredible feeling to be that close to the falls. Words can’t describe the thrill and awe of witnessing it in person. This was my second visit, and I felt the same joy both times. The area around Niagara has such a great vibe, with so much to explore. One could easily spend a few days there. Since we were a little rushed this time, we couldn’t catch the sunset or the fireworks, but that’s something we’ll definitely plan for on our next visit. Niagara Falls is absolutely stunning—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience

This was a bucket list adventure and it was absolutely amazing! The falls are so beautiful and powerful. The scenery is incredible in the park, especially in the fall. We did a boat ride to the falls and we could feel the water spraying up on us as it hit the water below. Of course Canada is just on the opposite bank.

Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls on the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA, connected by the Niagara River. The three falls are the Horseshoe Falls (the largest, on the Canadian side), the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls (both on the U.S. side). Known for its scenic power, the falls are a major tourist destination with attractions like boat tours and observation decks, and a significant source of hydroelectric power. The three waterfalls Horseshoe Falls: The largest of the three, located on the Canadian side of the border and carrying the majority of the Niagara River's flow. American Falls: Located in the United States. Bridal Veil Falls: Also on the U.S. side and located next to the American Falls. Geography and power The falls are created where the Niagara River, which connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, plunges over the Niagara Escarpment. More than 168,000 cubic meters (6 million cubic feet) of water go over the crestline of the falls every minute during peak daytime tourist hours. The area is a major source of hydroelectric power, with projects like the Niagara Power Project in New York being one of the state's largest electricity producers. Tourist attractions and activities Boat tours: Popular options include Maid of the Mist on the NY side and others on the Canadian side that take you into the mist at the base of the falls. Cave of the Winds: An attraction on the U.S. side that takes you to a deck below the American Falls. Observation decks: The Observation Tower on the U.S. side provides views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. The Skylon Tower on the Canadian side offers panoramic views. Walking tours: Visitors can walk across the international border via bridges like the Rainbow Bridge. Other attractions: The area includes other attractions like the Aquarium of Niagara, amusement attractions, and shows. Visitor information The falls are accessible from both the United States and Canada, with cities like Buffalo, NY, on the U.S. side and Hamilton and Toronto near the Canadian side. Niagara Falls State Park on the U.S. side is America's oldest state park and is open 365 days a year.

Niagara Falls is truly one of the best places to visit! The view is breathtaking, and the sound of the rushing water is both powerful and calming. The boat cruise is an unforgettable experience — getting so close to the falls and feeling the mist on your face is simply amazing. The area around the falls is clean, well maintained, and has plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops, and viewing points. It’s a perfect destination for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and adventure. I highly recommend adding Niagara Falls to your travel list — you’ll never forget the experience!

Amazing place. So clean, so beautiful, with the falls accessible day or night. To access the closer parts, like the boat or the tunnel, you'll have to buy a ticket. Our group booked via the hotel. You pay more, but the tour guide/ driver reduces all stress and offers an in depth historical tour to boot. The falls themselves are so beautiful, majestic in size and yet so calming. Nature the way God intended. Incredible views, and the USA side more relaxed compared to the Canadian side. The view of the falls better from Canada overall, but you get up closer from the USA side. Weekends much busier than week days, but worth it no matter what day you choose. All hotels are within 10 minutes walk, so don't worry what one you choose. Free fireworks show at 10pm every night, lasting between 5 and 8 minutes. Spectacular place.

It was Wednesday morning when I arrived at Niagara Falls, and since it was the end of the season, the streets were almost empty. Only a few people, including me, could be seen around the state park or walking along the city roads. The view of Niagara Falls is absolutely breathtaking, and I highly recommend visiting the Shoreline Trail either early in the morning or in the evening.

Journey Behind the Falls

Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Experience the natural wonder of Horseshoe Falls from a unique perspective at Journey Behind the Falls. This year-round attraction offers visitors the chance to view the falls from below and behind through tunnels and observation decks. To reach this vantage point, guests descend 45 meters in an elevator before traveling through a 50-meter tunnel that leads to two observation platforms located at the bottom of the waterfall.
Unbelievable! If you thought Niagara Falls was breath-taking from the shoreline, wait until you see it from the inside. The views from behind the falls are truly spectacular and unique. To be able to stand just a few meters from the raging waters of one of nature’s wonders is humbling. Feeling the mist hit your face is wild. You can look out across the Niagara River to see thousands of other tourists walking around Canada and the United States, enjoying a boat ride, or looking back at you from the observation deck. On the walls, there are some fun factoids and a brief history of Niagara Falls. The heaviest tourist season is during the summer and hotter months, but we went during the winter and it somehow got more amazing. Seeing the huge icicles and frozen mists in the air is truly a sight to behold. It also helped make the journey quick and painless, since there are huge lines during the warmer times and the only way up is by elevator. Journey Behind the Falls is something everyone should experience, as well as Niagara Falls itself. The area is modern, easy to traverse, and so stunning that it seems surreal at times. This is a big bucket list item.

Journey Behind the Falls is an absolutely incredible experience! 🌊 Being able to stand just behind the roaring waterfalls and feel the mist on your face is something you’ll never forget. The tunnels are well-maintained, safe, and give a unique perspective of the falls that you just can’t get anywhere else. The views from the observation decks are spectacular, and the sound of the water crashing down is both thrilling and mesmerizing. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or coming back to Niagara Falls, Journey Behind the Falls is a must-do – it’s up close, exhilarating, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for all ages!

Walking behind and right up against the Falls is an unforgettable experience! The only other attraction that surpasses this is the Cruise that takes you into the heart of the Horseshoe Falls. I’m thrilled that I had the opportunity to experience both attractions because it allows you to truly immerse yourself in the falls at your own pace. In this experience, you’ll get much closer to the Falls, hearing the thunderous roar and feeling the water spray against you.

🚤 My Experience on the Maid of the Mist Boat Ride – Niagara Falls Taking the Maid of the Mist boat ride was the most thrilling and unforgettable part of my visit to Niagara Falls. This iconic boat tour takes you right into the heart of the mighty falls — an adventure filled with mist, roar, and excitement! As the boat slowly approached the American Falls and then the majestic Horseshoe Falls, I could feel the power of nature all around me. The sound of the crashing water was thunderous, and the mist completely surrounded us — it felt like stepping into another world. Even with the provided blue poncho, I was soaked, but the experience was totally worth it! The ride was about 20 minutes long, but every second was packed with awe and wonder. Seeing the falls up close gave me a whole new appreciation for their beauty and strength. The crew was friendly, and everything was well-organized and safe. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Don’t worry about getting wet — embrace it! • Keep your camera or phone waterproofed; the mist is heavy. • Go early morning to avoid long queues. • Hold on to your poncho — it’s a fun souvenir! Overall, the Maid of the Mist is an absolutely must-do experience at Niagara Falls — thrilling, refreshing, and truly unforgettable. 🌊💙🛥️

Highly recommend this venue to get views of the Canadian Falls up close! One observation point gives you an incredible view up the falls to see the water cascade roll over into the Niagara river! Tunnel views are behind the falls with stunning close up of water rolling past you! They provide rain slickers to keep you dry We went in November no crowds no wait!!! Summer spring early fall high season wait can be 2 hours!!!! Definitely no exceptions do this off season!!!!!!

We traveled by bus from Union bus station to Niagara falls bus station, around 43 CAN/adult. There, we bought another ticket to the falls which was about 10 minutes far by that bus. The scene was breathtaking, especially that it was snowing. We walked around for an hour, took amazing pictures and had some coffee in the adjacent cafe, then came back the same way It is a must experience for those who visit Toronto, and it deserves the effort done to reach the location

The Journey Behind the Falls is one of those experiences that truly lets you feel the raw power of Niagara Falls up close and I mean really close. Even though I’ve seen the falls many times from above, nothing quite compares to standing right behind that massive curtain of water and hearing the thunderous roar echo all around you. It’s surreal The moment you step out of the elevator you can already hear the rumbling of the water. it’s deep and powerful, like the heartbeat of nature itself. The tunnels lead you to two observation portals directly behind the falls. When you reach them, you see millions of gallons of water rushing down in front of you, just a few feet away. The mist and the sound together create an atmosphere that’s both thrilling and calming at the same time. Then there’s the outdoor observation deck which is easily my favorite part. Standing there, you can feel the mist spraying your face while watching the falls from an incredible vantage point. It’s one of those moments you don’t forget. The poncho they provide helps, but you’ll still get a bit wet, which honestly adds to the fun. I’d recommend going early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and get more time to take it all in. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been to Niagara before, Journey Behind the Falls gives you a whole new appreciation for its power and beauty.

The Skylon Tower is a must-visit attraction in Niagara Falls, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the falls and the surrounding area. At 775 feet above the ground, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas from both indoor and outdoor observation decks. The tower also features a unique revolving restaurant where guests can savor continental cuisine while taking in the stunning sights. Additionally, there's an arcade and the opportunity to watch the 2D/4D film 'Legends of Niagara Falls.'
Could not ask for better! Great food, service and atmosphere. We saw the fireworks from our table. Spectacular! It happened at 8 pm but will be closer to 9 pm in the summer. There was live piano playing in the background. It was my husband's birthday so they gave him a complimentary slice of cheesecake! So delicious! We ordered the steak, prime rib and salmon. All great choices and come with beans and a simply delicious scoop of sweet potatoes. The prime rib was extremely tender. The virgin Strawberry Daiquiri was absolutely wonderful. Our servers were attentive and friendly.

I came here for a lunch buffet. Despite the bad reviews, I gave it a try. I lowered my expectations, so it was just like how I expected. The restaurant reminded me of a dormitory dining hall, extremely noisy and crowded. The food was not as bad as the reviews I read. There are plenty of options, one way or another you will find something to enjoy. It’s relatively cheap, so the price-quality point was good. However, your visit reason shouldn’t be for dining, but for the view and the overall experience. You can definitely find better food around the area, but you can’t always eat on top of the tower. So, I would suggest visiting this place once in your life and one time only.

We came for the views with a relaxed meal experience. We got that absolutely 100%. The food was good, without being brilliant. No complaints. The service was ok, but a little chaotic. The views and revolving restaurant (not the buffet) was what we came for, and what we got as an experience. Its a litle over priced for what you get for sure. We came to Niagara for a once in a lifetime experience, and this restaurant played its part. We also got to experience the views from the observation deck afterwards as well, so overall would do it again, even knowing the rest of what i mention.

While I did not go to the restaurant, I did go for the observation deck and it was so stunning. The view of Niagara Falls is amazing as well as being able to see the Buffalo and Toronto skylines. I highly recommend. The elevator up was also such a cool experience!

Recommended, view is worth it. Food was nice good portions, salmon was really tasty cook perfectly. Service wasn’t good we have two waiters one a girl was nice but the older guy was no patient and kind of rude. But we saw other tables were really happy with services maybe just our luck. Nice place to go, as the CN tower rotates so you can have a 360o view in around one hour period.
Susana H — Google review
I really enjoyed the Prime Rib dinner in the revolving restaurant. You get 90 minutes for your reservation which is plenty of time to enjoy your meal and enjoy the views. The restaurant rotates once per hour, we got to see the falls 2x while we were sat. Afterwards we went to the observation deck as it is included. All of our meals were good with no complaints from any of us. I would definitely return as this was a memorable experience for me.

At the top of Skylon Tower, you’ll be treated to spectacular views of Niagara Falls! The breathtaking scenery, combined with the sound of the falls and a gentle breeze, creates an unforgettable experience!! Additionally, you’ll learn about the daring individuals who have attempted to cross the falls and witness the various vehicles they used beyond the barrels, including kayaks and a massive steel ball.
Ray A — Google review
Had an amazing experience at the Skylon Tower! The views of Niagara Falls from the top are absolutely breathtaking. Tickets were around $23 per person, totally worth it for the panoramic scenery. The shop at the top was a fun surprise — the guy who owns it is super funny, friendly, and makes everyone feel comfortable. Overall, a great visit and a must-do in Niagara!

Toronto Islands

Parks
Toronto Islands, a cluster of 13 small islands in Lake Ontario, are easily accessible from downtown Toronto via a short ferry ride. The main islands for visitors are Centre Island, Wards Island, and Hanlan Point. Visitors can enjoy various recreational activities such as walking or biking along the bridges and pathways that connect the islands. There are also swimming beaches, boat rentals, and dining options available on the islands.
We visited Toronto Island about four weeks ago with our family and had a great time. It’s just a short boat ride from the city, but it really feels like you’re getting away from it all. The boat ride was smooth and gave us some amazing views of the Toronto skyline. Once we got to the island, we spent the day walking around, enjoying the peaceful vibe, and just relaxing together. It’s a beautiful spot calm, quiet, and full of nature. Perfect for a family outing. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful, scenic and relaxing! Stunning views of downtown Toronto en route by ferry to this quaint set of interconnected islands. Lovely boardwalk from Ward’s Island to Centre Island. Clean and lifeguard-supervised swimming area on Centre Island. Cute amusement park and gardens. Spend the day or just a few hours.

Toronto Islands are one of the best places to visit in the city. The view of the skyline from across the water is absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Whether it’s summer or fall, the islands are stunning. There are three islands, each with its own charm. You can take a boat to any of them (check the schedule), or grab a water taxi near Harbourfront for a more relaxing ride. The return trip from the island is free even if you didn’t take the ferry. The are a few beaches which are clean and scenic, perfect for summer days. I highly recommend going on a weekday, ideally in the morning to avoid crowds (it can be VERY crowdy on weekends). On weekdays it is quiet, peaceful, and you might feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The best way to explore is by renting a bike through Bike Share. There are lots of them available. There is also a nice boardwalk on the opposite side of the islands (no bikes permitted though). But the best part is of course the iconic view from Centre Island. There are also a few cafes for a quick snack, plenty of picnic spots, lots of water stations. Overall, Toronto Islands are a must-see!

We ended up catching the ferry to Billy Bishop Airport (~10minutes). From there, we walked to Center Island. It was incredibly crowded for a weekday. Prices were high for pretty much everything. The highlights for us were the little farm, where we got to pet the ponies, donkeys, and goats. We caught the ferry back to the mainland maybe 40 minutes after exploring Center Island.

I always have a great time on this island—beautiful nature and delicious food. The only thing I didn’t like this time was that some people were going into the fountain pool, which isn’t allowed. Security should take steps to prevent this.

Visited Toronto Island Park around 3 PM in October with friends. We spent about two hours walking around and watched a beautiful sunset. It was a bit cold, and there isn’t much to do during the colder months besides walking, grabbing a coffee or snack at the small café, or checking out the restaurant that was open. The views of the city and lake were great, but overall it’s a quiet, simple experience in the off-season. Also, in winter the ferry doesn’t reach the main island, so you have to walk about 30 minutes to get there
Denis F — Google review
had a great time at Toronto Islands. The place is peaceful and has amazing views of the city skyline. I went during the air show, and watching it from the island was a perfect choice. The planes flying over the water and skyline made it a great experience. We also had a small barbecue there, which added to the fun. The open space, fresh air, and calm surroundings made it a relaxing day. The ferry ride to the island was smooth and easy. Overall, it was a lovely day,good weather, exciting air show, tasty food, and a perfect spot to enjoy nature while still being close to the city.
Krati V — Google review
Beautiful islands to enjoy some quality time with friends and family. It’s an easy ferry ride or water taxi from the harbours. During weekend a very busy place, so a wait for ferry is long. However if you wish to save time, get a water taxi which is quick for some extra dollars. Overall the island is very clean with great sights and activities for everyone. It’s huge with different sides of it. Centre island is the main attraction for a new person or tourist. Easy to walk around or rent a cycle for better experience. Lots of places to get a quick drink or snacks. Lot of signage’s available and its self explanatory. Best views of Toronto skyline from the islands.

Loved this area. Lively atmosphere, great smells from various food stalls. Wonderful experience. Definitely recommend a visit. We brought various butter tarts and they were heavenly. So much to see (and eat) 😀

Family and I went to this amazing St.Lawrence Market and it was so many shops inside for whatever you need. It had amazing Food options and so many Meats options also. What are the unique thing is how different culture kind of meat and cheese and fruits that were in this Market. The food was so fresh anywhere you tried to eat because it was made fresh right away. We try the pizza place and it was very delicious. The only reason why I give it a four star is because it would have been nice to see some Halal Options in Market as it had None and we had to find Cheese pizza to eat. Also bathroom could been cleaner! Overall Very Amazing and Unique Market to visit.

If you would love to visit local market as a tourist, this is the place to go! It has nice market atmosphere and I see long queue at many shops in the market by locals. It also cater both raw and ready to eat food. So you can buy beef steak to cook in your homestay or buy ready to eat food. Variety range from meat to seafood to fruits to bread to tarts to desserts and even maple syrup! Beautiful atmosphere and nice yummy food.... A nice brunch place and market!

Had a terrific time spending the day browsing St Lawrence Market. Bought an amazingly creative bouquet of flowers to brighten our hotel room. Had a delicious charcuterie lunch made from purchasing items from various vendors. Dessert was the largest berries we’ve ever seen, sweet, juicy, and delicious! Bought some pork belly to bring home after our trip. Purchased wines, a few souvenirs for our kids, generally had a nice day browsing through the enormous market. For reference I’d say it is about six times the size of Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Pretty much every visitor to Toronto knows this market. It's in a class of its own among public markets. Think about the scale, the vibe, the amazing selection and quality of products. You can even eat and drink while you shop—how great is that? On a nice day (if it's not too cold), the outdoor patio is the place to be. It's spacious, with pigeons wandering around, and another market is just across the street. Picture this: you're eating a lobster roll or pasta, feeding the pigeons, enjoying the scenery, and chatting with friends. What a fantastic scene!

A nice place to visit, lots of options for fancy goods, food particularly seafoods, meats, cheese, backed delicacies, sweets and farm produce. Liked the bright, happy vibe and roaming carefree environment. It was Christmas buying time, it added colourfulness. Good for buying souvenirs too.

Wonderful experience of the oldest market in Canada! There was a booth that has been there since before Canadas birth! The main floor is where fresh food is sold. The lower level has all the international flavours… will visit again. Lively atmosphere… need sitting area in winter. Has a mini-museum in lowest level where the jail used to be.

Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

Mentioned on 
+93 other lists 
Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, located in downtown Toronto near the Rogers Centre and CN Tower, is a modern and expansive indoor aquarium showcasing thousands of marine species. From barracudas to rays, jellyfish, octopi, moray eels, and giant sharks, the aquarium offers a diverse range of sea creatures. Visitors can enjoy educational behind-the-scenes tours, interactive displays, and even in-water experiences with Cownose and Southern Stingrays.
Fabulous fabulous fabulous. An aquarium whose glasses are as clean as it could be, no fishy smell and despite of its size it is quite difficult to maintain that. There is a huge filtration plant at work that contributes to it but that is only one part. The staff efforts are the main hero here. That's first fabulous. Second fabulous is the variety of fresh water and marine life available to see. From tiny fish and other life forms, to huge animals that are a sight to behold in a aquarium environment. Just visit to see the variety. Lots if information displayed about natural habitat, needs of conservation etc. And the third fabulous the concept itself. The glass tunnel inside tanks where you can enter to see the creatures all around yourself, the moving conveyor to felicitate the smooth flow of visitors without crowding or obstruction of view, the open tank concept where you can dip your hand in water to touch some of the creatures, the decor that is inspired by marine life forms and upkeep, all are good. There is a separate section for aquatic or amphibious, reptiles like crocs and caymans. Plenty of offerings for children to play constructively and a inside eatery as well souvenir shop to explore. Highly recommend. Buy tickets in advance to avoid wait, open time tickets available on line as well on spot.

We absolutely loved our experience! It was so much fun for everyone, and truly perfect for all ages — especially the kids. There were so many activities that kept them entertained and excited the entire time. Everything was well organized, clean, and safe, which made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly and helpful, and you could tell they really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. We’ll definitely be coming back — such a wonderful place for families to make memories together!

Ripley’s Aquarium is an amazing place for families. My son loved watching the stingrays — you can see them from above (bird’s-eye view) in open water, just a few feet away. The kids’ section has a small filtration system for play purposes, where children can learn how water moves through the aquarium. It’s educational, fun, and a great way for kids to explore and understand how filtration works. The place is clean, well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for both kids and adults!

Its a really cool, fairly big aquarium. It was a little cfowdwd, but other than that, it was fun. There were so many decorations and things to see, and unique sea creatures. The kids indoor playground looked fun, and all the tanks were very clean, and the creatures were well maintained. The only problem was the food. I there were more fikd options. The only cafeteria type food place only had a couple crowded tables, and barely had anything on the menu. But that wasnt enough to bring my rating down to a 4 stars, because the aquarium is so great. I love this place.

Awesome for all ages. Plenty of seating arrangements for elders. Touching the sting ray is the best thing as a climax kids can have. My kids had an amazing day. The aquarium has a lot of variety of sea creatures . Moreover the way it has been presented is amazing. Information display is very clear and simple. Its worth the money. Memorable experience.

9:00 a.m. Toronto My CityPASS said I could visit Ripley’s Aquarium anytime, so with an hour to spare before my CN Tower reservation, I decided to head inside. I asked the girl scanning tickets how long it usually took to get through. She told me about an hour and a half. It was Monday morning, and the place was completely empty. It was quiet, the kind of quiet that hums in your chest. Just the low music and the faint whoosh of water cycling through the tanks. The blue light made everything look like it was breathing. I wandered slowly, taking in the small faces of the fish and the strange calm that filled the rooms. There was even a “quiet tent” set up for anyone who needed a break. I understood why. If I had another encounter with that sawfish staring at me like it was judging my entire existence, I’d need it too. For a quick stop, it ended up being one of the most peaceful hours of my trip so far.
Alduien — Google review
It was nice, but honestly, $56 for adults and $38 for children is way too expensive for what you offer. There were no glow fish, no dolphins, and not even a dolphin show. For the amount you charge, at least include some impressive or unique marine life that makes the visit feel worth the money. They seriously needs to improve its exhibits or reconsider its pricing it feels more like a tourist trap than an educational experience.
Maria K — Google review
One of the best Aquariums I have ever gone to. Great tour of the water life in Lake Ontario, this place taught me a lot about the creatures in the water. They have a great jellyfish exhibit which has glow in the dark jellyfish under blacklight which was an amazing experience. If you have never visited this aquarium I highly recommend you check this place out!

CN Tower

Mentioned on 
+184 other lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Event venue
The CN Tower is a must-see landmark in Toronto, standing at over 553 meters tall. It's known for its glass floor and revolving eatery offering panoramic views of the city. Visitors can also experience EdgeWalk, a thrilling hands-free walk around the outside ledge of the tower. As one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, it's a Canadian icon and symbol of Toronto.
A overwhelming experience for me as a photography buff. The views offered are simply awesome, you can see the surrounding as if from flight, don't forget to make a time lapse movie that would make you proud. CN tower of Toronto, being the highest man made structure from its completion in 1976 to 2007 when Burz Khalifa became tallest. The highest level that a visitor can go is 457 meters from bottom, total height being 553 meters. There is a revolving restaurant at 355 meters. You can sit near the window and enjoy the 360° view where skyscraper buildings of 60+ floors appear small below while dining. The height affects air pressure and feels like being in a flight. The views from CN tower lift while ascending itself is quite rewarding. You are arriving main deck, you get free access to observation deck and glass window floor to look through and stand on the glass panels which offer the view if ground floor from 350 meter level. There you can buy the top deck ticket for 12 CAD and ride another lift to go to 450 meter level which is highest visitors can go. Nice view from there also, you can see two rail stations, lots of highways, Billy airport and numorous skyscrapers along with beautiful lake. You can also feel little sway at top deck that adds to the wow. Tip - you can reserve the table at 360 restaurant in advance, can skip the line while entering tower, get free access to main observation deck and very good dining experience on the price of minimum 75 CAD spent per head in restaurant, where as you can buy a 80 CAD ticket for CN tower entry, long line with free vitamin D greets you and you have to spend extra on food with limited seating, access to only main deck levels and still have to pay 12 CAD extra for top deck. So, booking a table in 360 works out to be more rewarding.

Obviously this place has an amazing view. I ordered an old fashioned. It was perfectly made. My food was amazing. I got the multi-course meal that included an appetizer, the main dish, and a dessert. It was definitely on the pricey side. For one person with a good solid tip and of course the alcoholic drink. My total bill was about $160. That said the view is amazing. The service was great. The food was amazing. Absolutely worth every bit of it and it was a great evening to myself with a beautiful sunset. I highly recommend getting reservations and I would also recommend to look and see what time is sunset is and get there about a half hour before

I recently visited the CN Tower with a group of friends on a weekday, and it was an unforgettable experience! We decided to buy our tickets online beforehand, which meant we didn't have to wait in long lines. This definitely helped make the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable from the start. The moment we stepped into the lift, the excitement was already building up. The staff in the elevator were not just professional but also incredibly funny and engaging, which added an unexpected and delightful touch to the ride. The fast ascent gave us a sense of anticipation, and the view as we reached the top was nothing short of breathtaking. From the observation deck, the city sprawled beneath us like a living, breathing landscape. The buildings seemed to stretch endlessly, while the cars and vehicles below appeared as tiny moving dots—it's amazing how perspective shifts when you're so high up! The day view was spectacular, offering a clear, panoramic look at Toronto's impressive skyline, and we could see all the way to Lake Ontario. But what really made the experience even more magical was seeing the city transition as the sun began to set. Watching the sky change from golden hues to the deep blues of night, the lights of the city flickering to life below, was truly mesmerizing. One of the highlights of our visit was the chance to see the vastness of Lake Ontario. The enormous water body stretched out endlessly, and you could almost feel the peace that it brought to the bustling city. It’s hard to put into words how incredible it felt to take in such a stunning sight from such a height. While we soaked in the views, we also treated ourselves to some delicious food at the restaurant, which had its own glass floor. Dining while looking out over the entire city, surrounded by the endless sky and twinkling lights, made the meal even more memorable. Everything down below seemed so small and far away—the buildings, the busy streets, even the people—all of it felt like a different world from up there. It was a perfect blend of nature, cityscape, and human activity, all from the comfort of the CN Tower. The whole experience left us with a sense of awe and wonder, and we all agreed it was a memory we’d cherish. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the CN Tower offers a truly unique way to experience the city of Toronto. It’s a place where the beauty of the skyline meets the serenity of the natural world, making for an unforgettable visit. I can’t wait to go back again—this time maybe to see the city from the glass floor! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible view, great food, and a fun, memorable experience.

We enjoyed the beauty of the tower. We opted for the trip to the top. It's a tad overrated. The clouds at the top made getting good pictures a difficult task. The elevator is super crowded, but very fast. The staff members are kind, respectful and helpful. I think going to the observation deck would have been a better option for us. It is lit beautifully at night from the outside. The glass floor and big beautiful images behind it were fun!

I visited the CN Tower with my family a few years back, and the view from the top is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. You really get to see the city from a whole new perspective. Standing on the glass floor was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. I definitely felt a bit anxious looking straight down, but it was a fun and memorable experience. It’s one of those iconic spots in Toronto that’s worth visiting once. Whether you go during the day or at night, the view is stunning either way.

The CN Tower is a must-see! A unique place any time of year. The view from the top is indescribable – the entire city looks like a scale model, with Lake Ontario stretching out to the horizon. The biggest attraction? The glass floor, which you step onto with a little trepidation, but then burst into a broad smile 😄 The whole experience was perfectly organized and with very friendly service. It's worth buying tickets online. If you're in Toronto, you simply can't miss it! I recommend it to anyone who wants to see Toronto from a completely different perspective. An unforgettable experience!

My first time experience here was amazing. The walk to the restaurant is a little bit much but once you are in the building it’s actually pretty neat. You go up the sky lift that gives you amazing views of the city and immediately out of the elevator you are guided and seated to you seat. Now I did make reservations that were honored so I’d recommend making arrangements ahead of time, we were there for a birthday and they accommodated my wishes of acknowledging the special with a cute placard and a special desert for his birthday with a cute placard. The food however was 10/10 I had the lamb shank and grits, with a deconstructed Caesar salad. Everything tasted great even my guys food was good he opted for the seafood route with a lobster style meal and Brussels. I can say 10/10 even our waiter was attentive and helped up pick out items and plan our meal accordingly. I missed his name but he was amazing and well wishes to him. I inquired about if there were any semi sweet wines and he recommended me one and even let me sample it ! Of course it was amazing right from Canadian vineyards which was a plus. I’d definitely recommend if you are okay spending a good penny.

We absolutely loved this experience and we're going to come back to do it again. We enjoyed everything about it. We were able to walk up and buy tickets, there was no wait. I was truly surprised by the size of the tower. The views were incredible and there's an art exhibit. I don't want to give it all away but this was worth every penny.
