34 Best Stops Between Gettysburg and Scranton (2024)

1 list

Gorgeous park! Beautiful views all over. We visited to play on the Disc Golf courses, and they were alot of fun! It was a really pretty park to explore, and the well spaced, very clean and well stocked bathrooms were a delightful surprise! I really enjoyed the Red course, fun wooded parts and some right by the water too. We will definitely be back to visit again.

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!

My family and I have really enjoyed all of our trips to codorus for summer time drive up camping. There is a lot to do with in the park, nice trails, and even some fishing spots. There is a fair amount of wild life for viewing and good bird watching as well.It does get significantly crowded in the peak season and around the summer holidays, but overall rules are enforced and campers typically do not get rowdy. Like all campgrounds the experience depends on the site you pick. We are tenters so some visits were better than others due to site selection and neighbors. Definitely recommend the “roughing it” sites if you are a renter looking for a quiet more “authentic” experience.

The park is a very large and beautiful park with so many activities to do with yourself or family and friends. On this stay we rented a Yurt inside of the camp grounds. The Yurt was a neat experience, it's in between a tent and a cabin. Had a refrigerator, counter top stove and microwave. It also sleeps up to 5 people. Had an amazing time and will be back to stay again.

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.

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.

Beautiful park with nice hikes to and around the lake. Campsites are not particularly level, some are a little short for long campers. There are plenty of wheelchair accessible facilities and a pet loop at the campground.

I camped here for a night just the other day and it was very beautiful! I also did a lot of fishing and was able to catch lots of bass! It’s definitely a great spot to go fishing and the campsite was very clean when we got I got there. I would definitely recommend camping/fishing here!!

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.

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!

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 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)

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.

Great park with plenty to do. Tons of disc golf and water for the kids to play. Kayaking, boat rentals are avaliable.Very beautiful park. I am upset they really don't have a good playground for the kids... or at least we couldn't find one.

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.

Only visited the park office. Nice displays and helpful info. Nice people available to answer questions. The lake is beautiful. The campground was closed at the time of our visit, and that's what we were hoping to check out, but based on what we saw in general makes it very likely we will return.

I love camping here. Two issues currently...1. The B Loop hosts are not doing their job.When I got to my site there was trash everywhere and the fire pit full of debris. It's NEVER been like this before and I've stayed here enough times to know how it works. The B Loop hosts are responsible for the cleanup of campsites at both A and B Loops. I have yet to see them, which is odd because usually the hosts come and greet/chat with new campers.2. The bathrooms water is currently not great pressure due to the pool being filled. So the pool gets filled every year, why not advise customers of the water issues OR increase the pressure to accommodate your guests? OR keep the campground closed while filling the pool?

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.

Wife and I kayaked here yesterday. Absolutely gorgeous! There are a lot of places to put in at the lake. The water was nice and there was a breeze. I also did some fishing. If you use the right tackle, you could catch a good bit of fish. Fyi: Being that it is a big lake, it was a little choppy, so be prepared if you venture into the deeper parts. If you kayak the edges, you should have a smoother ride. This is definitely on our top spots to kayak and for me to fish. Highly recommend.

Spent a weekend at Codorus State Park with my niece and her two kids. We could put up our tents on the land, rather than a pad, which was nice. Campsite was spacious enough that kids could play Frisbee and badminton. Bathhouse was clean enough. We found the playground on a short walk. We were in loop c. Didn't see the "fun police" as another reviewer claimed. Had a great time.

Great disc golf course, use Udisc to find your way around. Played the blue and red courses, both are fun in their own way. Only hole I didn't like was on the red course because it is basically an island in the middle of a parking lot. We played early right after Christmas so the lot was empty, which was good because I would have drilled a couple of cars otherwise. Would absolutely skip that hole on a busy day and would consider moving it since they had room elsewhere.

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.

It’s a nice place for family visit for ice creams.Ice creams are very tasty and yummy 😋For kids they can see cows and calf’s, also there is a little maze in their corn field for kids to play and this is the top notch for kids & they will like it.Location wise it’s very good scenery and calm, you can feel the pleasant here…

Great ice cream, and the baby cows are so adorable! The kiddos get to pet the baby cows and see the adult ones as well. Nice area outside to sit down some tables with shade. Natural hand made things inside and you can buy their fresh made ice cream to bring home too <3 love this place

The farm is a pretty typical diary farm. What really makes this place a great stop along the way is the shop where they sell fantastic baked goods, milk and cheese products and ice cream. All VERY GOOD!

Located not too far south of York, this is worth the drive! The milkshakes and ice cream are amazing. The small farm store has a plethora of fresh baked goods, sandwiches, milk (of course), juices, and sweets.All of the staff were so nice and helpful. The site also has two port-a-loo toilets located adjacent to the car park.

Our first time there. We got a few baked goods and icecream. We recommend the chocolate mint chip and also the blueberry cheesecake. So smooth and creamy and yummy. Not overly sweet. The waffle bowl and cone are great too

My kids, as well as myself love coming here they buy far have the best ice cream with lots of different favorites to choose from and the kids always love seeing and petting the cows we came just at the right time as we got to see the cows eat, and some babies that were just recently born. They also have a little store inside that you can also buy milk, candies, and lots of other goodies. There are picnic tables outside, and a little handwashing station outside as well.

By far the best ice cream in the area. It's creamy and tastes extremely fresh. Definitely worth the stop if you're close by.

Always delicious farm fresh milk and ice cream! The flavored milk is really good, especially the peanut butter! Inside there is a store that has a variety of baked good and milk products. Kids have a blast here! You can let them see and pet baby calves!

Perrydell makes the best chocolate milk ever. It’s like melted chocolate ice cream. When I learned that they had a store nearby that sells ice cream and milk, my family and I went. Their chocolate ice cream is superb, AND they have the baby calves in little pens out back. You can go and pet them. I love it, and our toddler does too. The calves are very cute. Sometimes they’ll lick your hand, or sometimes they’ll try to nibble on a kid’s shirt. They’re quite endearing, and it’s a good time. Heads up if you go- you have to order and pick up ice cream outside of the store. You can buy pints and such inside the store though. (Also you can see the flavors they have available inside.) It can be a little slow, but it’s worth the wait.

It was great we seen baby cows and had some ice cream and walked thru the shop they have there it was a fun experience

Cute little farm where you get to pet the sweet calves & enjoy some ice cream. They even had a fun corn maze for the kids. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.

Ice cream is so yummy! The products are good! Very nice for family and kid hang out!

What is there not to like about Perrydell. From shakes, to treats to different flavors of milk, you will find something you can enjoy and take with you.During the warmer months you can enjoy the sight of some farm animals, while entertaining conversations with others as you enjoy your purchase from Perrydell.

Sooo many flavors of ice cream! We got Peeps flavored. You can buy pints of lots of interesting flavors.

Stopped by since they are featured on the ice cream trail! Part of a farm they have a small store. We had various purchases and wanted to try their ice cream we were told we had to order and then wait outside. One in our group asked for a certain flavor milkshake, we were told they were out but the flavor was in the case. He ended up with a mint chocolate chip that was so strong of mint it did not taste good at all. The staff was not friendly and seemed annoyed to be there. I can give everything else a pass until the customer service fails. Outside they have very few picnic tables for the amount of customers. On the plus side the blueberry cheesecake ice cream was delicious but unfortunately not enough to bring us back.

Ice cream is always fresh and delicious. The gift shop is nice and has some unique items. The main draw if you have kids is the cows. You can pet most of them and see the milking process. It's pretty neat

I have tasted their milk multiple times in the past and I know that my son loves their chocolate milk. I just never knew where it was located. So the wife and I were looking for new ice cream places to visit and this place popped up on my maps. So we visited. It was a good time. Nice little grocery store with farm-type of items, ice cream shop, and, of course, dairy products. Staff were pleasant. You can walk about the farm on a self-guided tour and just was a nice trip.

This place has the largest ice cream cones! I couldn’t even finish the double scoop of ice cream that I ordered. The apple cheesecake flavor-of-the-month was quite sweet; however, it was still delicious.Unfortunately, the staff will only let you sample the flavor-of-the-month. On the bright side, the flavor-of-the-month is discounted 25 cents a scoop.This place is great for kids. The farm has a window where you can watch cows being milked. If your visit coincides with the farmers feeding their roughly 40 calves, you will be in for a real treat!

Stopped here while visiting the area. They have several calves in enclosures if you are inclined to pet a cow. It’s a working farm so no tours or information so you are left to wonder around. The ice cream was delicious and the store had a lot of fresh dairy products to try.

Delicious ice cream with all the richness you would expect from being made on-site at a long standing dairy farm!Blueberry and butter brickle were especially good. They don’t allow sampling though fyi. There’s limited outdoor seating, and even less that’s in the shade. Porta potty only.Best of all, go check out the cows and calves right behind the store.

Great ice cream and a good experience for everyone.

Very interesting place. A store with many food items to purchase and counters but you have to go outside to order and pickup. I've never seen that before. Peach ice cream was yummy and worth every calorie. I drove 2 hours and this was my first stop when arriving in York.

Great old school park.

Great setup b to watch a ballgame at a small park. Game was exciting, concessions were good and the seats were perfect. Also, easy parking for a family with a child in a wheelchair. Highly recommended!

I love this park! I love the Revs! Our family has a great time whenever we attend.

One of my favorite pastimes is coming to check out a revolutions game! There's not a bad seat in the house although if I'm going to recommend to you you want to be in rows 18 19 20 to stay out of the Sun if you're on the first base side you will be in direct sunlight it's also great to catch a game that has fireworks afterwards you can't miss out

Great place for family fun!. Very friendly and accommodating staff.. The place is kept immaculate..Many great food and beverage options... You won't be disappointed

Watched a great York Revolution game and enjoyed the perfect weather for evening baseball. Lots of activities between innings to keep you entertained. Food was a bit pricey, but tasty.

At best there's about 150 parking spaces at this park for the 7500 seats available. You have to go find a parking space in the barrio surrounding this park. My wife & I absolutely LOVE baseball and we used to have season tickets at Angels Stadium in Anaheim when we lived in SoCal, but there's no way that we're going to attend games at WellSpan Park and be required to walk through the ghetto at night to try and find our car.

Nice ballyard. Reasonably priced family entertainment and a good product on the field.

Fun family place! Price is right for a ball game. Great beer and food selections. The park is beautiful and well maintained. It was May 4th hence the dark lord. Stop by when in town. Buy tickets right off your phone!

Our team had a great experience here holding a company event at the BudLight Bullpen Balcony! The team had a blast. Kenton did an awesome job helping us pick the right spot at the park for the event, and our bartender and servers were so kind. Highly recommend!

Nice ballpark. The food was good and there was a nice variety of items. Love the funnel cake.The only reason I gave 4 stars was the parking... if you don't have a handicap plate or placard you must park in a lot a good distance away and you have to pay $6! They do have a shuttle bus that runs between the lot and the ballpark but that is annoying at the end of the game to wait for a ride to the lot.

Line's for concessions are ridiculous. But the park and atmosphere are great.

Memorial day date. What's more American then baseball game? Plus the Revs pulled out a win in the 9th. My wife loved going her first time.

Good times had. Great game to watch. Even have clean bathrooms! $3.50 for a bottle of Aquafina is a bit much. Buts definitely fun and surprisingly clean!

After many trips to the Rev's, Our first trip to the 1741 Club. OUTSTANDING ! Great food and drink. Super staff. Best seats in the house. Very well kept facility. In our opinion a SUPER VALUE. Can't wait to do it again.

Every day is a great day for a ball game, but especially a York Revolution game! This is my favorite part of summer. Bathrooms are always clean, the staff is great, and prices are a lot more reasonable than other sports events. Downtown is the best mascot in the universe too, in case you didn’t know. Go Revs!!

We had the opportunity/honor to visit the Pennsylvania State Capitol in JUL_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about PA's history and legacy.We did a plant tour and for sure it's a remarkable building.Definitely, it'sa place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

A friend of ours who used to work at the State Museum took us to the Capitol for a tour last Saturday (4/2). Glad that we went, since it turned out to be more spectacular than we had imagined. Saw the dome, reception area, House of Representatives, the Senate and the Supreme Court chambers and was blown away! The tour guide has been doing the tour gig for 23 years and certainly knew her stuff. Would love to go back during the week, when other areas are opened. If you get the chance to take a tour, which is free, do so. You need to call the Capitol for a booking.

Fantastic place for it’s architecture and history.You do need your book a spot but they don’t seem to check. This is a free tour. The guide is really good as he walks you through the different floors explaining the history.There is paid parking near by.Highly recommmended.

Definitely worth booking the tour online on the website,tour guide was phenomenal and was about 45min in length. Recommend visiting the gift shop on the fifth floor and be sure to take a look at the tiles made by Henry Mercer in the grand Rotunda beautiful and breathtaking experience. Strongly recommend at least going once on your life.

The Pennsylvania State Capitol Building is an absolute must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. From the moment you step inside the grand entrance hall, you'll be in awe of the building's stunning design and attention to detail. The interior is beautifully decorated with marble, mosaics, and gold leaf, and the Rotunda is particularly breathtaking.If you happen to be in the vicinity of Harrisburg, I suggest you take advantage of the opportunity to visit this place free of charge.

Great day to visit my home states capital building. It is a holiday and we arrived 20 minutes before they closed the building. But we enjoyed seeing the part of the building that is open to us. Beautiful. A tour at a later date is likely.

Pretty cool place to visit! Need to schedule the tour during the weekend, cause the place is considered closed during the weekend. But feel free to visit during the weekdays. Free admission! And it's easier to just park on the street.

Hands down the most awesome capital building I've been in yet. Well, it rivals New Yorks. The staircase is stunning as well as the rotunda. The House and Senate chambers blew my mind. I'd love to sit in on one. The light fixtures were amazing. The fountain out front also makes this capital building special. I'd visit again if I make it to Harrisburg again.

One of the most beautiful state capitol. The capitol building and surrounding architectures also are very beautiful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of PA and the capitol building in particular.

Amazingly beautiful architecture and art work! Definitely look online and book the free tour in advance! The tour guide was great, talked about the history, art work and meanings behind how things came to be. Visited the rotunda, house and Senate chambers, as well the supreme court. Highly recommend the tour!

We did a guided tour with the school that I work for. The tour is definitely geared towards high schoolers and adults. Our guide was very detailed and knowledgeable about the building. If you are interested in stained glass, murals, architecture, light fixtures, or just beautiful, ornate buildings this is the tour for you. If you want to get a lot out of your visit, plan with your local representative to meet them in person. You may want to come on a day that is in session so you can see our government at work!

Beautiful State Capitol building! Although if you visit during the weekend, there is not much to see other than the exterior and the rotunda inside. Cool architecture. Street parking is mostly free in Downtown Harrisburg, and there were plenty of available spots when I was driving around the area. Definitely recommended!

A lot of people in the States seem to rate Pennsylvania’s state capitol as the most beautiful. It’s certainly very elegant outside, especially from the fountain side, although I found the decoration inside too heavy. The tour, however, was excellent, done at a brisk pace but full of information by an engaging and knowledgeable guide, and there was plenty of literature about the building and Pennsylvania that we were encouraged to take away. Only potential problem is that the website for booking tours doesn’t work outside the States, so I had to get a U.S. friend to book it for me - worth knowing for other overseas visitors as you can only enter on a tour on weekends and holidays, and the tours are in any case worth doing.

Very well maintained historic architectural complex. Watch the steps for demonstrations. There is convenient parking around.

I really enjoyed this place. I took a walk around the ground. The historic buildings are a must to see if you go to Harrisburg. It was clean and safe. I would definitely recommend this place.

Quite a beautiful building with a lot of art, culture and history…Being free to visit, it’s a great place to stop by.

Definitely one of the best state houses in the United States! The tour of the Capitol building lasted about 30 minutes. On it you get to see the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Senate, and Supreme Court.All of the rooms on the tour are beautiful. The lunettes in the arches of the rotunda are spectacular. The chandeliers are one of a kind, as they were designed by James Tiffany. Each part of the Capitol building has paintings depicting Pennsylvania state history in larger than life fashion. Statues of famous Pennsylvanians can also be spotted around the rotunda.The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is actually the oldest Supreme Court in the United States. On some days it is possible to see the legislature in action, other times it is not.The tour is easy to find once in the rotunda. Tickets are free, but you should reserve a space ahead of time. Tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly. Also, take a walk around the Capitol Complex outside if you get the change. Very nice area!

Beautiful Capitol complex! Breathtaking interior with one-of-a-kind Mercer tiles, superb mosaics, paintings, golden chandeliers, etc. Sign up for a free guided tour if you can. Our guide was super knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had about the building/interior/PA Commonwealth in general. Great experience overall. I’ve heard the building looks beautiful during the night but unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to look at it after dusk.

I love coming here! Not only is it a big venue, so many various small business display their products and we get to see live animals and pet them! I love horses and never knew that there was an annual horse expo!To start off the ticket line is never an issue, we get in, get scanned, and stamped within seconds. I never have to wait in a line. We saw a ton of vendors and it wasn’t overly crowded. My husband and I did go in a Thursday, we were informed on weekends it does get very crowded so we decided on a weekday.There are tons of food options, drinking options and the opportunity to sample based on vendor type. I love this visiting this place. It’s always an adventure. My favorite part was meeting rescued horses and hearing about their stories. We got to pet them and feed them snacks. Can’t ask for anything better 🥰

We have visited the farm show complex for many events. The staff always does a great job keeping everything organized such as parking and entrance. We most recently went to the car show and it was a great time. It's amazing how large this complex is and how many different rooms are accessible throughout.

Such an awesome venue and great experience. Have been here a few times and there is so much to do. Attended most recently at the 2022 farm show and was once again blown away. I do wish they sold yearly merch for the show as I would be very quick to purchase that. The food is always so good and options are plentiful including vegan and vegetarian. Definitely recommend

I wish I could give a five stars but parking and driving around the Complex was in my experience a disaster! It really needs to change! The foods delicious but little to nothing to eat for people who suffer from diabetes. I went on the last day of the show and attended the Rodeo which was the real treat.If you plan to attend, get your tickets way in advance as it sells out and it is really a great experience! Five stars for the Rodeo for sure! Here are some photos and videos from this event!

Went to Mecham Auto Auction and let me tell you it was a dream come true. Super friendly, helpful staff. Great venue for a great event.

This is a review of the Brickfest Live. It was okay. We had 9:00 tickets and the line moved very quickly. We spent about an hour and a half in total. They had a nice selection of Lego merch for purchase. There was a good presence of Star Wars cosplay, which was probably the best thing about the event. The building stations were nice, and generally not overcrowded, but they could have had more food vendors, some games, and what about sweatshirts? Half of the building was empty, so it wasn't a space issue. I hope they continue to host it at the Farm Show Complex, and I hope it continues to grow. Overall, it was ALMOST worth the ticket cost. Just a bit bigger and it would be. I'm glad we didn't pay the VIP cost as it wasn't much different.

Some vendors did not attend and attendance was lower than past years, but it was Great. You get to really enjoy all the shows and sample items without being rushed.We loved it!Parking was easy.

It was all right. Went there yesterday with a large group of friends. There was a lot to see, though I am sure I also missed a lot. As always, it gets absolutely packed with people.I talked to quite a few people in their booths, and it is nice to learn a lot about various people's passions.There definitely isn't as much there as there used to be, and there was hardly any big machinery.

Supernice facility very well laid out very very large! Great people running the place awesome parking always great to be here for the four h state championships. Looking forward to next year.

Went there during Eid Festival Prayer. The place was huge and the parking space was sufficient to accommodate tons of vehicles. Inside, there are many toilets and emergency exit doors. The place is wheel chair accessible.

I absolutely love the farm show and this year, it seemed like there were more exhibits and vendors than ever. However, I forgot how busy Friday nights and weekends are. Certain areas of the complex such as the Giant expo center food court and Main hall were so crowded it was nearly impossible to walk and navigate. This really impacted how enjoyable our night was. I arrived at 12:30pm, but between heavy traffic, parking and an extremely slow shuttle system, I didn't set foot in the complex until a few minutes after 2pm. I must've came at the height of arrival along with everyone else because other friends who arrived around 5 and 6pm, while they battled traffic, didn't have nearly as terrible an experience.

The Great American Outdoor Event & Trump Rally were awesome! Huge place.. love the actual building & it has neat history if you look it up. ☺️

Been going to the farm show for 35 years now and there's nothing to say bad about the place, we can complain about the crowd but that will never change since ppl come from all over the world to come to the farm show. Food was awesome... Milkshakes, fries and mozzarella cubes..

I went on Thursday January 11th arriving 0900. Plenty of parking. Entering at the main entrance, you are presented with two immediate options. Go to the Main Giant hall to the right or up the escalator towards other areas and expositions. Signs are present, but poorly marked. Main hall food court was a big but expected disappointment with high prices, small portions and as was the case for my cheese curds, undercooked to the point I bit into some raw dough breading. I specifically went to see and speak to a veteran about farming, that never happened. By the time 1000 rolled around the place was swarming with children as far as the eye could see. It quickly became unbearable walk around comfortably without being rudely bumped or having to hear the screaming from the Un-behaved children. By 1045, I could no longer enjoy walking around the show and had to leave. I think in retrospect, I would have gone on a Monday hoping that the school trips don’t happen until later in the week.Many prized animals to see and get information from the owners. Too bad the chickens were kept home do as to not possibly infect them with the bird flu. The food court is not the only place to get food as the other vendors in the hall by the butter sculpture is.

There is so much to see and do at the farm show. Paid $15 to park and took a coach bus to the entrance, which was nice. Free admission. Breaded fried mushrooms, milkshakes, corn dogs, and fries were all delicious! Butterfly garden was fun, $4 admission for that. Long line to pet the rabbits and to snuggle goats so we didn't get to do that. You definitely need a whole day to see and explore everything.

Great experience!!!! My daughter is so in love with the Cuddle a Goat!!! Glad they added something so interactive for the kids. Can't wait for next year

This place is amazing. The manicans are very life like and detailed. They really show the what life and death would have been like. I absolutely loved it. This is the kind of museum that others should take after.We were there for 2 1/2 hours and didn't get to see it all. The staff was really friendly, chatted history and life with us.I can't recommend this place enough.

Beautiful Museum. Laid out well with lots of places to sit if need be. Gift store is great. Personally, I wished it had more of a selection of gifts but great nonetheless.

We have been to quite a few civil war museums, but this one by far was the best. It has a very neutral feel, just presenting the facts leading up to and during the war. There is recognition of a variety of individuals that were in the war, videos along the way, and of course lots of pieces used at the time. Be sure to check out the medal of honor room. Only one woman has ever received this honor and it was taken away from her and given back after her death

Nice museum to visit. Well kept, clean, safe area, lots of info displayed and not packed together. Lots of room to look around and not be crowded. Well done!

Great museum to visit and plenty to learn. Good place to visit if your a history person.

Beautiful yet heartbreaking portrayal of what took place during the time of the Civil War. Would recommend a visit especially if you are looking to learn more and get a more intimate lesson on what occurred outside of a classroom or a book.

The ladies in the gift shop were exceptional. They answered all my questions and were very patient. The went above and beyond. I can't wait to visit again. I like sitting down and watching the video it's amazing there

Was here for a work function. Took a tour through the museum and was quite impressed! Definitely worth a visit if you like learning and seeing history.

Amazing experience!This is a nice museum to learn more about the civil war. They did a great job by describing the events from the beginning. Most importantly they described the history of both Confederate forces and union forces and how each event unfolded. Take your kids for a good history lesson. T

Very well done. Lots to read so bring your glasses. Many interesting artifacts. Nice gift shop. Beautiful grounds.

My son had a great experience here on a school field trip. Very educational, highly recommend checking it out. The staff were amazing and so respectful.

A very nice museum taking you through the entire history of the darkest period of our nation’s existence.Several artifacts are on display along with videos that showing you that the combatants are not the only ones who suffer due to the total cost of war.

An amazing, educational, and entertaining museum with courteous and intelligent staff. The displays are great and captivate you throughout your entire time in the museum. Clean and well kept with constantly new things being added.Worth a trip for anyone interested in the civil war.

Very cool museum. I'm not super into history but I still found a lot of the information very interesting and I definitely learned a ton of things I didn't know before. It's definitely an impressive museum.

Good people run this place. Good manners and helpful. My wife needed a wheelchair and they jumped right to it to help.The exhibits and story lines at different stations were great.The slave runners and chiefs who sold their people as slaves need to be called out by name. More accountability for those evil people.

I had a couple of hours to kill before my flight and decided this would be a great use of that time (about 15 minutes from airport). Very glad I went, though it was powerfully emotional, it is an important reminder we shouldn't forget. I would certainly recommend a visit.Self-guided tour was 60-90 minutes. Easy to navigate and follow the history from lead up through key battles to changes that followed. Tremendous number of artifacts and lots of details beyond just battles like Bugle Corp, Medical Corp, and role of children. Really appreciated the identified firsts in battle.

Interesting exhibits and overall nice place. Would definitely recommend visiting!

Neat place! Learned some new information. Got to hold an actual artillery shell!!!! Should have taken a picture. Really cool place to check out. Then of course ya gotta go spend a few days in Gettysburg. The staff here were very nice! There are a lot of rooms and items to check out so take your time and be ready to read. Worth it!

Great museum and worth the price of admission. A great experience for young or old. With or without Civil War knowledge, it's a great way to spend your afternoon. Situated atop Reservoir Park in uptown Harrisburg makes it a bit difficult to get to.

Great well worth the trip I enjoyed my time here it's a must visit if in PA. The amount of historical significant artifacts is crazy so much to see it's incredible

I found a great sandwich here and 2 donuts.The place is a little packed on a Saturday but you can always stay outside. There are tons of bench and tables.Walking around you will run into cheese shop, butcher and fresh veggie. Everyone is friendly and filled with life.Great place to get a quick bite.

Amazing place--so many sights and sounds and color and texture and tastes! Fabulous adventure! Parking nearby especially if you get there at 7 am.

I love this market. There are so many good finds there. It's a great place for gifts, vegetables, plants and baked goods. The vendors are friendly. We bought some Everything Cheddar Bagels that were delicious.

Glad we made it! We went there approximately at the time they were going to close. So I got two delicious muffin in one price. It was a wonderful experience to see the combination of so many cultures at one place and I would love to buy more interesting stuff from the market in my next visit.🥰

I loved the Market. A nice variety of different foods breads cheese and more. The Parking isn't the greatest. It's a small lot and you may have a walk to reach the market. There's also isn't a sign advertising the market. So you maybe confused in which building to enter.

The best of everything! Fresh veggies - spices - fish - really great coffee - beautiful flowers - the best cheese! and so much more. I never leave empty handed and never leave with an empty belly either! Highly recommend.

So many yummy things here to try and bring home! I wanted to get so many things but since we were visiting our resort did not have a big enough fridge or freezer. We wanted to come back again but they had odd hours, so it wasn't possible and that was a huge bummer. But it was very awesome to see the fresh fruits and veggies and the yummy coffee and foods they had. Maybe next time we hit when they have more days open and we can bring some fresh meats home.

All vendors I interacted with were pleasant. Enjoyed seeing/interacting with Mennonite vendors/servers. Nice alternative to Reading Terminal in Philly. Not as crowded and you don't feel rushed by others or studied by folks down on their luck.

It was our first time visiting and we loved this market! I really enjoyed the fresh cut flower stands. Serval places to eat and take food home. There is a small deck are upstairs to stand and eat or take a break from the crowed. Lots of little shops right outside of the market too.

This market is worth a visit if you are looking for local fare and unique options for teas and meets and other things but the isles are narrow and the crowds can be large.We visited on a Saturday and found it too crowded to navigate without much difficulty and even some frustration.Parking on the street was a no-go so we went to the garage nearby. We did eventually find a few items that were interesting and the rest, pass.I’m glad we visited but wish it were a little less of a mob scene

The historical downtown market is a fun place to go, you can pick up lunch, flowers, and local products. It’s so nice to see traditions live on and the market is still thriving.

Great selection of produce and ready made foods to choose from. The area has a terrific feel to it, and is conveniently located near many shops and restaurants downtown. The aisles are a bit tight but the amount of vendors is great. The market is clean and organized, offering a wide range of different foods for any palate.

Great place for all of your produce and love the variety of vendors as well! Could certainly be a one-stop shop in a way! Got an immune boosting smoothie from the Juice Company, and it was delicious! Also, the historical significance of the market is noteworthy as well!

Lancaster Central Market is an absolute gem. Open 3 days a week, there is a lot of bustle and business, but each stall is worth the wait.This huge market is leading the way in rolling out SNAP/EBT accessibility for the entire market. Being from a city with severe food deserts and lack of access to fresh produce, this kind of accessibility is amazing. No one should be unable to have fresh fruits and vegetables because of a lack of access. Central Market has been rolling this program out since November and is doing so well!I spoke with Bruce, Lancaster Central Market Volunteer, about this program and how they've made it easy to do for the merchants and the consumers. In a short span, so many booths now accept food stamps. As a disabled person who relies on food stamps to help offset the ridiculous inflation of groceries, I appreciate this!Shouting out to The Herb Store and Lancaster Coffee Co for being awesome and having amazing customer service.

Love love love this place! It is a must when family or friends come to visit to take them here. We love the soft pretzels at Kom Essa— so addicting!! Every time I take someone there they love the atmosphere of the market and have such a fun time trying local flavors.

Just wanted to give a shout to Groff's here because I don't think they have a "location" on Google Maps -- they may have a small selection but what they offer is fresh, local, seasonal, and delicious. And they've had seasonal flowers since Spring began. TEN of these stunning peonies for $20 on 05/18.

Fun little market in a beautiful building. We picked up a little bit of everything- garlic infused olive oil, cranberry infused balsamic, desserts, empanadas, cappuccino flavored fresh peanut butter. It was all delicious! Our dog had fun people watching outside ☺️

First time here for my wife and I . We loved it, the fresh produce and meats . Anything you could think of was there definitely will return

We loved kicking off our Christmas shopping while visiting Lancaster PA. Lots of options and fresh meat and produce as well as teas, jams and pastries and so much more. Very clean, great restrooms.

This is a fun market to visit on a trip to Lancaster. The city of Lancaster itself is fairly forgettable, but beautiful Central Market is located in an historic building and filled with wonderful vendors. Worth a stop before heading back out to the countryside.

I thought this market would be all Amish fare, but the diversity of the offerings surprised me. My husband and I ate a little bite at many vendors — Apple fritters, dolma, pretzels, apple cider, pickles, empanadas…this place has a little bit of everything. There is a little 2nd floor platform with tables for eating that has a nice view of the whole market. Would definitely recommend checking this out. Open Tues, Fri, and Sat.

I visit the LCM every so often. They offer some good quality meats and other goods. I also love the coffee shop at the back end of the market where you can even get flavored syrup in your latte or coffee. Everyone at the market is so friendly and if you want to contribute a little bit more, there is a stand that you can buy LCM merchandise!My other favorite spot is the pretzel stand and the fresh bakery stand. They sell freshly basked English muffins which we got this time on our visit and they were so soft and delicious!I will say some of the stands can be pricey! I recently saw "homegrown tomatoes" $3.99 each... I am not doubting the quality but other stands that sell homegrown were going for 3.99 for an entire basket of tomatoes.One thing to note is that I have only been there on a weekend but it does get very busy there especially in the morning. I would recommend leaving behind strollers if you can so that you don't get stuck in the congestion. There is also parking nearby for those that do not want to park on the street. Also, don't forget to bring your own bags!!

It was a busy Saturday morning and there was A LOT to see. Great floral vendors, fresh food and yummy coffee. We lined up for soft pretzels (frankly because we saw the line). They wer soooo delicious.Unfortunately l didn't take a picture of the pretzels place but I'm not sure there was more thsn one.Highly recommend this stop. The visitor’s center was close by (which was very helpful).

Lancaster C.M. is a place every visitor to the area should take in. There are great food vendors from African Diaspora Food to Swedish to local eats, and Hispanic food as well. A great cafe, a juice bar-please just come and see and taste for yourself. And with that there are many produce, meat,, and dairy vendors from local farm, and baked goods too.

Such a fun shopping experience! Beautiful meats, seafood, cheeses, and vegetables. Lots of other venders such as oils, teas, flowers, pasta and more. Ready to eat foods as well like empanadas and made to order hoagies along with handled pretzels.

A beautiful place close to Harrisburg, and 10 minutes from outlet mall. I loved the quiet atmosphere. Pretty huge inside, and plenty of games to play and spend quality time. Friendly services, and surprisingly easy to win! Low $10 minimum on roulette where I just like to spend time. Overall great experience.

This was our second visit here. Part of the casino allows smoking, and part of it is non-smoking. Being a nonsmoker, I prefer the area without people smoking. The gaming floor is large. They also have horse race betting available.The facility is located close to Hershey PA. There are hotels, restaurants, and gas stations nearby. The grounds are taken care of, and the landscaping is great.There is a Hollywood Casino located in Bangor Maine, too.

Love the outdoor venue. Seats are kinda cramped in too tight to where you barely have room to walk past people to get in or out. Saw Walker Hayes and then fireworks after the show for the 4th of July. All around a great time and experience.

I like the casino and location. Have a great restaurant and games. I had a lot of fun.

Slots are very tight here. I used to go here because it was a lot of fun when they actually did pay out enough to keep you playing for a good amount of time.Now you can blow through Hundreds in an hour and win nothing.The Casino itself is nice and clean. The food courts have good food.First 2 Big Hits were at Hard Rock Cafe Atlantic City NJ. Best I could get at Hollywood casino was full screen of Jacks. Of course I feel right place at the right time helps.

With no idea what to expect, we were very pleasantly surprised by the outdoor venue on 6/21/24. Traffic was nonexistent as we entered (may have been because the concert was advertised to start at 5pm, then 6pm, and the Ticketmaster tickets said 7pm. When I called the casino to clarify, the gentleman who answered said he could confirm the concert started at 7pm, but the opener was playing when we arrived at 6pm). We were directed to park in a grassy field in view of the stage. Easy getting into the venue. There are several shipping containers set up as concessions/drink stands at the back of the venue. No vegetarian options other than fries, but they did have burgers, cheesesteaks, soft drinks, water, beer, wine, and a mezcal station etc. Directly in front of the concessions were two patio areas with hanging lights and some chairs and another tented area for shade, all accessible to anyone. The concert seating was fixed rows of reasonably comfortable chairs and all had good views of the stage and giant tvs. On each side of the front rows were raised “specialty areas” one of which I recall was called the Oasis, which I’m sure folks paid more to access. Porta-pottys, stationed on both sides of the venue (they had tons of them, regular and handicap accessible), were extremely clean and handwashing stations were stocked with soap and water. After the concert, we moved swiftly to our vehicle and left with very little traffic (may have been because attendance was approx 2500 for the 5000 capacity venue). Overall excellent experience.

Won a few bucks but the best part was the plumbing department !! They had every size pipe you could ever need, so I marinated the steaks for about 18 hours. After that I tried to brace the sides from the inside because when the soil gets water soaked the Wright will bow the sides out. I parked on the street so the truck could back right into my driveway to dump all the amended soil... boy was I surprised at how soft that carpet was !! All in all, a nice place to spend a weekend or weekday evening.

Went there for a concert that was to start at 6pm, but stopped at Sheetz to meet a friend, so checked Facebook while waiting, and found out that at 530pm they decided to cancel/postpone the event. 😖😥 1st of all I feel this was poorly advertised or promoted, as I did not hear or see on billboard, tv or radio locally (within 20 miles) anything about this show! Only on Facebook did the algorithm show an ad, probably because I was buying tickets for another show of same decades 🤔 🤘 I feel Hollywood casino, iheart and ticketmaster all failed these bands and their fans with lack of promotion followed by lack of communication and notice of the cancelation. Now for the reschedule or the refund process 🥴 🤯?!.Inside the casino was smoky with cigar and cigarettes, the buffet and free soda fountain are gone, not many American themed machines 😒not many tables or games open. ok I'm rambling, sorry. My final opinion is "You could do better". 😕

It's nice. I mainly go for the horse racing. The track is set up where it's easy to see the horses in the paddock and easy outside betting too! Penn mile brought in hall of fame jockeys. Something for everyone even the kids. Inside slots if that's what you're into.

Had such a great time! It's a great place to go if you have a few extra bucks and if you're looking for a little excitement. There are plenty of slots and table games so you won't get bored easily. The only thing that I wish was different would have to be how the slot machines aren't really arranged the greatest.

An expensive casino with a racetrack. They have a parking garage but a lot of areas were closed off in the casino. On top of that they would let me take any pictures inside, which was a first.There are better casinos to try in York and Bethlehem, so I won't bother with this place again.

This was a great venue! We saw Mudvayne here. We had pit tickets and had easy access in and out for drinks and to use the restroom. Will definitely be returning for future shows!

Great venue for concerts! They have food trucks with all kinds of food. They added more bathrooms. Staff is very helpful and friendly. If you can't find your seat, there are plenty of staff to help you. Felt very safe with all the security. I have been to 5 concerts here, so I would say it pretty awesome place!

2024-05-04 - 4 StarsLike any other Casino, a place to lose money.Watched others losing their money.

The casino is nicely done. I don't always win here, but you can't expect to always leave a winner. I like taking a break to eat dinner there. The food is good and there are a few places to choose from. The bathrooms are nice and clean. This casino has a good variety of machines to play. Staff there are always friendly and they make you feel welcome. If you like to gamble, this is the perfect spot for date night.

Great location and outstanding amenities and spacious room. Stayed for a concert. Visited the smokestacks and great pictures.

We stopped here on the way back from a road trip and we were pleasantly surprised 😮. It's absolutely 💯 % beautifully done. The food was pretty good and the slots paid fairly. We only stayed a few hours and walked out winning $ 109.00 between me and my wife. Stop by. Very fun.

Visited for the first time yesterday. I had a good time. The steakhouse was really nice. Had a few apps and some great co*cktails. Played some tables and that was great. All the dealers were super friendly. I would have loved some more IPA selections as the main bar ran out of perpetual. My one gripe would be that when I visit casinos, usually when you’re playing you get free drinks but the drinks on the cart were not worth the bother and I’d just stop playing to get a drink at the bar.

This "Casino" is a joke. They shut down their poker room like everybody else during the pandemic. No problem. Everyone else re-opened their poker rooms years ago. Not here. 6 Months ago, they started advertising their "new" poker room, opening in spring of 2024. Here we are the summer.....Not a thing. Whoever is in charge is either too stupid to get this done or doesn't want to make it happen. And whoever is in charge of the website...says "Hollywood Casino's Live Poker Room is the only one of its kind in the Hershey and Harrisburg area." What a Joke.

We just stopped we were passing through. Security staff was super nice. We were only there for a short while.

The outdoor venue at Hollywood Casino is my favorite venue in Central PA. They host great bands at reasonable prices. The staff is helpful without hanging over the crowd. This is a casual venue, with plenty of room to walk around with friends and purchase drinks/food. It's truly the perfect Summer venue!

Don’t have much luck here and I hate that you got to pay for your drinks but I keep returning anyhow

Not familiar with the casino and didn't even care to go inside, especially since the buffet isn't there anymore and I'm not a gambler anyways. I came for the Keith Sweat concert and it was Nice.The homie Sweat did his thing and gave us a great show. The rain didn't come, me and my lady enjoyed ourselves....as well as everyone else. The energy was NICE!

My husband and I were going out for date night. There was a live band that was playing there, I do have to say that the music venues they put up there are really great. The facility isn't bad either it's an older one, wear and tear is to be expected always nice and clean. Especially the bathrooms. The employees there walking around are really nice. Smiles on everyone's face didn't hear anyone complaining about their job which was wonderful.So we went out for a date night, husband said he wanted a steak. He remembered that there is a steakhouse in the casino. One stop shop great music and food.We went to the steakhouse "Final Cut" understanding that it can be a little pricey. That's perfectly okay with us I'm happy to pay good money for good service and good food. We spent over $200 + tip. The drinks were mediocre, I am a co*cktail drinker. My husband doesn't prefer drinks but I do enjoy my mix. The cost of them and the taste of them, I'm not sure that it reflected quite right, especially for the amount that you got in your martini glass. My husband ordered the prime rib at $57, I got their halibut which was around $40. My fish was on couscous which I have to say was cooked perfectly. I was really surprised that it was not mushy. The fish on the other hand, was so dry. I absolutely love halibut and that I have to say was the most disappointing I've had. We had Korean burnt pork ends for appetizers not bad well worth $14. I have to say that was the best part including the brussel sprouts. Those were the only two things that I wish we had ordered.I was sorely disappointed that we spent that much on a meal that I feel was lacking. We left there and I felt I had just wasted my money, I didn't say anything to my husband because I didn't want him thinking I didn't appreciate it.My husband has never complained about the places we've ate. Also the first time he asked me about writing my reviews. This one bothered him enough that in the middle of the night he turned to me and said I don't mind spending the money but I'm bothered by the fact of I don't feel it was worth what we paid.I think that sums it up. Definitely will head there for the music not sure about eating dinner again.

Very nice casino! Great sports bar inside with nice big TVs from every angle. Glad we stopped in to watch the final NBA game. Great food & service!

Truck driver here. I stop at casinos all over the country when I have time. This one is about a mile off the freeway. Food is good people are friendly and alots are better than anywhere I've been and I've been to a few. I play $1 machines or blackjack mostly. I hit a top progressive jackpot $100 in. I also hit several big wins on other machines. They do a drawing from 5-10pm for all jackpot winners. If you have no discipline I recommend you get you winnings out of there if you want to stay for that.

Great casino, has smoking and non smoking areas, few restaurants, horse track, concert venue. Provide good comps. All in all great experience for me.

1st time there and I won 600.00 on a 60. Cent machine. Left a winner. Very nice atmosphere as well. Bathrooms are beautiful . HOWEVER, their online casino was amazing in the beginning. Once you win big, you might be one of the unlucky ones to constantly have someone tweak your slots to never pay again. A weird message appears on your slot machine, and then you will never get into a bonus or win anything above a small amount again. Really, is upsetting. Also, do not care about your players' club card. I am an advantage, and I get 5 bonus spins worth 20 cents. There is nothing like the advantage card is supposed to offer. They want you to play their online casino but when you have someone constantly mess with your slots to the point you never win, not even your bet amount back makes you want to play draftkings or golden nugget. Wish they would learn and not mess with the online slots

We were here for FlavorFest, the annual wine and spirits tasting event that is held here. Overall it was well organized. There is tons of free parking, and a vast amount of land that housed vendors from around PA. The Renaissance theme of the grounds is very quirky, but also interesting. There were food vendors (prepare for long lines), gift shops, clean bathrooms, places to sit, and lots of walking. Wear comfortable shoes. Most of the wine vendors offered (very) sweet wines, which aren't my favorite. But I bought a few bottles of some good ones. Vendors organized a bottle check that was also very organized, so you didn't have to carry them with you all day.

Murder Mystery was quite fun. Menu sounded uninspired but turned out to be very good. Interesting place that is also home to the annual Renaissance Faire. Onsite brewery, winery and distillery.

Such a fun and unique experience for those of all ages. Plenty of shows and events, along with food and shops. The service is amazing and the food is good as well. The top thing about this place is the atmosphere, it's so open and free where no one judges and you can be yourself. I personally love going 2-3 times a year, which I dress up and deck out to enjoy the experience even better. Last year I went for a Halloween weekend and I got so many compliments and pictures and all in all had an amazing time

What a place! We didn't tour the massive grounds, but we did enjoy a wine tasting in their wine shop. Wines and ciders are delicious. Haleigh was very attentive and knowledgeable about the wines. Enjoyed our visit immensely.

Nice place with good variety. The prices aren't bad. I wanted to see more wine related items. The should get some alcohol chocolates. Really friendly staff though.

This was my first time at the Renaissance fair. Loved everything, the vendors where great the food was awesome. The activities they had where interactive and fun pet friendly great experience. Even those who attended where nice. This will definitely be an annual event for my family.

The ladies enjoyed an etiquette lesson, tour and tea today. So much fun!

We went to the Ren Faire, it was a wonderful experience, as always! The food leaves much to be desired but the libations are fantastic and the actors really immerse you in their world with them! It's a recurring visit for our family almost every year!

My wife and I had our first Murder Mystery dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed it! Very thankful that they had a vegan option. The mansion is beautiful and the acting was great!

Must Try!! Been to Mount Hope many times with groups and have thoroughly enjoyed each experience on property. From the murder mystery, to Victorian tea luncheon, to the Holiday event, the actors have been superb, delicious food, exceptional customer service from group sales to servers, and a fun time had by all. Plus, enjoy wine tasting! Nicole, group sales manager, is a gem & always a pleasure to work with. Lots of activities available, definitely worth checking out. Looking forward to many more visits!

I enjoyed a lovely lunch with Compeer. They hosted our Friendsgiving lunch with promptness and really made the lunch smooth and pleasurable. I wasn't that keen on their choice of dessert though. The setting looks like something out of a Christmas movie!

Food was very good. Atmosphere was spectacular. The players were superb. The show was one of the best we have seen in the area. Staff was great. We had a wonderful evening and loved it. We will definitely be going back for another Murder Mystery Dinner. Speaking to the players was great they were entertaining, charming and very funny. Loved it.

The late show 4pm to 7pm entrance is only 20 p/p, friendly staff, food is good turkey leg, chicken on a stick that's what we tried, water bottles 4 dollars, the place is really nice to visit and enjoy the show play and the old buildings construction, you can buy souvenirs if you smoke cigars you can find a good selection there to enjoy if you didn't bring yours, recommend I'd you want to spend a nice afternoon with your family.

Very beautiful grounds but certainly not enough directional signs. Especially in the parking lot. I do wish there were more food options but maybe we picked a day too many vendors were closed. We had a good time but I do think the bathrooms could use some updates. It would be great if there were directional signs around the inside of the gates too. Oh they do bag check (at least for this event they did) and they discarded all open outside food and drinks. I actually think that food was not permitted at all, whether opened or not. I’m not sure if we just had a hard time finding the bathrooms or if they just don’t have enough of them. I doubt we would be back anytime soon because we live in another state. The funnel cake was good and we were bummed we missed out on the turkey legs because they were closed! Bring a fan for your kids and expect to pay extra food food and drinks.

Renfair review! 🏰 This place beyond passes the vibe check. A real trip back in time. Average food cost after admission is $25 per person but be sure to bring spending cash for amazing souvenirs, gadgets and clothing! Biggest downsides: bathrooms are not great. Very small dirty. ♿️ And not ADA friendly. I understand the challenges with a venue like this but the terrain is not friendly to those who use mobility devices. Also the bathrooms are not even remotely accessible.On the whole great but those with walnut-sized bladders and disabled friends beware!

I went with a group. It is perfect for large groups to reserve the dining area. Service was slow. The food was good except if you're from Maryland don't order the crab cake you will be disappointed. Chicken was very good

Went to the Renaissance fair for the first time last weekend and had an absolute blast. The grounds of the estate are way bigger than I expected and the atmosphere is amazing. I loved the buildings themselves and it was fun to explore all the shops. The shows we saw were great and all the food we ate was delicious. It was a really great experience. I would definitely love to go back. It was fun for adults as well as kids. I recommend a visit to anyone looking for something fun and different to do in PA. We will have to visit the winery someday.

Me, my husband and a few of our close friends went to the Renaissance Fair at this location and it was amazing! We had such a good time and experienced delicious food, entertaining shows, and bought a lot of cool swag from the different merchants! I highly recommend coming here for this event!

It was a somewhat fun time. It's definitely a place for people to role play with the time. I don't feel for nearly $35 a person to get in, they charge you a $2 online fee when buying your ticket, that you get much for your money. The live shows are okay, the players and crowd do have fun and get into it. Bring cash, lots of it, because 90% is cash only. The food here is ok, but mostly over priced, as you would probably expect. So high priced food, too much to get in, and so so food doesn't seem worth it to me. However if you like role play and dress up, it's more for you.

We always have a good time there. Most of the food is amusem*nt park expensive, some was somewhat reasonable though. Everything was delicious. All of the employees are amazing. One big downside is that you have to buy the tickets ahead of time. There are no ticket sales at the gate, and there is no refund.

The Ren Faire is always a wonderful time and they work hard to make it that way. Went twice this year. The Yule Tide was so much fun. Hope to see it happen again next year.

Oh, I'm so excited to share this with you! This place is absolutely amazing! Whenever I go there, I can't help but feel joyful. The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food is simply delicious. What's more, they have a great selection of vegetarian options that are just as tasty as the rest of the menu. If you haven't been there yet, you should give it a try - it's one of my all-time favorite places!

The murder mystery dinner theater was an amazing experience with great food, drinks, and actors in a beautiful victorian style building. The architecture inside the building is also amazing..

Went for Christmas display. This place does a wonderful job. My son had such a blast. The place is CLEAN, food selections were really good and wouldn't empty your wallet. Such a great night.

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

This is a cute amusem*nt 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.

We had the best day at Dutch Wonderland! This was the perfect size park for our family at this stage…not too overwhelming. My son is 8 and doesn’t have the love for thrill rides just yet. We enjoyed lots of rides and the wait wasn’t too bad. Some of our favorite rides were the log plume, chairlift, bumper cars, spinning turtles, and the antique cars.We also highly recommend the dive shoes! Both shows were very good! Don’t sit in the splash zone unless you wanna get soaked! It is basically part of the show to make sure you leave wet. 😂. Highly skilled divers!The food at lunch was pricey but there were lots of options. Highly recommend the option of the Mill Stream Eatery. You can eat in the AC and most of the park options are located here, in one spot: pizza, burgers, chicken tenders, sprouts healthy options, etc.

We went for the winter wonderland on a Wednesday between Christmas and New Year's. The crowds weren't too bad especially when we got there right it open and the kids were able to tackle all the rides that they wanted, that were open with only some of the things having slightly longer waits. I'd recommend the park for kids under 11 but our 10-year-olds in the family still had a good time. Food is similar to other amusem*nt parks at around $14 for burger and fries. If you go to the Mill Creek indoor dining it's nice place to warm up and you can get a free fountain water so it save you some money on drinks. I'd skip the all you can eat pizza and pasta as it's $19 for adults. Definitely the sky ride, the train and the turnpike cars are best done at night for the winter wonderland as they have lights and decorations to see. Note the skyride is extremely slow. We found the staff to be friendly, helpful and overall we had an enjoyable experience.

It is such a great park that is kid oriented in every aspect. We all had a blast! Lines weren't bad, they should mention in more places on their website though about the park being cashless 🙄

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.

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

Fun day for the family. Plenty of rides, lots of food options. Kids really enjoyed it. A lot of shaded areas from tall trees and park is well maintained compared to other local amusem*nt parks. Some long lines but not as long as other places. Worth a stop if you are in the Lancaster area and looking for a good family day for the kids

WAY better than last year!!!The staff is so much better than in 2021’s. The food improved as well! It’s a perfect place for little ones, preferably 2-13. But they do have a couple of rides for the teenagers / adults.- A Vacationing New Yorker

What a fantastic place. I came here at age 44 this year and everything I remember from 30 years, almost all is still here and wonderful as the name promises. You can even bring in your own food and drinks and baby stroller if you like. For what you get, this park is so sweet and old fashioned. They still have the charming things we remember from the old times and they added a few new things that are nice. You can skip the puppet show though, that part is horrible. It's way too loud and poorly done to be entertaining. Also the mascots could be redrawn. They look like a ripoff of Barbie, superman and Barney, respectively. They should have a DUTCH theme. Lol. Still, it's 5 stars all of the way. A magical place to visit. The little church and schoolroom are sweet. It was disappointing that there was no chalk in the schoolroom. Also the monorail should be restored to it's original design.

We purchased tickets for their Happy Hauntings event for Saturday. Rain caused the park to close so we went Sunday instead without any issues. We have a 5 year old and 1 year old (walking, not handheld) so we stayed at the Cartoon Network Hotel and with their wristband, we were able to enter the park an hour early to "preview the rides".No long lines, everyone was so polite, the decorations were adorable and age appropriate, they had a trick or treat trail and dance party along with cute Halloween shows for the kids. We were able to ride every single ride and see all the events inside the park. Absolutely worth every penny!

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.

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.

Honest review - Dutch Wonderland is a great amusem*nt park for toddlers big and small. A magical kingdom for kids, there is a lot to do, from rides, trains, boats, dinosaurs, shows, eateries, water fun, and more.While we enjoyed the park, most of our day was spent waiting. Waiting in line to get into the parking lot, waiting for our bags to be checked, then waiting for rides or purchasing food. We tried a weekday instead of a weekend but there were still long wait times. This resulted in us not being able to see all the rides or even view the dinosaur attraction so plan accordingly. This could easily be a two day visit because of the amount of people/waiting.Tickets- Can be purchased online through the website.- You can find cheaper tickets on Groupon or if your company offers a corporate discount website, they might be even cheaper so explore your options before you purchase.- Your ticket allows you early access to the park a day before after 4pm. Might be worth it just to make sure you get through all the attractions once you visit the next day. Day of, you can get in by 10:30 but brave yourself for the lines.-Water park closes at 6pm, main park closes at 7pm.Bags- You can bring in a bag but it must be 15x15x15. They have a ruler and will measure your bag! If it doesn't meet the criteria, you will be asked to put your bag in your car. Pack appropriately.-There are three tables with security that will be checking your bags.Parking- There are only three parking attendants and hundreds of cars. If you're coming from 30 West, get ready to wait a long time.- Best option is to come in from 30 East or from the shopping center across the street! You'll get in way faster.- $22 for general parking and it's easy to buy your parking pass online for a quick scan of your phone and you're on your way.Food- Expensive. $12.99 for 3-4 chicken tenders, $19.99 for a bucket of soggy/greasy fries, $16.99 for tenders and fries. $17.99 for a souvenir cup that allows you unlimited refills, $4.99 for fountain side, $4 for a bottle of water. Overall, it can add up pretty quickly.-The souvenir cup is expensive but it was nice to get unlimited refills throughout the day.- Outside food is not allowed but you can eat a picnic lunch you packed outside the park at the tables nearby.-There are a ton of restaurants on the strip but you run the risk of wasting more time driving out then finding parking again.- Get your hand stamped if you plan to leave and come back in.-You can bring in snacks and water to the park.Water Fountain- Looking for a water fountain that allows you to refill your bottle? Look for the sky ride at the entrance of the park and find the restrooms below it. There you'll find the water bottle filling station.Lockers-$15 for a large locker but it wasn't very large.-I think it was $12 for the small lockers.Water park-Small water area for kids to splash and play. There are cabanas for rent and lots of seating if you're lucky to get one.-there are plenty of stalls to change your clothes.- keep an eye on your kids at all times.Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for little children but bring snacks and drinks, your wallet, and lots of patience!

My first visit at 40! I joined my dear friend and her 4 year old daughter. Perfect park for younger children! Clean, not too large, good variety of attractions, thoughtful layout, not a terribly long wait for anything. The water attraction area was great, and I'm usually not a fan. Lots of attendants to keep little ones safe and lots of fun slides and attractions. I loved that the larger water slide had a lift device for the floats, so the riders just go up the stairs and get in. I think I loved it more than my little "niece"!Food and drink is a bit pricey, but that was not a surprise. They will check your bags, so keep to the size limit, or you'll be returning to your car. Even though my friend hardly uses strollers anymore, it was a huge help to have it for a day at the amusem*nt park. My friend has season passes and they've paid for themselves a few times over already. Make it a fun summer season if you have young children!

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.

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.

Perfect family fun for the little ones. The parks size and amenities are designed for younger kids - I think kids 8 and under would get the most out of the park. Really liked that there were lots of rides and attractions for really little kids (5 to 3 years old) so they aren't left out either. There are also quiet spaces in the park if your kids need a little chill out time. Tons of food options too so you don't have to leave the park. There are also a couple of larger coasters for the bigger kids.

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).

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!

What a great place for toddlers! Even my two year old who is above 36” can have lots of things to play.The park is small but big enough for young kids. Everything is open the day we went, not one is closed or in maintenance. We stayed at the park for 7 hours but didn’t finish all of them.The restaurants inside are tasty. A little bit pricey if purchased everything separately. For example, The Mill Stream Eatery’s burger + fries = $16.99, flatbread pizza is $12.99.Parking is convinced and costs $20.

We purchased season passes. I would love to see this company advance to digital tickets/passes via an app to keep up with technology. The initial visit was a bit of a wait to get our passes, but overall worth it. The park is perfect for ages 2-10. My 3 year old and seven year old LOVE IT. The park is always clean and we haven’t had issues with waiting too long in lines. My favorite thing about this park as a mother of a newborn is the nursing room. Hats off to whoever brought that idea to fruition! It’s clean, cool, calm and comfortable in there. I love that moment of peace with just me and the baby while my hubby takes the kids on rides. Having that room for nursing moms makes the park feel like it’s truly dedicated to families.

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.

This place is amazingly fun for all ages. Having kids of varying ages even the adults had a blast on the coasters - no real lines and they were a blast! Our son has special needs and the ability for him to not wait in line is HUGE. We had a blast and they have a fun little train that my son wanted to ride over and over.You'll have a blast and so will the whole family.

ABSOLUTE JOY BEING HERE. Fun for all ages, staff are very friendly and inclusive. Rides here are mainly little kid rides, but there are some big coasters like the fan favourite "Kingdom Coaster". While I have never rode this myself (Fear of heights) people that ride it seem to be having the time of their life. Food there is good, standard amusem*nt park food. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean! There is a campground near by for cabins, RVs, tents. I recommend trying the RV experience and the cabins. There is a river there but it's not too deep, just don't go swimming in it! You definitely should by tickets in advance when going in the summer. You won't be disappointed by the results!

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

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

We have 2 young kids and we love Dutch Wonderland! We have been going there for years and the water park is always a hit. Ticket prices have gone up in recent years, but the season passes make each visit pretty reasonable. Staff is super friendly, rides are perfect for kids and the food selection is always good.

This place has been around for FOREVER! Well maintained and fun for kids. Went early spring, but after Easter. They were still doing the Easter egg hunt which was nice as it added an extra activity for us while we enjoyed the park. I’d say this place is for children ages 8-10 and younger. The dive show was closed but they were getting things ready for the season. I’ve seen it before and it is worth watching. Staff were friendly throughout the park. We didn’t eat any food in here but had snacks (popcorn, Rita’s, etc). All were enjoyable. If your children are young, it’s worth a trip.

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.

Large historic Amish farm with lots of animals.We did the Christmas Cookie tour — where you visit local Amish people’s homes and sample Christmas cookies. This was a lot of fun. Tour guide knows quite a bit about Amish life. (They don’t allow photos in Amish homes, no photos to share of that.)

We went here for GOAT YOGA and had a great experience! It was affordable and adorable - we got to hold and play with the goats on the farm.It was fun and a great yoga experience. It was a relaxed environment, the staff were friendly and engaging, and the yoga was good for all ages and all types of experience, from beginner to expert.I highly recommend this experience for anyone and it's such a fun experience and great bonding activity!

Detailed oriented explanations about the Amish way to live the life and how they interpret the fact that we're in this world but we're not part of it. Interesting approach on how simple the life should be without been worry about all the technology that we've created to be busy and submerge into a complicated life. Tim, our tour guy was great!

I've wanted to learn more and be able to see the Amish culture and this fine establishment provides a great tour of the Amish farms and an opportunity to purchase delicious food and other products made by the hardworking Amish people. If you go, try the meant tea and the soft pretzels, mouthwatering! The guides are very knowledgeable and personable. I loved touring the house and learning more about the culture and tradition. One thing to keep in mind, to be respectful to the people and to their traditions and ask the guides what's acceptable. It was a wonderful experience!

We have been to Lancaster County several times but have never done the tour till now, and it's totally worth it! Our driver was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and informative. The bus tour was about 1.5 hours with several stops. Afterward, we did the guided house tour and walked around the little farm ourselves. Highly recommend this tour to all who want to learn more about the Amish and Mennonite community.

Ever wonder what it’s like to go back in time and live off the grid? Let’s take a trip to Lancaster and disconnect from the outside world for a few hours. We opted for the $36 Premium Amish Country Tour for a full experience of three different tours. First, hop on a comfortable air conditioned bus for a fully guided tour of the Amish country. Tim, our driver and guide, is super knowledgeable and friendlyjust like the Amish. You can taste allsorts of delicious homemade food and drinks while enjoying checking out handmade items and animals that is also available for you to bringhome. After your 90-minute bus tour is a replica of an Amish house which you can experience. Finally you can have some fun in their Amish farm with their animals, hop on a buggy, ride Amish scooters, and even goat yoga! Yes. Yoga with goats. Unfortunately we did not have the time to do goat yoga so feel free to leave a comment when you try.

This one surprised us! We pulled into a busy shopping plaza and found this beautiful quiet farm in the midst of the chaos. We learned SO much about the Amish community. Thank you for preserving this little piece of quiet history for all of us to enjoy.

My family and I had a great day at the Amish Farm and House. Ticket price was affordable. Learning about the Amish lifestyle was great: Simple living, plain dress, and no technology or less technology. I am not sure they added information about Amish religion or beliefs in the farm. If not, that would be great to know. Overall, it was excellent trip. Recommended to everyone!

I really enjoyed my Amish farm tour last week. The staff here were excellent, very friendly. Our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable. You learn so much about the region and the people. During the course of the tour you get to see a lot of the countryside and we made several stops to buy food and goods from Amish stores. This is a professionally run organization and I highly recommend their tour.

I enjoyed the guided farm house tour and the self-guided farm tour. The tour guide provided very interesting information about the Amish and their way of life. There were a lot of surprises for me. There were also a lot of interesting artifacts in the house, as well.

Really enjoyed the home tour and the ride around Amish countryside. Very informative and we really learned a lot. Loved stopping at the roadside stand to buy whoopie pies, banana bread and meadow tea. I highly suggest that you go here. It's beautiful!

Such a great trip! Staff was very knowledgeable and courteous! The best part was that I was allowed to bring my puppy on the trip! She had a great time at all the stops and getting close to some animals. Over all fun trip would definitely recommend:)

Got to see the Amish culture and their ways of life. Guided house tour was informative and walked around the farm.

Our bus tour, led by the extremely personable and knowledgeable "Tim the talker from North Carolina," was off the charts OUTSTANDING! We left it with a warm & eye-opening knowledge of the Amish and their way of life. Unfortunately, our guide on the house tour was less than stellar. He spent the entire tour worried more about how his presentation compared to the bus tour than educating us. In fact, what he did share about the Amish came off as rather patronizing and even a bit negative. I couldn't wait for the house portion to end -- I would have rather done a self-guided explore of the space and left the day with Tim's amazing job as my last impression of the experience.

This place is amazing! The animals are adorable and the farm is beautiful. We did the morning farm tour. We got to bottle feed a baby calf, feed goats and alpacas. Our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was a blast and the property is gorgeous. We will probably be back for the bus tour.

I really enjoyed this tour so much especially the bus tour. Our bus driver was very informative. I think his name was Tim. Not really sure, we stopped Off to see some souvenirs I was able to purchase a puzzle but before leaving the souvenir shop, a little Amish girl stepped on the bus with a lady called Rachel Who was running the souvenir shop and She Started to sing a hymn for us, I was so impressed and she repeated it In German or Dutch. we also stopped off tohave some snacks which was great. I highly recommend this tour. The house tour was great as well.

Great bus tour, guide was very knowledgeable. Visited on Sunday wished bar-b-cue stand was open but understand that it was operated by an Amish Family. Visit was well worth it-Thanks

Amazing place and the tour was fantastic and very informative. It was a good experience knowing the Amish Culture. A must visit for anyone who wants to visit the Amish country side and explore their farms and know their way of life.

After a day trip to Lancaster, we had some time to kill & found this place on google. It was a pleasant find!It was $10 per adult to do the self guided tour. The farm was beautiful & well maintained. We were given a map & was able to stroll around.Lots of fun animals to check out. The animals looked well cared for. We saw their goats & they all had adorable babies from the spring running around. There was a friendly cat that must live there that came up to us for some petting.Seriously beautiful place to check out & learn about the Amish. Glad we stopped by! It was peaceful to walk around & explore the farm.

Very informative tour! We learned a lot about the Amish way of life and culture. Got to see a lot of great sights. They were very accommodating when we needed to change plans for the tour. After the bus tour, you get to visit the gift shop and tour the farm behind the house. Very cute animals there. Gift shop has some nice items for reasonable prices!

We spent all day in the area of Lancaster country and city, visiting Amish Farms and House. Went on the bus tour with our great tour guide Cyndi Breneman. She was great - friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to give us answers to our questions. We learn a lot about the Amish culture, lifestyle, and differences between them and Mennonites. Cyndi tried to explain everything to us, she was very passionate and enjoyed every second of that tour. We visited an Amish shop, with souvenirs and that was great. All the visitors looked happy because we had a chance to see what Amish women producing.We did a self-tour around the farm and had a great time there too. Everything was clean, nice, and peaceful. We were surprised by how staff are friendly and helpful. Customer service was beyond our expectations. We are already back in Australia and can't stop talking to our friends about our experience.Thank you all for your hard work and great customer service. Big thanks to Ciny.Silvana & Miro

My family and I do baby goat yoga and then toured the facility. We had a total blast! The baby goats were adorable and good for all ages. The property was stunning. Top notch experience!

The bus tour was the best part for me. I loved riding through the community and observing the way of life of such an interesting people. Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. They even provided car seats for our littlest tourists. The bus was a comfy ride. We got to stop along the way at a couple of the Amish businesses and support their way of life by purchasing their food, crafts, and handiwork. The house tour was okay, but not the most entertaining.

Went to the Amish farm and house and the tour was outstanding. We enjoyed the tour guide. She was very informative. The animals were all very cute. The display is were very accurate and the staff was very polite and hopeful and informative as well. The tour guide also made sure that the people who had a hard time understanding had a pamphlet with the language that they needed. Made for a very nice afternoon. The food at the barbecue barn was very good. The home made root beer was good. I definitely recommend the barbecue potatoes. The barbecue chicken was excellent!.

This is outstanding place to go with family and everyone, you can see the local cultures, interact with the people and learn more about our diversity and differences. Plenty of parking space and easy to drive people are friendly nice affordable price.

We had fun here! We only paid for a tour, the first part was someone will tour you inside the home (no video taking, only pictures), then a self tour around the farm. It was nice to learn about the Amish ways of living.

Fresh cut meats, breads, cookies, and more. Stop in have some breakfast or get some lunch. Pick up some unique teas, or take home some fresh spices this place has it all. We picked up some Turkey Jerky, and some original Jerky, which was really good. We grabbed some Lebanon Salami and some freshly made sausage s, with some smoked Canadian bacon. Great place to pick up a lot of homemade goods.

I wish I lived closer, I'd go every weekend. The selection of fresh foods was amazing. Get the cinnamon raisin bread and a fresh pretzel. You won't be disappointed

Lovely visit at this large market, so much to offer, ranging from groceries, wares, snacks, coffee, food and wares. So much to offer, nice place to come stroll through. Lots of fresh items and homemade goods

This was a great place to visit. They had many different Amish made products. Different crafts, souvenirs and baked goods. Prices were all great and you have the ability to taste before you purchase many items. A must visit while in the Lancaster Area.

Great food, outstanding produce and other little treasures. Great place to stop with the kids-toys, trinkets and candy too! Everyone is super friendly. Best coffee milkshake ever!

Love the variety of stored cafes snacks and produce. Plus gift shop. Decent prices and friendly employees

This is a landmark farmers market. It's Amish goods. Everything from food, produce, bakery, candies, crafts, leather works, and so much more. You will spend hours shopping here. Must warn you this is a very busy market. It's hard to find parking and even worse, trying to merge back into traffic after leaving the parking lot. Due to respect for the employees (Amish) I did not take photos inside the market .

We enjoyed visiting this farmers market. The fresh produce was amazing. I saw the biggest cabbages I have ever seen. I bought some homemade peanut butter, honey, and grapes. My Dad tried chocolate covered bacon. There is a grill with very reasonable prices where you can have some lunch. Everyone here was so friendly. Many of the stalls are Amish run. This is a great place to visit! You should definitely stop here if in the area.

There are so many great shops inside. I bought different types of honey. The flavors that i bought big jars of were lavender, bourbon, and original honey.My family bought chocolate here it was delicious. The coconut peanut brittle was amazing and I can't wait to return to get more.

The place to stop and buy some preserved fruit, beets, pickled eggs, chow chow, and other jarred items. The fudge, baked goods, and butcher look really clean and well maintained. Amish goods with a twist of commercialism.

We were driving through Bird-in-Hand to go to Kettle Kitchen Village and had to stop to see what was going on inside because the parking lot was full! There are a wide variety of vendors. Fresh meat, fresh produced, homemade canned items, homemade candies, food vendors, a gift shop downstairs, antiques, Amish made furniture, etc. It's an all in one stop! The prices are reasonable, the vendors were all friendly, and if you're hungry when you leave, you can cross the street to The Bird-in-Hand Creamery! Highly recommend!

Very cool place! Plenty of parking, but tighter spots. The market is awesome and has just about everything that you would need (I wish I had my cooler). Great selections of fresh veggies and meats. Love that they have a few spots to grab something to eat and drink while there. They have public restrooms as well, they are well kept. You can even score some free samples as you wonder around. There are additional stores in the area, be sure to check them out as well. Great spot! Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon!

Traveling to Amish country is like taking a time machine to the past. I found a favorite candy from my childhood, it was great!

Great market, bakery and pastries are fresh, beef jerky is fresh and tasty. Bring cash, some places require a minimum card charge amount of 10 dollars

This market offers a taste of Amish products and food--all in one place! We never tire of shopping there whenever we're in town. Market has a wide variety of grocery items (spices, herbs, flavorings), as well as butcher-shop items, cheeses, baked goods, Amish-made doll dresses, toys, plus a whole lot more! Highly recommend it!

Loved this market! Lots of the shops and food around town were represented here. Lots of beautiful vegetables and fruit, bread. Pies, fudge and candy. Local honey. Pretzels, jams and jellies, a deli, meat, and so much more! Loved it! A must do when visiting Amish Country.

We had a wonderful time. The farmer's market has everything from fresh vegetables, meat, candy, coffee, tea and homemade baked goods. We purchased items for our homes for the fall. When you go you have to spend two days there. We tried to squeeze the Amish Market and Tanger Outlets in one day. Not a smart move for us. We did get a chance to visit all the stores. You must go visit, spend money and have a nice time.

Spent 10 days in Lancaster PA. The sunset and sunrise was our view off of the deck. Random pics taken in different towns. One of the best vacations I've taken. I would go back in a second. Beautiful country.

Great market. Lots of great food. Interesting craft works. Amish influence items. Open areas to walk about and see all food and wares on display for sale. Multilevel sections with larger furniture available and more specialized items.A hot air balloon was taking flight on the farm across the way just as we were about to leave and that was a spectacular view.

Attended the 4th Annual Car Show here. Very cute place with some unique items for sale. Didn't get to go inside as it was closed for the show. There was a good turnout with some amazing vehicles and vendors with some unusual things for sale.

Great Farmer's Market, lots of different food and decoration type items. The food we bought was delicious, we will definitely be back. We did see that some of the teas and other boxed items were available online.

We visited on a snowy, sunny day in January and had such a wonderful time! Our guide Starr was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and patiently answered questions from kids and adults alike. We got to see a lot of the wolves who were happily lazing about in the snow or showing off their latest treats, and learned about their individual histories, as well as the challenges faced by wolves in America and also by wolf-dog hybrids. I highly recommend the tour, and 100% of your ticket price goes to the organization. They do important rescue work and I'm happy to support it.A few details to note: Tours take place in all weather, so dress appropriately; you will be outside the entire time, unless you visit the gift shop after the tour. There is some paved parking, but most of it is in a field, at the top of a rather steep hill. In the snow this can be a little tricky if you don't have a vehicle that can handle it. There are no restrooms, only porta-potties on site. You will be on your feet for the whole tour and it's not handicap-accessible. But well worth it if you can make it!

Such a unique experience! My best girlfriend and I went towards the end of the pandemic for a little girls' trip for a full moon ceremony at the sanctuary. It's such a great learning experience for all ages and magical to see these incredible animals up close! I printed photos, bought a shirt, coloring book, and a prayer with all the wolf's names and photos for my children, I can't wait to go back to revisit for a family day trip! Absolutely recommend!

We did a public tour and there was so much information given on the wolves and their histories as well as information on wolves in general. Doing an adoption tour afterwards was also fantastic as you may get additional information or see other wolves not currently on the public tour (if your wolf isn't currently on it). Staff and volunteers were super friendly and we can't wait to go back!

From booking to seeing the wolves to shopping in the gift shop and leaving, we had an easy process and a wonderful time. The tour guides are very well informed and gave a lot of information about the wolves. The volunteers who helped check us in were awesome as well as they directed us with direct information on which way to drive,and where to park. They even have handicap parking for those who need it. The gift shop has a lot of merchandise. Prices ranging from 5 dollars on up for products. We will definitely visit again. And we were able to see our adopted wolf privately. Staff is very accommodating. Everyone should visit the wolf sanctuary and support it with donations.

In June we visited the Wolf Sanctuary of PA for a guided tour. When we got there, we were greeted by the wolves howling and I will say hearing it in person vs through a screen is an experience! We didn't get to see all the wolves (you can in a private tour) but as we walked through the sanctuary, the tour guide was able to give us information about the wolves - their names, where they came from, etc. Some were super friendly and the others were cautious. Shout out to Loki for being a people pleaser lol Many of these animals were removed from homes who bred wolf pups as household pets which understanding the care they need, is not a life for them! Highly recommend going. Also the staff and volunteers were super nice and helpful! Worth the 1.5 hour drive :)

Absolutely loved visiting this wolf sanctuary with my family. We booked the private tour and I apologize greatly as I am not good with names. Our guide was more than accommodating with answering questions making sure that our tour needs were successfully fulfilled. My 2 children always wondered why I loved the wolf so much basically all my life now they know. This, as I promised them is an experience that they would never forget and indeed they share their experiences with classmates and even want to learn more by purchasing books. I encourage the their knowledge on why this particular habit has come about and others across the United States and around the world and the the importance and impact it has on the population of the breed. Maybe one day they can also help be conservationists and help save and restore and educate people as they have just begun their journey. Thanks for the unforgettable experience and truly remarkable job your whole staff is and has and are doing to help this amazing animal.

I give it 5 stars because the mission is honorable. They only take in rescue wolves now and do not breed their wolves. The tour guide I had was very knowledgeable. I went on a Saturday morning for a tour which started at 10am. Unfortunately some of the wolves were in distress due to the large tour groups passing by throughout the morning. It was definitely neat and an interesting experience to see wolves so up close with such a variety of different coats. Next time I know to come in the fall rather than the summer because all the shrubbery made it hard to see every wolf. Thought I should add, they have water offered throughout the tour. Also, the gift shop situation could use a little work. Only about 10 people can fit comfortably inside at a time. The items offered to be purchased didn’t seem well thought out. Basics like tshirts, mugs, and stuffed animals. I feel like their missing out on some profit there.

Attended the fundraiser. The tour guide was very knowledgeable with her tour content and answered our questions. I learned many new things about the wolves. We were in a group of about 30 to 35 people. The other groups had roughly the same amount of people. Stood waiting for a while for the group ahead of us to move. Wish we had more time to linger with wolves we did see. A few times they began to howl which was very enjoyable to listen to. The gift shop was very small and a little pricey. You had to wait in line to get in and to pay. Maybe they could make an addition onto it to make more room. We didn't have the bonfire because they said it had been too dry and not safe for the neighboring habitats, completely understandable. For the most part, it was an enjoyable experience. Not sure i'd do it again for the 90 minute drive.

Mandy was a phenomenal guide. She knew the wolves so well she could describe their personalities and history as we approached. She was very patient and answered our questions. I visited with young teens who were captivated for hours and may not have noticed that we were OUTSIDE ;)We captured excellent photos with our wolf hosts who seemed happy to greet us thanks to their obvious trust and fondness of Mandy.Will return with friends to stay at the B&B! I hope Mandy is volunteering when we visit next.

This place was incredible everything was great the public tour was kind of short but you get to roam around for an hour and a half go wherever you want in a limited area but there still was plenty to see the staff was amazing and were happy to answer any questions anyone threw at them and were very thankful for us even being there which is a different but very good feeling we are going on a private tour first chance we get

This place is a truly amazing experience! There were a decent amount of wolves out and active. The coolest part was the howling, it was so loud and non-stop!!! Our guide, Russ was a wealth of knowledge and everything he said was interesting. He was incredible and passionate being there for 8 years as a volunteer. The gift shop is awesome. It lives up to the expectation, what a cool experience. This tour is educational and fun and the wolves are beautiful.

My husband and I went on a public tour of the Wolf Sanctuary. I’m leaving five stars because the mission is incredible and our tour guide (Melissa) was VERY knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour.However, they kept emphasizing how much better private tours are. My husband and I had wanted a private tour however the only available times were at 7:00 am so we had to opt for a public tour.I even called first to see if another time could be accommodated and the woman I spoke to told me no and was very rude.If they want to emphasize private tours they need to offer them at better times.That said once there we had a wonderful experience.

We went to the fundraiser they had last weekend. The wolves are well taken care of! It was really crowded....good for the fundraiser. Some staff seemed a bit overwhelmed,yelling,but I think it was the first time they had a big event... but id like to go back to learn more about the packs on a regular tour. But it is was a really nice day :)

I recently visited the Wolf Sanctuary over the weekend, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The weather was beautiful, setting the perfect backdrop for observing these majestic creatures. The wolves were out and about, making their presence known, which added an exciting element to the visit. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and provided insightful information about the wolves, patiently answering all our questions. Moreover, the sanctuary's dedication to protecting endangered wolves is commendable, and it's evident they're doing an exceptional job in their conservation efforts. Overall, it was an unforgettable day surrounded by nature's most fascinating predators.

It was really neat to be able to go to the full moon event, and hear the information about wolves in general, and about their wolves in particular. The facilities for wolves were greatly taken care of, and the wolves themselves appeared to be in great shape and well taken care of. The general public areas are lovely and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I hope to repeat in the future. 👍👍 two thumbs up from me 😊

I had tickets in November and had a family emergency and they wouldn't refund me so I rebooked for last June on a Saturday night. This is literally the only reason why I came back to Lancaster, was for the wolves. My dumb luck a thunderstorm was looming. Also because it has been so hot and so dry there was not going to be a bonfire - bummer. All of those things happen, no fault of the sanctuary.Now on to the tour, I don't recall her name and she was nice and some feedback. It was a VERY large group, like 20+ people. some were slow walkers, which is fine, but the rest of us had to wait for EVERYONE to catch up before discussing the topics at hand. Also the tour guide was repetitive with a lot of things about the wolves, how they get the wolves, how they are fed, how they are paired etc. It got to a point where I started to walk ahead. The entire tour could have taken 15 minutes - 30 minutes to walk through. So maybe they were stretching it out for the sake of time. I didn't get to see that many wolves as I would have hoped, so that is another reason why I went off on my own. We ended up catching up to the other group so we had to stop and wait for that as well. We were allowed to take pictures but not record videos, which was another bummer. There was a point where all of the wolves were howling at once and I would have wanted to record that breathtaking sound of this magical species. Huge disappointment. That's when I realized we were at the end and just went off on my own.I went into the gift shop, which we were warned was very small, they had cute stuff. The only thing that interesting to me were the hoodie sweatshirts, I have a thing for them and get at least one or two. For my size in the colors I wanted there weren't that many common sizes, so I had to go a size smaller.Overall I'd say this is a one time thing, I was expecting and hoping for more. The pictures I included were the only 4 wolves I was able to see. Checked it off my bucket list at least.

Absolutely loved our visit! We booked a private tour and were so glad that we did! The wolves are beautiful! It was just the four of us which really allowed for a very personal tour. Our tour guide Mandy was AMAZING!!!! Very friendly and personable. She took us to visit all of the packs and gave a history of every wolf as well as their personality traits. She gave a lot information about wolves in general as well as the history and mission of the sanctuary. She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. She clearly has a love and affection for the wolves. We didn't feel rushed and were able to spend a good amount of time at each pack enclosure. We were impressed with the amount of space the packs have and how nice their enclosures are and how well they are taken care of. After the tour we were able to visit the gift shop and purchased some t-shirts. We all agreed that our visit was definitely the highlight of our vacation.

Melinda was very knowledgeable and the tour was nicely paced. It was very hot outside so we only saw a few wolves.I liked how Melinda emphasized this is sanctuary about the wolves and the what the wolves need. Part of my hesitation to come here was because I am weary of sanctuaries and explotation of animals but actually here at the wolf sanctuary they take very good care of these animals and work hard to still hold tours while also accommodating for each individual wolfs' preferences and needs. (Some are more shy, some are comfortable around people, etc).

Such a wonderful experience! We have adopted a wolf for the last 2 years and were thankful to finally get to meet her, and her friends. The tour is informative and really allows you to connect with the wolves. The staff are beyond passionate about their work and ensuring that these wolves receive wonderful care. Thank you for the great visit!

I love that this place is dedicated to saving wolves. I loved the Sanctuary and the awesome volunteers. We need more people who care about animals and people. Keep up the good work and thank you to all the wonderful volunteers!

Enjoyed our tours of the Wolf Sanctuary. We did the day tour (in the rain) and the full moon tour. There are more than 50 wolves on the site. The staff shared so much information about each wolf. The best part of the tour was when they were all howling at the same time.We did the day tour in the rain and the temp during the full moon tour was in the 30s so dress appropriately.We also stayed at the Speedwell Forge Bed and Breakfast that is on the same property.Highly recommended it.

Great tour and awesome place! The wolves were so active so we got to see a lot! The tour guide was great. Porta potties are clean and there’s a little gift shop! Bring duck boots or hiking boots to wear!

We had a great time! Learned a lot! Russ was our guide and he was awesome! I saw a complaint in the reviews about not a well maintained terrain, please, you are outside, expect to get dirty if it had rained on the past 24 hours, it's common sense.

Gosh theres so many great things to say! The geography is gorgeous, the wolves are adorable and the staff are very friendly.I have always loved wolves, and they are still my favorite animal. I have a whole army of wolf plushies(one is from this sactuary!), so my parents took me here to see real wolves. It may still be the best experince of my life.The wolves were beautiful, and my respect for them only grew after this trip. They rescue the wolves, of wolf dogs, from illegal situations. Many places dont allow owning wolves/wolfdogs, and they also treat them badly or dont know how to care for a wolf. The sanctuary rescues them and helps them live happy lives together. Each canine has their own story that the guides tell amazingly. Its so heartwarming to see the wolves be so happy after such tough times. If wolves are paired together, its so sweet to see them sleeping together, licking each other, and caring for each other.The staff is great. Our tour guide (im sorry I cant remember his name) was our tour guide both times! He recognized me the second time cuz I wore their shirt(*´ ˘ `*)Its always a great experience, and Vada was ny fav, shes the sweetest gal youll ever see <3If this place was a song, it would be Running With The Wolves by AURORA

My 2nd time here (11 years apart) and it's still great. My girlfriend's first time and she loved it. Her only complaint was that there "should be an old, slow wolf that I can pet".Karl was a great tour guide.

This was a fun and interesting experience for us. The public tour was about 1.5 hours long and my 10 year old enjoyed it almost as much as I did. I'd recommend making sure people wear good footwear and dress appropriately to the weather. I'd also encourage people to make sure you go to the bathroom before getting there. The bathrooms were porta potties, although they were very clean.

I have visited this place annually with family and friends, and I absolutely love this Sanctuary! I stumbled upon it years ago, and fell completely in love with the Wolves & Staff. These Volunteers dedicate so much time to preserving these beautiful wolves and you can see how enthusiastic they are about Preserving and Saving these Majestical Creatures. They also offer free entry to military/le, which as a currently serving military member, was very thankful for. (If you are military/le, you can still make a donation for your entry.)The wolves are VERY well cared for and the facility is VERY well maintained.The Wolf Adoption Program is especially sweet. I adopted Solo years ago and did every year until her passing. I def miss seeing her running with her pack!

I am posting this so our innocent students who come here from out of state are aware of the dangers of Lewisburg. Watch out for freedom towing!!! If your vehicle runs out of fuel and you run somewhere and let it unattended along the highway, it will come up missing by these guys. They will tow it away, put it in a locked pen, and if you want your vehicle back, they’ll charge about $300.00 to get it back. I don’t trust them. This is to aware not only the students, but anyone else as well.

Everybody reviewing this place like it’s a public park. So it’s a pretty campus. Big whoop. Despite the wildly overpriced tuition, the university can’t be bothered to spend on the fundamentals.

Nice school, BUT they make students wear masks on campus, despite PA getting rid of masks long time ago… it is insane !!!

Beautiful campus! Impressive facilities and academics. Definitely worth a visit. We took a student led tour. It was interesting to get a current student's point of view. Saw the inside of several academic buildings as well as a dorm.

Out of touch administration resides over an overpriced, but beautiful, party school. The students, faculty, and staff are all very nice but the former are mostly milquetoast liberals with no care other than where they're getting their Natty Lite for Saturday. I've made a lot of good friends there, but I've also gone through a lot of trouble with the administration with the process of getting a new (dry?) roommate. The whole school privileges whiteness and party culture. Not a negative review, but a warning.

Bucknell’s partnership with the town really is excellent. It creates a community.

I went to bucknell and ended up transferring to Boston college. Yes, there’s not much to do at bucknell but the education is by far superior. I was super close with my professors and got to do research that I would never have gotten a chance to do at other schools.

Very organized. Brought in Ships track team in for a meet. Had a greeter with maps and instructions. Very nice thank you for your help.

This campus is beutiful. Every building just seems to be unique in its lay out and physical appearance. Doesn't matter if its residential,academic or a commercial building older or newer building they are all clean and well presented. Friendly interactions with students, faculty and staff. The dining options were an added surprise. Dietary and Vegan options are availible.

Bucknell University is a great place. Many essential facilities are available, and they are free to students. Bucknell is heavy in sports; it has some strong varsity sport teams and a wide variety of club and intramural sports. The rural scene is great, and Lewisburg our town is amazing in that it is very small and quiet. People who like outdoor activities and nature would love Bucknell.The only downside is that it is not close to any big city, probably as far from Philly as it is from Pittsburgh. It is about 60 miles from Harrisburg. And transportation is an issue if you do not have your own vehicle.

I liked the university and the town located nearby. It had a great academic program and they faced campus life in a straightforward manner. The dorms were nice in general some were a bit dated. The instructors we energetic and well informed. Bucknell is geographically isolated so don't be surprised to find Penn Staters around those campuses are close to each other. I drove through serious fog to reach the school.

We scheduled a visit and tour at this very beautiful campus. It is very far out but the town is charming so we were sure to block the whole day off for our trip. The university didn’t even bother to have an admissions staff member to greet us or give the initial presentation before the tour. We only saw students. The arrogance was palpable. We have visited a lot of colleges in the past few weeks and this by far the worst experience.

What a blast! Our family of 4 recently went to Knoebels for the first time and it was awesome! We stayed for 7 hours and our kids who are 6 & 4 weren't ready to leave! The park was very clean and the walk ability was great! The staff was also very friendly! There were so many rides for our children and even though they are on the shorter side, there was a perfect kid zone for little ones under 54 inches tall! My daughter, who is only 36 inches tall was even able to ride a kiddie coaster and she loved it! The food was delicious and priced well for a theme park too! The only thing I noticed was there weren't a lot of water fountains which would have been nice, but we loved how flexible the pricing was as well! You could buy a wrist band for a full day of rides or a booklet of tickets! We bought $150 worth of tickets and it lasted all day for a family of 4! Great theme park, especially for younger children!

Absolutely lovely place. We were staying at the campground and it was nice to just walk into the park. I loved the atmosphere and the pay per ride system. If you don't do any rides you don't have to spend a single penny for them ! Their wooden coasters where unbelievably fun and very well maintained. The food options were great and they have some unique snacks as well. Very affordable and overall a very pleasant place to visit. I highly recommend for the rides, the food and the overall atmosphere of the place !

Always a fun time and a great experience if you don't want to go on rides - it's free to enter and you pay as you ride. Their Halloween decorations are top notch! Best way to do it is a summer weekday before Memorial Day, once in October, and the Christmas decor drive in December.

Great place. Free admission. Ride tickets are cheap. The food is absolutely on point. Amazing!! The food is insanely cheap as well. Definitely no where near the average theme park prices. The locals have it made. Can just come to a awesome park for free and eat a cheap dinner , walk it off then go home and repeat as many days as you want. I really wish other theme parks adopted this concept. Would certainly improve attendance at any park. We'll done knoebels.

This is a great amusem*nt park. Has a great swimming pool for big and little and slides for bigger kids. This is a great family park. Picnic tables you can pack a lunch and save the money for the rides. I have loved this park since I was a kid. I still drive to hrs to get there and it’s worth it.

Everyone loves Knoebels and for good reason! The park is oozing with nostalgia and good eats while not being short on thrilling rides and incredible fun! A yearly spot that I will be attending for generations to come!

Was recently back in Pennsylvania visiting and went to Knoebels for the first time in years - just as great as I remember it! Love all of the rides, that admission is still free, and that you can bring your own food into the park! It is beautifully placed and love that you are riding rides while surrounded by mountains. Gorgeous! Such a great and nostalgic park. Can't wait to visit again!

This park is well known and loved in the coaster enthusiast community, but I really had no idea just how much I would love this place. Nestled in the mountains in the middle of PA, it draws people from all over. I went on a rainy Sunday recently, when every other amusem*nt park within a 6 hour drive was closed, Knoebels stayed open and operated almost all of their rides. The staff was super friendly and contributed to the wonderful atmosphere. I cannot recommend this park enough; it truly is a destination park. The rides are all very well maintained and operated. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I could go on forever, but mostly I’d say I can’t wait to go back, and that’s about the best compliment one could want. I’ve been telling lots of people about the great time I had as well. This isn’t a stop on your way to somewhere else, this should be your target destination.

Our visitors from Colorado, our "adopted" grandchildren, LOVE Knoebel's!!! When they are in town, we always include a trip to this Wonderful amusem*nt park. The park is relatively inexpensive, with delicious food, great ice cream and a pretty good selection of adult and children's rides. Their wooden roller coasters are highly rated in the United States. Children also enjoy performing in a play each time we visit.I highly recommend that you spend a day or two here!

Super fun place. Excellent environment for the family. Excellent pricing and plenty of things to do. Parking is no trouble even if special exceptions are required. Moderately priced and food is excellent. Great place to make memories, offers camping, company picnics.

Knoebels is always so much fun. Their pricing is reasonable on the rides and for food. It is free to enter and you pay per ride. You can get a thing of tickets, which never expire, or pay for a wristband. They did a great job of decorating it for Halloween as well. So many fun skeletons all around the park! You may habe to wait in line but they do have an app that is fairly accurate with wait times. Definitely recommend going.

Awesome old fashion park like I remember as a kid. Lots of old school rides and some new thrill rides. Food is awesome and they always win awards. Very clean and well maintained park. Worth driving up there and your sure to have a great time. Free to park and free to enter. Pet friendly also. A great day out.

First time coming here and I had a great time, I really like that you just pay for the rides you go on and don't drop hundreds of dollars on admission just to stand in line for hours. The lines move pretty quick and there's tons of food and things to do. I really like this park.

I love going here every year and staying in the cabins. It’s very fun with my friends and the park has this feel to it that you don’t get at other parks. They have a good ride selection too.

Knoebels is a special park. Its coaster collection includes the loose, airtime-filled, and well-aged and classic Phoenix, the fun and unique Flying Turns, the inversion-filled Impulse, and the classic Twister. Its flat ride collection includes lots of classics, including many that are hard to find elsewhere. And you only have to pay if you want to ride, eat, or buy something. That's right, admission is free and parking is free, not just for passholders, but for everyone. And the food is good here and unlike other parks, not marked up for being inside an amusem*nt park. Plus, if you don't enjoy the coasters, rides, or food, there are tons of other little things hidden throughout the park. And last, but not least, Knoebels really feels like a park, unlike too many parks that feel like a concrete jungle. This really enhances the experience, both riding and just walking around the park. In short, if you are in the area, I strongly recommend you go to Knoebels, and if you enjoy amusem*nt parks, spend a full day here, you will not regret it.

I mean this is the best old school amusem*nt park in the world. They have rides here that you can't find anywhere. The admission is free and you can pay per ride or get a wrist band great system.

This place is a great options for families who don't plan to ride every ride. It's free admission and you purchase a book of tickets to use for the rides that you want! Or you can purchase an all day ride wrist band as well! If you purchase online before you go, you can save $5.Prices are reasonable here, overall clean! My family had a great time!

Visited from out of the State, during the 4th of July Long Weekend, loved the free admission, pay as you go option which allows the parents of the kids/minors to admit for free when they don't want to go on the rides.Options available as $5, $20 and $50 tickets. We got the $20 tickets which were good for about 7 rides, however, it depends on which kind of ride one opts for as rides range from different prices of $4.50 - $2 each. Rode the Downdraft (don't remember the price), Twister and Phoenix Roller coasters for $4.50, Giant wheel for $3.50, Swing for $3, Carousel 🎠 for $2. Many Rides available for kids and adults alike.Overall a fun experience, Busy on the weekends but still there was little to no wait time. Plenty of food options available from Starbucks, Popcorn, Lemonade, Snacks and many more. Vending machines for water and soda were available too. Plenty of space for parking, saw a picnic table area that is available on reservation/first come basis. Camping grounds available as well.

I used to go here with my family as a kid and always loved it. I finally went back as an adult more than 15 years later and it's still great and really hasn't changed much from how I remember it. It has such a nostalgic feel regardless of if you've been there before or not.It's awesome that there's free admission and free parking. You can buy either a day pass or a ticket booklet. The day passes are probably better for families or people with kids going on a lot of rides but the booklet got us paid for all the roller coasters we wanted to go on plus a few others like the log flumes and ferris wheel with a few dollars in tickets left over by the time we were ready to leave.There are lots of places in the park to eat with a large variety of kinds of foods to choose from. There are a few different historical museums within the park including one about coal mining and one about the carousel. I love that there are things for both kids and adults to enjoy.

Fun park was fun and had rides that are fun for all family members. From roller coasters to log flume rides and even a haunted house. No admission to get in and no parking fee either. You can buy tickets or an unlimited wrist band. Park also had many unique and local food choices which also was a nice treat. Park was clean and staff was friendly. We will be back sooner then later

Had such a fun time here!Wait times were low, my whole family had a ton of fun.I personally like how you just have to pay for tickets, not entry.A little challenging with the traffic flow (some people have no idea what they’re doing) but overall an enjoyable experience for all ages!

It was great! The food was delicious as always and the staff was very friendly. I used a wristband, a fantastic deal for anyone who loves to go on lots of rides. So many ride options for whatever your preference is, and plenty of thrill coasters. I really enjoyed the ski lift, there was a great view of the park and it was very relaxing.

Great time at "Joy through the Grove" First year coming to this and it was very impressive to say the least. My initial thought was it was going to be a short trip through the park but, that was not the case. You start out in the normal parking area where they have three lanes which made for less of a wait. When you pull up to pay they offer some snack options and give you the radio station which plays Christmas music. You start out in the park in self and then go up into the campground area where you weave through the roads there. Many different themes in the different areas. The Staff really did an impressive job of decorating! I am an adult and it was fun so imagine the thrill on little kids seeing all of the lights. For the amount of time it took to travel through the display I think the $25.00 was more than reasonable. I would definitely go back in the future to see this great display of Christmas lights.

Great fun place. Kids & adults had fun. Went on a Wednesday. Lots of seating around. Lots of trees so not too hot. Walking taco with extra meat was delicious. Handicap parking right in front next to park. Parking was FREE. You heard that right! Tickets lasted all day. And you can save unused tickets for next year. Yes on the military discount. Unbelievable place. You must go!!!!

Best time every time we go. It is my family’s go to place every year. My kids started going when they were babies and we are still going no when they are in their twenties. My one daughter even had her Sweet 16 party there.

Knoebels is my happy place!! Been going here since I was a kid.It's is a hidden gem in the woods of Elysburg, PA. Free to park. Free to get in. Bring grandma; no high pressure parking fees or entry tickets. Just pay to ride what you want. You can also just hang out and eat food. The food is really good and they regularly win the golden ticket award for it and the Phoenix coaster. Must visit!!

I do not go on many rides because I get sick. So I love that you do not have to pay to get in just to walk around, while others have fun on the rides a lot of shade. Level ground, decent food, not very expensive. The only thing is parking. It's a huge field, so be prepared to walk. If you don't get there early.

love it here - so great to have a amusem*nt park that you don’t need to pay to park or enter- simply pay as you go for what you want :) so much delicious food & the kids love the rides - bonus if you can get a ride band at a discount 😍

We come multiple times a year and always love it. We have some adults and kids that don't do rides. Not paying for entrance lets us all have a fun day out without wasted money. I do now have a card for the disability program but that was the only draw back. Most places don't require 3 days and documentation outlining dx and needed accommodations. Most places you can go to guest services or at most a day before online for disability band. I don't mind documentation otherwise people may scam but just some awareness online on the home page about what's required and how long it takes. This way we can be sure to get necessary services in time. Oh the small groups coordinator is fantastic. Usually company picnic and pavilions are reserved months in advance. They got me something together for my employees in about 4 days time. Just having the pavilion was great. It's also the only park with tree coverage, shade, ect. Making it actually comfortable on hot days. The Phoenix will always be my favorite coaster of all time.

Went for years with the kids and friends and family. Brought my best friend here before she passed, we made it a ladies trip only and she had the best time of her life... her signature is on one of the covered bridges. Went back a few more times w/just adults and it is always a fun, relaxing, calming place to be...Very Family oriented, reasonable pricing, clean, staff is always wonderful, food is good... Been a few years now since I've been back. Hoping to go in July 2024.

This was our youngest 1st time out. She had a blast!! Its always so fun to watch the smiles on little faces light up so big. Thanking God for great weather and for this day together as a family.Who needs a map! Have this place memorized

I have been coming here,since I was a baby, with my entire family (parents, sibling, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents).I have had so many fun memories here, and look forward to making many more with my growing family. There is a little something for everyone, whether you are young or old. I personally love the Haunted Mansion, which is one of the few old fashioned dark rides left in the country. They also have great coasters and entertainment. If you are a foodie, this is the place for you. They offer almost everything. I like the international food court where you can get anything from tacos to alligator bites. Everything Ive ever tried there has been delicious. This park has a special place in my heart. Many happy memories hace been had here!

I absolutely enjoyed this park. First time going, although it rained a bit, then stopped. The show and rides were still going on. The staff were very helpful and amazing. Lots of rides and entertainment for all ages!

We brought our 7 year old granddaughter and my husband’s 9 year old great nephew for an early May weekend. It was cool and rained the later part of the day but the kids had a blast! The majority of the rides were running even with the rain. We had umbrellas but I wish we had brought rain jackets as our sweatshirts were definitely damp by the end of the day.This is a sweet nostalgic park and the perfect size to do in one day. We were able to get the ride all day wristbands as it was a special “police appreciation “ weekend ( I believe the wristbands are only available during the week or on special occasions) and it was very affordable. (Admission for all 4 of us was only $120) Otherwise you buy ride tickets and pay per ride (this is nice if you are not a fan of riding but want to watch the kids have fun).The kids were tall enough to ride everything and the lines for the bigger rides were not terrible (I think the longest we waited was 15-20 minutes)We stayed in the campground in our camper and the sites are nice and easily accessible. There are also cabins available. There is a shuttle bus that can take you from your camp site to the park and back which was nice at the end of the day. Restrooms were clean and food was reasonably priced for an amusem*nt park.Will definitely be returning. This is a gem !

We paid for the all day pass there. You can also buy online if you choose. You can also buy tickets for just the rides you want to go on. My daughter is 6 and was able to go on just about every ride. With or without . The lines were not that long. Food was great. The best options. They also have a museum about the history of the place and how the coal workers did their job. In the gift shop in there we bought a bag of sand to find gems and fossils. That was really fun. My favorite thing was the app. You could see where you are and put in what you wanted whether you wanted food, rides, entertainment and/or bathrooms.

Knoebels is always a wonderful experience! I was most recently there for Joy Through the Grove, the drive through Christmas light show. A very fun and festive show, full of lights and music. Get there when they open at 5:30 p.m. for a shorter wait, grab snacks and enjoy driving through the park.

Knoebels has been THE amusem*nt park to go to ever since I was just a little kid. For over 40 years, we have enjoyed going there. The rides are lots of fun, with the best wooden rollercoasters in the United States, and plenty of other rides to satisfy most every thrill-seeker. They offer almost every kind of park food you could want, with full course meals offered at the Alamo, or funnel cake, candy apples, cotton candy, soft pretzels, French fries, Italian ice, and so much more to satisfy your desire for something quick. And of course the Haunted House is a must-see ride, with one of the best haunted houses around!Every year Knoebels does an amazing job with decorating the park for Halloween. If you want to have a fun time seeing Halloween decorations, then plan on visiting in October, when the Old Smokey-style train ride takes you back into the woods to see lots of decorations on skeletons with crazy antics!My only complaint, and it seems to be more of a nationwide issue rather than any fault of Knoebels per se, is that the crowds are getting worse and worse, and...how do I say this politically correct... the ... clientele seems to be getting more... rough. The atmosphere has always been one of a clean, fun family environment, with most people being polite, and happy to be there. My last few visits, however, to be quite honest, resembled more of an "inner city" vibe, with gang elements showing through. The crowds were far more rude, boisterous, and a lot of trash seemed to be scattered on the ground. It no longer felt like a fun little family park, it honestly felt like visiting an inner-city park. I suppose that is no fault of Knoebels. However, my last visit there, they scheduled a company picnic by Giant, with an expected turnout of 70,000 employees, during normal park hours. The chaos that ensued was beyond anything I've ever experienced there. The bathrooms were absolutely overloaded, with women going into the men's rooms, not even caring that there were men inside (and I'm not even talking about identity issues - just simply women who didnt care that there were men in there, they just went in "because i feel like it"). The crowds were rude beyond comprehension, cutting into ride lines, loud profanities being exclaimed, completely changing the overall feel of a nice family fun park to an absolute atmosphere of pandemonium. I have to say that my last several visits have not been enjoyable ones, and if this same atmosphere continues, sadly we will have to bid adieu to this amusem*nt park, and live with the memories of how things used to be.

Simple fun. Free parking, clean, shady, delicious affordable food, well maintained park, engaged and kind workers. I highly recommend. I've visited this park for over 40 years. Generations of fun!

What a truly amazing place this is. We were looking for a place to do a short weekend trip from North Jersey and while browsing on maps somehow stumbled upon this place. It looked interesting so we decided to give it a go. Well, it was a great choice. First, let me tell you in advance that pictures and videos are not doing it justice - you really have ti come and see this place in person. Amazing museum that is a testament to some old times with the greatest amount of Americana memorabilia that I have seen to date - and I did drive route 66. Bear in mind that the place is huge, spans on 3 stories and plan that you will easily spend at least 2 hours here. Price is completely reasonable - $10 per person and they do take cash but there is an ATM inside so its not a big deal. Unfortunately, we ended up being on a short notice and having to drive back home so couldn't see the entire thing - but that just means that we will be back soon again. Greatly recommend!

Amazing and beautiful. The staff was great. I loved it. Well worth it. There needs to be more places like this to share the history and love of things. They respect the old as art.

Hi and God bless you. What a great place. Time slows down as you walk through the visit of so many things from bikes to cameras to Elvis information. It's a beautiful to visit there for only $ 10. Anna Bill will be they're if your have questions. I highly recommend to make this a historical stop.

An amazing collection of motorcycles, as well as other wonderful antiques and unique items. Such a huge sensory thrill ride, you have to visit more than once to see everything.

Something for everyone. Sooooo many things to see. It is quite a walk. Just when you think that you've seen everything, it just keeps on going. I was a little apprehensive about my young son staying interested, but he had a blast looking at everything. I believe there might be an audio tour based on signs, but I didn't notice them until after we had already seen most of the things. We will likely stop by again next year when we drive up to Knoebels.

If you enjoy museums and you're in the Pocono area, "Bill's Old Bike Barn" is worth a stop. Admission is $10. Yes, there are several motorcycles, but his collection also includes model boats, cameras, telephones, furniture, toys and many other items from throughout the past century. His narrations about the different pieces in the building really adds depth to the experience. I've deducted a star because some of the exhibits contain so many pieces that it can be overwhelming. Additionally, for this motorcycle enthusiast, "Wheels Through Time" still sets the benchmark.

This place is amazing and a treasure trove.It was an experience worth going to see.

Amazing. Well worth the price. Could have spent days here and not seen everything. Even if you don’t like motorcycles there is tons to see. Dozens of different themed rooms filled with antiques. Rooms dedicated to toys, military antiques, mouse traps, instruments, cameras, and much more. Stop in!

Bill’s old bike barn is absolutely amazing. I was there twice within two days to show it off to family members. Talking with Bill and his buddy was amazing so much information and knowledge! Will definitely return just to be taken back in time!

A very unique place for Columbia County PA! There were so many different collections. It was more than just motorcycles. My two year old loved all the fire trucks and cars. It cost $10 per person which I thought was reasonable for this huge place. Bill's Bike Barn is worth going to.

Absolutely incredible. Words cant descibe the amount of hard work this man put into this place. Very glad I made the trip to check out.

So many cool things. It's hard to take it all in. Had a great time. I can't wait to make it back. Never seen so many different kind of collections in one place.

Motorcycles and Collectibles!! You name it they have it!! Fun place to visit. You won’t see everything the 1st trip.

We were on our way back from vacation and I found this place thinking my husband would like it because of the motorcycles but I think I did more then him. The owner was there and it was nice to talk to him. The place was set up like no other museum I've ever been in. It was made like a city with stores on either side of the street lined by motorcycles. Each store was different and set up with antiques for that type of store. There was a room full of old military items, plus motorcycles of course and the upstairs was full of all kinds of other antique items. There wasn't an inch untouch but was so well set up that it did not seem cluttered at all. I could have easily spent hours in there and probably still not seen everything but didn't have time too. Make sure you have plenty of time to look around but if you don't please don't let that stop you from going because it is well worth the stop in either case. Will I go back again if I'm in the area? Without a dought I would and will make sure I have more time.

Don't let the price deter you. It's $10 each, including kids over 5. Cash only, but there's an ATM on site. This is so much more than just motorcycles. There is stuff in every crevice, every rafter, every square inch of the place. Cameras, scales, radios, Avon bottles. Creepy circus rides from Belgium, even antique dental equipment. They have little voice boxes that you are issued and you type the number that's on the wall and the guy tells you about how he got the item, and all kinds of fun stuff. He talks like you're just talking to an old friend and he's telling you stories about his adventures. It's absolutely amazing. WARNING: in the summer, go on the early morning, and bring hand or neck fans, because it is hot in there. Especially on the second floor which was creaky and scary as all get-out. You truly could spend an entire day here. It's worth the admission.

We luv 💖 this place. The co*cktails, food and service is 👍 great. We come here for our Folino Founder's Dinners and the wine pairing is second to none. Also, the weddings here are beautiful! If you come towards the night, you get to see the beautiful sunset. If you come during the day, you get to experience the beautiful laid back setting to enjoy the wine 🍷. Come inside and have a drink at their 2 bars, go shopping at their wine shop or go outside and have a 🍷 drink outside. Don't forget to sign up for their wine pairings and fun events!

My Princess Leia Star Wars baby shower was held at Folino and it was absolutely amazing!!! We worked with Ayla to plan our event and she was so communicative and wonderful!! The barrel room is gorgeous with amazing chandeliers and a rustic but industrial feel. The food and wine was so delicious and our amazing bartender kept the drinks coming with her own Star Wars bar decor!! Thank you to Ayla and everyone at Folino for making my dream baby shower come true!! 🥳🍼👶🏻🎂💕

My bother and sister in law loves this place. They took us with them this time when we back in town. This is my first time to the winery and it was a very positive experience. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. It is a good size vineyard, i want to come back in the summer when there are grapes .

Service was great ,the staff was very nice and accommodating, they don't rush you in out ,very enjoyable experience, shout out to Lucy our server she was awesome 👏

My husband and I got married at Folino Estate 4/28/23. We had an absolutely perfect day and wouldn’t have changed a thing. We had the most beautiful indoor ceremony, it was exactly what we hoped for since our ceremony was moved indoor due to rain. The staff at Folino was excellent throughout the entire wedding planning process- thanks to our wedding coordinator, Nicole! Our guests still talk about how great the food was and how beautiful Folino is.

Folino's is always an amazing experience. The food is delicious, especially brunch. The wine and specialty drinks are wonderful. However, the atmosphere and view when eating outside are absolutely phenomenal.

Folino is a beautiful vineyard with great indoor and outdoor seating. We went for brunch, and everything was delicious. I recommend the cannoli french toast and brunch flight. The outdoor area was my favorite. It was complete with outdoor games, hammocks, swinging bench, and a waterfall. My only reason for giving four stars is on this particular day the place was overrun with children. You wouldn't take your kids to the bar, so what makes a winery any different? We've been there on other occasions where there were no children, and it just makes for a more relaxing experience. Overall we love it here and will continue to go back.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place when they're not too busy. I have been here at least 10 times now. Each time I'm there service is great. The first few times everything was perfect and I really hyped it up to all my friends and we started going more. Over the last year or so things have been up and down when we go, like most places! One time I went and all the food came out cold (it was pizza so this was disappointing. It turns out they had two different events happening on top of everyone dining there. They could not handle the capacity they were at. I went again on my birthday and I waited over an hour for the food to come (two sandwiches). When it came there weren't any chips with it (which every other time I've come the grilled cheese came with their amazing homemade chips). I asked the server about it and she said they made a change to the menu and now if you want chips, you have to pay for them. Fine, but I wish I would have been told that from the start/asked to upgrade. I came here so many times that I didn't need to look at the menu because I knew what I wanted. The grilled cheese is AMAZING and I will get that every time I go. Now I believe it's the same price as it was when it came with the side of chips but it's just the sandwich.. so that really threw me off.Overall, the wine is great, I always love their sangria of the month, the staff is great, vibes are great. Service/food quality realllly seem to dip when they're busy multi tasking with other events and it completely changes the experience. The last two experiences I had have had some type of issue (slow service, cold food, unhappy customers around me). I will say, it's obvious when food/service is slow and management has always come out to apologize for the delay and offered a complimentary wine glass for myself and my friend when the food took over an hour. I've seen the manager take complaints from other tables the same day where the wait was long and she handled it so great! I will definitely be back - but might just try the pizza area outside to be a bit more casual.Photo is the grilled cheese & chips that upgraded to before the menu change.

Beautiful location and indoor dining area. The wine I got as a recommendation from our waitress and it was very good. The pizza was a great size for my toddler. The sandwich had super soft bread which was delicious. I will say, I felt the chicken on the sandwich lacked flavor and there could have been more truffle and rosemary on the fries. Apple Cobbler was a 10/10. Would definitely come back and try their brunch menu.

Went with s friend for her to buy a bottle for her friend. While we were there, we each did wine tasting, which you can choose 6 types. It cost $31 for 2 of us. 99% if their wines are dry to semi sweet. Unfortunately, we are not dry wine gals. We got to keep the tasting glasses. The plane is huge and beautiful! There were 3 baby/wedding showers happening, each room was decorated differently. The hallway ceiling to the banquet rooms were panked with oak barrel wood. The dining room is elegant, with a bar. We did not look at the menu. The tasting took place in the gift shop. The bottle of wine my friend bought was $29.

We did the private wine tasting. Good presentation by Sean. He was very knowledgeable and advised us what foods go well with each wine. Charcuterie boards were very good. Six wine selections and the glasses were free to take home. Also had lunch in the restaurant. Food and service were great. Entire staff were friendly, including the staff in the store. Great way to spend a day.

We drove 1 1/4 hours to try out this experience but unfortunately it rained so we were seated inside. That was fine except we were quite cold in the tasting room. It was September and I wished they would have lit the fireplace. Atmosphere was enjoyable. Live music was enjoyable . Service was a little slow (had to chase down utensils once our appetizers came) but was cordial and friendly. Do NOT like a mandatory 20% for a party of two even though we probably would have paid that much or more on our own. Food was actually fantastic and came out hot. We would return in better weather to enjoy all the outside activities and sitting areas.

We had a bridal shower for my future daughter-in-law at Folino Estate. It was perfect! From the start of the process to final clean up, the staff at Folino Estate are kind, helpful and attentive. The food was delicious! The grounds are stunning. It was a beautiful day for the future bride!

Although I don't drink alcohol, I've enjoyed the experience of going to this winery with my friends because the food was excellent!The staff was also very great and gave us very good recommendations on what to eat and gave my friends excellent recommendations on what to pair with their food.The atmosphere was great, the parking spaces are plenty. I plan to return just for the food. This was one of the experiences where being the designated driver was worth it.

We had a wonderful time stopping by for a drink, on our anniversary. The wine flight I had was delicious and the scenery was gorgeous. The interior of the building is beautiful and you definitely feel like you're in a different place, rather than PA! The shop has many wonderful gifts and goodies as well! Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

This winery is absolutely beautiful! My family and I went today for lunch and some drinks and it was so amazing! The service was top notch. I believe our waitress was lucy? Or lucinda? I wish I could remember but she was SO patient and SO nice!! She recommended drinks for us and was so kind. Our food was also AMAZING!! The meatballs are probably the best I've ever had anywhere. I personally had the red wine glazed grilled cheese and it was also probably the most amazing grilled cheese I have ever had! I wish I could have another one right now hahha. My mom and aunt both had personal sized pizzas and they were very generous sizes and they both said the pizzas were delicious! We walked the entire estate and it's definitely a must see/try/eat everything!!! You won't regret it!

This is a beautiful property and has, what may be, the best Pennsylvania wines we have ever tried. If you like more medium to robust flavored somewhat dry reds, this is worth a visit.We stopped in and had lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The Brussel sprouts and gnocchi were delicious. Actually, Everything was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nick was our waiter and he welcomed us warmly, making us feel as though we were more like friends stopping in for lunch rather than just another group of people.We took home a bottle of the Estate Merlot and are now enjoying it at home!We will be looking forward to our next visit!

The property is beautiful. The building is amazing. Today was disappointing. I took a friend for a wine tasting, so we went to the counter area that was open. We were redirected to the cashier that we walked past when we walked in. There were now two large groups in line. We waited and waited just to pay. We were then sent back to the wine tasting counter since there were two of us tasting-they could squeeze us in. The ladies working were sadly very busy and didn't have a chance to share much about the wines. Another bar tender poured us a tasting, but it was farther down the list making the tastings out of order. I didn't care about that, but it was odd. It was very rushed and not personal.We ordered a drink and went outside to enjoy the patio and weather. Some of our group wanted food, so we went to the bar area to order. I have a gluten allergy and we requested the brussel sprouts to be sautéed, not fried. They are listed on the menu as gluten free, but not when they are fried! The bar tender told my daughter they can't do that. You can because you did it last time. We ordered a few items and we brought thr food to the table. No forks or napkins were given. The lady I asked told me she couldn't give me forks because we were on the patio. She then was looking for plastic forks. Thank goodness someone else offered me assistance and gave me metal forks and napkins! The brussel sprouts were blowing away in the wind they were cooked so much. There were some rogue potatoes on our plate The pizza was ok. I don't think Folino cared about allergies or cross contamination after this visit.We used the restroom before leaving. The counter was covered with water, which was dripping off the front making my friends outfit soaked and it dripped on my feet. I don't think the restrooms were tended to all day and it was only about 2pm.This experience was less than exciting and I am unsure if I want to go back. For a friend's first time, she was not impressed.

Overall amazing experience. The manager and every single staff member went above and beyond to make sure our time at Folino was nothing short of perfect - the friendliest, most helpful, informative staff I have encountered! The food and espresso martini were amazing. Cute cozy vibes, ice skating rink in the winter. I would recommend this place 10000x.

Amazing! We loved it! We were able to ride in a real antique cart and explore the tunnels even on foot to see the hard to get to interesting places. The staff and person who helped us was so nice. He drove us and took us through a tour of the inside museum. The gift shop was very cheap! We purchased some really neat hand carved coal figures for $3-7.00. We purchased some birds, a dog and a bear. The larger ones were about 4 inches.

I loved this tour! It was fun, educational, very sobering history. The museum was also awesome. Our guide Derryl was wonderful, so interesting and knowledgeable. I'll be back with friends and family again.

This tour was such a wonderful surprise! My best friend and I were taking a day trip to Jim Thorpe and were looking up interesting things to do in the area and this attraction popped up. So happy it did! Our tour guide Darrell was knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about him and his family’s past as coal miners! He made the experience even better. If you’re in the area definitely stop and take the tour. We learned so much fascinating information!

Top of my list of must see things in the Poconos! The tour guide did a fantastic job tell us about the history of the mine and the people who have worked in it over the years. The tour of the mine is just the right mix of riding the old cars and walking around the actual tunnels. The experience as a whole gives you a real sense of what life was like for the men and boys that worked the underground tunnels over the years to supply the coal that fueled so much of the United States growth.

We recently visited the No. 9 Coal Mine and Museum and were thoroughly impressed by the enlightening experience. The guided tour was both informative and engaging, offering a deep dive into the rich history of coal mining. The museum is well-maintained with a vast array of artifacts that beautifully illustrate the life and work of the miners. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, eager to answer any questions and share stories.

It's difficult to decide if this attraction is a run down museum or a fantastic tourist stop. The museum has many relics of the coal industry spanning the late 1800s into the early 70s. There are no interactive displays or modern audio/visual components. A fair amount of the items are not labeled and lack written explanations as to their use our history.BUT, that's ok. The museum is sort of like the place you hangout at before the real adventure. At your appointed time, a guide gathers your group together. You don a warm jacket and a safety jacket and take a short walk outside to a set of low ceilinged transport cars that you ride into the mine itself. The guide then has you leave the train and takes you on a tour of the mine. Highlights include a visit to the "hospital" built inside the mine, a view down an elevator shaft that goes down hundreds of feet, and the chance to have the electric lights turned off and experience what it was liked to work underground with only a whale oil head lamp.My guide was knowledgeable, well spoken, and very friendly. I found out I didn't really know much about the coal industry in central PA during the one hour tour. Now I do. A wonderful educational experience at a very reasonable price.

This place was awesome!!!! Great entry price, ample free parking, gift shop, museum and tour. Bring a jacket- only 50 degrees down in the mine. Also prepare for muddy shoes! Definitely worth it. Thanks guys!

This place was phenomenal! Our tour guide a miner himself and INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about all the history. Not one question he wasn't able to answer. The tour itself was fascinating and going down into the coal mines is not something most people get the chance to do. Definitely a great experience- but it's quite cold so wear pants and a jacket!!

This was very cool...Museum and a Coal Mine...if you're looking for an adventure, go see No 9. Tours of the mine start at 11 and they walk you through it too. You won't regret going here...it's an experience I'm sure I'll never have again!

Definitely do this if you are in the area! There is a cute little museum to walk around in while you wait for your tour to begin. Our tour guide was amazing. She had a great way of giving us information and keeping us engaged. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. It is very wet in the mine. Your shoes will get a bit muddy. There is water that seeps through the rocks and might drip on your head. However, none of those things bothered us. I had a long sleeve flannel shirt, and I wish I had worn a jacket. It was 50 degrees. My husband was in short sleeves and he was fine! There are bathrooms outside next to the museum. This was a weekend trip for just my husband and I, but we want to bring the kiddos when we come back!!

Great historical location that gives you a peak back at a time in our history when mining was a major industry. Going into the mine is a unique experience, and the museum does a great job of capturing that era, and giving you a feel for that time. Well worth the visit.

No. 9 coal mine…Awesome place and tour of one of the oldest mines in America. Nice museum with lots of cool stuff to look at. Also a short movie talks about mining life. Small gift shop has a few things for sale. The mine tour is very cool. Lasts for about an hour. We really enjoyed the overall experience.

This is an amazing tour! So much to learn and is very interesting. Will always come back to see and get the tour again!

The tour was great. Museum has a lot of stuff, could be displayed a bit better, but in a way it helped make it feel more like a working mine rather than a polished exhibit. Staff were all super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely worth the visit.

This tour is well worth going on. My family that consisted of two teenagers myself and my two senior parents learned things we never knew. My heart goes out to what miners went threw. Very informative tour guide,nice museum/little gift shop and kind staff.

This is easily one of if not the best tours I've ever been on. It is very informative and our guide Daryl was nice and has a lot to say about coal mining and definitely has a passion for it and its history which I think really helped make the tour as special as it was. If you are in the area this is a must see.

We've been stopping in the Hazelton area for about 5 years as we travel up to Maine each summer. The No. 9 Coal Mine Tour is one of the BEST things we've ever done while visiting! We highly recommend this tour, which is so interesting and informative! We had an excellent tour guide which brought us back in time and gave us a great understanding of what this industry was all about. Bring a sweatshirt or jacket with you. It's 50-degrees in the mine and it's very damp.

I heard about this when I visited the old jail in Jim Thorpe a few months ago. If you’re making plans for Jim Thorpe add this to your list, it’s not that far.There is small museum you can check out while you wait for your tour. Lots of information about this mine and mining in the region. They were playing a video that I only caught part of but that probably would be worth checking out if time allows.So they take about 30 or so people on this trolley cart into the mine. They offer hard hats and jackets as optional. If you don’t have your own jacket or sweater, I’d take them up on the offer. I did. It went from about 85 degrees outside in July to 50 degrees as soon as we go into that tunnel. I didn’t take the hard hat and was fine without it.The tour guide was informative. The history is very interesting. It was a bit creepy in there too so if being in a cold muddy cave and in close quarters with strangers bothers you, maybe think again. Not quite the place for toddlers and small children in my opinion but kids are allowed.Parking was easy. There is an admission fee, $12 for adults and I think they offer AAA discount. It’s worth it.I think I saw they are doing a festival in September. That might be fun, probably on their website or Facebook if you want details.

Great experience! The mine tour is very interesting and the tour guide gave great insight into what it was like to work in the mine in the early through modern days. The museum is filled with lots of mining equipment and photos. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our experience at this museum. They have a lot of really cool, old things to look at in the museum. The coal mine itself was so interesting. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke clearly for everyone to hear. It was damp and cold in there so bring a hoodie. I would also recommend wearing boots because some parts are muddy.

Had an incredibly informative and eye-opening tour that exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Daryl, is clearly an expert and is passionate about mining history and sharing his and his family's first-hand experiences. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the area, especially if you get Daryl (and his grandson) as your guide.

Tour guide was great. The trip was informative with the history of local mining, immigration, unionization, and labor laws. Getting to visit the depths of an actual mine was unique and well worth the trip.

Awesome place. Oldest coal mine in America that gives tours. Nice museum with lots of cool stuff to look at. Also a short movie talks about mining life. Small gift shop has a few things for sale. The mine tour is very cool. Lasts for about an hour. Definitely worth seeing especially if you visit the Jim Thorpe area. They also do a Labor Day event that has food as well as the usual tours. Small parking lot but if it's not the Labor Day event there is plenty of parking.

A very well preserved mine and a very informative tour. Loved this place and must visit if you are in the area!

9 Dock St, Lansford, PA 18232, USA

First time here and stayed in a full hook-up site in the dog friendly loop in our 19 ft RV travel trailer. The sites are nice and spread out, the most of any other campgrounds we stayed at so far (we've been RV camping for 5 years). Sites are huge and gravelled (small gravel around picnic table and fire pit and larger gravel in parking area). Can't comment about the restrooms/showers as we didn't use those with having an RV. No cell signal.Lots of hiking trails which is what we look for and like for our dog when looking for campgrounds. The Falls Trail is very well marked, others not so much. The drought kept the waterfalls to minimum but it's still a beautiful hike. Trails can be narrow at places so wear good hiking shoes/boots. We started at Rt 118 and did the whole 7.2 mile loop with 21 waterfalls. You can make this loop shorter by starting from the campground and only miss 3 waterfalls. Two "milder" hiking trails are the Bear Walk trail and the Highland Trail that you can start right from the campgrounds.Super size and pretty beach area (no dogs allowed) and Lake Jean is beautiful!. This was one of our favorite State Parks we stayed at so far this year.

Great hiking location. Beautiful waterfalls. Be prepared for at least a 2hr hike, take snack and drink with you. This area is remote with no cell phone signal so download an offline map to navigate your way out of the area. The main 17 falls paths are challenging and do not accommodate wheel chairs. Highly recommend for crossing off your bucket list. Just loved the time spent there with family.

This was my first time actually hiking, and I loved it!! However, it is not for the weak. The changes in elevation, steep steps, and informal pathways can make it challenging. If you have any physical health conditions (bad knees, etc.) and/or are not fit, this trail is not for you.It took us 4 hours to do a whole loop of the waterfalls. We skipped the 3 extra ones further down south.‼️MAKE SURE TO BRING: a backpack, water bottles (personal one and plastic ones), snacks, bug spray, and dress appropriately!!I filled my steel water bottle with ice, and that helped with cooling down. Wearing a pair of comfortable and sturdy sneakers is also very important!

If you love waterfalls this is the park for you we came thinking there were only a couple at best but there are so many more. We arrived kind of late in the day so only got to see five or six of them, definitely heading back next spring to see the rest. Also as you can see by my nature shots I find mushrooms fascinating so if you enjoy them also this is the park for you. Also if you have difficulty walking this trail is not easy by any means and can be slippery as it runs right next to the falls also a walking stick is recommended some people even leave a good stick by the parking lots to share with people. Enjoy!

A place that you could spend a lot of time in and not get bored or do the same trails. One of my favorite places I have hiked so far. The waterfalls trail was Amazing but as the trail maps state it is difficult. I saw many people really struggling with the ascent and some that looked to almost need medical attention.But other than that the park has so much to offer. Summertime it has a beach area and a huge lake to enjoy as well. The facilities there were nice too. Bathrooms were heated when it was cooler out and has plenty of parking.One of the most impressive things about the park was how well kept and clean it was! I would highly recommend going and not being afraid to take the kids and dog!Go enjoy nature!

Ricketts Glen State Park is one hike everyone should do at least once. The waterfall trail is not for the faint of heart as it is very rocky terrain and is often wet. There are a lot of stairs and uphill/downhill climbing as well. BUT, it is well worth it for the views you get. It is simply one waterfall after another. We recommend taking your time and enjoying God's beauty, when you do it doesn't seem so bad. Beautiful place!!!They also have a nice beach for family swimming or parties.Best of all, Pennsylvania State Parks are FREE!!

If you like waterfalls and like to hike, this is one of the best in the country. This place is a photographer's dream. Park a car at the bottom and drive up in another car. Then hike all the way down back to your car at the bottom. There are 2 creeks. Less foot traffic on Kitchen Creek, most people just head strait down to the closer stream.

Great place to hike, especially if you like waterfalls. We hiked the Highland Trail/Falls Trail loop, taking in the 21 waterfalls. It's about 4 mile +/- with some relatively steep elevation change over a short distance. We hiked it in a clockwise direction. Much of the trail has stone steps, which can be a help or a hindrance at times. Our dog hiked with us with no major problems. The falls are truly amazing - many are large waterfalls! It's definitely worth stopping for a great experience. Bring your kayak too - Lake Jean looks like a pleasant paddle (we were short on time, so we had to skip it this visit).

Went on the Waterfall Ice Hike with Valley to Summit outfitters and had a great time. Have been to the park once before in the fall and absolutely loved it and wanted to see this park with the waterfalls frozen. Both times did not disappoint! If you go in the winter you must be experienced with all of the right equipment or go with an outfitter. If you go the other seasons make sure you go early to avoid much of the crowds.

Definitely a must visit if you love waterfalls. It’s a medium level trek and a very relaxed one as we stop by for the scenic water falls views. 5 of 21 waterfalls are closed still a 4.2mile trek not a loop trail.

7/21/23 The camping is really nice, depending on your site. Site 32 is probably the worst one. As you'd expect, the trails are awesome. The beach is gorgeous with a little burger shack( no lifeguards). You can rent a boat, kayak for around $20-$25 an hour. The park rangers patrol so it feels pretty safe. We did see a bear near the beach. The ranger scared in away with a cap gun. The waterfall trail was great, not too difficult.

Such a beautiful place. The trail itself seems to be kept after pretty well. And there’s so many different waterfalls. I loved the hike from top to bottom. It can be a bit challenging but that’s mostly because of the elevation change and all the steps/ hillsThere are definitely some breath taking shots you could capture here

Had an amazing time! The Falls trail is tough…. Need to wear proper hiking footwear and trekking poles are also really handy. I was thankful for the hiking boots I wore as they seemed to really grip the rocks. There is a lot of climbing, both down and up again. I tracked 4.41 miles and 1500’ climb down and 2200’ climb back up (all natural rock steps) from the Lake Rose Trailhead. It’s a rigorous hike, so bring lots of water and snacks. I wore a hydration backpack so water was always available when I needed it. It took us 4 hours with rests and extra time for photos at each waterfall. When I go back, I’m going to allocate the whole day so we can really take our time.

Visited on 3/29/24. A cool but very sunny day, right after a rainy day so the falls were more full but the trail was a little wet and slippery. We were traveling through PA and had time to do the Falls Trail. We parked at the Lake Rose Trailhead. It had restrooms but they were closed for the season and also several spots to park with overflow by the ranger station. There was also a restroom at the Ranger station. We were there around 8am and were only a few hikers there ahead of us. We started the trail going clockwise (going left at the fork) as most people went counterclockwise. Plus wanted the sun at our backs for the larger falls on the way back and walking into the falls on our way back up. This was one of the most beautiful trails I have ever hiked. We saw at least 20+ named and several smaller falls. This was classified as a moderate hike and I agree with that as it is well maintained and they have built in rock stairs along the Falls going down and coming back up. There is some minor scrambling to get closer to the falls. However almost every Fall you can get very close and right next to it, without going off trail in most cases. There was not a lot of vegetation yet and saw some pictures on how beautiful it is in Summer and Fall but you also have a better view of the Falls when there are no leaves on the trees. **Moderate Rating*** there are a lot of built in stairs as you have a lot of elevation down and back up and many of the steps you need to step down a bit and on up a bit on the way back up, large steps. You should have some hiking experience and be in decent shape to do this hike. When we were there it was light traffic but there were some people that should not have attempted this trail that were going to have significant troubles getting back up and putting themselves and possibly others at risk and slowing everyone else down. The trail, in most spots, is not wide enough for one person at a time. And again, a lot of elevation. Down at the bottom of the loop there were some benches that we sat at and had a lunch, we brought in, and had two falls in our view. This trail reminded us of a trail in Shanadoah and another in Glacier. A must see and do!

Going rustic was fun for first time camping. The park has many amenities including cabins if you need those instead of tent camping. You can book 11 months in advanced. Family camping this year was amazing. Great waterfall trails. Saw all 21 of them, about 12.5 miles. It's relaxing, don't let the 12 miles scare you. There is also a beach with watercraft rentals. The kids love it. It is in between two pond/ lakes so plenty of fishing. One of the best places I have ever been to and if it wasn't for my need to explore different places every year, we would go back. The Rangers are also amazing and friendly.

This was an amazing place great hike (6 mile round trip) falls trail let us see 22 waterfalls in total and a lot of steps lol I recommend it

I have been here several times. Great loop trail with around 24 waterfalls. The loop is approximately 3.5 miles. Lots of stairs, but not too difficult. The south parking lot off of HWY 118 adds an additional leg to reach the loop. The upper lot has a short leg before reaching the loop. There is also a trail section south of 118 that I have not walked. Great views and well worth the trip. The park can get busy, especially at the stairs. Hard structure restrooms are at the upper lot.

The beauty of Pa at its best. Ricketts Glen State Park is one of the best state parks in the United States. The pristine beach gets its water from Lake Jean. There is also a hiking trail some 7plus miles long that features various sizes of more than 20 waterfalls. It’s a sight to behold. The water is so clean and refreshing and worth taking a hike. Ricketts Glenn is a great place to take the family on a picnic or overnight stay. There is also a natural water spring located close by where you can fill up containers of water to take home. There are local eateries nearby to get pizza and a few ice cream shops that offer cold tasty treats. Visiting Ricketts Glenn State Park should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Four friends and I met up for a day hike at Ricketts Glen State Park in January to see the icy waterfalls. There are multiple parking lots. We chose the lot off of route 118, which was clearly marked and had a good amount of spots available to park.It is a short walk to the trailheads from the lot. The entrance to the falls trail was roped off and had closed signs clearly marked. You must have the proper gear to enter this area in the winter, or a park ranger may fine you if they catch you. Be prepared and bring an ice axe, rope, and crampons if you want to hike the falls trail in winter.Upon entering the trail you will see the river and a few small waterfalls as you walk toward the falls loop, which is about a mile and a half from the start. There are a few icy patches at the beginning of the trail, but it was not that treacherous. However, it was warm the days prior, which may have melted a lot of the ice. At the falls loop section of the trail, be prepared to climb approximately one thousand feet over a couple of miles. You will need your ice equipment on this section of the trail as most of the areas near the multiple falls are covered in slippery ice. Crampons are an absolute must!The views of the multiple falls are amazing and pictures do not do it justice as usually is the case. You will see the ice formations around the falls and on the steps leading up the trail. The trail is easy to follow but is moderately difficult if you are a novice hiker. The total distance I recorded on the trail was about 7.5 miles once we returned to the parking lot. We took our time and spent about 4 hours on the trail.We saw what appeared to be guided tours on the trail which groups of people carrying their ice equipment and helmets. We also saw a lot of other hikers and their dogs on the trail.I highly recommend Ricketts Glen Park if you like to get outdoors and hike moderately difficult terrain. You will not be disappointed in the views of the falls including Ganoga Falls which is 94 feet tall.

We love this place! The campground and waterfalls were great as usual. The only thing I'd recommend is that they restore the signs/ labels they used to have at each falls. We went to eight if them and only was still labeled as far as I could see. With so many falls, it is helpful to know for sure which one I am looking at.

I can say without equivocation that this state park is one of the most special places in Pennsylvania. The falls trail feels like you're hiking through a fantasy land, barely tamed. At times the trail is cut right into the side of the glen with the fall just out of arms reach next to you. If you go after a few days of rain, then you will be treated to a spectacular view of overflowing falls. One of the best hidden gems in the whole eastern US.However, be in decent shape and ready for a hard hike. It's about 6 miles of rugged rocky ground. Good shoes are a must and hiking sticks are recommended. You will descend it ascend about a 1000 feet and do the opposite on the way back. So be ready for a workout. But if you take your time and enjoy the falls you will find it not as difficult as it seems. At a leisurely pace it will take you anywhere from. 4-6 hours to complete. Plan accordingly and enjoy.

I wouldn’t have believed if someone told me a four mile trail has over 20 waterfalls. This trail literally has 20+ waterfalls that come in all sizes.- Trail Name: Ricketts Glen Falls Trail Loop.- Length: about 4 miles for roundtrip- Has steps, but not rocky- Parts of trail are muddy, and also slippery if you go too close to waterfalls. So hiking shoes are recommended- Parking can be tricky to find. Go as early as possible.Note: there’s one other trail with very very similar name but that’s 6.3 miles long with 1000ft elevation gain and I have no idea how many waterfalls it has.Ricketts Glen Falls Loop - 6.3 milesRicketts Glen Falls Trail Loop - 4 miles

This is nature's beauty at its finest. There are at least 20 waterfalls on this 2.5 to 3 mile hike. It's a moderate level hike. The waterfalls are breathtaking. The hike through the woods as well as along the stream is positively relaxing and gorgeous. This is a hike you can bring your kids with you but I would recommend 5 or older in age due to the steep steps and cliffs. Overall, I highly recommend this hiking location.

This park is absolutely gorgeous.The drive is a bit long, but it is a very scenic drive and well worth the investment.22 beautiful waterfalls await you on this trail.Make sure you go to the bathroom before you start the Falls Trail because there are no bathrooms once you start your hike.Also check the forecast before you go because you don't want to go on a rainy day, or even on a day where it rained the previous day, because thats how slippery the stone steps will get.Wear boots like Timbs if possible or a good non slip sneaker.If you want parking, go early. Earlier the better because this Park gets filled up quick!Great spot for a day trip, wherever you are coming from.

I arrived the same day as a light rain front.I waited a few more days hoping for the possibility of sunlight. After a full week of gray, drizzle ridden days, I left without ever seeing sunlight reflecting from the falls, or the brilliant rainbows floating in the mist.So much for expectations. That being said, being present throughout that time, I got to bear witness to the day to day lives of the birds, frogs, butterflies and other fauna in a way that I never could have otherwise.What a great place, with so many lessons to teach.

Great place to see a bunch of waterfalls on a single trail loop. We didn’t do much with the lake so one full day is enough at the park for the waterfalls. The campground was quiet even in the pet friendly section. Bathrooms in the pet friendly camping area could use a makeover but they were functional overall.

I love this park! The waterfall trail is gorgeous, and such a nice moderate walk. We bring the dogs with us, it wears them out pretty good!

The falls trail is great. We started at the top walked down half way and walked up the other side and saw most of the falls.

This is an absolutely amazing day of waterfall hiking! Interestingly enough, my friends and I had 2 versions of the waterfall trail hike on All Trails, the park map, and 2 websites with info about the hike and not one agreed with the mileage count or elevation stats that were recorded on the Garmin watch we wore. We parked at Rose Lake parking lot 41.329880, -76.291092. In at 8:30am on a predicted hot Sunday...parking lot was nearly empty...maybe 5 cars. Plenty of parking here. We walked counter clockwise beginning on the Ganoga Glen trail and I think this was a wise decision. Coming up Glen Leigh seemed easier than up Ganoga...and counter clockwise has you ending on the mostly flat, mostly smooth 1.3 miles of the Highland Trail. Much better to do this part on tired legs than fresh ones! Going down Ganoga is not easy. The trail has natural water running on it so ground can be wet and slippery. Many steps that are stumble step in nature. Rocks, roots, erosive trail edges. Going down takes focus. Do it while fresh. Its tough on the knees but worth every step. I highly recommend trekking poles if you have them!!! That third point of contact makes such a difference on this trail. Its also best done in hiking boots. When you reach Waters Meet do not cross bridge...continue straight for additional half mile to see the three remaining falls on this portion of the trail then about face and return to the bridge and Glen Leigh trail. This is an excellent spot for lunch or a snack to recharge. While trail is often wet, its rarely muddy. Bugs werent bad either unless we sat for a few. Every waterfall was flowing well and is absolutely beautiful. Dont miss any. At end of Glen Leigh do not take short cut or you miss Onondaga Fall and its worth seeing. Short cut doesnt save you much at all. A GREAT hike. Moderate to challenging depending in your fitness level. Bring plenty of water you will need it. Bathroom at trailhead only.

Like fall foliage? Check out the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway in historic Jim Thorpe, PA, in the Pocono Mountains. About 90-min. from Philly, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway offers a quick (45-min roundtrip) trip back in time, when rail travel ruled. We opted for the open-air car ($20/adult) which allows you to feel the brisk fall air, as the vintage train gently winds along the scenic Lehigh River gorge. Although the colors were not nearly at 'peak' as the state foliage maps predicted, it was still very nice (Oct. 9th). The website says the train ride is narrated, but it was so loud and crowded (sold out during Fall Foliage Festival!), we couldn't hear it the whole time. So, if your planning to ride during the Fall Foliage Festival weekends, just know it'll be on the loud & crowded side, not necessarily "relaxing." The trip IS fun, and once more leaves start changing, I'm sure it must look spectacular!

The state forest is beautiful even in winter so I can only imagine during the warm season. The train is really pretty from the outside and well kept. We stayed in the dome, which I highly recommend, and it ha very comfortable seats. The only small complaint is that, even if it was the first train of the day, it seemed like it wasn't cleaned the day before; there were a few crumbs on the floor, and the tables and windows had fingerprints.The trip consists in half an hour one way, stop for about 10 minutes, and then half an hour back. It is a very cool scenery.There was Santa walking and taking pictures and the kids on the train loved it.The staff was kind and friendly.There is a trail that runs along the railway and keeps going and if I ever go back to Jim Thorpe I'd definitely choose to bring the bike and ride it.

With the completion of a railroad bridge across the Lehigh River in Jim Thorpe in 2005, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway was born.The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway continues Jim Thorpe’s rich railroading history, which dates back to the Switchback Railroad that opened in 1827 to haul coal from mines down to the canals along the Lehigh River.Jim Thorpe is at the heart of the Pocono Mountains, and the scenic railway is the crown jewel. Whether you’re here for the colorful face of fall or the sweet breeze of spring, there’s never a bad time to experience the thrill of the Poconos.Trains leave year-round from the historic Mauch Chunk Station, which was built by the Central Railroad of New Jersey in 1888.It features vintage stage coaches updated to meet modern standards of comfort. The entire trip is narrated, giving you a rundown of the area’s storied past and pointing out all the can’t-miss landmarks.Explore the beauty of the Pocono Mountains like never before. Comfortable, vintage coaches built as early as 1917 are pulled by diesel engines through breathtaking places on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway.During the regular season (though we went in summer, i thought Fall is the best season), ride the rails from Jim Thorpe into Lehigh Gorge State Park. The narrated out-and-back trip follows the majestic Lehigh River over bridges and into the Lehigh Gorge State Park. The view along this magnificent route changes with the seasons.Even if you aren’t riding this train, make sure to take a few minutes to enjoy this beautiful station and the bustling square around it.Stats:Ticket: $24/adultDuration: 70 Mins (to & fro)Coach: I preferred an Open coach. though there are AC coaches as wellPets: You can even bring dogs along for free on this 70-minute drive!Parking: municipal parking is available, $12/day. But if you find a parking slot in the streets it's only $1/hr. so try to reach there early morning for cheap parking and also to avoid late rush otherwise sometimes it takes 45 mins-1 hour to enter in this town on weekends.

My little family loves to go on scenic trains everywhere we go. I was very pleased with the ride. We even got to see a little waterfall. We all had a blast! We sat in the open car, which was nice. We got a great breeze and were able to get up and move around while the train was in motion. I was able to bring drinks and snacks onto the train, which was great. The employees were very knowledgeable and very nice. I would definitely go again in the fall this time.

A Fantastic Experience on the Jim Thorpe Train Ride!I took the Jim Thorpe train ride on a Saturday 3pm schedule, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From start to finish, the trip was both scenic and relaxing. The train travels through some of the most picturesque landscapes, offering stunning views of the Lehigh Gorge and the natural beauty of the area. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall charm of the journey. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the ride in the bubble top car. The souvenir tickets are cool. The windows on the car could have benefited from a good cleaning. The seats flip around so you can face forward both ways of the out and back trip. And the ticket guy was a spitting image of my wife's uncle :)

The town itself is what sells this attraction. There is a great atmosphere and the locals do wonderful job of keeping up with the town. As far as the scenic tour on the rail way. It's to be desired. The cars could use some maintenance/ updating. Especially for the money that you're paying for an upgraded ticket. The seats were completely destroyed. I'm sure during peak fall season the views from the rail car are stunning.

The scenery was nice, but when it said "round trip" I thought it meant like an entire circle. Unfortunately you stop for a few minutes at the end and then have to turn around and see all the same things you saw on the way into the woods. It made us very sleepy and was a little boring. The trains are really cool and getting pictures was really cool. We paid a little extra to have more comfortable seats and I definitely wish we had paid for the bubble seats. Also, don't use the bathroom on the train if you can help it. It was basically like peeing into a bucket. Very weird.

We rode in the air conditioned Dome car which was comfortable, clean and gorgeous however, in summer the foliage partially obscures the view of some things. Try to sit on the river side if possible. The commentary from our engineer was a bit flatly delivered but definitely pointed out all the sights and was extremely knowledgeable. The best part of the experience is the staff. They're all friendly and knowledgeable and love to share their expertise with the trains. Jamie, our car Host took the time to explain the history of the Done car we were riding in as well as some history of trains in the Gorge and Pa. Kaitlyn, who was working the ticket booth patiently helped me find out reservation as we lost our print out and she explained how handicapped loading would help me board the train and Robert, one of the other hosts pulled the lift over and got me and my husband and several other people with mobility issues safely onto and off of the train. Wonderful experience all around, highly recommend!

It was fascinating to visit a place with a rich history. Railroad carriages have been restored to a great quality. All the staff were very friendly. The conductors were very helpful. The audio guide about the tour was great but because we have traveled on an open couch it was hard to understand. I would place more speakers in the open carriage. Had plants of restrooms. Will return during the autumn to discover the colors.

There is a reason gridlock was reported trying to get into Jim Thorpe, PA on Oct 28, 2023. The train ride during Fall leaf season is incredible popular. According to the people selling tickets after Saturday, they sold out the day within 90 minutes. The ticket window opened at 9 and by 10:30 or so they were sold out. During leaf season, it's a 45 minute ride leaving every 2 hours from 11 AM with the last train departing at 5 PM.Outside of leaf season it's a 2 hour ride.That staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable - outstanding, even. Highly recommended.

Well-organized and nicely-appointed train cars. Choice of three options: closed cars with windows that open and seats like a school bus; open cars with sideways-seating on wooden benches; and plusher seats in climate-controlled cars. We selected the last, but wish I had gone on the open car with the sideways seats. I found that if you are taking photos, the flash will reflect off of the windows and ruin your pictures.While the experience was enjoyable, we expected a ride that showed more scenery at or above the treeline. The out and back trip seemed pretty short. I didn't care for the constant narration -- it was difficult to hear, and therefore, it was somewhat annoying to me. All in all, it was a nice experience, but could be improved.

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.

We LOVED this beautiful and informative train ride along the river and through the mountains! Your choice of various accommodations, from open air, to panoramic. Train is located right in olde downtown, so park & walk around before and after your ride. WE PICKED THE GLASS DOME CEILING FIR THE VIEW & the air conditioning.

The Jim Thorpe train ride was a must for us this year when we found out it was dog friendly. It is hard to find new things to do with our dog in the cold. This was definitely worth it. From purchasing tickets our pup got her very only ticket and we were in our on train car. Our conductor was WONDERFUL Brian went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time for the entire 70 minutes. I highly recommend.

It was absolutely gorgeous! Went late October and the leaves were just barely past their peak—which meant some leaves had fallen which actually gave a better view of the river along the route. We rode in the open air train. Dogs are allowed on the train. Very scenic ride. In the open air cars you can stand and walk around if you like. Narrated through out the 45 minute ride out and back to the station. Highly recommend!

This is fun train ride in Jim Thorpe. I would highly recommend to come at least 30 min before to get train tickets as they don’t sell online. Also, parking in here is big problem. Coming bit early can help you to multitask with one person finding parking and other getting ticket. There is municipal parking but get full as train departure come close. I would highly recommend seating on right side facing engine.

I have been anticipating this trip since pre-COVID. However, I was not as thrilled over the experience as I thought I'd be. To start I believe the best seats are the standard seats because in the dome car you pretty much have to stand the entire time in order to see the view. The view mainly consisted of trees and the river not much else. Supposedly, the best time to take this trip is around late fall/winter when the leaves fall so you can see more. The staff was super pleasant! We were late for our original reservation and they were able to move our reservation to the next train time. It is worth a trip but definitely during the right time. Parking is available but tricky to find so get there early and pay for your parking space.

Great train ride. We did the dome car which was great. They only sell enough tickets to cover the upper deck so there's no fighting to get a seat. There's a lower deck but not as scenic. In my opinion the right side of the car (opposite of station) has the best views.

On our weekend fall trip to the Poconos mountains, this was surely the most beautiful experience!Parking: On weekends, unless you reach very early, there is almost zero chance of getting parking close to the train station. If you don't mind walking for about 30 minutes, the best place to park for free would be close to the Lehigh Gorge trail bridge. We walked past the most wonderful views and fall colours!Train: The train leaves every hour, starting from 10am and we picked the open trolley. The tickets cost us $24 each and you have to purchase it in the station (not available online). For best views, do sit on the opposite side of the train station from where you board although you can move around in the open car. The ride lasted 45 minutes and we were awestruck by the pretty views!Others: The Jim Thorpe Fall festival (food, live music, shops) also happens right next to the train station!

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.

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.

Lovely ride in a lovely town. A must if you go to the Poconos to vacation. Highly recommend the dome option, it offers a lovely view. We went for Easter and the Easter bunny was there bringing a smile to everyone, even to us without kids. But my favorite part is definitely the conductors punching your ticket old-fashioned style, interacting with people, and telling wonderful stories. It’s definitely worth it. One thing—do arrive with plenty of time before the ride! Even if you bought tickets online, you need time to park and go to the ticket booth as you need to collect your physical, old-fashioned ticket to get it punched at the train, which is part of the experience and the only way you get access to the train. It is pretty quick as they just scan your barcode and give you the tickets right away, but obviously you need to wait in line.The Jim Thorpe town where the station is at is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of places to shop and dine. On warmer days bike rentals are available, but you can also walk the trails and even kayak or fish at the Leigh River. It was a really nice day trip for us.

Very nice and interesting experience!! Loved the old time feels and all of the effort made by the staff. I will say though it was very difficult to hear the man overhead giving the narrations! The train itself is quite loud. We chose the Vista-Class dome car and the seating was comfortable! I think this train ride would be a great experience during the fall months!

Rode the train to see the fall colors. The open car was chilly but had great views of the river and the fall colors. There was enclosed car seating available. The town was having a festival with lots of vendors in the park and live band stages. There's a big parking lot near the train station for a fee. It's very busy in the fall, so get there early because the line gets long, and tickets are first come first serve. The price was high and the train ride shorter than expected, but it was worth it for the views. There is access to the rail trail from the parking lot at the train station, and it has great views of the river as well.

It was exciting to see an "old school" train and the atmosphere was enjoyable. The scenic views were not all that exciting. The children had more fun running up and down the aisles (our train/car) was a bit empty so allowable. Probably more exciting to walk around the small town and see the homes in the area. In my honest opinion, this ride would be worth it for about $10 -$15 per adult and not the $22 that we paid.

This was an awesome Christmas time experience. Jim Thorpe and the train station were beautifully lit and cheerful, like a scene set in a Hallmark movie. Take the train! Lovely ride through the gorge with history narration by the conductor. Santa visited too. Christmas jingles with a live guitarist. First class was worth it. Comfortable seating and the train has bathrooms.

This was a must see and do! Spend the extra money and sit in first class. So worth the experience and ability to be more spread out to take photos and enjoy the ability to step back into time. Five stars experience for our family! Buy your tickets in advance and tour the town!

A wonderful ride through beautiful country with fun y and informative tour guides. We rode in the dome car which offered great views while being protected from the rain. Definitely something to check out if you're in the area.

My family and I went on the Santa Train a few weeks ago. It was our first time on the railway and we had an amazing time! The scenery was beautiful, the cars on the train were so kept up/clean and the volunteers were so friendly and insightful. I loved the souvenir train tickets and the conductor playing Christmas music on his own guitar. I definitely want to go back as soon as possible!

It was a beautiful Saturday bike ride. The weather was cooperative. 73 degrees with partial clouds. The train ride was comfortable, bikes were loaded. It was a very scenic train ride. Unloaded in Whitehaven then biked back to Jim Thorpe.

It's a beautiful train ride nothing special. Good for kids. No fun. Just sit and come back. Nothing to do really except watch few views. Parking next to station is paid $15 for the day.

The view on the river side was good. It’s good idea to buy ticket in advance to minimize the waiting time . When you drive you get more splendid views. For a first timer in a train you may enjoy it. Prior riding to the train, you will get a chance to stretch legs, get a bite to eat and visit shops. Highly recommend riding the train!

We had so much fun. The crew member in our car was very knowledgeable and friendly. Shared great information about the area and history. You could tell that he loved his job and was wonderful.

It was a very bright day. . . Very sunny and I felt all the colours of the nature was washed out. . . Didn't enjoy it much. . . Maybe should try during fall or a partially cloudy day. . . The trip felt short though it was a 70mins ride. . . I liked the convertible seats on the train where u can change the position of it so that u can face along the direction of the trains motion. . .

On July 20, 2024 my friends and I went on a train ride tickets were $24 per person and the train ride was supposed to be around Jim Thorpe and an educational tour. Which we paid for a 70 minute train ride during that 70 minutes, There was nothing educational. Their speakers did not work and they couldn’t tell us anything about Jim Thorpe or, the train or, the wall that we saw the entire ride we were actually on train ride for 15 to 20 minutes. While the rest of the train ride was us still on the train tracks for over 20 minutes while they switched the front of the train to the opposite side to just take us back in a straight line. It was very unorganized. The train ride was cut down to a back-and-forth track which we got to see nothing but the man made wall, Rock walls and some part of the mountain. Absolutely nothing was able to be seen through the train ride felt like you were in a tunnel. The entire time everyone on the train was complaining. And we were ignored multiple times by the train crew-members, when we were asking what are we supposed to be seeing. As well as what is this train? What is the purpose of this train ride? None of them can give us an actual answer. This was a complete waste of money. Honestly, do not buy tickets. It is seriously not worth it unless you’re actually going somewhere using the train. If you’re just taking, don’t even bother, we had a more scenic time to find parking than we did on the train ride that was $24 per person and I went with a group of eight. I do not recommend the train.

What a beautiful train ride. I did 1st class with the kids and dog which reminds you of an old ice cream shop. It's super cute. You get a free drink and snack. Next time I'll do the dome car. You can bring food on the train but get there early for a table. The scenery was beautiful. I definitely recommend spring or fall though.

The scenic railway is a good experience, but sadly, there is nothing much to enjoy. Yes, it's a historic train ride. They do run steam engines as well on selected dates, ride is a good experience of time and history, but the route and scene are not much to enjoy. It's about a 70-minute ride, and after 15 minutes, it gets boring. Nothing out of this world or something unique, just ok to go once, but that's it. The station is also nothing, just a room to buy tickets and that's it.

Great family outing! We went on Mother's Day. It was crowded but nothing crazy. The parking lot is a bit confusing but there was an attendant who was extremely helpful and friendly. There are multiple kiosks to pay at. Some accept cash, some credit cards. You will need to enter your license plate or last name. It was $15 for 24 hours. Not the greatest deal if you only plan to be there for a short time but definitely worth it for an all day excursion. Most restaurants are walking distance from the parking lot (Broadway Grille, Irish Pub, hibachi restaurant). All the staff at the station were very friendly and knowledgeable. It is not the most organized system but don't let that discourage you, the overall experience is wonderful. The train was comfortable and the staff gives great knowledgeable commentary on board. Purchase your train ticket online ahead of time to ease the process. You will need to present your online purchase at the ticket booth to receive paper copies that are collected onboard.

Had a great time here last February! They've got a bunch of different and fun hills to go down it's hard to get bored with all their options! Bathrooms were super clean and so was there cafeteria. We didn't go to the main Lodge so it made finding the right way to a ski lift a little tricky but we got the hang of it. can't wait to get back at it this winter hope to see you there!

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!

Really great resort! Clean, friendly staffed, busy but there was plenty of room for all riders. Lots of great food and retail options. The gear shop in the base lodge was well stocked with good gear. The lodge at the top of the mtn had a great bar and lots of seating. As well as outdoor heating availability. 5☆

Camping sites were so nice n clean. Apple space for tents in one camping site, you can have multiple. Restrooms and showers were on 2 to 3 minutes walk, they were nicely maintained and clean. Adventure park is one of the best activity to be done here apart from trail and chairlift ride!!

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!).

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!

A bit crowded, and most people are not wearing masks... they have snowboarding, skiing and snow tubing here. Friendly staff for the most part, I only tried tubing so not sure about the others. It was fun when the lines are shorter, go early since it gets more crowded after lunch time. Their scanning machine breaks a lot so it might not always work when you go through. For snow boarding and skiing, buy lift tickets early before prices go up!

Resort is normal. I can't say that it is fantastic, because I saw much better places, but for domestic skiing is ok.Also I saw a lot of people whonsit on the center of the road. I think need create some warn signs, that's this is stupid and not safety. Also explain this for parents

One of the best places to go for snow tubing. Staffs are super nice and helpful. I just have a couple of comments; (1) Ticket prices are the same for all ages and this isn't fair, because how come 3 yrs old pay as much as an adult!? (2) They should have a new cancellation policy and refund because people get sick or change their minds or for whatever reason, they can't go, Blue Mountain administration should have a policy for refund and cancellation. (3) If you scan your tickets one time at the door, I think that should be enough so I don't have to get my ticket out of my pockets every time I go back up, think about families and young kids who can't do that regularly, I think 1 time scan the tickets should be pretty enough. Otherwise, it's a nice place!

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.

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.

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 🤪

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

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.

First time camping at a PA state park. We had a non electric pet site for $24 (with a discount but also a service fee 🤷🏼) Chose one of the few gravel sites available. Close to the road but no noise after dark. Pit toilets were rough, honestly expected better from a state park. Lots of mixed use trails which was nice. The boulder field was cool. Road in very pot holed.

Been to Hickory Run a number of times over the years. The trails are great. Hawk falls is always nice in rain, shine or snow. There's a decent size lake you can swim in that has bathrooms and concession. I've tent camped here before and had no issues: Good sized sites, clean facilities, easy check in. During peak season the campground has a well stocked store. Would highly reccomend this park.

Date of visit: Sunday July 30, 2023. This was my second visit to this wonderful park. The park was quite busy unlike my first visit. This time there were tourists standing in the waterfalls and climbing the boulders. The first time I visited it seemed like I had the place to myself. Today I could not believe all the risky people walking on all the rocks. The park's waterfalls are amazing. Best to visit in the fall during the week not on a summer weekend when the park is not so crowded.

We hiked to Hawk Falls as a warm-up, then did a quick drive to the Shades of Death trail. The first was easy with beautiful falls, the second proved a little more difficult, but was a moderate hike, and more gorgeous falls. We ended with a cookout in the picnic area by the lake. All in all a great day!

Oh it’s such a lovely place to hike or just sit and pen down your thoughts. Fall season is definitely the best. But I recommend wearing full covered clothes to avoid getting ticks, insect bites and thorn scathing. I would suggest driving up here early in the morning and enjoying your day until early evening. The place is full of mushrooms but be careful, do not consume without verifying their toxicity status.

Best place for to see the Fall foliage in the Poconos for us. Lots of hikes and activities within 30 min. Staff is always great, and other campers are always so friendly. Dog friendly and room for bigger RVs. Most of the sites were well spaced. And the dump stations were easy to get into and out of for any size RV.

Great campsite with a lot to do. The site is well maintained with trash, showers, and bathrooms. The sites have a good amount of room and come with fire pits. Cabins are available as well. Many close by trails and scenic views. While I was there recently, I went to the Boulder Field and Hawk Falls. Got to see a Porcupine and a bear!

It’s a beautiful state park, and I really enjoyed my camp site (my second trip here). However, I think the park has some issues. First, the bathrooms need updated. Although they functioned well and the showers were warm, they need to be brought up to date like most other state parks have. A side note, maintenance kept opening all the windows and propping the entrance door open. Not sure why they do that but it makes for a really cold bathroom use.Second, there is no rhyme or reason to the trail system in this entire park. Most trails aren’t marked very well, and most of them connect to nothing or each other for that matter. So it’s really hard to day hike in the park without driving around to many parking areas just to piece together a worthwhile day of hiking.Lastly, I noticed that a lot of sites on the lower end may have some drainage issues. If you’re tenting and expecting rain, make sure you set up in a good spot or you might have a river run through it. Oh, and there are some very dead trees with widow makers around where I camped in the lower sites. Just look up before you set up.The park is absolutely beautiful. Visit if you get a chance. These are just my thoughts.

I visited this park for the lake beach and it reminds me of Promised Land farther north. It has bathrooms, changing rooms and showers, and a concession stand that's open for the season already. The water is shallow and is safe even for very young children. And the beach is surprisingly large for the size of the lake. This is probably the best lake recreation area in the southern Poconos.

We spent the weekend tent camping here. The bathrooms were kept clean through the weekend. There are a lot of different hiking options around and the small museum in the visitors center was fun to walk around. The campsite was clear of any trash left behind by other people. Most of the camp sites were far enough apart that you didn’t feel like you were right next to your neighbors. Showers were on the colder side and water pooled a bit on the floor. Overall a great experience camping here and would recommend it to others.

We just stopped by for the night while we were traveling but from what we saw it was very nice. They have a huge visitor center and even though we were there at 10 at night a ranger stopped by and helped us to figure out what sites were open and where to go. We got a site with full hookups which was nicely spaced out from the neighbors. There is a lake there which we didn't take the time to see and looked like some hiking trails as well. Short stop over for us but I would definitely stop there again.

This is an absolutely stunning and massive park. We only scratched the surface and will definitely come back. They have wonderful visitor center, guided weekend walks and talks, 40 miles of hiking, a huge boulder field, swimming, fishing, camping (some dog friendly zones), and nice facilities. And they also provide level 2 EV charging stations. 10/10 will go again.

Nice park. Mostly for small rigs or tents. Some full hookup. Some sites close together. Big rigs should not go by directions given from web from I-80; turn around a boulder was hairy if someone coming at you. Go on rt 115, to 903 to 534. Longer but wider roads.

Picked the perfect day to go on a nice hike with the family. We walked a very easy trail. It was about a mile each way from the parking lot to the small waterfall. Weather was cool which made walking very comfortable. My 7 year old really enjoyed it and so did I.

Went camping here for the first time. Very nice secluded campground for a Pa state park. We've camped at different Pa State Parks and most have been noisy with small children and a certain demographic that plays loud cultural music. Most other parks we've stayed at were fairly cleared out of trees because of diseased trees. This one is thick with trees as it should be for a campground. We'll be going back here until this one changes as well.

Nice park and waterfall. The waterfall hike is quick and easy. No swimming allowed. Wear water shoes or crocs or trevas for the end. Ppl were having difficulty with pictures at the waterfall due to wearing sneakers. Many rocks in water, hard to keep your feet from getting wet with crowds. I had tevas on, so I was fine.It gets crowded quickly, go early. It is a quick visit if you are in the area. The hike is shaded. It gets crowded, so taking pictures is tough with the crowd. Not worth a long drive.

Has something for everyone. Hiking trails for every level of hiker. As we were there in earlyMay and during the week, we saw few people and happy to say no bear encounters. The first place we could pull off to park had a few trails and we were the only ones on them. The were gorgeous and the trail we were on was intermediate. Then we found the visitors center and moved in to go see the waterfall. The visitors center is lovely with a small interactive area that my son enjoyed. We are our picnic lunch outside of it with our two dogs. The short hike to the waterfall was easy enough for us. I do recommend a good hiking shoe no matter where you go. It’s worth the time to read about possible bear encounters as well. We barely saw a quarter of the park and hiked for almost four hours. I look forward to going back again.

Great state park with lots to do on-site! Shades of Death was one of many beautiful hikes, and the welcome center has lots of history/ interactive museum displays. Bushkill Falls was a close drive away for even more adventuring.

This turned out to be one of the nicest state parks I’ve been to. I spent two nights here on the way home from New Hampshire. Very woodsy, cool, shady. The visitor center is fantastic. Make sure you take a few minutes to go look around in there. If you love tent camping, you will like this campground. I will be returning!

Beautiful state park for outdoor picnic with friends, there is man made small beach where kids and adults can jump into water. Nice trekking trail.

We started our walk on the Shades of Death trail to the waterfall. It was gorgeous 😍. Kept going till we got to a stone staircase that went uo to a small Boulder field. Turned around. Maybe 2 hour walk? So pretty. Def go!

Awesome hiking area! Lots of pretty waterfalls and very well kept trails! There is a playground near the camping area and the area is pet friendly which is a must for us! Couple of little picnic areas scattered around! Will def be back!

My wife and I decided to take a drive with the family just to see new places and, on the way,came across hickory run state park.At first, I thought it was just another state park, but we decided to check it out anyway.To my surprise, the park was beautiful, the swim area and field were amazing, and it was full of families bathing, doing bar b que, picnicing. We loved it. The kids went crazy.We will definitely be returning very soon.

Really pretty park, but very busy and a bit difficult to navigate. Some awesome scenery and the visitor center is great! Went to the Boulder field and a couple other spots. Huge park with many hiking trails and other things to see. Would recommend going on a weekday if you want to find parking at the falls trail. We only visited the park today.

Very large park with great hikes to wonderful sites. The park itself gets 5 stars. The campground gets 3 because it is close to the park road, a bath house was being constructed and work with heavy equipment started at 7am even though quiet time was supposed to be until 8am, and the website for the campground and some sites contain incorrect information about the features of sites and the dump station closure date. Beautiful flora- Rhododendron and mountain laurel everywhere on the trails.

Great park for moderate hikes. Several trails to choose from. We did Shades of Death. It was very scenic. Worth checking out. It's a pretty easy trail. Moderate difficulty at most.

This is by far one of Pennsylvania's hidden gems! 16,000 acres, 40 miles of hiking throughout the park, natural wonders to behold, an awesome Visitor Center and Exhibit Hall, and a wonderful, caring staff. This is a must-visit place, put it on your list.

Really nice park. Has everything. Camping, hiking, a lake for swimming in the summer, an 18 basket disc golf course, fishing. Plus the Boulder field and some nice surprises on some of the trails.

My family and I loved the park itself and the views. It was great to finally get some swimming in however the water was ice cold. Boulder field was great and so was the time in the woods. Concessions were a bit pricey but they always are, bring a cooler and you'll be fine.

Located north of Jim Thorpe, PA. No park fee. Head to Visitors Center first. Get a lay of the land and decide how to tackle what you want to do. We decided to do several shorter hikes. First, we drove further on Rt 54 to Skyline trail and found a picturesque view of the Lehigh River Gorge. Next, we backtracked to the turnoff to Boulder Field. We stopped enroute to see Hickory Run Lake. Very lovely setting. Then on to Boulder Field where we learned how an advancing giant glacier during the Ice Age created this amazing field of boulders. After venturing out onto these precarious rocks we headed back to the VC. After a snack we walked a beautiful trail called Shades of Dead, which is to the left of the building. We chose to shorten the hike by turning around at the second pond. Final stop was on our way out of the park at the Hawk Falls. Another great trail with a great destination. The falls and river setting was very nice. Hickory Run SP is a wonderful place to spend a day in the beauty of nature.

Very pleasant and scenic hike (maybe 1 mile, not too bad ~20 min. Stunning waterfall!

I love this place. You wouldn't believe there is a nature area like this only 5 minutes from a city, but it's true. Beautiful cliffs, a river, and, of course, small, deep, pools of water called tubs. The main trail is about 2 miles long and takes less than 2 hours to hike if you stop for photos and snacks :) I have bad knees and feet, and it was definitely manageable. Peaceful, clean, and gorgeous with ample parking.

Great place to hike and take a dip in a cool mountain stream and relax. Hiking around the tubs themselves can be slippery and you definitely don't want to fall over the edge and into some of those tubs. The longer loop is a nice walk, felt like more than the 2 miles it was but that's probably me just getting old. Most people are hanging out around the tubs. Parking is somewhat limited.

Didn't get the full experience due to winter conditions (Trails/bridges ice over) but, although I couldn't exactly access the tub views, the area is expansive enough with other parks/natural areas bordering it so I was able to make a whole day of it. Perfect exploring trip with a dash of railroad history, including an abandoned line /repurposed track bed and a great spot to watch an active rail line. Also, a few spots where you'll find evidence of some long gone industry, eg: graded land, building foundations, etc.Overall, the park was nearly pristine, gorgeous, with accessible trails (if not for the ice), and even a porta-potty.. which is almost unheard of during the off season 😄Looking forward to coming back when everything is thawed!

The inner hiking trail is gorgeous, and where you can see the 7 tubs and numerous waterfalls. It is less than 0.5 miles but steep in places. The outer Audubon loop is about 2 miles and also very cool.

Really nice park. Was impressed by the waterfalls. Pretty views but be prepared to hike over rocks and have good footwear. It was a little wet when we were there so we didn't explore everything I would have liked to.

Seven Tubs is a beautiful area that I wished I allowed more time to explore. They noted a 1.8 mile easy trail that we attempted in the late afternoon in June. It was stunning and had peaceful trails once you got away from the local swimming hole by the parking lot. We didn't finish the trail, and would like to go back to try again. A few things to note:1. Wear hiking shoes. There are steep sections in this hike that is difficult even in sneakers.2. There is one section of the trail with a very steep metal grate steps to go down, and it is very scary looking since you can see through the steps. Children, elderly or those with mobility issues should not attempt this.3. There are wooden bridges that have rather large gaps between the boards where your foot could easily go through. Be careful. (See picture)4. Parts of the trail literally goes over smooth rock, which has water dripping over it in wet seasons, so it can be very slippery. Bring hiking poles. (See picture of husband helping son over slippery section.)5. While people swim there, I don't think I would recommend it due to the slippery nature of the rocks.

The recreational area is OPEN! We visited the 7 tubs on Sunday, April 14th 2024. The new paved road and parking lots were opened, although there were still some construction machinery on the side of the road. They now have marked pedestrian crossings and a pedestrian lane on the main road. The new restrooms are spacious, nice and clean. There is a paved path to the main bridge so anyone with mobility issues can easily access that viewing area.

Excellent site. Short easy hike near the highway. Perfect for a short break or a whole day adventure. Beautiful fall foliage, well maintained trails, and easy parking made Seven Tubs an absolute delight. We can not wait to return in warmer weather. Photos do not do the site justice.

Nice small nature trail. Some steep, slippey areas.

Close to the parking lot is a tall waterfall that dumps into a shallow pond that has become a rather overcrowded swimming area, but further down Laurel Run is a much more isolated spot in which the water runs rapidly over a very smooth rocky surface. In other words, this place I’m describing is a natural waterslide. Unless you know by heart where this hidden spot is, it can be almost impossible to find, for the trails aren’t clearly marked at all. That makes it unlikely for this natural waterslide to get crowded, which is actually great because it allows you to have the opportunity to slide down the creek as many times as you would like.Recently, on my way back from that hidden spot, I encountered a wild porcupine in the middle of the trail. It was standing there motionless, with its quills raised, prepared to defend itself against any predator that got too close. I guess it thought that I was a predator, so I kept my distance away from it. I was still thrilled by this creature sighting, especially considering that I rarely ever see porcupines roaming free in the wild!

Great park. Go early and explore the different pools and falls. Trails are paved up to the bridge, then they become more difficult. At times the trails can be steep and unstable. Some of the pools are large enough to dip your toes in and even go under. Water is cold year round. There are portable bathrooms at the main parking lot but no other facilities.

Great area, large. Nice paths, hilly in some spots. A little buggy

Cool place to visit you can hike on the trails and go see the waterfalls .

Very beautiful hike! We stopped on our way through Pennsylvania. You can take the shorter or longer loop which was nice because we were short on time. I’m sure this place gets busy in the summer but we only saw a couple other people on our hike. Beautiful waterfalls and pools. We saw some cool mushrooms!Please pick up your litter! How people can disrespect nature is beyond me.

I love the outdoors especially t during the spring season. I visited te Tubs for the first time on Wednesday May 22, 2024 and was amazed in what I saw. The waterfalls and streams have a calming effect. Bring your camera and don't forget your cane. The trails are challenging and the rocks can be slippery even when dry so bring a walking device. Paved parking lot.

Beautiful waterfalls. Lots of signage- easy to find. Upon arrival, there’s a parking lot just across from the trail head. The trail is paved across the stream. There’s a steep incline, but it’s an easy climb down and up, just wear good shoes.

Great area. Crew was there working in maintaining the trails. Great to get away from the hustle of life. Beautiful scenery so close to home. Only complaint I would have is there are bo trash cans in the parking area and as a result not everyone takes their trash home.

I stopped here for a quick visit before a doctor's appointment, and WOW!! The entire area was so beautiful. I loved that you could see the falls almost immediately. We didn't have to hike out for 30 minutes to see the beautiful falls, it was just a quick walk. There's a cute bridge to walk over, and there's some landscaping done to make it easier to walk down to the water. I was so amazed and impressed.We decided to just take a quick look, so we were only here for about 30 minutes. But it seems like there's a 2 mile loop, and a much longer loop for the more experienced hiker.

I saw that they had reopened, and having never been, we went for a drive and to take a Sunday hike. Really nice trails, moderately challenging in some areas. Lots of places you can access the water features and explore.Not for the faint of heart! Wear sturdy hiking shoes and use common sense.Be prepared to carry your trash out.

Large parking area. Breath taking park ! Stopped here for a quick hike since a patient canceled on me - unfortunately , I removed my hiking gear from the car yesterday lol. Do not do this hike like me in scrubs & croc’s ! (I still made it safely being mindful). That being said ; hiking shoes or boots a must ! See water on the trail in attached photos . The map at the parking area is useless . So - I went down the right side <.25 mile before I approached a Ladie & asked her route. She walk approx 1hr (to the RIGHT) with no water falls or bridges. So I immediately backtracked . Head to the left , you will then come to a bridge with marvelous falls (literally <1/4 mile). From the bridge you can go left our right (loop trail doesn’t matter which way u choose) . I chose to go right ; I highly recommend completing the trail from right to left due to ascents & descents . Approx 2 mile absolutely beautiful hike directly alongside the water run . Plenty of places to explore & a fantastic place to soak in Mother Nature . Be mindful of your steps this time of year!!! Can be dangerous , lots of rocks , trails often run on the edge of the water . Take your time and you will be glad you did . The yellow blazes are marked on the trees only . Throughout the hike the blazes will change from yellow to blue without rhythm , rhyme or reason . Just stay the course blue or yellow and follow all yellow blazes when available . I went on a Tuesday around 2pm . I encountered 3 separate groups of people only (all went from left to right at the bridge) . 90% of the hike was just me & nature baby !!Older individuals and/or non-avid hikers will have no problem going from the parking lot to the bridge to see the water fall (wouldn’t proceed farther) . There is two separate trails (very very short) off to the right before the bridge that allow direct access to lower call area .Crystal clear water . Beautiful fall leaves . Fall fungi . Easy hike for the avid .(Not much trash but lots of glass)If my travels allow; I’ll be back ❣️💪🏼

I was in the Forty Foot area and had a couple hours to spare so I decided to visit the preserve. This is a great place for hiking and just enjoying nature. At the beginning of the trail, you can see the waterfall which is amazing. If going hiking, make sure to have the proper footwear because the yellow trail is not a smooth path. Definitely worth a visit.

Awesome trail with scenic views; bordering a pristine creek with multiple cascades, appropriate for a cooling and enjoyable swim.

My family and I had a great time on our vacation. Rooms were clean, and a decent size for 4 of us. Customer service , I have mixed feelings most were amazing, and others seemed like we were bothering them if asked a question or needed something. But still had great time. Even went back the next year!! A lot of fun!

Stayed at the resort, main hotel, with family (12/25-12/28) Besides the check in being an absolute disaster. Long lines, freezing temps, and no easy online check in system. Which you may have read about by now. The common areas where cold, including arcade, back play area and even store. I did not use the theater, but my wife and older son said it was unbearable. Even workers where wearing coats. The store was barely stocked, and over priced. The one elevator in the main entrance seemed at best like it would stop working at any given moment. I honestly think if they are having trouble staffing, they need to abandon the remaining part of the town center and focus on hotel service alone. Would I stay again. Not at the town center, but possibly at the off site lodges. They are easy to use, offer a little apartment like room with kitchen and easier for those who are just coming to ski. They don’t offer frills, but split rock can’t handle the frills at this time. We didn’t even try the water park. Good luck and heed. This place has amazing potential, just not right now.

The water park was good but costs extra. The hotel overall is missing maintenance. We could not find a room in the main hotel due to technical problems, doors, AC etc. and were given a room in the lodge which is a mile away. The pool service was lacking, especially towels, we had to get out of the pool wet after waiting for towels for so long.

I am not pleased to say that this place has truly gone downhill from when I last stayed. My family has had a time share here for about ten years. When I stayed here as a young teenager, I truly enjoyed the place. Awesome water park, pool, beach by the lake with a DJ, outdoor activities, overall lots of stuff to keep you busy. When I returned this weekend with my family as an adult, it felt like the place was a shadow of it's former self. The first thing I noticed was the quality of of the resort. Everything was very outdated with a musty smell, it hasn't been updated at least since I've been there last. But they'll gladly take $200 for bringing a pet, I wonder where that money is going towards.When we first arrived we tried the "Bistrofusion", while I don't expect hotel lobby food to be the best, I would definitely suggest going out to eat to try some of the surrounding restaurants, it'll be a better bang for your buck and I'll just leave it at that. When it came to the rooms, it was disappointing. The beds were very uncomfortable, you may as well have been sleeping on the pillow covers because the pillows felt like they were filled with at max ten feathers, your head went right through them. While all of this isn't great, I can bare with it because at least it was clean enough. What disturbed me the most was that my stepson had been sleeping with a blanket that was literally stapled together. (see attached photo). I found this unacceptable and frankly dangerous, I'm glad the child sleeping with this blanket wasn't injured in any way.Our experience outside the resort wasn't much better either. The outdoor beach area wasn't nearly as alive as it used to be, no one swims in the lake anymore. The bartender was rude and pushy, encouraging my spouse to chug her drink and pushing her to buy some $20 cheap cup that I could probably find at the dollar store. I was really looking forward to going down the yellow slide with the giant raft with my family, I remembered it being awesome and the highlight of my last trip. To my dismay, it was shut down, as was the surf simulator. The arcade and bowling alley were equally as underwhelming, everything was so much smaller yet still very pricy to enjoy some basic arcade games I could find at my local Dave & Busters for a much better price and overall experience.If you're like me and your family also has a time share here, the most redeeming quality of the place is certainly the outdoors and the hotel guests staying there. We enjoyed some nice drinks at the bar in the hotel lobby, the older bartender was a gentleman, personable, and frankly way less creepy. It was fun to hear everyone in the lobby singing karaoke as the night went on. The hotel guests and locals at the surrounding restaurants were truly very friendly. Despite my negative experience at the beach bar, the view of Lake Harmony there was truly beautiful and it's a very pleasant change of scenery if you're someone like me who's most adjusted to a city/suburban lifestyle. I am under the impression Split Rock is under new ownership, and for the sake of all timeshare holders I hope they update the place, fix what is broken, and make everyone feel they're getting their moneys worth. As of now, Split Rock isn't worthy of the title "Resort".

Ok where to begin, I am a timeshare owner to make it clear, this place is the worst place I have been to, First I have paid my Dues every year and have just not come for the last 3 years because the last time we came we left after 1 day. This place has done nothing to improve Staff, Appearance, Quality of Stay or any other metric. My wife and I have been following the “Renovation” of the Resort and said let’s try again. Upon booking I made it clear I wanted a renovated, room and if not I just would rather stay at a hotel. I was assured I would get a renovated room, well you guessed it no renovated room. I spoke with Owners circle and they supposedly changed it and promised me a renovated room. Yup you guessed it no renovated room when I got here. But the desk assured me it was, I HAVE PICTURES it wasn’t. The ceiling was water stained my chain lock frame piece was separated from the door frame we were missing a door knob to the children’s room our bedroom door would not shut, the kitchen Dishwasher and cabinets had no proper fillers and had 3 to 6 inch gaps and the room was at least 15 years old. There are no towels provided at the pool and your promised breakfast as a owner and of course not true. No manger ever around so there’s never anything anyone can do. The food is sub par for the price. I have tried to see if anyone would take this time share off my hands and I can’t even give it away.Attached are pictures of everyone described.

Water Park Review - Wave pool and big water slide not working. Boogie board area sloooow. They did have two hot tub areas, but one is completely gone, the other not available. Asking numerous staff about Wave pool, finally went to desk to ask, to be told, "every 15 minutes." Explained we had been there for over an hour, they then said they were sending someone to look at it. Never worked. No announcement. Big water slide (twice as long as smaller) was not staffed. Boogie board had to have water manually cleared before it could be started. Old, tired equipment? Pretty good time for little kids. No longer worth it for teens and adults.

Really disappointed with our stay for our anniversary. We specifically chose the VIP room in town center, because it explicitly stated that the VIP room was recently renovated. Well they used "renovated" term loosely because I'm not sure what was done besides a new coat of paint. The windows were duct taped closed, the bathtubs/showers were peeling because they just painted over the old ones, the fridge didn't work properly. My husband fixed the USB outlet that was broken by the beside. We had to ask them to deep clean the hot tub in the room, which helped but it still wasn't 100% clean when we used it later. We tried to spend as much time adventuring outside of Split rock because we really didn't enjoy ourselves back at the hotel. The front desk staff was nice and helpful, and the lobby was nicely renovated as well. Just felt really duped for booking a nice looking, expensive room and that's not what we got.

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.

Rooms where clean. A bit noisy at night from others. The rooms need to be updated. Very poorly kept and also the surrounding of the outside. There were lots of garbage outside in the parking and lots of potholes. We had hardly anything to do everything was closed. This was understandable we came on a off season. But the keeping of the facility and the updates and cleanup around the building is not understandable. They can do better.

Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad time. Got a "2 Bedroom master suite". I put that in quotes because it is actually just two rooms with an adjoining door that CAN be open from either side. Had to prop it open with a fire extinguisher since there was no prop. The primary reason for getting this room was the jacuzzi tub. It didn't work. Attempted to call the desk. No one answered. So I went to the desk the next day. They said maintenance would take a look. Maintenance never came. The water park is gross and in disrepair. The "food" is simply disgusting. There is only one "restaurant" which is really just a buffet that smells like dog food. The smell luckily made us turn around and walk right back out, because many reviews report feeling ill after eating there. It seems like this place was possibly really nice 40 years ago. Now it is a tourist trap. And since it appears to have been purchased by some Chinese company, I don't expect it to get better, or to be compensated in any way for the terrible experience. BE WARNED!

Honestly? If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to kalahari or Great wolf, this would be a top choice. Don’t get me wrong, it’s pricey, but there are a lot of additions you get just for your room. Bowling, pool, tennis court, basketball area, and the staff was over the top nice at every moment. Will be staying again next time I’m in the Poconos🙌🏽

The best part is the location, it’s set back in the woods and quiet. The Town Center 2 bedroom was really well laid out for our family of four. The downsides are the indoor pool was closed, the lagoon by the lake had a sign saying it was closed for swimming. Only the beach was usable. The mini golf Is free but unusable. Many holes weren’t functioning and or our kid’s ball got permanently stuck. Things happen but would be nice to have a sign or have them include in the text they send stating that things are not functioning. The movie theater had an odd assortment of mainly adult movies not good for young kids. We had been here 16 years ago and it’s really gone down hill since. The room was fine but don’t stay if you’re looking for amenities.

We came for a short family get away and this was a hidden gem. Not too crowded, the rooms were clean and spacious. Our suite was well appointed and we were able to spread out. Aside from the children running in the hall, I have no complaints about the hotel. The scenery here is gorgeous, you just have to be mindful of the deer at night. We had a doe cross in front of our truck on the very first night.

I’ve been to this resort multiple times and always loved it. However, after my recent visit I would never recommend this place again. We booked a room with 2 bedrooms through our time share. The resort, on the other hand, gave us a room with a conjoining room to make the 2 bedroom- which made this 2 separate rooms in their terms. They then proceeded to charge us 2 separate “activity fees” of 150 each (170 with tax and fees). Yes, their website says “20 a night with tax” so I completely understand one charge. However, we did not book 2 rooms, we booked 1, and they charged us the fee for 2 rooms even tho they CHOSE to give us 2 rooms. As stated, we’ve been here before and this hotel has rooms that have 2 bedrooms so it was completely their choice to give us 2 separate rooms. When we called to deny the 2nd charge, that was charged illegally to the card on hold for a security hold and never authorized or told about, they refused to give it to us back. They claim we had 2 rooms and can charge 2 fees even though we booked 1 room. In addition to this charge also being illegal since it was never told to us or authorized and was on the account after we checked out, they also had no activities for the week either. What are paying 170 for in the first place even for one room?! The sports courts were closed all week because of a gun show coming “in the future,” which there was no information about or signs that told us this would be closed all week. No employee showed up to run bingo. The pool room NEVER had towels and we had to ask each time and wait 30 min!!! This hotel is poorly ran and would rather lose customers than give back the $170 that was illegal withdrawn from an account. We still have not received the refund and are looking into suing them for this illegal transaction. Do not recommend!!! PS- rooms were also filthy and had hair in the bed sheets and nothing looked or felt clean.

If it was possible to give no stars or negative stars I would. This place is absolutely terrible. You ask for an early check in time they say okay 1pm check in time. Then they say room isn't guaranteed ready until 4 once you get there at 1pm. You get there on time your room isn't ready. So you wait, you check every hour room still isn't ready. Waited 5 plus hours for our room to be ready. You ask to speak to a manager and they tell you there is no manager here until 1130pm. You ask for a refund or discount and they tell you they can't do that only the manager can do that. Once the room was ready they only offered free food comp from a restaurant at the resort. This place is an absolute joke. Definitely would never recommend this place to anyone.

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.

I should have known, from the HUGE POTHOLES in the parking lot, & the entrance to the pool area, is NOT visible from the parking lot. You walk up to the entrance, it looks dingy. If it hadn't already been after 4pm, & other indoor water parks were approx 30 min away, & more money, we would have turned RIGHT around from the parking lot, and went ELSEWHERES!!! We did not stay at the hotel. But if it's ANYTHING like the water play area, STAY AWAY!!! The water area, if you love your child, do NOT even let them KNOW about this place!!! Two children, one being mine, got CUTS in their feet, at the children's area!!! Other child got CUTS, SO BAD, his mom, who works as a nurse, said she thinks he needs STITCHES!!! Slip prevention mats that are supposed to be soft, were hard, kids were slipping on them, falling, hitting their heads, biting their tongues. Air is COLD, VERY POOR lighting, lots of RUST spots in wave pool!!! Caution tape around basketball pool area. Water for raft slide is FREEZING!!! Too COLD to even step in!!! Hot tub area closed, water ride broken. Food, SUPER EXPENSIVE!!! 6.00 for a hot dog, 8.00 for a SLICE of pizza??!!! Then, when we get outside, an hour before closing time, the entrance to the water area is COMPLETELY DARK!!! NO lights, AT ALL!!! Only about 1 or 2 lights in the parking lot, which is down a little hill from the entrance to the water area!!! WORST water play experience, EVER!!! This place belongs in a SCARY MOVIE!!!

My family and I stayed at Split Rock for 2 nights for the first time as it was the perfect location to Jack Frost.I made the reservation through Split Rock website. I booked a "One bedroom townhouse run of the house" which is advertised with pictures on their website with a kitchen and separate one bedroom. When we checked in we were given a standard room. I made the front desk aware that this is not what I ordered. They informed me I was wrong and they scrambled to get a 1 bedroom for my family and said they only had an interior one available. We had no choice but to take the interior room as there was no way myself, my husband, my 3 year old and 4 month old would be able to fit in the standard room. I emailed customer service as well when I returned home. I got ZERO response back and had to follow up with an email in order to even get a response. When I got a response, it was stated the reservation shows run of the house which means any unit that accommodates four. A standard bedroom with 2 twin beds does not accommodate 4 and is not what the website indicated. I followed up with an email again and 12 days later still no response. I guess customer service is something Split Rock does not care about or strive for.

I am a paralyzed Marine Corps veteran. I am typing this using a Tobii Dynavox infrared retina tracker.We were told that "We don't provide coffee makers to handicap rooms."The air conditioning didn't work for our entire stay.We didn't have a trash can for two days.The TV was shattered before we arrived. We didn't receive a replacement unit until the third day.The Internet connection was fickle.There were no windows in our room.The hospital bed was operated with hand cranks.The air quality was too bad to go outside for the first three days.Food in the hotel was ridiculously expensive, we didn't have a kitchenette or even a mini fridge like anyone else until the day before we left. Nearby restaurants made the food situation bearable.Our children were assigned a room three floors away from us. We booked a two-room suite, but they don't even have that kind of room in the hotel.We didn't have a caregiver with us Please suggest local caregiving services.I would like to coordinate with staff to help improve the experience for future visitors. I have good memories from our visit in 2016. I understand that the hotel was hit hard by the pandemic. I want to help.

Resort must have been stunningly beautiful when it was originally built! It is in desperate need of a remodel; however, the resort covers such an extensive property, it cannot be fully renovated at once.Currently, the resort has several rooms that were recently remodeled. Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful view of the lake! Close parking.The odd thing about the newly renovated room, was the door to the connecting room did not even offer a lock! You could walk between the two rooms. I’m assuming staff does not book both rooms at the same time for security reasons, but either way, you may want to move a piece of furniture in front of the door.The downside was the lobby was unattended as the limited staff could not occupy every building on the expansive property. The lobby had a strong smell of mold and musky air (granted, you’re in the mountains! What do you expect!) I found it difficult to breathe in the lobby. I did better breathing in my renovated room or outside.Overall, If you are staying a night or two just to crash and sightsee the next day, the hotel is a descent option. I just would not recommend the resort m, in its current condition, for a week long vacation.

If I was able to do zero stars I would have. This was a complete waste of money. My family was staying at the lodge and attempted to use the indoor pool which we were told we cannot due to a family reunion. So we went out to their beach with the only clean section of the beach being where the family reunion was, the rest was covered in goose feces. I had to go find cleaning services to get towels as our room wasn't touched. We went and bought toilet paper and trash bags for our room. Half the attractions in the water park weren't working but they'll still gladly take your money with no notices attractions weren't running.The staff doesn't seem to have any training or ability to make decisions as check in takes forever because everyone needed the manager to run back and forth to help them. They offer a shuttle service from their various locations on the resort, if they show up after you alert someone you would like to use it. We ended up leaving early, the was the best part of our stay.I wouldn't recommend this to any one, we have spent a lot less money for a much more enjoyable time in the Poconos.

This was my 3rd time here and very disappointed to say the least. Last time we were there a few years ago it was great for the price, but it seems since then no one cares about the condition of the water park. My children's clothes got ruined from the rust stains, only 2 out of 3 slides were functioning and the tree house (which is the most popular spot for most kids) was broken. The life guards are terrible, and the only way I could describe the water park after speaking so highly about it, is it's a dump now. It explains why there were so few people. Very sad, we won't be going back again. If I had known this ahead of time I wouldn't have wasted my money

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.

My partner and I had an excellent time here. The room was spacious and lovely and the kitchenette was stocked with silverware, glasses and pots and pans for cooking. We enjoyed the pool, bowling alley, arcade and lake. Breakfast was great but the restaurant was closed for dinner when we were there. The bartender suggested a restaurant down the road called Sunset Green that was phenomenal. I definitely suggest checking it out if you go. Nick's Lake House was another good spot nearby. The resort was located very close to many hiking trails. "Shades of Death" and "Hawk Falls" are two gorgeous trails I would recommend. We had gotten my mom to babysit for the weekend but we can't wait to go back with our daughter. We really had so much fun here. You do have to pay for most of the amenities but with the money we saved choosing NOT to go with an outrageously priced Air BNB it was still well worth it.

I went with a large group, i believe the rooms were great for all. The resort is EXTREMELY understaffed. Nobody is available to help. Water park doesn’t stay open at full capacity they close down 2 of the slides. Which upset a lot of the guests. The place was run down.

Went to Split Rock for a few days to get away from the city. We had an amazing time. We got the two bedroom suite. The kids had their room which was great. We had a full kitchen which we made breakfast one morning. The view from the room wasn’t the great but we were ok with that. The room was clean and a nice size. We were in the second floor of the hotel. The location was great, easy to get to. The service was excellent. Everyone was so nice and polite. As we passed the staff in the hall they knew who we were. They were always smiling and very upbeat. The kids loved the pool, we went bowling, played in the arcade and the kids did laser tag. Too bad we didn’t have enough time to do other things. There is always something going on. Highly recommend Split Rock and we can’t wait to go back

Rooms had a kitchen but no paper towels, dish liquid or sponge. No broom or trashcan. Resort needs to do better with suites. State as you should have have plates, cups utensils. We had one fork, spoons and knives. Come on now. We could not get anyone on the phone to let them know to pick up the garbage between 10 and 3 like suggested.We were here for wine festival. Very disappointed. They did not have many wine vendors at all. It used to be much more and better like 10+ years ago. I will need to find somewhere else go go.

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.

The activities director is absolutely amazing. He is energetic and is so wonderfully nice. Robert, one of the managers was so good at listening to you and is working hard at making some great improvements. Breakfast at the restaurant was not good at all and was cold. Food at the place in the lobby was very good. Only other issue was that they already had the heat off for the season and it was very cold in our room. Looking forward to seeing what improvements they make.

Need more help at check-in. The line was out the door. The bathroom and things around the resort were really old and needs up to date remodeling. The resort does have a lot to offer, and it is very convenient to have everything you need all in one place. The staff are nice, very helpful. This place definitely can turn into something even more amazing than it already is.

No wheelchair access to game room upstairs. Mom as upset. Got told I had a charge for 2 rooms I wast told about when booking through interval. Or when I called here2x. Then a kid puked at water park pool would have been nice to have half a refund. Plus the wheelchair accessible things didn’t work in pool area.

I had heard amazing things about this place but my experience was far from what I had heard. I booked my suite in advance like 2 months for competitions and arrived to check in and it wasn't ready yet they were giving people left and right for people who were just paying without reservations on top of that my suite was ready at 9pm and my tired daughter and my tired self had to wait 5 hours after the check in time to be able to shower and rest. Not even an apology or anything else just a here is your key and where you are located funny thing writing of door number and letter were so poor they couldn't tell me exactly and had me driving around for another 30 minutes before being able to get to my suite just a horrible experience. The guy in front of me got the police called on him cause they gave him and another couple the key for the same room and then to another couple it was a disaster I have never experienced in any other hotel

Cheap place for a quick getaway. But they turned off the heat and the rooms were freezing cold. They were going to close the water park at 4pm because of staffing issues. So many people complained that they reopened the park. Some of the staff was great, others were not. Place is a little ran down and also note, in the H2O park you have to bring your own towels? Also, the again buffet the food looked dry so we decided not to eat there. The main food court was decent. Overall was satisfied for a quick getaway for family and friends

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.

My experience at Split Rock was horrible. I drove from the bronx there, got there around 9:30 pm only to be told that my room was booked out and they didn’t have no where for me to stay.The same day they took the money from my account and didnt even got the audacity to call me to let me know I didn’t have a room there.However , when I got there they wanted to place me in the Willowbrook hotel this was like 5-10 mins drive from the main location .So in order to have the amenities like access to the water park and dinning I would have to drive back and forth.I rejected instantly! The hotel wasn’t pleasing, it needed some deep sanitizing and renovation.They said they had no where else to put me and my group of 6 including kids and that if I asked for a refund it would take up to fives days which had me more pissed off.This other customer saw that I was about to loose it and gave up his room to go stay at the Willowbrook because he liked the quietness over there and he didn’t mind because his room at the main location didn’t have a AC unit, and no hot water was a problem( yea that too). I appreciate it so much!Thanks to the manager MIKLOS who made this trip better he ensured we were comfortable and ensure we had everything we needed. They need more people like him at that Resort.FYI:::The water park is not free.You have to pay to get in!!!!!

Filthy hotel with rude front desk staff and hidden pet fees ($210!) . It’s too bad, this used to be a neat place to stay in the Poconos! There were several leaks which caused pools of dirty water along the hallways. They had recently fumigated so the place stank of insecticide. “Town Center” is dilapidated, and the tub in our room was slow to drain. It seems there are some amenities available on the weekends but not much during the week. The staff who worked in the coffee shop and restaurant were nice.

*SAVE YOUR $$ AND GO ELSEWHERE!!When we first arrived we thought we had a nice resort! Then we went in our room and they had a portable AC unit that was doing nothing for the heat because the window was hanging open with some duct tape holding the plastic from the air unit in the window! I wasn’t waiting for the night time to be chewed up by bugs coming in the open window. Then the one bed had a busted box spring and when my son sat on the end he fell to the floor! Outside pool was closed but not one word on the website! Waterpark only had 1 slide running which we weren’t told until after we paid to enter! Place is very run down and disgustingly dirty!! When you bring your concerns to the front desk they give you the oh well I don’t care attitude.

This review is for the indoor Waterpark. As a family of 9, we did have a good time. I thought the place was bigger but we made the best of what we had. I am upset that only one of the water slides was working, that was definitely a bummer. Also, I believe besides the slides, wave pool and surfing, it's geared more for smaller children. The food is definitely a bit pricey, $20 for a pizza is kinda crazy but it is what it is when you're there all day. Overall as I said, we had a pretty decent time there and probably will return.

The resorts are getting pretty worn and could use some repairs and decor changes. Most of the windows feel like they are single pane and let in cold air.The Galleria pool was closed for 24 hours due to a guest leaving unwanted debris in the pool water and the Lodge pool was closed due some water problem. We had a good time at the water park, the arcade, the bowling alley and the tennis / pickleball courts. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got to experience deer through our the resort grounds.We were there the least week of March and the weather was on the cool side and we had one day of rain.

This is very nice & well taken of. Very clean & well equipped . The staffs & the manager are very nice & helpful..I stayed fir 7 days here & I enjoyed it very much & relaxing ..I would definitely come again & recommend my friends , relatives & all to come..

We had the most amazing stay at Split rock.From the water park, private beach, bowling alley, arcade… it was fantastic.The room was beautiful and had a full kitchen.Robert and Jose (I believe his name was) were so great. They came up to us and let us know about events like laser tag, bingo, karaoke and more.This is my new favorite resort and we have stayed at many… from great wolf lodge to resorts in Myrtle beach. We will be coming back often

Parking was easy. Casino was very clean. Great variety of machines. co*cktail waitresses we're plentiful. Only downfall was some people were smoking in the non smoking areas. I will definitely be back.

Great hotel. The rooms are clean and smell amazing. Staff was very friendly. Not many good restaurant options. Food court is very dead. Loved the casino floor. Plenty of slot machines and tables. I would definitely go back.

My wife and I have been coming to this casino for over 10 yearsI don’t know how anyone can give it a negative review all the rooms have recently been updated iThe casino is extremely clean. the hotel is clean. The restaurants are spotless. The food is delicious. The people are very friendly. All the staff are very friendly, safe area and we have won here multiple times we see people winning. There are no young children running around like another casinos, we travel all around the United States have stayed in many casinos. This is truly one of the most relaxed, cleanest casinos. We have stayed in very laid-back. Absolutely love it.🥰

Fun and convenient casino to visit! Joe a Roulette table dealer is the bomb 🤩 he’s the absolute best to really have a good time with!! Restaurants are all delicious, but you need to make reservations. The cooking show through the Rustic Kitchen is also a blast too!! W a group or not! Highly recommend making a reservation there, it’s a show you need to experience that at least once it’s a lot of fun and wine is generously paired and served with each course!!! 😍

This casino is very diverse with lots of food and drink options. I mean, gambling is gambling but it’s a bit unusual for a casino basically in the middle of nowhere, to be this classy and fun. My only complaint is no valet parking. I walked half a mile in the cold to park and get my car and would have happily paid to valet. Otherwise, it’s a cool spot!

The personnel at Mohegan are very helpful, from registration to security, particularly with the drinks amenities, as my server came by several times an hour. The slot machine that I played hit more times than was expected from previous experiences. The waiter at Johnny Rockets was most accommodating, warmly welcoming me and making sure my order was correct. He ensured that the Veterans discount was applied to the bill without being prompted and honored me for my service to our country. I recommend that other visitors arrive early, as during later morning hours, parking becomes much more scarce for closer spots to the entrance. I appreciate the hospitality offered to me as a first-time player.

I rolled the dice with the high rollers and if I wasn’t lucky to find another special unicorn to share my fortune alongside. If you can find a waiter you might wait but patience is a virtue and when the drink arrives you will realize the service was well worth the wait. I didn’t write the review for any compensation or because I hit the 777 on the slots or even cause I might just be sloshed. I want you to know that unicorn sparkle fart won’t fart around anymore when he’s invited to such a miraculous evening of fortune.

Can’t you do something about the cigarette smoke? It’s so bad even in the “non-smoking” section. Our party left there with headaches and sore throats. Until something changes, we won’t be back. NY casinos are non smoking and they are still always busy. It seems like it would keep your casino cleaner if you went to non smoking or had a smoking room like they have in airports. Or maybe upgrade your ventilation system. This is probably the worse casino experience we’ve had in a long time. Also, the Ladies rooms need more consistent attention, it’s terrible to have to check three stalls before you find one without fecal matter all over the seats. I think it could be a nice casino, but we won’t be back because our lungs couldn’t take it. Our health is more important to us.

Stayed here for a night. We paid 5 times more than in a nice hotel in Vegas for ex, which doesn’t make any sense. After that, at least you expect dinner options open till late for a casino hotel or at least all the gambling tables open. Well, this is not the case; everything was shut down at 11 pm, and even the craps table. They are insanely annoying with the ID checking system, asking you every single time you wanna pass by the restaurants or anywhere that’s in the casino; they will take a picture of you every single time and then even inside could ask you again for your ID several times.THE WORST PART? Knowing that the price was insane, there was no soap in the bathroom while taking a shower - the front desk person said, ‘everyone complains about it haha, you should have called reception,’ which doesn’t make any sense since I was naked showering. Bad experience.

I can't speak to the rooms since the casino was my destination. Security staff were helpful, informative, and available. Good selection of slots, including a smoking section. Table games had reasonable bet limits. Overall, the vibe was really good on the floor. Strangers congratulating others and not bitter if they weren't up. I signed up for the Members Card and got two $10 Freeplay credits ($10 for text, and $10 for email). I will tell you that I walked outta there with $589.62 using ONLY the $20 Freeplay credits!!! The only money of mine I spent, was getting food on the way out!I will be back and want to try the Comedy Club too.

We consider this our local casino so we don't get rooms often, but they are nice and clean when we have stayed. We enjoy the Thursday night party on the patio. Service, more servers on the floor and better line organization on the patio is needed.

It's a nice casino. It's quite large. Lots of games to play. It was nice to see a $5 table to play Mississippi stud. But dealers were super friendly and helpful. That's always nice! played some slot machines did pretty good. All in all I had a good time and I would go back. couldn't quit figure out the parking though.

No valet service. For me, a person with disabilities this was a huge shock when we got there. The fact that they have motorized carts was a plus. The food, the only place that was memorable was Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was hands down the best steaks the wife and I ever had. But for the money they should have been. The breakfast from Johnny Rockets was average at best. Nothing to remember. Our lunch from the Hive was even less memorable. Nothing was fresh, it was all frozen and heated in a microwave. After that lunch the food didn't settle well with me so I didn't eat dinner. My wife order from the Bistro and it was horrible. She ate 4 bites and threw the rest away. The only other place we ate from was the coffee place, the coffee and desserts from there were exceptional.Overall our experience was ok. I realize they are doing renovations but some considerations to there customers would make up for this fact.

Establishment is always clean. Bathrooms are always clean. Even during the Party on the Patio, the venue stays clean. Usually quite busy any day we've gone. Never had any issues with obnoxious patrons. Always been a good time

This casino was nice, has good restaurants and live entertainment the reason for the low rating is because service was very slow when you are playing and waiting for a drink. And the fact of them allowing people to smoke while playing is so bad, we couldn't breathe at times. They do have a non smoking section but limited games and not the same games as smoking section, so sometimes if you want to play a certain game you are stuck going to the smoking section. Besides that it's a great casino.

Fun casino lots of slots. Nice room no extras. Several places to eat. Food was expensive.Very disappointed in Johnny rockets. It needs a serious deep cleaning. Great coffee and pastry shop. The facility itself was really clean and nice.

I stayed here recently after meeting relatives at a halfway point from upstate NY. I’m not a gambler but needed a comfortable place to stay for the night and my relatives wanted to enjoy the casino. The king room I stayed in was really comfortable. The Google chrome cast let me catch up on my Bravo shows using my peaco*ck app on my phone.As I said, I’m not a gambler but utilized the free play card they gave me and ended up winning a little $ that night and called down to order Ruth Chris Steakhouse Takeout - conveniently located in the casino to enjoy in my room. The staff could have been a little friendlier there but the food was hot and delicious.The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Everything felt upgraded and the person who checked me in was extremely kind and helpful. They let me choose which floor to stay on. My floor has vending and ice machines which also accepted credit cards.The shuttle bus was convenient the next day to take me up to the self parking lot so i don’t have to walk with my luggage.I didn’t even get to check out the spa but would have loved to.I’m not a gambler but would definitely go back to meet relatives at a halfway point again just to enjoy the comfortable rooms and a little get away.

i have never been to a casino before. my uncle sent me to take my aunt to cheer her up after a distressing week. it worked. the place really is stunning in both negative and positive ways. firstly, i was not allowed to enter until they scanned my face for facial recognition and entered it into their system. i do NOT like this. do you really need FACIAL RECOGNITION? i had no choice but to agree and i think it was very wrong. and when i went to get my sweater (it is quite cold inside), they made me get scanned AGAIN even though i had just been inside...... what are they really doing with all of our faces i wonder? the irish pub inside had surprisingly good food. the ceiling and lights are massive and hypnotizing. everyone here other than the workers are very old and you can smell that sad old person stench permeating from every corner. not necessarily a bad thing but it makes me want to cry for no discernible reason. if you stand still too long in a place like this, tears will just come out. i like that you can smoke inside i think that's cool and i love smoking. the bartender at the big round bar, he had a limp. he was great. my favorite machine is the lucky pony game. i should have walked away when i was up. but that's the point right?

I've been here alot in the past year with a family member. We enjoyed it but then they rearrange and drink servers are getting hard to find. Last visit took over 1 1/2 hrs to finally find someone to get a water. Electric cashiers were down throughout the casino floor, many games were off line & all the games were very sluggish. Usually staff is great and friendly but our least visit they were short, nasty, or ignored you.

Very racist workers. My first encounter was with Judi who works at the order line for pizza/ convenience store in the food court. I walked in and very happily said hello and she stared at me (we were only two people), I then repeated “hello how’s your day” she disapprovingly stared at me again…. I then waved at her and said hello and she kept staring rudely….I decided to still grab a drink and when I turned around she stepped from behind the register and turned her entire body to watch exactly what I’m grabbing. I brought my drink to the counter and she just kept staring at me and wouldn’t ring my drink up….. this is the first time in my life that I’ve had an openly racist encounter to the point where I wasn’t served….. between Judi and the other bar tenders who stared at me, wouldn’t say hello or basic manners, I didn’t go back downstairs, ended my trip early and did door dash for the rest of my time there. Because I was very afraid and uncomfortable to go downstairs. I paid $800 to be depressed and afraid

This is a great stop for a little fun if you are in the area, or if you can travel there. We always enjoy the casino. The hotel is quiet and clean. I think this property has the best overall staff of the places we visit. If you have only one dinner, make it Rustic Kitchen! The menu has something for everyone, and they serve one of the best clam chowder I've ever had. Enjoy!

The Mohegan Sun in CT is definitely better. Although, this one is pretty decent. We arrived late about 11pm and every restaurant in there is closed. I'm a little disappointed. Plenty of slot machines to go around, the poker room had 1 table playing. There's no smoking section for players, which is definitely a plus for me. The place was clean. We booked the hotel here also, room is clean. Parking lot was a bit confusing to get into, but overall it's pretty okay.

Not the best and not the worst! When checking in, young man at the front desk initially forgot my %20 veterans discount, had an attitude when he had to correct it!! Other than that check in was smooth. This hotel has no valet service or bellman service!! I had to park over a football fields length away, go down 20 stairs, then climb under a railing and walk another 500 feet. I had no problem doing it, but a few elderly patrons were really struggling! They should have a roving golf cart picking up patrons after they park their car and give them a lift back to the hotel/casino!!! Unbelievable!!

Our room was clean & well made. We has the smoking floor, so it did have a smell of smoke.Issue I had was there was no microwave. Also I heard they had a pool that is now gone and a bigger gym, which is now small.I as an employee how much they got paid and it wasn't much especially for the amount of money that the casino makes.

Mohegan sun casino is very nice. The facility is kept up to date, and the property is very clean. Friends and I have attended several party on the patio events to include lynard skynard and poison. The acts they get for these performances are very good and comment no cost to the customer.Keep up the good work.

Its funny how if you look at the reviews the owner only addresses the good reviews and never the poor ones. That should tell you everything you need to know.Anyway the reason for the 1 star service review is they refuse to give the courtesy of an extended checkout by a simple 1 hour when I request it the night before checkout. So 12pm instead of 11am. We’re up late in the casinos gambling til 3 or 4 in the morning. You would think the LEAST they could do is give those who request it a simple hour whenever they request it. Will not be returning. I’ll give my money to a different hotel and casino.

We went to the casino. Walking in the door the cigarette smoke and stench hits you full force. We attempted to find the NO SMOKING SECTION, complete waste of time since there were smokers and full ashtrays everywhere. The smoke was everywhere you went, I would have bet the air filtration system is faulty or extremely undersized. It was actually affecting my breathing to the point that we left in short time. We like to visit casinos and this was the worst air quality by far. I couldn't wait to get outside for fresh air. First thing upon arriving home was to fill up the wash machine with every article of clothing I was wearing to get rid of the smoke stench. It really was horrendous how bad the air quality was on the entire casino premise. We will not be returning.

Really nice place. Great service and nice clean casino. Hit on the Quick Hits progressive machine. And I usually play Roulette or Craps. This place was good to me.

Room appeared to be renovated since my last visit a year ago. It was very nice. I like the fact that the barrier that previously went around the casino floor has been removed. Bathroom facilities on the casino floor were very clean. Large variety of slots.

The casino did not allow my wife to enter the casino as they do not accept all forms of US GOVERNMENT ISSUED IDS. We have been to over 20 other casinos in the state and all allowed my wife to use her ID. I would not recommend visiting this casino as they are not accepting of customers who wish to do their business there. I talked to a “supervisor” who said that’s the way it is. Apparently Mohegan Pennsylvania has more security measures than government buildings, airports, and any other venue.

Awesome hotel and casino. The restaurateurs have great food to eat. We stay for at least two nights and always end up having a great time. The only thing I beg of you guys is to open up the pool.

VERY Beautiful place and I've been going to Morgan Sun Casino for over 10 years it's been awhile since I have won anything worth the while for some time but it was different from what the casino looked like last time which was 2 years ago.Take your chances and play the slots

Was here for the first time recently and will definitely be back! The room was clean, plenty of space, staff at check in were friendly and helpful. We had fun at the casino, enjoyed a drink at the outside bar on the property, dined at Ruth Chris..overall great time!

Nothing 4 ⭐️ about this place.Breakfast is not included. They do offer a coupon with 2 coffees OR a baked good for a room with double occupancy.The front desk representative was extremely rude. When we asked if breakfast is included, they handed us the coupon. When we asked how much would the breakfast cost, they just raised their brows and said why would we expect them to know! Umm ??!!Oh and the 21+ age requirement is because the hotel is attached to a casino.

My son and I stayed at your hotel as we were attending a concert. We had a great time in the casino. Unfortunately, we got back to the hotel at 9:40pm and all restaurants were closed. 🥹 Aside from that it was a great experience. But PLEASE, I must ask..what brand is that FANTASTIC mattress and pillows??? I loved the comfort and want to buy them! I appreciate your reply in advance..Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Rooms are always clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Everyone can post about how they lost at the casino-- but you gotta play to win! Win or lose, it is always a pleasure to visit Mohegan. They also have some of the best players' club incentives and events, a great selection of restaurants and the spa is open again which further enhances your visit!

Great night. Gambled, saw a comedy show,listened to a good band in one of the bars.Gambled some more.Every one was super friendly. I had a great time with my friend. We also stayed overnight..Room was clean & bed was comfortable.

It was our first time here on Saturday. I read a lot of the negative reviews and thought we were going to have a bad time. There were some plus things and some negative things.We paid for general parking which was 12.00. Waited only a few minutes for a shuttle to take us to the entrance of the water park. The lines were short so we got in VERY quick. They did a “pat down” of our bag. Some reviews of people were upset with them not thoroughly going through their bag. Me, I didn’t mind as I knew I didn’t have anything I wasn’t supposed to and it made us get in even quicker. We found a chair immediately by the kids section/ lazy river. One of the things I was hoping to find was an open chair to at least put our stuff on. We spent a few minutes at the children’s section with my grandchildren and they seemed to love that. Then off to the lazy river. Some reviews said there was a long wait for the lazy river. We waited less than 10 minutes. That was very nice. Then it was off to the wave pool. That was also very nice and Everyone in the pool seemed to have a blast! Next my son went on the spin cycle side and loved it. There was a little longer wait for that but still only waited about 20 minutes. I LOVED that there were bunches throughout the park to sit on while waiting for your children to get off the rides or to just rest. The park was VERY CLEAN. I could not tell you how the food was as we read reviews about how expensive it was to eat there. We ate a late breakfast before we got there and opted to grab an early dinner when we left. We did buy a bottle of soda, a water and a small bag of chips and that was 12.00.There were a few slides not running. It didn’t bother us too much as my son wouldn’t have time to ride them all and yes food is pricy.We enjoyed our first time there and we will be back next year !

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!

Everything good, kids loved the Beach pool and the Tacos food truck 10/10 you can get beers and co*cktails too..the bossa nova music i heard love it..Parking expensive.

It's really fun, but some of the best rides you'll need an express pass or is gonna be at least 30 min wait, that depends on how many people want to ride and how full is the park, we went on a Wednesday and it was pretty packed, I can't imagine on a weekend.

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!

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 $$$$$$

Really nice waterpark. Reasonably priced. However, there needs to be a system for the express pass riders. Only one ride per hour or something. Because I saw the same people pass me 3 times causing me and my party to be there for over 2 hours.

Very fun! Lots of different water activities to choose from. My favorite was the lazy pool.. for many reasons. There are also few spots to buy yummy food and drinks. Gift shop is also on site— goggles, phone case etc is sold there.

We had our daughters Wedding at Camelback resort. It was AWESOME !!! Getting married on top of a mountain with spectacular views is the perfect way to start a future together.The reception at Summit House was wonderful. The service was great, as was the food and drink. Jennifer was awesome! She guided us throughout the whole process. She was there the day of the wedding and made sure everything went smoothly. I can’t thank her enough. It was just great experience!!!John and Dixie

Embarking on an exhilarating adventure to Camelbeach, Pennsylvania, I was immediately captivated by the awe-inspiring vistas that stretched as far as my eyes could fathom. Nestled among the grandeur of the mountains, the lazy river meandered gently, offering a tranquil escape. As I ventured further, the resounding echoes of laughter led me to the mesmerizing wave pool, where towering waves crashed with thrilling splendor. Every moment at Camelbeach was a symphony of excitement and serenity, a perfect harmony of nature's beauty and water park thrills.

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...

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.

❌❌❌❌❌❌We had an extremely unsatisfactory stay at the hotel:More than half of the water slides were closed during our visit.The staff was extremely rude.The room we were given was in a terrible condition – it was dusty, and there were even hairs in the bed.When we requested a room change, we were only responded to the next day and were told that they had no knowledge of our request.Even the regular ice machines, which should have been available on every floor, were not working.In addition, the water in the pools was dirty and green.

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.

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.

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 😉

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

The trails here are great! I had so much fun skiing here with my friends. The lifts were fast and convenient. Rentals and tickets were relatively inexpensive. I like the fact that it is open until 9:00pm. Night skiing was so much fun. The trails were very well lit. I also got to go to the water park when the lines were quite short. This is a great place to stay and ski.

We travelled from Toronto, and it was worth every min of the time we spent on a road trip to treat ourselves with this beautiful resort. Amazing indoor facilities, extremely courteous and friendly staff, and great choice of restaurants to choose. Kids loved the indoor and outdoor Waterpark and activities. Especially the graffiti pizza place

Great place for families. Can be pricy depending on activities. The outdoor water park is fun. Food lines are long due to lack of organization. Ride lines are bearable and go very fast. There are huge safety concerns for the bear lift so BEWARE. My kids and I went on the bear lift...the bar which is suppose to be secure lifted while we were in the air. We could have fell. I informed the attendant... she was nonchalant and did not follow. We even mentioned it to the front desk at the hotel...they apologized. I would not recommend the bear left and will be reporting this incident to the State.

My boyfriend and I were so excited to come for our 4 year anniversary. The front desk ladies were fine, not very nice or knowledgeable but fine. None of the staff ever knew anything or seemed happy to be there, weather it be the cleaning ladies (asking where the ice machine was), lifeguards (when a ride will start) or asking the front desk when the activity center opens no one knew anything. By the way the website says activity center opens at 10 but it’s really 12. The room was okay. Lots of ladybugs in it, not sure what that’s about. But the part that got me is the biggest part of staying here, the water park. It was so disgusting. Normally I can look past stuff and enjoy my self but it was too bad. Purple and blue rubber gloves everywhere. Bandaids EVERYWHERE, and just piles of junk on everything. It was so foul. In the hottub there was gauze and bandages floating with bugs hanging out on them like a raft. I could not believe my eyes. More than half the rides were closed or not working so it was slim picking on things to do. The whole place is either broken or covered in rust. Would not recommend for small kids. The bar in the Waterpark was meh. Our daiquiris tasted like cough medicine and the first night the bar tender didn’t put her own tip on but the second day the man put his own tip on our receipt and charged us full price for VIRGIN daiquiris! Also in the pool bar you get to sit in front of the years of dust build up on a lifeguard pole. I absolutely cannot recommend this place to anyone and will not be coming back. I’m really disappointed I used to love this place.

Went in December had enough trails open to satisfy me. Lines at 6 person high speed lift were no wait. Got rental skis they were great. Stayed in the hotel was clean and like new. Water park seemed nice but only did the wave wall . Food at Steak House was great. Only disappointment was that kids in hotel room above us were loud.

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 taught myself to ski at Camelback last season and was so pleased with the variety of slopes there. I was looking forward to returning this season but I did not realize spring skiing meant that most of the runs would be melted or on their way out. I did 3 different runs, hoping that I would find some enjoyable ones that didn't consist of a very narrow remaining piste and audible dirt/mud scraping the bottom of my skis. No such luck. I felt very disappointed and hoped that I could talk to guest services to explain my situation and possibly receive a partial refund or voucher towards the next season. They checked my ticket and said that unfortunately, since it was scanned 5 times, they could not give me a refund. I explained that I had only done 3 runs, but his reply was "it's showing you scanned it 5 times." I thought it was strange that he just brushed aside my explanation and it was clear that they did not have any further interest in my story since they already had my money. (I later realized that the additional scans were from taking one of the lifts to the base of another lift.)As you can probably gather from these reviews, Camelback has a poor track record with customer service and satisfaction. There seems to be a clear pattern of promising and flashy marketing to bring in business, and then taking advantage of customers as evidenced by the parking fees and exorbitantly overpriced food. If you do decide to come here, if it's the right time of year and luck is in your favor, you could very well have a great experience. However, if there are factors that are to your dissatisfaction, just know that there is not much assurance that Camelback will make it right. I would recommend other mountains in the area if you want to ensure a good ski experience.

I probably wouldn’t write this review if they didn’t hit you up for 15-30$ to park. That was the straw that broke the camels back….Small mountain everything at big mountain prices. 100$ tickets is insane for size of this place.This place has a really tiny vertical. Terrain is super basic, reminds me of small hills in CT. The conditions were pretty rough. Icy as could be and you could tell snow making was just barely getting by with the rain and temp swings they saw this Feb ‘22.Lifts were slow and on a Saturday the place felt oversold. 20-30 minute lines for 5 minute runs.Alas, it is a squeak under 2 hours from Brooklyn. But for 100$ ticket I can drive to Hunter and get better snow, better terrain, better lines and it’s just another hour onto the trip.We always have fun but my daughter and I definitely left the day feeling like there are better day trip mountains to hit from NYC.

I skied at Camelback on a Tuesday evening. I'll start with what they got right: During a winter with warm temperatures and little snow, they managed to open a good number of lifts and trails with decent snow coverage. And on a Tuesday, it wasn't overcrowded.But the rest of my visit wasn't ideal. I got the definite sense the resort cared mostly about getting as much money from me as possible. On top of $55 for a weekday evening lift ticket, there was a $12 charge for parking unless I wanted to walk a long distance or take a shuttle. That wasn't for a premium lot, but for lots that were still a long walk from the slopes and were nearly empty on a Tuesday.Then I bought a bag of potato chips at the base lodge cafeteria. This was a single-serving bag of mass-produced chips, less than two ounces. The price? $5.00!I was also disappointed when I asked a lift operator whether one of the other lifts was operating. She said she didn't know. I would expect all mountain operations staff to be knowedgeable about open lifts and trails.

Kevin was excellent and helpful during check in. Super friendly, answered all the questions I had at that time. I checked in early and had no problems. He also helped me arrange for a surprise birthday cake for my son. The water park was a great environment, super family friendly, but also fun for the adults! Lots of staff around so you certainly feel safe, and they are easily accessible for any questions you have. Zip lining was fun! Arcade is pricy, but the kids LOVED it. Lots of activities to choose from. Overall a great trip (aside fromSome issues with the Hemispheres restaurant, but that has nothing to do with the rest of the resort). I would absolutely go back.

Our stay started with a few kinks, but the Lobby Bartender Lynn was able to give us a few pointers to maximize our vacation. There’s plenty to do at the resort, and the food at Trails End is very good! It’s definitely worth another trip!

Outdated….For the amount of money spent this place has to do better. First day I was given a room the had pet urine everywhere ( I am severely allergic to pets). The room outdated carpet is filthy. No accommodations are included with package besides a dirty water park. They need to shut down and power wash and sanitize the entire place. Hospitality….. worst I have ever seen went to use the bathroom and the dirty wash clothes and towels from the previous occupants were still there and wet. I wish I could give this place zero stars but I had to choose one. The are making money hand over fist and not putting it back in to the facility. DISGUSTING

We’ve been going here at least once or twice a year for the past few years. Honestly, the more we visit the more this place grows on us. Clean and decent rooms. Love the fact the indoor water park is included. Only constant complaint would be how the extra charge for over night parking and their food is barely ok but completely overpriced. If not for that, I’d rate this place as 5 stars.

We had a great time. The staff went above and beyond. It was my son's birthday and wanted to play laser tag together as a group. The young man working was so kind and patient. My son is autistic and a bit fearful but really wanted to do it. The young man gave him a tour of the laser tag area and showed him what to expect. It may seem like a small action, but it was so impactful. Our son had so much fun. It was a great experience!!!

Pretty straight shot off 80 from jersey. Was a nice stay. Our suite was pretty nice and I didn't have really any complaints about it. Everything worked as it should, service at Trails End was nice, and the magician was cool.Arcade wasn't too bad. Daughter loved the pool and all the activities surrounding it. We'll definitely be coming again in the winter for another stay.

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

I’ve been coming here for the last 7 years straight and loved it. After new ownership this year, I’ll likely never come back. Insane prices for parking (we always paid extra for premium on the weekends but now it’s FIFTY dollars and a sliding scale from there with no free option. The new RFID cards slow down the lines because they never work. On a beautiful Sunday with all trails open they only had 4 lifts going (2 of which only go half way up the mountain) so the express lifts were a mess all day. I only went to the top of the mountain once because it was a minimum 20 minute lift line. It made it not worth the hefty 100 dollar price tag (not including parking). Almost fell over at lunch when 2 orders of chicken tenders and French fries cost FIFTY dollars. An absolute joke. We have the money to pay but we’ll be taking it elsewhere. I’m happy to pay if the experience is worth it but it absolutely was not. I would not recommend and will be warning all my friends.

My family and I love going to this resort.It is all inclusive except the food but there are lots of places nearby to eat if you decide not to eat there.Summertime is the best time for me to take advantage of the indoor and outdoors park ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ lots of rides.This year we rented out two rooms included a king bedroom suite and invited our family to stay it was so much fun we all cooked a dish so we didn’t have to go out to eat.So excited 😆 I forgot it was our sons birthday 🥳 I could go on and on but please go and experience this beautiful place soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great mountain for the location. They did a great job of keeping snow on the trails this year, considering we didn’t get any snow. Trails End Pub is always a good time but incredibly crowded…don’t expect a seat at the bar or to sit for lunch without an hour wait. The mountain has great trails. They do get icy later in the day so get there early.

Wonderful resort! Wished we would have gotten the upgraded room with a little more room but it was still fairly rommy.Our check in agent was Stephanie who's amazing, our room attendant was Michelle who was amazing, bar tender at Oasis I think his name was Will was amazing!Overall customer service was great resort super clean the indoor water park was super fun. Great place for all ages!!!! Will visit again after the great service.

First time here. It is comparatively small when compared with Kalahari and Great wolf park on the same area. They also gave the wrong room initially and we have to rundown again to get the correct room. Kalahari is the best for adults and family. Great Wolf is great for family with young kids.

They raised the self parking prices by 20%from $20 -$25When asked if i want to park off location was told I can park in the bottom of the hill.But you will get a ticket.Not sure why the greed on me self park my car.

My family and I spent thanksgiving weekend at Camelback and it felt like we were at our home away from home. The checking process was so smooth and the lady was so friendly. At first we were skeptical about spending the holiday there but we didn't regret it at all. Natalee was amazing and made sure we felt right at home. We called the front desk twice for help and they sent a male first and he was unable to fix it so I had to call front desk again and they sent Natalee and when she came and saw the issue and was able to fix it in less than a second, she even told us about the different restaurants and activities they were having. She was amazing and so friendly with a warm personality. What can I say but excellent service and a family oriented approach. I rate this place 100000000/100 and we would definitely be back soon.

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.

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.

I went with family for spring break and we had a blast!The location is so superiorThe water park have variety of water slides (awesome and breath taking)The ocean with a water wave replica of the beach is amazingThe lazy river so funThe arcade was so much fun and various games to playThe room is bestI would recommend for family vacation.

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.

We did not stay in the hotel. The resort has changed a lot since we last have been here like 7 years ago. Some good, some bad. Hate that they charge for parking. Ugh. Lift tickets are quite pricey and no discount for kids which a lot of other places offer. The infrastructure is very good though. Quality trails with good selection. Good lifts, loved the Black Bear lift - get's you to the top of the mountain in 3 min and love the extended hours. All our interactions with staff were pleasant.We did a ski school for my 4 year old. The instructors were great but it felt like there was a lot of waiting around. Kids get off the magic carpet - wait around, eventually the go down on a pretty flat surface so felt like my child was doing more walking around with his skis on than doing actual learning. He never advanced beyond lower magic carpet. He got the basics but I wish they did a little more and I wish they offered full day camp and not just 90 minutes.We avoided eating at a ski lodge but I did get a sandwich once and it was pretty sad sandwich for like $16. We preferred to take a break and went off the mountain for lunches - better deal and food.

This was our second time at camelback resort to enjoy the indoor water park and other indoor amenities. It seems the place has endured some wear and tear that does not seem to be rectified. A lot of rust and mildew on the stairs and rails in the water park. This is not surprising due to the constant moisture but it should be maintained. What if one of my four kids got a cut in the park? Also thought the mediocre food was overpriced. And for two nights at almost 2000 dollars, a parking fee? That’s just ridiculous. The rooms are nice, however, you can tell the wear and tear. Just doesn’t seem like a well-maintained resort, which for the price point it should be. Probably will not return and we’ll try a different resort next time.

STAY AWAY of this place. We booked what was supposed to be a suite with 2 bedrooms for $1300 a night, it was a 1 bedroom and a bed in a hallway. We were 6 people, 2 kids for a pull out bed, we had 4 pillows, we asked for additional pillows but we were denied. At 9pm there is no restaurants open to eat, you have to go out of the hotel, they don't have room service and NO customer service you can call, you have to text someone and they take a very long time to answer, when I complained about all the issues I was met with a nasty attitude, not even an apology, this place is not even worth $150 a night. The skii area are a scam too, we called to cancel our reservation because it was raining, they said because their office was open they would not cancel our reservation. Said we had to make a new reservation and then they would return the money for the rainy day, I did not believe them, what a scam!

Terrible weekend here - do not stay here!! I wish I could give negative stars.Absolutely no service/hospitality. The hotel overbooks overnight and day guests, leading to a mad house throughout the property including Aquatopia. They have zero regard for guest satisfaction. Management is not helpful or understanding, but instead blame everything on it being a "busy weekend".Everything that could go wrong with the ski school process did go wrong. Their IT system wasn't working correctly - we had confirmed ski/snow tube tickets/classes but when we got there our tickets didn't work, so we needed to wait in long lines to get it rectified with Guest Services. Every. single. time. We left with unhappy and disenchanted kids.This isn't an inexpensive option - save your money and go elsewhere. I will never come back here.

A Disheartening Experience at Camelback Mountain - A Day of Frustration and DisappointmentMy family's eagerly anticipated trip to Camelback Mountain turned into an utterly disheartening experience, marking it as my worst-rated mountain visit ever. The excitement of introducing my toddlers to the joys of skiing was met with a series of organizational failures that not only wasted our time but also left us cold and disillusioned.Upon arrival on Saturday, February 18th, I invested $50 in a VIP parking spot, expecting a smooth start to our day. However, the first sign of trouble appeared at the ticket windows, which were replaced by an automated ticket scanner, leaving only a single Camelback employee to assist a growing crowd of confused visitors. Seeking lift tickets, toddler passes, and rentals, I was directed to a seemingly endless line for the customer service center.With my 3-year-old and 5-year-old in tow, we braved the cold, waiting in a stagnant line from 9:15 am. By 11:30 am, with no progress and no assistance for families with young children, my patience had evaporated. The lack of guidance, help with kids, or any semblance of efficient service forced me to abandon our plans. Two hours of driving, preparation, and anticipation culminated in a decision to leave, making it clear that Camelback Mountain has lost sight of providing a welcoming or family-friendly environment.I spent money on VIP parking and went to great lengths to prepare for a memorable day, only to be met with negligence. Camelback Mountain, I assure you, this was my last visit. Your disregard for customer experience, especially for families with young children, is unacceptable. Camelback is now, in my eyes, a place to avoid at all costs. I hope my experience serves as a cautionary tale for others seeking a pleasant and accommodating mountain adventure.

DO NOT STAY AT CAMELBACK!We DID NOT enjoy our stay at Camelback. The price of the rooms and resorts cost do not align with the service and limited activities. We booked during spring break and half of the resort activities & Restaurants were closed. Dinning was limited and the water park was FILTHY! The limited closures should have been communicated to customers via their website or through customer service when I contacted them. The resorts main restaurant (Hemispheres) was only open for breakfast. The Tavern Pub came out to $238 for a family of five (chicken tenders fires, burgers & a salmon dinner. (No dessert or appetizers). The House keeper was unable to communicate with us as she does not speak English and I unfortunately do not speak Spanish. The waterpark was truly nasty. The bathrooms were not maintained in a timely manner and the kids area had paint chips floating in the water. The food at the water park is the exact equivalent of school lunch. Seriously. Chuck e cheese pizza would be better. We didn't even finish our food. There was no ice available at the soda machine. The the arcade was also limited. The escape room was not utilized as you need to locate an associate to set up. Unfortunately, the only person available was one young lady who was counting tickets, distributing prizes and answers questions.. We truly felt bad for her. Overall, we spent over $2000 for three nights with a below average experience. Additionally, I communicated my dissatisfaction via the Survey that was provided after our stay. As of today, no one has gotten in touch with us. This only confirms to me that the quality of the guest experience is not valued. I would not recommend staying at Camelback. Compare the other park first.

I have never in all my life had a worse experience staying at a resort like this. For starters, my room was book months in advance for a Monday into Tuesday stay. Check-in is supposed to be at 3pm- and we were there early to swim-but I spent over an hour waiting in line to check-in. BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE OUR ROOM READY FOR US UNTIL ALMOST 8PM THAT NIGHT. We weren't the only ones- there were unhappy visitors all over the lobby complaining of the same issue. We had no intentions on being at the waterpark that late. It was so unpleasant- we were all (kids included) miserable waiting that long. Then once we finally had access to our room we had no towels and were missing blankets and pillows. We reached out to the front desk 3 times and they still never brought them up to us and were unable to hand them out at the front desk. This left us unable to use an entire bed for the night. The cable on the tv was glitching so badly- we weren't even able to watch a family movie as we had planned. It was such a terrible and extremely expensive. I HIGHLY recommend saving your time and money and NOT STAYING HERE. This stay was supposed to be a nice getaway for my family and I- it ended up being the most stressful unpleasant stay I have ever had.

I just toured the museum which was free. There is a lot here, it's an impressive collection although maybe a bit of a struggle to understand the rhyme or reason to some of the trains or pieces in the collection. I preferred the Pennsylvania train museum but both are impressive. I didn't do any of the train rides, perhaps that would have bumped it to 5 stars.

We drove an hour to visit here and were not disappointed. I was extremely shocked that everything was free except the train ride which was still only $6! It was just a short ride back and forth, about 20 minutes, but still cool to see what it was like to be in and old train.If you take your time and actually read, look, and listen to all the information in the museum, you could spend HOURS here. We soeny most the day and had packed a picnic lunch we enjoyed on a picnic table there. The mall is right next door if you happen to need something else. ;)

This is an amazing place to take anyone who is a fan of trains, the history of this region or just someone looking to explore something new. The collection of steam engines is vast and it's definitely worth taking the rail yard shuttle, for just $6 you get a decent length ride that shows you some good views

Located in Scranton PA (City of Scranton), Steamtown National Historic Site has an amazing history about trains, more specifically, steam trains. Steamtown showcases steam locomotives when they ruled the USA railways and offers a working turntable, exhibits featuring what life was like working at the roundhouse, how it felt when on a train car, and much more regarding these historic locomotives. It is an amazing place if you enjoy trains and history.

A lovely and family-friendly place to visit in Scranton; it's pleasant to see the old lifeblood of the Wyoming Valley maintained by such knowledgeable and friendly staff. I do wish they had more trains, but the nation as a whole is lacking them so I can't complain.As for attractions? Steamtown NHS has the largest steam locomotive in history (the Union Pacific Big Boy), and the gorgeous Reading T1 is stunning to see. Even the smallest mašinka are giant up close, and the indoor exhibits are tastefully done and quite informative. Plus, the local railroad company uses parts of the facility as an active track, so visitors can regularly see and hear trains at work, which really adds to the experience.Do keep on mind that active trains can be loud, so visitors sensitive to sudden noise should be forewarned.

The place to go if you have any interest in trains! Mostly vintage steam engines but also some diesel electric locomotives. Loads of hands on stuff. Climb into the engineer's seat and ring the bell! Learn all about rail power and railroading. Take an excursion or a short caboose ride. A super fun place to visit! (Plan a couple of days and also visit the trolley museum on site!). Thank you National Park Service!

I'm trying to visit as many National parks and monuments as possible. We were driving through PA, so we stopped at Steamtown. It's very informative. They have quite a collection of old engines, a working roundhluse/turntable, and extensive displays. We took the 30-min short ride, which was okay, but you don't really go anywhere. It's $6 for adults and $1 for young kids.

Real great national historic site. It’s really amazing what the National Park Services has done to preserve this important piece of American rail history. Very detailed and fun exhibits. Feel free to move along at your own pace. You can easily spend a couple hours reading and watching all the materials that have been prepared. Rangers are there to help you if you need it.

Cool bucket list place if you're a buff. Was neat to see Delaware Lackawanna shifting cars around for Taylor yard. Roundhouse was open and we got to see them doing work to #26. Was cool to get a view up above. History Museum was a bit tacky and was hoping for it to be a little more in depth but probably interesting if you have little knowledge on railroading prior to going. Loved seeing the Steam engines on static display and seeing the trainset for the Moscow trip. It's amusing to me after 4 years that the Visitor center and theater still aren't open, but admission is free so I can't complain.

Just Incredible! They rebuit the Roundhouse into the largest museum of the railroad I have ever visited. Ut was great luck for me to arrive just as they fired up a restored engine for a few laps around the yard

Amazing facility to visit over and over. It's not too often you can roam around a working railroad. Keep safety in mind when exploring the displays. Check the schedule for tours, short train rides or even excursions. Admission to the site and round house are free. Displays are super informative and include full size cut-aways to help explain steam and diesel technology. I've been a visitor for years but I wish I had made the initiative to visit for the first time many many years earlier.

Amazing experience! This museum is one of the best I've ever been. Great organized, you're going through the history of railroads of the United States. Exhibits are made of the real locomotives so that you can see the greatest and the real size of them. Also there are a lot of educational exhibits, so you can learn how it was done and worked.Would definitely recommend to visit

Steamtown is an amazing museum that tells a good stories about trains and how trains influence the ways American lives. It has a very large yard with an impressive collection that consists of locomotives, and many passenger cars. Its massive locomotive shop has many engines in various stages of restoring. Its technology museum has exhibits that demonstrates the changes in railroad technology over the years.This museum is a must stop for both train enthusiasts and common folks. A good place to walk around to soak in the grandeur of machinery that improved the quality of life for many, and it tells a very good stories of how trains transformed America over the years.Many things to do here. You can easily spend a whole day here.

It was a nice day. It's only six bucks for entry and that includes the the ride on a historic steam engine locomotive. The ride is short. It doesn't go fast but it's it's fun to do to be on one of those trains from 100 years ago and the locomotives they have around for you to walk through was amazing. The history of the steam locomotive was amazing. It was good for the kids. My grandkids enjoyed it and like for six bucks a kid a person you can't go wrong. Only negative thing I have to say is that the other some of the buildings were closed. The only thing they did have open was the museum shop or the book shop where you can go in and buy a souvenirs but it was interesting. It was good. It was a good day

It's a working railroad. Come ride a steamtrain or an interurban. Explore a real roundhouse. This is a National Park. It's free. Train rides are $6. Looks like plenty of restoration work to be done . Also, there is a Trolly Museum on site.

I stop here each time I go through THE ELECTRIC CITY, it's free and interesting. I wish it were funded better though, seeing as half of the museum has been closed for over a year due to HVAC issues. Tragic.

Took the excursion to Gouldsboro to the craft fair. Nice venue. Had a beautiful day to go. Got some lovely items.Great train ride and helpful staff.

What a 💎. This place is great for families. They have a junior ranger program for the little ones to complete and after it they get inducted as a junior ranger with certification and a badge. There a demonstrations ranging from rotating a 300 ton engine to riding on a handcar. It’s a fun place for all ages.

On our most recent mini roadtrip we stopped in Scranton, PA. and visited Steamtown, National Park. Probably because time of the year there was plenty of parking available, and we stopped at the information shed and spoke with a Park Ranger who was very informative and friendly. Asked a bunch of questions and got excellent information for our answers. This place is incredible, done right, beautiful resource and free as a National Park. Steam locomotives and the shops they are maintained in. Spoke to staff who were stationed at many different locations. This place is excellent for a young family, smooth walkways and many safe spots to view the history of the steam age of railroading. We ate lunch prior to stopping in so we didn't sample any food that was available. Exhibits are perfectly presented. In the back shop saw the ring of fire presentation on how they change wheels on the huge steam locomotives. You have the opportunity to take a ride on the outskirts of Scranton. There are so many pieces of equipment to see here leave yourself at least a hour and half or more. It was a real thrill to be able to go into the Engineers cab on the "Big Boy" locomotive one of only eight surviving that were originally built, this locomotive is enormous and super heavy. Saw some locomotives that are currently in for repairs and a few outside waiting their turn to be restored.

This place was amazing. Just to see where we started back in the early 1900's till now is mind-blowing. To see how small the sleeping carts were then, I'd rather walk. lol This is a great place to take kids to learn about some history & they get to ring the bell as well.

Amazing display of trains the Union Pacific Big boy is an amazing condition wonderful to see awesome to see a giant piece of machinery that has spent over a million miles on the rails. If you're an office fan pen daniel Daniel n papers is right up the road be sure and get a picture. Highly recommend the train ride is very short.

Very nice depot will well preserved engines, friendly staff.The best collection is that cross section cut locomotive.Good place to bring kids.

A great place for a railroad enthusiast, young or old. They've painted the Union Pacific 4012 Big Boy and it looked great. They've also painted Reading 2124 and it looks nice as well. The rest of the area was clean and they had park rangers and a couple of guides to answer questions. Thectrolley museum was open as well with trolley rides. (Steamtown is free, but trolley museum has a cost.)

Really amazing place you can see trains for free, they have great historical trolly ride.

Steamtown National Historic Site, Scranton PAGreat place to visit, even if only briefly as I did in May 2024. I'm not a train fanatic, but I do think the machines are interesting. I only had an hour before closing, but you should plan on 2-3 hours. It's free. The site & building construction is interesting and very practical as it's centered, literally, around a locomotive / rail car turntable. A rail car would roll onto the turntable, the table would turn to face one of the rail car garages ("Roundhouse" bays) surrounding the turntable, then drive in. Almost all buildings on the site appear to be formerly parts of the Roundhouse. The History Museum is nicely air conditioned, in case of hot or nasty weather. and has rest rooms. The Roundhouse is the part of the Roundhouse (railup car garage) that is still used for it's original purpose: maintenance & repair. It's definitely worth a walk-through to see all the locomotives and cars in there being worked on. The Technology Museum (closed as of May 2024) uses another section of the original Roundhouse.One of the more interesting locomotives on display outside, on the right just as you enter the grounds, is the H.K. Porter fireless locomotive, made in Pittsburgh PA. It's basically battery operated (though it's not electrical, and strictly speaking a battery stores electrical energy). The "Public Service #6816" carried no fuel, no coal, and had no firebox or boiler to heat water and create steam. Instead it plugged into an external power supply, in this case an external steam boiler, and charged up it's "battery" pack (steam reservoir) with up to 190 PSI of steam. It then ran as a switching locomotive for ...it doesn't say how long. But, New Jersey residents take note, it was used by Public Service Electric (& Gas, PSE&G) at their Newark NJ coal-fired power plant starting in 1923.

We visited Steamtown National Historical Site on a weekend. The rangers greeted us with smiles and were very informative. The site has acres of steam locomotive history. Lots of photo opportunities. Great place for family time.

It is amazing that this place is free for everyone. I've been visiting since I was a little kid and look forward to bringing my kids here one day. One of only a handful of places keeping these beautiful steam powered beasts alive. Definitely a great stop even for those not into trains.

Steamtown is the pinnacle of America’s growth on display. Our Railroads helped build America through technology, and economic expansion. From the early 19th century to today America’s Railroads are a part of our daily lives.The many exhibits of RR memorabilia at Steamtown is an awesome trip through history.

Took the grankids. They loved the trains. The tour was very well done by two volunteers and while interesting for us grown-ups, was a bit too long for the children. There are displays inside and a 20minute video. All-in-all a good visit. Biggest disappointment was that the trains don't run except on weekends. We knew that going in but went anyway since it was the only day we could while the family was here. We were surprised that there was no charge to get in!

This place is such a beauty! It’s free to enter, just make sure it’s open. They had “The Big Boy”! Such an amazing sight to see. Definitely a fun place to learn as well, they have amazing history about trains and freight going across America and how everything has changed. I fell in love with the history and everything I saw about the history. The trains are cool, and you can go in most (not all) trains!

First visit to this park and it hit all the points I like in good parks: multiple attractions and extensive hiking trail system. I have hiked Davis and Rodman trails along Roaring Brook with impressive views of the gorge. There are multiple viewpoints along Davis trail, some of them get close to the falls via stone stairs. Brooks Mine was another top attraction of the park for me.

What a gorgeous place!! What a 💎 of a park!There are so many hidden spaces and gorgeous views. It's well designed and if it had a little more TLC (some of the playgrounds definitely need some love and fixing).The "castle playground" was just exceptional! Definitely needs a few touches and a new layer of wood chips, a few new boards! But what a magical space for the kids!Unfortunately the pool space is under construction 🚧 but I can see it will be amazing for the community!There is a smaller playground that has a sign "closed/do not use the equipment". I really hope the city invests in updating and fixing it!

We loved these hikes. They are well-marked and the difficulty is also described.Some of the trails have been broken up by weather, so there are overlooks that are closed, for instance.I beg of the folks who frequent, though: please pick up your trash. There are trash cans at the trailheads. Or other folks passing through, bring a bag to pick up some trash. It is tragic how it interferes with the look of the place not to mention the harm it can have on our waterways and foodways.

A nice place to hike in the city, with some really pretty views. And i like that it is pet friendly. But the park is not well taken care of. The weeds are overgrown, and wooden railings and platforms are rotting away. It could be great if the city would invest some time and money into fixing it back up.

Had an absolutely amazing time. There was so much going on that I could see and do. It's hard to believe this place is essentially in downtown Scranton.I love the walking trails. I also noted that there's great running loops as well (I'm a runner so I'll give that a try soon).Everyone was out and about. Kids were jumping from a rock face into a waterfall basin. Probably didn't see or care about the signs saying not to, but hey. It's summer!Most trails were easy. But the hard trails were true to their description.This day, I feel like I did a lot. Hiked, went to the museum, took waaaaay too many photos, and did the mine tour (apparently only open on Saturdays).When you're in da hood, make sure to drop by. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing place to visit. I never thought there was such a beautiful waterfall in a local spot. The trails could be maintained a little better. Most of it is washed out going to the bridge over the gorge. You can also access a pretty cool train tunnel.

Decent size. Lots of parking. Free admission. Dogs are welcome. Lots to see. They do a Christmas light show, not free, during the holiday season. Port a potty’s. Tree house, cafe, statues, memorials, coal mining tribute, water falls, grills. Decent amount of tails, some easier than others but none are difficult.

A perfect spring day hike. A nice way to explore the sights and nature in Pennsylvania. The trails were well maintained and easy to navigate. I had a lot of fun and there was much to see

The playground is a sad, unfriendly place where you are reminded of a once happy, bright playing area people would bring their children for an afternoon of glorious play now reduced to nothing more than a place for your child to be seriously hurt. Thank God the hospital is so close. The walking trail is beautiful though and was much more pleasant.

Nice big park. Has 2 huge playgrounds for kids with swing and slides. Walking trail along the side of waterfall. David Wenzel treehouse is the best place to lookout for waterfall. Handicapped accessible through out the park.Picnic tables are available .It looks so beautiful During fall season with all different varieties of colors of trees

Only walked one trail and have so much more to explore here. They are pet friendly.

We love nay aug it has various levels of difficulty for trails and wonderful photo spots. There is now a coffee shop, everhart museum and now a coal mine tour. Please make this a must see when you visit scranton it's so much more than the office.

Nice enough park for a short day hike. Most of the trails are well managed and clean. Plenty of places for kids.Cons: outer trails are not maintained and covered with lots of broken glass and large garbage. At least one overlook platform is in very poor, unsafe condition.

Nice walking and hiking trails, lovely falls. Got a bonus: tour of the Brooks coal mine on site (tours available only on Saturdays 10a-5p). Fascinating stuff!

Located about a half mile on route 81 in Scranton this park has a lot of trails and activities to discover including the Paul Kanjorski Bridge, the David Wenzel tree house with a nice view of the mountains and a Gorge with a beautiful waterfall, however the trails are not well maintained there is glass and garbage around the trails and also not well marked so watch your step and take a picture of the map at the beginning of the park for the best reference

Since I moved to Scranton last year this has to be one of my most favorite places to go! It's just so peaceful.

This is a beautiful Park and well maintained. My wife and I went walking on the trails and they all park and on the same weekend we did bushkill falls. By far this park was better and best of all, it's completely free with the exception of a few things. Nice job Scranton! Proud to be a local.

Great overlook from the tree house. We hike down to the water fall. From the tree house only 5 minutes. Beautiful.

So so so cool. If your in the area check it out. The tree house was like something out of a magazine. The kids playground could definitely use a major overhaul. One slide is like 2 feet off the ground. Overall a nice park though! We did a little BBQ while there aswell. There were porta potties which were maintained and quite clean

One of my fave places 💕 Highly recommend a visit on a beautiful day.

I absolutely love this safe haven of nature in the heart of Scranton. It's kept clean, there are lots of walking trails, and different activities areas. This public space is such a lovely part of the city. A breath of nature to truly behold. On the back end are the old train tracks and tunnels. It's really cool to see how the gorge runs along these old tracks. The nature and history of this location is just lovely.

A nice park right within the city of Scranton! The waterfall/gorge area is beautiful, but a lot of people ignore all the signage and go over the fence. It's sad to see so many people ignore safety signs and then have to hear about people dying! We tried calling about it, but the hours of the rangers are pathetic. But a nice place to go for a little walk.

Nice family drive to see the Christmas lights. I love this park in all seasons. PERFECT for all occasions!

It's an easy stop if you're on a long haul in 81 and need a nature break. We visited on a warm February weekend. The runoff in the gorge was filthy. Couldn't believe how gross the water looked and smelled. Not sure if it was open sewage or the result of so much old time mining in the area. The trails are fine but can be difficult to navigate. Lock your car. There was a roaming hoodied guy loitering in the parking lot that made us kind of nervous.

Room was immaculate, pool area was beautiful with a bar! Great area to spend a cold winter day, the only thing was the water could have been a couple degrees warmer which would have made it perfect but still very nice. casino was a good size and we found the staff to be nice especially our dealer at the roulette table made the experience better. Overall a very nice time no problems and they have valet parking which was also nice in the cold. If you do not like smoke then do not stay here as in most casinos you can smoke there, the weekdays are a little better as far as how strong it is but would still visit again!

I've been to Mt. Airy a handful to times with my husband, who has also come with friends previously. The rooms are the perfect amount of space to spread out and prep for a great night down at the casino. The only improvement for the rooms would be a microwave. There are some really great food spots nearby but when you can't heat up your food it limits your options.The casino is welcoming and secure. There is smoking on the floor, so just be aware of that if you have any lung conditions. You have a fair chance of winning your money back and having fun even if you don't. The staff are pleasant and eager to assist. Overall, we will be continuing coming to Mt. Airy for years to come!

The rooms would’ve been flawless but there was one issue with the bathrooms there was no ventilation fan so if someone does number two the whole room smells and the second item is that the rooms don’t come with a fridge they charge extra for refrigerator and also it should’ve came with a medical fridge that we requested upon reservation which never came so those are the items that knocked down the star rating. Other than that the room was immaculate. It was a great place great view, clean room everything else was great. The only complaint that I have is that we requested a medical fridge for my diabetic medication and it never came so we called and made that a point to get one and also when we got to the front desk but someone did not bring the fridge to our room, which ended us having an early departure. That is my reading of this location.

Just went here with my husband for the night so we didn’t have to drive home late night after a concert. Everything was fantastic. There is a review listed below from four months ago stating that they were only checking the identification of African Americans which is pure false and baiting. The front desk carded everyone to ensure no one under 21 was there. Staff was excellent, friendly and professional. Room and entire facility was clean. Yes, smoking was allowed. My husband and I do not smoke but it wasn’t a big deal. Not sure what some of the complaints are in other reviews but it seems like people just want something to complain about. I highly recommend.

Plenty of well lit parking ♡ Valet available if needed too♡On entering the building, you are greeted by the delicious smell off coffee! I bought 2 coffees/Lattes that were amazing!We headed up to have dinner at Guy's diner. I had the chicken tacos for $14. The soft tacos were stuffed to the top with chicken! I ate them all! My son had the chicken strip $17. Approx 7 very large fat chicken strips! Our friend had the burger and fries for $17. The burger was huge!!!Guy's had milkshakes $12 each. They were Meh, bland vanilla, no real zest/ bang.Our waitress was great! She was sweet and attentive. I'd eat here again! And again!Casino is well lit and full of security ♡ I felt safe and not worried about my well being. The older gentlemen that checked our IDs was very cute♡My friend had a seizure. He runs when a seizure hits. Security and patrons helped us locate the direction he ran.I will come back to enjoy the whole experience ♡

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.

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.

Love going to the casino every time we come up from TX. Everyone is always so friendly. This trip we didn't have much time so it was slots. Wife enjoys playing poker. The buffet is pretty good. Never had any bad tasting food. Waitresses are always top notch and helpful. The only complaint I have are the players cards. Always have to reinsert the card several times to get it to read or try another slot machine. Wife had the same problem but not as bad as my card.

The only other place that I can mentally compare this location to is the Mohegan Sun Pocono in Wilkes-Barre, PA.The Mount Airy Casino is very nice with a little more space around the slot machines. I noticed that there are less people there during the workdays. The complimentary drinks are definitely better than the Mohegan Sun. The lighting could definitely be a little dimmer, like Mohegan, so that when you start enjoying yourself (feeling the drinks) you don't feel weird when the staff looks directly at you while walking by, I didn't like that.. You also cannot buy multiple drinks at the bar for your wife or friend while they're playing, I didn't like that either.. The staff seemed to be very nice, but the cleanup crew was another story.Overall, it's a nice place, but there's obviously trust issues here. I would recommend the lighting should get dimmed, just a little more, and this would compensate for the staff staring/judging you when walking around. Either the cleanup staff needs to get paid more, and/or, hire employees that try to smile more (professionalism) and be a little less judging to others that are trying to enjoy themselves, regardless what day it is.Besides all that, this place would be my fallback casino to go to. Oh, and for some reason, whoever thought of/designed that the smoking section be directly when you enter the casino, was not a good idea, but at least the place is pretty clean, so that's good.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing weekend stay. Wow the hotel and rooms are beautiful and VERY CLEAN and the bed was so cozy! (Kudos to housekeeping!) Ice machines are wonderful. Great room service!! Great old school bell desk and valet parking! Food in the casino: the fancy Italian restaurant has the best chicken parm ever. Wow 🤩! The indoor pool was 10/10. Front desk was awesome too. - Constructive Critics: the casino should let you take unfinished drinks to the room or get a hotel bar decoupled from the floor (or offer an escort or something). The To-go pizza place is absolutely horrible. The taste was nasty and the kid working was clearly so high from weed. I was disappointed that roulette is a $25 minimum, although there was semi-electronic/live roulette for $5 it was not the same. Again on the same disappointed blackjack was $25/min. Please make it $5-$10, plenty of unused tables or dealers standing around with no players for games people don’t like; working class people like to enjoy classic table games on vacation too, please don’t price us out. Slots were very great, good selection and good fun, no complaints there.

Our king suite was spacious and clean however for the price we paid for two nights, the view was far from what we had expected. Front desk asked us multiple times if we had anyone under 21 staying with us yet never once asked us to show identification. The only time I noticed anyone getting asked for id was if they were African American. Customer service in this place is non existent and you’ll have a hard time finding any staff who appear to be enjoying their job.Room service offered the best tasting food in the entire resort.Spa was the best part but prices were really steep compared to other spas like woodloch.Pool was fun but the waitress and bartenders had to be chased down for anything we wanted to order. Also the pool was littered with dirty towels, discarded cups and dirty dishes.Casino was just alright but the smoke kept us from staying long as it is everywhere you turn. We had two older slot machines eat our money and we’re told we could speak to a manager but not to expect any money returned to us. This place is just not friendly or shows their customers appreciation. Been to quite a few casinos and just feel this one isn’t worth visiting. Go somewhere your valued for any amount of money you spend at their establishment.

We go for the buffet which is fantastic and reasonably priced. The building is beautiful outside and inside. The only down side is their comps are very low. You don't earn very much from casino play. After the pandemic the casino was smoke free and it was great. As a cancer patient it do not appreciate others smoking indoors. And smoke free areas still get the smoke and smokers do not respect the non smoking areas all the time.

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and decided to go Mt. Airy for a 4 day getaway. As advertised, the place was beautiful. The ambiance and our view were pretty nice; services such as reception, bellhop, and valet were awesome - professional and kind. It stops there! The room was okay at best, not quite what my husband expected when he booked it and quite average for the price charged - no fridge to chill beverages and no microwave to heat up food 🙄. We were not aware that smoking was allowed on the premises AT ALL! We settled in and went to get something to eat - the buffet was pretty good with the exception of being charged almost $20 extra on Saturdays and Sundays. As soon as we hit the entrance to the casino, I smelled cigarette smoke. What?! We grabbed a few masks from one of the receptionists - who also stated the smoking bothers her as well - before making our way to the buffet. All of the restaurants are located in the vicinity of the casino where smoking is allowed, so on the second day it was quite difficult to enjoy our meal because you could smell the smoke. Although they had "non-smoking" areas, they were literally located right next to smoking sections - which logically didn't make any sense. The pool area was okay, one of the best spots since smoking was not permitted. This place seems more for older retirees than any other group - no form of entertainment outside of the few restaurants and casino. They claimed to have live music - never heard it. Even if they performed, we would not have been able to enjoy it. To top it off, we couldn't even win the money back spent on meals! We will definitely not be returning - even if it was comped.

We came for our honeymoon. We spent 3 nights and 4 days! From 10/16 to 10/20. We wanted to stay an extra night but for the Friday night it was a little over our price range of what we wanted to spend. Staff told us one price down at the front desk and then another at the service desk. It was okay though. We decided to head home.Our stay was fantastic though, we tried a couple restaurants in the casino which both were very good!The room was nice and clean when we walked in and we were able to call down if we needed anything and someone brought it up to us in a timely manner. We also enjoyed the pool very much! We spent some time down there and just relaxed!The hotel was close to many different activities, we went to pocono outdoor adventure which was about 20 minutes away!

Visited the casino for a few hours on a Tuesday afternoon. Employees were pleasant and machines were modern with good upkeep. Casino looks well kept and clean. Machines and tables were hitting. I would come back and stay in the hotel. Note: smoking is allowed inside the casino in the gaming area.

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!

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!!!

Had a great time. The hotel and casino were both very clean. Great shower (but would have loved a tub). Like most reviews I've read about this resort, it will get 4 stars because of the lack of a mini fridge in the room (this should be a standard amenity nowadays), and the prices of the mini bar items. Most nice hotels now provide a few complimentary bottles of water, but if you wanted the water in this room it cost $7! Yikes. Checkout was smooth, staff very friendly, valet was surprisingly quick. Overall we would definitely stay again, but I hope they get on par with the fridge situation.

The casino and hotel is beautiful and offers a lot of amenities. Bistecca’s restaurant was wonderful! The staff was amazing, very helpful and pleasant to deal with. They have a great pool area, the outdoor pool was closed since it’s November, but the pool was not warm, about room temperature and the hot tub area was the same.The casino prices change depending on the day. Friday night roulette was $15 minimum, but Saturday was $25 tables only, too high for my taste.The rooms are nice and clean, but unfortunately the entire place wreaks of cigarettes! It’s really disgusting. We were there because of a wedding, but I won’t be back unless they change the smoking rules. There should be smoking areas that are properly ventilated and sealed so everyone doesn’t have to suffer the affects of second hand smoke. It’s a shame, it’s a really nice place.

Just came back from our second visit there.Both times were a great experience. Have tried the spa for a couples massage, which was relaxing, soothing, and fun.The buffet is also excellent, worth the price for sure. Lots of choices, clean tables, friendly folks all around.The guestrooms were also quite nice- spacious and warm.Only thing I would say is be aware that they add on charges like a resort fee, even if you are not gonna use any of the facilities.Also, like many other businesses affected by this post Covid economy, not much going on in the resort, entertainment wise, except on Fridays and Saturdays...

My husband and I stayed at Mt. Airy for 2 days in December 2022. Our room(king bed) was nice; clean. We had $80 in comps for food each day, which took care of our dinner at the buffet, except for about $5 or $6.The buffet was very good, with a wide assortment of salad, meats, and various entrees. My only complaint was there is no refrigerator in the rooms for guests to use; only the one stocked with beverages. We had brought some fruit and bottled water which My husband likes ice cold, so we had to "make do" with the ice bucket and some plastic bags.Looking forward to another visit later this month or next; I'll bring a small insulated cooler with ice packs next time.

Good location and amazing casino setting! Dozen of Black Jack tables and I played the Texas Poker and the guy who was dealing was funny, helpful and courteous. I was surprised with the min buy-ins during the Saturday’s being in the range of 10-25$. We really had a good time during our visit and did break few of the laws (clicking pictures on the floor) but the security was kind enough to make us understand in a nice and courteous manner. They have a very huge campus too!

Great casino resort. Rooms are tastefully decorated and the casino small yet very alive!! Had a blast I do frequent there often. Food is great. We love the personal pizza and Guys Kitchen. Casino was very alive and doing well and the staff is nice. I’ll be back soon.

my boyfriend and i wanted to change up the normal thanksgiving routine & decided to have a 4 day getaway at this resort . the hotel was very clean & classy which we loved . pretty quiet. nice rooms , just no refrigeration which upset us. the food was good for a resort plus there’s not much food in the area anyway. the water how every was very cloudy coming out of the faucet which was interesting. room service was very timely but each time we were missing items from our orders. we are also a newly of age couple both 21 from another state …. and CONSTANTLY got starred down and ID’d during our entire stay which made us uncomfortable. the tax plus the automatic gratuity added for each little thing was excessive on top of the extra fees you already pay to stay in the first place … thanks but no thanks ..

Went for some casino slot fun. It ended after $800 in the hole. Slots were extremely tight no matter a low or high bet. We tried both without any luck. We planned on eating at the buffet but the high price per person was extreme. I mean, come on $40+. The casino seems to get the max out of everyone that enters. Not many new machines. Mostly the really old machines. Don't think ill be back. Our planed fun trip was a real dud.👎

Cigarette smoke in the Casinò was very apparent in the no smoking sections. Very low payouts at the slots.Pool was clean and well maintained. Rooms we're clean and enjoyable. Finding our room was a challenge. Room numbers are mixed uphad to get help from staff.Overall we had a pleasant stay.

We weren't happy about the ventalation. The smell of smoke really irritated our breathing. I managed to loose on the slots but was able to win more on roulette. The dealers were very nice and the tables were at a fair betting range. Food wasn't bad but overpriced for the quality. The representatives at the front desk were polite and cordial. I think we are good for a while.

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.

I didn't stay at the rooms because I was killing time playing texas holdem while waiting and visiting a close friend of mine close by the casino. Small casino for get away couples to do more together, nice view of the mountains and trees. They have a golf course with the view of the beautiful lake or pond. Nice to venture out one in a while here.

Very nice place to go. Don't not bring anyone under 21 period. The restaurants all require you to be 21 to eat. The entrance was very nice , gaming floor was clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were very nice and clean. The parking lot was away from the entrance so be able to walk

I took my dad here for his 60th birthday and we had such a fantastic time! The service was impeccable everyone here from valet, check-in desk, coffee shop, bartenders. Every staff member we encountered was so kind. The pool is gorgeous, the rooms are really nice and the beds are super comfortable! We ate at Bistecca on the property and that was amazing too. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mt. Airy!

I can never say enough about Mt. Airy & what the property has to offer! I have been a guest previously, but I was married there on May 11th, 2024 & the service was nothing less than AMAZING! We selected the Elite Package for our guests. The food was super delicious & top shelf spirits were served. The service is always stellar with friendly and energetic staff, including Nicole McGlynn, the event coordinator who worked with us. She was calm, reassuring & organized. Loved her!!! Thank you all for a magical evening. Can't wait to plan another getaway with Mt. Airy.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here. The hotel/casino staff were wonderful! So friendly and eager to assist if needed. Guys Restaurant was AMAZING! The food was delicious and our server Thomas was awesome! The hotel/casino is beautiful and very clean, we loved the decor throughout. Thank you for making our 21st Anniversary memorable! We will definitely come back again!

The hotel and casino are both extremely clean and updated. The staff is amazing and friendly. Complimentary valet and bellman service made checking in to the hotel a breeze. Views from the room are amazing as well. Would definitely stay again.

If I could rate this lower I would. A bus of my friends and I stopped by the casino on Saturday May 4th as part of our Pocono trip. Some of sat at the bar and played the machines and some played other slots. 3 of my friends ordered drinks and when one asked if she could purchase another shot to put in her drink because it tasted like there was no alcohol in it the bartender told her that she had enough and her and 2 other friends were escorted out because they said they were intoxicated which they were not. They had to wait on our bus until we came out. Never ever will I spend my time or money at your casino.

On a recent Visit to Mount Airy lodge. I had guests from South America with me who had idea on their phone and they wouldn't even let us go into a restaurant. W last time I ever come to Mount Airy lodge. Although my both my guests were above the age of 35, they both produced photocopies on their phones and they would not accept it.

First time staying. I really think this is a beautiful place to stay and experience however when you're away on a trip or on vacation or getaway having the pool close at 8pm to me is unheard of and doesn't seem like a typical resort to stay in and relax besides the spa and casino. I think if they even had it open till 9 that would be a better time frame. Because in reality check in is at 4pm. That gives you only 4 hours from time of check in to use it that day. The pool is spacious having heated jets in the one area would make it even more enjoyable. Wish the pool was warmer the whole pool area has no fans or air flow it's very humid. My only other recommendation compared to staying even at other casino resorts standard rooms had a mini fridge was disappointed thats not offered in the rooms. The housekeeping could slightly be improved our room really needed a good dusting. From the light up shelf where they put toiletries in bathroom to the lamp shades covered in dust right next to your bed. Overall we had great service at the front desk, bellman, to buffet staff. Casino staff.

My 5 stars are base on service at the door if you understand what I mean. I could have anyone better. Absolutely very personable !!! Evirn and I'm sorry for forgetting your name it happens sometimes. A very beautiful woman with blond hair cover for him during his break Saturday 6-7-24 very good people! While maintaining great customer relations I still personally witness them be aware and diligently do their job. For that reason I would feel safe going there. BTW. I did not stay so I couldn't comment on room accommodations. Short night...

I can't wait to go back. The food was excellent, rooms were very clean and comfy, and the entire staff made me feel safe and comfortable especially at the casino. I had a blast!

We had a very nice day at the casino. The ride from Jersey was pleasant. The atmosphere of the casino was very nice. The only thing I didn't like was while walking through the casino we walked into the smoking section of the casino which was very unpleasant. I wish there was a way of eliminating the smoke in these places.

I just hit the casino. It was nice, clean staff was friendly. A little more smokey than I would have liked. But we had a good time. I think the bartender could have used a little help trying to cover a 360 degree bar by herself.

Food was great at Guys restaurant. I got the "black and blue burger", Buffalo cauliflower which was some of the best I've ever had highly recommended and the pastrami egg rolls. They were very unique and tasty. Would also highly recommend. For my drink I chose the mojioto it was very good came in a skull glass that can be purchased for ten bucks. Looking forward to going again.

I love staying at Mount Airy Casino Resort. The best thing is the beautiful scenery!!! The next best thing is the pool is really nice and the fact that there's a bar poolside. I love that you could swim from the inside to the outside! The resort is so beautiful. There are multiple restaurants there, and the food is just ok. I love that each time I've gone there, I was able to win something at the casino, however sometimes it's hard to even sit there and play slots because the air is so thick of smoke. I really hate that people are allowed to smoke there because as a nonsmoker, it's very uncomfortable and unpleasant for me. I can't enjoy the casino because of the cigarette smoke 😒. Although the rooms were small, they were pretty nice. Oh and I didn't dare touch the fridge/ wet bar! It was way too pricey. I would've rather had a regular mini fridge to put my own drinks in. The staff were ok. I did run into one particular staff member that was extremely rude though.

We didn't stay here, just visited the casino. They have a nice selection of games. While they have all the new 1 cent machines (which I'm not a fan of) they also have a decent array of 25 cent machines the have real reels and the pull bar! No complimentary beverage center though. Why? They made $100 off me in an hour and I can't get a free 3oz of Sprite?

Slot selection is garbage. Can't get a seat at tables on a Thursday night because they won't open enough tables to accommodate all those that want to play. I used to love this casino, not anymore. If you don't play cards and you love penny slots then you might like the place.
