37 Best Stops Between Frederick and Dingmans Ferry (2024)

1 list

This was a spur of the moment stop on our road trip. We needed a place to sleep and the Rangers were very nice. We told them all we had was hammocks, so we needed a site with trees, and they knew exactly which one was best for us. The bathhouse was very clean. The showers were nice and had very hot water. We also got a perfect spot to see the northern lights.

This state park is really beautiful. The water is so clear. The day that I was there, it was extremely foggy out, making it difficult to see far across the lake. I plan to go back more times to fish and picnic with my wife.

Codorus state campground provided a comfortable and quiet stay. The trailer sites in loop C are spacious enough with plenty of shades and trees. The open field pet friendly sites are also large but provide no shade and it gets hot! You can feel the difference between these sites and the interior loop sites. No cross winds, no breeze, just hot! We stayed at site 116 with a 34’ camper and site 136 open field.Campground trails are ok for a short walk, not much of a lake view but mostly shaded trail. The pool is conveniently located maybe even walking distance for some. But be advised, this is a public pool open to everyone and folks start showing up at 7am, separate entrance road and entry fee was around $10 pp. The lake is great! Lovely areas to relax and explore. No swimming allowed anywhere but you can find places to sneak a dip 😉 just look past marina near state park public recreation area. The park staff won’t give you a hard time they just ask that you don’t go further than waist deep. It is a very large lake. We highly recommend that you rent a pontoon boat to head out and explore! Very worth it! All grounds and areas are clean and kept in great condition

We stayed in tent only camping site near lake. Kids and family enjoy the camping and afternoon in water park. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to spend summer close to nature. It’s kids friendly camping site and lots to do and see.

We had a fun group camping trip (A loop) including great fishing spots, an awesome pool, and friendly neighbors. The shop at the campground guard shack was a lifesaver. There's so much to do for all ages throughout the park and staff was super helpful with everything. Would absolutely camp there again!

Beautiful lake. Kayak, Ponton, paddle boat, Canoe rentals are also available.

Beautiful state park! Water was clean and warm. Great kayaking. Seen lots of paddle boards. The place is huge. Lots to explore. The campground had some very awesomely tall trees. But other than that it was your typical rv after rv. People everywhere. We stayed in the tent area. We used clothesline rope and shower curtains (or tarps) for privacy barriers. If you camp for peace and quiet don't camp here. Worked great for a base camp. We enjoyed our time here.

Codorus is a boater's delight with many small peninsulas that jut into the lake. As a result, there are boat launches all around the lake. Or maybe you want to keep your boat at the park, and you can do that. No boat? Stop at the rental center. You can rent all sizes up to some so big, you may see yourself as Captain Stubing. Bring that white hat and white sailing jacket and welcome your 15 guests aboard.There are great camp sites and one of the best camp host sites I've seen at a park. There's a pool near the campgrounds, which is good because there's no swimming in the lake, but people can't help but wade into the lake a little as it's so pretty.The park has two hiking only trails, But if you count the horseback trails and the mountain bike trails that you can also hike, it adds up to over 19 miles.Codorus's disc gold course is challenging to the point that the 2005 state championship was held here.There's also a scuba diving area called Sinsheim Cove.With all its coves and plenty of picnic tables, there's no reason you can't find a private spot to look at the lake or go fishing.This park even has a gift shop. Definitely a weekend worth of fun.For events at this park visit: events dcnr paFor more information: pa parks and forests(diamond)

I visited Pennsylvania's Codorus State Park for a birthday excursion in late July 2024. I had never heard of Codorus before my friends from Maryland suggested it as a possible daytrip destination. It was truly a very pleasant surprise.Although we only took advantage of the picnic facilities and hiking trails, I look forward to returning for the kayak rentals and possibly giving the well designed Frisbee golf course a go.

Stayed in site 88 and loved it. Very spacious. Friends and family were in surrounding sites, so we basically had the whole corner to ourselves. Flat and wide. Well shaded with tall trees, but little brambles and underbrush allowed plenty of space for tents. Bathhouse was well maintained and heated. Only stayed for a weekend and spent that time relaxing at camp (just the way I like it), so did not get to explore the rest of the park more unfortunately.

Hook very from none to full of booking beware of what type of site available Snagged a last minute weekend reservation. #62 Site was full hook up. Travel in a motorhome site slopped pretty good that it took all our leveling blocks. They slope for water run off but it's on the extreme end. This is a black top pad had large area with a picnic table and fire ring. This side is on a corner and over looks the tree. Pool is available for a fee it in the park but not in the campground area has a boat ramp but really for kayaks and paddle boards.very steep path/road The public dock is up the road. The campground has multiple styles of campsites from big rig to tent. The playground is over at loop C, sites are all open and minimal hook up portable water filling stations throughout. Larger loop area for dumping station near exit.It's a great place to just sit back and relax or hike.

The water is so incredibly clean. The boat rentals are reasonable. Lots of options for things to do on and off the lake. It's absolutely gorgeous. Will be back!

Codorus is one of the cleanest lakes Ive found in the area that also has warmer temps. We have been enjoying the lake this summer. No swimming, but you can wade to chest deep. Paddleboarding and kayaking is permitted with launch permit. I believe heavy duty float tubes are also allowed anchored in non boating areas.

This is one of our favorite parks to go. Love the boat ride there. You have to call before you go for boat reservation. Also good for a little picnic. The natural beauty is amazing. Lots of birds & ducks there. Very serine.

A beautiful park which has an excellent pool with 5 life guards and 2 curling slides. It was a bit of a drive from York but worth it.

Black Rock Lodge was the perfect location for a family getaway. Grandparents took the downstairs bedroom with accessible bathroom, the other 2 generations slept upstairs. The big kitchen/living room was a great gathering place.The kitchen had all the dishes, cookware and appliances we needed. The large yard had space for badminton and a couple of spots to fish from. More fishing and a boat ramp next door.The gate helped provide privacy as people tended to turn into the driveway looking for the boat ramp.Park staff was very helpful with a breaker that tripped and they answered a dozen questions before and during our stay.We had so much fun fishing and kayaking that we never made it to the swimming pool or trails. Next year, I hope!

We took our first family camping trip here and it was wonderful. All the rangers were super helpful and nice. The facilities were clean. There is even a small convenience store for items you forget to bring or run out of. My only issue was that the closest water source to our camp site was out of order and we were pretty far away from the restrooms when we needed to draw water.A little more planning on which spot to reserve next time on our part is needed.

This is the first time we have camped at this park. It's quiet and peaceful. Shaded slots are numerous. The staff is very friendly, helpful and kind. The women and men toilets/showers are clean. The women's bathrooms and showers could be updated. There is no shelving at the sinks to lay your things. The showers could use hanging shelves over the shower head to put shampoo, creme rinse, and soap. It's a great place to camp with family and friends. There are just a few inconveniences in the bathroom's.We will definitely stay here again. Book early!!

Lots of places to go and explore in this state park, beautiful sunset's, great fishing or just relax with the family

This State Park is phenomenal! Great place to take the kids for a swim, great camping, wonderful playgrounds, wonderful hikes, LOVE the mountain bike trails, wish there were more of those, pet friendly, great kayaking and great boating and fishing. This park is well rounded for nearly all outdoor festivities.

This place was overwhelming fun.. a lot of people but great selection of everything! The pretzels are a must try, haven’t tried anything else. Our pup loved his smoked pigs ear as well.

Great selections and good prices! Fresh meats; locally grown produce; artisanal, handmade cheeses; canned goods; bulk foods; and fresher baked goods.There’s also an Amish hand-crafted furniture store and a home goods store for checking out.Our kids highly recommend the donuts and cheeses. The handmade pretzels were also phenomenal!

OMG! What a wonderful place to hangout and shop. Loved all the little boutiques and shopping stops within, the quality merchandise, good food, baked goods and produce Definitely will be back.

Great place to find freshly made Amish foods, great decor and furniture as well! Love the pickled green tomatoes! A go to every time I visit! Highly recommend checking this place out! Fresh veggies, hot food and friendly happy people!

A cute little stop on a road trip, I love the doughnuts but would say besides fruit they lack any good breakfast for vegetarians. They do have doughnuts though which are always good!

They have furniture, candy, fresh vegetables and fruits, milk, pickles, bakeries and now some nice decorations for Christmas.It is fun to see around this store.We tried the fresh pretzel. It was rich buttery and soft.We bought two of the whoop pie, one mint chocolate and the other was oatmeal raisin. The mint one was very interesting the oatmeal one was good but typical. We also got a red velvet roll cake which was ok.All in all it is a fun time to go and see the place and all of its wears.Would recommend stopping by when you are in the area.

Awesome place! Lots to see, eat & buy! Definitely get a smoothie, they were awesome

Great selection of a wide variety of items. Friendly staff at all the various shops. The furniture can get a bit pricey, but the price is worth the quality. I bought a king sized bed frame seven years ago from here. Two moves later and no complaints, still sturdy and looking great.Decent amount of taste test items to see you want to buy the item.Great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresher than your local store.

Our family loves coming here. The salad shack, smoothie/ kombucha/ tea/ coffee stand (sorry don't know their name), the pretzels! All absolutely delicious. Candy 🤤 wish they were open all the time. 😅

We went in on Saturday, and it was packed. It took a while to be able to get to each window to order your food. Fresh produce was easy to get around, and their employees there are very helpful . I see their hours have changed, and now they are open 3 days through the week, which I wasn't aware of. It is a great experience .

We loved this place! Visiting some friends from out of town, my fiance and I got the most delicious smelling candles. This place is so clean and the produce and goodies looked absolutely perfect I have never seen such a beautiful selection of Christmas goodies in my life! Everyone was super friendly! Will definitely be going back.

We were on an RV trip and had to stop for some breakfast logs! A quick trip through the other food stands and we had snacks to add to our lunch, too. Lots of parking available and a good number of seating inside throughout to eat there.

Amazing food! Clean and a really great place for fresh produce and meats as well as phenomenal sandwiches, pretzels, baked goods and more.

I was like a child in a candy store. If you look, you can find deals. I found good-sized fabric pumpkins for $12 each. These days, I would have expected $20 each. Mind you, it was June, but grab when you find them. I recommend the "Salt" candles and room spray. My house and Jeep smells amazingly clean. I found deals on honey, molasses, and breads. They have a rocking chair that I'm going back to buy. It's so well made. My son wants me to pass it on to him. I think it will end up being a family heirloom.

Great food, candy quality, and a great atmosphere.

Went to this market for one of their car shows and the place was packed! Seemed pretty well organized even though the amount of cars was ridiculous. Be aware though that the inside food lines were very long. Overall the market was clean and had nice shops in it. Prices weren't great but not over the top either. Overall fun experience and would go back again!

Really nice collection of small stalls/shops. The pretzel was really good but we were too full from an earlier meal to try other goods, we will likely come back to try the baked goods and other foods.

Fresh fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices. Nice and clean market. Also nice gift shop on site. Plenty of free parking and easy to get to. Can be seen from interstate 83. You can get your knives and other items sharpened by an individual near the entrance of the parking lot. He does a really nice job of sharpening.

Nice market. Food stands. Candy store. Coffee. Cheese. Something for everyone.There a store/section that had lots of old style home decor. Wood hand made items.The whole place get a little crowded on a Saturday morning.

First time here!!! Came for a murder mystery dinner, ate at the hotel. Had a fabulous time. Amazing place. Staff was very welcoming to us walking around to look around before and after our dinner. Was offered a tour after our dinner. Would defiantly recommend to attend one of their events or even to eat there at the restaurant.Only thing i would probably add - with the selling the tickets - maybe add what all is being added with the chicken or beef.Possibly add the menu to the tickets, would be helpful on choosing chicken or beef.My significant other’s chicken was cold / I do understand that many plates are made at the same time, not sure if you have hot plates to have food to be under while waiting to be served.Otherwise we really had no complaints. Whatever sauce was on the chicken was very different, but a good different!!!! Loved it….,

Beautiful old building in beautiful small town. Spectacular pirate performance on 5/26/2023 42ft below street level in the catacombs. The staff and food and show great people and worth every bit of the five stars given. Worth the ride worth the time and money my only comparison would be if you liked the medieval times style show there you go! That show not for the little kids 16yrs plus at least.

Did a Murder Mystery Dinner for my husband's and best friends birthday. It was so much fun. When we first walked in we were greeted by a gentleman who stayed in character from the time we arrived till the end of the dinner. Drinks were made by the pleasant bartender Dave. All drinks were very good. I believe there were 65 people that attended the dinner. The food came out a little later than I expected. First course was a salad. It could have had more dressing. Next we received some broccoli soup. The portion was quite small. Next we received our main entree. I got chicken with a corn and mashed potatoes. My husband got the same sides but he got the steak. The chicken was very good, the corn was a tad bit spicy and the mashed potatoes were very good. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. Last was dessert. A chocolate brownie/cake with chocolate icing and some whipped cream. It was very good. I would say that rolls with butter would have been a nice "hold me over" since the food came out later than expected. My husband was chosen to play a role, which I believe they chose one person to participate from each room. He did a great job and definitely tried his best to get in to character. Overall the dinner was very fun and exciting. I would definitely do it again.

Want a historic place to visit where you can enjoy a good meal and delicious drinks? This is the place! Friendly staff with an incredible back story! The tour was incredible! You can host an event or participate in a murder mystery experience! They also have lodging! I highly recommend stopping in and checking this place out!

I came here with a group for a tour and a beer tasting. This historic place is very interesting and worth a visit, if not for dinner than for one of their murder mystery events. The staff is very courteous and addressed all of our questions.

I wanted to visit the catacombs since I saw Bube’s on Ghost Hunters. It became the focal stop on our road trip. I didn’t read reviews until we were close, and several poor ones worried me. But we had a fantastic visit. ✨The building is gorgeous. Our dinner reservation began with a brief tour and background of the property. The hostess walked us to our table downstairs making sure we were careful to watch our step.There’s a great cocktail menu, and the drinks were not weak! (I almost overlooked the shimmery liquor in my spritz because of the low-lit environment.)The seafood pasta and stuffed chicken breast were so delicious. I have never enjoyed brussels sprouts but ate every last one here. Zero complaints on the food, its temperature, or the preparation.Kendra, our server, was enthusiastic and attentive. We inquired and received a couple of paranormal stories. Even upstairs I asked if the bartender could wrap up a pint glass I purchased for our drive, and he did well to protect it. Great service from cool staff.The Biergarten out back is gorgeous. There are tons of games and ample seating. It all adds to the character of the property.Suggestions that could further improve the experience:*A confirmation text/email of the reservation*Bread to nibble on before entrees*Another vegetarian entree option (not a mushroom fan here)Overall, this was the highlight of our 10 day road trip. The charm of Main Street Mount Joy made it even more worth it. I would love to return, and I encourage others too to check out Bube’s.

If you want a fun, interesting and unique place to get a bite to eat and maybe even some entertainment, then this is the place. Industrial decor and catacombs downstairs as deep as 35 feet below ground level. Great food selections and plenty of variety on drink options. If you are looking for a really unique and fun time sign up for one of the feasts in the catacombs. There is also outside seating when weather is nice. Live music on Sat night and some other nights.

Tasty food, pleasant staff, great outdoor dining option. 😊The Biergarten was lovely and surprisingly empty given the nice weather, while a decent amount of people dined in the Bottlingworks.The Bottlingworks definitely gives off dive bar vibes but, fortunately, the food was not dive bar quality!The only downsides were that we came to see the catacombs but there was a wedding that evening (on a Wed) so they weren't able to let us down to check out the space. Additionally, the baked tomato bisque was spiced with sausage, which was an unpleasant surprise. I don't eat pork and the menu definitely did not include this in the description. In addition to the chunks of sausage in it, sausage was also ground into the soup base, making it impossible to avoid. The waitress was polite in removing it from the bill, simply stating that she understands everyone's tastes are different.

There isn’t an experience quite like the catacombs here, it was really unique! Our server was great and the beers were fantastic. The food was ok, but the location and beer stole the show more than the food.

I went to this place for diner after a day of hiking. The waiter downstairs offered an excellent service and the food was amazing. Not too pricy for the place and the service. I would have given them 5 stars if the hostess upstairs wasn’t so rude and Unwelcoming. We did not have a reservation, however, the bartender told us somebody had cancelled, so he would get us that table if they didn’t show up in 30 minutes. This made the hostess even more upset for no reason, it was like she didn’t want us in there. Made it very hostile for us, because we didn’t have a reservation. When we went downstairs, there were more than enough empty tables available, although not as many waiters. The caves were awesome and everybody was very nice( except from that lady by the front) the steak was on point, hands down to the chef!

Went for a special event. Had never been there before. Very unique experience. Food was terrific and despite being very busy we enjoyed the time catching up, my wife and I. Will definitely be coming again at some point.Our waiter I do believe was Jude. Very friendly.

Bube's checks all the boxes: Great food, amazing brews and a treasure trove of history and industrial atmosphere from a hundred years ago. My burger was juicy and the onion rings were crispy, crunchy and not greasy. I'll definitely be back.

I came here after a hike with friends and we really wanted to see what this place was about! The inside of the restaurant definitely didn't disappoint, and the drinks and food were pretty good too! I ordered fish and chips and I will say that the fish could've been more seasoned, but the fries were perfect! Come for the food & stay for the awesome interior, or vice versa! Either way, it was a unique spot that I'd be willing to try again!

Very unique place! Loved the atmosphere and the history. Definitely take the catacomb tour!! The food was ok, a solid 6/10, for us. Not bad, but nothing particularly special and the portions were a bit small, with the size of the Mac and Cheese being an exception. The beers were tasty and smooth. The staff was delightful and seemed to care. We would return for the experience, not necessarily the meal.Pork chop; dry and glaze dried quickly, making it impossible to get on the chop. Green beans were fresh but unseasoned. Mashed potatoes were good.Pulled Pork: decent, not a lot of meat, very standard tasting. Fries were excellent.Mac and Cheese: "wasn't horrible, but wasn't the best. Basic. "

We visited last night for our anniversary dinner, a rare opportunity for us to enjoy a night out without the children. The experience of dining in the catacombs was unique and delightful, providing a memorable atmosphere. Unfortunately, the quality of the dinner itself was disappointing. I ordered the crusted salmon, which lacked flavor, and my boyfriend chose the seafood pasta, which was not only small in portion—just 2-3 forkfuls—but also quite dry, as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. This was a real letdown, especially given how excited we were for the experience. With our limited opportunities to dine out as a couple, we hoped for a more fulfilling meal. Sadly, it missed the mark.

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Bube’s! Make sure to make a reservation at their dining in the catacombs, because this experience is truly one of a kind.The experience starts off with a little tour of the catacombs and parts of what the building started off as - a hotel. You end with being seated in a very aesthetic area of the catacombs. Our waiters were very nice, and even compensated part of the meal as the some of the food took very long to come out. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to check on us!The food was really good - the salmon and chicken entrees were delicious. The bruschetta appetizer was also tasty. While waiting for our table, the bar is available for you to order drinks: their holiday drinks are tasty, especially the gingerbread spiced ones!

Staying at the hotel in the newly renovated jungle room. What a fantastic place! An historic brewery from the 1800's. Brandon our server was awesome and Richard helped us immensely upon arrival. Kelly who handled our reservation at the hotel was beyond amazing as far as customer service. The food was wonderful. Looking forward to returning in the future. Came back for a second time and stayed in the Arabian nights room. We ate dinner at the catacombs, which was fantastic. Jack and Autumn are awesome! This place is an absolute gem and the rooms are works of art!

Awesome venue space for events/dinner/drinks and staff are great and friendly! The drinks and food are delicious. They are wonderful to work with for planning events. The beer garden is really neat and a perfect spot for your next happy hour or group mixer!

We dined in The Catacombs restaurant, but arrived early for our reservation so had cocktails at the bar on the main level. Good service with friendly attitude at the bar.The Catacombs were exquisite- the food was delectable, and priced fairly for the excellent quality. Atmosphere was charming and calming; the service was exceptional. Jude was not only our drinks fellow but had a roaring conversation with my other half all about English soccer teams. (We were the last couple seated and it was nice to have so much one-on-on attention.) Kendra was our main food server and she was wonderful too.Lobster bisque, which was seasoned perfectly, and heated to a perfect temperature, with enormous lump lobster in it and Stuffed Mushrooms were scrumptious!He ordered the Pork Alois, a meal for for a king and equally as tasty, and I had the salmon- excellently seasoned and served. We both had cocktails, ginger beer, and coffee; all was stupendous.Highly recommend for an intimate evening our and a unique, delicious dining experience.

This place could be amazing. But it’s not.A+ to our tour guide leading us down to the catacombs. She was fabulous.For prices as high as what are charged, this should be a 5* dining experience from start to finish. Our server, while friendly, was not attentive. We were left for long periods of time.I don’t understand how the roast chicken could possibly be served without some kind of gravy or sauce with dry mashed potatoes. For $35, I expected something more.It’s a shame because I’d like to bring family members from out of state back for the uniqueness of the venue, but there is nothing making me want to return.

We had a great time here this weekend!Not sure how crowded it is in the summer but everything was very bearable before memorial day. The kids even got to ride the coasters back to back! Def suited for kiddos 10 and under. Which was nice cuz there wasn't any rowdy teens hanging around.Park was clean. Kids had a blast

Dutch Wonderland located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania is about 3.5 stars. This park seems to be perfect for children up to about thirteen or so. Good for Birthday Celebrations or as a treat for good grades in School. All my children had a good time and the stand out ride according to them was the boat ride that climbs and splashes down. According to this adult the stand out rides were the motor cars and trains. The motor cars seem to be a newer ride while certain segments of the park is showing its age. A worthwhile stop in Lancaster for Children.

I took my 5yo and 2 1/2yo there in early July. We had such a wonderful experience that I know we would come back some day.First as a busy family, I appreciated the fact that we can use our ticket any day within the year. We had a last minute travel plan changes and we couldn't go to the park the day we wanted to.Varieties - we have been to three other parks before but this takes the gold as to the inclusive of age and heights of kids. There is something for every young age. There was also so much to do and the lines were not terribly long, average wait time for us was 15min. Though there was a lot to do, the park wasn't awfully big. That is a good thing for young kids that are not in stroller and parents pushing stroller. We were not too exhausted to go on more rides. The water park was fantastic! Lots of seating area for everyone.

This place is truly amazing to bring your kids. From the moment you step foot inside, you are transported to a fairytale world filled with enchanting attractions and exciting rides. The rides are delightful and perfect for children of all ages, creating a truly immersive experience. The attention to detail throughout the park is impressive, and it truly feels like stepping into a storybook. The staff are friendly and helpful, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Visiting Dutch Wonderland with kids is an unforgettable adventure that sparks their imagination and creates lasting memories for the whole family.

This is a cute amusement park. There are plenty of fun rides for kids of different ages. We enjoyed some of the more low key attractions like the spinning tea cups and the train ride. We had all the food and games there. We visited on a super hot day, and the highlight of the trip was Duke's Lagoon. This is a huge outdoor water play / splash pad area.

This place was absolutely perfect for our 5 year old and 7 year old boys. We got there when the park opened and stayed almost until closing. We were able to pack a cooler for lunch, and pop out to the parking lot with our hand stamps for a quick bite to eat, and then got right back to the rides and shows. There were hardly any wait times (maybe 3-4 minutes), and the boys rode many rides multiple times. The park was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we all had a wonderful day.

had the best time at Dutch Wonderland!!! such a cute amusement park for kids. my daughter loved the boat rides!! we will definitely be back!! definitely think the admission price is very fair compared to other amusement parks. everything in NJ is so much more expensive 😂😂 also would suggest seeing the diving show!! plenty of food/snack options too!!

Perfect place for family fun with little kids! You can bring in a small cooler with some food, especially good, for those with specific food preferences. Most lines are usually running fast and efficient. Characters were great. They have a character show that is entertaining and the characters also come out to sing and dance with the children. Season passes, are great for local families, includes free parking for the season, and a certain number of free guest passes per card hold for the season. Which is great if you have family or friends that can tag along for the day. Clean, not too large, and good variety of attractions. Plenty of areas of shade. Wonderful throughout this different seasons (i.e. Easter, summer, Halloween).

A great park to visit with Family. Kids of all ages can have fun rides. There are quite a few family rides as well. We loved the sky walk, family rides, rail, Show. Sometimes online offers discounted price tickets, parking is $22 or $27.50 (opposite to main entrance). Food options inside the park is not so great, I would expect more options considering this as a family park. Plenty ice cream options 😄! Visit is worth the money and is recommended

Preschool kids and toddlers will love this place! We came with our kids and my niece (ages 3, 4 and 6) and the kids were able to ride just about everything. Most lines were short, especially when the park first opened. The diving show was a hit! We also really enjoyed the log flume, it was the longest line but worth it. There were several options for food and the prices were reasonable. We all loved the fries from the potato patch! Everything was clean and organized. I think the entrance fee is a bit steep, but I would come back!

We really love our time as a family at Dutch Wonderland, my kids was super excited and had a blast! We had much fun with all the rides, it’s like a Disney park much little. We’ll definitely come back!

Went for the first time with 3 adults and 4 kids and had a blast- kids ranging from 4 years old to 12 years old and there was something for everyone. Parking (even in the non-preferred) was very close to the entrance still and easy to navigate in and out of- although a little pricey in my opinion $20. The wait times on the rides were very reasonable and there is a great variety to choose from. At one point they even had a dance party with the dragon and princesses in costumes and a bubble machine! Although a lot of the concession stands sold your typical pretzels/ dippin dots/popcorn we did find some good spots (I’ll review those separately) but my fave was the pretzel at Penley’s Pub! I also liked how they scanned adults IDs and only allowed 4 alcoholic drinks per ID, no obnoxious drunks at the park that is geared to kids! We also had a baby with us that nurses and the nursing facility for moms was GREAT, very clean, had AC (nice break from outside), a changing station and two rooms with rocking chairs to nurse your baby! I was very impressed with the park overall and it was a nice way to spend the day!

We Had a blast this weekend, there’s so much to do for the whole family! We will definitely be returning next year!!

We came for the nostalgia factor and I was pleasantly surprised how well cared for the park was (my last time here was in the 90's) Great place for families and kids. Staff were nice. Some rides were closed with signs stating it was due to inclement weather but it was partly sunny all day 🤷‍♀️ The water area could be better but serves its purpose on a hot day.

It was our family of fours first visit. We entered very organized, no wait. We purchased tickets ahead, which worked well. The park was very clean. All staff very nice. My 9 year old twins had the best day. We can't wait to go back!The park is priced very well and there is so much to do in the area.We will definitely go back!

Had such a great time with the kids. It's Oct! So lots of Halloween fun, candy, and great rides! Had an amazing time. The staff were well trained on the rides and made sure people followed the rules! Very clean has a private nursing station for moms nursing. The season passes are well worth the price if you can go a couple of times! So far we went 5 times this year with our new passes!! An especially great employee was DAMION he was working the hot air balloons near the slides and twister! He was very knowledgeable and friendly! Did a great job inspecting everything!

You guys, if you’re looking for an adorable park to take your little ones to; THIS IS IT! Parking was quick, security to get in was fast, prices were decent for a theme park and the rides/events were absolutely precious. In my opinion this is a park great for kids 10 and under. The water area has so many interactive things to press so you can cool down on a hot summer day. We watched a cute little water performance/dive show about a princess and frogs and the frogs splash the kids which totally got my kids so excited. The park is nicely shaded throughout and strollers were easy to purchase as soon as you walked in. The mark is immaculately maintained! I just can’t rave about this place enough! On our way out, each kid got a toy for under $10 so everyone was happy! This place will be a summer tradition for the next few years.

This is the perfect place for family fun with little kids! Perfect for children 3+. The food was not great. Prices for food are okay. Staff all around the park. Some friendly some not so much. Funnel cake and aunties Ann’s is the best part of the food lol you can bring in a small cooler with some food. Wish I would have done that instead to save some money. The rides are old and carnival like but overall great experience. Went on a Sunday and the lines were not bad at all. Most rides were open and operating. Water fountains throughout the park. 1 smoking area that was available if needed. The park could have been cleaner and more of an upkeep. Characters were great. Seemed to enjoy what they did. Purchased tickets online in advanced because it was cheaper than buying them at the door. Parking is 20$ so that is a little pricy when you’re paying 40+ for a ticket. Specially when it’s children rides and not adult rides. I would say 1 roller coaster is for adults the rest are for the kiddos. They have a character show that is entertaining and the characters also come out to sing and dance with the kids. I would recommend going and would go back

I love this place! Wonderful atmosphere, good shows, rides are a lot of fun. I had a blast. Couldn't recommend it enough. Keep an eye for deals, because they offer decent deals thoughout the year. Sadly, the only reason they aren't getting 5 stars is due to their concession stands. I was at 3 different stands and the teens/young adults running them didn't seem adequately prepared. For example, the Nathans Hotdog stand I had to get my money back because I ordered 2 hot dogs with NO LINE and 20 minutes later they I didn't get my order and everyone was walking around confused, while the hot dogs were sitting there clearly cooked and they acted like they didn't know when they'd be done. BUT it was good food and a good day! So definitely still come.

Very peaceful park with much variety. Kids were feeding ducks, there was a memorial to the veterans, a large play ground, covered picnic tables and a outdoor stage. The vegetation was nice to look at.

Has a wonderful park for ages 1 to 5 but they are currently renovating the 5 to 12 portion of the park.Lots of opportunities along the stream to feed the ducks.Great photo or picnic spots available. They also host farmers market in the summer.And its right on Lititz main street which allows you access to food within walking distance.

Such a lovely park. There were ducks with duck feed vending machines. There was a well manicured lawn area with a small creek running through the park. An adorable children’s play area is further down the path with a few pavilions for picnics or parties.

Fun park. They are starting to clean up older equipment. Great signage for feeding the ducks. Good bathrooms and pretty scenery. Difficult turning into and out of the parking lots from certain directions.

This was a beautiful park. There are grills near the boy scout pavilion, many other pavilions besides, plenty of swings and slides, lots of space for kids to run around, trees providing shade everywhere, a free parking lot, a lovely man-made creek and lake, tons of ducks to feed in the water, and really anything else that might come to mind when you think of a perfect park!

What a lovely park. Lots of trees and grass and setup for midsize to large events as well. There is a little snack shack that makes burgers, sandwiches eta. I was there on farmers market day and there was about 20 vendors and a 3 piece folk band that was super good. The springs are really pleasant. It’s a gem of a park.

Great park for a morning walk. Feed the ducks and enjoy some shade in the summer. Clean and safe area. Check out the Lititz Caboose. Lots of historical information signs.

This park is absolutely beautiful! I recently conducted a prom photoshoot here, and every aspect of it was perfect. #untetheredvisuals

Great place for a walk. Some of the businesses have free duck food so make sure you keep an eye out for it while you shop! The locals are so lucky to be able to enjoy this year round. I also loved the support of the Boy Scout Troop and how many great projects they added to the park.

Beautiful park with a stream up and down, full of ducks. One of only places I've seen left that offer the quarter for duck food and I loved it. From the photos my son loved it too 💙

Great place to just hang out. Went with two of my friends. We had a great time just walking around. We went to the swings, the park has a very friendly atmosphere also. The snack stand is open during the summer only though. (I'm pretty sure)

For 3 decades, we've traveled from VA to PA to visit family and attend the fireworks display at the park. Today, it was the Fire and Ice festival. I adore this historic town and recommend it as a "go to" if you are ever in this part of PA.

Beautiful little park with an easy walking path, lots of shady benches and a nice water feature from the springs. This place also has a nice shady playground with a wooden train playset.

We visited here for the 4th of July. It was a great time. Admission was only $13.00 online. They had a bunch of free activities from life-sized jenga to free cotton candy. The fireworks show was phenomenal - drones, lasers, fireballs. Will definitely be back!

A small park, perfect for families! There are ducks and stations where you can buy food for them.

Absolutely beautiful park. It's a natural spring, ducks all over the place. CLEAN. Not a lot of parking they have a playground, and they also have special swings for children with disabilities. They also have a snack bar hours vary.

This park is amazing!! There is all sorts of things to do. You can rent pavilions for a party or feed the tens of ducks. I've been going to the park and feeding the ducks bread since before the ducky bread ban. It is dog friendly and people friendly. They have amazing events and amazing parks. Just recently they took down an old park and will (hopefully) put up a new one. But they are always on track with replacing and adding stuff to make the park flourish. I love this park and would totally recommend to anyone and everyone. 💗💗

I love the underground spring. It's such a fascination of nature. And the local community is wonderfully full of quaint shops! Be sure to stop in here on your travels and enjoy an afternoon of walking around and taking it all in.

This is such a quaint park & a staple in Lititz. If your passing through or a local it's a great spot for a picnic, they have machines to feed the ducks, so bring your quarters, & it's a really nice place to take pictures. They also have a nice playground & plenty of parking. Top-tier for 4th if July fireworks.

Lititz Springs Park is an exceptional gem nestled in the heart of a phenomenal town. The scenery here is truly remarkable, offering a picturesque backdrop that instantly calms the mind and soothes the soul. It's a fantastic place for relaxation, where you can pass the time watching and feeding the ducks, a simple yet profoundly peaceful activity. The people in and around the park contribute to its welcoming atmosphere, making every visit a delight. Whether you're a local or a traveler seeking a serene escape, Lititz Springs Park stands out as a must-visit destination. Its natural beauty, coupled with the great vibes of its surroundings, ensures an unforgettable experience for all. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful theatre! This is my first time to watch a live show in a theatre. I was so surprised that the large stage could move and there were many lovely animal actors. The show that I watched was Daniel based on Bible and they made words in Bible alive. Keep praising the Lord!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome experience I'm so happy that I came for my first time to see God's word come alive even more. The show was beautiful. I can't wait to come back!!!!!!! God's word is active and alive 💓

We went and watched Daniel! Wow!!! what an experience!! There is a lot of time and effort that goes into this show. It is phenomenal! The theater was packed, but it was a Saturday. We were blessed to be able to get tickets. Online said sold out, but we called, and they had a few tickets available. My 8 year old loved it! He was enthralled the whole time! We had an aisle seat, and soldiers and animals came down right next to him on their way up to the stage. We had a great time.

Beautiful Architecture Is What Makes This Theatre Absolutely Gorgeous. The stage sets so colorful, engaging, and stunningly spectacular. The animals that are incorporated within the performance are so well trained, and wonderfully kept in terms of cleanliness and grooming, they flow so naturally within the creative theme, it is inspiring to experience. Definitely a 🌟🌟🌟🌟 professional two-and-a-half (including 20-minute intermission) production.

We've been coming to this theater for at least 10 years, and have seen nearly all of their shows live during that time. While all of their shows are nothing short of spectacular, their presentation of "Noah" ten years ago truly stood out in our minds as setting the bar just that much higher. Quite honestly, you're not likely to see theatrical presentations of this type done with such a high level of performance, execution, and technological wizardry outside of a Sight & Sound Theater. And the biblical performances are scripted and presented in a way to make them easily understandable as well as entertaining. It wasn't until our most recent visit in August to see their presentation of "Daniel" that we experienced a show like no other show we've seen here. The set design, costuming, actor performances, and show execution have us believing that "Daniel" is THE show you must see. If you were able to see the "Daniel" live-performance show streamed to local theaters during the recent Labor Day holiday weekend, then you have some idea of what a live show at Sight & Sound is like. As good as that theater experience was, being here in person to see a live show takes that experience to an even higher level. As of early September, it looks like there are still select show dates available before the last presentation of "Daniel" on 12/31/24. Tickets purchased in advance are required for all shows. As other reviewers have commented, we've already purchased our tickets for the return of "Noah" in 2025 as seats were selling quickly and we didn't want to miss the return of that very memorable show. We're also bringing two family members who want to see that show for the very first time. If you have an opportunity to see a show at a Sight & Sound theater in the near future, take advantage of that. Either "Daniel" or "Noah" would be two very memorable experiences that I would highly recommend seeing.

If you have not visited, I recommend you visit with your family and at least stay one night to rest in Pennsylvania. The work I came to see is Daniel's, a spectacular work, I assure you you will not regret it. One piece of advice buy your tickets in advance so that you get a good seat to enjoy your view.

I was blessed with a free ticket from a friend and greatly enjoyed my experience at Sight and Sound for the first time! We saw Daniel and the production was spectacular! From the acting, the animals, the set, added comedy, live vocal performance, and of course accuracy to the original story in the Bible, it’s definitely a production you want to catch before the year ends. I’m a Christian, but I think people of all backgrounds will enjoy this show and will experience first hand the beauty of God’s Word coming to life! I also recommend trying their glazed almonds! They kind of taste like little cinnamon buns!

We had such a wonderful time!We were not expecting to cried! This amazing shows was so vivid and beautiful. The cast members did everything right. The most impactful moments was the lions and the king transforming into a beast. WOW! Great job!Bathroom was so clean and they had a staff.

I’ve seen quite a few shows here, but my absolute favorite was Jesus!The show was so interesting- my friends and I sat in one of the first rows in the front, where we could feel the water mist in some of the scenes. It made it feel so real. The scenes were beautifully done, the actors were great, and it was overall such a blessed and fun experience.I also loved Jonah and how interactive the show was. Seeing the big fish in the audience was such a cool experience.I will be returning in the future for shows I haven’t seen yet. very excited to come back! Until next time!

Going to Sight and Sound Theaters was a dream come true. It was spectacular! I think it’s way better than Broadway, and obviously Godly. From the sophisticatedly engineered stage, the songs, the costumes and the acting; everything is top notch and absolutely worth your time! We’re planning to go again this year and I can hardly wait. We saw Moses. In December we will be seeing Daniel! We’re very excited!

This was our first time to Sight and Sound. We saw Daniel and was blown away by the multimedia presentation. The talent of the actors and actresses was amazing. The sets were phenomenal and beautiful. We've already booked to go back next year and see Noah. I've tried to explain how wonderful our experience was but honestly it's beyond words. If you haven't been you need to go. It's better than anything I've ever seen before, including Broadway. We arrived about 2 hours early. Parking was super easy. The lobby was open and we enjoyed walking around, taking some pictures, (no pics or video allowed during the play), and had plenty of time to enjoy concessions and gift shop.

I agree that the Sight and Sound theater company is far better than any Broadway shows in New York. It is a wow factor. I have seen a few of the production, and the story of Daniel was amazing. The production (lights, props, graphics, sound, that was a part of the musical Having live animals on the set brought their experiences to life. The singing was so melodious. They definitely brought the Bible to life. I love the song "There is none like Babylon, we are one." The highlight of the show was the invitation to share the plan of salvation. I highly recommend the music of Jesus, David, Joseph, and Noah. I can't get enough of these shows. The icing on the cake is embellishment on all you can eat eatery.

My family and I went to see Daniel, which was absolutely amazing! The acting, the scene changes, the songs, and the environment are extraordinary. 7 of us went, 6 adults and 1 child. We had front row seats, which made it seem like they were acting just for you.We can't wait til next year to see "Noah".

Saw Daniel and have to sayWOW!!! what an experience.I have never seen such an awesome live production. Actors were superb. The stage/props / animals were all simply amazing. Can't wait to see another show here.Facility easy to get to. Parking organized - and even with large crowds inside, everything very smooth.

Phenomenal show! The sets, voices, and special effects were wonderful. Staff and security were pleasant and added to the experience. Also, everyone in our group found at least one message to take away and learn from. (Daniel was playing this year, but I have seen several other shows in past years that would receive the same review - consistent excellence.) Side note: I recommend trying the roasted almonds.

Always a five-star experience. My family visits PA specifically to see the productions that Sight & Sound showcases.We've seen Jesus, Moses, Queen Ester, and others. We are already planning to come next year to watch Noah.God bless the cast, crew, and all those who help add to the experience. The live animals are always a highlight to see. The set designs are Broadway quality. Keep Thriving 🌟

I've been to Sight and Sound many times over many years and I always have a great time. The plays are phenomenal, staff is helpful and accommodating, there is souvenir shopping and snacks. Great place, l try to see every play....

Sight and Sound never fails to amaze me! They always have fantastic productions of stories in the Bible! You are surrounded on three sides by the stage, and it really makes you feel like you were there to witness the story! They also have live animals on stage! They have phenomenal sets and a very talented cast! Additionally, they sell freshly roasted glazed almonds right in the lobby, which are fantastic! I would definitely recommend Sight and Sound!

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Daniel at Sight & Sound Theatre, and what an unforgettable experience! The presentation of the show was nothing short of spectacular—immersive sets, breathtaking effects, and a powerful story brought to life. The actors were incredibly talented, delivering their roles with such passion and emotion. It truly felt like we were right there in the midst of Daniel’s journey.The only thing that could have made it better? If they had brought in real lions for the lion’s den scene! But hey, I’ll take the amazing stage effects over that any day. Thank you, Sight & Sound, for an awe-inspiring performance!

Hands down this is one of the best theaters and faith based production companies in the world! Their stage and audio system sounds amazing and their live productions from the Bible are beyond measure, highly recommend taking your kids and family to one of their shows, you won’t regret it.

Sensational!!! Saw "David," and it was captured perfectly. The graphics and artistry, physical and visual, unbelievable. Phenomenal experience.The facility is well-kept. The bathrooms are plentiful and clean. There's a cafe, and the pierces are decent. There are hot beverages and cold, treats and light fare. The 20min intermission is hardly enough, but staff do work diligently to get you through the lines.They start exactly on time, so really get there early. No blame, but we arrived at the door with tickets at 7:02PM, and we were kept out until 7:20PM. I was upset, but granted, we should have been early. Lesson learned. Next year is "Noah" so I'll be on time 😊.There's ample parking. Have fun.

The place is amazing!! From the entrance to drive to park to from the walk to the inside!! Took my mom as her bday gift! We saw Daniel and it was awesome hands down! The live animals, the lighting, the background effects!! WAY TO GO SIGHTS AND SOUNDS!!! We'll be back!!

An amazing venue. I got to enjoy a fantastic performance of Daniel with he wife last night. The set was jaw dropping. The signs was incredible. The story was incredible. The costumes and animals made the experience seem realistic and authentic. I can't wait to see Noah next season.

Such a great experience! The whole train station is breathtaking, especially around the late fall season. It's like a little old town. The trains are clean. We appreciated the guide and one of the conductors came onto our train and shared some additional info with us. Everyone was so friendly!

This was a nice experience for the whole family. We got the coach tickets and the seats were pretty comfortable. It is a round trip (45 min) and it's also educational. It was really a smooth ride.

Wonderful nostalgic ride. I was lucky and the weather was fantastic on the day I visited, so I enjoyed a marvelous ride in one of the open air carriages.That also meant that combined with the steam whistle, most of the announcements on the train about historic and current details of the route got drowned out, but I won’t hold that against them (it was my choice to go for the open-air car after all).The ride is just long enough to see a bit of landscape and enjoy the old steam loco without overstaying its welcome. I had a wonderful time.

Was super excited to try Strasburg. It had been on my must do list for some time.The train was quite nice. We were in a first class parlor car 88 which was not open air and had refreshment service as well as snacks. That was enjoyable. What I didn't like was I couldn't hear what the announcer was saying at all. The narrated tour was not heard. Unless you were seated right in the middle of the car it was impossible to hear. Also the ride isn't actually 45 minutes. You are on the train that long but there are times you are stopped. I guess that's protocol. It was enjoyable but not what I expected. On a side note if you have young children you may want to choose another car other than this one such as the open air. Parents of children in this car on that day were opening the windows for their children. Not a good idea and it hinders the enjoyment of the other guests on board.

What a great way to spend some relaxing time! The trip has a tour guide broadcasting over the PA with plenty of tidbits about railroad history, Lancaster County, and the Amish. The staff were friendly and very courteous. The station has a café, bathrooms, and gift shop, along with plenty of on-site parking. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience! We enjoyed the ride. It was a bit shorter than expected. I highly recommend the shop tour. They let you get up and close to the workshop tools and the projects. Would definitely recommend if you have time to go.

We got to the train station four minutes before we were supposed to board and they closed up shop and didn't let us on.We had to wait an hour till the next train which turned out to be fine.The train came right on time and we had no issue boarding.We sat in coach and the cars were nice and clean with comfortable couches.The worker by our cars name was Dylan and he was wonderful!He answered the children's questions and even agreed to take pictures with them .He worked very efficiently!The ride wasn't so long and had beautiful views but you don't get to see too much up close of Amish households.They have have a nice gift shop and a well stocked cafe where we bought drinks from.It's nice that they dont put too many people on a car so there is ample space for everyone.Its also nice that they have a audio explaining sights we pass .I would suggest not sitting in the first or last cars because the Smell of smoke from the conductors car is very strong and the sound from the horn is very very strong and it is sounded at every rail road crossing multiple times.It's also very cool to watch the conductor move his car from the front of the train to the back of the train by detaching himself from the first car and driving to the last car.We also got to see the Amtrak zooming by with passengers on it.All in all it was a wonderful experience for a relaxed trip to sight see in Lancaster county

Very fun train ride! We ordered tickets for the dinning car and enjoyed a nice lunch along the ride. Heads up, drinks are not included with the meals and they will charge you separately for drinks. However, you can bring your own drinks on the train. The lady that served us was very friendly and answered any questions we had. The ride was 45 minutes out and back; not too long or short.

This was a fun 45 minuter train ride, in a lounge car (those were the tickets I purchased). The attendant was very good, the conductor gave plenty of information that could be heard over the speakers. There was a nice gift shop and toy shop. Would recommend and would consider riding again if I'm in the area.

The ride was nice, but at 45 min in length, it was over before you knew it. It is an out and back ride so you see the same scenery twice. We booked the wine and cheese car. It was a bit pricy for what you got. Not sure I would do it again.

I could give them 1,000 stars … love love love this place. We take all the kids in the family. First week back in school so we decided to go! 45 min train ride in the coach car - all to ourselves! The sweet Conductor Steve played us a Johnny cash song on his harmonica and he was the most adorable man ever. I will never forget. The photographer was a sweet man as well.

I remember coming here and to the museum across the road when I was little and it's fun to take my own kids now. We really enjoy the little shops and playground, just wish the train ride was longer. It's a great way to introduce young kids to train rides and now the kids can't wait to go on another one. The area is great and there are so many other things to do to make it a whole day trip.

Recently attended a A Day Out with Thomas event and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend to anyone into trains. The Strasburg Railroad has nice historical passenger cars and the workers play their roles to perfection. They have a lot for kids to do as well. Hand crank rail cars, a small mini steam engine train for kids and parents, and a nice playground along with shops and food stations.

We took the dining car and it was beautiful! You do receive your own private table. Drinks are separate so you have to pay for those. Our waitress was great and the food was ok. We got the beef n cheddar sandwich and the BBQ chicken. They were a little cold but not bad. Next time we will experience another car and catch lunch in the area afterwards. 45 minute ride through beautiful country land. We truly enjoyed it!

The narrative train ride was great. We rode in the dining car and had a satisfying meal. The train was well maintained, the staff pleasant and knowledgeable. The children and I enjoyed every part of the property and shops.

I brought my son down for the "Day Out With Thomas, and we had an absolutely wonderful day, I thought it was a very special thing they do for the kids. And as an adult there was still plenty to see and do to enjoy. I will DEFINITELY be coming back next year, hopefully sooner if I can get a sitter for the Halloween train ride

Such a great day with the family at the Strasburg Rail Road! We really enjoyed the train ride, I wish the speaker was a little louder in the open air car. This is a must do if you are in the area. We enjoyed the general store and toy shop. All amenities were clean and new. My 3 year old really enjoyed herself. We will definitely return!

Steam Engine Train Ride, great American railroad. Coach cars are just fine, nice area to walk through with a couple of gift shops. Would be a nice Christmas gift along with tickets to see Sight n Sound and the Lancaster area.

Between myself, and a friend, we brought six kids on a ride in the dining car. It was the highlight of our trip!! The workers were so nice on and off the train and the facilities at the station were immaculate. The train itself was clean, cool, smelled nice, and was just a joy. We had kids ages 4-12 and all had a great time. The food was good and we have zero regrets. I highly recommend doing the train museum across the street. There is a play area with electric trains that was so fun.

It was great seeing this RR again after 14 years. The ride was short, but understandable. We rode in the parlor car. Very nice car and comfy. Going downhill with the steam was the main highlight for me. Plus, they have other things near by like the train museum, food, a small petting zoo and of course shopping. There's also a show program. But I think that's a little cheesy. Overall, this is still a nice experience after being open for like 60+ years. I would definitely go again.

While in Pennsylvania, we took our grandson to ride the steam train. It was a great ride and we all enjoyed it. We chose the open air to get a great view of the beautiful countryside. He loved seeing the steam, the train whistle, the conductors in uniform, and the switching of the engine from one end of the train to the other. A great experience!

We had a great time. The old steam engines are still amazing. We took the morning run and the weather was perfect before it got hot. We chose the open air car and we're glad we did. The ride takes you through open farm land with amazing views.

This was a fun train ride experience. We enjoyed the scenery. After we missed the first train they accommodated us and got us on the next available. They gave a partial refund too. The staff was kind and helpful too. There’s some nice stores and a museum in the area to go to while you wait for a train. The trains leave promptly so account to get there 30 mins early. We got stuck behind a lot of Amish buggies in the area. If you don’t preorder there may not be any tickets.

This museum is phenomenal! If you’re a train enthusiast plan to spend several hours to see the whole thing . It’s open from 10am- 4pm, and if you’re someone who likes to read the posted information cards at the displays there’s a lot to see!There’s a “Main St.” walk next to some of the more turn of the century, early 1900’s trains. That area of the museum really transports you back in time. It has examples of shops, a ticket booth for train fare, and a period example of a sitting room.There are some trains within the museum that you’re able to go into, although most of them are posted as do not enter. We were lucky and a staff member was giving information to a small group and let us go into a train car that was posted as closed for a private look around.This is a great place to bring your family and anyone of any age would completely enjoy this museum.We highly recommend also saving a bit of time to walk outside and see the train yard. This has exhibits that aren’t completely restored yet, or seem too large to house in a building. There are all states of restoration shown here in the yard and there was also a train that had scaffolding which was being rebuilt.The trains inside the museum appear as 100 % restored and are in pristine condition. Really loved all the information included about each train. We spent 3 hours here and I was able to see everything I wanted and take my time on the exhibits.If you’re in this area definitely stop here! It’s worth the $10 ticket admission!

The museum is AMAZING!!!! 🚂👍🏻 My and my brother’s first reaction was “WOW!” 😱🤯 As soon as you walk through a red tunnel after the tunnel you are immersed by all the old trains! 🚂 Definitely stop by here if you get the chance I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!!

This place was near my motel ("The Red Caboose Motel, ironically) so I had to check it out. What a massive and cool space. I walked up and down each row of trains and also across the bridge in the middle. Really cool to see all of the different trains and also peek inside a few of them. There is a little Main Street USA set that is pretty cool, too with life size mannequins in the windows. There is also a section of miniatures that I loved photographing. Wasn't expecting so much cool stuff! There is an outdoor area that you don't want to miss. That is where all of the old abandoned, rusty trains are. Anyone into trains would love this museum and even if you are not specifically into trains — it's still really cool. They are just so massive and interesting. I was there almost 3 hours!

My grandson and I loved the Railroad Museum! It is very clean and thoughtfully laid out. They had many real trains, lots of legos put together into a little town, and to play with. The second floor was full of working model trains, too.. My grandson was free, and I paid $9. It was well worth it!!

We were not sure what to expect and have been to many train museums all across the nation. We were pleasantly surprised by this museum. We had allotted less than 2 hours for our visit and easily could have stayed 3 or more to really see it all. There were exhibits, a boardwalk town to learn about the impact of the railroad in PA, multiple hands on places for kids to be involved and explore, operating small scale train layouts, not to mention the shear amount of engines, passenger cars, rolling stock in excellent condition and all with a story to read about. The outside yard was also quite interesting to walk around. It is worth the visit, just allow enough time!

A lot of work has been put into this museum to make coming here a worthwhile experience. The main part of the museum looks like a large railroad station of the 1930s or 1940s. Almost every piece of equipment inside has been restored to look like new. There is a display where you can go underneath a steam locomotive to see what it looks like. There is an operating model railroad exhibit in constant operation. We really enjoyed our visit. It was fun and educational.

Fantastic museum, full of a variety of trains. Gives you a really great history of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They have interactive areas for kids, videos to watch, and model trains setup in different areas.

Great museum. Most of the displays are closed off but there are a few that you're able to go inside. Great assortment of railroad history. The staff we spoke with were extremely friendly and loved to talk about trains. Staff was able to point you to items you may be interested in.There are trains outside that are in various stages of restoration. The museum does offer AAA and military discounts.There is a small souvenir shop where you can purchase a keepsake.

By far one of the best train museums in the United States. It's been about 5 years since I've been here and they've done massive restoration projects and awesome interactive displays. The kid coal shovel activity is by far the best kid thing I have ever seen in a museum. In August they showing local model RR club scaled train displays every weekend.

Great day! Perfect experience for my 7 year old daughter. She's never been on or near a train. We sat on the club car and brought our own food and drinks. Definitely wear your walking shoes. So much to see!

Another wonderful trip to the Railroad Museum. It's fun for people of all ages. Expect to spend a minimum of one hour there. (We were there about 2.5 hours.) I would highly recommend a visit!

Do you love trains? If so put this museum on your list! Magnificent restored trains from American railway history. Plan on staying for a few hours in order to see all of these exhibits. Oh and the price for admission is insanely reasonable.

This place is awesome if you are into trains and history. I learned so much more than what you read in the history books. They have different trains displayed and a lot of interactive activities. Must visit. Staff is very friendly!

Impressive museum with bunch of trains, even lego trains for kids. You can also drive your own little train if you are that enthusiastic. Great place for kids.

It's the best collection of well-kept engines and rolling stock I've ever seen. Leave yourself plenty of time to study each piece. There is a HO layout up on the second floor where the observation deck is. Across the street, you can take a ride on a steam train. Great job, Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania!!!

Cool museum showcasing an amazing variety of old trains that were once operated on Pennsylvania railroads as well as the history of railroading in Pennsylvania. I like how I was able to come into the train and tour the interior myself. It was pretty interesting to see the interior of the older trains. The museum staff were very knowledgeable about the trains and friendly. Tickets are at a good price and worth it. Great place to visit if you or your kids like trains!

Fantastic way to spend more than an afternoon!I really appreciated the option to enter, exit, and re-enter with my ticket after seeing the nearby Strasburg Railway. There is so much to see in this place, it is incredible! I appreciated that a lot of the exhibits were historic and came with a lot of context to where they were used and for what (e.g. on one of the smaller steam freight locomotives)!This is definitely a destination to plan your day around, not just a stop to take en route to somewhere else. This and the Strasburg Railway make for an entire day out, and not just for the kids!

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania stands out in the region, not only for its extensive collection of full-sized trains but also for its captivating model train displays. It's one of the most expansive museums around, offering a comprehensive and immersive experience that's absolutely worth the trip for anyone passionate about trains. Whether you're a seasoned railfan or new to the world of locomotives, the museum promises an unforgettable journey through railroad history.

Excellent place to visit old time trains. They also were having an exhibit of model railroading groups. If you like trains of any era, this is the place to go!

Okay this place is rad. You can even get into/onto some of the old trains. There were several old titanic engines that gave me the impression of standing next to a large animal, ready to roar to life at any moment. I would recommend this place to adults and children of all ages.

Was a fantastic tour and very interesting. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the jail and all different aspects. Enjoyed the open questions at the end as this was very informative too. I spoke with the owner for a while and had phenomenal insight as I asked him many many questions. Lol. He was so friendly, I could have spent hours talking with him. At the end of the guided tour, we were allowed to go back and take another look at the areas we have been to except the dungeon. I highly recommend this tour.

The Museum is not that big. It will make you after knowing history. Also, the guide needs to learn how to engage her audience.

The jail tour was good and informative. The building is in great shape and a historical gem.But, the tour could use some improvements, the tour starts with a video, but some of the narration was hard to hear and understand.Would be nice to add the second floor on the tour.

It's a very interesting piece of Jim Thorpe history. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took several pictures for us!! A must do in Jim Thorpe!!

Built in 1871, the facility was occupied as a jail until 1995. The Old Jail Museum located on W Broadway in Jim Thorpe is best known for where several of the Molly Maguires (an early mining union) were falsely accused, convicted, and hung for murder. At first glance, it looks more like a fortress than a jail. Upon entering, visitors will usually find themselves milling about in the entrance hall, which used to be the warden’s family sitting room. To the left of the entrance, it’s now the gift shop, and along with tickets, visitors can purchase books or souvenirs. Visits to the jail are via guided tours offered from May through October only. The entrance hall, gift shop, and old visiting area can be viewed by anyone, but to go farther requires a ticket. Tours were given last Saturday. However, my partner, his aunt and I arrived around 2pm, and the next available tour was scheduled for 4pm. We decided to opt out and save it for our next trip.

This was fun and definitely a recommendation if youre in Jim Thorpe! You learn about the past in a video, go down to the dungeon and back to the jail cells. There were crazy crickets on the ceiling in the dungeon. Its really neat to see the cells. You can visit upstairs and other rooms throughout. I would return.

Recommend the regular tour. Very interesting, informative, learned some history. Tour takes about 45 minutes and you hear a spooky story about a handprint on the wall. Very interesting!The "ghost tour" in the evening was wildly disappointing. Heard maybe 5 stories, 3 of which had nothing spooky in them at all, they were just stories. The whole tour took 20 minutes.

Take a stroll through history preserved. You'll be able to get a small glimpse into prison life. Take a step inside a real prison cell. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions we had.There's also a small gift shop inside tge prison.

Great tour! It was very educational and great experience. We had a group of 6 on a Saturday. We waited about 20 minutes from the time we came in until our tour started. Well worth the time and cost.Website is a bit confusing, because it seems like you need reservations, but they have no time slots available on the weekends. Turns out you only need a reservation on weekdays.

We had a group of 11, ranging from 68-2 years old. Everyone loved it! Wonderful family run tour that was very interesting and enjoyable! Would definitely recommend!

The owner of the jail made a great decision to buy it off. Now the old jail had become a important landmark of Jim Thorpe.

Pretty cool, great History! Interesting, informational, surprising, story behind all. Great Tour Guide. You can take pictures, except 1 thing . It’s a secret 🤫

Very interesting and informative. Tour guide was good. One thing for what I took the star off because the 15 minute video was very bad quality. Impossible to understand what they were talking about

It was very short tour, but great town to visit

This was a fun tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The history we were told made the tour worth it and you have ample opportunities for questions, pictures and some wandering on your own. It was an awesome experience.

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon while traveling and took the guided tour. They show you a l 16 minute movie first on the brief history of Irish immigration to the area and the history of the jail. After touring it was surprising that this jail was operating through the mid-1990s. We toured the first floor and basement/solitary confinement area. The second floor cell block was closed. We did also get to see part of the wardens area upstairs.Our tour guide was knowledgeable. The history is pretty interesting. The old movie Molly Maguires had a scene or several filmed here in a cell in the second floor that we could not access. The mysterious handprint in cell 17 is viewable however no pics allowed.We bought tickets on site and only had to wait about 15 minutes for the next tour.

An informative and slightly creepy place to learn about a sad history of the falsely accused.Our tour guide was very peppy, easy to understand, and friendly as she lead us around the old jail.Being able to walk into cells and see the gallows (recreation), put into perspective some of the plights of our ancestors.It was also intriguing to hear about the infamous "handprint" and see it in person.Overall I enjoyed visiting. My only suggestion is that perhaps it's time to update the pre-tour video.

Really cool jail to see and I like they give you time after the tour to explore sections on your own. I felt the tour could have had a little more explanation as they had other interesting facts after asking them more questions. I know it's been challenging to have enough guides though.If you're already in Jim Thorpe I would give it a visit.

It's a really horrific & truthful look at how prison life could be for incarcerated people. Our host & guided tour was impeccable! The Molly Maguires were a tragic story worthy of film making. The dungeon was simply terrifying even for adults! It is an absolutely MUST SEE if you are in the nearby area or just passing through!

Bought our tickets online ahead of time to ensure our spot when we’d be in Jim Thorpe. We took the 3pm time and chose to ride in the Dome car to ensure we could take it all in. The seating is first come first serve, so don’t arrive 5 minutes before departure, unless you’re not choosy about where you sit. It was a comfortable ride and we found the tour guide’s information sharing informative and interesting. Lots of history here! There are clean restrooms downstairs if you need it. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t as small as one you’d find in an airplane. I definitely recommend taking this railway ride at least once in your life. Thoroughly enjoyed and the conductor was so friendly & interactive with the passengers.

I recently had the pleasure of riding the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway in Jim Thorpe, and it was an amazing experience. We opted to sit in the open-air car, which provided stunning views of the surrounding scenery—I got some fantastic photos! Although it was a particularly cold day, the train staff went above and beyond by allowing us to move into one of the warmer areas of the train. Their hospitality truly stood out, showcasing exceptional customer service.The train was clean, well-organized, and even pet-friendly, which added a warm, welcoming touch. The views along the ride were breathtaking, and the onboard narrator did a fantastic job of describing the history and landscape as we traveled. It was a fun, informative journey that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We had an amazing time on the scenic railway. You can pay for tickets online or pay at the kiosk in person. You have options of which cart you’d like to ride in. I opted for the open carts tour.It was nice seeing all the green trees and the rolling tides. We visited during summer but I hear it’s absolutely breathtaking during the fall season.We saw people on their rafts cruising downstream and families biking on the trails. The overhead voice on the speaker system gave some very interesting information about the area and the sites we saw throughout the tour.I was mistaken thinking that the track travels in a loop, like a circle around the mountains. I was a little saddened to know that the train goes toward then back the same way. Same track, just forward then backwards.I had a great time regardless.

Our family really enjoyed the open air train ride. The scenery was beautiful and it was the perfect day to ride. It was a bit crowded but you could move freely around the car so it was still very enjoyable. Highly recommend this train ride and little town for a fun, family day.

I finally had the chance to visit the Lehigh Valley Scenic Railway over Labor Day Weekend, and it was a delightful experience. Although we were a bit early for the fall colors, I’d definitely recommend timing your visit to catch the peak foliage if possible.A few tips for future visitors:- Parking: The lots can fill up quickly, especially with visitors from the previous trip still parked. Be prepared for a bit of a walk if you arrive during peak times. A strategic option might be to arrive just as the previous trip’s passengers are leaving, though this could mean less time to snag a good seat on the train. It’s a balance worth considering.- Seating: If the weather is pleasant and you enjoy a more open-air experience, I highly recommend opting for the open-air car. The enclosed cars can get a bit stuffy, even with air conditioning, as others have noted.Overall, it was a fantastic outing, and I’d happily return, especially when the fall colors are in full swing.

A great family train trip. Because of the landscape on one side, doubtless better to be in an open train car than a closed one where one side is very open, but the opposite side has a lot of mountain stone visible. Plenty of parking, but come early and pay for the parking pass at a kiosk. Be sure to enter your license plate number because it is scanned on the way out as proof of payment. Lots of nice food vendors nearby. A wonderful experience, especially for children who have never, or very rarely, been on a train.

Beautiful ride. My family and I rode in an open air car on a beautiful day. My only wish is that the narrator would have talked a bit less so we could just enjoy the ride. He did have some interesting things to say, though, and overall it was very enjoyable.

The Lehigh Valley Scenic Railway provided a delightful escape. While the fall foliage had begun to fade, I can only imagine how stunning it must be during peak season.A few tips to enhance your visit:Timing is Key: Arrive early (around 10 AM) to secure a parking spot and a prime seat on the train.Embrace the Outdoors: Opt for the open-air car for a more refreshing experience, especially on pleasant days.The friendly staff and affordable prices make this a worthwhile outing. Weekday visits offer a more tranquil experience, away from the weekend crowds.Parking : AvailableRestroom : Portable /Restroom available

Take a relaxing and scenic journey through the Lehigh Gorge State Park on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. This historic train ride offers stunning views of the Lehigh River, mountains, and woodlands. Passengers can choose between open-air cars for unobstructed vistas or enclosed cars for a comfortable ride. Knowledgeable conductors provide narration throughout the trip, highlighting the region's history and natural beauty.The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a great choice for families, train enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a unique outdoor experience. While the ride itself is relatively short, lasting around 70 minutes, it's a delightful way to spend an afternoon. Be sure to factor in travel time to Jim Thorpe from your location in New York.

Saw the train pull up as we passed Jim Thorpe and we decided to take the train ride. Trains are very cool and in excellent condition. We boarded 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure. Cars are comfortable and fill up fast! Dogs are allowed as I discovered by two dogs barking at each other across the cars.Train ride is at a nice pace where you have enough time to take in your surroundings. Honestly there is a lot of trees followed by trees behind those trees that are in front of more trees, did I mention there are many trees?Heading forward and facing forward you will notice a 165 mile path that follows the train and wave to the people biking or hiking. The river has people rafting and kayaking. Other than that the scenery is pretty much the same but I think it was worth it.I wish the train had a nicer route like heading up a mountain but I don’t regret taking this tour.Watch out for trees😃

It is a nice place to take a day trip to and spend time walking around the town. A 45-minute ride on the train was nice. The narrator was a live person. I thought it was a recording - pretty cool. At their early because the place was packed. I bet there was 500 cars in the parking lot.

We had a lovely tour in the beautiful town of Jim Thorpe. There's nice little stands where you can get different drinks and snacks, which is nice if you have a wait for the train and don't feel the need to go from shop to shop. During the train ride, you get a brief history of the area, along with some folklore. I highly recommend the short excursion for kids and adults!

With so many other things on the Internet, this town of Jim Thorpe is nothing to write home about.Nothing spectacular about the scenic railway tour either. This is simply a train ride that loops around a 30 minute course with Lehigh river on one side and the mountains on the other. We did not see any spectacular views, and this was nothing more than a train crossing a couple of bridges over a river, and led us to the middle of nowhere and back. I personally would not recommend this scenic railway trip. Tickets are easy to purchase on the Internet and can be redeemed at the station.Be prepared to pay additional for parking.………I read the response from the scenic railway folks ….. LOLIt appears it struck a nerve with the folks running the show there. I did not mean any disrespect to the town or the railway company itself. But rest assured - there are far better ways to spend your $20 per ticket!When I’m looking at reviews, I look at the lowest reviews first and there are PLENTY OF 1 STAR REVIEWS HERE!!!!!!!!Look at the attached videos and decide for yourself before you get on the train. The videos are representative of pretty much the entire train ride back-and-forth.

Visited Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway today, hoping to catch the peak fall foliage. We arrived around 9 AM on Saturday, October 19th, and the parking lot, which charges $15 per day, was already filling up, but we managed to find a spot. There was no line at the ticket counter when we got there, and we easily booked our 11 AM standard class tickets for $22 per person. They also offer open-air class (no windows) for $24, and crown class for $24, but crown was sold out until noon.The round-trip ride took about 45 minutes. While the ticketing process and finding our window seat were great experiences, the route and views from the train didn’t quite live up to the hype. Pro tip: Try to sit on the right side of the coach in the direction the train goes—you’ll get better views than on the left side.By late morning, the ticket counter queue had grown significantly, so I highly recommend arriving early to secure parking and avoid long lines. There are plenty of food options available just outside the station, so you can grab a bite during the ride or after the ride. The town itself is very touristy, and walking around was a highlight of the visit. I’d love to return to explore the town more, but the train ride felt like a one-time experience for me.

This train ride is totally worth it!They offer 4 categories. I did the open cart at 5 p.m., and I love it! Remember to bring a light jacket after 4 pm since it gets chilly. I visited on Oct 2024 (fall), so you can't book online. Make sure you come earlier to get parking and to go in line to get the ticket. Price was $24 per person

This was a fun little ride. They have facts play over the intercom. I was hoping to see more of the gorge and landmarks but it's mostly just forest with a short view of the river and a small fall. Great for kids or those who want to experience the ride for the train itself. We did the open air car which was nice sitting sideways and getting to enjoy the river.

Train tickets sold at counter only during fall season. Ticket counter opens at 7 AM, best time for ride is 10 AM over weekend, queue forms at 9.30 AM, boarding starts at 9.45 AM, train leaves exactly at 10 AM. Best seat is river side. 20 minutes upward and 20 minutes return journey. Try to board open air car next to the engine. Parking will be easy till 9 AM over weekend in fall season. 15$ per car for a weekend. Till 9 AM it’s not that crowded, but it is a parking nightmare after 9 AM. Restrooms are available but it’s clean only early in the morning.

I had the pleasure of enjoying a ride on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway during one of the busiest weekends in the year. The fall foliage festival was occurring during the weekend we were in town and we did our research prior to arriving. We arrived to purchase tickets at 7am for the 10am ride and went with the crown class option. Boarding started at 9:30am and the ride left promptly at 10am. The train exterior was gorgeous and the inside was comfortable and clean. It was a nice surprise to have a toilet onboard. It was somewhat difficult to hear the narrator, however, we did enjoy our ride and views of the landscape/trees. During the Fall Foliage Festival, all weekends in October, the train rides are 45 minutes long with approximately 22 minutes out and 22 minutes back. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend going at least once to experience the train experience and history.

What a great experience! The train is very dog friendly, I even got my own special ticket! Wonderful views and interesting smells on the ride. I was able to sit right on the floor and even hopped up on the benchWe were in the open air car and recommend sitting on the river side for the best views. @jasperthedog2022

We were visiting Jim Thorpe, and this was on our list of things to do while there. We bought our tickets online and picked up the physical tickets at the booth. It was a weekday, so parking was easier compared to weekends. Give yourself extra time if you're visiting on a weekend.We booked seats in the dome car and got to sit comfortably in a climate-controlled environment. It was a nice day, so the open car would have been fine as well.We really enjoyed our guide (I wish I could remember her name). She was very informative and friendly, and we had a great conversation about the history of Jim Thorpe and the railway.We took lots of great pictures and had a wonderful time. We will definitely do this again when we return.

Went on a Friday 1 pm ride the second week of October. Leaves were not quite to their peak. Fairly busy and parking is limited. They could get more cars in their lot by making two rows in the middle and parallel parking along the sides. Lots of wasted space. The train was fun, the people were nice and the scenery was gorgeous. It was a little bit hard to hear the commentary in the open air car because people were being loud. Views are best from the river side of the train. The town of Jim Thorpe is worth exploring also.

Don't miss this terrific train ride to experience the beautiful Lehigh Valley scenery and a glimpse of life in the past...if it's not too hot out, I highly recommend the OPEN AIR train cars, where you can stand and enjoy the ride leaning on the side rails, or relax in the outward-facing bench seats. Pro tip: Arrive an hour before your train departure to give time to park, buy your tickets, and take in the Jim Thorpe vibe. Before or after, be sure to stroll down historic Broadway to experience a real manifestation of the beauty of old time 'Main Street' America. Jim Thorpe is worth more than one trip, and we will definitely be back!

I was so excited to take this train ride from Jim Thorpe into scenic Lehigh George State Park. The ride is 70 minutes long with the exception of October. It’s their busiest time so the train ride is 45 minutes long instead of 70 minutes long but covers the same distance to accommodate all the people.The views change with the seasons.I chose their first class lounge accommodations for the ride. We were the first car in the lineup. I got the last train that ran that day at 4:30pm. These trains fill up quickly.We were on a beautiful diesel train dating back to around 1917 with very comfortable seating large padded armed chairs on either side of the car and air conditioning. There is also two booths to sit in for a party of 4 if you bring your own food on the train and want a table. All seating is on a first come, first served basis.We received a complementary nonalcoholic drink, and a bag of chips for the ride. There was a lovely bar area on my train that served hot fresh coffee and nonalcoholic drinks and snacks.Snacks and beverages are also available prior to boarding in the town as well as outside the Jim Thorpe Train Station.The prices are based on accommodations.The train schedule is as follows: The train runs,11am, 1pm, 3pm, and 4pm weekdays. The train runs 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm on the weekends.In October even more with shorter durations.I was here the end of September and they added an additional train ride at 4:30 pm. Our ride was 70 minutes long. SEATING OPTIONS ARE STANDARD COACH, CROWN CLASS COACH, OR OPEN-AIR. PRICING IS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER TIME OF YEAR. VISTA CLASS DOME AND FIRST CLASS LOUNGE.The conductors were great, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had two and they gave us a thorough history of the train and the surrounding areas. We were given advanced notice to look for certain sights along the way which made it fun. This is a great way to take a break and take in the beautiful scenery, especially in the fall months.At the train station there was a dressed up bear shaking hands and taking pictures with everyone. Kids love this!We purchased our tickets directly at the train station, but you can also purchase your tickets online too. If you purchase your tickets online, you will need to check in at the ticket booth with your email confirmation to receive your tickets.Make sure you arrive at least one hour prior because parking is very limited.We had a wonderful time on Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railroad

I live in the Poconos but never took the train ride until now. It was wonderful, and everyone from the ticket booth employee to the ticket takers were friendly. Bonus - it's also very affordable compared to other train rides and pet friendly. I recommend a weekday for the best experience. The town runs an autumn festival every weekend, and parking will be gone by mid-morning.

Built in 1861, this Victorian Italianate architecture-style home was constructed over a span of two years at a total cost of $14,000 dollars. The Asa Packer Mansion listed as a National Historic Landmark was the home of philanthropist, railroad magnate, and founder of Lehigh University, Asa Packer, from Oct. 16, 1861, to Oct. 29, 1912.Located in Jim Thorpe, this building is recognized by a red-ribbed tin roof and a central cupola proudly atop Packer Hill with the commanding stunning views of the surrounding Pocono Mountains, where my partner, his aunt and I came for a tour today. Tickets were easily available and reasonably priced for the 1pm tour, which covered the entirety of the first and second floors.Our tour guide was a young lady (she mentioned she is a senior in high school) who obviously loves her job and is personally interested in the history of the mansion and family. From the furniture, woodwork, and stained glass to the artwork, she spoke about the history or significance. The mansion is not a restoration where pictures and video are prohibited inside. An amazing walk back in time, for which we can recommend this place.

Beautiful tour! You will have a tour guide that tells you all about the decor and Packer family that resided there. No pictures allowed inside the mansion.

Amazing historical step back in time to when coal was king! Asa Packer started as a worker with only an 8th grade education and bought a coal breaker. He climbed the ladder of success to become one of the richest men in the country! He built a home for him wife and children that is frozen in time! Informative tour explains life during this era. See the grand house filled with gorgeous antiques, amazing woodwork and all original furnishings. Definitely a must see!

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon. We arrived at 2:40 and were told the next tour was at 3:20. We bought tickets and wandered around outside, looking at the grounds and the Harry Packer mansion next door. Our tour wound up selling out, so definitely buy the tickets immediately when you arrive. Guided tours only. You cannot tour the mansion on your own. The mansion tour is very interesting. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable, and very personable. The tour covers the entirety of the first and second floors. The 3rd floor was not visible, because they were getting ready to start work on the roof to repair water damage. The entire mansion is intact with it's original furnishings exactly as it was when it's last inhabitant, Asa Packer's daughter Mary, died. Basically untouched since 1912. No pictures or videos allowed. There is no parking at the site. Either park in the paid municipal lot downtown or find paid street parking. The mansion is on a hill and there are a great many steps up to get to it, or continue up the paved street and access it that way. Either way, if you are limited in mobility, this would be hard. There are also steps on the tour. We really enjoyed the tour, and the mansion is a beautiful example of Victorian era architecture. We were familiar with Asa Packer, due to my husband being a Lehigh University graduate. But we learned so much about him and his family, and his impact on this town, during the tour. Beautiful views from the balcony. I highly recommend visiting the mansion. The price is very reasonable.

This experience will transport you to another era of inconceivably beautiful, intricate, & meticulously crafted grandeur! The woodwork is outstanding, the chandeliers flawless, wall paper infused with gold, stained glass windows, & machines that were state-of-the-art back in the 1800's! Our guide was an effective, professional, knowledgeable, & enthusiastic host that was dressed to the T! The house also had all the amenities that maybe we take for granted nowadays such as: A/C, doorbells, lighting, & running water. THIS MUSEUM IS AN A+ MUSEUM THAT YOU WILL NOT REGRET, SO DO NOT HESITATE A TRIP TO JIM THORPE TO SEE THE ASA PACKER MANSION MUSEUM!

A must-see in Jim Thorpe. The mansion itself is mostly original from the early 1900s owners. Our tour guide, Chloe, was knowledgeable and entertaining! The 45 minute tour is well worth the $13 adult ticket.

I loved my visit to this building and the town in general. Beautiful architecture and views throughout the town, and a few interesting points within a small walking distance. I would have loved to have done a few of the many available hikes but I ran out of time- next visit hopefully!

The Asa Packer Mansion Museum in Jim Thorpe, PA, is a treasured time capsule of the 19th century, offering visitors a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures in American industrial history. Built in 1861 by railroad magnate Asa Packer, this majestic home stands proudly atop Packer Hill, commanding stunning views of the surrounding Pocono Mountains. The mansion’s well-preserved interiors, complete with original furnishings and intricate woodwork, tell the story of the Packer family’s legacy and the era’s opulent lifestyle. Guided tours led by knowledgeable docents bring to life the fascinating history of the mansion, making it a must-visit destination for history buffs and architectural enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re marveling at the grandeur of the Victorian architecture or uncovering the secrets of the past, a visit to the Asa Packer Mansion Museum is an enriching journey through time.

A must see for history or architecture buffs! The tour runs every 30 minutes—we waited about 25 minutes only because we just missed the prior tour. Our “group” had about 12 people and the tour guide referred to us as a large group. Tour guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting facts about both the home and the Packer family. He answered many questions from the group. The house just can’t be described with words. No pictures permitted inside. The woodworking, wall coverings, drapes, kitchen, bathrooms—all amazing for that time period and remarkable that they are still untouched. 18 fireplaces!!!!! Highly recommend. Most tip the tour guide and the end of the tour. Tickets: Adult $12, Senior 55+ $10 I would not take children as you are asked to it touch the walls or items in the home (completely understandable) which would be difficult for children. 3rd floor is closed due to water damage from roof.

My husband and I took a tour of Asa Packer Mansion on my birthday. We loved every second of it! Our Tour Guide, Eric Bloom, was absolutely phenomenal! Very knowledgeable and professional. Whatever he is making, he deserves a raise! We will definitely be back to visit again! Everything in the mansion is in remarkable condition. It is an amazing time capsule that I hope will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Fred was a great tour guide. He knew a lot about the property and answered all our questions. The tour wasn't too long or too short. I would recommend it for history buffs or not.

We joined the tour through the house and it was a step back in history. Loved hearing the stories! Incredible how this house has been preserved in its original state. Too bad we could not visit the third floor due to water damage.

Best tour guy ever was Rosie strohl she did a. Very good she is my cousin she is very good tour guide we went there right after our train ride. It was a very good experience. She did a very good job best tour guide, ever

The Mansion is beautiful! A remarkable step back in time. The views from the hillside are breathtaking! Be ready to take the steps up the hill from the street below to reach this treasure. It is not handicap accessible inside or out.

This is a must do tour. To see a mansion where everything is in its original form is incredible! Unfortunately, no pictures are allowed inside, but trust me, you will be blown away by the woodwork and items inside.

Highly recommend stopping in to see this mansion. Stunning views from the porch and the building itself is amazingly beautiful. So many intricate little things to take in on the tour, our tour guide was funny and sweet. We will definitely be coming back in the near future for another tour. This building and its history is so interesting to learn about. Not to mention it is stunning to look at in person.

Amazing to see how the rich lived in the late 1800's. Original furniture, wallpaper, carpets, drapes, furnishings..... No pictures allowed inside. Our tour guide, Hannah, was super-knowledgeable!

Given the influence and contributions of Asa Packer on U.S. transportation development (Canals and Railroads), Anthracite Mining and Education (establishment of Lehigh University) in the 19th Century, visiting the Mansion is a must-do event in Jim Thorpe. Tour is thoughtfully designed and intellectually stimulating for all visitors, and the glimpse of Victorian era living is fascinating and instructional. A visit is strongly recommended.

Eric is an amazing tour guide!!! We came this weekend for a tour and we were all blown away about how knowledgeable he was about the mansion. Every question we had for him he had an educated and well explained answer. We even asked him general questions about history of the town and he kept us well informed. This man knows his history and knows Jim Thorpe! I want to add, he was dressed for the part as well! The clothing from this time period really made you feel like you were taking a step back in time! What a dapper gentleman and great asset to the mansion! If you can request him as your tour guide I’d HIGHLY recommend it!Thanks again, Eric!

Rosetta was such a wonderful tour guide! She loves her job, the house, its history, the people who lived in it and it truly shows in the tour. It’s so rare to see someone who puts heart and soul into their work!The mansion itself is amazing. A must-see if you are in Jim Thorpe area. One can feel that it was built and is being maintained with love. Looking forward to another visit soon!

Great small theatre. Intimate show setting. Not a bad seat in the house.Restrooms are clean and spacious for a historic building. Recommend any show here.Pics are from 10 rows from the back aka cheaper seats.

Sellersville Theater is a beautiful, intimate venue. It is very well cared for, the staff is friendly, and the bathrooms are clean. There isn't a bad seat in the theater. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

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

Always a wonderful experience when seeing any performance at this theater, so happy it was saved ! The mural is beautiful! Recently saw the Young Dubliners, so good! Can't wait to return!

Nice clean venue, only 2500 seats. There's also a hotel and Casio there. And a small mall with outlet stores and places to eat.

Beautiful, historic theater! We got tickets for Jared James Nichols and were not disappointed! Intimate setting, great acoustics, tables of 4 in front allow a closeness to performers not found in many venues. Parking was free, great selection of snacks, beers, drinks and wines, complimentary ear plugs. Loved it!

The theater is beautiful, the staff were all friendly and helpful. The band was great, and the acoustics were excellent. My only issue was that there was nowhere to dance.

Very old, well maintained local theater. Excellent restaurant on the property to enjoy a before-the-show dinner. Convenient off street parking. Staff at the venue is friendly and ready to assist.

I've been here a handful of times over the last 2 or 3 decades I've lived in the area.... Mostly with the kids for summer/library activities. I'm SO GLAD I finally got around to doing "dinner and a show"! (Restaurant review, separate.) We picked a comedy show, got cabaret seating. The whole place is just the right size for this - not too big, not too small. We never felt squished or crowded at our table, yet there was also a decent crowd. There is a bar in the lobby, so I got to have a nice drink at the table. 🍺 The comedy show was FUNNY! Such a great experience, all-around! Plus, tickets were reasonably priced! 3 times as pricey or more to go to a similar show down the city, plus it was just a 5 minute drive home, here. Plenty of parking.... Totally looking forward to coming back - both for the library/family event they do every summer, AND for dinner & a show sans kids!

Sellersville Theater is a great place to go see bands play out. They have a small bar. The theater is so nice and they have such friendly employees. Go check out a show. You'll have a great time. TIP: Go early if you want to get a good parking spot!(Photos of Chris Ruggiero.)

I suppose this is probably a great theater to see a nice, calm band or catch a play or smaller production or something. This is an "intimate" venue. The show we went to, Celtic Nova, is a rock/folk/metal/high energy band. There was no space to move around, stand up, nor dance. There were tables set up in the very front that might have served for a dance floor but nooooo. It seems there's a bit of an older demographic here. It's difficult to just sit through a show. We ended up following them to Poughkeepsie, NY and joining them on stage there, which totally made up for it!Update; we're seen a couple bands here now and same review. Tame and lame, but at least intimate.

Bruce Tribute band was better than expected! Seats were comfy, theater was clean and attendants were friendly.

This was my first time here, and will definitely be back! Good acoustics, no such thing as a bad seat, and helpful staff. Parking was a small bit of an issue, but certainly something that shouldn't discourage.

Went to the theater for the Queen cover band recently. Almost Queen is amazing. They do a great job looking similar to the band. Each individual was wearing similar clothing to the band as well. I really loved the performance, theater employees are very nice. The going and finding a seat was easy. Overall a great experience. Although the parking system is an actual cost, cash only so that wasn't known. Would've saved me a hassle had I known.

We had a great time seeing Phil Vassar here at the Sellersville theater. We will be back. Thanks to those volunteers. Lots of great people.

Excellent old timey theater in the heart of Sellersville. They even serve adult beverages! Saw Patty Griffin this week. Stellar show, albeit a bit short at about 100 minutes.

Great place to see a show. I like the smaller theater size and they get a lot of very good entertainment.

Always 5 stars! Another terrific show. 2/28/2024 a stormy night causing the power to go our during the performance. The staff, performers and crowd didn't miss a beat!

We went to see ABBAFAB and we are so glad we did! The music, the people, and the vibe made you feel like dancing! It is a beautiful old historic Theater. No matter where you are seated, you can easily view the stage. A fun time makes a great night and that's just what we had! 👍🩷

Surprisingly good theater in a small town.. concerts from the local radio station. Great front table seats separate from the rest of the regular seating. Saw the Bodeans there which was amazing

1st time there. Intimate venue. Comfy chairs. Saw Suzanne Vega

Absolutely love this place, especially when the outdoor flea market is open. The inside has plenty of stores with great and unique finds, generally at a good price. They offer have a huge selection of various foods and a few delis. Literally anything you need from diapers to a pet rabbit can be purchased here. The outdoor flea market (as opposed to the indoor farmers market) is very cool because it is such an incredible assortment of vendors every week and you’ll never know what you’ll find. If you’re bored and you got a spare few dollars, it’s definitely worth the trip. Everyone is always very nice, there’s plenty of parking, and there’s indoor and outdoor seating. It really is a good time.

I haven't been to the market in years, pretty much the same, seems cleaner than I remember

My Lady and I had a great time on this Sunday.Good food lots of shops learning to do.

If your elderly it may be a long walk to go down one side and up the other side. So it would be better to learn where the shops are that you like and focus on that area if you can. A lot of the stores are still there that I remember as a teen back in the late seventies early 80s.I had photos but for some reason I can't get them to show up so I can post them so sorry. But we did enjoy fantastic steak subs and took home a bunch of Pennsylvania Dutch food for dinner.

It's okay. I was expecting a lot more vendors and better-quality items at an affordable price. The only booths I liked and brought from was the vinyl and CD place. The vinyl's were very reasonable. Other than that, it was a little dingy and a lot of booths weren't welcoming. My husband and I came here on a Saturday thinking it was going to be packed and it wasn't. I'm not complaining but it felt like a ghost town. I understand times are tough and people need to make a living but why should I buy something used for more than the price of new?

Just moved to PA and my friend introduced me to this place. It's quite charming. I have found all sorts of odds and ends. So many food stalls to choose from. I highly recommend giving it a visit.

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

Great outdoor shopping plus stores inside as well. So many places to also stop in & eat (some of the food was amazing!), very warm & comfy sort of place to visit, walk around, shop & spend the day. Cute little shops with all sorts of items for sale. We love visiting every few months since it’s a bit of a drive for us but is totally worth it!

We go to the otts auction at the quakertown mart. They have a lot of fun things. Bidding is easy. Staff is friendly and do a great job.You get a bidder number from them, it's free to bid. Walk around and write down your number on the coordinating card with the item you want to bid on. I always take a Pic of the item, so I remember what it was I bidded on. At the end of the month they have a date posted for when the auction ends for that month. If your bid wins, they email you an invoice for the items you won.They get a new selection every month.Love this place. It's my favorite place to go to at the mart.

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

2 bagels and 2 coffees were $21 and it was mediocre bagels. The prices here are outrageous. People were selling a lot of junk and the place had a funny smell to it. Some interesting things but not really my style.

Blast from the past! Wow. This place looks like it’s stuck in the 80s-90s ha — I loved it. It’s pretty awesome actually, but very bizarre at the same time. It’s a hodgepodge of random vendors selling random things. We ate at a Greek place (forgot the name), but it was SO good. Would love to go back if we drive through town again. Definitely check it out - so much to see and eat.

What a great farmers market, it feels like there's a 100 vendors. Anything you could possibly want, produce, meat, video games, army surplus, pets, jewelry, Puerto Rican Food, Pizza, Katanas, Gyros, rugs, you name it they've got it. Definitely worth checking out.

I live near here so I frequently go here. They have something for everyone. There is a big flea market behind the place in the summer. The place is not fancy so wear your old clothes, put your sneakers on and head on over!

Great snacks and awesome service. Just be careful around the 18+ stores because if you're not over 18 there is no service of course!

Nice mix of small businesses, food places, and groceries. I highly recommend Hillbilly Hooch. The guy working the booth was happy to share all the different flavors and give out samples.

This place is HUUUUGE! It had everything you could ever want, at decent prices, and the people are all great too!!! I had to leave before I spent all my money. There are like 50 entrances, shops of all sizes and types, and some awesome food options in there too. Word to the wise: Bring cash. A lot of these shops are cash only. There is an ATM near the Grocery Store end. Also, the parking lot is riddled with pot holes, grooves, and bumps; and there are kiddos everywhere so slow down!

We've been coming to this Farmer's Market for some years now. Usually encounter friendly vendors and people. Unfortunately, the vender for Oliva Discount Store made today our last trip.We grabbed a few garments and as we checkout the vendor miscounted; (no problem, it happens) when we told her the correct totally, she was rude and proceed to tell us to leave the store. When a fellow shopper over heard what was going on, the vendor told that shopper to mind her business. It's a shame, I pray race was not a factor in the vendor's decision to be ignorant. Will not be returning. And do NOT recommend support Oliva Discount Store.

Very comprehensive flea market with decent farmers market offerings and excellent internal restaurants. The prices are reasonable and parking is ample, great place to spend an afternoon.

It's got a little bit of everything and something for everyone... But not a lot of quality. Some of the stalls are super rad. But like 80 percent is just... Stuff. Anyway probably not a spot you need to hit up regularly.

I took the scenic lift ride. I've never been on a ski lift so I enjoyed the ride & the view. If you're afraid of heights, don't worry. It's not scary! If you've never been on a lift before, the staff will guide you & tell you how to get on. The cost of riding up then down once: $18.

The Blue Mountain Aerial park is so much fun! A group of 4 of us got the 2 hour tickets and we had enough time to complete the ropes course, zip-lining and free fall jump. The instructors were very friendly and checked your gear regularly. There’s also a resturant that offers great views after you finish up at the park (get the soft pretzel app!).

Blue Mountain is one of the best in PA. I’ve been skiing here for 13 years and it’s continued to be a great place to come every year. The terrain is some of the state’s best, and fortunately most of it is opened by mid January because of their amazing snowmaking systems. They also have high speed lift service to every corner of the mountain so on most days crowds are manageable. The food is good, but sometimes pricey, although Slopeside is always good. Try to avoid days of fresh snow, ESPECIALLY on the weekends because it can become a zoo. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in PA!

My love letter to Blue Mountain,I'm writing this one get some things off my chest in a good way regarding Blue Mountain. Reading negative reviews of this mountain makes me laugh. I grew up and learned how to ski and snowboard at Blue Mountain when it was still Little Gap and they did not allow snowboarding at the time, dating myself I know.I have been snowboarding for 34 years, skied from the age of 2 until 10. Do the math. Been on snow my entire life. The Poconos will deliver a ski experience that is challenging for the Novice, above average or expert skiers and snowboarders.The age old saying if you can ski here you can ski anywhere in world is very true. East Coast conditions are not kind and the Poconos are no exception. I will say if you are willing to put in the work Blue Mountain can carve you into an extremely capable skier or snowboarder and prepare you for any conditions around the globe.The mountain has 1000 feet of vertical drop, Blue Mountain is the highest top to bottom in PA and within a good chuck of the greater east coast resorts so let that sink in. Sidewinder, Challenge, Razors Edge will push your limits as far as you are willing to push yourself, get to know your edges and find out if you are as good as you think you are. Ice, groomed corduroy, slush, loose granular, and even yes, powder at times.Challenging terrain park, easy going beginner trails and, lodge with food and beverage.If you are pigeon and blast this place for service or perceived short comings, just remember this is not Deer Valley or the Ritz Carlton. Come enjoy the slopes, be thankful for the employees who show up and enjoy yourselves.Having been in the greater Salt Lake City area for more than 10 years riding the best snow on earth, I don't forget where I came from and the place that helped develop my skills. That was Blue Mountain! Wax your gear, sharpen your edges and let'r rip. Don't forget your helmet. Ice is hard :)Shout to Joe Warner, longtime Ski Patroller at Little Gap/Blue Mountain who helped me develop my love for skiing/snowboarding. Blue if you read this look up Joe he was one of a kind.-Jimmy

a wonderful ski resort that caters to family groups, they have trails for all skill levels. as of Dec 20th and Dec 21st 2022, the conditions were ok before the snowstorm but there were some trails that had icy parts. many trails for variety (although some trails were closed when we went) staff were very attentive and friendly here. the resort would benefit from having more lights though because it was a little hard to see during night skiing.

It's one of the best skiing resorts in ontario, close to toronto. There are lots of places to eat at. The village is pretty and has lots of options for activities. In winter, you can try axe throwing. It's beautiful in all seasons, but I specifically loved it in summer ( not a fan of snow!)

Visited Blue Mountain’s Summit Lodge this summer, and it was fantastic! The views were breathtaking, with vibrant flowers adding a special touch. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend for a great summer day out!

Was a great tubing experience. Besides we paid 300 for 5 people to go down the hill 3 times. The lines are so long and the lift conveyor is so slow. Thank God it wasn't raining. We were soaked cuz the snow was all melted and dirty. And we had on water proof clothes. 4 bucks for a 4oz hot chocolate. 4 bucks for a soda. Way overpriced

Don't even bother to try to go tubing here. Paid over 200$ for 4 people for a 2 hour session and only went down twice. My kids were so excited to try snow tubing and all we did was wait in line. They massively oversell the time slots. We thought the wait was over when it took almost a half an hour to get to the conveyor. Only to find a massive line at the top. Overall a very disappointing experience. I will say the employees were very friendly. This is obviously a management problem. They just sell more tickets than they can handle. I would love to try snow tubing again. I'll just be doing it somewhere else for sure.

Good place for learning how to ski/ snowboard. Can be very busy though. My husband took a snowboarding lesson and it was very crowded - just something to be aware of and keep in mind while planning. It was super crowded on tubing - I was only able to ride 4 times during my 2 hours time slot.Food is really bad and expensive🥲 I mean you can at least add a slice of tomato to a spicy chicken sandwich that costs $15 🤪

Fun family resort. There are plenty of options for all level of skiers. We had a decent winter with some actual snow, so the conditions were decent. The bunny slope area is nice and big and a great spot for little ones to learn. It is a bit expensive but you can find deals and the 4 hour passes are pretty good. Looking forward to next winter praying for snow!

Honestly pretty upset with what this mountain is turning into. I praised them on staying true to themselves and not turning over to epic or ikon, but the prices for a season pass are getting to be outrageous. 800$ for one mountain in Pennsylvania is pretty nutty when their competition is only a little more and offers a whole range of mountains. They are undoubtedly the best mountain in the area, but I’m sure I’m speaking for a lot of people that ski on a budget. And the fact they really don’t seem to care much for active duty/veterans is pretty pathetic. The weather conditions in the northeast haven’t even been that great lately so we’re lucky to get a couple months use out of the pricey pass.

First ski in the season. It wasn’t the best due to an apparent lack of snow (I blame global warming🥲). Only less than half of the trails and lifts were operating and some of the trails were quite icy. The wait is about 5-10 minutes to get on the lift for each ride. Considering it’s the Christmas holiday season, it wasn’t bad. Hopefully we will get more snow in January or February.

One of the best event spaces for views during all seasons, but particularly during the summer and fall. Prices were extremely reasonable given the size of the room and amenities included. Elevator available for elderly and wheelchair bound major plus to reach the upper levels which provide stunning views from the event space above the restaurant.

I went here my first few times snowboarding. I had a lesson that I was initially satisfied with but after getting a little more experience I think the lesson was not so great...the only thing the teacher showed me was how to strap in one foot and glide...she spent the most of the lesson hanging out with other employees. I also rented a snowboard and boots...the boots were pretty disgusting and the second time I went the boots must have had holes in them as my feet were drenched at the end of the day...the place itself is pretty nice. If youre just looking for a mountain for skiing or snowboarding this spot is exactly that...id give zero stars for the lesson and boots and 4 stars for the mountain.

Staying at Blue Mountain Resort was amazing! The place is gorgeous, and there's so much to do. But what really stood out was the guest service – it was beyond excellent. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, making sure we had the best time. They really went out of their way to make our stay special. Can't wait to go back!

Always a good time! Was here the day after opening day, and the snow crew did an incredible job getting trails open! The lifts are well organized. Love the quick food option at the bottom Lodge, is a bit pricey though

I went to Blue Mountain for the first time yesterday; first time there and first time EVER skiing. I was signed up for a group lesson and arrived early. Mind you I’m a highly anxious person so I was already on edge, but things started going south when my locker wasn’t working and I realized I had to go back to the shop because I forgot my gloves. Full blown crying at that point Judy (a literal angel on earth) calmed me down at the shop and shared her experience with her first few times skiing which made me feel better.By then though I was running late and still needed rentals. A young woman (I forgot to grab her name) working there came to get me for my lesson, saw I was distraught, and also helped talk me down and got me rentals straight away and over to David for my lesson.IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME GO SEE DAVID! He is tough but fair and even spent extra time with me which was so above and beyond what he needed to do. By the end of our lesson I was turning like a pro (in my eyes) and stopping a bit better. And I didn’t fall once. He helped me get the confidence to try the lift, which I did alone for the first time, and I am so glad I did!Rich at the top of the magic carpet on the bunny hill was also the sweetest and kept my spirits up every run I did.All in all this was an amazing experience and I can confidently say I’m totally hooked on skiing now. I’m going back Sunday with friends and I’m itching for the slopes! Thank you to everyone at Blue Mountain!!!!

Great experience. Not a skier or snowboarding. Snow tubing was a great alternative to enjoy the now. Two separate hills with the same size. We went to the second one because it was less crowded.

Fabulous cozy, rusic atmosphere with fireplace, great food and service. Great for couples! Views are amazing. Outdoor patio with heaters is very nice too. Didn't know they would have a musician performing on the Sunday evening I was there. That was a great, fun surprise. He took song requests. Performed popular songs really well. Would highly recommend.

What a cool location. My great grandfather, grandfather, and uncles all worked here long ago.It was so cool to be back for a concert that was free. The venue was excellent! The staff was so kind. The bathrooms were clean. The parking was free. I have nothing but positive things to say. More places need to use this place as their standard. I will purposely be back!Great concert with Gable Price and Friends on the field!

Where America was built. Big place. Very interesting. Didn't realize the museum was closed on Monday and Tuesday, we'll go back during the summer.

Such a cool place to check out. Would love to see and concert here. It's sad that this steel factory is no longer in working condition. It's just massive! They light up at night and it's beautiful.

Cool outdoor stage with a one of a kind backdrop! Some shows are standing. Some you can bring your chairs. The building across the road has restrooms, nice bar, and food choices. It's worth the trip.

This place is such a throwback into a time and place I never knew existed. At the same time, it was honestly insane to see how some of the amazing structures built from the steel here are still standing. The hard work of the people that worked here makes me proud and sad for them.

Awesome venue. It’s huge, it’s beautiful. There are so many little places secretly packed into this whole place. A lot of art, a lot of music and a lot to do. It still feels really small and local even though it’s not. We’ll be looking at future events here.

We went to Steel Stacks for the Oktoberfest weekend and despite the rainy weather, still had a fantastic time! The food, music and venue were wonderful! Our entire family, with 3 kids ranging from 15-5, enjoyed the event! We look forward to going back for the Christmas festivities that are celebrated there each year as well!

Immersible, huge, and astonishing. The amount of craftsmanship that went into designing this place is incredible. Admission is free to walk around. Gift shop was closed due to a wedding when I went. Amazing to see everything up close. This place has a lot of rich history and even helped create the Chrysler Building in NYC with the amount of steel and iron it produced.

Fascinating history and Bethlehem Steels contribution to the building of America!We had a great tour by John and he certainly knew allot of the process of steel making and was able to answer all of our questions. You do not need to take a tour to enjoy walking on the grounds or the elevated playground platform but the tour is worth the $20.Do yourself a favor and plan to spend sometime here at an American icon to industrialized America.The tour we took was the rise and fall of Bethlehem steel.

What an awesome free activity, we had a blast! We saw Gable Price and Friends preforming live there and it was amazing! The area around is super cool. The steel stacks in the background is awesome and the whole place is just great! Highly recommend!

What an amazing place to see a show. So much space to spread out and so many places to grab a drink. We were literally all the way in the back and the sound was still perfect and we could see the band perfectly.

This old factory was mindblowing to see, very historic and serine. Feels like this should be in a movie. Hard to imagine 14,000 employees worked here. The highline walkway didn't take too long to walk through, and there are historic plaques along the way and wild flowers. On a good day, you can get a pretty good view of the inside as well. Wetook some really nice pictures here.

Love this place! Favorite place to see shows! Definitely buy tix in advance, especially if you want a seat. Dress in layers. A lot of the shows are on the 3rd floor (there's an elevator), and when you're dancing or can get hot!

Super neat area. There are always events going on. Live music, indoor theatre, walk the stacks, and read the history. Adult beverages to cool down. Food trucks get out there all the time. A must see.

Great place to visit if you love historic and abandoned locations. Also great for events and even has an ice rink during the winter months.

Wheelchair accessible, with an elevator at the west end and a flat ramp the whole way. Fine for kids. There's some signs along the elevated walkway that give context to the enormous piece of American history. For even more detail, visit the National Museum of Industrial History, which is about a ten-minute walk away. Bring a magnet if you're curious.

Just visited in the afternoon and evening, but it was awesome walking around the old steel works. There were a lot of interpretive signs talking about history of the place and a few stating that the plants were native, although they did not have interpretive signs on the native species.I went to a concert at Musikfest Cafe, and this was an additional thing that I did not expect as a first time concert goer here.

I grew up in the area and had not be back in quite a while. It was an impactful walking tour through the old factory. Had alot of family that worked there over the years. A well done display

I went for the Musikfest and for an Alzheimer's walk a few years ago. Both experiences were very different, but fun in their own right.

Perfect spot for events, concerts and more. There’s usually always events going on here in the nicer seasons including Musikfest. There’s tons of preserved history from 5he warehouses and steel stacks from the early 1900’s. Definitely a must see attraction if you are in town.

Always a pleasure coming to this area. From food festivals, watch parties, farmers markets, OKTOBERFEST, MUSIKFEST!, CHRISTKINDLE MARKET at Christmas, the movie theatre,and all kind of other wonderful things to do year round.You must walk the trestle. There are elevators available to those who cannot do the stairs. It’s absolutely stunning to see. It really gives you some perspective on how hard these men had to work. It’s definitely also a great “trail” if you’re a jogger- the whole area of the SteelStacks. Will always recommend and will always go back.A staple to the LV community.

Old Lehigh U grad here. Visited for a free concert and light dinner. First time seeing the blast furnaces up close. Never thought I’d get the chance to walk on this site, let alone eat, drink, enjoy some music, and learn South Bethlehem’s amazing history. So glad I stopped. Would visit again.

A good place for entertainment, not recommended to go often.

Great casino with easy access to the hotel and shopping outlets. Convenient parking garage that has free parking. Friendly and efficient staff. Decent ventilation with how much smoking is done in there. They have non smoking sections but it’s really just a large open space between the two.

Comp drinks can’t beat that plus it pays

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

This was first time there its definitely different than atlantic city but it was definitely holding up the standards for covid-19.. but i couldn't get a waitress to get drinks from would made me sad. Because i went as a b-day gift from my husband other than that it was cool

It's owned by Wind Creek now. Much better chance if winning at slots than Sands ever gave.

People are allowed to chain smoke cigarettes... Puff on weed pens.... But holy cow if ya bring a cigar into the place.

Cool place, expensive fast food in court drinks are exact and poured from a gun. Clean upbeat for a Friday night.

If you want to go just to spend money without any excitement, this is the place to be .

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

I had a great time for my bday there

Asked for a drink of water or soda did not get one was playing 4 or more hours we left do to the drinks

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

I won so I'm happy.

So many people standing around unopened tables, the rest of the tables are completely packed and they refused to open more. This place is a joke

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

Check-in staff was nice. The maintenance guy was nice. NOTHING WAS OPEN. No food, no activities except the arcade, bowling, and the movie theater. There is no staff in any location except the town center. Tried 3 times to find the actual split rock, just a do not enter sign at the end of the road. Our room didn't match the images shown in the listing. The room was severely lacking any of the amenities shown. There were filthy towels under the bathroom sink, a crushed potato chip on the bedroom floor, and the bed was God awful. The room was dark and old. The TV didn't work upon arrival but the maintenance guy was very nice and pleasant. Woman at check out was very short with us, didn't ask about our stay or anything she just seemed to want us gone so she could continue about her business. They also don't tell you that they provide nothing in the room except 2 sets of towels and a roll of toilet paper. There are pots, pans, and dishes, but nothing to clean them with. (I mention this because the place we checked into after this one provided those things). I mean seriously nothing was open. If you plan on going, go on a weekend. We went Monday to Wednesday and there was nothing. The only thing open was their "food court"... and it was severely lacking and overpriced for what it was. Fortunately, if you make the same mistake as us, there is a grocery store and a wawa about 10 minutes down the road.

I checked in on Friday night & was given the wrong room number, so I disturbed someone who was sleeping. No big deal; mistakes happen. Saturday, before heading to the track, I discovered a bed bug crawling in my bed. I went to the front desk & tried not to make a scene.They sent a security guard to my room, who confirmed it was a bed bug. I was instructed to put ALL my clothes in a bag so they could wash them & that they would move us to a new room.My colleague & I returned at roughly 8 p.m. after working all day. I am now told that they will not be moving us to a new room & nobody did my laundry. They send me to a building a mile away to do my laundry.I put my clothes in the wash & go eat dinner. When I returned, I couldn't tell what condo building they sent me to. I walk into one of the six identical buildings & can tell something is off immediately. It looks like a slum – filled with full trash bags everywhere + toys & debris in the hallways.A man – not wearing a resort uniform & a baggy coat – approaches & claims he works there. Unsure if he's concealing a weapon, we leave as soon as we realize we're in the wrong building & that people are living there full-time.After looking for my clothes in five other better-kept but still rundown buildings, my gut was telling me to leave. So I did. I drove an hour to stay at my in-laws, as my colleague does the same to stay at his parents.Today, I tried calling just to get my security deposit back, but they forwarded me to a dead end & now won't answer my calls.

We had such a great trip with our family here. Everyone was so nice. We felt like we had the place to our selves. Service in the Mexican restaurant was very slow but we were ok with our cocktails & good conversation. I enjoyed it here more than great wolf which is over crowded. The food was great! They have all sorts of activities for kids too. Definitely coming back.

We were here for a gymnastics meet and decided to stay the night and enjoy the water park. My kids had so much fun! My daughter even tried the wave surfer. Special shoutout to Annalise and Brett for their patience helping my daughter learn to use the wave surfer. They were so kind and took their time to help her figure it out.

I wasted a day of my life traveling to this place, checking in and then promptly checking out 30 minutes later and driving back home.As you pull in you'll notice the lack of landscaping, as the property was just unkempt. As you walk through the entrance you'll notice drop ceiling with water damage and black mold. As you enter the lobby, you'll think you traveled back in time. The setting felt like I would be hanging out with Sammy Davis Jr. and the rest of the rat pack that night. The only rats I most likely would have encountered would be the ones feasting on the scraps at the uncleaned, dirty food court.The room itself smelled of mildew, had paint and wallpaper peeling off the walls, a hole in the bathroom door, and the ceiling light cover had holes in it with what appeared to be dead bugs hovering on it. The shower was falling apart and the living room furniture I don't think has been replaced since the 60s.Our trip reminded me of Clark Griswold pulling up to Wally World. Although the Griswold family vacation was better because Split Rock resort was actually opened. I don't think it will be long until the doors are closed for good though. The only splitting that should be done with this resort is splitting quickly to another vacation destination.

Went here for a girls trip and I had a nice weekend getaway here. The room was very nice and clean. We had a king VIP room with the jetted tub and it seemed newly renovated. The bed looked new and was very comfy. The kitchen had everything you need (silverware, plates, cups, etc). We were a bit worried with all the negative reviews on here but we had no issues. The pool area was nice, we enjoyed the hot tub. I'd say it is an older building but not horrible for the price of the rooms. We ordered take out and didn't really use any of the activities. Just came to relax. We would return

Great place for a getaway! This pet-friendly resort offers a variety of amenities like an arcade, sport court, and pools, water park, bowling etc though they don’t advertise their pet policy online. The entire resort is welcoming to pets, allowing you to take your fur baby everywhere. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, I did wish for better food options nearby. The rooms were generally good, but we experienced issues with toilet flushing and brown water in the shower for a few days. Despite these setbacks, it’s a great spot for a short getaway and worth the money.P.S. There is a $200 pet fee, and you need to call the hotel to book pet-friendly rooms.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews, The resort was clean, front desk was friendly and helpful, the manager offered to show us around. A maid stopped what she was doing to show us how to get to the game room. Indoor pool area was clean. Plenty of activities. We had a very good experience.

**Don’t be fooled by all the fake 5 star reviews that have recently been posted!!**I am posting this on behalf of my sister as she has not heard from the hotel regarding her recent visit.See review below and trying to raise awareness about how deplorable this “resort” is. File complaints with the Better Business Bureau!!!*DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!*EDIT: 9/29 - made a BBB complaint to receive full refund for our horrible experience and on two separate occasions the resort has ignored their attempts to reach them. I reached out to the email below twice with no response as well. Please DO NOT waste your money and read past the fake 5 star reviews. I will continually update this review until I am compensated.We stayed in a two bedroom “suite” at the town center which in reality is just two hotel rooms made into one. The smaller room has a window looking out into the hallway…Pictures and website are EXTREMELY DECEIVING!!! Stayed here for a family reunion and everything was either out of service or “booked for a private event”. The pool was cloudy to the point you couldn’t see below your waist. No restaurants on site only the sand bar by the lake and food court with subpar food. These pictures aren’t half of the gross things about our room. Splatters on the walls, broken fixtures, bathtub peeling, dirty “new” towels, windows that don’t close, cracked vanities, dirty walls, mold underneath the sink, weird smell in the room,broken hair dryer….. AND infested with fruit flies. We probably saw at least 5 a day despite killing them!! The list goes on and on.This is the furthest thing from a resort more like a motel with minimal amenities. In regular resorts you see cleaning people almost every corner you turn. I think out of the week we stayed here I saw a cleaning cart once.Sad to see such a nice place with so much potential be incredibly run down. Never again!

I don’t really like to leave reviews because my opinion of a hotel may be different from others but this place was on my top 5 list of places to NOT stay unless it’s an emergency and you desperately need a place to go. My family and I were originally supposed to go to Myrtle beach this year but due to the hurricane we couldn’t. We had to cancel at the last minute and come up with something else in 24 hours. My husband found this resort. It was cheap and had fun stuff to do… so why not right? When we got there we found out the water park was not included in our stay which is one thing. But then the microwave and the ac in our room was not working. We told the front desk this multiple times and to this day no one has come to replace it or give us a new room. I had to use fans that we brought to keep us cool and heat our food in the oven. On top of that we ran out of toilet tissue and reported this as well but still no one came. I found that to be so disappointing. I had to ask one of the room service ladies to spare us a tissue while they were cleaning another room. If they fix up their rooms and offer better customer service, this place would be in the top 10 places to visit along with kalahari. But they do not care. I even mentioned it again when checking out that no one came to look at our microwave and ac and the front desk lady did not seem bothered at all. If you can, avoid this place at all cost.

Do not stay here!!!! This place has been nothing short of a nightmare for me and my family!! The customer service is horrible. We had ants in our room, and we woke up without water and wasn’t told anything about it. I had to jump through hoops in order to get hot water to clean my daughters bottles!! We went without water for 5 hours and when it came back on it was brown!! Kimberly said it would’ve been fine if we just microwaved our water… cause that’s what you want to do while on vacation.. what happened to pleasing your guests and expressing such regret for having such a horrible stay!! There was no manager on site that would speak to me, and the front desk receptionist made it clear the mangers do not answer their phone when they are not at work. The manager (Kimberly) being the main one who was on site refused to speak with me face to face kept deflecting our concerns!!! I am still pursing this place for a full compensation and they are fighting it, I know hard to believe!! We checked out a whole night early, but Kimberly insists on charging us for two nights because we left a day early and because it was at 2pm that automatically counts for a whole 24 hours due to having no one to clean the room ( doesn’t make sense) also, the water park was shut down for the two days we were there, again without warning to anyone!! The whole reason we made the trip! Please do yourself a favor and do not stay here no matter the deal you get! This place gets a zero star from our family!!!Update it’s been two weeks and this resort has yet to return my calls, and come to a resolution! We checked out a whole day early and they are refusing to reimburse me!!! Will be contacting them again!!! Do not stay here!!! It’s so gross. You’ll leave feeling dirty !

“We’ve visited Split Rock Resort in Lake Harmony eight times with our family, and every visit has been fabulous! Despite some negative reviews out there, we’ve always found this place to be a great value and a fantastic getaway for families. Our children have had amazing experiences with the variety of activities, and the memories we’ve made here are priceless. I encourage everyone to visit, experience it for themselves, and ignore the negativity from others. This place is truly a gem for making unforgettable memories!”

Stood there with my family for the week. Stayed from Friday to Friday. Check in was easy and front desk was knowledgeable. We asked for rooms close together since we stayed through Sundance vacations, unfortunately we weren't able to get that accommodation because the weekend we chose they had reservations for the high-school senior trips. Because we are time share owners our kitchen should have been stocked with basic necessities unfortunately it was not but upon calling front desk and them reporting to their manager Miklos that was fixed very fast. MIKLOS came to us and helped everything get sorted out in lighting speed, throughout the week, when he saw us in the lobby he was always friendly and checking in with us making sure we were happy. Another employee I want to shout out is Griffin. Another amazing front desk employee that really stood out who was consistently helpful and knowledgeabl. Anytime we went up to him he was happy to help with a great attitude. The staff at the arcade and bowling alley were very great as well. Unfortunately I do have to mention that when we went to the water park my wife did come down with a really bad infection from the water which cut our vacation short and had to rush her to the ER. Despite the park being closed during the week the water was not disinfected and chlorinated enough to kill the bacteria making her receive a really bad UTI where she was being peeing blood.Besides the water park I would say the hotel being tended by MIKLOS is in great hands. He truly made the experience memorable.

I am so disappointed with this place. The rooms are rundown but supposed to be newly renovated. The design is not family-friendly with glass tables with sharp edges. Some rooms have potable AC that do not work to cool of children's room. They kids have only a ceiling fan. The rooms are not cleaned well. Showers have rust, bathroom fixtures falling off, or cracked.My husband and I changed rooms three times, and I cut my foot on a stray piece of glass in the living room. There used to be a dining area with a chef for meals, and now they give us microwave food for breakfast. The dining area is now a store. There is no restaurant until the weekend when the water park opens.

DO NOT BOOK THEY ARE HORRIBLE. I am a homeowner in the community and they are threatening to shut off all of our water if we do not pay their water bill. They are abusing their power and do not care for anyone in the community. As homeowners we have paid our bills every month yet we are getting punished for their actions. The only reason they have over a 3 star rating is because of the years of service under previous ownership. Look at any recent reviews and look up the law suits against them. I used to go here as a child and that is why I bought a home in the community. It used to be a fun and amazing spot until it was bought out by a corporation who has no care for anything other then the money in their pockets. They screwed over all time share owners did meaningless “renovations”, and falsely advertise. I came here a couple years ago with my family before I knew how down hill it had gone. We did not have enough space in our home and wanted to use amenities so we booked to stay at the resort. They advertised ice skating but it was slippery pieces of white plastic with a flimsy gate and we were told to take off our shoes and scoot around. That is just one example of the ample things they do to try and make it look like they are a great vacation spot when in reality Everything was run down and a mess and it just keeps getting worse.

I'm sure this was a beautiful place sometime. That time is not now. Beautiful location surrounding the hotel. My "Slopeside" room building was near a place where the hotel just dumped unwanted items. There is too much to list. I'll focus on some lowlights in my room. Ceiling fan covered with dust. Shower door bottom that had an amazing amount of black mold.

Every staff members we spoke to were very helpful and truly a pleasure. Seems like they love their job. The resort its self needs a lot of upgrading. Wish they had an all inclusive option. Need more food variety.

This place is gross. Please look at the photos. Walls have paint peeling. Shower was clogged from the peeling paint. The carpet was so dirty and stained. The water park is also gross. 3 out of the 4 slides were closed. We went at 6:30 and it closed at 8pm and it was $35 per person. They told us the water park was included and then I got there and they said it isn’t. This is by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed.

It iş tough to explain.First of all once you enter the Split Rock Resort you are in the little town and not the resort.There were either o or not enough signs to guide us to the resort office/reception.Finally when I got to the reception it was chaos too many people and not enough staff to help.I received very badly printed very old mapNow my struggle started to find my suit after spending about half hour in the town I got back to have info to get to my room.Actually it is not a resort nestled with all the premises.About six triple story buildings about half mile away from the main building and the main building has all the restaurants and little store plus a busy swimming pool and some rooms upstairs.Water park is separate building next to main building.I was in building 5The good thing is that the suite I got was clean well furnished and luxurious.This place is far spending a week with family and friends and come with lots of groceries because they have full kitchen, dining table and lounge.Not good for day or two stay as hotel

When I walked in I was super disappointed but I grew to like it once I started exploring the place. It gave me haunted house vibes but in a good way. This place has potential just needs proper investors. Heat didn’t work for a couple hours and water ran cold but they fixed it asap. 4/5 stars! LOVED IT.

Great place to go if you are looking for a nice place to walk around. They keep the grounds beautiful. There a a lot of unique shops, and many places to get snacks or a meal.

Great atmosphere with lots of fun, diverse shops! Beautiful gardens and water features in the middle. Always nice to walk around with friends and browse the shops. This place has been around for at least 20 years and it looks so well managed and taken care of! During the month of July they had the Sand sculptures on display. One major downfall is it’s not very wheelchair friendly throughout.

This is a nice place with plenty of shops and restaurants, Great place to see Christmas decorations and Christmas parade as well, their Halloween decorations are nice too, great place for kids to enjoy, however this place is too busy and crowded all the seasons, parking is very tricky, wait time in restaurants are hours, you have to stand in long queue to get in to a restaurant or buy food from food trucks.So be prepared, have plenty of water, snacks for kids and yourself, a hat to protect you from the burning sun, apply sunscreen and hopefully enjoy the day.All the time I get extremely tired after walking here on a sunny day. So, be prepared.

This is a cute little village with great atmosphere with lots of fun, diverse and unique shops. Beautiful gardens and water features. They always have some ongoing events and it’s fun to walk around and browse the shops. This place is well managed and well maintained. They have on site restaurants as well.

Adorable place with plenty of cool little shops and restaurants. Went for a quick trip and had a wonderful time with the family. We walked around and just enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. The day was perfect to stroll and just take in the atmosphere. Definitely recommend any family to go and check it out.

Great visit. High prices for most everything. Beautiful grounds..strawberry festival was rainy, coolish n semi crowded..good music played in the gazebo. Not enough strawberry stands offering anything.

We went to see the scarecrows and loved it! It was fun to vote for favorites via the app. The app also has some coupons for deals at the local places there. There was a nice variety of stores, including a German clock store and a jerky hut with exotic jerkies and other goods. We will make sure to go earlier next time to have more time to explore. The food was also very good.

We visited during the July 4th weekend Blueberry Festival. We picked up a blueberry pie and it was delicious! They also had several amazing sand Sculptures which were all incredible. Also picked up some lovely honey and tea at the Sticky Situations tasting store. Wonderful afternoon spent at Peddler's Village.

We got married at Peddlers Village this August and we honestly could talk about how AMAZING they are for hours on end. Every single aspect of our wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to all of the help from the phenomenal staff at Peddlers. Peddlers Village is the most beautiful and romantic place for a wedding, and as New Yorkers, we were able to utilize all Peddlers had to offer to maximize our wedding to a full weekend. In addition to having our ceremony and reception at Peddlers, we also had our rehearsal dinner and after party there as well. Our guests are STILL talking about how beautiful the village is, and how incredible our wedding was. Our perfect day would not have been possible without the amazing staff at Peddlers who helped us every single step of the way. Ann was available to help us with anything that we needed from the moment we booked Peddlers, and she went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and that our wedding was our perfect vision. We had the pleasure of having Pam as our day of coordinator, who assisted us with every single thing on the day of our wedding, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day. When the possibility of rain became a looming fear, Pam and Ann made us feel comfortable knowing that they had a Plan B in the event that it does rain. Another wonderful thing about Peddlers is how many photo opportunities there are! We were able to capture an array of different settings for our photographs all while staying in the village. Peddlers is beautiful, charming, romantic, and allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams. But for us, what really made the difference is the incredible staff who made us feel like family and were there for us every step of the way. We HIGHLY recommend any couple looking to get married to choose Peddlers for their special day. We are so thankful for everyone at Peddlers Village and are so blessed to have been able to be married there!

Perfect place to go with a group because you're almost guaranteed that there will be something everyone will like, from a game store to a mystical shop. For any cooking enthusiast or foodies, there are shops and restaurants galore for your taste buds. Even treasure hunts and riddles to entertain the kiddies. I'm definitely coming back during the Christmas season to enjoy the lights

Beautiful little village to enjoy some Christmas lights and check out local shops and restaurants! Loved the quaint feel and variety of the shops, from the Cloak & Wand Harry Potter themed store to Fehrenbach’s Cuckoo Clock’s, there’s truly something for everyone here. Loved that they have a pretty busy calendar of events going on throughout the year too. Parking is kind of a pain (give yourself plenty of time to find parking), but we’ll definitely be back again.

Peddler’s Village is a staple to Bucks County. A great place to stop for locals and tourists. Delicious choices of restaurants, bars, shops and more!

A happy place with many things for every age group & interest... it is always stunningly beautiful in every season, perfectly cared for with incredible events and has charming shops with delicious treats & perfect gifts for everyone.I still wear a necklace I found there 10 years ago, found the perfect bag there, and my Family celebrates every Thanksgiving & Easter in one of their many restaurants - is my happy place!

Nice lively place that we visited during Christmas time. A lot of lights, decorations, shopping just a cheerful holiday atmosphere. It is also located 8 minutes away from New Hope, PA - another beautiful area with restaurants and shopping and just walking around enjoying beautifully decorated area.

Absolutely adorable. Quaint place to walk around or have a date night. Free Will Brewery is a good place to start . Support local.

This is a quaint little village with so much more to offer than just shops which are unique and cute. Any season is the right season to take a stroll, get a bite or just sit on a bench.We’ve been multiple times to capture its aesthetic with our wedding couples.

After my wonderful wine flight at Angelico Winery, only 20 min drive to this beautiful area. Unique shops spread out the whole little town, gardening are nicely down, a lot photo opportunity.Great for family visit as well! Nice go spent 2-3 hours.

Another wonderful gem of a place just up the road from Lambertville, NJ and New Hope, PA, amazing towns in their own right. Spend the day here. The shops and restaurants are unique and amazing. The Christmas extravaganza they put together is simply breathtaking. Lahaska has so many excellent restaurants, as well. Amazing place to spend the day.

In the area visiting family for Christmas holiday. Peddlers Village is a charming area to visit, shop, dine, and partake of holiday festivities. Be sure to check local listing for activities, dining, and shopping hours.Typically, it is fairly crowded on the weekends. However, we went on a Monday afternoon to see the holiday lights and partake of the Free Smores. Most of the shops were closing at 5 or 6, but some are open later. Dining was open longer hours as well, and there are some very good options for the hungry traveler!! Button wood has delicious burgers, and Nina's Ice Cream and waffles is worth a drop in!Folks in the village are helpful and friendly, and I will definitely be back to do some holiday shopping next year.

Such a fun and laid back place to spend a day with the family. I felt the admission pricing for activities was fair and we definitely got more than our money's worth. Food is expensive and not good so eat elsewhere or bring something from home.

A beautiful picturesque open air shopping center. It has everything you could ask for. You can grab a drink and walk around and shop or watch a show. I highly recommend this place!!

The most incredible view! Shops scarecrows 100. Places to eat, get treats, bench’s, eating areas. STROLLER friendly. Kid friendly. Great place. Giggleberry play area for kids. Old time hoarse merry go round. Lots do see . Going back again for my 3rd time. Lots of parking JUST FOLLOW signs .

This is a unique place. We had fun hiking on the boulders. We were fairly concered as to why the waterfall was.100% dried up. We came a couple years ago and it was a rushing creek.

Went to RR and it was kinda cool. We were on our way to New England and figured why not? It's off the beaten path, way up a hill. Small parking lot and not well defined on where to walk, but we found it. Short walk from the parking lot as well. The field of rocks is very cool. 9 year old boy paradise. Wear good shoes or go bare footed. Old folks should probably watch. An older woman fell trying to climb around.

Interesting park. Short hike to the rock field and falls. Bring a hammer to ring the rocks, the ones that look like they have been hit the most sound the best. While the trails are easy it's a bit difficult to walk across the rock field. There is plenty of parking but the bathrooms have seen better days.

Unusual but at the same time interesting park. It is a very large field with huge boulders made out of diabase that makes a ringing sound when struck with a hammer due to the high level of iron. It has multiple hiking trails and a waterfall that unfortunately due to the high heat is was very dry. Must be nice in the winter. Also bring a hammer.

Ring Rocks holds a special place in my heart from my childhood days spent here with my mom. The memories flood back as I recall our adventures collecting Indian rocks, painting our faces, and sketching on the stones. Armed with a hammer, I’d create echoes, making the rocks ‘ring,’ adding a musical element to our outdoor escapades. Our picnics were filled with laughter and face-painting sessions, creating cherished moments together. We’d brave the waters, swimming near the waterfall and exploring its hidden spots. These nostalgic recollections date back to the vibrant decades of the 70s and 80s. Ring Rocks remains a treasured memory of bonding with my mom, a place I hold dear and rediscovered with joy.❤️🥰🌎

This is a decent place to get away from the city and traffic and take a hike.Why Not 5 Stars:Crappy dirty outhouses.Rocks 🪨 all over the trail. Yes, I get it. That is the point. But, it is not accessible for disabled people and older people could twist or possibly break an ankle. So be careful.Parking lot is rough and full of potholes. Not RV accessible.Only one driveway/entry.

Pretty park. Little or no services. Beating on the bell sounding ricks was fascinating. No entry fee. Hiking trails. You need good legs to climb over the rocks. Bring your own hammer.

Well maintained and labeled trails. Several trails to hike in the forest. Disappointed that the waterfall was dry. Very interesting are with boulders. You must bring your own hammer to experiment. Portables toilets.

Came here on a beautiful day with friends on a road trip to Texas. Claire slipped and fell in the boulder field (she’s telling me to write “lost her balance” but I don’t believe in lying on google reviews). This turned out to be a blessing because she found an abandoned hammer that we used to make the rocks ring. Beautiful stop!

It’s a great place to walk ferrets! They loved the narrow passages and going between the rocks overall a good time.

Well cared for and serene. They have a large picnic area with 3-4 regular sized tables and one that is super long.The oaths are obvious, but at certain sections it looks like people make it up as they go.If you are going for the rock field, go in the second entrance to get closer to the ringing stones. Otherwise you have a bit of rock jumping to do first.The waterfall activity is based on the amount of rain. We went on a day when there was only a trickle running under rocks. But because of this we could walk on what would have been the creek bed. It was gorgeous. And a little dizzying because the 'ground' was angled!I don't know I'll take my littles til they are a bit older. But I'm sure my 6yo would have a field day here hitting the rocks and jumping all over the place!

If you like the quirky side of nature, this is for you. Go boulder hopping and hit the rocks with a hammer. The composition of the rocks gives them a ringing, metallic sound when struck. There's also a small waterfall. Easy hiking, and the boulder field is only 5 minutes from the parking lot.

Love this park. It's nice that the ringing rocks are not a far walk from the parking lot since my son gets bored easily and is the "are we there yet" type. So fun making music with the rocks and educating my little one about the history of the landscape and the reason why the boulders there make those sounds. Definitely bring a hammer to get the full experience.

Always enjoy going to Ringing Rocks Park. My wife and I went Christmas afternoon to avoid the crowds. We actually like hiking around the waterfalls the most. Would give 5 stars, but it was a little disconcerting when a local police officer pulled up as we were getting out. He warned us not to leave valuables in the car, as they have had a real issue with break-ins.

Ample parking, easy to find, short nice hike to Boulder field. The field itself is lots of fun and the rocks are really almost musical when struck. Great for the whole family.

Quite unique. Wear good shoes and clam er out to the middle of the field. The sounds are cool. Then trek on over to the waterfall. Sometimes dry but after the rains it's running well this week

Bring a hammer, good shoes and walk out towards the middle to hear the best ringing rocks. You will be able to tell the ones that have been tapped on the most. Don’t forget to follow the trail for a cool waterfall to cross!

I liked this park. It's honestly a parking area and a Boulder field. I think if they offered a ranger tour, it would be dope. But alas, maybe another time.We didn't hike to the waterfall because it was blustery. But the trail is clear and well maintained. Also, it's clear where the Boulder field is.Hammers are GREAT. We also used a meat mallet and large soup spoons. They worked, but not like a good hammer strike.It's kind of sad to see how worn the rocks are, but I went and hit them, too, so I can't really chastise anyone.I wouldn't necessarily call it kid friendly. Maybe kids 9 and up would really like this, especially if they're learning about dinosaurs and rocks and the earth.All in all, I'd go back.

we loved this place. It is a very easy hike to do with your littler ones. Make sure you bring a hammer so that you can get the whole experience. There’s a littler waterfall about 5 minutes walk. You will love it.

This is a decent place to get away from the city and traffic and take a hike. Pretty and well maintained trail leading to a small waterfall.It’s fun making music with the rocks. Definitely bring a hammer to get the full experience.

The cheapest ticket was 30$ for a 45 minute round trip. The scenery wasn't great but it's a train ride. They have parking at the station its 26$ for 2 hours and 6$ for each 1/2 hr afterwards. There are machines for you to purchase train ride tickets right on the platform. There is also a gift shop and bathrooms at the station. There is also a bathroom on the train.

Fun ride on the train with a steam engine on Labor Day weekend. We picked the air conditioned car because it was about 90 degrees. (The website said these tickets were $45, but on checkout we were charged $50 per ticket, and that was before the $9 service charge. So--a little pricy for a 45-minute ride.) Very friendly and informative staff on the train.

My friends and I bought tickets for the "No Hope After Dark" ride. The train station itself is nicely decorated with skeletons. There is a quick scare maze before you enter the train that left a lot to be desired. The train itself is not decorated inside. The haunt actors were just very loud and didn't have much to work with in terms of props and makeup. The "festival" is just 3 vendor stands selling random overpriced stuff like shirts, lip balm, and smores for the fire pit. There was live music that wasn't very attention grabbing. The "food trucks" consisted of 1 sad looking waffle truck. The maze was very cheap looking, and there was no clear theme to it. The makeup and masks were awful, nothing scary about it. The actors can be a little aggressive. I was pushed towards the end of the maze by one of them. I would not recommend this haunt at all. It's way too expensive for what it is. They just try to sell things to you throughout the experience. The parking near the train is outrageous. It's $15 per hour, which is nowhere listed on their website. Save your money and avoid this haunt at all costs.

Well, I'm going to post this again. Because apparently the railroad doesn't like their bad reviews. This place is a total rip off! I spent two hundred dollars on two first class tickets in the dining car that had no food... Well unless you want to count the stale pretzel that you had to buy... For the bags of chips you had to buy. We got a 20 minute Bumpy train ride. Which we couldn't see anything because the inside lights were on.... The bartender was the only thing that made that trip tolerable... Then you reach your big destination where there is a quote unquote festival... Which included one food truck.. With a mile long line... And a very very long line for any sort of Halloween haunt.. We stood in the mud. There was no dry area to go to with no cover or shelter... Tried to eat but all the picnic tables were wet... So we got soaked... To top it off . We didn't know until we already were there that they don't accept cash at all... Nowhere in the gift shop or at the bar or anywhere.... Then the topping on the cake was being charged. $32 without any notice. Just to park our car right there in their own lot !!!Please don't waste your money... It was absolutely horrible...They should be ashamed to call themselves new hope... It's more like no hope!I usually don't go through the time and effort of leaving reviews on Google. But for this I had to!

Train ride is kinda bumpy but an overall nice experience. Very spacious in the seats. The conductor tells you cool facts about the area pertaining to the railroad as you ride. The train station itself is also very lovely. My son was super excited about visiting. Staff very friendly. Parking is really ridiculously overpriced and honestly a nightmare. $50 for 3 hours. Street parking is apparently super iffy.

We were dumb enough to pay $136 for 2 people to attend the "No Hope" Railroad excursion last night. What a scam! Haunted "maze" was about 30 seconds long. They only had hotdogs and pretzels as the food option, and you had to PAY for it. There were supposed to be multiple food trucks, there was not. There were 2 vendors outside of the beer tent (beer tent was great). One vendor had homemade resin items and hair accessories, the other had sweatshirts and bathing suits. That's it. There was a pretty good band playing, that was pretty nice. The staff were very nice and the train was cool, but not worth that price. Do NOT bother with this event. It was a joke.Go to Jim Thorpe Railroad for all train related experiences. It was a million times better in every way.*Update* I asked for compensation since it was such a scam, and also because no food trucks or lighshows happened like we were told there would be. The response I got was this;"Thank you for advising of your recent experience with the New Hope Railroad.We are deeply disappointed that you didn't enjoy the No Hope After Dark experience. It was designed to be more than a fright fest. It was designed to be a festival with music, dancing, light shows, scare tactics and beer/food trucks.We sincerely apologize if the experience didn't live up to your expectations, but hope you will give us another chance in the future."So good luck to anyone who is looking for some compensation after spending so much money. To be honest you can go to basically any brewery and have a way better time without spending a $136 cover charge.Report to the Better Business Bureau if you're looking to stop the scamming.

Date of visit October 20th. 3pm to LahaskaI got there around 1:00 to buy my tickets, it was really quick and easy, there’s 3 machines there and there was no line. The employees were really helpful and kind. (I didn’t get the tickets online, because I thought the fee would be lower there, but it’s the same price, save your time and buy online)After I got the ticket I left and came back 2:45, there was no line, just showed my ticket and got in the train.I choose coach class it was $42 pp + fees, it doesn’t have AC, either you leave the window open or closed.The train left exactly at 3:00 but it came back a little later than 4:00.The ride is really close and I think we were more time stopped than riding the train, like the others reviews said, there’s no much to see, just a lot of backyards and the trees are not that colorful.The experience is okay, but I wouldn’t do it again.Thanks to the reviews here, I parked my car somewhere else and paid $20 for the whole day.

Visited 5 July 2024. Very friendly staff from the conductors, shops and support staff. Beautiful painted engine. Road in the coach car with open windows and ceiling fans as it should be for classic trains! Thanks to all that worked there on a Holiday weekend!

Took my husband here for his birthday as he is a huge train enthusiast. It gives shinning time station vibes. It was great. The staff and conductor were extremely friendly. My husband enjoyed every moment and the scenery on the ride was good. Makes for a good date night and if you have kids this is most definitely a plus for them. Note: It’s an attraction so the prices are a bit high

I saw better fall foliage on the drive up on route 32. A very expensive disappointment.Also the parking cost is insane. Get there early and go find a spot and walk. The regular street parking was $2 an hour in comparison.

We went here for the 2024 No Hope After Dark Halloween event. The train ride was nice and the platform was well done but the haunts and spooky acting had alot to be desired.Only three actors on the train and they weren't at all scary. In order to board you walk through a haunted clown maze which was slapped together.The train itself is nice and we enjoyed the ride. Both food and drink were incredibly expensive onboard and none of the wait staff seemed to know what was on the menu or how much it cost.The train arrives to a small field area with bonfires, vendors, and food carts. There's a second spooky maze that you can go through that had about 4 actors and wasn't really creepy either. Live music was the best part Riverside Odds were playing and while I've never heard their music before but they were great.Parking is outrageously expensive at $15/hr beating even NYC prices.I guess we were on the train that was filming this year's promo videos too because really there were more people with camera following us than scary actors and maybe that was the real horror story here.

A great experience , staff was very friendly and we really enjoyed the train ride through scenic bucks county . During the train ride a staff member tells you a little history of the new hope railroad and the area you are traveling through , I thought this was a nice touch and made it even more interesting. We got our tickets online and it was a very simple process. We will return again in the future for sure .. highly recommended !

First off, go to Yelp for honest reviews.We booked the speakeasy train. This was our first excursion with New Hope railroad and I was very much excited and looking forward to this. The train was due to depart at 7pm however, we did not leave until 730pm. I think the information regarding the time and the schedule could have been communicated more effectively because I for one was left wondering what was the delay when the ticket clearly said 7 PM departure, and was left wondering then would we make it back to the train station in time.Now to the most frustrating part of the night. We paid for the platinum class tickets, which I assumed would have meant some type of a different experience than a regular ticket cost. Instead, what it equated to was us being in the car furthest from where the musician was, granted he did make his way toward us on about four occasions but hands-down, he spent the majority of the trip at the other end of the train cars where it was barely audible. In addition, we were the very last guests to be provided with the cocktails, with the last cocktail given to us as we were pulling up to depart from the train so we didn’t even have time for it.I will also say that if you suffer from any type of motion sickness, this is not the experience for you. Overall, highly disappointed with the night. The food and the cocktails that we were served were not in any capacity worth the amount of money of the tickets. This is at best, and I’m being very generous with this, a $50 experience and as I said, I’m being generous. Parking is also very expensive at $15 per hour. I do not recommend this experience at all as I just have nothing positive to report. And because of everything, I will not be trying any of the other experiences with the New Hope railroad.

Cute train depot with several souvenir shops: one for railroad stuff, and one for Christmas stuff. Clean bathrooms, everything well maintained.Train ride was fun and educational. Conductors and staff paid special attention to small children ("everyone clap for the first time riders!" and age-appropriate chit-chat), making it a memorable event for them!

Loved it. The staff were kind, the train was fantastic!Update: I was on the no hope after dark train that derailed. I heard there was a lot of complaining. This wasn’t a situation that the staff were prepared for. Someone could argue that being in a railway, they should - but honestly, they did a wonderful job. They didn’t leave us alone in the dark. They shared snacks, n did the best they could to look out for us. Honestly, I found it fun. They made the best of an unexpected situation. The staff were incredibly friendly and polite. Even the customer service did their best. We were supposed to be on an earlier ride, but they were welcoming and did the best they could to accommodate us. The first time we came, they gave us a little tour. The staff truly enjoy what they do. They have compassion.Folks need to learn patience and understand that this is a not for profit small organisation. This isn’t a huge conglomerate or corporation. Customer service isn’t a huge set of offices chock a block with ppl answering phones. There is most likely one or two people answering phones n emails. We don’t have many historic railways in USA, we need to keep our history going. If you can improve things, suggest actual productive suggestions. Don’t throw tantrums.

I could see how this can be a nice experience but for us it was an unfortunate flop. Because of the rain the engine kept skipping and the train was jerking a lot and not safe for walking or standing up. And we had to stop on the tracks for a long time and couldn't really enjoy the ride. The hostess in our car was super nice though and tried to make up for the delay. The hot chocolate tasted horrible so I didn't drink it, but my husband and daughter did. My husband got nauseous and my daughter was throwing up for hours. I was fine. We spent nearly $500 for this experience and I unfortunately do not think it was worth it, so I do not think we will ever return in the future. I wish this wasn't our experience.

A friend and I did the No Hope After Dark train ride tonight. It was extremely underwhelming. Do not waste your money.When you first enter there is a cool haunted display.It was timely, the train is clean and had a lot of charm. But it wasn't even decorated or creepy. They had two creepy characters walking through the train cars and they were cool.For what you pay it should be exciting, but it wasn't, at all.

The trains are very nice as are the staff on the train. We went on the wine and tapas fall excursion. The food was ok. The boarding of the train is chaotic. This is the second time we have gone on this train and both times the employees seemed extremely confused about which class tickets board where. Tickets were scanned but not checked while boarding.This resulted in two tables of people that did not pay for the wine and tapas to be seated at tables, then asked to move after they had consumed the first course that others paid for.They were then visibly upset when asked to move and the two groups that were supposed to sit there had to wait for their seats for quite a long time. This just could have been completed avoided if tickets were checked. The man made a scene and knocked over the table, spilled stuff everywhere. It was just not the experience that anyone wanted and for how much they charge for this, it should be more organized.

Had a great experience on the New Hope Railroad for the Christmas experience with Santa. My 3 year old daughter loved it. Santa did a great job along with the bango player. The conductor and all the staff were also very polite and helpful too. I didn't know what to expect when reading the other reviews but we gave it a shot and were pleasantly surprised. It's definitely for kids and if you go in with the expectations that it's not about you and it's about how happy they are with the experience it's worth it.

Great day trip idea...the only issue was the views on the ride were just ok...the scenery was not super exciting and the overhead was hard to understand the tour guide but def try..we had a goodtime

Important - See new hope public parking for real time reviews of parking - to see the parking reviews don’t get stuck paying over $45 bucks for less than 2 hrs - saw $61 dollars for 3 or more hours. The ticket for street parking no meter is less. New Hope Railroad do better posting prices for the lot adjacent to your rail line. Very misleading - be transparent

The train ride was sub par seeing as I paid $140. I assumed that would come with snacks and parking at minimum. However I was surprised parking was by the hour at $15 per hour totaling to $45 . The parking lot is disastrous a lot of hit and runs and tight parking with extremely big vehicles. It was hard to maneuver and caused traffic jams. The train ride itself wasn't anything special for the cost. I am still trying to figure out what I paid for. Very disappointed will not recommend.

We did the speakeasy train and it was a LOT of fun- great musicians, some little cocktails and apps, really fun atmosphere. The only complaint would be when we booked the tickets the website has first class and VIP. The pictures for first class show an old fashioned pretty dining car when in fact the first class in a 80s Amtrak train not the vintage car, that’s the much more expensive VIP so we were kind of disappointed in that. But it was fun to be in 20s costumes, it was Ada accessible and the first class seats were very comfortable. Overall good time. Beware if you park at the station it’s VERY expensive ($45 for the 2h 15 min)!

This review mainly reflects the Halloween attraction not much of the railroad itself. The night time event portion of this experience was a real let down tbh. Didn't know what to expect but nothing really about the trip was Halloween related. I really hate being charged 45 dollars to park for 2 hours, then 136 for two adult tickets for a 20 minute train ride in the dark with the lights on so we can't see anything. Then have to buy hotdogs once more when being dropped off in a small open area with nothing really to do. 195 dollars in the hole for this experience and I would never do it again and advise anyone else to save your money. Maybe the trip during the daytime to see the landscape is okay but the Halloween event is really a joke for the prices they charge.

*AVOID AT ALL COSTS*This company is running a scam and will take your money without delivering the promised service.My family and I booked a trip for the Fall Excursion and decided to splurge almost $900 for 5 people on the “Platinum Class” tickets. We wanted to be comfortable for the 2 hour trip and wanted to make the most of this experience.When we arrived and boarded the train, we were directed to “The Lounge” that looked nothing like what we were expecting nor shown on the website. Upon asking the attendants, we were informed that due to demand and limited availability, the Platinum Class space that we paid for was instead reserved for people who booked Platinum Class + Wine.How is that fair to us or our fault? We weren’t informed of this change ahead of time, there is no disclaimer stating such is within the right of the company on their website, plus the seats and space we were directed to were definitely not worth the $900 we spent. Other guests in the space with us faced similar predicaments and we all voiced our frustrations and were told that the manager Kathy will speak with us at the end of the trip.Instead, at the end, the gentleman who helped us board the train, a male and evidently not the manager Kathy, came and stated that unfortunately there are no refunds or price adjustments and nothing can be done further, that we had to get off the train to let the next set of people board, and that the owners advise to call customer service.Basically telling us too bad so sad, we already took your money now take the loss and move on.Therefore, please save yourself from this sham and scam of a business and book a better and ethical trip elsewhere!

Always have a fabulous “top notch” experience at the playhouse beginning with dinner at the Deck! A great big THANK YOU to Alex, Erica, and the entire team for providing us with VIP service all the time! Erica took care of us this past Saturday and was so nice to my 2 grandchildren by giving them coloring sheets and crayons during dinner. I loved her gracious and kind attention to detail! Thanks again Erica for taking great care of us! ALL TEAM MEMBERS OF THE DECK RESTAURANT ARE AMAZING!!!!

We loved our first trip to the new restaurant - Playdeck. Amazing views, fast service, kind servers and really delicious food. Especially loved the pickles and wedge salad. But I do wish there was a kids menu.

This is one of our cherished spots. The atmosphere here is always vibrant, and the people are warm and welcoming. The town itself is full of charm and character. For those who appreciate theater and Broadway-style performances, this place is an absolute gem.

Intimate, historic venue offers a great theater experience. Not a bad seat in the house.

Today we went for a walk in New Hope and decided to have lunch at this restaurant. As a vegan I found hummus, these were prepared from white beans. This was the first time I had hummus with beans, I liked it very pleasantly accompanied with chickpeas, Cucumber, caramelized onion and pita bread

Date of Visit: Sat Aug 19, 2023We came to Buck’s county to see a show at the Buck’s County Playhouse – The Bridges of Madison County starring the great Broadway star, Kate Baldwin.The area around the theatre is absolutely beautiful. The theatre is situated right on the Delaware river overlooking New Jersey.The theatre is a renovated historic gristmill right on the water. The seating is nice and comfortable – with a little leg room – its not too tight.The stage is easily seen from most seats without issue – as the theatre is small-ish.The sound quality if fantastic - we heard every word and song as clear as can be.I am glad we came to see this show because otherwise I don’t think I would have known about the town of New Hope and what a charming and historic little town it is.

Always a fun time at BCP! I've been seeing shows here since the 1900s, and I've always enjoyed myself. The staff is so kind, and the shows are Broadway quality. Makes a great date night!

Went to see Grease with friends. The theater is the Perfect size. Not too big or too small. Every seat is a good seat. The performance was great. I was really impressed by some of the performers singing. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance to the theater as well as places to go after. Highly recommend this.

The Bucks County Playhouse is an excellent place to enjoy a show or a play. It is small with good 👍 seats.You are close enough to the stage,so that you can see and hear everything.Also there is a restaurant and bar 🍸 that is attached to the Playhouse. You can have lunch/dinner before or after the show .Or during intermission,you can go to bar and have a drink. Also there is an outdoor deck,which overlooks the scenic Delaware River.The staff at the Bucks County Playhouse was friendly 😀 and very helpful during my visitI would recommend visiting the Bucks County Playhouse to 👀 see a show. It's an 👍 great experience!!!

Went to see a show and enjoyed all the beautiful bars and restaurants afterwards weather was great and just had a great time

Great place to see a play or show. Always a fun experience and a treasure of Bucks County. Parking is expensive and a challenge. Seats are comfy. Their packages are a good value.

From LA I loved my 2 days in New Hope. I saw the Sounds of Soul and it was outstanding. I SO recommend it and as the seats were the same price all over, we sat in the second row. We had drinks around the bar and entered from there for a seamless experience.

Perfect venue for entertainment with roughly 500 seats. All have great view of stage. Valet parking is a disaster. Waited 45 minutes for car to bought into parking lot area afterwards. Better to park at curb meters and walk.

First time here to see Izzac Mizrahi. The show was great! His band was amazing. Great venue.

The Playhouse deck restaurant has good food but a bit pricey. Nevertheless I would recommend and definitely return. Would be even better when the garage doors are open. It was cool and rainy on my visit.

Excellent theater experience in beautiful New Hope! Productions are incredibly well done and the actors always on point. You'll NEVER go wrong coming here!

fantastic views of the Delaware River, excellent cocktails and snacks, and wonderfully friendly service all make this a terrific New Hope experience...recommended

First time at the Playhouse, we'll definitely be coming back. Had lunch outside on the deck before the show and the food was very good, the view of the river relaxing. We didn't have a reservation but you can make one online to ensure a good seat. It's a relatively small theater, sat in row L on the side and had a great view. Talented performers, good staging and sound. The seats are on the small side, just like in most theaters on Broadway, but not a steep climb.Valet parking is $30 and the money goes directly to the non profit Playhouse, not sure if there is self park there but there is parking for $2 an hour in the vicinity. Do not park at the railway station- we pulled in not knowing it's $15 an hour and then couldn't back out. So we had to pay $15 for 2 minutes! The restrooms are close, in the restaurant just outside the theater; single stalls so there was occasionally a small wait.The theater said no one under 5 allowed for this performance of Last of the Red Hot Mamas but there offer shows geared to kids and it would be a wonderful first time theater experience for an appropriate show.

Been so many years since my last visit and so many changes to the theatre, all improvements. The house is small and the seats comfortable. Our seats were good and I suspect there really isn’t a bad seat. We saw a musical play, “Cross That River”. Piano, bass, guitar, drummer and violinist all on stage with a small cast of a few others. It was a great story with a nice lift at the end and encouragement reminding us who we are in this great country! Parking can be a drag in New Hope so be prepared to pay up. We did not avail ourselves to snacks or drinks but it looked like there were some. The town is full of great places to eat and shop so you can make a full day of it. I think it’s time to keep this little gem on my radar.

Soooo much fun! A perfect getaway for the family to enjoy a hot summer day. So many things to enjoy throughout the park. There are attractions for all ages. From the chill Lazy River to the most intense water slides you can handle. And everything in between to suit thrill seekers of all levels. Highly recommendgetting the Express Lane pass if you can. This makes the day and the line waiting so much more enjoyable. Well worth it on a busy day. The rides are well maintained and were all operational at the time we attended. The park is very clean and well kept throughout the day. Plenty of seating and areas to chill if thrill rides aren’t your thing. The wave pool is a little underwhelming but still fun for the family to enjoy together without concerns of loosing anyone. The only complaint I’d have is the food pricing. While you’d expect to pay slightly higher prices when visiting a park, they really GOUGE you!! There’s no outside food options close by that you could run out and grab a bite and they know it. Some single meals reach $30 per person. A simple cheeseburger and fries meal is $18. Otherwise the overall experience is definitely a good one. Check it out , just come prepared to pay. 5 star rating but the food situation brings it down to a 4.

Awesome place for Families who need a quick get away. We loved the room and the view from the balcony! The zipping down the zipline was awesome and so were the surrounding restaurants! The indoor water park was fun for everyone!

Must visit so much fun. Unlimited water rides lazy river good for all ages. Cafe inside has great food options and drinks. Amazon food store inside for quick food check out. Coffee available. Lockers available. Good restaurants. Buy tickets online better price. Keep changing clothes and mobile cover

Machine with tickets that you order online was not working properly, went to guest services and they tried to charge me 119$ for a lift ticket that online cost 79$... Biggest rip off ever. All snow is fake and tons of ice coverage, conditions were not great but solid amount of runs during the day. Like the new covered lift and access to all lift services by scanning the card. Parking used to be free, now it's 12$ for general and 25$ for "preffered". Hot dog and Fries 18$, bring your wallet, you will need it...

Truly a gem. Plenty space for everyone, indoor and outdoor restaurant, good music, extremely clean, many activities for all ages and different styles. I have 3 kids children 9, 6 and 2 years and all of them had a blast. Life vest in each pool and so much more. My baby went crazy with the dinosaurs all over the place and my nice was super happy with mermaid interaction by the lazy pool. The view is extraordinary and overall a great spot.

I'm not disappointed. The cost was reasonable. I went on July 5th and purchased the fun 4 pack (a bit of a discount) for the outdoors waterpark. The park was kept clean, and there was something for everyone to do. I think that weekdays are the best. I'm assuming that it gets crowded in the weekends. We were able to find a spot under a large umbrella relatively quickly.

My husband and I have wanted to try camelbeach waterpark for the 4th of July many years. Finally this year we were able to make the trip!We drove 4.5 hours to check this place out. Here’s why I give it a 3 :On Thursday july 4th we got into camelback resort parking lot. Very confusing if you have no idea parking isn’t free nor 45-50.00.They do not tell you when you come in that you’re in the expensive parking and that cheap parking is THRU the expensive lot. Luckily I asked where the 12.00 parking was because they tried charging me 45.00. (If you want cheap tell them I want general parking for 12.00.)We got our spot & walked up a huge hill to get to the line. Luckily we had our tickets purchased online because that line to get tickets at the gate was INSANE! They had no self service machines working so guest services was a 2 mile long wait. It was crazy. The actual line to get into the waterpark once you had your tickets took us about 20 minutes.As we got in I headed for my reserved (BUY ONLINE) VIP chairs (45.00 for 2) the line was super long & they sold out of all of them! as my husband headed for the express passes. (35.00 each)We then went to our chairs & it was a nice little spot on the deck overlooking the wave pool! They have waitresses up there that bring you your food too!So we did the “adventure trio with free waterpark” ticket online.We asked how do we get to the outdoor activities which included summer tubing, 1000’ zip line, & mountain coaster. Very good deal for it all! It was just a 5 min walk thru the parking lot to get to the base camp.We started at the zip line, it was very fun but very short. but they did not do a good job on photos. The guy only got us with our backs turned. Great pics……. as a photographer they need to get different angles. Luckily we did not buy them ahead of time.Then we did the mountain coaster (INCREDIBLY PAINFUL) I’d skip it honestly lol. It’s not something we would do again. If you pushed those bars down you were flying around everywhere getting beat up!!!Then summer tubing. That was a fun time! Got a whole hour (we only went down 4 times) & got to go backwards, you spin a lot! It’s fun it really is. The tubes are just incredibly HOT.So we walked back up the hill to the waterpark, got changed then went to go on slides. We had express passes & this place does not abide by their express passes whatsoever! Don’t waste 35.00 on it because they make you wait with the regular line or just as long! we have never been to a park that tells express people “we let 4 groups of the regular line go, & then 1 express pass group go” THAT ISNT EXPRESS!!!That’s us waiting every 4 groups. It makes our line just as long as regular!ITS SUPPOSED TO BE 1 GROUP REGULAR LINE 1 GROUP EXPRESS LINE. Simple easy.Everyone was mad in the express because we wasted money when they don’t know how to work it!We did the vortex slide and express pass was on that slide but as we walked up they only stated it ON THE FLOOR which side was express, so everyone in the regular line was standing in the express not caring about people needing to get pass them. They were very rude people attending this park..express pass line NEEDS to be marked & sectioned off better so no one in the regular line can block it or access it. This park is very unorganized when it comes to lines and the express pass. VERY unorganized. If you do buy it just push through the rude people standing in express from the regular line & show them your express pass, let em be mad! They are in your way.This park needs to understand express pass better!!Now SAFETY. We rode the spin cycle slide, the lifeguard was sending people one after the other without making sure they made it out of the bowl. People were flying out of the tunnel into the bowl into other guests!!! When my husband & I did it we were scared someone was gonna come out & smack right into us! That’s not OK. You gotta wait for people to get out of the bowl before sending down.The cafe inside, you use a credit card to get in which is neat!But, Fun waterpark with flaws.

I went there on Saturday (July 22)The ticket was $59.99 adult, and I paid $12 for parking a little bit further to the park,but they have a little bus passing all the time they can take you to the parking to the park wich was great(parking nearby is $50)🙈The food is delicious 😋 and not so expensive.People are friends, and the place is very clean.We really enjoyed 😉

Never again!They sold me a ticket at 5 pm and inside the water park, the Blue Nile Adventure River lifeguard said that they were already closed! Are you seriously?!I bought 3 tickets! The park closes at 7 pm! Why then did you sell me tickets? Everything is unrealistic and disproportionately expensive! Parking $50. Locker $30. You buy tickets and again pay for the attractions inside the park! To get on the cable car you have to sign some stupid paper! Lifeguards are angry, nervous and tired. The only normal people in this park are the grandmothers who stand at the entrance and the security guys. I was angry at everyone, but the security guys were very calm, polite and sorry about my bad experience in this park.

Camelback Waterpark is an absolute blast for families and thrill-seekers alike! The park offers a fantastic variety of attractions, from heart-pounding water slides to relaxing lazy rivers. The wave pool is a hit with kids and adults, providing endless fun and excitement. The park is well-maintained and clean, with plenty of seating and shaded areas for when you need a break from the sun. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. Food options are plentiful and tasty, catering to different tastes and preferences. Whether you're looking for an adrenaline rush or a leisurely day by the water, Camelback Waterpark has something for everyone. Highly recommended for a fun-filled day of water adventures!

I really enjoyed the park overall my only issue is the staff & the unreasonable prices for the food & the taste was disgusting. The problem with the staff is they’re very impatient & look unenthusiastic. They gave me and my friends attitude for asking for a cup of cheese and charged us 8$ for it. My friend also had a difficult with the payment methods they provided. Basically you go into the store by paying a dollar in advance through apple pay or a card. Then you grab whatever you want to eat and it’s scans whatever you took on the way out charging you through your apple pay. The problem is they overcharged her & didn’t even refund her back. All they offered was waters for compensation. Another problem we had was with the groupon tickets. If you come with groupon tickets prepare to be sent to customer service before your visit because apparently it has to go through to camelbeach first by doing a process but it never mentioned that so we had to repurchase the tickets and spend more money than we initially did. To add on, EVERYTHINGGG is really expensive sobe prepared. Overall, the park itself was super fun and enjoyable just didn’t have a good experience with the staff and payment forms.

Great slides, park felt clean with the exception of the changing rooms which really need attention, slide attendants were so amazing (Christopher was a standout for my family!), waited around 45 minutes for Titan slide (busy Saturday) but all other slides we went on even with a crowded park had virtually no wait. Rita's was a great treat! Parking (other than the general lot with shuttle that was $12) was $45 or $50 which is $$$ plus locker fees ($25). Overall we had a great day and will definitely return!

This is a beautiful place for everyone. Its children friendly and most of rides are enjoyable however many of the rides on this visit was out of commission , we were still able to enjoy our time. If half the park going to be out of commission customers should have a break in prices. I guess they have to keep the same price in order to maintain the property and high standards, understandable.

First time visiting and came on 4th of July, different types of rides and the lines were super long which is expected for a holiday. But charging $50 parking at the Waterpark then $30 dollars again for guest staying at the resort is ridiculous. Not many options for food either, there are better water parks in the area then this one.

We are season Pass Holders! We love it here!! So much fun! This season the photographers were as active as last season. I feel like we been chasing them for photos as before they would ask us but now they just stand there. Other than that we love it here!

My family and I like camel beach for the most part but the prices keep going up considerably so much so that I do t think we will be able to afford this again the food is extremely expensive especially if you have more then 1 child to feed and you can’t take food in long ago they use to let you bring a cooler in if you paid a small fee but not anymore parking is a additional fee of either 12$, 35$ or 40$ so if you pack a lunch to eat in your car you either gotta go far to get it or pay the expensive parking to be closer. Lockers are 30$ for a small !!! You do get 10 back when you return the key but that’s still a lot especially when you just paid so much to park and get in. A bottle of soda was 5$ and a basket of simple chicken fingers was 16$. I understand that they need to make money to keep this place up and running but the price of everything on top of what the ticket prices were is to much it’s simply not gonna be a place that average working class families are gonna be able to afford to do anymore if it continues to cost so much to go unfortunately they should at least let ppl bring food because it’s extremely expensive to feed 3 children when i already paid almost 200$ to come for the day so with the price of food your looking at a 400/500$ day and that doesn’t include sovereigns or anything like that

Good ski resort with lots of slopes. We were there after Christmas. It was very crowded. Temperature reached near 40 so conditions icy. They had a number of lifts out so long lines. They have food, but very expensive. It looked like a great tubing set up. Slopes we lit at night.

I had a chance to visit this place again and it was a blast! First with family, this time with a friend. While on the pricey side, the amenities are good. They include gym, arcade, and waterpark. There is no complementary anything. I brought my own continental breakfast items, and dinner was good. I chose a balcony this time, with a great scenic view (and around the property overall). If you can catch a sale, do it. The reason there aren't 5 stars is due to pricing.

Waterpark itself is amazing , rides great and pools. We had a blast , my kid enjoy , we went Wednesday and was nice no too much people, weather great also. I don’t think we have to pay for parking $12 and took shuttle and also food its overprice. We have to pay for pictures and lockers $30 too high. We did mountain activities also we spent $$$$$$

Came here last month it was a pleasant visit. The weather was so perfect and sunny, but due to that some areas were melted and wet that made it tricky to ski.We parked all way nearby the office area, and had to pay around $40 but it was convenient as well since we can grab anything from the car since it’s so close and no need to rent a closet.The staff were very friendly and things were very smooth. There is a food court serving pizza, fried chicken, coffee and other snacks.Definitely coming back.

I am very disappointed with Camelback!I called a week ahead of time to cancel my stay in which I purchased a birthday package and was told that I would not be reimbursed a 169.00 for pizza and gift bag and soda! Which I did not understand! So I just wanted to change the date for a later date so I would not loose out on that much money. So I was told I’d be charged $100 to modify my stay no problem when I called back to do so the person who was helping me did not enter it in the system. As the time came closer to my stay I realized I never received my itinerary. So I called and it could not be found in the system, I was told I’d be called back and no one called me back! So I called back a day later and wast filed the same again! No call back again! I called a 3rd time. And spoke to a manager and was told she’d call me back and that was last Wednesday and it’s Monday and no one called me back again! I and very very displeased with their customer service! The manager guaranteed me she would fix my stay and again I have not heard from her!

I go here every year with friends and family to ski. We always have so much fun and it’s so nice! We don’t stay at the hotel, but the slopes are always great and staff are friendly. The food is good as well!

I just visited for Columbus’s day weekend. The kids loved it. However, I called the reception multiple times to ask for extra sheets no one ever answered the phone. I made a reservation and paid online. My credit card was overcharged for over $800 during my check in. I’ve been calling their billing department for over two weeks now and no one ever answers the phone. I spoke to their customer service department and made a claim a week ago and no one has contacted me.

I never want to ski here again. This past weekend was my 3rd time, and it wasn’t a charm. There were 7 trails open. 7. On a holiday weekend. And one of those 7 trails was the bunny hill. I was with a group of beginner skiers, so our only options were the bunny hill or two other green trails that were on completely opposite sides of the mountains. To get to one of the green trails, you had to go down the bunny hill, first, which was fine, but on the way back, you have to go back up the lift near the bunny hill. Well, the line for that was absolutely ridiculous and disorganized. There were two sides feeding into it without anyone directing traffic, and since one of the lift scanners was not working, one employee made us come through the side we were on and then go to the other side to scan. In the meantime people behind us were getting in front of us. Once we finally made it back up the bunny hill lift so that we could go to the only other green trail that was available on the mountain, we had to takeoff our skis because it’s all uphill to get to that lift. I can’t believe I paid $345 for me and my two kids to ski TWO actual trails. You would think the mountain would do the right thing and reduce the fee when there’s nothing to ski or at least put a disclaimer on the website so you know before you buy. We didn’t stay at the resort this time, but we should have because the prices for the waterpark were jacked way up for the holiday weekend. $134 each for Twilight tickets. I literally feel robbed.

Stayed for 4 days. Drove for hourssss to get here from Central Virginia. Arrived during one of the worst weather forecasts but we had no choice but to make it work. First day was pretty chill and everyone seemed friendly and responsive. On day 2 I woke up to my shoe being wet. I picked up the shoe and noticed that the laces on one was wet and the other which was still tied...was dry. I investigate and noticed that the carpet in the corner of the bedroom is SOAKED. The HVAC unit behind the access panel in the bedroom is leaking. I call maintenance to inform them. The spot at this time was maybe about a 2 foot wide area. Long story short.... I called/attempted to reach the front desk a total of 4 times. 3 times I was promised something that never happened. On the last day I was offered a room change and declined due to us leaving in the morning. The spot at this time was now easily 6 feet wide and growing due to AC running. I had one tech come and say that he would send someone up with a carpet extractor. That never happened. The hold times on the phone trying to reach the front desk is awful. I eventually walked up to the desk on my way back to my room and voiced my concerns and finally we got a little traction. A tech stopped by and he was blindsided and surprised. He did the best he could with some towels but said the extractors are locked up and in use by a different dept. Somehow on his cleaning and unclogging the AC drain...he knocked the AC unit power off. Many hours later around 11 pm my wife tried to turn the AC unit on because we noticed it was hot in the room. It would not turn on. I called the front desk. They promised someone... nobody came. So we just chalked the whole experience as a lost and went to sleep close to midnight without AC... and checked out the next morning. The dining staff is awesome. The ride attendants are awesome. The front desk is horrible and the maintenance staff is hit or miss. Seen 2 different ones... one was good... the other was clueless. Had some other small issues that I omitted... and just decided to type out the BIG ISSUE. Not picky at all...but this small little spot ended up growing into something far worse. If they did what they promised the first time... it would have been fixed.

Stayed 2 nights with my husband and children ( who are both teenagers). We had an absolute blast We enjoyed all of the indoor Waterpark activities as well as the mountain activities ( coaster, tubing and ziplining) . The arcade is a blast. The rooms are great, clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. We are so excited to come back next summer so we can enjoy the outdoor Waterpark as well.Highly recommend checking this place out if you have kiddos of all ages.

This is a very disorganized ski resort with incredibly long lift lines and crowds that exceed the capacity of the mountain. I spent the weekend here and spent significantly more time in line than riding, not to mention the trails are about 4 minutes long for an experienced rider. Conditions also easily got icy and a lot of trails are skinny, there are a handful of better mountains in the Poconos to enjoy, I don’t recommend this one.

Disappointed.Booking the stay was a challenge as the website needs work. Attempted to call to book and was such poor service, went back to fight with the website.Nightly parking fees are absurd when you pay what you do for a room- extra $100 to park my car. Multiple confusions at the desk around credit cards. (Booked/paid with one card, wanted a different card on file for charges to room -FYI - don’t.)Indoor waterpark had off duty lifeguards (group of 5-6 guys) physically pushing kids out of lines, disrespecting safety(head first, no tubes, shoving, etc). Over heard a parent speak to management. After it continued I also said something and was brushed off. It was so bad other lifeguards were apologizing for the behaviors. It continued until the park closed.Everything needed up keep- rust, paint cracking and plaster falling off in water areas, carpets worn thin and dirty in halls, outdated rooms.Basic housekeeping needs like trash removal are once every THREE DAYS unless you call. For a water resort 1/2 the year- no place to hang suits. TV had no connection for 2/3 day stay. Bedsheet had a rip, dirty floor, no printed info in room around any services or park times, shuttle times etc. had to navigate a poorly designed website for any info.Travel agency has a cubby in lobby and attempts to stop you and sell you packages every time you walk by.Had to pick a day to go to outdoor park in advance with the “package” I made the assumption this was to avoid overcrowding. Our day at the outdoor park was bananas. Lines, on a Monday, were 15-30mins at best. We waited in lines as long as 50 mins. Food lines were also terrible. Snack shack burger and fries was a 45 mins wait to get food AFTER standing in line for 10 mins to order. Overall it was a hot day of waiting in lines. We arrived at 11am and left by 4 only having ridden a few slides. I get it- waiting in lines is part of a park- Just disappointing.No one thing was terrible. But the whole experience was expensive and mediocre at best. Dingy, long lines, disengaged staff,

We went for our 3rd stay and for a very special family getaway. Executive Chef Jess from Trails End Pub and Grill was beyond amazing! Jess went out her way to make the night extra special, pure heart of gold. Gary from Trails End also is a jem and made sure our family were enjoying ourselves the whole night! I will definitely be back and look forward to seeing the 2 wonder staff Jess and Gary again. Thank you isn't even enough to say, but thank you both for making a memorable weekend for my family and I!

We live in central PA and used to go to Camelback as kids to go skiing, so we were really excited to go there for the weekend to celebrate my nephew's birthday. Although the hotel and grounds are well kept, pretty much everything else was awful.When we got there, we wanted to use the indoor waterpark but were told that the waterslides and lazy river were closed due to lack of staffing. Fine, we'll hop on the shuttle and go to the outdoor park, even though we were really looking forward to the indoor one (Aquatopia) and the tickets for that park are more expensive. When we got to the outdoor park the line was insanely long. When we got to the front of the line the attendant said we had to have printed tickets or something; our email confirmation was not good enough. So, off to another line at the guest services office. On the way there, a few people said their tickets to the outdoor park were comped (rightfully so) because the slides and lazy river were closed. We asked for ours to be comped as well when we finally got to the front of the guest services line, but a scared young employee said he just couldn't do it. Annoying.My husband, son, parents and me went back to Aquatopia because we were so annoyed by all the chaos at the outdoor park. My brother and his family stayed at the outdoor park. My sister in law later told me that one of the workers yelled at my nephew and made him super upset? which is crazy because he is the most respectful, well behaved kid I ever met, literally. ANYWAY..We get back to Aquatopia.. the slides and lazy river finally opened up at like, 4pm? While walking around I saw a dirty band aid and part of someone's weave laying on the side of the pool - yikes!Also, the food sucked and is so over priced it's ridiculous. My mom ordered a hot dog at Aquatopia. Seemingly a simple item to cook and serve warm but alas, that did not happen. We later went to dinner at one of the restaurants there and while the staff was super nice and helpful, they did mess up our order. The breakfast sandwich at the cafe in the lobby was cold, and the macarons were like $6 for one and they were not even good. Want to sit around one of the outdoor fire pits? That will run you $100. Everyone in my party was so disappointed.This place is so expensive, and I understand that it takes a lot to keep it safe for everyone. I also understand people call off and you have to close stuff. But, we kindly explained all of this to "Kevin" the "manager" at the front desk and he offered to give us free passes to the outdoor park. My brother's family came all the way from CT so they were not interested and Kevin just didn't have any other options for us. Kevin claimed he would get back to us and never did, also ignored my email. A+ customer service, Kevin.Bottom line: Save yourself getting completely ripped off by this scam of a hotel and go to Kalahari or Great Wolf Lodge.

Just visited the resort over the Columbus Day weekend with my family. The resort amenities were fine. The kids loved the arcade and waterpark. Food is quite expensive for what it was. The room was clean but bedding was a bit rough. What was frustrating the most was how the resort handled billing. We prepaid through Chase travel. When checked in, the receptionist confirmed everything was paid for and they would just hold $125 each night on our credit card. They ended up holding $1000 worth of pending charge on our credit card. When we checked out, they handed us a bill with the prepaid room cost included. They said they had new accounting system and when their accounting department reconciled things, the room charge would get taken off the final charge. Today we saw the total charge with the duplicated room charge was posted on our credit card. The other $1000 pending charges still didn’t drop. We called them and they said we had to tell Chase to call them since we booked through third party. Chase called them 2 times and no one picked up the phone. Now we are still trying to resolve the double charge issues, plus hoping the other wrong pending charges won’t just get posted. The resort takes no accountability for their wrongdoing. I never had any issues with prepaid booking through Chase or Amex. The situation was handled poorly and unprofessionally. I won’t come back.

My family in I go on a weekend family getaway once a year. With a big blended family and the boys all in spots throughout the year, it’s the one time we get to relax and bond together. Our experience at the actual water park was decent. The kids liked it. The room service however could be further from pleasant! I have called the hotel numerous times asking for reasoning on a fee that I was charged after my stay. Thinking it was a cleaning fee, I was determined to find out why. It turns out that when we were told due to them not having our room ready upon our stay that we could take the late check in for the same amount of time we waited (after throwing a fit). Well they knew what they were doing because they charged us for it and now they keep giving me the run around about it. My last call with them was 2 weeks ago and they told me they would refund me the $50 fee. Still nothing. It’s very sad because we would have loved to return but unfortunately I don’t feel like paying $700 for a room I don’t get my full time for. I’ve read the other reviews and turns out this is not uncommon for them. There is zero reason their site says rooms are ready BY 4. Meaning before 4 but no later than. Instead they are never ready by this time. I have no doubt if we hadn’t kept pushing for our room (we had 5 unhappy kids) that we would have been waiting hours longer. I don’t think we will be going back at this point

Stayed here numerous times before. I was here this time for my Daughters 14th bday. We got a 2 bedroom suite which was very neat and clean. Me and my husband happened to run into Orlando who is part of the food and beverage hospitality dept while we were on our way to the elevator. I have to say, he was the friendliest and most approachable person I we encountered. He asked about our stay and surprised my daughter and her friends with some treats. His demeanor was warm and pleasant with the best customer service we encountered since all the stays we've had here and we really appreciated how he made sure her stay was extra special for her.We enjoyed the water park but the only thing was there were not a lot of tubes for the slides. We had to wait around for a long time just to get an inner tube to use for the slides in lazy River. There were also a lot of slides closed so the attractions were limited. Other than that we did have an overall good stay.

I bought a triple pass, and they literally only let me ride for 2 out of 3 days. Terrible customer service. The conditions are always icy and crowded. Lines to get on the lift are always long.It’s a business, but they’re just incredibly greedy

We did our family winter trip at the camelback resort in Dec of 2023 and it was such an amazing experience. We had a great time beside one issue that was everyday. We were woken up at 5am almost everyday because of the family above us, I said something to the front desk but nothing was even done. While checking out I asked to make a complaint about that issue and the person checking me out said she would put in the complaint for me and she would have a supervisor contact me and I asked how to reach out to a supervisor and I was told to go on the site and contact them that way. It’s been a year now and no one ever reached out to me. I’m considering doing our winter vacation again at this resort but I’m very concerned that the upmost service and guarantee of customer satisfaction isn’t something this resort seem to care about. I’ve called and emailed many times with the emails unanswered and the calls being we will call you back with a supervisor when one is available. I just found out that the resort has a new computer system so my complaint is not found and the report is not showing either. Also the contact information for the supervisor that the front desk person gave me was just a way to put your information down for promos. I spoke to someone that said since a year has gone by and no information about it on the new system is available, “Im not sure the supervisor will do anything for you” I’m so upset. I spent over $1300 for this vacation, was woken up with my kiddos at 5am every day, and this was our vacation too, and this isn’t a matter that’s taken seriously. We are starting to make this a annual tradition but now why would I choose this resort if my issue wasn’t deserving of a phone call, I was feed wrong information and keeping a family happy and coming back isn’t the upmost importance.

This review is for the Fall Fest they are running currently. I went last weekend and it was the most overpriced, lackluster experience. From the moment we arrived (late morning, maybe 10:30 or 11), it was completely disorganized. The lines were barely moving and when I got to the front I realized why. The girl behind the counter forgot to charge us for things (although I think she actually charged us twice) so I had to get back in line to get the tickets I paid for. On the subject, the price she told me was CRAZY. We didn’t even do any of the cool things, like the zip lines or mountain coaster. Paid nearly $100 for 3 of us to just walk around, paint pumpkins and play one round of mini golf. NOT WORTH IT. I was expecting a lot more for an established and popular resort.

Went with extended family to stay over and use waterpark. Park was nice and not too crowded. Had a 2 Bed Room suite. Paid for 8 guests and.. NO washcloths, 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, no comforters, no extra pillows or sheets for the pullout bed. For that much $$ I shouldn't have to hunt down housekeeping every time I find something else missing. Room was clean otherwise and we had a good time.

Went on the 28th for a birthday weekend booked a room and bought tickets for the sunbowl tubing. Due to weather sunbowl tubing was cancelled on the 29th of Sep, they said they will give me my money back in 10 days. Been 16 days already and what they did is they charged me again for all of the tickets instead refunding my money. (Now i have a double charge for all of those tickets)I contacted the resort spoke to Mia and she said they will solve the situation and I havent heard from them yet!!! I was trying to solve this issue with them first But i guess since they dont even have the dignity in reaching back to me, I will contact my bank and put them under investigation because I do not understand how can they take another payment from my card just like that. Fortunately i have all receipts of transactionsWill not recommend this Resort at All, very stressful!!!! Very alarming!!!

Our experience was okay, and here’s why: this was our first family trip with our 1.5-year-old, and we were super excited to take him to the waterpark because of his love for water. Unfortunately, we didn’t take the time to check the room before settling in.The waterpark itself was great, and the food there was good, too. The staff at the waterpark were lovely.However, when it was time to put my toddler down for a nap, we encountered a shocking surprise. When I pulled back the covers to place my son on the bed, I found a towel tucked between the sheets with a small brown spot on it. Initially, I thought it was a bug, but to my horror, it turned out to be someone else's feces.I tried calling housekeeping and customer service, but no one answered for an hour. I then went back to the front desk to report the issue, and they simply said they would contact housekeeping without providing any further assistance. I spoke to another manager and showed him pictures, but he also said he would contact housekeeping and that there was nothing else he could do since they were fully booked.Frustrated, my family decided to go eat. We tried the buffet, and the food was overly priced and just edible with limited options dessert was good not going to lie. An hour later, I felt compelled to check if they had cleaned the room, as this was a serious health concern. To my dismay, no one had cleaned it, despite speaking to two managers about the issue. I called again, and they apologized, saying they didn’t know and would send someone to the room. I returned to the front desk and spoke to the manager again, expressing my disbelief that the room still hadn’t been cleaned. He assured me they would send someone right away.Finally, the room was cleaned. The only staff members who were truly lovely during our stay were Sara from the buffet, Deanna from the front desk, and Kayla from Travel. After the fiasco, we checked on daily activities, only to encounter rude individuals at the silent disco—a red-haired lady and her assistant treated us poorly. The following day, a girl at the trick-or-treating trail also spoke to me with an attitude.The only highlight of this trip was seeing my son happy at the waterpark. If that hadn’t been the case, I would have left after the first night..

(Note: I write these reviews in part for my own business clients, for ideas as they travel. I’m a financial planner with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals.)These outlets are currently under construction, which seems needed as some buildings look pretty old. That said, it’s a good size because there are two levels of stores. Most of the typical name brands are here.I’m not sure just how many “bargains” you’ll find since it’s all premium items, but at least it’s not at an offense full price. I can’t really say if this is a family friendly place in terms of being easily accessible for kids in strollers or for elders. There are stairs. The escalators were closed down for repair on one side. I didn’t see an awful lot of handicap parking. It’s a bit hard to maneuver around the parking lot because it gets so packed.Overall, if you have something in mind to buy, you will likely find it here. It was easy to find off the highway! I’m glad I stopped.

Small outlet mall in Pennsylvania. They have a decent amount of stores, but not much food options. You can probably walk the entire mall in about 2 hours.There's no tax on clothing here. The deals are also quite good, as this mall is less busy.

This premium outlet is not setup for easy shopping access. It’s more of a strip mall and hard to get to all your favorite stores. We literally had to drive around from one store to another. They do have a nice selection of premium stores and it’s within minutes from Great Wolf Lodge. Overall if you are in the Poconos area this is a nice shopping destination.

Can always find great deals here. I’m from Toronto and usually stop by here when I drive back and forth from NYC. Parking can be hard to find sometimes but well worth spending a few hours here.Useful tip if you’re from Toronto and are passing by towards the NYC area; leave in the morning around 5-6am from Toronto so you can arrive to this mall by opening time. You can shop without a crowd, get your shopping complete, and get moving. Also make sure to sign up with their facebook pages for additional coupons.

Loved it. A lot of stores. Just have your walking shoes on lol 😆

Great variety of stores, lots of parking and good food trucks! Taste of Brooklyn was amazing

Good place. There are different stores with products from recognized brands, such as Columbia, Adddas, Nike, Puma, guess, polo, Levis. among others. There are several alternatives for food establishments, there are bathrooms and parking. it is possible that it will return.

There are good deals here in some of the stores, especially if you are looking for brands. The place itself is very convenient. It should be noted that the toilet was clean, contrary to some of the reviews here. I assume that they have improved

Loved this outlet ! Not too big and has a nice selection of shops. Its parking is very convenient so you can drive if you want to different zones just to get closer to your preferred stores.

This outlet mall features a range of excellent stores offering great deals. It's less crowded during the week, making it easier to navigate. The food trucks also provide a diverse selection of tasty options.

Really cool outlet eventhough it rained like crazy still enjoyed shopping here. I would highly recommend if your close to the area and like shopping.

The villa was very spacious and nice. I would have done 5 stars but our bedroom was overrun with ladybugs.

From a Canadian tourist travelling to the US, more specifically NYC, we decided to stop here for some shopping… and we did not regret it! Although this outlet is not huge, I was still able to purchase things at a STEAL, because some stores had lots of 50-70% off discounts. Was able to purchase 10+ shirts for less than $70 for no tax at Levi’s. I don’t know how there’s no tax but that was crazy! The area was lively, not too crowded, and there’s more than enough stores for you to get what you need. I was surprised that there was a section in the outlet where you could ascend a floor and shop from above.What I dislike though is the food court. Sure, you’re going there to buy things, but my experience would’ve been better if we’ve had a bigger food court. My other concern is the lack of the more famous store chains, where you can find anywhere else in almost every outlet mall. Although, these are minor concerns, and the outlet isn’t too big, I was pleased with my experience!

Love the Crossings. Have been shopping here for nearly 30 years and have also worked in a few stores here. Something for everyone - your experience will depend on why you’re going and when.If you want a relaxing, quiet shopping experience weekday mornings are excellent.If you’re hunting sales pick any old Hallmark holiday and get there early because these stores sell their best stuff quickly. If the employees don’t set it aside someone who’s there the second something special gets put on the floor will.Sucks that a bunch of people have to keep robbing the stores here. You can tell things have changed over the last 30 years. Demographics. I have never felt unsafe here though and it’s a great day out.

Hi, one of your staff harassed me. We got here to charge our car. The restroom door was open, the lights were on. My father went in to use it. While I was waiting for him outside, this guy comes and screams at me that it is closed. I calmly told him that we didn't know and that I am waiting for my father. He proceeds to take a photo of me without authorization. I ask him why and he just harassed me verbally. He has no right to take my photo. You have horrible staff and he harassed me because he didn't do his job. This is a gross invasion of my privacy and I will be filing an official complaint.

A very nice place to go shopping around the area. Lots of stores and some places to eat. The shopping has a lot of variety (toy stores, jewelry, kitchen, clothes, etc). Open later as well so nice variety in hours and availability.

Let's see.... what DON'T I like about Pocono Premium Outlets? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I am from The Catskills, so I am used to The Woodbury Commons and LOVED IT!!! Until I moved to PA! I am about 10 minutes from The Outlets (thank GOODNESS😅!) and the grounds have everything! From fast food to food chain outfits, footwear, clothes for all occasions and ages/sizes, jewelry, as well as bookstores that sell new AND used books! There are people I speak to who feel The Outlets isn't big enough or have enough wares and services to offer. But as for me? I don't like looking OR feeling lost. Can't wait to grab a few more things for summer. Happy shopping, everyone✌🏾🩷!

It is close to Great Wolf Lodge and was nice! We went to Old Navy, and they had great deals. I really liked it here and everything was easy to find.

PPO is one of Simon Property Group’s three outlet locations in Pennsylvania. We came here on a gloomy, rainy, dark Wednesday afternoon right after Christmas. Still, somehow it was totally packed and people in front of us couldn’t really seem to walk any slower. The vibes are cute, though. They had this giant red wooden beach chair near the center, with a Christmas tree, and some big ornaments on the ground.The actual selection is impressive. As of June 2023, it has 93 stores including Aerie, Bath & Body Works, Claire’s, Crocs, Five Below (and Beyond for budget shoppers), Hot Topic, Nautica, Nike, Under Armor, Polo, Spencer’s, Northface, UGG, and more.Simon is known for their luxury selection of department stores, but they do what they can (which doesn’t seem to be much) to diversify with lower-price stores. The food selection here is pretty poor. We had dinner at a nearby Friendly’s - one of the last standing in Pennsylvania.

Nice hotel. Rooms are a little dated for my liking. Plenty of slots and tables games. Dealers are great. Several restaurants to choose from. I like Guy Fieri’s the best. One gripe is smoking is allowed so if you’re not a fan of second hand this might cause issues.

What a wonderful place to get away! Fresh clean rooms and linen. Great food! The drinks were not strong enough but my husband and I seemed to get pretty tipsy😁 The casino was fun and upbeat, Frank the bartender was very very nice, Stephen the bartender was good at chatting with guest and serving at the same time he knew how to multi task well. The pool room was so much fun! Our server Abby was so sweet and made sure every guest was comfortable and was there to serve us with whatever any of us needed, she kept clean towels out and made sure the pool area was always clean. Valet was very very kind to us and had very good welcoming skills. We are definitely going back!

This was my first visit to Mount Airy Casino Resort. Tyler at the front desk was wonderful as he checked us in for the night. Everyone in the hotel was so friendly. Rooms were very clean & nicely designed & furnished. Looking forward to coming back soon.

So disappointed. I got to the casino & the entire floor smelled so strong of cigarettes. There is only one casino floor so there’s no way to properly separate the smoking areas from the non smoking area. The non smoking area had the oldest machines, only a few newer machines which forces you into the smoking area. The whole place smells awful. I had to leave because it was giving me a headache. I can’t believe this is even allowed. People should have to step outside to smoke if they need to. Second hand smoking is worse than smoking itself. My clothes & hair reek of cigarettes after leaving. Never coming back.Oh & their ginger ale tastes like toilet water.

We were going to go to the Poconos for our Honeymoon. It didn't work out. 33 years later, my wife booked this place as part of our East Coast Anniversary Trip. I was not disappointed. This place was top notch clean and tidy. We aren't gamblers, but we did have a couples massage. Everyone made our stay very enjoyable. We ate several times at Guy Fieri's and had great food and conversation. Shout out to Trinity who gave us great advice on outdoor sightseeing and waterfalls. Her "lookalike sister" (not really sister) also gave us advice.

Went for the day to play in the casino. It was very nice. Extremely clean with great table minimums. Ten and fifteen for roulette and craps. We ate at Guy Fieri's, which was great. There is a very good selection of new slots and enough of the older kind too. The staff throughout was very friendly and easy to get, if you needed them. We will definitely go back and try the hotel on the next trip. I met my son and sister to play craps and roulette..My wife especially likes the video roulette with the live dealer..Planning another group trip in October.

Decent place for a weekend getaway. Pool is beautiful but definitely not the 84 degrees the lady at the front desk said the temperature of the water would be. Restaurants were pretty decent. But also a few in the area If you’d rather eat outside. Appreciated the free valet parking. Could use a bit more modern entertainment. Overall 6/10

Stayed at the Resort recently August 2024. I don't golf or gamble so perhaps this wasn't the place for me. I came to relax at the pool and enjoy the natural beauty and quiet and have a few good meals. However, the resort is very focused on the INSIDE. There is nowhere to sit outside (except in the pool area), no sidewalks. To get from parking to the front desk you have to walk a long distance inside and through the smoky casino, if you walk the short distance outside you risk being rundown by speeding motorists. Even the hiking trail which is supposed to be onsite is down a street with no sidewalks! Bring your walking shoes! My room was down a very long hallway with a view of a roof and no view of the scenery. Otherwise it was fairly comfortable and clean. I asked to be moved but was refused. The pool looks beautiful in pictures but was very dirty. The woman who was bartender there was absolutely fantastic. The other employees I engaged with were not very helpful. The food was so-so. The second night I went elsewhere after having two unsatisfactory meals. There is no bar to hang out in except the central bar in the casino. And finally the place is really focused on pulling as much money from you as possible. The coffee maker in my room was dirty so I spent $7 on a cup of tea each day at a Starbuck that was on the other side of the hotel. I got charged for items I didn't use at the minibar. Renting a movie is $20 for things that I could rent elsewhere for free or low price. Overall, I would not stay here again.

Came from Canada and had a fantastic time. Restaurants were all really good, casino staff friendly and rooms were greatWe only had 2 slight complaints.1) casino could possibly be set up better for non smokers. Very minot complain but it was hard to get through certain spits without getting a face of smoke and the only signs were on the machine.2) the bartender at the pool Friday afternoon was very unfriendly. Seemed annoyed I was ordering drinks. Had a scowling look on her face the entire time. Definitely didn't go back for a second drink. Kind of bummed out the entire experience at the pool.Overall though we will be back. Great time.

Great location, friendly staff, and beautiful rooms!However, refrigerators in your room are not applicable unless you pay per night. No microwave or laundry services are on the premises either. That made us a little sad, lolMost of the attractions are within 10 minutes. We appreciated the free valet services, and the drivers were personable.Great local food choices nearby, and the pool was beautiful!I wished the Casino was smoke-free, but I understand that some people love to smoke.We will be back and thank you, Mt. Airy Resort and to all of the staff, we tipped as much as we could :)

Went for the day to play in the casino. It was very nice. Extremely clean with great table minimums. Five dollars for carnival card games mostly. Ten and fifteen for roulette and craps. We ate at Guy Fieri's, which was great. There is a very good selection of new slots and enough of the older kind too. We also purchased a few snacks from the convenience store, which surprisingly was not overpriced. Had coffee from their shop, also good. The staff throughout was very friendly and easy to get, if you needed them. We will definitely go back and try the hotel on the next trip. Husband won on slots, I lost, won a little on table games. The dealers are very nice.

My fiance and i had a fabulous time!. I was there for a vacation and it was my first time staying a few days. We tried all of the restaurants in the hotel and were quite pleased. The pizza place was yummy and the personal pies were great!. I had a steak and my fiance had salmon at the steak house. We also gambled and it was fun!. All of the staff were nice. We didn't play golf but our view of the golf area looked well manicured!. Yes!, we will go back!!!

We came to the Poconos for our annual guys golf trip. We loved the Mt Airy golf course! Beautiful and very challenging. We spent two nights at the casino and everyone was friendly and we had a great time. (though we all left losers!)

We came for our on year anniversary trip and had a great time. We did a pool day, spa day, and golfing day and all employees at each location were extremely nice. The casino was fun, most dealers made us laugh and we enjoyed all the restaurants. Over all it was a relaxing and great first anniversary trip. There was one issue at the end of our trip that has since been resolved related to not being reminded of the perks of the package we booked which resulted in us “missing out” on them. I understand mistakes happen but I do wish it could have been resolved before we left instead of days later, which is the reasoning for the 4 stars instead of 5.

Tip-top experience! Rooms were spotless. Bedding clean and super comfy. I slept like a rock. Dining options were plentiful and 24 hours. Conveniently located near lots of activities. We will be back.

Just went to the casino didn't stay in resort. We thought about it but PA allows smoking in their casinos. This place is beautiful, but stinks like a 70s bar. Glad I live in Ohio! We don't allow that crap in our state.

Stayed for one night just to play the outstanding golf course. Did not visit the casino. Room was clean and everything in working order. check in and out very easy. Staff courteous. Highly recommend and will visit again next year to play again a couple of rounds at the golf course.

Had such a great time here! From the reasonably priced buffet to the lucky slots. (Try out Cha-Ching) I won 492 dollars left with 3 the drink servers came around frequently and it wasn't super crowded. Highly recommend

Had a very fun time during our stay. Met a gentleman at the desk named Rocco. He was serving a very difficult customer with professional and grace even though the customer was irate. I was his next customer and he didn’t miss a beat with giving me great service as if the previous customer was never there. That is a holy grail experience when that happens. Later, when the desk was caught up, Rocco saw my wife and I waiting by the luggage pickup desk and came over and personally got our luggage and took it to our room. What service by Rocco!!A few other points for others to know about this resort: Apparently it is not 21+ after all. We saw about 12 kids check in while waiting for our room. Also, the entire casino floor smells strongly of cigarette smoke. It is said to be only one section but I am in the buffet right now and feel like someone is smoking in the booth next to me.Buffet was the best casino buffet we have had as far as flavor and quality. Guy’s breakfast food was great as well!

My cousin and I went to the casino for my birthday and we had a good time. Unfortunately, the resort was completely booked out of rooms, so we couldn't stay as intended.We wanted to reserve a room ahead of time but we couldn't become a "players club" member until we went there in person. Had we been able to do that online ahead of time, we probably could have booked a room and stayed.

First time in many years. No more heart shaped tubs, giant champagne glass tubs, or in room pools. Instead it's upscale with a casino and finer dining options. I miss the cheesy fun of the old Mt. Airy, but the new stuff is def worth the visit, especially when you win in the casino 😁. The best thing about both the old style and the new - it's all about fun !!

Great food but a little pricey. My only complaint is their slot machines start at five dollars. Not my cup of tea. Way too expensive for my taste. I play for fun, not to try to get rich. BUT, if you want to gamble and enjoy great food I highly recommend this casino.

So on our way from Virginia to Boston to see the Foo Fighters… already a perfect trip. But in our mid to later years we don’t travel all the way in one shot. So we pick little adventures. Found one!!!Not crazy expensive, valet parking, check in was a little slow but it was a Thursday at 5pm and 2 counter people…The room… amazing and the bed crazy comfortable. A separate room in the bathroom for the toilet, wonderful shower, well stocked fridge (not cheap).Several restaurants, the pool is amazing and my wife and I just kept swimming through the inside outside water entrance.The staff was polite and since we never gamble, and we don’t know how, security was nice enough to show us what to do.We already book a night for the return trip. More photos to come.

Beautiful rooms (watch for special rates!), terrific room service (breakfast was especially nice), pool and spa were pleasant but crowded. The casino was clean, a bit smoky, many restaurants but not a lot of places to people watch without sitting at a machine. One large bar (bartenders were disappointingly slow) and free drinks on the floor were practically non-existent. Slots were nice and a bit loose so we won more than we played in 48 hours. Would def come back, stay a few days and enjoy the grounds.

Amazing tour!! So glad we finally booked one! The animals are well cared for and healthy and the living environments for the wolves look totally appropriate. No beaten down grass and fake plants like you would see in the zoo! I always feel bad when I go to a zoo, but I left this place feeling educated, and warm and fuzzy about their efforts for wolf conservation as a whole as well as the beautiful animals they care for.We would absolutely come back and walk through the same tour!! I would actually love to come back in the winter and see the wolves in their full regalia of thick fur coats!We visited at the end of August, this was the grand finale to our Worthington State Park Camping Trip. We actually planned our camping nights around the opportunity to visit Lakota Wolf Preserve, and we booked the reservation more than a month out.We were considering staying at Camp Taylor to be close to the wolves, but I'm happy we stayed at Worthington State Park campground along the Delaware instead. It would have been fun to hear the wolves at night, but if you are looking for a little privacy you should know the Camp Taylor sites are all out in the open along the road and there is no privacy between the sites.Looking forward to coming back again soon to witness and contribute to this great cause again!

A warm, educational experience that is totally worth the money! First of all, kudos to the husband and wife who are taking care of all the animals so well. You could see that the animals were happy and very attached to them. I got to learn so much about wolves, bobcats, foxes and lynx. We purchased the tickets in advance online, $15 each. There is a parking lot once you reach and you can either walk to the main preserve area or take their van. We decided to walk and were rewarded with some beautiful views (lakes, streams) on the way. This tour is mainly to learn and observe these animals so it is best to set our expectations accordingly. It does get cold and chilly after some time (we visited in December) so please dress warm.

Very worthwhile and educational place! It’s a beautiful setting in wooded mountains perfect for hiking and camping and the preserve boasts other animals as well such as bobcats and lynx. The very knowledgable tour guides/owners introduce you to the animals and talk about their mission. Though not quite what I was expecting - which was more of a safari-like experience- it’s rather a true refuge for these amazing animals that have been neglected or are injured or ill and would otherwise probably not survive in the wild. The owners built and manage the preserve out of their own pockets and rely almost entirely on money from private donations and these public tours! So go! Recommended.

absolutely loved everything about it, amazing environment and a lovely experience. :) The workers were all extremely nice and the other guests werd great as well. No complaints ,,:) my favorite was the little bobcat :) he was cute

Wow what an awesome experience!!! I always knew it was close by and always wanted to go and am so happy we did!!! The owners are so nice and give a wonderful experience for everyone to learn about their wolves ( bobcat, lynx and foxes too). Definitely plan a trip to visit.

We were almost shocked to find this place in New Jersey! Away from the hustle and bustle of New Jersey, this is a private reserve for about 14-16 grey wolves located in a remote hilltop. For protection, both visitors and wolves, all wolves are enclosed behind chain linked fences. However, you can get a very close encounter with these amazing creatures. The owners does a great job narrating the habits and origins of these wolves, and also dispel many of the myths as well. These wolves appears to be well kept, and properly maintained.To visit, you'll need to make a reservation online, and pay the fee. Plenty of parking available once you arrive at the preserve. You can take a 10 min hike to the where the wolves are kept, or take their shuttle. Overall, a very different type of attraction to visit if you're in the Stroudsburg area.

What a fantastic place! Very informative, wolves are obviously well cared for. Owners are wonderful and really love all the animals at the preserve. The walk isn't bad, even if disabled (I use a cane, and it's not too hard)

We visited the Preserve today. The owners give a wonderful presentation of the Wolves, Bobcat, Lynx and Foxes at the Preserve. This is a great place to visit. The animals there are really cared for. You can tell how much the owners love each of them. I definitely recommend a visit.

We had a great time here. You can take a shuttle or hike up the hill to the wolves. There are several wolf packs, a lynx, bobcat, and some red foxes. The tour was extremely informational and interesting. While we were looking at the foxes, all the wolves started howling for dinner. It was very cool.

Incredible place, a must see attraction. This preserve is a true labor of love and passion for wolf preservation. It's affordable, highly educational, and people of all ages will enjoy seeing these beautiful and majestic animals from up close in complete safety, for us and for the wolves. The preserve is co-located at a campground, so you can combine the two, but you need to buy tickets for the tour, which is really worth it. There's double-fencing for the wolf enclosures, and it's totally understandable, for us and for the wolves. Yes, it means all your photos will include fencing, but it's OK and takes nothing away from the live experience. I learned a lot from this tour and my kids absolutely loved it. Warning: Not many food options in the area. I would recommend The Log Cabin, less than 10 mins away. Be sure to reserve tickets in advance, and arrive to the preserve about 30 mins ahead.

I had a great experience with my family and a nice hike on a lovely summer day. We booked in advance like suggested and had zero problems with the staff or of the facilities because we are grown mature adults(unlike all the negative reviewers). The staff are intelligent and passionate about what they do and I have the up most respect for them. Very informative, educational and good trip for families. Sassa pulled at my heart strings

Interesting tour with the couple who manages the preserve. They shared so much information and the history of the preserve. It was fascinating and their love for the animals was evident. Of course the wolves are kept behind chain length fences (they are wild animals ya know) but the wolves have several acres to roam as they wish. When there are tours they will come right over to the fence (because they get snacks). They also have bobcat, lynx, and red fox in addition to the wolves. I would definitely recommend this. Note: They do not allow pets though. So you’d need your leave any pets at home.

It was such a wonderful experience. Jim & his wife have created such a beautiful area for the wolves, bob cat and lynx. Very educational and well kept reserve. Please do visit them and support them. We drove up 2.5 hours to visit the preserve and it was worth it.

My husband and I went this last weekend to the adults only tour and it was truly incredible! The wolves were absolutely beautiful. It was such a treat to see so many beautiful creatures looking happy, well taken care of and just loving life.

You like Wolves, Foxes, a LinX, and Bobcat? Then get yourself here! All the animals came out for you to see and you are close enough to really take in their beauty. The owners/care takers were very informative and you can really see that they love and take care of the animals. You can walk to the animal area (15-30 min) or take the shuttles. Bring water with you. And if you bring the little ones, please mind them and be respectful to the animals and other guests!

An amazing experience with some of the most incredible animals. These wolves were all born in captivity, which is one of the only reasons we get to see them. One of the other reasons is because of the dedicated stewardship of the owners Jim and Becky. The campground where the preserve is located, apparently has a lot of land that they haven't developed fully, up behind the grounds. This is where the preserve owners rent the 10 acres where they give these wolves a home. They are separated into the 4 different areas (5 actually if you count the aging wolves area). And each has a different type of wolf (Timber, Artic, etc.). They're really beautiful and the owners are knowledgeable and charismatic speakers.

I went to the Lakota Wolf Preserve for my birthday and had a wonderful experience! You never realize how magnificent and special these beings are until you see them in person. Hearing them howl in unison is awesome!The owner, who leads the tour, is very knowledgeable and informative, and I enjoyed learning from him. In addition, it's amazing how he (sadly, I forger his name) has dedicated his life to caring for the various packs as well as the lynx, fox and other animals that live there. The hard work, time commitment and resources that goes in to maintaining the preserve....it's not an easy job. Therefore, it's a no-brainer for me to support their efforts moving forward.Overall, I highly recommend taking a trip to visit, whether you are into wildlife or not...it's an experience you won't forget!

This is a family run reserve, with the opportunity to be close to such magnificent creatures. You can see the passion of how they care about all animals. Really knowledgeable. We learned a lot about wild life in the North East USA. Looking forward to booking a photo tour in the winter.

First off, shame on the negative reviews for such a dedicated place to an endangered species. You belong home with the kids.Second off: BEAUTIFUL tour and Guides of such amazing creatures. Your heart will melt when you see Sassa and learn her history. You also get to see two special Bobcats and Foxes. Highly recommend sneakers though. They do state that on their website but I saw a few people wear regular sandals and I don’t know how they were able to walk up to the Preserve. They offer a shuttle bus if you don’t want to hike. This is an adult friendly NOT kid friendly place. Which makes this tour even better. Definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic experience, entertaining and informative. We followed the very simple instructions which were provided multiple times and had a wonderful afternoon. Jim, Becky and the other staffers we encountered were knowledgeable, funny and kind. Their dedication to the welfare of these endangered animals shines through in their stories and the way the animals respond to them. Unlike the lethargic residents of most zoos, the wolves, foxes and bobcats seemed alert and glad for company and clearly know and trust their humans.Advice: Wear good hiking shoes and bug spray. Use the very clean bathrooms provided by the campground before the tour starts. Take the (free) bus up the hill if you are not in great shape as it is a serious climb from the parking lot. If you have kids do not expect the tour to be about them (although the staff were engaging and the kids on our tour were great).ACCESSIBILITY: There is very limited infrastructure (because you're in the middle of the woods) but there are places to sit in the shade and a portable toilet if you need it. Narrations are not amplified so if you have hearing difficulties you may want to let the staff know and try to stick close to them.Although the bathrooms and the van were ADA-compliant I would think twice about going on this tour as a wheelchair user unless you/your companion are very strong because the ground is not level, no paved paths, etc. The owners are very honest/clear about the limitations on the web site.I have to laugh at some of the complaints in negative reviews, all of which amount to "why can't the rules be changed for me because I didn't bother to read any of the instructions?" The relationship with their landlords (the campground) is explained clearly and everything about the visit was exactly as described.I am not sure the main character who described the animals as being in "a kennel" was expecting... did you think you'd be in the enclosure with them and get to watch them bringing down live prey? Yes there are fences because they are WILD ANIMALS and they don't know and trust you. The primary function of this place is to give these endangered creatures, who were born in (mostly illegal) captivity a safe place to live as closely to a natural life as is possible. The tours help pay for their care, but it is not a zoo or a circus.

Absolutely amazing small zoo, Had a wonderful time taking my two granddaughters there, my granddaughter had such fun feeding all the animals, her favorite was Jethro!!! Definitely will be making more visits. It's not only a place for kids but adults can have fun there also. The only downside is the rocky pathways through most of the area, if you have an all terrain stroller that's highly recommend.

Cute animal park! The drive there was a bit of surprise. Lots of back roads and in the middle of nowhere. There was no cell service in the area and that was unfortunate!The animals looked well taken care of, in my opinion. It was a fun time!

I've been to claws n paws a handful of times now, and ive always left happy. My only complaint is that they won't let me pet the panthers or wolves /s. Their admittance is a little high but I think it's worth while. This latest visit I'm pretty sure the Prarie dogs wanted to come home with me, but I resisted the urge! I will absolutely be coming back, I hope I'll have time to bring my niece and nephew when they come to visit in a couple weeks.

Claws and Paws is a hidden gem! We have been coming for a few years now, and just love this place! This time was our first doing the Animal Talk Show, and the gentleman who hosted it, 5/22/24, was so very informative and entertaining. He had all the children enthralled! I don't know who enjoyed it more the children or the adults! We come as a field trip every year for our school and look forward to it each year.

The one star is for the staff. They were friendly, knowledgeable and seemed to care about the animals. That’s where the positivity ended. The animals are kept in small enclosures with very little if anything at all for mental stimulation. Many of the animals appeared really visibly stressed. They also seemed to be heavily medicated. The enclosures don’t really seem entirely safe and it looked fairly easy for an escape if they really tried. Many pacing back and forth to the point where you actually get anxiety just watching them. This place could be great if they had decent habitat space for the animals. It’s cool that you get to essentially hike through the woods but as it is now, this place is a sad example of animal exploitation.

Interesting place nestled in the woods. They have lots of different animals with both fence and plexiglass views. Lots of NYers there. A little pricey at $24.50/person, but was still enjoyable.

Pretty decent little zoo. Had all our favorite small cats and plenty of close up experiences for the kids. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area. Note: If you have mobility issues, some of the paths might be a little too rough as they are packed earth and have some rocks.

Came on opening day with my daughter for the first time ever. She had an amazing time and so many of the animals there were interested in us and interacted with us. They all look super content and well taken care of in my opinion compared to other zoos of similar size that I’ve been to. Saw zookeepers giving some animals their lunch and it was what I could only describe as the most beautiful salad, all different colors of peppers and carrots ontop of a bed of greens. Happy animals. grounds with a natural dirt path throughout. Seriously had more fun here than we had at Turtleback recently and the animals looked way happier too. We will be back soon, I think this place is a gem

This is a great little zoo. There's a lot to see and fun experiences to be had. You can feed a giraffe, tortoises, lorikeets. Also, there's a Dino dig and petting zoo. Definitely a must see.

Save your money and go somewhere else. I wasn’t excepting much going here and it was worse than what I was prepared for. I’ll just say this- it’s not stroller friendly, not much to see, and the animals were not lively or friendly. The camel was spitting at people and looked very troubled, the giraffe swung his neck at a patron and stomped at us, and the lion was getting more nails hammered on his cage for extra security.

Great time spent with the kids. See and interact with a variety of animals. Not too crowded and in a wooded setting. Our two year old loved it

I completely understand the pricing for this place just due to animal care staff pay and the economy. I will say when pulling in you can’t tell that there’s additional parking right away and the tree lines in need of some trimming. I will say everyone was friendly and animals seemed healthy. They’re honest about their rocky pathways definitely not easy for any handicapped but I did see some visitors in wheelchairs. If the pathways could be improved or loose large rocks removed would greatly help. The animals enclosures seemed very bare and rocky and some seemed too small for them. Like I said all animals seemed healthy. Just looks like a work in progress and hope they keep improving.

My fiancee and I had a fabulous time there! Perfect weather, stunning animal and a kind staff. Perfect day trip location.

My daughter went here for a class trip two years ago and has been begging to return since. The tickets were out of our budget, but we were finally able to go yesterday and I really wish we hadn't. A lot of the animals were in very small enclosures, and several were in obvious distress. Most notedly, the fennec foxes who repeatedly ran back and forth while panting, the bears pacing and growling, and the marmosets which ran around their enclosure and jumped at every noise. A lot of the larger animals appeared to be sedated. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the man who led the animal feedings during our visit was very funny and showed a definite love for the animals. Despite that, these animals deserve better.

When I first arrived in the parking lot I was disappointed because it didn't look like much,but after I walked through the gate I changed my mind! They have a nice variety of animals and you can spend a bit of time looking at everything. We really enjoyed the giraffe feeding and the monkeys! I would recommend coming here if you want a nice time being with animals!

Absolutely fabulous! Came to Hamlin, PA for vacation and saw this nearby our Air B&B. Figured we’d bring our 10 year old and 2 year old to it. IT WAS AMAZING! Better than the Bronx Zoo (and we live in New York). Everything is in the shade, it wasn’t crowded and you can get closer to the animals than any other zoo I’ve been to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fun way to enjoy time with family! This park is very kid friendly & features several opportunities for visitors to interact with & feed the animals! However, this park can improve upon making a more dedicated effort to update park buildings, enclosures, & the overall appearance of the grounds. Several enclosures, especially those for the park's larger animals, seem to be on the small side & most of the park's enclosures could use a lot more greenery/vegetation. Although the animals were seemingly well fed & taken care of, enclosure enhancements will dramatically improve this park. Visitors should also note that pathways here are uneven & are not currently stroller, scooter, or wheelchair friendly; plans to improve these pathways should be considered soon. I do give the park credit for keeping the grounds free of litter. Overall, 3 stars for animal diversity & fun family activities, but lacking 5 stars due to the overall display & appearance of park grounds & enclosures.

It was very enjoyable. The zoo is inside a forest, and there is a variety of animals. The Giraffe is very friendly.

This is a nice family-owned zoo located in a woodland habitat. Nice shady walks with healthy animals in a family-friendly environment. The staff is friendly and will tell u about the animals, their names, ages and special stuff about each.

This site felt a little off the beaten path in the Pocono Mtns, but we were able to secure a site that was mostly secluded, and the site beside us was empty. It was clean. Restrooms were pit and private. We were beside a pretty creek. The gravel road running through the sites was particularly loud, children walked the road, and there was a cabin behind us and across a small road that had a great deal of activity, but all was quiet after 10p. There were bear warnings on the website and on the picnic table, and the hostess said her daughter had a black bear walk through her site a couple of years earlier (without disturbing anything), but that was the only sighting she was aware of. It was comfortable for our one night passing through.

Promise Land State Park has been a Columbus Day tradition for my family and I for as long as I can remember. It is one of my favorite places to relax for the weekend. Promise Land State Park offers cozy cabins, beautiful trails and a lake for kayaking and pedal boating. My favorite thing to do at Promise Land State Park, besides have a campfire with smores is stargazing at night at the beach by the lake. One of my favorite restaurants there is the Promise Land Inn, the food is 10/10 and the staff is very friendly! I highly recommend this state park for a romantic getaway or a family vacation!

Loved it except for 1 thing. The spots in Pickerel Point are right on top of each other. If you are looking at that campsite map and you're thinking, they look like they are small and not very private, listen to yourself if that bothers you. My experience validated that suspicion. The second I get there this single guy walks right into my campsite like it's an extension of his and starts bothering me for companionship while I am trying to put up my tent. I feel like there is not enough boundaries between the campsites in that loop. Anyone reading this, please realize that some people do not want company, help, advice. Srsly the best thing about camping up to this point was that people respected your privacy, so this was an exception. Imagine you checked into a hotel and the single person next door walks right into your hotel room when you are trying to unpack, starts giving you advice, sees you drop a pair of your underwear and asks if you need help putting your underwear away and won't take a hint. Then comes back and wants to show you something right when you are working really hard to get your tent up as quickly as possible. Yeah, don't be that guy and or girl. Stay in your own campsite and try to feel people out first before approaching. Believe it or not, some people go camping to get away from the real world and other people to commune with nature, SHOCKING. Please realize that each individual pays for their own site and once they take possession of it, you're trespassing if you go into it. Wait to talk to them when they are out walking, when you pass them, etc. Please know that this is my 7th camping trip this year and this was absolutely the exception. The problem is that the way these campsites are set up, it just invites that feeling of shared community space. Some people want that and if that is you, go get your joy! But that is NOT me, lol. The most relaxing and joyous moment of my trip came when I realized he broke down camp and left. The pictures are of that day, I went on a nice hike up the Falls Trail.

We really liked it here. We stayed in the Rhododendron campground. The sites were good sized, shaded & spaced pretty far apart. Josh, the EES, was great. We attended three of his programs. These were some of the best showers we've experienced in a state park & we've been to quite a few. The Masker Museum is really nice. You can put a lot of miles on a bike but some of the roadways are in very poor condition, particularly the stretch between the park office & the museum. Two lakes nice for kayaking and fishing. Many hiking trails.

For this camping trip, I stayed in a tent at Pickeral Point campground. The site I stayed at was a "walk to" site. What a beautiful site it was! Although the walk in was a fairly steep hill, the effort was well worth it. The site was spacious and close to the water. I did have a raccoon visit my site one night looking for some food. He actually did manage to get in my tent and have a snack or two. I got him out though. I would highly recommend this campground as it is located on a peninsula so ther are alot of sites near the water. I'm looking forward to camping there again.

Quiet day under winter conditions - cold temp in 20's, icy spots in parking lot. Trail was easy to walk no problems with ice. Recommended for walking with your friend or dog.

Very nice clean secluded camp site. Stayed at Pickerel point, which was really nice with great views of sunrise and sunset facing the lake on both sides.Bathrooms were clean, only complaint was not all the bathrooms had hot water, thus subtracting star.Be aware the sites without electric, you will need to park your car in a small lot marked for your reserved campsite and carry your items into the site.Nice trails around the area also!

It was a nice day to spend outside. Kids played in the water which had a safe boundary, 3-4ft deep max, and safe from the boats.It wasn’t super crowded, pet friendly, nearby park for dry play, and bathrooms clean and spacious.My parents went on kayaks while I laid back watching the kids play in the water. Beach was free, kayaks reasonable priced.My only issue was that there was A LOT of dog poop everywhere. I mean, in the grass and in the sand. And you definitely need footwear to wear in the water because the rocks were poking.Overall, I recommend it for your family friendly relaxing beach day here.

This State Park is a beautiful spot that I've been visiting since I was young. The trails are well-maintained and offer a range of difficulty levels, making them great for all types of hikers. However, be prepared for the local wildlife—I've encountered squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, porcupines, deer, and even bears. Also, don't forget to bring bug spray, as the trails can get quite buggy in the summer, and always check for ticks after your hike.The park also offers boat rentals, which my family has enjoyed in the past. Just a tip: make sure your paddle is in good condition—ours broke in the middle of the lake once, which made for an interesting experience! And be aware, the water stays chilly year-round.

My husband and I stayed at this park overnight on 5/6/24 on our way to Canada for the summer. This was a beautiful state park with some hiking trails. The site was large and private and level. We stayed in Beechwood site PT #3 which was huge and would accommodate a much larger RV. We camped in a 35ft fifth-wheel. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. With our senior discount the price was $36 a night.

Cute little trail.Very easy to walk.Some water along side the road.(Not something to jump in)Good with kids.Bring fly spray :) (July hike)

We booked a cabin and camped here, it was super fun. The washrooms were clean and had running hot water as well. There were sinks in the back as well for cleaning dishes.

My family and I have been renting cabins there since 1975. We love love the family atmosphere and the beauty of the park. They have cabins to accommodate everyone whether it be rustic for the more modern type, even cabins that allow pets. Plenty of activities. Swimming, hiking, boats, fishing

This place is incredible! I recommend for a romantic or family getaway. The park is humongous and connects to several towns. We rented a cabin for the weekend and we’re able to bring our dogs. Lots of hiking trails, nearby rivers and streams and surrounding towns to visit. We barely scratched the surface during our visit. I would bring all necessities, including food, with you. There aren’t many stores to shop from.

Took the kids swimming for the afternoon. Nice lake.. not overly populated. No lifeguard so keep that in mind. Dog friendly . Clean porta pottys. Playground on site. Picnic tables and spots to grill. Definitely will be going again.

Promised Land State Park is a very peaceful park in the Pocono area. It has beautiful sights, especially in the Autumn season with the changing of the leaves colors! There is a camping section and restrooms available. They also have a pavilion, playground, beach area, and a few courts. Promised Land State Park is a beautiful area for walking/hiking, swimming, boating, and kayaking. I would recommend checking out Promised Land Stat Park if you are in the Pikes County/Pocono Mountains area.

Mamma Bears Concessions at the park is a great addition. Love the park for all it's amenities, and now delicious food with great prices makes this a summer must!

Nice serene place with helpful staff.Power boats are actually with battery powered few horse power motors, so very slow.Still had good time with family and good memories.

Beautiful large lake with lots of hiking trails, small beach area, kayak/boat rentals, food stand, and general festive atmosphere! The water was so blue!!

Staying in the rustic cabin is my favourite part of summer vacation.Promise land State Park is beautiful and clean. I recommend this place for people who enjoy nature.

Such a beautiful place to visit! Lots of steps, especially when walking back up to exit but makes for an amazing workout. Went on a Monday in early November and it was not super crowded. Lack of rain over the past month made the falls less abundant but still beautiful to see in person. Would visit again in the future, there is currently a $20 per person cover fee to enter the falls.

I thought that if I bought the ticket online, I would be given an electronic ticket, which is different from other places. The scenery is picturesque, but it's very hot.

Beautiful waterfall, very well-built boardwalk and you could easily extend the loop with including the mountain trails. Absolutely family friendly, but VERY CROWDED on the weekends, a little too tourism for me. The food is also mediocre, so deduct a star here.

Always a pleasant experience. The red trail (longest) says it takes anywhere from 2-2.5 hours but if you're moving, you can knock it out in an hour. Did it in an hour today and that was in a torrential downpour, flooded trails, and still stopping to take pics at the falls. Almost turned back when the rain picked up but powered through. Made it more fun and challenging!

One of the more stunning falls to visit. The entry fee will seem high but it’s worth it. If you do the full loop hike that’s where you feel like the value lands more. Certainly a grander view than expected at the main falls but the hike along the stream on the red and blue trails give more serenity and wildlife.

In the middle of October we visited this awesome place. Took the red trail, which is almost 2000 steps. It was really amazing, a little bit hard, but doable!take some water and enjoy the pictures!

Incredible park for anyone to enjoy. Would always recommend visiting the day after heavy rainfall; trails may be a little wet, but the overflowing falls are definitely worth it.

Bushkill Falls is a breathtaking destination for nature lovers and waterfall enthusiasts alike. The trails are well-maintained, winding through scenic views and leading to several beautiful waterfalls—even with lower water flow, the falls were impressive. There's so much to explore, from walking paths to observation points, and the entire area feels thoughtfully designed for visitors. The gift shop is plentiful, offering unique souvenirs, though prices are a bit higher, which is understandable since the property is privately owned. Visiting on a quiet weekday in late October was perfect for a peaceful experience, making it easy to soak in the natural beauty. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area, especially fellow waterfall chasers!

We hiked the longest route right after a rainy day. It actually rained a tiny bit during our hike too. So the waterfalls were massive. Absolutely stunning views and couldn’t recommend more! It’s a bit expensive but def worth it for a small group. Honestly thinking about doing engagement photos here!100% MUST wear sneakers or grippy hiking shoes. Anyone visiting in sandals or flips (there were a few) are absolutely reckless. Some areas can be EXTREMELY slippery and steep.Definitely visit during the off times to avoid crowds and families with kids. Especially if you want to take photos in-front of the falls.

Beautiful trail, beautiful views. I love that they have different trails with varying difficulties for those who are avid hikers and even beginners. The shops they have before the trail are very cute as well. I also love the little museums on-site for those to learn more about the falls.

Great place to enjoy all that nature has to offer. There are different trails with varying degrees of length and difficulty. The red trail is the longest and has the most falls to view. Make sure to bring some water with you to hydrate while you're walking around. There are benches located throughout the trail in case you need a break or just want to take in the views.There's a gift shop and eatery if you need a bite after your hike.

A great hike through the woods. There are several trails of different lengths. I went on the Bridal Veil hike, which is the longest, to get my money’s worth. The waterfalls are the main attraction, and they are decent, nothing really tall or standout. The trail is nice, with wooden bridges and steps weaving around the falls. After seeing a good amount of the falls, the path heads up onto a hill with a forest. Be advised that there are sections with large amounts of stairs. I liked how the trail ran alongside a river, allowing for some scenic views. Apart from the trail, there are some buildings like a trading post and a Native American exhibit, as well as a place to pan for gems. This is a great scenic spot for nature lovers.

Nice waterfalls. Walkways are not very wide, and it was very busy for even the weekday visit. Trails are sporadically labeled. Very confusing map, I suggest just start walking. It's definitely a tourist trap.

Bushkill Falls this series of eight waterfalls is a true natural wonder, perfect for both casual visitors and avid hikers. The main waterfall, a dramatic 100-foot drop, is easily accessible from the entrance, making it a great spot for families and those looking for a quick glimpse of nature’s beauty.The wooden walkways and bridges are well-maintained, providing safe paths through rocky and sometimes steep terrain. The scenery is lush, especially in spring and summer when the greenery is in full bloom, and the falls flow at their fullest after rainfall.Additionally, during peak season, it can get crowded, so if you prefer a quieter experience, early mornings or weekdays are best. Bring sturdy shoes, as parts of the trails can get muddy or slippery, especially after rain.

We visited the place on Friday, July 19, 2024, it is a very cool place to visit, there were not many people, just some school groups, although it did not affect the visit since the place is very large. The wooden paths make it a different and striking place. The trails are very clean and there are benches at certain points to rest and admire the landscape. A very good and pleasant place, the entrance is not very expensive. But it is preferable to bring water bottles since things are somewhat expensive there. Very good place to visit.✌️

On 09/21/24, my friend and I went to Bushkill Falls.It was my first time, and we did the longest trail, "Bridal Veil Falls" - saw all the waterfalls - it was roughly 3 miles in 2 hours & 15 mins (including the many breaks that I took.)I almost fainted - not sure if it was due to how challenging it was (with a lot of steps & incline) or if it was due to not having eaten beforehand.A couple of older women did it, no problem. And a lady stopped by to fan me (due to how much I was sweating - a little embarrassed 😅 because she was approx. twice my age)Would say it is for experienced hikers, DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR FIRST TIMERS - but if you want to challenge yourself, go for it & have plenty of water.It's a beautiful place that I believe would be enjoyed by all nature lovers.

Overall a pleasant experience. Bring bug spray for the mosquitoes, and a definitely a hat to protect from all the caterpillar droppings from the trees above!! There wasn't a lot of people when we went. We went at about 10am. Was very nice and quiet and peaceful. We took the long red trail. It was a great hiking trail like described. Not sure it was worth $20, although I understand it must be expensive to care for the trails. The trails on the stairs were a bit snug. You have to squeeze by if you're passing others. Also I feel there aren't enough resting benches. The bathrooms were clean but, you can only go before you enter or after you leave. When you go, don't forget there is no swimming there. It's a great hike but, the waterfalls weren't that impressive. Took about 2.5hours.

Good hike, only 1 real water fall worth looking at. It's a good trail to walk on with lots of stairs. But it's an enjoyable walk with the family

What an amazing place. The waterfalls were breathtaking and the scenery was so beautiful. Worth the price of admission which is $20 per adult

This is an excellent park to come visit. You can easily view quite a few beautiful and large waterfalls. The trail is very well maintained and an easy walk. There are tons of stairs throughout the hike but there are also different trails you can take depending on how much you want to see. The park currently costs $17 to get in with plenty of parking. Some of the best waterfalls you can see locally.

The waterfalls are amazing! We hiked the longest trail which is 2 1/2 hours, but you will see all eight waterfalls🌊

Great park! My kids love climbing in rocks so this hike was perfect! We were hear for over 3 hrs because of all the climbing we did. This place has picnic tables through out so you can stop for a snack! Beautiful views!

Beautiful hiking place but No trash cans at all.Beautiful place to hike, specially if you're hiking with a group of people with a different level of hiking skills. I don't think it is for advanced hikers but good for Beautiful views and peaceful environment.Pets are allowed and it's easy to maneuver around with dogs.It wasn't crowded when I visited here but I saw many people visiting in the afternoon but that could be mostly dependent on weather.One negative is - Not even a single trash can anywhere, so be prepared to carry everything with you.

Another amazing hiking trail in New Jersey. The trails are all clearly marked and the park is very well maintained. The water attracts the bugs when muggy outside, but to be expected. Just bring some bug spray. Red trail has some rocky terrain at times. Loved it.

Absolutely lovely hiking experience. Trails are decently marked, there were plenty of maps for whoever needs one. Place was very clean, but of course there's some trash here and there because people are slobs. There's picnic tables along the paths so you can rest anywhere.The red path along the river is the longest, but a very nice hike, just wear decent shoes. The rocks can get a bit rough at points, but still not a tough trail at all. The waterfalls are lovely and very scenic, makes for great photos! I'll be going back when the trees fill in, and again in the fall!

If you enjoy walking near a river, this trail provides that and more... slightly rocky near the river but comfortable walk. Many picnic sites and BBQ places...even... River swimming (not allowed)..

We love the Red Trail, which is riverside. It starts out VERY easy but soon becomes a fun scrambling over rocks and roots. Trail is clearly marked, and there are picnic tables along the way. Some nice places to stop and just enjoy the fresh air and scenery. The park labels the trail as moderate, but for us seniors, it's a bit challenging. Wear good shoes and bring a hiking pole(s). Wouldn't recommend taking the Red trail after a rain... it's likely to be slippery, even treacherous. On a nice, dry, Fall day... go enjoy!

I might as well start reviewing my hikes since I'm always going on them! Hacklebarney is a beautiful state park with the Lamington River and Trout Brook lining the beautiful natural walkways that make this park perfect. In the fall, the foliage and splatter of leaves make this both expectionally aesthetic but also a comfortable, great hike.

Gorgeous fall colors and well paved trails. The main trail does have a good bit of rocks

Wonderful hike took the red trail and was very impressed. Felt truly impressed in nature yet not far from society . Went shortly after a week of rain and the falls were epic . I will definitely be going again to this park

Great hike for beginners or anyone who loves hiking along a river with some waterfalls. There are plenty of boulders, so I would recommend wearing proper footwear. Pack a lunch and eat at one of the many picnic tables distributed in various areas. Be prepared to pick out all of your trash. Amazing photos year round, but especially during autumn foliage! Some hills and steps. Lots of rocks to maneuver. The bathroom has always been a nightmare, so I was happy to read that a new bathroom will be constructed for 2025.

This was a great scenic hike along the streams. Much better than I thought. Trails are pretty flat and semi paved. Wear hiking boots if you own a pair. There are picnic tables and some BBQ grills scattered throughout the park. There are also plenty of benches for sitting. No fee when we went today. Bathrooms are closed and there are port a pottys in the parking lot.

My little heaven on Earth. Right in the middle of Jersey. The longest trail can take 1 hour (speed walking) or 4 hours (while stopping for the views).

What a beautiful place to hike! My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed the loop that we did. The trail along the river was especially beautiful and peaceful! There are a variety of trails you can choose combine depending on how long you want to hike, as well as some nice picnic spots near the waterways.

This is one of beautiful park around Bridgewater 30mins drive. It had multiple trails.. we chose red dot trail which is moderate but all the way along River side. There are multiple picnic spots with grill facilities which are very beautiful. Washrooms are at parking locations only which is lacking continuous cleaning. Hiking is easy with other trails. It took 2 hours to complete red trail with normal speed. Water in the river was very cool and clear.

It was a wonderful walk; the magnificent nature of this park is enchanting!!!! These rivers, these waterfalls are superb!!!! There are picnic tables for families!!! We will definitely come back here in the spring!!!

One of the loveliest State parks with a stream running thru it. Absolutely gorgeous in the fall. But a place you can spend hours why time of the year.

Beautiful trail and a great place to hike for beginners. The trail runs along a river , so you can enjoy the breeze. One of my favorite state parks in NJ.

Lovely trails and singular footpaths by rushing water, including a waterfall. Many fisher-people in the morning. Fun walking with some rocky ways. Unfortunately, many of the buildings have been left to rot: it would be nice to see the community or state return the park to its former glory. More than functional, but spots of decay that impress an unfitting austerity for the surrounding community.

I have encountered snake and spider on river side. I have research on internet and found that this place is famous for rattle snakes and black bears. Stay vigilant specially when sitting on rocks at river side.

I used to visit here in the 70's when I was a young lad, it first time back in 45 years and it was even better than I remembered, The diversity of forest and bird species is amazing and the quality of the trout stream is quite good. Can't wait to return

Had one of the best strolls around the park, me and my husband started with the riverside trail and we loved it. The parking is quite near to the trails, beautiful and picturesque riverside guides you along the calming riverside walk with a level of moderate hikes.Will go back again and explore other trails.
