Probably one of the most frequented malls in this area! Gigantic! All kinds of high end stores as well as regular stores. Usually crowded on weekends! Christmas holiday can be a nightmare as far as crowds but you can get great deals! Parking is always challenging here. You can find parking but sometimes it’s a headache! Different restaurants scattered throughout. Always as great place to hangout at especially if it’s hot out! Nice and cool! Clean!

King of Prussia Mall Review The King of Prussia Mall is massive and has just about every store you could think of—from luxury brands to everyday favorites. It’s clean, well-organized, and easy to spend hours exploring. There are plenty of dining options, so it’s more than just a shopping trip—it feels like a full day experience. Parking can get a little hectic during peak times, but overall the atmosphere is lively, and it’s a great place to shop, browse, and hang out.

The largest mall in the Philly metro area with the best offerings in all of retail. Designer and luxury brands have set up shop here. Great eat out options. The best place to shop in all of PA. Plenty of parking. Very close to highways

The mall is great! It’s beautiful (unlike most malls in the country), has a great variety of stores, is spacious, and has plenty of natural light. However, for one of the largest malls in the country, the lack of signage is a serious issue that needs urgent improvement. There were barely any signs indicating where the stores, restrooms, or exits were. I could only find the restrooms when I was already right next to them, and I had to walk around in circles multiple times just to find specific stores. It also took me quite a while to locate an exit when I was ready to leave. For such a large and well-known shopping center, better internal signage should definitely be a priority.

Best mall around. No empty stores. Clean. Safe. So many stores in every price level. If you can’t find things here, you’re simply walking around with your eyes closed. Positively love this mall- we come here as often as we can being an hour and a half away. Hopefully Mall death never hits this place.

This mall is awesome, if you plan on coming here if your not from this area I'd recommend you get here early because this mall is huge. High end rich folk stores on the top floor and the regular folk stores are on the mid and lower floors. They have everything you want here and my legs are still hurting from all that walking. Parking is free which is great

My partner and I shot down to the KOP mall to meet a friend and we spent a couple hours walking around. Absolutely didn't hit every store we wanted to, so we will be going back! Absolutely need some money before you head here, but most purchases are worth it!

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.

Beautiful park. Auto tour is a nice way to kill some time in the area or worth the drive just to it. Very well preserved.

Very family friendly. All the seats in the ballpark are close to the field. And the price is right. Food was good. Parking good but a nightmare getting out of there! Added another 40 minutes on our hour drive home. Lots of fun being had in the park. It was Star Wars Night and Fire Works which were some of the best I've seen.

Great ballpark to visit. Good prices. Nice long firework show after the ballgame. Fun mascot concert before the game and got several mascot autographs. Parking is free and close and yes you will wait getting out at the end but that is common at most any game or concert. Recommend.

This ballpark is a gem! I was there for a high school reunion in the adjacent Redners Event Center and saw the game perfectly, but looking around, it seemed that there were no bad seats in the stadium at all! And you could see the amazing and extensive fireworks display at the end of the game with great clarity. I also took the time to check out the concessions and sports clothing store while there, quite a lot on offer. There was even a live small concert going on in the concession area at the end of the game. Definitely kid-friendly, and fun for couples, young and old. Parking lot and street parking after 5 pm was free but the roads in and out are one lane, basically, so prepare for a wait. You park at your own risk.

I would give 5 stars except I could not find gluten free. I bought fries but couldn't get a meal. I was told I could take the hot dog out of the roll. Obviously I cannot do that, as I have Celiac. I guess not enough of us who attend games have food intolerance. The seats are good, the fans are all friendly, the parking is free, unless you want to buy reserved, and food items are not as expensive as at regular team concessions. Even saw awesome fireworks.

Went for they Fourth of July fireworks it was a blast definitely recommend coming here for baseball entertainment and food definitely my go-to stadium😊👍

Great AA venue... has all the elements that it takes to be relevant. Its affordable, diverse crowd, good food, solid customer service. Nice facility for sure.

The stadium was clean and prices were reasonable. I would absolutely return for another event. If they stop selling alcohol on Recovery Night, I'll give them 5 stars.

This spot is pretty cool,it's a long and winding ride to get here but it's totally worth the trip,we did not get to go inside due to renovations but it was cool just to see something that holds so much history,the view is pretty amazing,it was pretty windy up there but it was an unusually windy day in general. I would recommend anyone considering taking a trip up here to do it. If for nothing else then the experience of it. I think this would be a hot spot for watching fireworks on 4th of july

The Pagoda is being restored, but we still enjoyed a quick stop by! There was lots of parking and the drive up the mountain is fun, as well as pretty. The view is gorgeous, and we were happy to stop by despite the scaffolding. Will visit again when the scaffolding comes down and we can go inside.

My bf proposed to me here March 22 2025. I drove from New York the night before with my dog and he met me here for a car show. Absolutely beautiful and surrounded by friends, after 5 years together he finally asked and I happily said yes. I can't wait to come back and take photos again one day 🥺🥺😭❤️💚❤️💚

The Reading Pagoda is one of Pennsylvania’s most unique landmarks, sitting high on Mount Penn with breathtaking views of Reading and beyond. Built in 1908 as part of a luxury resort that never happened, the Pagoda has since become a beloved symbol of the city. Its Japanese-style architecture stands out against the Pennsylvania landscape, making it a must-visit for history buffs, photographers, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Inside, you’ll find exhibits on its history, plus a gift shop. The best part? The panoramic view from the top, especially at sunrise or sunset! Whether you’re stopping for a quick visit or spending time exploring, the Reading Pagoda is a true hidden gem.

Great sunset views. Great place to take pics of ur car, great place to see the city lights at night n great place to view the mountain overlook. It woulda been a 10/10 but it’s a very sketchy area ppl wouldn’t stop blastin their terrible music which made it unenjoyable sadly. Luckily me and some other people bullied her into stopping but the loud music is a terrible problem plus the people up here who look like they wanna rob you for no reason. Cool spot tho otherwise

Under major construction right now so really hard to get decent pictures and no access to the pagoda until they are done/ Such a landmark for Reading. The city is restoring it and I’m not sure what the target date is for completion. At one time it was supposed to be a nice luxury resort built in 1907. not sure that they ever got it going but it sure is beautiful!! They are taking donations for the restoration google pagoda reading for the site.

This spot has a great view of the city. The pagoda looks unique but unfortunately closed and no bathrooms available. The people using narcotics were also a minus.

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.

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.

Not a bad casino, remember when playing slots to hit and leave. Most of the regular slots I've played do hit and I finally hit a 4 of a kind on video poker. Just walk away when up.

Lots of seating at the track (indoor and outdoor) decent food options, clean bathrooms, decent amount of casino games.

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

Absolutely by far one of the top greatest experiences I've had in my 65+ years, and to top it off Alex and Emma made it even more awesome. Best guides ever. Can't wait to make this an annual event....thank you to all the staff as each one of you were AMAZING

For anybody who has adventurous kiddos, I've got a place for you. My 7-year-old daughter and I checked out Refreshing Mountain for the first time yesterday and spent nearly 5 hours there of pure fun. Together we did 5 ziplines, tackled all three levels of the the ropes course, climbed a rock wall, fed some barn animals, enjoyed the beautiful playground, road pedal carts, and so much more. The property was clean and the staff was so welcoming and helpful (it actually felt unrealistic because of how most businesses are ran these days.) Choosing to spend our day at refreshing mountain was the best choice we could have made for our mommy & me day! Run, don't walk, to enjoy your own day at Refreshing Mountain. 🤸You SO won't be disappointed. (And if you can, request Starla and Thaddeus - they were the bomb.)

5 stars — Because where else can your kids fly through trees, hug a pig, become wild plant experts, AND be fully worn out before dinner? Refreshing Mountain has officially earned its spot as our family’s home away from home. We’ve been coming here at least twice a year for seven years straight (minus the COVID gap we’ve all blacked out). And every single visit has been pure magic. Today? Top-tier. We ziplined, tackled obstacle courses, climbed walls like tiny action heroes, and visited the farm where one of my kids fell deeply in love with a pig. (We are now apparently a “we need a pet pig” household. Send help.) But this time, we also tried something new—a foraging class, recently added to their already amazing lineup of activities. My kids are now self-proclaimed wild plant experts, and I’m only slightly concerned they’re going to start making backyard salads out of suspicious leaves. But in all seriousness? It was fantastic. Educational, hands-on, and so much fun that no one even asked for snacks during it. A miracle. And then there’s the moment that keeps us coming back: years ago, when my disabled son Rhys couldn’t zipline on his own, the incredible staff made it happen with a tandem ride that let him soar through the trees like a superhero. It was a moment I’ll never forget—and the kind of kindness and intentional inclusion that defines Refreshing Mountain. Every staff member we’ve met has been welcoming, patient, and genuinely happy to help families make unforgettable memories (even if we’re loud, chaotic, and slightly muddy). This place isn’t just an adventure—it’s a gift. 1000/10 recommend. Just maybe don’t come during peak Carlisle car show traffic, unless you enjoy testing your patience before the ropes course.

We enjoyed our experience on the zip lines, rock walls, pedal cars, sling shots, and four levels of the ropes course — a hugeTHANK YOU to the kind and encouraging Refreshing Mountain Staff!

We attended the homeschool day and it was truly "refreshing." The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and very inviting. The check in was super easy, the staff is amazing and so friendly. My girls (5,9 and 11) had fun from 10 am to 5 pm, non stop! The price for the homeschool day is super reasonable and we are grateful to have this available to us. Thank you all we can't wait go back.

This camp was truly amazing. My family and I inquired and competed the zip line activities. The instructors were kind and new their job perfectly. We had full confidence in the staff with our safety at hand literally.

Absolutely wonderful! The staff was very friendly at every point. Brings the focus of Christmas back on the true reason for the season - the birth of Jesus. The lights are breathtaking. The whole experience was exceptional. I will be back! Thank you to these sweet folks for putting this together ❤️ Very encouraging!

🌟 Amazing All Year! 🌿 Longwood is one of my favorite gardens to visit. Its expansive and beautifully designed landscape showcases a variety of garden styles. You can relax, wander, and endlessly explore everything it has to offer. Don't Miss: 🌷 Outdoor gardens such as the Rose Garden, Italian Water Garden, Topiary Garden, Idea Garden, Flower Garden Walk, Meadow Garden, Pierce's Woods and Forest Walk. 🌿 The Conservatory—with exotic plants, orchids, palms, ferns and stunning seasonal display. It also has a children's play area. 🌴 Longwood Reimagined—new area featuring Mediterranean plants. 🎆 Summer Fountain Shows—spectacular performances of water, light, and music (check the schedule online). 🎄 Holidays are exceptional! The gardens are spectacular and decorated throughout. 🍂 Here are a few tips: • Purchase tickets in advance (online recommended). So many people visit that this is critical. • Family-friendly but no pets. • Check the weather, as much of the garden is outdoors. • Wear comfortable shoes for walking. •Visit the website to see what’s in bloom and view upcoming concerts or events—tickets sell quickly. • Parking is free, but it can be a bit of a walk to the entrance. You may drop off guests before parking. 🥗 Snacks & Dining There are a variety of dining options from casual to fine dining. • The Cafe and Beer Garden have a wide range of food and beverages. You can eat inside or outside. • 1901 is their highend restaurant. Be sure to make reservations. • During the winter holidays, you’ll often find stands along the paths selling hot drinks and snacks. 📷 Photos capture Longwood’s beauty throughout the year!

Longwood Gardens is truly one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. The gardens are perfectly maintained, with stunning flower displays, elegant fountains, and an amazing variety of plants from all over the world. Every corner feels like a new discovery — from the breathtaking conservatory to the vibrant outdoor meadows. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to share interesting facts about the plants and history of the gardens. The fountain shows are absolutely spectacular, especially in the evening when the lights and music create a magical atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone who wants to relax and enjoy some quiet time surrounded by beauty. Whether you visit in spring, summer, fall, or during the holiday season, Longwood Gardens never fails to impress.

This is one of the more spread out gardens I've been to. Be ready to walk and wander about. It isn't a criticism just a fact that you will need to walk between features along nicely paved walking paths. The conservatories were amazing! Their chrysanthemums were phenomenal. The bonsai collection and potting shed were super cool and we really like how well labeled and informative everything was. Super impressed. I would recommend to anyone needing an activity in the area!

It's a beautiful experience if you enjoy botany or nature. No matter what path you take here it's gonna be a fun but it's gonna be a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I was here for 5 hours and only made it halfway througn the gardens. I did stop by 1906 which a restrant in the gardens and just wow is it nice. Try the botanist lemonade if you get the chance. The staff there are wanderful, and food was awesome both in taste but in how its presented. I'm definitely going back.

Love this place-phenomenal displays every season. We visited in early November and still saw the autumn leaves. The special display was for chrysanthemums. It was beautiful. We find the map and trails easy to navigate. We visited with kids above 10 and the place was great and easy to walk.

Longwood Gardens is well maintained and have friendly and helpful staff. If you love gardens, plants, being out in nature it’s a good place to be. The various sections are interesting. We were here as a family and enjoyed the various sections, the musical fountain, and walking through the gardens. Recommend at least 4-6 hours to explore most of the garden. The water lily court, orchid house stood out.

One of Americas greatest gardens. A great day out in Chester County, Pennsylvania. So much to see from the tropical conservatory, the fountains, the water gardens, open air theater, Chimes tower,to the Italian Water Garden. My own personal favorites are the Eye of Water, the Peirce-DuPont house, the large lake and the meadow. Worth seeing in every season. An American treasure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ——————————————————————————————————

So beautiful!!! Gorgeous rolling hills, woods, gardens and hidden gems all worthy of a long afternoon stroll. We did the self-guided house tour (170 rooms - not all open to the public but a large part of them are) very beautiful and interesting and the guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful) and wandered the wooded hills and paths. (There are trams and buses throughout the day to transport people around the gardens and to the house and museum from the visitor center.) The museum is wonderful and impressive. Ours was a premier client company event and we all enjoyed a delicious - and let me tell you, it was delicious! - buffet of chicken tarragon, braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and gravy, a wonderful salad, and their famous (and rightly so) mushroom soup! It was a delightful day and I highly recommend a nice leisurely visit!

My family had so much fun at Winterthur Museum and Gardens today. The admission was reasonable and the facilities are really nice. Beautiful buildings, exhibits and gardens. The free guided tram ride really give you a great way to get to know what you’d like to spend your time doing while you’re there. The cafe has great food, too or bring your own.

After a quick tour of the house, I aimlessly strolled the surrounding grounds and was delighted by one wonderful view after another. The autumn colors and low sun complemented each other as the strong breeze kept leaves flying. I look forward to returning in another season to enjoy the changing views.

Highly recommend. Such a beautiful place to explore and learn at the museum and grounds for children & adults. Only $5/person if you have a DE or PA access card for you and up to 3 guests. Fairy garden was cute.

Beautiful gardens and mansion with quite a variety to see. The docents in the home are knowledgeable and friendly. The Enchanted Garden is a nice spot for kids and the guided tram tour that runs hourly (30 min long appx) allows those with mobility issues a chance to see much of the estate easily.

First visited the lush ground and wooded areas of Winterthur during regional cross country track meet. Was fortunate to finally experience the house and current exhibit. It was a great experience. The staff was helpful and the tram and bus ran even more frequently during my visit due to higher temperatures. I love the idea of breaking up the visit over two days. We spent much time on the cafe (yes they have wine) and house that we have to return to visit more of the gardens! Highly recommend

While we toured the museum, we were more focused on the gardens and walking around outside. Such a cute spot! Very beautiful and well-maintained. There are some spots uphill and unshaded if it's sunny, so just wear good shoes and sunscreen. Side note - My fiance proposed by the koi pond, so if you're looking for a beautiful location and an isolated and private spot to propose to a partner, the koi pond at Winterthur is perfect!

We went for our dad's 75th birthday on a full moon night. I would not recommend taking your older loved ones here. Hilly, gravel trails are what you walk on. We loved the enthusiasm and knowledge of the volunteers. We hated that more tickets were sold than expected (which we know helps the wolves) and we didn't get the small group tour to learn. The wolves are majestic and their howling beautiful. We did not get to see the entire sanctuary because there was not enough volunteers, that made the trails clogged with too many people. We took chairs and carried them. That sucked. You DO NOT NEED CHAIRS. There are benches and a fire pit by the gift store at the end of everything. My suggestion: bypass the moon nights and go when you can score a small group tour of the ENTIRE facility. We were thankful for all the knowledge the pony-tailed volunteer dropped on our large group of about 100 people. We appreciated the no kids under 16 rule for the moon night's too. There's such a rich, wonderful history to this place and we wanted to hear all of it. 5 stars for the wolves. 5 stars for the volunteers. 1 star for over selling tickets. Bottom line: go for a day time visit with a small group.

We actually had the pleasure of staying in one of 3 cottage's on the property. We stayed in the Paymaster's Offfice. It was an adorable cozy place that had a gas fireplace, a large air jet soaking tub, kitchenette that included a coffee maker, electric tea kettle, microwave, cook top with two burners, dishes, silverware, pots and pans. Breakfast is included with your stay and was delivered to the cottage by Maggie. Also included is a tour of the wolves. In the early morning hours, we had the pleasure of hearing a symphony of wolves. What a beautiful way to wake up. Everyone should experience it at least once. They take great care for these beautiful creatures. Our tour guide Michelle was very nice and knowledgeable about every wolf on the property. They all have a story to be told. I highly recommend going in the fall when the wolves are more active due to the cooler weather.

I loved my visit to the Wolf sanctuary. The volunteer was awesome and he worked there for over 20 years volunteering, extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot. I will certainly be going back when all the leaves are down so you can have complete full visual of the wolves. The grounds are pristine and well kept. Can you tell I loved it there?

We did the full moon night walk. The wolves were on and off active. We learned a lot from the guides. I wish you were able to know the entertainment before booking. There was a poet our night and not live music.

This is a really interesting place to visit. I would recommend it! It is an experience you will remember for a long time. You get to see them up close and personal. How they interact with each other and the guide does a great job explaining anything you want to know about them. You will find it educational and entertaining with guided public and private tours. Book ahead when they have limited availability. They also have a gift shop if you want a souvenir.

This place is incredible. The tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable, the wolves are respected and intentionally cared for, 1.5 hour out from Philly - worth the drive. Will visit again. Close to Shady Maple if you want some good food after your visit

We had a private tour with Denny; he was such a knowledgeable tour guide and passionate about the sanctuary. We got to see the beautiful wolves before their feedings, so they were active and eager to be fed. Hearing the wolves howling was amazing! In the 2 hours we really got to know most of the 55 wolves the sanctuary cares for. Denny was amazing and made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience!

A quaint little amusement/water park in Lancaster, PA. There are a few rides for the older crowd, but I think this park is geared mainly to the younger kids. My boyfriend and I took his 9 year old daughter and we all had a great time. You could actually spend the entire day at the water park if you wanted to. We didn't get to see any of the shows as we were only in Lancaster for a few days. It's interesting to see this park right along the main roadway. I believe the park was open in 1963, so I do not know if that highway was there at that time. There is also an area where you can walk through and learn about dinosaurs.

Our 6 and 4 year old grandchildren love it here. Their favorite rides are the Whip It, Old Fashioned Car, the small roller coaster, the Bee. They were disappointed this last visit because none of the dinosaurs in explore Island were working. A fun amusement park.

Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park 2249 Lincoln Hwy E, Lancaster, PA 17602 So I’m not gonna lie I wasn’t sure what to think when my wife said let’s go to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. Doesn’t really seem like there’s anything there as a quick roadtrip destination, but the fact that this amusement park is geared towards 12 and under and we needed some long overdue family fun we decided to hit the road. Once we arrived, the checking process was super easy because we bought our tickets online. People that were purchasing tickets on site were waiting forever in line 😩. Shout out to my wife for making the arrangements online. We got in and began riding all the kid friendly rides we could fit. First we went on a boat ride and had to identify different characters along the way. We rode the skylift across the park which was relaxing. Once we got off the skylift we went to a BBQ stand to eat and unfortunately that was the only bad part about the park. The burgers weren’t real ground beef, they didn’t have any of their sides like, and the smoked sausage wasn’t very good either. They also ran out of drinks so we had to get kiddie cups of water. After the dissster that was lunch we allowed the girls to ride a bunch of rides that parents couldn’t ride with them on. We watched a water show with an evil sorcerer, a king who’s princess daughter needed to be saved by the prince that was turned into a frog by the sorcerer because he wanted to marry the princess himself. We were able to finish off the park with a couple of family rides and rollercoasters as well as taking the girls to the gift shop and grabbing some souvenirs. If we ever go again we’ll stick to your traditional amusement park food like chicken tenders, pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, etc, but all in all it was a great experience and most importantly the girls had lots of fun!

My son is 7 years old and he is at the perfect age for this amusement park. Definitely worth checking out at least once. You can easily see the whole park in 1 day. We plan to come back during Christmas since they decorate the park all up & you can even book Christmas dinner with Santa & his Elves! Kinda a cool experience for your little ones before they get to old. (Insert tear) lol

Dutch wonderland sure showed me and my family a good time everything where age-appropriate, we try almost all the rides they could ride. The water area was great since i had my 2 year old and 5 year old even i had a blast. Staff was informative friendy if we could have found something they insured that we found it. We had gotten food while there a little pricey for chicken tenders and fries finish it off with a slushy variety of flavors. So much fun things to do loved it i rate 10/10

Really awesome place for a family fun day. SO many fun rides and things to do. Delicious treats and eats throughout the park - highly recommended.

I loved it here and cannot wait to return! I visited for the first time today with my husband (who hates rides) and my 2.5yr old toddler (who had yet to experience them). It is the perfect place to go as a family with a little one trying rides for the very first time. The rides are specifically designed with kiddos in mind, so the majority are low stakes and not very intense. I appreciated their easy system for riding based on height, and it was clearly posted at each ride. I also loved that I could walk into the rides with my son and get him situated and buckled before they began (of course workers double checked every time, but it gave me kiddo peace of mind to have me walk in with him). There were lots of food stalls and restaurants around, bathrooms in convenient locations (which included changing stations for littles), a first aid booth, strollers for rent (and plenty of places to put said strollers when on rides), games to play, and the entire park was very walkable. There were no crazy hills or long stretches of path where rides were not accessible. Wait times for rides were very short-- in fact, most of the time there was never a line. For the couple times we did wait, it was not longer than 10 minutes, and there was often shade or coverage from the sun. The water area was a blast and definitely helped us cool off. We went straight there to drop off our swim stuff (in a locker) which made it easy to get to when we were ready, and it kept us from toting extra stuff around all afternoon. The locker was for all day which was wonderful. There were so many things to do outside of rides. Shows, dives, pop up theater, Santa, a foam party, story time--it was a jam packed place. If you're looking for a place to take your littles for the day, look no further! Dutch Wonderland is the perfect place to go. Look for deals online for tickets. Kids under 3 are FREE!!!

I have been to this mall throughout my life on multiple occasions, but it has been a rare treat to come to this mall in my post-East Coast tenure of living in the area. The mall, however has managed to maintain two things amid an area of changes, tax-free shopping and high quality stores. Coming into this mall also on a Tuesday Afternoon, another thing that did not disappoint were the levels of the crowds, as there was something for everybody, despite being a weekday, where malls are known to be slow in terms of productivity in sales. Just for reference of how large this mall is, there are stores such as GAP, Rolex, Levi's, The North Face, Fan Treasures, The LEGO Store, and many others fit for all interests and needs in the form of physical shopping. Better than just getting your needs shipped to you. If you're hungry, then there is a lot of food options, both in the mall, and on the outparcels, gone, however, are the days of Don Pablo's and McDonald's on the site of the mall. Replaced by Popeyes and a Brazilian Steakhouse. Additionally, places such as Shake Shack, Main Event, Brio Tuscane Grille, The Cheesecake Factory,and even Bertucci's in the Town Center. The malls food court also offers robust options ranging from Popeye's, Five Guys, and Chick-Fil-A, up to SaladWorks, Mrs. Fields, TCBY, Cinnabon, and Carvel, all of which are catered to the wants of the consumer and their tastes that they may have. Still, the mall manages to be upkept properly in the state despite not being here in nine years, as it remains the only real mall in the State of Delaware that is thriving. Come here if you have nothing to do, or want to burn some time in the First State.

Very clean mal with tons of nice stores. The layout was a bit confusing, but I loved their policy for children having to remain with adults at all times! This policy created a very family oriented environment without any chaos. Well done!

A great mall as it has all the stores you need as well as the dining area has things from Asian cuisine to Italian cuisine. Also there is many stores with good deals and employees!

From North Carolina to New York, I passed by here. There are many delicious foods and shops. You can also refuel at Costco.

Lot of stores some old some new food court is always packed. busy mall Stores come and go mall is not to far from me ,no cell phone charging stations, Bathrooms were a mess parking is always crazy on the plus side is the cheese cake factory. It’s a mall it’s fun it’s nice it’s so rounded by some nice restaurants and other shops. Same mall nothing new

Christiana Mall is thriving. Great stores, Macy's, Nordstrom, JC Penny and other fine shops. Since the mall near me is pretty much empty, I enjoyed mall shopping here. Food court, climate controlled, easy parking.

The Christiana Mall is wonderful! We started browsing in their and it’s a greatest mall I’ve ever been to in my entire life ( equally to American Dream) but too bad it’s very expensive there and I didn’t get any thing there ( except a pair of sweet pant shorts from GAP and a slice of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory)! I had a great time there and I wish they would do better with their prices. I can’t wait to visit the next time.

Gorgeous platform setup! Gift shop was actually very affordable. I usually get sticker shock but was pleasantly surprised here! We had tickets for the first class parlor and it was very comfortable. Our server was wonderful. The scenery was great - farmland, farm animals, a small park, and other small attractions that the train goes through. 45 minutes is perfect duration especially with a child. We’re from honesdale — known for having the first locomotive train so we’ve been on several rides by us. But this one was so much nicer in every single way. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lancaster!

Strasburg Rail Road is a wonderful experience for families, students, and anyone who loves history and trains! The ride through the beautiful Amish countryside feels like stepping back in time — peaceful fields, horses, and old barns all along the way. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience both fun and educational. The vintage steam locomotive is kept in amazing condition, and you can feel the power and nostalgia with every whistle. The station area is also lovely, with gift shops, small museums, and food options nearby. Perfect for kids and groups — it’s not just a train ride, it’s a journey through history. Highly recommend visiting, especially in the fall when the scenery is at its best!

We attended the Cheese and Wine event and had a great time! The station looked magical with Christmas lights, wreaths, and trees creating a festive atmosphere. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the parlor car had a cozy, vintage feel. The train ride was shorter than expected, and since we went at night, there wasn’t much scenery to see—daytime rides would be better for that. The cheese and wine were delicious but the portions were on the small side. I do not beleive the ticket price reflected the quantity of the cheese and wine accurately. The gift shop was a pleasant surprise with lots of train-themed and holiday items. Overall, it was a fun and festive experience, perfect for the holiday season!

My friends and I are celebrating 50 yrs of friendship and I mentioned it to the conductor and next thing I know he come with balloons for us, we were so surprised. I had reserved seats in the lounge car which was great with the swivel chairs. The ride was great with interesting landscapes and the ride was monitored along the way. My friends and I truly enjoyed it.

Just fantastic 🤩 I've been on several train rides, but this is the most scenic and the nicest restored cars, and the most selection of seating. And a real steam engine, choo choo!🚂 And the cutest little train station village and shops. Best T-shirt 👕 choices. Just great fun 🙌🏻

We drove all the way from Cleveland, Ohio (6 hours!!) to ride this train and it was incredible. My 3 year old is obsessed with trains so instead of having a birthday party we decided to spend a weekend away to learn all about trains. The entire experience was incredible - meeting Mrs. Claus, dropping a letter to Santa in the hopes we will receive a letter back, the Christmas songs, the train itself was so nostalgic, Santa on board was great! We also really enjoyed the smaller train ride after riding the big train. All in all, we had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone. We arrived 45 min prior to getting on the train (like the email recommended) so we could spend some time to do all the fun Christmas activities. Also, shockingly enough, I found this train experience using ChatGPT. I'm a working mom of 3 with limited time so I took to ChatGPT to help plan our weekend away and this is what it recommended we do. So glad I trusted it!

If you're making a trip to Lancaster, adding this to your itinerary is a must. We were just there this past weekend and did the Santa Express car (they have different experiences and price points). Ours was just perfect, a little less than an hour, with beautiful scenic route, live entertainment with instruments and Carolers. Of course the Cherry on top was Santa making his way and stopping to speak with every child, give a small Candycane and ornament gift and take pictures with each family. In addition to all that, they have a lovely station with stores, eateries, and also outdoor entertainment. Super super cute! Will go back!

Wonderful live show in Pennsylvania! Had this trip planned for over a year. It did not disappoint.! The show Noah was awesome the actors and actresses were amazing .The live animals were awesome as well. The effects blew me away. I highly recommend everyone who can go see these live shows.

Beautiful theater, comfortable seats, ushers very friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough about the actors, actresses and the stage hands that brought the events of Noah to life in front of our eyes! What a wonderful performance! This was my husband and my first experience and it will resonate with us and those that accompanied us for years to come!

**Highly Recommended for wholesome family entertainment!** - This is comparable to a Broadway show in NYC except these stories are from the BIBLE and great for the entire family. - (All my family members agree) - In addition to the main stage, they have stages on both sides of the auditorium, which gives it a "surround" or immersive effect. - The plays include musical numbers for their many scenes. - They include some one-liners for laughs.. ..which brings some light-heartedness. - They have LIVE ANIMALS in the plays also; horses, pigs, camels, sheep, goats, dogs, birds, (the kids love it..!) - It is located in Lancaster, Pa. (a great family-wholesome place to go after for lunch, sight-seeing and staying the night) - Each of these stories are heart-felt; and include a good main theme to take/ bring home with you and put into practice.. - Our Family has seen the plays: Jesus; Noah, Moses; David; Queen Esther, The Miracle of Christmas. - I would recommend a weekday, since the weekends usually get booked-up quickly. - I also suggest purchasing them online, or calling the reservation center, to make sure you get tickets. (get sold-out quickly) - They also have a nice gift shop and refreshment stands in the main lobby - (we had coffee, soft drinks, and Glazed Almonds (delicious if you are not allergic) - Cannot say enough good about this place and will continue to come back (even the kids are grown-up now) lol...

Sight and Sound is a wonderful experience for families to go to together, friends, or for your children to attend. This theater truly brings to life biblical stories with great detail and very Supreme acting. They are very punctual at starting and I recommend that anyone that can go will see it. The costay seem high, but it's very worth it and you can understand the cost to operate such a theater. I highly recommend it to anyone.

We saw Noah on a Wednesday afternoon. The place was sold out even on a weekday. The staff is helpful and friendly from the parking attendants who parked us close due to seniors with walking limitations to the will call and concessions and ushers. The show is spectacular with the actors, animatronics and live animals. It is also very emotional with a lovely surprise ending. You won’t be disappointed with this experience.

My family and I had heard great things about Sight and Sound, but we had never been to a show until recently. It did not disappoint! Noah was outstanding, and my 4 yr. old grandson loved it! What a great experience! Thank you!

I’ve been a few times. The theatrical performances I’ve seen have been Jonah, Daniel, Noah, and The Christmas Story. This is one trip that’s worth repeating. Buy tickets MONTHS ahead. If you want to go on a specific date then order as soon as the box office opens, shows get booked super fast. I travel with a bus group. Now that part has its ups ands down.

What a fun and informative experience!!! Such a great family friendly and inexpensive rainy day activity (or a sunny day)! Our tour guide Austin was very informative and super friendly! The entire tour took about an hour and we got to parts of production of how potato chips are made! From the whole potato to hot fresh chips off the line! And you will never have a potato chip that good anywhere else! Absolutely must see if you are in the area! They have an amazing Christmas light display too during the holidays!

Had a great experience at Herr’s factory tour! We purchased tickets in advance, they were reasonably priced and easy to purchase. We very much enjoyed our tour. It was interactive and fun, with hot chips at the end! It’s about an hour, you get to see multiple locations, good for all ages. I’d suggest wearing comfy and sturdy sneakers as it can be slippery in some spots from the oil. Additionally, our tour guide was a very friendly and knowledgeable man. Would definitely recommend!

Herr's snack factory was a great stop during a small road trip along the way. The tour took about an hour by a wonderful guide named Valerie. She loved telling people about the legacy of Herr's and how the production takes place. There is some walking and standing involved, but this factory tour is actually in an observational room in the factory, not watching a video of a factory. It's very well engineered to safely observe without compromising food production. We learned a lot and I was amazed at the automation of the process. The best part is the fresh, hot chips at the end of the tour. Then you come back to the gift shop where you'll find something for every snack lover in your family. Stock up on the welll priced oops snacks for a great deal. We got a bag full!

What a great tour! For adults and kids too! Our tour guide Matt was awesome. . Gave us lots of fun facts and educated us on the production of the snacks made from start to finish.. He answered all questions with ease. The best part of the tour…. Tasting the hot chips right off the production line! Nice ending to a great tour! Cute little gift shop. Many gift ideas . I would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed the tour. We had visitors from the west coast & this was a perfect activity for a rainy, chilly day. The staff was personable, very informative, & the chips straight off the conveyor at the end were a welcome treat. The gift shop was well-stocked & there was a large “oops” section offering half-priced products that didn’t quite meet their exacting standards. Everything we purchased has been excellent. The entire plant was very clean & our guests were so impressed to be able to tour Herr’s as they had never been on a tour like that before. By the way, one of our group is a “cheese curls connoisseur”. She purchased a bag & declared them to be the best she had ever eaten. We are local residents so now we are excited for one of the greatest Christmas displays that can be enjoyed at no charge throughout the season. It’s always been a “must see” for our family. Thank you, Herr’s for giving our community such an amazing display every year.

Great place to go to with the family. We went here for a school field trip and had a blast. Now like most places they offer a gift shop selling various items like apparel, toys, snacks, and beef products. Yes you heard me correctly they sell beef here at Herr's too. It's actually an interesting story behind it. Which is told during a short film that's shown during the tours they offer. After your tour you get to taste the warm potato chips fresh out the oven. They are delicious 😋 To say the least I will never look at Herr's the same way, as I have a new profound outlook and respect for the company. Definitely will be back soon! :)

Such a wonderful tour and friendly staff! The history of the company along with the way they make all of their delicious products was a great time for my family. Who knew there was a 65 mph chip… ( you’ll have to ask about that story to your guide, thanks Tim! )

We are very disappointed! Today, we had planned to take a little boat trip to celebrate my Moms 65th birthday. Unfortunately, we got a call saying they are canceling our time slot and we have to move to another time slot. Which we are unable to do so. We planned our day just so with people coming in from out of town. This is unacceptable. Also, NOT the first time they’ve done this. However, if you do make it on the boat, you will have a great time!

We went on the 1:30 tour. The group was small, but Diane and John took care of us. The were very pleasant and personable. The boat took us down the Canal and out hosts shared some history and fun details about the area. The drinks were great too.

Fantastic!! We had a group of 9 people (7 adults/2 children) on board MV Breeze 2-hour evening cruise on 25 September 2021. The owner Steven, super personable, returned all my calls, answering all my questions, and helped me with the booking. We had a memorable time celebrating my mother’s big birthday. The weather couldn’t be better. The captain gave us some history lessons and local knowledge of the areas. The boat was very clean and drinks were great!! Cover charges and drink prices were very reasonable. There were only 2 other couples with us on this public cruise which pretty much felt “private” and we couldn’t complain. If you’re looking for some relaxation with beautiful views with friends/family, this would be it!! We would definitely return the next time we’re in the area. Thank you again Steven and all your staff!!

What a great time. Knoledgable captain and crew. Diane at the bar was just so accommodating. Beautiful scenery along the 2 HR ride.

I loved that they allowed us to bring our Rottweiler n yellow Labrador on the boat. What an experience!! My husband accidentally knocked over my drink and it was replaced immediately. Captain and crew were super friendly. 2 hrs for little money. It was a no-brainer!

This is not a huge boat. It's sized for about 20 people, give or take. That makes it a much more personal experience interacting with the crew. Both the captain and the hostess were very friendly, pointing out places of interest along the way. The captain even stopped the boat so we could get pictures of bald eagles. Is recommend this for small groups or couples.

I recently had a scheduled cruise out of Chesapeake city. It was cancelled due to weather. I understand that is out of their control. What is in their control is returning phone calls and following through on refunds. I hope anyone that uses them has no issues because they don’t do customer service if you have a problem. I’m not too sure of the foul weather was the reason why we didn’t get underway either. Was told by the captain the Coast Guard issued a weather advisory. I’ve been in for about 10 years now, never heard of us doing that. NOAA handles weather advisories. Really disappointed in what was supposed to be a great evening with my wife.

Lovely park with a boardwalk trail and playground. Very peaceful!

Beautiful place.

Nice easy walk with beautiful views of the water.

Beautiful, scenic and relaxing place. Perfect for family strolls. My kids enjoyed the walk along the bay, spotted turtles and enjoyed some outdoor exercise. Lighthouse was a nice surprise!

Peaceful and full of history, definitely worth a visit if you live in the DMV or are traveling to.

Pleasant place to relax. The Susquehanna River and its vast expanse flows alongside as you walk the Promenade. The Promenade is at least a 1/4 mile long. Maybe a 1/2 mile. It's enough to get your walk on. The Promenade is a very cool place and a good use of public space. You will find the historic Concord lighthouse, the historic house of the Lighthouse Keeper, a duck decoy museum, (no never visited), an eatery for a quick bite, a marina, and places along the Promenade where people fish for dinner. There's a pier that juts out into the Susquehanna. People fish there. Another spot where people fish right from shore is located near the eatery. Find this peaceful gem of a place in Havre de Grace, MD just off Rt 40 and down Revolution Road to its end. Make right. See lighthouse to your left. I come for the Nature. The place is a show-off with nature, birdlife and the river with its lapping "baby" waves. Its' a place where you can sit back, relax, take in the view and breath fresh air. Nice! People are friendly, too. -Bill Curtis /New Mark Advertising Specialties

Looking for a spot to launch your boat? A spot to picnic? A walkway to stroll with your family? A place of both historic & natural beauty? The Promenade is that place. You can avail yourself of the restroom facilities, the deli style restaurant and the pavilions at the harbor. A stroll will take you to the lighthouse. Top all this off with a wide range of shops and places to eat nearby and you have a place to spend the day or a vacation. Love this place.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was a great experience. It is a history museum that offers a wide variety of air force planes, including the largest C-5 Galaxy in the country, and we were allow to explore the control tower and some aircraft cockpits. Entry was free so as parking. The staff were mostly veterans, very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. We like the flight simulator and had the opportunity to hear stories from veterans. It was awesome to see in their magazine some countries in Africa with Air Force bases especially our beloved Cameroon, Nigeria and Gabon.

Last year, I went to the Air Mobility Command Museum to see a plane I used to work on. I was amazed at the history that is at this museum. The planes range from early World War II through present day. The tour guides are very friendly and most are incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the planes. It's been a great experience every time I go. They have what they call "Open Cockpit Day" on the third Saturday of the month from April through October. On these days, they open up almost all of their planes, weather permitting, so visitors can see more of the planes from the inside.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wonderful exhibits. You never realize how huge the planes really are until you see them up close. Incredible! Great for all ages.

I took my two grandsons to the AMC Museum and we had a really good time. The displays and descriptions provided are really well done. There's a couple of planes inside the museum that you can actually walk up into the cargo area. There's about 15 aircraft outside that you can walk around and 3 or 4 (C130, C141, & C5A) that you can actually enter and walk around the cargo area. My grandsons loved it and had a really good time. We were fortunate enough to see a C17 take off and land and we were very close to the runway which really made them happy. Have a guide when you go because you'll have more access to go inside certain displays, which we neglected to do. The museum also has a store where you can buy toys, clothing, postcards, etc. The parking lot isn't very big but seems to have more than enough spaces for the museum. I don’t think I'd want to try and drive up there in an RV though. Great trip overall. My grandsons were smiling the entire time.

Great place to stop and learn about the history of planes used in the Air Force. The volunteers were knowledgeable and friendly, and there’s so much to see and do. The gift shop is also worth checking out.

I'm not a history or military person, but this was amazing. We toured inside of planes & got first hand storys from those who "had been there & done that". They stayed open late to make sure we saw it all. We were there 2 hours & had to hurry to see it.

An absolutely amazing museum and a must do for anyone in the area. If you are a fan of military aviation, definitely worth a trip.

Absolutely gorgeous and so much to see. All of the staff was wonderful and super knowledgeable. Every one we encountered made us feel so welcome. We loved the little cafe as well. I can't wait to come back for garden glow.

Hidden gem!! Beautiful, easy to walk gardens with gorgeous flowers, trees and topiaries. Café serves delicious sandwiches and one of the best cream of crab soup, we have ever had!

Absolutely beautiful... I enjoyed my time at this garden. Definitely worth. Didn't get to see the butterflies exhibit, might have to go back to check it out..

Amazing Garden! There are several places to sit and bass in the scenery to be at peace or motivated. This garden also has occasional events and a tour of the Ladew home. It is a place worth visiting more than once, especially when they release the monarchs.

Excellent place to come get some nature in. The butterfly house is a must right now. All of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the property. The cafe is delicious. Try that chicken salad!

Wonderful place to peruse and enjoy beautiful scenery, lovely and vibrant plants, and interesting artwork. Wonderful butterfly house. 🦋 And delicious Cafe with the best carrot cake I have tasted in a long time.

A great place to explore. Don’t miss all the things to do on the grounds and the house tour. Every room is different. There’s a cafe with delicious items.

The campground is well maintained. The sites for RVs were a little close together. If you like tent only sites there a few closer to the water that had more privacy. Restroom facilities were updated and clean. Small store on site for ice/wood/necessities. The noise from the nearby road and train tracks can be a little distracting if you plan to sleep in.

Beautiful and spacious campsites with easy access to the restroom facilities, the lake, store, playground, and many other amenities. Most of the roadways are paved offering easy access. The hosts, Mike and Charity were absolutely awesome! The made us feel like old friends visiting. We returned home today and preparing to book our next visit.

I recently visited Codorus State Park, and I had a fantastic experience! Here are some highlights: - Clean Bathrooms: One of the first things I noticed was how well-maintained the bathrooms are. It's always a relief to find clean facilities when enjoying the great outdoors. - Private Camping Sites: The camping sites offer a good amount of privacy, allowing for a more relaxing experience. It felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. - Proximity to Water: The park is conveniently located close to water, making it perfect for fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the scenic views. The sound of water nearby added to the overall tranquility of the park. Overall, Codorus State Park is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to enjoy nature, whether for a day visit or an extended camping trip. I highly recommend it!

I've been coming to the pool and marina area since I was a kid. It brings me nostalgia. I love how the pool and locker rooms are the exact same as they were 30+ years ago. Surprised how there's not many Hanover locals out here. This is Hanover's best attraction.

I visit the lake on a regular basis. It's one of my favorite places to relax. It's disheartening to see the water levels fall during this time of year, especially since the lake in motion is always a beautiful sight.

Only was there for a brief visit but enjoyed my time. Well maintained trails, nice lake, didnt bring my fishing stuff but looks promising. There was a stand of american chestnuts along the trail i hiked that was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful campsites in a woods with 100 foot high trees. Dog friendly campsites available. Clean showers and restrooms.

Long review So the lobby, restaurant, store all so gorgeous and clean. The art work and design gorgeous. The Casino so clean. The staff nice and hospitable. The food at Dave’s great, but service mediocre. Luckies staff very kind and friendly. (Female staff need to pull back their hair). Valet staff very kind and prompt and professional. The room was the worse part. The furniture is old and beat up, along with the room it self. Lots of chipped furniture or faded paint. Burn hole in sheet, broken hairdryer, broken shower head and there was mold in the shower. Definitely NOT a 4 star room. The 3 rd day of our visit housekeeping came at 5 pm and acted very put out that we expected the room to be cleaned. The location is convenient to shopping and airport but not to Baltimore sites. Security is a lot better then down near the Horseshoe casino. There was a small but very memorable interaction between a hotel customer and what looked like Live! Cooperate staff (no uniform, wearing business casual) that I witnessed and those individuals should be very ashamed of their behavior and the representation of the brand they are hired portrayed. Overall not a “bad” trip but for the cost and level of expectations Live! Hotel FAILED Definitely not the luxury experience I expected Valet were amazing The bell man Bryan was absolutely the best interaction of the hotel staff. The gentleman at the Live! Shop was so knowledgeable and helpful. His approach made me want to buy everything. I had a great customer service experience with him. The guy at Luckies named Rodrigo was so polite and courteous and patient. One person that was a negative experience was a staff from the casino, older women with short grey hair in a red jacket was VERY rude Definitely did not represent Charm city or had a customer service approach when speaking to casino customers

I love going out to Live! to hang out for a couple of days when I want to get away from home to recharge, but not go too far. It's only a 3 hour drive or 5 hour train ride, and I switch it up. I get great comps!!! The players there are super nice and make me feel like I go there all of the time. The dealers and pit bosses are pretty cool as well. Any restaurant you eat at on site is delicious and the good part is, I never pay for them. I use comps. They really know how to take care of their players.

Only a very short visit but was impressed with the size and number of slots. I saw attendants cleaning machines between players. Restroom also clean. We felt safe parking in the garage. I got a first time reward card bonus of $30 and my son got $100! That made the visit extra fun! I will return when I'm the area.

I want to begin by stating that I qualified to a tournament to the main event for the live PokerStars series. I drove 9 hours from Canada to be able to attend this event. Shortly apon my arrival to the area, another car ran a red light and hit my car as I was advancing to make a left during the advance signal, the police got involved and my car was towed away. The police drove me to the Live! Maryland casino so that I can gather my thoughts and make a decision as to what I should do. Right as I arrived, a security guard named Malcom informed me that I had to leave and that they had no rooms available. I totally understand not having availability. But what was the reason for being forced to leave after having to go through such unfortunate situations? This was the least hospitable I have ever felt staying at any casino resort. On top of that, Malcom said I could come back the next day. That would if this happened on the 21st, that 22nd would conform to being the next day. Not to Malcom, he said I could return to play in the tournament in the morning, then he changed his mind and decided I couldn't return for 24 hours, after the starting time. Edit: I got a response from the owner regarding this review. Stated that they were just trying to look out for my well-being. That really seems to be in line being forced to sit outside between and 11pm and 4 am in the morning outside in the cold after suffering a concussion. Classic way to look out for someone. Beware of staying at this resort. You might be thrown out for your own well-being.

Live Casino is fine. Plenty of parking, easy enough to get in and out of. I go there because sometimes my job holds meetings/trainings there; however, I walk through the casino to get to the place. It always looks well kept, the service is nice, the slot machines look brand new, and there's also a smoking section in there somewhere so you don't have to go outside (if that's your thing). Enjoy and remember to gamble responsibly. The house always wins eventually.

For a property of this caliber, I expected a more spectacular hotel room. Like many casino hotels, the room was fairly basic and lacked any real “wow” factor. The casino itself was a pleasant surprise—spacious with a good variety of machines and tables. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. One thing that felt a bit off: when someone wins, there’s a light flash or a pop-up on the player’s screen. While no names are disclosed, it seems like a tactic to keep others playing. Personally, I found it a little cringe-worthy. On the plus side, there was ample parking, a good selection of food options, and the mall being just steps away was a definite bonus for convenience and variety. Overall, it was a decent experience, but the hotel stay didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the rest of the property.

"Excellent" hotel with above average cleanliness and service. Pedestrian friendly to several restaurants and shopping. Location is convenient to BWI and surrounding Laurel/Silverspring aareas. My go to for future trips to this area.

We had such a wonderful time at Medieval Times! The whole experience was full of excitement, energy, and great entertainment. The knights put on an incredible show, it really felt like stepping back into history. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly, cheerful, and made the evening extra special. However, our knight, the Blue Knight lost all his battles (just kidding 😄), but we still cheered for him till the end and enjoyed every moment of the show. It was an unforgettable experience for the whole family, and we can’t wait to go back again!

I've been to a few different Medieval Times. This was just like the rest of them, except for one thing. It's located in a mall. Took some time to figure out where the GPS was sending us! The show was fun..and our knight won! Food was decent. Service was good. Everything is SUPER expensive, but was expected. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

We went to Medieval Times on a whim and were completely blown away! From the moment we stepped into the castle, it felt like we’d entered another world. We were crowned as soon as we arrived and strolled through the grand hall, sipping on a colorful slushee served in a souvenir cup — the perfect start to the evening. The entire production was far more elaborate than we expected — a full-scale performance filled with medieval drama, gallant knights, and incredible horses that truly stole the show. You can tell the cast and crew put their hearts into every moment. The service was just as impressive. Our wench, Heather, was absolutely wonderful — energetic, funny, and on top of everything. The food was a huge (and delicious) surprise. The portions were generous, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. The “baby dragon” (aka roast chicken) was juicy, tender, and fell right off the bone. Between the food, the service, and the live entertainment, this was an amazing value for a full dinner and show. Whether you go for the knights, the horses, or just a fun night out, you’re guaranteed to leave cheering and smiling.

It is pricey. I spent around $300 for 2 adult tickets with upgraded seating and some other package they had. At the event I easily spent another $200 at the souvenir shop. The food wasn't bad at all, but I won't lie. For the price I spent, I was expecting more than half a baked chicken, tomato soup, slice of bread and half a piece of corn. The dessert was some store bought piece of vanilla cake and eclair. The show really wasn't too bad. The lances they just with are designed to shatter and give a better show and the seating is really close. The horses they were showing off were very interesting along with the falcon. Over all it wasn't bad and I feel it was worth the 2.5 hour drive.

I took my son to Medieval Times last night, and we had an incredible experience! The food was decent classic hearty fare that fit the medieval theme but what really stood out was the service and atmosphere. As a disabled veteran, I truly appreciated how kind and accommodating the staff were. They made sure I was seated a little early and comfortable the whole evening, which meant a lot. The show itself was fantastic! The actors put on an amazing performance, full of energy, skill, and enthusiasm. My son was absolutely captivated from start to finish. The entire atmosphere from the lights to the cheers of the crowd made it feel like we stepped back in time. Overall, it was a memorable night, and I’d highly recommend Medieval Times for families or anyone looking for a fun, unique experience. We’ll definitely be going back!

Took my son for a special boys night out. First time either of us have been to something like this and we were surely entertained. The staff made the atmosphere feel like you had stepped back in time. I definitely plan to go back again and bring my entire family.

I took my husband here for his birthday and we had a fantastic time! I can't put all my thoughts on here, because it would literally be a book, so best positives - food was delicious - the show is so fun - the employees were super nice Some things I personally think need to be better or upgraded - give the employees mics when they are trying to explain things before the show - merchandise is pretty pricey All in all, I recommend coming here if you are looking for a good time and it won't break the bank! I'll attach pics and vids, so you can see what it's all about!

Wow! What an amazing museum!!! We’ve visited it a few times over the years. Our whole family has always enjoyed it at all ages, little kids, teenagers, and adults alike. There’s hands-on activities for younger kids, and informative displays for adults. We watched a film display and the toddlers next to us found it just as engaging as we did. This museum really is truly great for all ages, and we have found it fascinating after each new visit. We spent 3 hours here, and didn’t even see every display. There’s so much to do and to look at. The staff were so friendly and well-informed. We really enjoyed chatting with them. I’m so happy that we were able to visit. My one piece of advice is to book the free timed-entry tickets as far in advance as possible so that you get the chance to enjoy this amazing experience!

The National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC is one of the most inspiring and fascinating places I have ever visited. From the moment you step inside you can feel the excitement of human achievement and discovery. The museum captures the full story of flight and space exploration in a way that is both educational and deeply moving. Every exhibit is designed with care and attention to detail making it easy to understand how far we have come in just a little over a century of aviation. One of the most impressive parts of the museum is the collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft. Seeing the Wright brothers’ first flyer up close is an unforgettable experience. The Apollo 11 command module is another highlight that truly makes you appreciate the courage and vision of the astronauts who first set foot on the Moon. The exhibits on modern space missions and the future of exploration are equally inspiring and show how innovation continues to push the boundaries of what is possible. The museum is beautifully organized and free to enter which makes it accessible to everyone. The staff are friendly and always ready to answer questions. Whether you are a space enthusiast or simply curious about science and technology this museum will leave you feeling amazed and inspired. It is a place that celebrates human imagination and determination and it is absolutely worth visiting.

Great museum! If you love aviation you will love this place! They have many airplanes from 747s to DC-3s to a wright flyer. They even have an x wing hanging from the roof! Tons of cool information, including about space flight and space craft. Only complaint is that part of the museum was closed for construction, but it's understandable because they have to renovate it at some point. Get tickets online in advance! Would highly recommend this place!

Great place for being solo, as a couple or family. You need to book your tickets online in advance as there are timed entries to enter. Amazing information, videos and models for explaining various aspects of space and flight travel. Will take about 1 to 2 hours to fully enjoy. Less crowded on weekdays versus weekends.

My visit to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. was absolutely incredible! The exhibits are beautifully organized and full of fascinating details about the history of aviation and space exploration. Seeing the original spacecraft, jets, and satellites up close was truly awe-inspiring. The museum staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the experience even more engaging. It’s the perfect place for both adults and children to learn, dream, and be inspired by human ingenuity and discovery. I left feeling amazed and deeply grateful for the opportunity to explore such a world-class museum.

Great museum. I didn't know that I can get the timed pass online, so I had to wait there for 15 minutes but that was not a problem for us. Incredible to see the real engines and rockets used for space exploration. My kids were 3,5 and 1,5.. they enjoyed the kids zone, but in general it is a must-go for older kids for inspiration.. we will definitely go again in future..

I went in late June and quite enjoyed my experience. If you are in the area, definitely visit. Unfortunately part of the museum was closed off and the lines were very long (but go incredibly fast). Gift shop is incredible. Exhibits are great, I liked the Northwest 747 the best. Definitely recommend checking out the Apollo Exhibit. I quite enjoyed my experience.

My visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History was one of the highlights of my trip to Washington, D.C. The moment I entered, I was struck by the grand architecture and the impressive displays that immediately capture your attention especially the iconic African elephant in the main hall. The museum is spacious, well-organized, and offers an engaging atmosphere for visitors of all ages. Each exhibit is thoughtfully arranged, from the ancient fossils and dinosaur skeletons to the dazzling gems and minerals collection. I particularly enjoyed the ocean life section, which features lifelike models and informative presentations that make science both accessible and fascinating. The museum does an excellent job combining education with visual appeal, allowing visitors to truly appreciate the diversity and history of our planet. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and entry was free, which makes it even more remarkable considering the quality of the experience. Whether you have an hour or a full afternoon, this museum is a must see in D.C. a perfect mix of history, discovery, and inspiration under one roof

The National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC is one of the most fascinating and visually stunning museums in the world. From the moment you walk through the entrance and see the towering elephant in the Rotunda you know you are in for an unforgettable experience. The building itself is beautiful, with grand halls, elegant architecture, and impressive exhibits that make every step exciting. It perfectly combines science and art, creating a space where curiosity and wonder come together. The museum’s collections are extraordinary and cover the entire story of life on Earth. The dinosaur fossils are incredible and make you feel as if you are traveling back millions of years. The Hall of Mammals is equally captivating, showing animals from every corner of the planet in lifelike settings. The gem and mineral collection is one of the most dazzling sections, especially the famous Hope Diamond which sparkles brilliantly under the lights. Every gallery is thoughtfully designed to be both educational and visually engaging. What makes this museum truly special is how it inspires visitors of all ages. Whether you are fascinated by ancient fossils, marine life, or the origins of humanity, there is something here that will capture your imagination. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and admission is free, making it accessible to everyone. The National Museum of Natural History is not just a museum but a celebration of life in all its forms, presented in one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington DC.

We visited this museum as a family, and it was an amazing experience. My 7-year-old absolutely loved it! The exhibits are fascinating, interactive, and beautifully presented, which made the visit enjoyable for both children and adults. The staff was welcoming and the whole museum is very well organized. It’s a perfect place for families to learn, explore, and spend a memorable day together. I highly recommend it!

We love going to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History again and again. There is always so much to see, explore, and learn. One of the highlights for us was the African safari animals exhibit. The animals look so real that it feels like you're actually on a safari! It's exciting and fun for both kids and adults. My personal favorite part of the museum was the human evolution section. It was truly amazing to see how humans have changed and developed over thousands of years. The displays show how we’ve evolved from early humans to who we are today. It really makes you think about how far we’ve come as a species. The kids also had a great time exploring different sections of the museum. There are interactive exhibits and interesting facts everywhere you look, so it never feels boring. We spent hours walking around and still felt like there was more to discover. The Smithsonian Natural History Museum is a great place for families, students, and anyone curious about the world. It's educational, fun, and inspiring. We can't wait to go back again and see what new things we’ll learn next time!

This museum never disappoints! There’s something fascinating in every corner — from the massive dinosaur fossils to the sparkling gems and the incredible ocean exhibits. The Hope Diamond is a must-see, and the animal displays are so realistic and detailed. It’s perfect for both kids and adults, and you can easily spend a whole afternoon here. Best of all, admission is free! Truly one of the highlights of D.C.

Smithsonian Museum of Natural History — The Story Beneath Our Feet After honoring the fallen at Arlington and reaching for the stars at the Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History brought me back to Earth — literally. It’s humbling to stand in a place that tells the story of everything that came before us. From the glint of ancient gems to the quiet stare of creatures long extinct, every exhibit whispers, You’re part of something much older, much greater, than yourself. As a Marine, I’ve spent years learning about survival, discipline, and adaptation — but this museum reminded me that nature wrote those lessons first. The fossils, the meteorites, the skeletal giants towering overhead… all proof that time itself is the ultimate drill instructor. It shapes, tests, and transforms everything it touches. Walking through the Hall of Human Origins, I found myself reflecting on how far we’ve come — and how fragile our place still is. There’s a deep respect in realizing that we’re not the masters of this planet; we’re its current students. For anyone visiting Washington, D.C., this museum isn’t just about science — it’s about perspective. It’s a sacred reminder that every breath we take is borrowed from something far older, and far wiser, than we are. But, never forget, Not all is as it seems 😉

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is an extraordinary museum that captivates you from the moment you walk in. Every exhibit is thoughtfully curated — from dinosaurs and ocean life to minerals and rare artifacts. It’s engaging for both adults and children, with modern, interactive displays and spacious galleries. Wonderfully organized and absolutely fascinating. A must-visit in Washington, D.C.

Beautiful experience. I added 4 ☆ because they allow too many people into the museum at once. If you want to read you'll have to plan at least 3 hours ans be extremely patient with the crowds. There were many group tours with young adults yelling and running but some of those things are hard to control. Thank you for a beautiful experience and museum.

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Review The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. is one of the most powerful and emotionally moving institutions in the country. Visiting it is not a casual sightseeing experience—it’s an encounter with the depths of human history, morality, and conscience. From the moment you enter, the design of the museum draws you into the gravity of its subject: dim lighting, cold steel, and a quiet that commands respect. The architecture itself becomes part of the storytelling, guiding visitors through a journey that is both historical and deeply personal. The permanent exhibition presents the Holocaust with meticulous care and authenticity. Original artifacts—train cars, victims’ belongings, photographs, and Nazi propaganda—are displayed alongside survivor testimonies and documentary footage. Each floor unfolds chronologically, from the rise of the Nazi regime to the liberation of the camps, allowing visitors to grasp how ordinary prejudice evolved into genocide. What stands out most is the museum’s balance between education and reflection. It never sensationalizes tragedy; instead, it urges visitors to think critically about moral choices, human rights, and the consequences of indifference. The Hall of Remembrance at the end provides a quiet space to mourn and reflect. Overall, the Holocaust Museum is not just a museum—it’s a moral experience, a place that reminds every visitor of the responsibility to remember, and to never let such atrocities happen again.

It's a place you might want to visit to understand how still WAR is invading out kindness, being deserted from your own house and being separated from your own family. How much hardship those traumatized souls had to go through and how sad they are! those who survived but feeling so helpless that we're not being able to control our problems and still ended up getting into the same WAR.

An incredible experience, the exhibits were thoughtfully planned giving a face to all who was effected. There were several school groups there but you could hear a pin drop as everyone was respectfully going through.

OMG!! This museum blew me away. Whomever curated this beautiful museum deserves an 👏🏾! From the interactive exhibits to being told that there were some persons working at the museum that survived the holocaust. Blown away!! Such an emotional experience.

I fell on my knees before coming inside, thought there would be a place to rest, but only a few places. There were some places to watch video where there were seats and at the end. Good place for history lovers that can stand for an hour. I'm glad I came, but it isn't a place for people with mobility issues.

Visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. today, and wow what a powerful, emotional experience. 💔 You will be moved bring tissues. The exhibits are heartbreaking yet so important. 🕯️ They use timed-entry tickets, which made it easy to get in with no big crowds, and it’s very simple to get to. If you’re in D.C., this is a must. It’s not just a museum, it’s an experience that stays with you.

It's interesting to read that this memorial was designed after a "healing wound." I think the architect did a good job at bringing that vision to reality. After taking in the Lincoln Memorial, we headed back east and came upon the site which is just off the north side of the Pool. The arrow-shaped memorial wall of smooth, dark, reflective gabbro rock starts at ground level then slopes ever so gently into the earth until its midpoint, where it then gradually rises back up to ground level, with a ton of names engraved along the way. A memorial directory is posted nearby to aide in finding names. Look for a small podium near the entrances/exits. Simple, striking, and beautiful.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. is one of the most visited and moving monuments in the United States, honoring those who served in the Vietnam War. It is located at National Mall, near the Lincoln Memorial,dedicated in November 13, 1982. It was designed by Maya Lin, a 21-year-old architecture student at Yale, it was controversy at the beginning, but became iconic. It honors members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, those who died in service, and those missing in action (MIA). The two black granite walls, each 246 feet 9 inches long, set in a V-shape, engraved with the names of over 58,000 servicemen and women who died or went missing. The Three Servicemen Statue – A bronze statue by Frederick Hart depicting three soldiers, added in 1984 to complement the Wall. The Vietnam Women’s Memorial – Dedicated in 1993, honoring women (many nurses) who served. The Wall’s shape points toward the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, linking it to the nation’s history. It's an open air Memorial, you can visit any time.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a powerful and thoughtfully designed site in Washington, D.C. The black granite wall engraved with names creates a quiet, reflective atmosphere that encourages visitors to pause and remember. It is conveniently connected to other major sights on the National Mall and located very close to the Lincoln Memorial, making it easy to include in a day of exploring.

I found this memorial to be really cool on the evening that I went because they were doing an orange light awareness activity with lots of candles. I also really enjoy how you can see your image reflected in this memorial. If you are by the Lincoln memorial feel free to stop by this one as well!

There was a quiet reverence while walking through this area, it was deeply appreciated. I was there to find a name for my friend; her husband passed in Viet Nam. The volunteers were helpful and offered historical documentation about the Wall.

Years ago I watched a movie called In Country about a young girl searching for information about her father, who was killed in the Vietnam War. I recall the movie as being average at best, but in the final scene, they film real people at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. It was so moving and difficult to watch I had tears flowing and could not stop. I could also hear several other people in the audience with the same reaction and when the show ended, I just stayed seated for the longest time and thankfully, my wife quietly sat there with me. Just to be clear, I’m too young to have fought in Vietnam but for some reason, it’s something that has been a part of my life since I was a kid. And so when I finally got to visit this amazing place after all these years, I took plenty of time to take it all in. This is a beautiful monument and it’s definitely worth seeing but at the same time, it was so jarring to see how amazing the monument to the Korean War and WWII were. Maybe take the time and visit all three. Michael Delehanty Compass Real Estate

Very nice memorial for all those we gave it all for the Vietnam war. A solemn place to honor and remember.

We walked to see if the family member of a friend was listed on the wall and it was. What a moving experience. The place is a solemn recognition that freedom is not free. The memorial has a wall with the names of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is a water feature and statues of soldiers.

This is a somber memorial to walk around. Dedicated in 1995, it honors the sacrifices of American, Korean, and United Nations forces during the Korean War (1950-1953). A great reminder of the forgotten war. My boys and I enjoyed it.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is a well‑designed site on the National Mall that honors those who served. The statues and wall of names create a reflective atmosphere, and its location makes it easy to visit alongside nearby landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool.

Very beautiful, eye-opening memorial. The sculptures are so detailed and I enjoyed my visit. It’s really sad seeing all the names of the heroic soldiers that died in battle for our country, but it makes me proud to see how honored our veterans are!

The Korean War Veteran's Memorial is solemn and poignant. The ghostly figures of soldiers almost seem hauntingly alive. All of the countries that participated from the United Nations are represented here, including Canada. A very fitting tribute and highly appreciated. I highly recommend visiting the next time you're in Washington.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is poignant and moving. The statues seem to come alive, telling a story of service and sacrifice. A fitting tribute to the brave men and women who served in the 'Forgotten War'.

I am a little disappointed about the care of this haunting Memorial. The artistry and care that went into designing and building the Memorial that honors thousands of US and South Korea Soldiers who fought and died in this war is being neglected. I would expect more care would go into maintaining this Memorial.

Obviously a must see if you're visiting DC! I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded but people were being very respectful and waiting for others to finish to take their pictures. When you get to the top you can see all the way down the National Mall which is great. Unfortunately the bookstore was closed due to the government shutdown, but still fun to check out!

A great place to honor our former president. You will never understand how big it is until to get to the bottom. The best time to visit is close to sunset when the sky is pretty and you can see the full reflection of the Washington monument with amazing colors in the sky. The addition of the ramp although blocks the view from the front, is a good addition for those with strollers.

The Lincoln Memorial is stunning especially at sunset. I didn’t realize how close all the monuments were to each other until I visited; everything is just a short, scenic walk away. As I made my way from the Thomas Jefferson or Washington Memorial to the Lincoln, I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever experienced. The way the light hit the reflecting pool and the memorial itself was just perfect peaceful, powerful, and unforgettable.

Lincoln Memorial The Lincoln Memorial is one of the most awe-inspiring landmarks in Washington, D.C., and a place that never fails to leave a deep impression no matter how many times you visit. Standing at the base of the monument and looking up at the towering statue of President Abraham Lincoln, you can truly feel the weight of history and the ideals he represented — unity, equality, and freedom. The craftsmanship is remarkable; the marble gleams beautifully in the sunlight during the day and takes on a serene glow under the lights at night. The entire site is impeccably maintained, and the setting along the Reflecting Pool makes it even more breathtaking. Watching the Washington Monument’s reflection shimmer in the water, especially at sunset, is a sight that captures the very spirit of America. The memorial’s inscriptions — the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address — are powerful reminders of the enduring importance of words in shaping a nation’s conscience. The atmosphere is peaceful yet profoundly moving. Tourists, students, and locals all stand together in quiet respect, taking in both the grandeur and the solemnity. Visiting the Lincoln Memorial is not just sightseeing — it’s an experience of reflection, gratitude, and inspiration that every visitor to D.C. should have at least once.

What a wonderful experience it was to have visited this truly historical place and to learn about one of the greatest presidents of our time. Reading and Gettysburg address was like stepping back in time and in my opinion is the best speech every written. Please note that there is a lot of walking if you visit Washington DC so really good walking shoes are a must.

The Lincoln Memorial is truly inspiring. The architecture, the historical significance, and the peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit in Washington, D.C. The view of the Reflecting Pool and Washington Monument is breathtaking, especially around sunset. The site is kept very clean, and there is plenty of space to sit, walk, and reflect. A beautiful and powerful reminder of American history.

The Lincoln Memorial is one of Washington, D.C.’s most recognized landmarks, honoring Abraham Lincoln with an impressive structure at the end of the National Mall. It connects easily to nearby attractions such as the Reflecting Pool, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Korean War Veterans Memorial, making it convenient to include in a day of sightseeing. The memorial is open 24/7 and especially striking when illuminated at night. It can be crowded during peak hours, but the space remains respectful and accessible, offering good opportunities to take in the views and history.

We were in the area and wanted to make a quick visit to walk through the battlefield park. The park is very well maintained and stretches out very far. There are several areas with signage and historical information to read about the battlefield. If you’re visiting during the summer months, be sure to bring mosquito spray with you.

What a great place to get exercise, immerse yourself in history, and enjoy nature. There are 2 major trails ranging from 5-6 miles. You can combine them for an entire day walk/hike. They are easy to moderate. There are a few side loops to be able to see more historical structures. There are markers along the way to learn about the significance of each area. It's a history lesson combined with physical activity! I have hiked nearly every inch of this park over the years. This weekend I hiked the First Manassas Trail and the Old Stone Bridge Loop.

Made a quick stop before heading to a concert, definitely will be back. I love history and cant wait to explore more of this area. They have a driving tour and quite a bit of trails to walk through. Beautifully maintained as well.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon, and no ticket is required. The visitor center has a small museum with very nice display of how the battle happened and what happened. It’s meaningful and also beautiful. Would recommend to visit if you happen to be in a nearby area.

A truly moving and educational 5-star experience! The Manassas National Battlefield Park is a phenomenal place to spend the day, and it felt like we were walking right through history. The staff is welcoming and informative, and the visitor center provides an excellent foundation. The highlight of the trip, however, was definitely the guided tour. The park rangers are extremely knowledgeable and bring the area's rich history to life, pointing out iconic spots like the Stone House, the striking statue of "Stonewall" Jackson, and the poignant plaques marking where officers like Brigadier General Bartow fell. Walking past the rows of cannons and along the classic split-rail fences with the wild views was breathtaking. The park has a peaceful atmosphere, but you can feel the incredible history that happened right under your feet. The interpretive signs, like the one about "The Marines Of '61," are also incredibly well-done. Download the NPS app if you want to explore with a self-guided tour—it's a great resource!

Visited during government shutdown. Visitors center and buildings were shuttered. Driving tour of the first battle included 4.5 miles of walking. Park isn't well-maintained and visitors litter / walk past litter. We picked up all we could (but left the dog poop packages). Tragic disregard for history.

Very nice preserved piece of history. There is a lot to see here if it interests you. The inside of the main building has quite a few artifacts and displays. Worth it to check it out if you're in the area.
