40 Best Stops Between Morristown and Lexington (2025)

7 lists

Beautiful gardens with such a rich history! There is a gorgeous orchid greenhouse and an Italian marble sculpture garden along the path as well as an amazing Japanese inspired meditation garden. The flowers are absolutely beautiful and we’re in peak bloom when we went (mid May).The visitor center had a lot of information with a small movie. There is a cafe that sold hot food and drinks (fancy coffee) and the food was quite delicious. Highly recommend to stop by before or after to fuel up. The ranger there also told us the best route for us to take and was very enthusiastic about the farms. If you do get his question right, he will give you a Duke Farms sticker 😄The whole trip around the park was around 4 miles, which took about 3 hours with stops and taking photos. The signage and the map is not very clear and can get confusing. We did end up getting a little lost while it rained, but eventually made it back. I hope signage will get better at crossroads.Parking passes and entry into the farm are free, but may need to be booked in advance especially on Saturdays.

Always love visiting the park. Today we took advantage of the bike rental program.They had lots of bikes. All worked very well and were comfortable to ride. Prices were good and the time you have to ride was acceptable. All bikes and helmets were sanitized.Overall I’d recommend the bike share program if your interested.

We really enjoyed the beautiful place. The best is the arboretum with orchids. Nice place for walks or bicycle riding.

Great place to spend an entire day with friends or family. Bike rentals are available at reasonable charges and is a must to explore as much as one can of the 1000acres of land. We were visiting a temple nearby and then decided to explore this farm. Lovely place for picnic and a day out with kids. We covered Orchid Range and Hay Barn which was beautiful. Definitely coming back to explore more of the grounds.

We were able to do an after-hours firefly walk tonight. FUN! It was so quiet and lovely! Our two guides were very informative. They shared just enough info but also let us stop and watch the fireflies dance. As we were finishing up we heard a pack of coyotes as well. What an awesome experience for all ages!

One of my favorite places to explore and take a walk - the park is large with a lot of different routes to take. During spring/summer, you can see the great falls from the lawn. I love visiting the orchard range and greenhouse to see all the beautiful plants and flowers they have - no shortage of beauty!

Duke Farms, located at 1112 Dukes Parkway W in Hillsborough Township, NJ, offers a remarkable and welcoming experience for all visitors. Our visit was truly unforgettable, highlighted by the stunning preservation of the historic home and the expansive, beautifully maintained grounds. The estate seamlessly blends natural beauty with rich history, providing a unique opportunity to explore various gardens, trails, and ecological initiatives. The staff and volunteers are friendly and informative, enhancing our understanding of the estate's legacy and sustainability efforts. Duke Farms is a must-visit destination, perfect for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful and inspiring day out.

Free to go to. Beautiful and lovely green house. Paved trails and plenty of benches for you to rest and take in the views.

Dukes Farms is a great walk/bike if its a nice day! Plenty of trails and paths. The Orchid Greenhouse is amazing as well- gets a little crowded at times but if you go in the earlier AM it is not too bad. We didn’t know we needed a parking pass (it is free,) but we able to still enter.

Beautiful property offers extensive options for exploring. Trails surfaces vary, including paved, stone, grass. Informative, attractive Visitor Center with excellent cafe and friendly staff. Comfortable walking shoes are a must!

Perfect place to spend with the family! We rented bikes for $8, had some food at the local cafe, visited beautiful orchids, watched waterfalls. You must reserve car parking spot in advance, it is free via Eventbrite. There is no availability the same day in summer. We did a week in advance, but at least 1 day in advance is fine.

Best place for walking and has beautiful scenic trails. We visited the orchid arboretum and it was mesmerising.

The location was decent escape for a day. We enjoyed walking around exploring the different spots. We wanted to do the bike rental but it closed around 4 - so i would highly recommend going there early because everything is a bit far to walk. The orchid greenhouse is a Must visit!! Parking was a pain. We parked away and ubered to be dropped off.

An absolute outdoor TREASURE in New Jersey! We easily spent 2-3hrs here just biking around, before picking up some food at the cafe and bird watching for another hour.Main Things to Know:Admission and parking are free (though free reservations are required on saturdays). There are bathrooms, water stations, and a cafe on site. Paths are well-marked. The area doesn't feel crowded, especially on weekdays. The grounds are closed on Sundays and Mondays.My Favorite Sites:- Birding Platform (far right of the visitor's center)- Great Falls (picnic spot; flows on a timed schedule)- Mermaid Pool (picnic spot; by Great Falls)Biking:BYOB (bring your own bike + helmet)2hr rental for $8 / bike + helmet (discounted $5 for children)wide variety of bikes, easy to useI highly recommend bringing your own bike if it's possible. The bike rental tent is a walk away from the parking lot and the visitor's center, so bringing your own bike means you aren't limited to the main grounds or the 2hr rental. Some bikes have bells. Most seem to have a water bottle holder and kickstand. We had issues with the brakes on our bikes, but the staff switched out our bikes and had us back on the road in no time.Bike racks are conveniently available at most main attractions like the meditation garden, orchid range, and great falls.Something to keep in mind while visiting: while bathrooms are located throughout the grounds, water fountains are not as plentiful, so fill up your water bottles before heading out!

Pros:•Well-maintained grounds. Reminds me a little of Versailles Palace in spots.Cons:•Staff I encountered weren't that friendly.•Crossing guard emphatically stated there are signs for pedestrians into the park, from the lot, which is false; What I DID encounter instead was a very friendly "DO NOT ENTER" sign (See photo.)•Access into park from the only lot is quite a distance on foot - approximately 0.3 mi. All gates were locked. I felt unwelcome.•"Great Falls" was dry as a bone. (Again, see photo.)Don't think I'll be back again.

Entrance info might help: farm closed on Sun&Mon. Ticket registration required for Saturday, there will be stuff checking upon entrance. However if you can find parking other places and walk into the park, thats ok. Registration mainly for car parking.Bike rental info might help: Photo id required per group. You need to know how to bike, including children. No bike with supporting wheel. No baskets. No back seat. Bring a backpack if you have extra to carry. Helmets are provided. Max rental time is 2 hours.Park is great. Renting a bike takes too long, line wait 15 minutes. There should be a better way to handle this.

A lovely place to visit on your own or with company. Large area so bike rental is recommended to see all the sites. Good place for unwinding and appreciating nature.

One of the best places to visit if you like nature. Very relaxing and quiet. You can bike around or just walk. The best time to go is on a non holiday it is usually a lot less crowded so you can walk without bumping into folks. We went here with a group of friends and had a great time. They also have a nice little cafe you can visit. Be sure to take lots of pictures since there are plenty of places for the perfect snapshot.

First time visitor to Duke Farms and although the Orientation Center was closed on Tuesday (and Wednesday) we had a fantastic time walking from the parking lot to the Orchid Range (approx. 1.25 mile) over flat paved surface with great signage. So much to see and explore, many trails and a great place for walkers. Easy to find on Rt. 206 Hillsboro, NJ

Had a great time walking around and seeing the orchid range, which was phenomenal. I'll definitely be back! We didn't rent bikes, but next time I will.

Really beautiful campus. I loved walking around and seeing all the different buildings and dorms. It was actually gorgeous. There is a gift shop as well. i love so much it.

Might be the most beautiful, characteristic, iconic university campus in the USA. The town is great as well, high-end small town vibe but with the food and arts of a medium size city. Also, only about an hour from NYC & Philly, reachable by bus or train as well. If you can get in, don’t think twice. Also, just worth a visit to walk around especially strolling the campus around Christmas time near sunset.

Princeton University is a private Ivy League university located in Princeton, New Jersey. It was founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey and is one of the oldest in the U.S.Princeton is ranked among the top universities in the world, and is best known for its rigorous academics, prestigious alumni network, and of course, as its well proclaimed beautiful campus.Princeton offers a broad range of academic programs, with majors ranging from humanities, social sciences, economics, and engineering.Its campus is absolutely beautiful. It consists of various large extensive buildings and structures all throughout the walking area. It is very much common to see students alike and tourists taking photos of such aforementioned structures because of their voluminous space and architecture.Princeton's undergraduate curriculum is based on a liberal arts foundation, requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines.As stated on their respective website:4 years of English4 years of Mathematics4 years of one foreign language2 Years of Laboratory science2 Years of HistoryPrinceton also offers a variety of financial aid programs to help students make college affordable.Not only that, but undergraduates also have the opportunity to conduct independent research, often under the mentorship of Princeton's world-renowned faculty.All in all, Princeton University is a world-class institution that offers students the opportunity to receive a rigorous education and learn from some of the best minds in the world.It is a community where students can grow and thrive, and make lifelong friends from all over the world in an environment where young minds are constantly being challenged and older minds are seeking to serve and teach their years' worth of knowledge.If you are a high school student who is interested in attending Princeton, you should start planning early. Princeton has a very competitive admissions process, and it is important to have strong grades, and extracurricular activities in progress while you still have time.In addition to that, I definitely recommend visiting the campus and talking to current students to learn more about the university,student life, and its unique culture it portrays.

You get to see a lot of Victorian style architecture. Although you will most likely not be able to explore any of the buildings from inside its a great place to walk around and enjoy the architectural marvel. Recommend time of the year is fall especially if you are driving from NY or upstate NJ.

I went here to visit my son on his summer programs. The campus is large, with nice buildings and plazas. Not too easy to find parking space for visitors. They have a large student center and store with restaurants.

Beautiful buildings and campus grounds, but fairly isolated community with very little to do off campus. On-campus alternative food options are fairly pretentious and overpriced, student dining halls rather average at best. Somewhat disappointed overall given the renowned status as a world class Ivy League school.

Really beautiful campus. I stopped by here and don't regret anything. I loved walking around and seeing all the different buildings and dorms. It was actually gorgeous. There is a gift shop as well. I recommend !

Gorgeous campus for a peaceful stroll. A few gentle hills and plenty of beauty all around. If you are visiting and want to explore, you cannot go wrong with an aimless meander. Many excellent food and shopping choices in town. Definitely one of the most beautiful American college campuses.

While Princeton University is often celebrated for its prestigious academic programs and distinguished faculty, there is a notable policy that has been a subject of contention among students and alumni alike: grade deflation. The grade deflation policy, which aims to curb grade inflation and ensure that grades are awarded more stringently, can be seen as unnecessary and even detrimental to the student experience.Firstly, the policy can foster a hyper-competitive atmosphere, where students are not only competing with the rigorous course material but also with each other for the limited supply of higher grades. This environment can stifle collaboration and the free exchange of ideas, which are vital components of a healthy academic community. Instead of encouraging students to learn and explore intellectually, the policy may push them to focus narrowly on achieving high grades at the expense of deeper understanding and creative thinking.Moreover, grade deflation can have significant implications for students' futures. In a world where GPAs often play a critical role in graduate school admissions and job opportunities, Princeton students may find themselves at a disadvantage compared to peers from institutions with more lenient grading policies. This can be particularly disheartening for students who have worked diligently and performed well by objective standards, only to have their efforts diminished by a policy that seeks to limit high grades.Additionally, the stress and anxiety induced by such a stringent grading policy can take a toll on students' mental health and well-being. College is a time for intellectual growth and exploration, but the shadow of grade deflation can loom large over this experience, turning it into a high-stakes competition for academic survival.While the intention behind grade deflation—to uphold academic integrity and prevent grade inflation—may be commendable, the policy's adverse effects cannot be ignored. An academic institution of Princeton's caliber should aim to cultivate a supportive and encouraging environment where students are motivated to learn and grow, not constrained by unnecessary limitations on their academic achievements.

Shooting at Princeton was a joy. The campus lends itself beautifully to romantic photography, offering both history and elegance in one setting.

You get to see a lot of Victorian style architecture. Although you will most likely not be able to explore any of the buildings from inside its a great place to walk around and enjoy the architectural marvel. Recommend time of the year is fall especially if you are driving from NY or upstate NJ.

This is a very old school with charm and beautiful architecture. I just walked through the campus, but it was quite lovely. I cannot attest to the education, but from what the school has posted everywhere, it seemed like a very “where are your papers?” university, which is quite something. I will not doc any stars because of it, but I was not allowed in the university chapel because of it (only students, faculty, or staff allowed)- I know it’s a private school, but I thought these places were supposed to be open to all, like their predecessors in England like Cambridge or Oxford.

The campus is beautiful. It's an arboretum as well. There's a famous rose garden and a nice free museum. You'll also find some of the most pretentious and entitled little monsters south of NYC here. A bastion of "wokeness" and antithetical to academic freedom, it would be wise to avoid Princeton altogether.

This is a very lovely campus. Each building is stunning. The campus is very lovely and interesting. Also walkable and easy to navigate.

A very nice place !!As well someone can visit Albert Einstein's house which is in the same town. Very nice experience visiting the library for the day and being able to read some nice books.

What is not to love about Princeton! It’s a beauty for all those who love the sheer brilliance of a human mind, both literally and metaphorically. The architecture is swoon-worthy! I have long been fascinated by the variety of architectural styles and movements that make up Princeton University’s 268-year-old campus. It is one of America’s oldest and most storied educational institutions, yet it has a surprisingly eclectic collection of nontraditional contemporary buildings. From modernism, postmodernism, deconstructivism, and rationalism, to Einstein and Nash, it is all here. Do stop by Palmer Square for an ice-cream break!

It's beautiful!! It's amazing to walk around the campus. It has a very Hogwarts magical vibe. The buildings, the built and everything about this place has a history (the good and the bad). It almost feels like having a connection with that history while you walk through this place.

Attended the "night form's" display so my experience is just on that not the hole place. Display was significantly smaller then I expected and there was no order whatsoever. People walking both directions through the "one-way" tour. Everyone stopping to take pictures and others walking in front of and all over the displays. Of course taking pictures is to be expected it was just a free for all and people lack common courtesy these days. Some of the stuff was cool but there's a lot of room for them to step up there game in the future. It's 2024 time to step it up with some modern technology for the lighted displays. I will be checking out the day time exhibits in the future and would recommend checking it out.

This place amazed me!!!! Come comfy there’s lots to walk! Enjoy every path we walked. So beautiful and peaceful place! Besides all the sculptures, this place feels so close to Natures! Deff coming again. Looking forward to the night lights.

This place is absolutely amazing. Loved it. Definitely recommend using the interactive map online to find the off the beaten path sculptures because there are plenty you can miss unless you really explore. Also recommend the restaurant, Rats .. had a delicious salad on special.

My family (college age kids) love this place. Fun and whimsical sculpture is set in beautiful gardens spread across acres and acres of paths and trails. You can spend a lot of time and do some serious walking. Plan your food strategy ahead of time, and maybe make a reservation at The Rat. Also, grab a map or look at Google first. It’s easy to miss whole sections.

Always something new to see here. There are fantastic sculptures in plain sight and some hidden amongst the trees and river. Keep an eye out for the party you weren't invited to. They have a dining area and gift shop on premises. The gardens get quite busy so ticket purchase in advance is recommended.

This is an outdoor museum with life-sized and much larger pieces of sculpture scattered around the large garden area. Can be a part of the scenes by posing with the sculptures for photos.Make sure to have comfortable walking shoes, a sun umbrella or hat and something to drink esp on the warm days. Maybe insect repellant too. We did a lot of walking but we didn't cover it that one day. Some with membership can keep returning.The trails are wheelchair-friendly. Some sculptures can be seen easily from them, but some are behind trees/bushes, inside building structures or have steps to get to them. Some signs mentioned poison ivy so be careful going through the bushes/plants. There were benches for resting; swings too, even for a wheelchair so my mom got to ride as well.A map is available via QR code but a printed or posted ones all around would be helpful as well.There are indoor exhibits, restrooms and a cafe both in the main building, and across from it in another building.Saw a parade of peacocks too.

What an incredible place! I really loved Grounds for Sculpture. The grounds were well kept and the flowers and trees were beautiful! The sculptures in The Meadow were the best in my opinion. There were so many cool looking archways and paths. When you think you're walking towards nothing you find a hidden away sculpture. I'd love to see them do so for the Halloween season!!

Since the NJ Transit was free during the wk. we decided to visit The Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton NJ. We don’t have any reservation but the person at the ticket booth was so nice to let as in since we took the public transport and we were entertained by the person at the lobby. So many interesting things to see. For anyone who haven’t seen this place, all I can say is it’s worth it. See it to believe it.

Great place to submerge yourself in nature and the arts. Wear comfortable shoes for there's a lot of walking. Venture out of the path and open doors to get the full experience. There are sculptures hidden and waiting to be found. Visit the resto bar Rats for happy hour. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing! If you enjoy outdoor art, this is a must visit. The sculptures are fantastic, so many all around the grounds, the garden is also beautiful. I visit during the fall and the colors are so pretty. Definitely will go again because there's so much to see .

Beautiful elegant garden feel like you entered the dreamworld of artist. Each and every sculpture is beautiful engraved into its own beauty. Truly the saying is beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. You have to booked this place in advance and take guide tour and there is unique stories behind each sculpture. You will definitely want to go back after one visit is not enough 😍

Recently, I was looking for something fun to do and decided to soak up the warm summer weather with a hike at the Grounds For Sculpture—a place I’d heard of but never visited. Boy, was I in for a treat!The place is massive, with so many cool sculptures and buildings to explore that you might need more than one visit to see it all. And guess what? Peacocks roam around freely, adding an extra dash of excitement to the experience.I was blown away by the variety of sculptures. My favorite? The one that looks like a giant is either climbing out of or falling into the ground—mind-blowing! The pond was a lovely spot to relax, too.Check out the pics below to see what I mean. If you're ever in the area and looking for something unique and fun, I highly recommend visiting Grounds For Sculpture. Plus, there's a fantastic restaurant nearby called Rats, which has rave reviews. Make a day of it—you won't regret it!

We went on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in the Fall. There was so much to look at and such interesting displays. I loved all the different always and avenues to get to the different pieces.My only problem was trying to go back and forth on the virtual map. I would've preferred a paper map. But other than that it was a wonderful day!

Grounds for sculpture is a great place to visit. I had a very nice time. Obviously a lot of walking so make sure you’re comfortable and are wearing proper shoes. Overall we had a fantastic day. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. A lot of interesting sculptures. not too crowded which was very nice.

I've been here 3 times and I still love it. Each time I visit, there are new sculptures. The sculptures are very impressive and displayed in a beautiful park-like setting.Don't miss the interactive exhibits inside.Also, make reservations ahead of time, or as soon as you get there, for a nice lunch at Rat's restaurant, just outside of the grounds. You can walk to it from inside the Grounds for Sculpture. The food is good and the setting is ideal, especially outside on the water with a view of Monet's bridge.

This trip was a surprise trip, and when I arrived, I have to admit I wasn't too excited, BUT the more I walked around, the more I enjoyed it. Some sculptures were... abstract and others were awesome. What I loved the most was the natural designs.. I found a cool spot that I sat in for at least 30 minutes but felt like I could've stayed there all day. It inspired me and I would love to copy this design in my future home. Enjoy.

I’ve been here at least 5+ times and have loved it every single time. This park is a true gem and such a great experience for all. For starters, it’s huge - lots to see, many pictures to be taken, lots of art/sculptures to behold. The sculptures range from life-like metal human figurines to abstract/modern art to massive sculptures. The landscaping and the plant diversity is also incredible. The perimeter of the park is situated on a small lake, with other smaller ponds, filled with koi fish and ducks. For the most part, the art installations are the same, but there’s always some new things to see, depending when you go. I have also been to nighttime exhibits here, where they had light and laser shows, really cool. There is a nice restaurant on the grounds as well, called Rats. It’s a French themed restaurant - food is good, but the style and design of the restaurant is what steals the show - you’ll see what I mean ;).Tickets do sell out, so book in advance. A few days in advance should be fine.A great place all year round! A must-see in NJ!

Fantastic sprawling green space with sculptures for everyone. There is no shortage of experiences to look at and art installations to inhabit. Whether it’s concrete monoliths or intricate detailed 3-dimensional artscapes, you will not be underwhelmed by your experience. This is worth the journey if it’s a little outside your normal travel radius. Be prepared to spend a couple hours here.

Came here on a whim based on a friend’s recommendation. It is a timed entry so it may be good to buy tickets ahead of time during more popular hours but we were able to easily purchase tickets on the spot on a Saturday afternoon.It was surprisingly entertaining strolling along the pathways and bumping into different scenes and sculptures along the way.We spent almost 2 hours to tour the entire place. There’s some nice spots for pictures and a small museum. Nice place to stop by if you’re in the area.

Awesome place to get fresh air and enjoy beautiful sculptures and art. Stroller and wheelchair friendly! Highly recommended, we had tons of fun and our toddler enjoyed it most of all. The paths are all level and easy to navigate. Very nice people working here!

Grounds for Sculpture is more than just a museum; it's an immersive experience where art and nature intertwine to create a truly magical atmosphere. This expansive 42-acre park is a treasure trove of thought-provoking sculptures, lush greenery, and tranquil water features.The park's collection offers something for everyone, from contemporary masterpieces to classic forms.The meticulously landscaped gardens provide a stunning backdrop for the art. Winding paths, serene ponds, and vibrant flora create a peaceful ambiance.Rat's Restaurant: A delightful dining option with delicious food and a lovely view of the gardens.Things to Consider:* Crowds: Weekends can be busier, so consider visiting on a weekday for a more peaceful experience.* Walking: The park is quite large, so comfortable shoes are essential.Grounds for Sculpture is a must-visit for art lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. It's a place to relax, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of both human creativity and the natural world.

Grounds for Sculpture is a must-visit! The park is absolutely stunning with a perfect mix of beautiful landscaping and incredible sculptures. Walking through the gardens feels like a magical experience, with surprises around every corner. It's a great place for a day trip, offering both relaxation and inspiration. Highly recommend for art lovers and anyone looking for a unique outdoor experience! Plus, make sure to grab a salad at the van gogh cafe overlooking the water!

When walking the grounds outside, be sure to take what appears to be the smaller, not necessarily paved, paths especially by the lake in order to see some of the interesting and lifelike sculptures. The landscaping of the grounds is very well done and an important part of the experience.I'm glad we printed the map at home before going. Paper maps are not available on-site, and I found the interactive, online map difficult to use due to the scrolling required.

Excellent! We had a great time waking around here. Went for a few hours on a weekday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded at all. The sculptures are all very interesting and the grounds are very well kept, beautiful trees, plants, water features and paths everywhere. There are peacocks that roam the grounds. The place is very peaceful, whether you want to go see the art work or just go somewhere nice to walk around and enjoy the outdoors you can do both there. There were also some indoor galleries and a few restaurants/cafes on site that we didn’t check out. The staff who we came into contact with were all very professional and informative and gave us a lot of history of the grounds. The interactive map that you can download was also very helpful while we walked around outside. Will definitely be returning.

Very tiny park geared towards kids. You get in free with a Bush Gardens pass. They have two small coasters that were pretty good. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The families seemed to be having a good time.The bathrooms didn't have paper towels or hand dryers, there were dirty diapers on the floor and they desperately needed a good cleaning.

Today started off very well even though it was light rain and kind of chilly. Upon arrival we asked the staff if the park would remain open and they said yes. The park opened at 10 and around 1:3 they advised the park was closing, there was no lightning no thundering and no additional explanation. Staff advised all guest to either request for a sunny day pass via the app or website or venture to customer service in the front of the park. I went to customer service since I had already purchased parking and a reserve space for the 3pm parade. Manager Zach refunded my parking and the reserved space for the parade but without the tax so it didn't match the price it was purchased for and he could not provide an explanation why. He just said that's how it is & when I asked to speak to another manager, Zach Advised he was the only person I can speak to. I just said OK and I knew at that point I was just gonna need to contact Corporate to provide them some clear feedback on the experience. I am from Georgia and visiting family in Virginia. I decided to take my Little to Sesame Street for the day which is a 4 1/2, so you can imagine how disappointed I am to have only been park for less than two hours and not only not receive a refund appropriately but given a sunny day pass option. I did advise to Zach that sunny day pass is not equivalent for this type of situation, since the weather did not impact the park, closing, the park chose to close on their own, without any additional explanation. But from the looks of it, it was due to lack of staff. There was no thunder or no lightning and the rain actually stopped at 12:30. anyone thinking about going to Sesame Street try the Florida location. Longhorn Location is not worth the money nor the lack of customer service, under construction rides, ill prepared staff, and so on and so on. I truly expected better.

We spent almost 500 dollars as a family of 4 to have passes to this establishment. Each time we've went multiple attractions are closed and we are told "due to not enough staff". My one child literally has asked to go home because so many attractions are closed. Once we've went and every single slide on the water park kids jungle gym was closed. Last time we went the big five person raft ride was closed. Along with the one raft slide. We were given the "unlimited Que" wristbands for last time based on our first negative experience, but it didn't matter because the time we came to utilize those it was the exact same experience (and my parents paid full price admission to come with us). I have now contacted customer service twice since our first negative experience to explain the situation we had the next time was the exact same and have been ignored. It's unacceptable to charge the prices they do and not have the park fully operational. I understand if things are closed for unforeseen circumstance such as maintance issues, etc. but to be told each time I'm at the park for staffing issues is not acceptable. Then you need to compensate because the park is small to begin with and as a guest you expect it to be fully operational. Also, I will attach pictures to show that the grounds are not well kept and it is filthy.

This is a great place for the kids to have a fun time. We visited and 7 hours went so fast it was unbelievable. So much fun!! My one problem was the staff at the food center big birds burgers. Look for 4 kids and 2 adults it was $114 for chicken nugs fries and a drink for each of us. You can not bring any food inside. The girls serving the food at the pickup counter at least 3 I interacted with were so RUDE it was unbelievable! For paying all that money you deserve a smile and a response not just a mean stare. Even rude to my kid when he asked for BBQ SAUCE. they are young prob don’t make much but just be kind and if u are miserable find another job. Other then that a coke bottle is $6! They take absolutely no CASH anymore. I would not visit again but it is a nice day trip outing for the family. The characters are very nice and patient with the kids. Water and park are extremely clean!

Wonderful place for a whole day family outing with lots of activities for everyone. The Sesame Street Parade was wonderful. My 8 years old daughter enjoyed all the rides. The water park is wonderful. The walking area surrounding the water area was very rocky, it hurts. I would request the park authority to look into this matter. Rest all I like everything about this theme park.

06/22/24-I would recommend not wasting time and money coming here. Don't bother. Sesame Place has definately fallen off. We have been coming here for years and I must say we are very disappointed. The park cost is excessive specially the parking $ 35 is ridiculous but that's not the worst part driving here to find out that only 2 water rides were open was frustrating. Not only that but in their site as you can see on the Pic it only stated 1 ride would be closed. But if you look at the water slide pics there is no water in those rides meaning it looks like they won't even open for the season.

Overall a good experience for the children. Neither of my children religiously watch Sesame Street - however, they are familiar with the characters and enjoyed the character experiences.The line for security to enter the park was long but moving. We had “Magic Queue” passes to pick up in the Welcome Center upon arrival and the line was not moving. We ended up going to pick them up in the “Guest Relations” office where the line was moving along more steadily.We visited on a day where many of the water park attractions were not opened yet re slides. I believe the children would have enjoyed it more if the slides were open. The layout of the water attractions versus rides is very “unique” and they are in several different sections versus one designated spot.We enjoyed the Dining with Elmo event as it was extremely kid friendly and the kids were freely able to jump about, dance, and move without it feeling as though they needed to be seated the entire time. The food is extremely casual but it was good.The Parade on Main Street fills up very quickly and there are very few shaded areas. The pavement gets extremely hot so bring a towel or blanket and plenty of water.

Our kids loved every minute of it! Lines were manageable and plenty of characters were out and about for pictures. Annual passes are definitely worth it for the extra fall/winter events.

The place is very nice and fun for kids. Tickets are cheaper if purchased online. Food prices are high inside the park, but you can bring your own food and leave it in the car in the parking lot, and you can exit and re-enter the park without any issues. Preferred parking costs $53 and general parking costs $32 (the difference in price also includes the distance), and the preferred parking area has tables for eating, whereas the general parking area does not.

I love Sesame Place! It was my mom go to place when I was a child. Now I take my babies and they love it too! Getting a season pass is totally worth it especially if u live near by. I love that u can bring in outside food it help with affordability. My children are 16, 3. & 1 they all enjoy a day at sesame place.

Had a great time with family. The dine with elmo and friends add on is entirely worth it. Foods decent, all you want, air conditioned, inside, plenty of time with characters, show and games for the kids was awesome. Im just saying you cant eat there for the price of the dine with elmo and friends as a family, plus you get the characters and show. Water features fun and clean, bummer about the closed kiddie slides, and we werent able to prepay parking. The kid at the gate was definitely scamming the park, (they dont take cash, but i parked for 20 dollars cash) only other complaint is general cost of any extras or souvenirs (little outrageous) but hey, we had a great day and would return.

We had an absolutely magical visit! We came from Chicago and it was completely worth the long drive and the price! My almost 2 year old could go on almost every ride, but they weren't boring, so my 8 and 5 year olds were having a great time too!

The day we visited Sesame Place it was 90° outside and all but one water ride was closed. The pools and spray grounds were open. We paid for the food passes. With the food passes you can only eat from two restaurants, one of which was closed. The park was short staffed and the bathrooms were disgusting. Overall, the kids still had a good time. For the price I would have liked to be at a park that was fully operational and clean. Especially when this is a place for children.

Amazing time at Sesame place. We went on Sunday evening and Monday all day. Wait time were much better on Monday, both for rides and food. Staff are friendly and happy. Not too big to walk around with stroller. Our kids enjoyed both the evening and afternoon parades and danced with the characters. Matthew is awesome, we found him always smiling! Highly recommended for a weekend, 2 day trip.

If you’re in the Philadelphia area, this may be a place you want to check out! Especially if you have little kids. It’s like being transported into a different world. Expect long lines everywhere! It’s especially brutal if you’re going in the summer because there aren’t too many shady spots to sit at. The rides are pretty meek because the primary audience is the seven and under crowd. The one big miss is the quality of the restaurants - The stuff you get is basically fried garbage. Nothing fresh or Flavorful… Fried chicken, fries, greasy pizza, greasy burgers… And the lines for the food, especially around the lunchtime aren’t managed efficiently. There is a mobile ordering option, but half the vegetarian items we were looking for including salads, and the impossible burger were not available via the app. And be prepared to cough up a pretty pretty for everything. If you feel nostalgic about Sesame Street then This is the place for you. But if you are looking for thrilling rides and good grub this place is far from it! Most of the thrilling rides were also shut down the day we went.

We booked the birthday party package at Sesame Place & it exceeded all of our expectations. If you’re considering it for your child do it! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you to our party host Gabriel & to all the staff members that made our party an unforgettable experience ♥️♥️

I went to Sesame Street on August 26th for my child's birthday. I bought the ticket two weeks ago before I saw the comment that there were not enough lifeguards. In a very uneasy mood, we still set out, but fortunately, when we arrived, we found that the river drifting was open and the river drifting project was equipped with at least 5 (or 6?) lifeguards. The kids had a wonderful afternoon on Sesame Street, and this was our third visit

Worse than a traveling carnival. The rides aren't much different than you would find at one, especially with the roller coasters being closed today.The only two positives are that there are familiar characters here and that some of the employees have been very friendly and helpful, despite the less-than-desirable circumstances.The place is not well-maintained. It's very sad and fails to evoke nostalgia in this one-time Sesame Street fanatic. Lots of rides are closed, including the main rides we came for. You can't mobile order the plant-based tenders at Elmo's Pizza Kitchen, which makes no sense. Fortunately the mobile order expediter allowed me to order the regular kind and she put in the order verbally to swap with plant-based tenders. But the onus shouldn't be on guests and employees to try to wrangle a barely passable experience out of a poorly executed park. This is on the management. Even the little Diggerland USA in Berlin, NJ offers a better overall experience than this, though they need a plant-based burger or tender option, too.Extra point for having a fair ride accessibility program (RAP), which kept the day from sliding further into misery, but I can't see myself ever bringing our kid here again.Say what you want about Disney's prices, but very few amusement parks or theme parks come close to their quality of product, guest service, plant-based food options, and variety of attractions. We are already planning our trip to Walt Disney World. After today, it would be good to have something more fun to look forward to (yes, I realize it also involves air travel, a hotel stay, etc., but I imagine many people at Sesame Place had to travel to be here today and I feel even worse for them; at least we only drove in from NJ).

Good day trip for young kids under 10 years old. There are plenty of rides and wait time was reasonable (under 10 min on long weekend). There are several rides which need swim suit; so plan accordingly.The shows were not so great; like story reading was very short and not that interactive.The food selection was limited but you will find pizza, burger and fries. The queue for lunch was over 20 min. You can bring your own snacks to save time.The parade at 3 pm was good, you need to plan ahead for a good spot.Overall a good place for kids

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA, is one of the largest and most popular casinos in the region. It offers a wide range of gaming options, including slots, table games, poker, and even sports betting. Visitors appreciate the lively atmosphere, diverse entertainment options, and frequent live performances. The casino also features several dining options ranging from casual to upscale. While many enjoy the overall experience, some guests note that the venue can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, but it’s a top spot for entertainment and gaming fun

Never go for a slot machines , they always try to loot you on that , some of the dealers are kind while some are so rude . Sometimes roulette's displays are not working and they didn't knew the answer or might be possible they are trying to scam you . P.S : Always know that never greed for anything after all it's a casino , go for fun that's okay but know one thing you will end up loosing always so carefully spend with limits !! . ALL THE BEST

Use to love this place. No servers, so you can't ever get a drink and slots are horrible, can't even get a bonus let alone hit. You're better off going to Rivers or Atlantic City because Parx sucks right now!

In the concert hall you can see so many interesting entertainments, as Michael Bolton or comedians.

We were there total about 2 hours it's so bad can't smoke anywhere inside the building we ordered from a place where they sold salads I had a grilled chicken Caesar salad with delicious we won some money and we lost some money but overall it was okay the parking lot I feel like it's a far walk valet parking is $25 this is maybe my second time or third in the last few years I don't get out here much but I don't live far from it

Weather you enjoy a game of chance or great dining Parks should be on your agenda. I visit there frequently and have always had a great time. I have visited casinos all over the country and I would like to say Parks was one of the best. The customer service professionals truly care about the guests. The facility is very well maintained. You will feel safe, comfortable and well treated here. Stop in and check it out. You won't be disappointed. M

Just a quick note to say thanks to Kathleen for another fantastic event in the Beer Garden. She and her staff are amazing, accommodating, and hard working. Thank you for an amazing event!

Nice place to visit. I usually have fun. They add new machines on a regular basis. Now, the ladies room always smell (no air freshener) and they need to add paper towels & tissues in addition to the hand dryers. They also need a bench near valet pick up so people with disabilities could sit while waiting for their vehicle.

The grill restaurant was pretty good, the concert at the excite Hall was ok. Lots of people recording with cell phones....which is the norm now. Bummer. Sound, and video a+

We enjoyed an amazing dinner with friends at the Parx Grill. My wife and I enjoyed the professional skills of our Server Scott. He meticulously handle our order from our special drink requests, starters, entrees and dessert. The Chilean Sea Bass was delicious and my wife's Salmon Oscar was over the top. We couldn't resist the Creme Brulee with Berries for dessert. Scott always treated us with the best of care and attention. His wine pouring skills are also a "show" in itself. Thank you Scott for making us feel so special.Our evening continued in the Theater with a Holiday Show by Martina McBride. Every seat in the theater is a great seat and the huge video screens, amazing acoustics and sound system made her show really come alive. Martina's performance was spectacular. After the show, our visit in the Casino made our evening even more special. We really enjoy the variety of slots, games and tables they offered. Lady luck was with us. Parx does such a great job taking care of their guests and we felt very special. Thank you Parx and Scott.

Had a great time. Staff were friendly and kind. Game selections were good. Odds on the games were not the best and limits were kinda big but we had fun. There was great music playing at the club. All in all good experience.

A fantastic place to eat and watch concerts. Parking is incredibly easy and not so far from the entrance. I watched the Rick Springfield/Richard Marx concert with my friends and the venue was amazing!! One of the best concerts I’ve attended! We ate at Chickie and Pete’s beforehand. A truly fun and relaxing night.

Aaaaaaaaamaaaaazing place!!!! Just walking around admiring all the detail that went into it. WOW! JUST WOW!!! Tried the breakfast burger in the food court. Delicious. Bought my dog a Patty with cheese. He loved it. Will go back. ONLY ISSUE I HAD... TRUCK PARKING is non existent in that area. I was chased off after about 3 hours. Told I couldn't park there. Here is a picture of the parking lot from my windows. (OH and the amazing burger) Truckers have A LOT of MONEY that they would spend at this location. A lot of us are veterans and would appreciate the business for allowing us to park there. Just charge $20 a truck and get our information.

I have my own issues with Parx that I don't care to share all but I will say this: I had an incident with a security guard named "Gilette". I was there early one morning and I walked into an area where they were collecting the slot cash boxes. This rude and obnoxious security guard aggressively started yelling at me to get out of the area like I was street trash.. when I told him to relax his reply was "I will bounce your ass out of here". Keep in mind I am a black card member who everybody knows and I was spoken to like this. I spoke to his supervisor and I hope they "Bounced his ass out of there". Also, if they offer you a host graciously just say no thank you. Don't get caught up in trying to reach levels that really get you very little perks. Last year I was 3,000 points away from becoming royal status and I never got a call from my host to let me know that my points are soon expiring so I lost the entire 37,000 points with no upgrade. My friends are constantly offered special dinners, shows, bonus money , trips to Atlantis but my experiences were always different. Getting something as simple as a food comp is now a challenge.

It has all of the bells and whistles... table games, slots. I only wish they had a hotel. There is a food place , I think it I think it was called Chickie and Pete's ... The food is great and they use a crab seasoning on the fries.That's just unbelievably delicious. A great burger!

Still a good place for decent food. However things have changed over the years. The machines are always filthy with half of them always broken.. you never win anything ever. The good machines are always taken, and half the people that come here play on two separate machines at the same time.

First time there. Not a gambler but a really good Japanese restaurant with reasonable prices, and a really nice small venue for seeing concerts, saw Sebastian Bach of skid row. Very good show and great food

Some nights you walk out of the casino feeling like a king. Other nights, you're scraping together change just to grab a burger. It's a real rollercoaster, that's for sure. Guess that's the thrill of it, though, right? Either way, gotta love the rush!

It was very clean and it was huge. We didn't gamble but came for a free show. No bad seats in the event center. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Food was pricey but is expected. Parking lots were well lit. Bathrooms were also very clean.

Last night with Common (Stage Manager)Haven’t done a show in PA since I was the drum tech for Jay Z on the OTR II World Tour. Hospitality and staff are top notch and so kind/easy to work with.

Not a big gambler but if I was, there is a wide variety of options suitable for anyone. The theater room is the coolest place, get to watch any games for free on a big screen as well as other sports playing on the other screens. I’ve watched a couple games in there and the atmosphere is great!

I like the casino. Tuesday is the best day to play poker. They have specials.But listen…certain bars are closed? And no good coffee places? Ugh

I just like to come play, hang out and chill in a nice atmosphere where you know you're safe. Sometimes I'm lucky and win nice and other times I just break even. They have plenty of good restaurants to eat at, show tickets are priced reasonable that makes you come back for More entertainment.

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

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

Comp drinks can’t beat that plus it pays

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I had a great time for my bday there

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

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

I won so I'm happy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Came on a double date with friends to do the Library room. It was such a great experience and so much fun that we decided to book a second room for 2hrs later! Did the Mission Space room and did even better in that one that we did the first time around! Nat was an awesome host and was super knowledgeable and helpful. He definitely helped add to the experience. Would definitely come back again and try some other rooms!

This place was so much fun. We had an incredible time and, the room, Davinci, was riddled with so many problems to solve. Our game master, Nat, was super friendly and personable. We arrived early and there were games to play while we waited. We will definitely be going back!!

Bat and Jade helped us out a lot. Great work event for team building. We did the Candy Shop puzzle and I was pleasantly surprised how intricate the puzzles were and all the elements they incorporated. I’ll be back.

Amazing! Lily was a fantastic host! We had SO much fun. The Davinci room was perfect for our party of four ( 2 adults , two 11 yr olds). Had a blast!!

Went here with my wife as a date while celebrating our Anniversary. Our experience with this Amazing Escape Room in Montgomeryville, PA was just that…Amazing! Had a lot of fun trying to escape The Candy Shop…or was I really? The clues, settings and room was enjoyable and our host “Danny” was helpful and friendly. We will definitely return here to try out the other Escape Rooms they have and to try to solve The Candy Shop room as we got stumped and ran out of time! Wish the Candies were real and edible, I wouldn’t want to leave that room! Clean and organized seating area. Lots of prop signs to take selfies and photos at the end. Reasonable prices.

Our experience was so nice! Lilly was so sweet and did such a wonderful job explaining the rules and the game in a fun, enthusiastic way. The game was fun, challenging and really interesting! It is because of her, the rest of the staff, and the experience we had there that I will be returning soon for future events!

It was a such great experience playing with my kids today! We played DaVinci and Mark helped us to get more excited every hurdles we get over. We solved all puzzles and escaped in remaining one second. This place is fun and exciting. :)

My mom wanted to do an escape room for Mother’s Day. We had no idea there was one so close to where we live in Montgomeryville. We chose the Da Vinci room and unfortunately we didn’t but we had so much fun! Lilly was a great hostess!! She was Fantastic and we will be coming again.

Danny was super sweet and accommodating and the Davinci room was very well made. I played with 2 friends (we're all escape room employees at a different place) and found it to be a bit easy, but there were definitely a few points that had us stumped. We have a lot of experience so it's safe to say newer players would find it more of a challenge. The space from the lobby to the actual room was very clean and well decorated. A fun time for us!

We had such a fun time together! Amari was amazing at giving hints, and Max walked us through the rest of the escape room AND took our photo! It was such a fun experience to spend for my friend’s birthday! (here’s a picture of my sock baby project that they let me have in the room)

Maeve was a great escape room host. We had a great time again!

Nat, Max & Jade were awesome! So much fun!Fire Dept Montgomery Township team building!

This was a blast! I went here with my friends yesterday (May 4th) to try out the "Candy Shop" room. Our host, Jade, made the experience so much more memorable and fun. She joked around while still helping us, making for a very fun time. The room itself was also really well designed and challenging, which just added to the great experience we had. I would absolutely recommend this and I would definitely like to come here again!

Had so much fun the first time we did a repeat two hours later. Had Nat for both rounds and he was great. Second room no hints. Can’t wait to try another!

Was so fun! Lily was an amazing host! Had so much fun with her before we actually left the site!

Booked both Lab rooms for a team building event at work, and we had a great time! The puzzles were fun and engaging without being TOO difficult - both teams were able to escape with a few minutes to spare. Our host was friendly and informative and did an excellent job explaining the "story" and how the game would work. I would definitely recommend this location, especially if you have a particularly large group. Having two rooms with the same story/puzzles is a real advantage, as not many other escape rooms in the area have that!

Lilly was fantastic with the kids explaining everything. Very nice and customer friendly! Would give her 10 out of 10

We LOVED The candy shop escape room! We were able to escape with 5 minutes left! We had such a great time and Jade was awesome!!!! Can’t wait to come back for more!

We arrived and waited quite a while for someone to come and guide us to the room. Got in and the person was standing off ish. In the room, we asked for a clue and waited ten minutes for one. We ended up not escaping and got a walk through. In the room there is a tool which was ESSENTIAL to solving the room. The tool did not work properly. Even if we did not run out of time we would have not escaped anyway because of how bad the tool was damaged.

The Candy Shop was so much fun! Their setup was really realistic and it felt like we were in an actual candy store. I didn’t expect the room to be so challenging (in a good way) and have as many surprises it did. We didn’t escape but we got soooo close. Mark was a great guide and we would definitely come back.

Had a great time as always, but maybe it's better since I go late on Sundays, so there are fewer people. The Halloween theme is awesome. Colors, music, and atmosphere are great. Shows are super cool to watch. Ride lines move pretty quick as well. The only issues I have are the high food and game prices. And the difficulties trying to get to handicap parking. There's no clear path or direction there for us to park closer.

Dorney Park’s Haunt event is amazing!! The rides barely have lines, the staff is awesome , and there’s just so much to see and do! I took my 5 yr old, and two 9 year olds, with more than enough to do Halloween wise and so on. Definitely highly recommend this amusement park. The only thing I disliked, was the price of the food, which is always expensive in these kinds of parks, as well as the insane amount of traffic exiting the parking lot once we were leaving. All in all, wound definitely go back in a heartbeat!!

Had a great time at Dorney Park! The atmosphere was fantastic, and there was something for everyone. Even though I'm not a fan of roller coasters, I still found plenty of other fun attractions to enjoy. The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it for a family-friendly day out. 🎢🎡

30 bucks for parking is even expensive for that Bruce Wayne guy. No live shows or entertainment. 10-15% of the rides and water slides were closed. Shoeless long waterslide lines on the burning hot concrete, schlepping an inflated tube up several flights of steps. 🔥🦶Pros: Still liked it overall. Non-water ride lines were short. Was able to walk right on in a Flash. Staff was nice, and it was an enjoyable experience for the most part.

The park has pretty slow operations on the rides and the food we had at the Burger Barn was absolutely awful. The ride collection is definitely dated but I actually preferred the thrill of the older roller coasters compared to the newer ones. The signage around the park was also very uninformative. I was looking forward to the park, but left at majorly disappointed.

We enjoyed but lines were too long, which is also typical during summer season. Prices were better online, but we paid parking and weren’t allowed to park in the regular parking as all lots were full. We did not get a refund either.

We are halloween lovers, and we came for halloween at night and trick or treating the next day.We purchased a yearly membership for next year, and it started this year.Halloween at night was awesome.Trick or treating was okay.Can't wait to see what they do for Christmas.

Went during summer vacation great place to take the kids going through the weekday cuts down on time waiting in line and the ticket prices are much cheaper online throughout the weekday than at the gate. Something for all ages to do also have a snoopy park included for toddlers, and the waterpark ( wild water kingdom)is included in the general price of admission. Food prices are really expensive but you can take a cooler w/ food and leave in your car and go out and eat and they’ll let you re-enter the park. they also serve alcohol.

The park was very clean. We rented a cabana which was great and the food attendant could not be nicer or anymore attentive. The gift shops were incredible! We found so many peanuts plush that are so hard to find and we purchased for gifts. Who ever is their purchaser does an outstanding job an asset to Dorney. We had a great day!

E=mc² Einstein would be proud with the science & math involved in some of these incredible rides! 😁Besides that, Iron Menace was incredibly menacing to say the least (YOU HAVE TO MAKE A TRIP & SEE FOR YOURSELF). All the thrill roller coasters were phenomenal! There could be a few improvements with mascot entertainers perusing around the park & higher positioned hand dryers in the restrooms... The live band rocked! Definitely adequate & shady seating as well! The lines weren't too bad of a wait 🕓. Nothing but friendly customer service & big smiles from the employees! The Season Pass is definitely the best option as far as ticket options & prices! Go to Dorney Park/Wild Water Kingdom & have the time of your life!!! 🥳 👏

This park is such a cozy little park with lots to see and do. We were only there for 4 hours and were able to do everything we wanted to do, and some things twice. Well, except for riding Demon Drop because it doesn't open until 2pm. The park is really beautiful and I really enjoyed riding all the rollercoasters. Iron Menace and Steel Force were really good.The best part about this park is it's not over crowded. You can actually get on rides and do the things you want to do without too much waiting. The longest we waited was 25 minutes, and in the theme park world that's nothing. The people in the park were all super friendly and the ride operations moved along the crowds very nicely. I don't know if I'll get a chance to come back anytime soon, but I would love to if given the opportunity.

Mid tier park. Relatively friendly staff. Some decent flat rides and some decent coasters in their line up. Now the Cons: Park season is over the weekend before Halloween where others in the area like Hershey Park and Great Adventure extends their seasons until January 1st. Food is average, at best, but could be better. Too much emphasis on "Watering Holes" than more food options. Security does their best but there's no real enforcement of the No Smoking/Vaping in the park. This is NOT the Parks fault in general but there are more guests who are unruly and uncivilized especially during the Summer (Primarily at Wild Water Kingdom)and their Haunt.

Great park. First time here. Definitely comparable to Hershey in my opinion. Kids rides, roller coasters and everything in between. Their water park is huge and we loved it. Definitely check out the crazy river it was fun. Parking is over priced but I'd say that's my only complaint. Lines were short and even were able to ride twice on some rides.

Me and my wife went on 7-22-24 rented a cabana had a great day all because of Ricardo our service advisor this guy is the customer service king. He should be in charge of training for the park. I have been in the service bizz for over 45 years you don't see to many like him. Next time we go I will be looking for Ricardo to make our trip the best like the last one. From me and my wife thank you

Me and my friends had a really good weekend and time at that fun place! The weather is nice and all the water slides are so fun and not that long to wait. Will come back again the next summer!

I've been visiting this place since I was little, and recently came back with family to experience summer nights and have a great time as a college student.Needless to say, I had an amazing day! While lines were a bit long (avoid weekends if you can), that was the only downside I faced while here. The food tasted great, the rides were enjoyable and the atmosphere is great!I came in on a free ticket as my family are season pass members so I can't vouch for ticket price, but after experiencing Hershey, I definitely think Dorney can hold a candle to it.

If you go on a rainy day the park is completely dead. Unfortunately the day I went Iron Menace their new coaster was closed which was unfortunately but I believe they were doing repairs since there was cranes on scene. Lots of good rides, great park!

Absolutely amazing place to bring your family. Every ticket gives you access to both parks The amusement park and the water park. There are some very intense rides there not for the faint of heart Steel force and Iron menace being the most notable . The food is extremely expensive there which is to be expected but all in all it's impossible to not have a good time

We went for Haunt. The ticket sales staff and management team were very cold and not personable by any means. The haunted houses were pretty cool, and their performance talent was awesome. I loved that they incorporated food trucks inside the park. It allowed for better quality food at a lower cost than the amusement park.

This is a smaller park, but offers a pretty wide variety of rides with a nice selection of coasters. I personally would do the water park one day and the theme park one day. The park is well maintained and ride operations were pretty good. All of the food we ate was very good! We did not experience any line jumping or issues in the park. This is our 2nd time here and both times we loved it.

I spoke with my wife before typing up this review and we agreed that yes while this mall is great and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit as a regular paycheck to paycheck family we felt less like patrons and more like sightseers. That is really the only real reason for the 3 star rating. It was quite a bit to high end for us. So I hope you enjoy the pictures of our mainly sightseeing trip to King of Prussia Mall and maybe they will help you make up your mind if you were planning a visit. Personally I do recommend a visit especially if you have never been because if nothing else exploring the mall with the family was very fun and a great way to spend the day.

Neat, clean and massive mall in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. They have almost all major clothing stores, designer brand store and some large anchor department/retail stores. Plenty of parking spaces outside. Good options for food in food court or the many restaurants around the mall. I enjoyed walking around and checking out stores.

Fantastic mall. One of the best in the country. Great selection of stores you can't find elsewhere super close by like Uniqlo and Doc Martens and a really great selection of restaurants actually. It's very clean and fun to walk around. It was a little cold inside so definitely bring a jacket.

The mall is really confusing to navigate. That’s really why I’m giving it 3 stars. Me & my mom were lost for 2 hours & the workers aren’t even able to instruct you. As we came to find out, where you end up in the mall depends on which staircase you take to go up or down. Very confusing & you’ll have to walk at least 30min to get to your desired “staircase.” It’s not even that it’s a tiring walk, it’s just inconvenient. The mall definitely needs maps inside. There is a lot to do inside though: massages, 2 food courts, most of any type of store you can think of, and there are sections for kids to play. They have starbucks & La Colombe in terms of cafes. Also, the pressed protein shake pictured here does not taste good at all.

King Of Prussia, being the top three biggest malls in America, has everything. One can say that you’ll get lost or exhausted trying to uncover everything this mall has to offer, cause you will. Built with such elegance, King of Prussia will have everything you have on your shopping list, from numerous clothing stores on each block to a food stand on every corner you turn, it’s hard not to get bored with all the activities there are to do in this mall.With an ample amount of parking and food courts offered on each floor, there’s a store that will capture the attention of anyone, no matter the age you are, there’s a store for you. Furthermore, if you’re more of a look-and-walk person, then this mall is for you, with its 2.9 million square feet, this mall will have you walking like you’re hiking for a good hour or two.As a person who comes here once in a full moon, it’s always a wonderful experience to be in a mall that offers an ample amount of choices of stores compared to other local malls and many activities and attractions to look at while looking around the mall. I recommend coming here and taking your time if you’re looking around this mall for the first time and exploring every area this mall has to offer.

Huge mall with top brands. Very clean, but some restrooms need more attention.Plenty of parking.

One of the largest mall in terms of space and no.of stores in US and laregest in the state. Lot of Branded stores and showrooms which attracts people from all age. Well maintained and organized parking, wash rooms and family rooms. Plenty of instruction/information board in each floor/building. Kids play area also there. Very big food court with lot of international cuisine options. Definitely worth visiting mall with family in the region.

A grand mall carrying ample stores and varieties of items. Well maintained and catchy by all means. Area is huge to roam and shop. You can buy anything from here. Also an excellent place to eat and entertainment as well! I bought Korean pearls, Barbie Doll and garments from here.

A Hidden Gem in King of Prussia Mall – Incredible Tattoo Experience!The Tattoo Parlour & Lounge, tucked away in the gigantic King of Prussia Mall, is a true gem. From the moment you step in, the vibe is warm and welcoming, with a unique vintage decor that makes you feel right at home. Scott, the owner and artist, provides exceptional service. He’s incredibly friendly, professional, and thorough.What sets this studio apart is the care Scott takes with each client. He offers no-fee consultations where he really listens to your ideas, works with you on design elements, and provides expert guidance on placement and design tweaks that ensure your tattoo turns out even better than expected. On the day of my appointment, Scott was fully prepared, had everything ready to go, and respected my time. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process, checking in regularly and even letting me pick the movies (and/or TV shows) to watch while he worked.The studio itself is filled with Scott’s artwork and vintage, recycled furniture, which gives it a cool, laid-back atmosphere. Plus, knowing that they follow environmentally conscious practices made the whole experience even better.In the end, I left with a stunning tattoo that I absolutely love, and I can’t wait to go back for my next one. If you’re looking for a great tattoo experience, I highly recommend Scott and The Tattoo Parlour & Lounge!

Like the fact that there were varieties ofLarge stores but failed to find anything of my kind and taste. The service at the steak restaurant was extremely poor as the meal was not attractive and choppy. However walking around and viewing was ok

First time here for me and my wife the mall is huge we did a total of 12,500 steps between the two of us. Nice shops definitely will return

King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania is a shopping haven! With its vast selection of stores, from high-end brands to popular retailers, there's something for everyone. The spacious layout ensures a comfortable shopping experience, and the diverse dining options cater to various tastes. The staff is friendly, and the mall's cleanliness adds to its charm. Whether you're a fashion enthusiast, tech lover, or foodie, King of Prussia Mall delivers an exceptional shopping adventure. Highly recommended for a day of retail therapy!

Nice mall overall! It's quite large and has a lot of stores from clothing stores to game stores to high end ones. Great place for all ages, and there's a lot of good food options. A big popular place is the Cheesecake Factory! We enjoy going here, and just exploring around and getting lost!

Had a great birthday dinner! Great service, great food! Very nice evening!Very busy place for obvious reasons.

We took a road trip to see this mall. It was a nice scenic route car ride with no tolls, no traffic and about 2 hours from Baltimore. The mall is HUGE. If you really wanna see it; plan to stay overnight or make another trip back. High end to mainstream; you will find it here. The mall is clean and bright. The Macy’s was really nice; and if you are from Baltimore you know we have Sub Par Macy’s; I always have to leave Baltimore to find a really good Macy’s. This mall is nicer than most.

Been to this large mall many times it’s different every time because you cannot figure out how these stores stay in business there are empty and usually they don’t always see new stores. That’s what keeps it. Interesting mall is very clean organized and lots of variety of stores and restaurants. They have certain stores which you don’t see at many malls.Lots of high-end stores and some casual stores definitely spend some time there!One of our definitely the largest retail malls in the country.

Fabulous place to get fashion ideas and pieces for all budgets! Super clean and worthwhile visiting on a weekday ;0)My husband equally loved it and had a very good experience! Wr also were super happy to still get to see the Christmas decorations, incl. Carousel 🎠 as the base to a huge tree!

Mall is enormous. Very clean. Was visiting the area from Pittsburgh and had to stop. Has a variety of stores. A ton of high end places if that’s up your alley. Had a really good Mango Gelato (I have absolutely no idea what the name of the place is) It was a bit overwhelming though, and we had to use our gps to get back to the car. Who gets lost in a mall, we most certainly do lol

Last week, I visited here. As an international student, I sometimes find malls in the US to be quite simple, but this mall is truly grand and luxurious. Additionally, there is free parking with ample capacity and a spacious area. Some sources say that this is the third-largest mall in the USA, and I believe it because I was exhausted from walking around and still didn’t see everything.

Came here for the first time with my boyfriend last month to go to the Apple Store for an in store pick up, and this Mall was honestly way more than what I expected it to be, it’s a very big mall, 3 stories high, there’s plenty of stores to shop at from designer stores to regular chain stores like bath and body works, Victoria secret and Auntie Anne’s etc…. The mall was very nice and clean there’s is plenty of food options to eat. You can literally spend hours in here just walking around. Wonderful mall as a whole, will definitely be back again!!

What’s interesting about KOP isn’t the fact that it’s the third largest mall in the country. It’s the fact that although it’s the third mall in the country, #1 and #2 devote a lot of their space to entertainment like amusement rides, water parks, ski slopes, etc. this allows KOP to dedicate their space exclusively to retail which presumably brings in a lot of revenue, and a lot of revenue means a nicer mall. It has the same amount of stores as its competitors with more space and still manages to do what it needs to.Simon has had their issues in PA. Check out the Ross Park Mall. The place is a trainwreck compared to KOP. The bathrooms are dirty. The parking lot looks like it was hit by a meteor. They also had that problem with the security cameras a few years back.KOP has PLENTY of free parking. Come here on a Saturday and it’ll be busy but they made it as big as they did for a reason. They have five Auntie Anne’s and (I think) three food courts. More obscure but high-end restaurants like Eddie V’s and Melting Pot are included as well as more budget-friendly stores like Five Below and the few-and-far-between Primark of all retailers.It’s a very impressive mall. If you haven’t checked it out, stop by when you get the chance!

King of Prussia Mall is a premier shopping destination with a vast selection of stores, from high-end boutiques to popular retail chains. The mall’s layout is modern and spacious, making for an enjoyable shopping experience. Dining options are diverse, offering everything from casual bites to fine dining. Staff at most stores are friendly and helpful. Constructive feedback: the mall can be overwhelming due to its size, so grabbing a map and planning your visit can save time. Parking can be challenging during peak hours, so arrive early if possible. Overall, King of Prussia Mall is a must-visit for any shopping enthusiast.

First time as someone from North Carolina visiting Philadelphia’s biggest mall, filled with many brands and stores to shop at! Exceptional decorative displays, interesting items to see from, amazing food choices, literally everything you can think of when it comes to your ideal mall! This is by far (in my opinion) the best experience I’ve had! I will strongly recommend visiting this place!

Did the self guided encampment tour consisting of 11 stops/ points of historical interest highlighted in the brochure you pick up at the parks entrance. They also have a trolley car($) that will take you to each stop with a guide, providing commentary and answering questions. Interesting view of Revelutionary War times and our country's hard fought strategy for a Democratic government. Lots of walking/hiking trails and a lot of the stops had park Rangers who gladly will answer your questions and give you an interesting commentary about the area. As an aside, I would like to commend our National Park system Rangers as folks who truly enjoy their jobs and pass their enthusiasm on to us visitors. Job well done!!

This is a great national historic park for a good stroll! The landscape is hilly, but there are no major steep areas that you would have to watch out for. Most of the pathways are paved, so it is a great place to visit for those who are wheelchair bound. Many of the walkways have trees on one side, so it allows for shade for part of the day. I would recommend a hat for visitors because some pathways have no coverage. The big archway is surrounded by cobblestone, so it's not as accessible as the rest of the park. Parking and entrance into the park are free.

Valley Forge is a place where history and natural beauty come together in an unforgettable way. As you walk or drive through the park, the peaceful landscapes—rolling hills, towering trees, and wide-open fields—instill a deep sense of calm. But beneath this beauty lies the poignant history of hardship, sacrifice, and resilience that the Continental Army endured during the winter of 1777-1778.One of the best ways to fully appreciate the park is by taking the audio driving tour. It allows you to cover the vast expanse of the park at your own pace while immersing yourself in its historical significance. The narration is informative and engaging, guiding you through key landmarks like Washington’s Headquarters, the reconstructed huts, and the National Memorial Arch, each offering a glimpse into the past.Valley Forge is not just a place to visit—it’s a place to reflect. Whether you're a history enthusiast or someone who enjoys nature, this park offers a serene yet somber experience that leaves a lasting impression. I highly recommend the audio tour to make the most of your visit, as it enhances both the beauty and the meaning of this historic site.

Very good place walking and jogging. Lengthy trail around 5+ miles. Bid lawn are awesome. Valley view is very nice.

I love Valley Forge national Park. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid as of late though I’ve been using it to do exercise. I walked the entire park for the first time and it’s such a fantastic site to see the history of how our country started begins here. I highly recommend this park and they have a museum that is second to none with artifactsdialogue and then gift shop, the photos I attached are photos that I had taken. I went off the family trail, which is what I call it which is a trail that is paved and very wide and it’s very good. I just happen to like to go into dirt trails, which they have many of throughout this park and it’s amazing the scenery, you just have to think about when the soldiers were here and their families that you are probably walking on the paths, that they did hundreds of years ago it’s wonderful

Went on a rainy Saturday afternoon mid October. Fully manned, nice visitor center with exhibits, gift shop and movie. Did the 10 mile circle driving tour around the encampment with stops at the train station, Washington's headquarters and the church. Everything was very well maintained, fully annotated and staffed with rangers. Very impressed with all the history and the park. Surprisingly, everything, including parking, was free. On a sunny day, there are nice bike and hiking parts to use. Well worth the visit.

This park is one of remembrance and admiration. It is a place of natural beauty and perseverance. There are trails for walking and bicycling, as well as roads for vehicles. The buildings--including Washington's Headquarters--help convey the story of a fledgling nation, and the great sacrifices required for its future success.General George Washington's leadership helped keep the nation on its course, and all Americans should partake of the park's opportunities with thankfulness. The Washington Memorial Chapel is beautiful and full of symbolism, both as a house of God and an edifice of honor to the men of the American Revolution.

Loved the history. And the scenery. Hard to believe it was built up and brought back to the beautiful area it once was. And it is all free. The amazing hiking trails, I want to go back just to try a few. We were rushed the day we went. The call in info worked well.A few suggestions-there was a tour in the areas we were going for a good part of the day. A suggestion I would have is; let the tour group see the statue, cabins, whatever but then move the talk off to the side so others may enjoy the statue or whatever. It's very hard to see or take pics with lots of people around it. And I would add a pull off spot even for just one vehicle to see the many plagues on stones along the route. There is no way to read or take a pic of them as you drive by. If someone wanted and paid for one of these tributes, people should be able to see them and pay respects. I did learn the park is waiting for an update to all the signs. Some were very faded and unreadable. And a side note since I am unsure who is responsible for the upkeep, especially the Waterman monument, it needs some serious work. I would love to go back one day and spend more time there

Long trails through US history... and very friendly for those with mobility limitations. You can take a tour or drive your car if you want ( and stop at each important point). Just go to the Visitors Center to get a map and some info ( they are extremely friendly).

This was a very interesting historical park. We took the trolley tour, which was so worth it (basically because I was tired). The park is big, and the 90-minute tour will get you around the major points. Also, watch the film in the visitor center, which gives you a very background of the revolutionary era. Thank you.

I used to live right across from this park about 15 years ago, and so I have visited here hundreds of times for walks, hikes, bike rides, and of course, sightseeing. I decided to write a review after all this time because during a recent visit, I was so impressed by the new visitors' center!!! I was always aware of the historical significance of this site in the American revolutionary war, which the displays in the visitors' center explain nicely. However, the added elements and descriptions of the soldiers' lives and struggles do so much more to enhance the understanding of the history and gave me a new appreciation for how hard these men and women worked to bring freedom and independence to America. They believed in the cause and never gave up despite their hardships, and because of them we get to live as free citizens in this beautiful country!! We will always be indebted to their service. I have visited many national parks, but this is one of my favorites because it is one of the few where the natural beauty of the land itself is combined with an equally beautiful historical significance. A must see for all! Walk the grounds, see the exhibits and the film, and remember those who gave us our freedom.

Great place to visit and learn for all ages. Discover how this site is possibly the most important in the establishment of our country. Make sure to watch the film narrated by Laura Linney. I realize how little I knew. Trolley tour was very informative with great guide (prob not for kids)…. See the “huts” and George Washington’s winter home on the grounds…much more. Beautiful scenic grounds. Hard to visualize the suffering yet strength that went on there. Be sure to watch the movie first narrated by Laura Linney. I learned a lot I never knew.

I have been going to Valley Forge since I was a child. They do a lot to preserve our American history. The park is beautiful and there are plenty of places for picnics. I went with a friend for a picnic and it was PERFECT~ So many shady spots to enjoy nature. Overall I definitely recommend this place.

Loved it! Spent a total of 2 1/2 hrs here. Went through the Visitor's Center small museum, and watched the 20 minute video. Then we used the NP app to go on a self-guided driving tour around Valley Forge. You could also walk the tour, which is 5 1/2 miles, up and down hills. I would say it was moderate to strenuous in some areas, but a lot of people were doing it. There are 3 separate bathroom stops along the route. The best stop was General Washington's barracks. The Visitor's Center also has a small gift shop and snack area. The best part is Valley Forge NP is FREE!

What a beautiful place to visit! This truly is a great park! There are people walking their dogs, jogging, pushing strollers, and taking in the rich history of the property. It's unbelievable how big the place is and how much is preserved.

Lovely grounds and the trails aren't bad but I really wasn't expecting how much of it is just flat and completely open fields. I was expecting more of a "park" style area/acreage, like the woods section. Finding that was also a bit hard, as there wasn't a ton of signage. But still had a nice time hiking for a little over an hour.

It’s a very nicely planned national park. It’s amazing to learn about American history and have a very good walk at the same time. 35 miles is its entirety, but I recommend not walking the whole thing. Running is welcome to the park trail, though I enjoy walking better. To get the whole experience, I recommend you walk during the sunset, as the view from the trail is gorgeous. If you have a hotel in the Schuylkill area, it’s a must to go to the park.

I loved coming here for a walk. Me and my wife walked 5 miles and could’ve gone even farther if we wanted. I want to come back in the summer when everything is green again and full of life. The display stations are spread around at different spots on the walk and you can actually learn a good bit if you’re interested too!

Amazing, well maintained and washrooms were clean. Paths are great and spacious area. Parking is space out and the maps are helpful. Great to see how this space is focused on honour and respect for those who sacrificed

Great place to visit to learn about Washington's time at Valley Forge. It really gets into the struggles they endured while the Continental Army and their followers stayed here. The Visitor Center exhibits were wonderful and my family.loved playing with the log cabin exhibit. You can participate in the Jr. Ranger Program by asking for a booklet at the Visitor Center. Complete a couple of pages as you go through the park and submit back to the Ranger at the Visitor Center for a badge. Dont forget to get your Park stamp if you collect them.Watch the movie about Valley Forge before going out. It starts in the hour. There is a small gift shop to buy souvenirs.

Fascinating historical area where George Washington spent the winter of 1777-78 with 12,000 of his troops, 2,000 of whom died of disease, exposure, malnutrition. Lots of interesting buildings, some original and some reconstructed. Lots of interesting artifacts and descriptive posters. Beautiful place for a hike on a sunny October day with the leaves changing color. Helpful, friendly, informative staff.

A picturesque historic park offering excellent walking and cycling paths. While not exactly an open-air museum due to limited exhibits, the Visitor Center is worth exploring beforehand for insightful background information on the area and its historical significance.

It was a sunny day without a single cloud in the sky. I did a little hike in Valley Forge Park. A little chilly at the beginning, then it became so warm and comfy. The winter scenery was tranquil with birds chirping now and then. Walking on the trail and bathing in the sunlight, it was so beautiful. I met a woman with three dogs. One dog was so eager to give all his love to me. 😊Life was good and I need nothing more at that moment. So lucky to have this park close by.

I visited Valley Forge after a weekend in Phoenixville and had a great time.The visitor center and movie are a must-do part of the attraction to understand the historical significance.The grounds are well maintained and provide excellent walking, jogging or biking opportunities. The paths form a two mile loop. And if you are tired, hung over, or otherwise mobility challenged- the entire park is driveable, you never need to leave your car! There is a free phone number that provides information about each area.You can drive through the whole park in under 30 minutes. To see the movie, visitor center, and experience some of the important sites, I would recommend at least two hours. Add more time if you want to walk the trails.The park is 100% free.I would also recommend reading about Valley Forge before going. This is where Washington's army spent the winter- it's a tale of hardship and human perseverance. There were no battles fought here.

Valley Forge is a must for history lovers. Washington's Headquarters, aka the Isaac Potts House, is the highlight. Depending on the number of visitors, touring the house can take as little as 7 or 8 minutes. I went went during mid-afternoon on a weekday and crowds were non-existent. Therefore, I was able to spend more time in the house.If you are pressed for time but enjoy history, Valley Forge is ideal. You can spend as little as 30 minutes viewing the encampment or up to several hours, depending on your schedule. The rental bikes mean you can inspect the grounds in detail If you so choose. The exhibits contained in the visitors center are well worth your time, as well.

Ok- so we learn thos is where Washington and the revolutionary Army wintered after getting beaten at Brandywine and another battle.But- we never learned ( in my Oublic school) what happened here- or the immense SIZE of the site compared to other sites.There are Well Displayed Redoubts, Log houses like those used in 1777, and ALOT of space. If you wak the whole thing, bring Good Shoes! I did this in Dirtbike Boots, and it SUCKED.Make sure snd see the Chapel site near the River.

Valley Forge National Historical Park offers a rich and immersive experience, even if you only have a little over an hour in the evening after it opens. A self-drive tour allows you to explore the park at your own pace, making it convenient to hit key historical spots.The park is beautifully maintained and offers informative signage that provides insights into the Continental Army's winter encampment during the Revolutionary War. Highlights include the National Memorial Arch, the reconstructed soldier huts, and the General Wayne statue, each offering a glimpse into the past.The tranquility of the evening adds to the park's atmosphere, making it a peaceful and reflective experience. Despite the limited time, you can still appreciate the historical significance and natural beauty of the area. Valley Forge is well-suited for a brief yet meaningful visit, and a self-drive tour is an ideal way to cover its main attractions efficiently.

Okay, first of all, let me start off by explaining that my fiancé and I are our very outdoor enthusiast. We hunt and fish probably year round and yes, I know a lot of you are going to say you can't hunt year round, but that's not true. We're from South Carolina, our deer season opens. August the 15th and doesn't go out until January. The first we keep active game cameras year round in South Carolina, we're allowed to bait year round show when we're not in the woods, we're in the water fishing and this store is almost an outdoorsman's heaven. Very good staff, friendly, eager to help. Hey, we ended up with 2 new credit cards even ha ha. But a very clean, enjoyable atmosphere and the Taxidermist work was unbelievable We could have stayed there for hours and the bronze statue out front was awesome, and I would also like to give a Word of encouragement out to the young woman who helped us Julie. We had an excellent time and would look forward to being back again.God bless and have a blessed egg We had an excellent time and would look forward to being back again. God bless and have a blessed day.

This is by far the best outdoorman/ woman store. It has everything from apparel, ammo, activities for kids, informational displays, ponds to entertain kids and adults. So much information, and inventory its absolutely amazing! Love this place! And this location!

This place is like Mecca for any and all things outdoors by land or water (and perhaps even air since there is a bush plane hung up in the ceiling). Massive inventory for hunting, fishing, camping, etc. If you are into arrows, hooks or bullets, then this is your one-stop shop. Amazing wildlife displays, too, making it a worthwhile natural history museum in its own right. Helpful staff, clean bathrooms and filtered water station, too.

An absolutely massive hunting/fishing/sports store that has an incredible inventory. Be amazed by all the preserved animals on display. The sheer volume of this place is worth the visit. Be sure to go up to the 2nd floor for the view… and then head towards the back of the store to the old school shoutout arcade style game… that’s sure to please all the “kids”! Plenty of friendly staff available to answer all your questions and direct you where you need to go to find what you’re looking for!

Staff is great very helpful, the store is beautiful it's literally breathe taking when you first walk in, so much to look at. I wish there was one closer to me but it's worth the drive. Prices are good they do price match with online stores and the selection is vast. Tons of parking, and the pick up for large items is quick. Don't forget that beautiful scenery.

What can I say.....it's Cabelas! I stopped in because it was along my road trip route done to Virginia and because the buddy I was with had never been (shocking I know). Never disappoints! Even if you don't buy anything, it's just a trip being there. I did buy a couple of 5.11 pants for work and we stayed about an hour and a half in the place just looking around.

If you are interested in looking at some stuffed animals in real life, you found the right place! Cool fish aquarium as well.Can be highly educational for the children. I know I came here as a child years ago and was blown away by the animals. Now, as an adult, I cannot help but wonder how any of these were acquired. I can only hope by ethical methods.They’ve got anything you want for outdoor purposes, be it kayaks, fishing rods, tents. We quite enjoy the store. Nice parking lot too, quite spacious.

Great place to look through, but the guy at Gun Counter acted like he couldn't be bothered with my questions. Maybe a small place is better to get info on them. However, also in that huge store, not 1 person offered help, but they made sure when walking in if i wanted a charge card. It was fun to look around, but no friendly vibes there except for a cashier was nice. Also, i feel expensive.

A beautifull place ,looks like a forest museum and antique Armory,also a breathtaking atmosphere and mountains view.Cabelas must charge at least $2dollars entrance,to keep the store going,and share $1dollar for the store ownership,,,$ 0.50cents for wild life contribution,and $0.50cents for store maintenance.thats my good concern.thanks Lonys de Haina

Awesome place to visit. We spent a few hours here, and still didn't see everything. It's a must go to place for any outdoors person, even if your outdoors is just to your grill in your backyard.

THINGS THAT ARE FASTER THAN PURCHASING A FIREARM AT CABELAS IN HAMBURG, PA:- Buying a house by signing ~50 mortgage documents- Renewing my drivers license at the DMV at 2PM on a Friday with a full waiting room and uninspired (read:miserable) gov employees- “Running” the Philadelphia half-marathon with a pulled hammy- Taking my wife shopping at TargetI ordered and paid online. Background check took less than 30 minutes (and I’m from Jersey).So I spent over 3 hours waiting to “check out” and pay 5 bucks for the background check fee. There were only 3 people in front of me. (not counting the off-duty employee that jumped the line to buy his own firearm and couldn’t choose between getting 10% off or 0% financing. It’s great that the only employee checking people out spent 20 minutes explaining to an employee how the credit card benefits work. Education is important.Had I known I’d be standing in line for 3+ hours like an idiot I would have jumped out of line to buy the boots and jacket I needed! I was afraid if I left I’d have to camp out with the life size wildlife diorama and checkout in the morning!In the end I grumpily checked out and RAN out of Cabela’s bootless and cold. By the time I arrived home the Eagles game was long over and my family thought I left them.Make it make sense, people!

Sporting goods, clothing, household items... you can get it all here. There's too much to list. And, this is THE place for Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!!! Prepare yourself for a day long shopping trip. You will have to see everything.

Hiking Outfitter, Light water craft store, Camping Store, Archery shop, Hunting And Fishing Expo, Gun Store, Outdoor Education Center, Natural History Museum, General Store, and Restaurant - even a little bit of a game store. This is unlike anything else - It’s Cabela’s. That’s really the only way to explain it. You definitely have to see this yourself. Highly recommend!

A great outdoors store with a wide variety of merchandise at reasonable prices. There are always clothing and shoes on clearance. They have an impressive display of record breaking taxidermied animals. Good selection of gifts, camping gear and hunting and fishing equipment. Good ammo selection.

I don’t really have a need for any of the products in this store, but I still rarely leave empty handed. Thoroughly enjoy being able to take my little one here to kill some time. You basically get a free aquarium and zoo experience (even though most of the non-aquatic animals don’t move around very much). Spend some time and enjoy the outdoors in the comfort of an air conditioned building - leave with some beef jerky, candied nuts or a souvenir hat. Good times, for sure.

Come here often with special needs adults I work with and everyone is always so friendly and helpful and never bat an eye at some of the things that can happen when working with the special needs community. We always take some group photos when there and employees have offered to take the pictures for us.The employees are definitely what make that place so awesome! So friendly!

Needed a new battery for my Lance truck camper, picked up a AGM. The people at the front desk was awesome, customer service was awesome!! Amazing store! Could of spent all day in there, we stayed over night in our Lance in there RV parking lot. Felt safe to! I spent to much money the 3 hours I was in there lol!

A little too much with the greeters. I came in and there were like 4 people all greeting me and asking me if I was a club member and such ALL at once as soon as I walked in. I actually couldnt even figure out who was asking what because they all spoke at once. I felt rude but I ended up just saying “no” because I couldn’t figure out who I was addressing or who said what. Then I was said “ sorry but that was too many people at once”To which some of them at that point wouldn’t even make eye contact anymore and started acting awkward. I’m assuming they are being pressured by management to be more aggressive at the door and that is why they got awkward like that. ( I was in retail and sales my self I know how it can be). And if that’s the case I’d recommend management reconsider that. Being bombarded by multiple associates as soon as I step foot in a store like that was almost enough for me to turn around and leave. I’m sure there are other points in the transaction you can bring up your store card. Like when I just checked out with $200 worth of stuff. That would have been a more appropriate time to push a store card. ( I still wouldn’t have taken it but still)

A great big location stocked with almost anything with sporting goods ! 🔫⛺️⚾️🏀🏈🏐🎾🎣🛥🚴‍♂️🧢 to bad there restaurant on the second floor is closed.A great place to shop and see there wild life taxidermy exhibit.

We took our son for the first time and I’m just sorry it took this long to visit. What an incredible store for the outdoors person to even to just walk through. From the amazing aquarium to the mountain of taxidermy and the other spaces you can peruse through. My husband enjoyed the shooting gallery and was overwhelmed by the amount of hunting and fishing gear. From beginners to the extremely experienced you can find anything you need. And if you don’t fish or hunt there is a vast camping area, bird feeders, dog treats and delicious fudge!

An amazing store the size is incredible you can spend the whole day there. The display of indigenous fish is awesome beautiful aquariums an examples of local wildlife pretty awesome. They have a little bit of everything for everybody. They also have some pretty amazing deals on certain items. However if you're in the firearms they have just about everything you can think of the only problem is their prices are outrageous. Still an awesome store to go to.

Prices can be a little steep. But the selection of products is amazing. It is very easy to spend a couple hours in this store. The animal and fish displays are awesome. I wish there were more of these stores.

Great shopping experience. Products for camping, fishing, boating, shooting, outdoor clothing, and so much more.

Second time here, came for the Mega fireworks with my daughter. Ticket prices are still very reasonable. And the food is priced pretty good as well. It was SpongeBob theme night which was a bonus as well. The fireworks were great! I'll definitely be back for more Megaworks fireworks and theme nights.

Great ballpark to take the family. Parking is free and tickets are super cheap, although I typically end up with free general admission tickets. They have lots to keep kids entertained during the game and throughout their concourse. You can take a stroller into the park and if you don’t need it the whole time you can leave it at guest services and pick it up at the end of the game.

Great AA baseball stadium. Plenty of nearby parking. Fun atmosphere just inside the gates before going into the seats. Food and drink areas, games for children and clean bathrooms. The staff was friendly and helpful.The ballpark did not a standard "cookie cutter" look. Unique seating areas and beyond the outfield fence had the look of being in an industrial area but in a good way. Fun evening and will certainly be back for more

I attended my first game here with my husband and sons. They've all been there for games before, but I was happy to join this time. The stadium is very nice and the food and beverage options were great. My youngest son enjoyed the kids play area with a bounce house and inflatable slide. The fireworks show at the end of the night, was the perfect ending!

I don't know why I haven't gone to a Fightin' Phils baseball game since I was a kid, but I've missed out! The baseball game was fun, there was plenty of food, and the drinks never stopped coming. We watched the fireworks after the game and had a blast. Time to create a new pastime.

Built in 1950, this is a great park to watch a game! It feels like a real ballpark, well maintained, lots of concessions with an old time feel. Walking by the first base line concessions look and feels like a midway boardwalk.Prices were reasonable. Jumbo hotdogs were tasty! Vendors walk around the stadium selling pretzels, crackerjacks, etc. lots for kids to do - there’s even a pool in the outfield.Walk around inside and you can read the history of the park on the walls. The ballpark is accessible, and everyone is very friendly and accommodating of any special needs.There are parking lots around the ballpark.

Classic Old School Minor League stadium. Fun, full of Phillies history.

What an awesome, wholesome evening we spent at First Energy Stadium watching the Reading Phillies! There were loads of families in attendance. All you had to do was observe the shining eyes of the little kids as they greeted mascots and Star Wars stormtroopers to know that core memories were being made! We chose to stop and eat a hoagie beforehand, as it's important to know that no outside food or beverages are allowed in the stadium. Between every inning there was a game or a contest to occupy. From boy scouts collecting trash, to a man selling 50/50 chances, to food vendors calling to the crowd, there was always something going on.To top it off, they had a fabulous fireworks show to celebrate the 4th of July! Great fun, and two tickets were only $24. Go, and bring the kids, you won't regret it!

Great venue for a baseball game. Good food choices decent prices. Free parking close by. Every seat is a good view.

A medium sized stadium with good amount seating capacity. We went there did minor Philly games. Lot of food stands and stalls , can able to accommodate the whole crowd with less amount in queue. Good food and prices are nominal for the stadium. Enough parking facility available around the stadium.

The Reading Fightin Phils fight opponents like I fight crime - fiercely. Visited “Baseballtown” USA to see the Fightins (Phillies AA team) play the Portland Flying Seadogs (Red Sox AA team). It was a special night - Batman Night! The entire team wore Batman Jerseys. The crazy hotdog vendor sang take me out to the ballgame in Batman’s voice. Their team store even personalized a BatmanJawn Fightins Jersey just for me. In the team store, I got my picture atop Rodrigo, the ostrich that the “crazy hotdog vendor” rides. One of the many highlights of the night.The stadium is beautiful. Weekend games are especially crowded. If you buy general admission tickets for an evening game, be sure to get there early and sit on the 3rd base side. That will keep the sun from burning your retinas like SupermanJawn.If you don't want to risk your car being hit by a fowl ball, park closer to the main road. The main entrance to the park will spit you out along the first base side. You can travel underneath the Grand strand to get as far as left field. A kiddie swimming pool in right field, brand new event center in center field, and all you can eat buffet in left field - what more could you ask for?Don't miss their MEGAblast fireworks shows, always a hit.Reading PA has had a baseball team since 1883 (before Batman existed) The stadium opened in 1951, and it has been the Phillies affiliate since 1967. Here's to many more years of Fightins baseball in Baseballtown, USA! Go Phils!

We always have a great time at the games, especially when we sit in the buffet area. Staff is always friendly. Shout out to Anthony who always makes it a great time for the kids with first pitch and special touches.

Had so much fun during the double header tonight! Employees are so friendly and helped keep people from standing at the railing! Haven't been there since the early 2000s probably even late 90s. I can't wait to go to another game!

After being at 25+ Minor League ballpark this is my favorite. Great fans, tons of history, super atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Our first experience was second to none. We had seats behind home plate and loved the spacious seating in an old school ballpark. We also loved to see the entire Phillies team walk out right field at the end of the game.

The game was great, they bring a lot of energy and great atmosphere. The fireworks after we're amazing and the only thing that would have made it better would have been if they turned off the bright advertisement sign that was in your face while watching them.

My daughter, my father-in-law and I all had a great time last night at the Reading Keystones game. A wonderful AA park with lots of activities for the kids and perfect views of the game. A good family night out for us would recommend to anyone who loves baseball or just wants to spend a good family night out.

It was my first time. Embarrassing, because I've lived in Reading on and off throughout my life. I was shocked at the severely overpriced game shirts. 89.00 for an average quality stripped button down. I've found fave football jerseys, authentic NHL for about half that, and the quality is about average. It was very disappointing. Food was priced as expected for a sports arena. Nice place, just severely overpriced with the exception of a game ticket.

Both times I've been to the park had a great time. I recommend getting there early parking fills fast. Clears out slow hang around and enjoy the oldest aa park .

When I say this place is first class, I mean FIRST CLASS! We've been wanting to do zip lining for years and we decided that this summer was the time. From start to finish, the employees were polite, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and the biggest for me, SAFE! I was very apprehensive for my child's safety. After the first line, I completely relaxed. Alex and Josh ROCKED! They explained everything and were very thorough. We will definitely be back and can't wait for the Christmas lights!

We’ve been here twice with our grandsons and have been so impressed with all the staff. They went out of their way to be helpful and courteous. I accidentally signed up for a zip line adventure that we couldn’t participate in and they refunded the extra I had paid and got us into the appropriate program. Our boys loved the obstacles and the zip lines. There are places to explore and a great playground. After we exhausted the events we paid for the boys enjoyed basketball, tether ball and the grounds.I highly recommend Refreshing Mountain!

We absolutely love visiting Refreshing Mountain. We come at least twice a year for the last 4+ years. My son loves the zip lines and elevated obstacle courses. The staff are always very friendly and work so well with the kids.

This place is awesome! The zip lines, ropes course, climbing wall and other activities were perfect for my 11 and 6 year old boys. My wife and I also enjoyed the activities and we appreciated the knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommend getting some time at the pool during your visit. The diving board was spectacular and my kids had a blast on the slide. Looking forward to a second visit and doing more zip lines.

Zip lining was a great start to our bachelorette party! We love adventure and this was perfect for our crazy bridal party! Thank you for a fantastic, fun time!

This is a great place! We’ve gone zip lining here on 3 different occasions. The people are super nice & friendly. It would be almost impossible to go here and not have a great time.

Fantastic fun! Our family of four, with 5 & 7yo, had a blast doing the Ascent Package. The two zip lines in that package were just enough along with the 4 obstacle courses in climbing adventure. The climbing wall was also great fun with different levels of challenge. We enjoyed racing each other on the pedal bikes and giving our try with the sling shots (takes more muscle than I thought!). The goats at the farm were so happy to have us pet them, and the reptiles were exciting to see.The staff were all so pleasant and encouraging. The cafe had nice food options at a good price (not overpriced like touristy places). Highly recommend this spot!!

It was an awesome experience for my 5 year old and myself. The staff was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be going back and taking friends.

The scenery is beautiful and the staff was friendly and made us feel safe during zip lining (so much fun) and on the obstacle course. Ethan and Starla were wonderful guides. We will absolutely be going back and recommending our friends and family to visit, as well.

What a fantastic evening we had at Refreshing Mountain! Went with friends (6 of us) and did one of the Escape Rooms. Theses rooms are well done and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this, especially if you’ve never done one before. We timed it out well as it was dark when we “escaped” and then we walked the grounds through the wonderful light displays that have been so well placed. What a beautiful setting!

My family and I came for the first time and we will definitely be back! Such a family friendly environment and lots of fun to do. Every employee was so welcoming, helpful, caring, and encouraging. My seven year old was scared to zip line and backed out last minute when we all went, then at the very end of the day he told us he was ready, so we asked if it was possible for us to go again, and without even thinking about it, the employees went out of their way to set up the zip line, just so he could face his fear! We will definitely be returning and will talk very highly about this place to those around us!

My son and I did this for an afternoon excursion and had a blast. If you are a bit weird about it being a Christian place don't be, it had nothing to do with it besides the fact the staff was super nice. The two staff members that guided us were awesome and made it so much fun. We got to throw pumpkins at targets and won a free shirt and if you are brave enough can try zip lining upside-down. The course is great and the equipment is nice. I recommend this for anyone looking for fun and some adventure.

An awesome experience! First time zip lining! Grandson had a blast!! Staff friendly and helpful throughout the adventure. Thanks for a good time!!

Appreciate the swimwear rules! A really family friendly pool. Great for our kids ages 8-1.Reasonably priced at $5 per person for 2 hours. Again, great for a family with young kids like ours

Took my kids here for Homeschool Day. The location was clean and very well kept, the staff was friendly, and we all had a great time! Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our time at this family friendly pool. It was clean and well organized. They have nice chairs to use at pool side. The area to eat was well kept. The pool was kept clean. My 4 year really enjoyed the kiddy pool side with the sprinklers. We didn’t experience any type of rowdy horseplay in the pool to which my son was able to practice on learning to float and my 15 year old did learn to float. As my son played at the playground, I sat on the wooden swings and enjoyed the serenity of this place. May the good Lord continue to bless this place and the employees.

Great place!! We did the Adventure 1 ropes course & ziplining Christmas light special and it was so exciting! It was beautiful there in the dark and with all the Christmas lights, and the ropes course was thrilling. A bit scary at times but everything is very do-able and for all ages. And then they have a neat observation deck and a Christmas lights pathway. Great place for everyone and lots of fun!

We had a spectacular time celebrating my daughter’s birthday on the zip line and rope courses. Our guides Haley and Anika were reassuring, motivating, and gave us confidence that we were secured and safe as we battled our fears and conquered the course! It was as exhilarating and lots of fun!

We love Refreshing Mountain! Great place for a family adventure! The obstacle course, rock wall and zip lines were a blast for our whole family (age 5 to adult). And we definitely recommend staying in the cabins. Great place, great staff, great atmosphere!

First time there with my work crew! We had a blast. So much fun. The instructors were so nice and helpful. We will be back 😀

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This was a truly amazing experience! Melinda was our private tour guide. She was a ray of sunlight with a wealth of knowledge about the sanctuary and all the wolves! There are over 50 wolves and wolf dogs with their own unique personalities. The sanctuary is well kept and the wolves are all well taken care of and happy. All the good work being done is remarkable and we thank each and everyone for all they are doing. We highly recommend supporting the sanctuary and visiting these amazing animals!

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.

Planning a visit to the wolf sanctuary with my son has been on my bucket list for years! I was finally able to make the trip to the full moon fundraiser-beaver moon. It was a perfect night with clear sky’s and the brightest moon. I was excited and expecting to see plenty of wolves maybe even some howling at the moon followed by a nice time sitting by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate and live music. I spent $148 dollars (4 tickets) to walk down a 15 min path and see maybe about 6 wolves in which 3 were sleeping. The most active wolf was a wolf dog who was previously domesticated. Most areas were restricted and it was too dark to really see anything. I was hoping to at least sit by the fire since it was very cold. Nope! I understand it is weather permitting and I am assuming with all the dry leaves it could be a fire hazard but it would have been nice if that was announced before arriving. We heard there was coffee (to purchase) at the end of the tour being served by a food truck. We waited on line for 20 min and it barely moved. We ended up leaving disappointed. The duration of this tour is listed as 2.5 Hours and the we spent 1 hr in which most of the time was waiting in line to get in (it was pretty crowded) and for coffee we didn’t even get. It was not worth it at all. I am hoping the money I spent on the tickets goes towards the wolves. Anyways maybe going in the daytime where you can actually see the wolves would be a better experience.

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.

Our son LOVES wolves, so this was a must-do on our list! Booking can be difficult as this place is very popular and sells out quickly. January, the calendar is posted. The first of every month, at 10am, more tours may be added. The guides are all volunteers, so it is based on their availability. I highly recommend a non-summer visit, as that is the best viewing seasons due to heat for the wolves. Our weather today was amazing!There are a total of 54. We chose the private tour, as we wanted the most time and exposure that you will not get with the public tour. Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and full of information! There are some distant enclosures that you cannot see well but most of the enclosures you will walk past in the private tour. Our guide said the public tours are shorter and you don't see as much. We also had our tour just after feeding, which meant most of the wolves were right at the fence line. Our highlight was hearing the wolves howl not once, not twice, but THREE times!! It was the most breathtaking sound!!There are a few enclosures that they ask that you do not stop in front of. Please listen to them. They're volunteers and are there to show you a part of nature you will most likely not see anywhere else. There are reason they have rules. Be respectful.You need to wear good walking shoes as the ground is rocky and there is an incline at several points in the tour. Do not wear flip-flops, sandals, heels, etc., unless you are truly comfortable wearing them in a wooded and rocky area. The tour ends at a small, adorable gift shop. There are portable toilets only. They allow pictures, but not professional. No pets (completely understandable). Please read the do/don't on the website.Overall, the private tour was very informative. The sanctuary does a fantastic job taking care of the wolves, and you can tell they are passionate about what they do!Keep in mind, the Wolf Sanctuary is non-profit and is not eligible for most federal grants. They run on donations, fundraisers, and the tours. While they do make improvements, it's slow. If you've ever been a part of a non-profit, you completely understand. This is a wonderful, family-owned Sanctuary, and they do a tremendous job. Almost every guide and person there is volunteer. Ultimately, they exceeded our expectations. Keep in mind, we did a private tour, not public, so you will have a different experience with a different tour. But, for us, you don't want to pass up this experience. In fact, we plan on making this an annual visit, or every other year. We cannot wait to come back!!!

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 😊

Very informative. The staff are very good at explaining all about the wolves and answering questions. The weather was very hot and humid, so less than ideal. A guide advised that late fall or winter is the best time to see many active wolves. Visitors walk over steep rough ground so be sure to wear good supportive shoes. Also I would not recommend to anyone not physically fit. They only have portable toilets for visitors. Nice gift shop is very small. Water is available along the tour route. The wolves are neutered/spayed,. You will not see any cubs. Highlight of my visit was right at the beginning when all the wolves howled together for several minutes. Lovely sound. Great experience.

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.

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.

The good: The enclosures are very clean and well thought out. The wolves and humans are kept safe. Staff were passionate about the Sanctuary and animals. They talked about the history of the property, general wolf facts, and stories about the wolves living there. Despite the heat, we saw wolves in each enclosure and even got a big group howl when an ambulance drove by the property. It was a fun outing to do once.Room for improvement:1.All of the double fencing along the walking path is shiny galvanized metal so it reflects the sun and reduces viewing into the enclosure and makes getting decent photos difficult. Painting the fencing along the tour path black would eliminate this issue.2. It would have cool to have skulls on display in the shop comparing a domestic dog, a wolf dog, and wolf since the tour talks a lot about Jaws and bite pressure... or a pelt that visitors could touch since understandably petting the wolves was not allowed and there was a lot of talk about their fur.

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!

If you are gonna spend the money on a tour skip the Full Moon Tour completely and buy a private tour. The full moon tour was extremely disappointing. Was told there was 50 wolves total at the sanctuary and we were lucky if we saw 5. The wolves we did see were either scared of humans and ran or tired and sleeping. It was disappointing, to during the day and I'm sure you'll see more!

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

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.

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).

This place is heaven! Denny was our excellent tour guide and was very informative about the sanctuary and all the wolves and wolf dogs. I have volunteered at other sanctuaries in the past and was very impressed with the care and affection heaped on these animals. Hopefully a future volunteer.

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.

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!

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.

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!

I visited the sanctuary this week for my birthday. It has been on my "want-to-do" list for years and overall the visit was very nice and quite educational. The weather was perfect; saw several wolves. They care for a total of 53, but the public tour doesn't go for a very far walk and it only goes past a few of the enclosures. The guide told our group that the private tour is longer (and as a result, more expensive). I did get some very nice pictures of the ones I did see. Heard a few of them bark and some distant howling which was really cool.On my tour there were about 30 people. There was a guide in front and a guide at the rear making sure the group stayed together. At one point we were walking past an enclosure and the guide in front told us that we would be walking slowly past and not stopping because the wolves in that enclosure got stressed with bigger groups stopping. Several people, however, decided to stop at fence and try to take better pictures...at which point the guide in the back very sternly said, "as we said, we are NOT stopping here. Keep moving"!! A little abrupt, but I guess when you deal with large #'s of the public all day, every day, it gets tiring.One person in our group tried to monopolize the guides time and pepper her with questions as well as stories about other sanctuaries he visited, which didn't allow time for many others to ask questions. "There's one in every group, as they say".You need to wear good walking shoes as the ground is rocky and there is an incline at several points in the tour. The tour ends at a very small and pricey gift shop, and then you have to make the walk back up to the parking area where you met your guide to begin tour. There were people in my group who wore sandals, and one wore heels..and they complained about the walking conditions. Don't go in the woods in heels 😆The sanctuary does a fantastic job taking care of their wolves and you can tell they are passionate about what they do!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Hershey Museum provided an engaging and informative experience. I highly recommend a return visit, as the exhibits offer a comprehensive history of chocolate, accompanied by original artifacts and captivating displays. While the museum excels in storytelling and education, it could benefit from incorporating more chocolate tasting opportunities to complement the informative aspects.

Great museum to learn everything there is to know about Milton Hershey and how the Hershey company came to be. The pricing was $15 for the museum and $15 for the Chocolate Lab. The Lab was cool, you learn about the Chocolate making process. You can also "make" a chocolate bar. IThey give you melted chocolate and you pour in a mold, decorate and they put it in the fridge to harden. We would definitely recommend the museum and maybe the Lab for kids.

My boyfriend and I stopped here after finding out the Green Day concert was postponed. It's a smaller museum, but very informative. They give you a little token to scan at different displays that gives you information on the exhibit. There are some movies that they have playing as well. They also have chocolate tasting, which we were able to do and making your own chocolate bar, which we were not able to do. They also have some interactive touch screen games and a make your own wraper game.

I love museums and those that tell a story. So much to do here. Chocolate tastings from around the world, chocolate lab - essentially hands on classes, and a whole lot of information. The Hershey’s did wonders for the area and it was pleasant being able to step back into their world and see how the famous chocolate did just that - become famous. We arrived at 2pm and were able to do chocolate tasting right away. Unfortunately, the chocolate lab classes weee already booked up. I would certainly do this again if I were back in the area.Plenty of parking near the museum.

I thought this place was super cool, Milton Hershey really created an entire community and it stemmed from confections. Kinda funny honestly. The history is rich, and there are plenty of interactive opportunities for the kids as well, it's a great museum, and definitely worth stopping by.

Just a biker roaming around and had to kill some time. Spent maybe an hour and half and learned not only about Hershey, but local PA as well. As a solo visitor, may have enjoyed the visit more on a weekday.

Good exhibits for all things Hershey. You can also enjoy flight of chocolate drinks and chocolate lab.

We visited this museum before leaving Hershey. We had such a good day out. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The interactive chip was a hit, my kids loved that component. I would love to visit again and listen more intently to all the stories. There was so much to do there, we could've easily spent another hour.

I learned a lot about Milton Hershey The gifts hope is nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I think this is worth visiting.

Nice way to spend an hour if you're in the Harrisburg area. The museum is easy to get to and there is lots of free parking. Easy walk to close places to eat... even a Primanti Brothers

Loved the experience of the hands on stops in the museum. You can spend hours there and not see everything. It was a very interesting experience to hear all the things Hershey did for the community.

We arrived in Hershey on Saturday for Labor Day weekend. Booking at the Hershey Lodge we recieved complementary tickets to the Gardens and Story Museum.After 3+ hours in the car, our toddler enjoyed being about to run around and play at Hershey Gardens for a few hours and walk around the museum while we waited for our room to be ready!The personalized token for listening to the stories was fun and interactive!

When visiting Hershey, PA, the must-see attractions include the History Museum, chocolate tasting, and the Chocolate Lab. These activities are enjoyable for both adults and kids alike. The facilities are beautiful, offering convenient parking, and interactive activities. It's a perfect blend of fun and learning, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the remarkable story of Hershey's.

MOST HAPPIEST PLACE i ever went there… I can’t believe i went there & enough times spent easily . My family just 100 times thanking me to how much good place i search for spring vacation !!! Tap tap tap , tap my shoulder 🤣Just one word for Hershey world is AMAZING ENOUGH ! Highly recommended for this place , how I amazed when i saw the light post or road lamp posts all r shape of kisses ( hershey kisses chocolate shape ) . Too much fun - too much delicious - too much enjoyable place Hershey museum is !!WE DID “ MAKE YOUR OWN CHOCOLATE “That is funnnnnn 🥳🥳🥳🥳Personal name on it it added extra value or extra energy 🤩i know i know its a kids area but we as a parents enjoy 😉 too . Plz plz plz go there ! There stuffs r all amazing & they give free chocolate like heaven . Ha ha ha ha mast say WE WILL GO AGAIN 🍫

The museum was fairly small and took under an hour to see it all. A little disappointing for $16.50. They only give you one rfid token per party to activate various stories around the museum. I would recommend buying 1 ticket at a time, so group members can explore separately.There was some interesting information about Milton Hershey's life, but I would have liked to see more about the chocolate factory.I am not sure if this museum is related to Hersheypark. They do not offer a discount for season pass holders.We went here and to the Hershey Gardens. With driving it took about 3 hours and cost $33 per person. I would recommend spending a few more dollars to get an extra day at the park, or exploring Harrisburg if you have had enough amusement park.

Day trip on a family vacation to this venue and Hershey's Chocolate World. Did the chocolate making class and story tour. Really enjoyed our time learning about the beginnings of Hershey chocolate, but also the development of the town. Had a good family meal at the cafe.

I was so impressed by this place. Was not supposed to go but the building is so nice. Did not know the full story of Hershey and everything is so well explained. A must

This review is specifically about the chocolate tasting. This is a must do! It allows you to taste different percentages of chocolate but also different regions. Fantastic experience and is self paced so you can hang out and chat with friends while working your way through 6 tastes. $13 for a 6 sample flight.

This place is so cool! I love the interactive exhibits and the set up of the actual museum portion. I loved the little coin they gave to interact with the exhibit. The hot chocolate tasting was really cool and the guy who was handing out the flights was super nice.

Very informative and full of history. Makes me want to move to Hershey! Milton Hershey and his wife are definitely is celebrated and honored here. The things they have done are very rare. Glad to have come here

Our visit to Hershey Gardens was an absolute delight from start to finish! Nestled in the heart of Hershey, this botanical gem offers a perfect blend of beauty, relaxation, and fun for the entire family.The grounds are impeccably maintained, with vibrant flower beds, serene walking paths, and a stunning array of plants and trees. The Butterfly Atrium was a highlight for our kids; they were fascinated by the colorful butterflies fluttering around and even landing on them! It was a magical experience that they still talk about.We also loved the Children's Garden, which is designed specifically with little ones in mind. Our kids enjoyed exploring the interactive exhibits and learning about nature in a hands-on way. The garden is well thought out, with plenty of shaded areas, benches for resting, and educational signage that made the visit both fun and informative.The seasonal displays were breathtaking, and it's clear that a lot of thought and care goes into every aspect of the gardens. We visited during the summer, and the blooming roses were absolutely stunning. The combination of natural beauty and family-friendly activities made Hershey Gardens a perfect destination for our day out.Overall, Hershey Gardens exceeded our expectations in every way. Whether you're a nature lover, a family with young children, or just looking for a peaceful escape, Hershey Gardens is a must-visit. We'll definitely be returning!

I've been to several botanical gardens around the country and this one was one of the best I've found. The amazing collection of flowers and trees spread throughout the grounds is truly awe inspiring and well worth a trip. The grounds is large enough that even if there are others you don't even notice. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience! I went with my husband and purchased the tickets online. It was gorgeous! It made a great date experience as it wasn't crowded and allowed you some seclusion to take it all in. The flowers were breathtaking. We learned a lot of botanical names. We also walked through the butterfly atrium as well. It was very affordable. The tickets stay good for a full year until used. I would highly recommend this place as a memorable experience for families, children, couples, and mobile seniors. There is a lot of walking involved, so just be aware of that in advance.

Hershey Gardens is a well curated experience that regardless of the time of year you will see new plants, new colors and find something you did not see the last time you were there. At the entrance you can chose to visit the butterfly arboretum or bypass and stroll the gardens, one of the main attractions are the acres of roses- I was concerned that coming in a heatwave in July we would miss the blooms but this was not the case- a crayola box full of blends and tones of variations of color scatter through the acres of roses, and the layering of plants in the garden provide a visual feast of colors; before entering the main building there is an entire embankment of pollinator plants that lead down the hillside. Regardless of how old the children are or whether they are not there, we enjoy the children’s garden; the trees are simply amazing. The history of the garden itself is something that someone could write home about - tribute garden, gift shop, it’s a lovely way to spend a couple hours in the heat of the summer. Always an anticipated trip. They have educational programs as well as less structured activities, and this last visit Zoo America also had a naturalist presence.

So lovely here! If it weren't for the humidity, I could spend all day in the Butterfly Atrium! 🦋The gardens were well curated and manicured, making this a really peaceful spot to enjoy being in nature, listening to the breeze, water fountain, and birds. 😊🌳🌿🌹🌷⛲A great place to work remotely, read a book, get some thinking done, or go for a walk/jog to clear your mind.

Beautiful gardens as well as fantastic butterfly atrium. The staff was very friendly, and the grounds are clean and well-kept! This is a lovely change of pace for when you tire of CHOCOLATE! ☺️ We bought the tickets bundled with The Hershey Museum, so we saved a bit. Would highly recommend!

Small butterfly atrium might take less than 10 minutes to walk through. The Gardens had just roses still bloomed(this is mid fall now) but I am sure it's a fabulous place come spring time with plenty of paths to explore from the Children's Garden to the Japanese Garden and even more. I will revisit this Spring! Entrance price is typical "Hershey" and the gift shop might require you work some O.T. in advance to make a purchase but again, it's Hershey so I guess it all makes sense. Worth checking out once.

It is one of the best gardens I have ever seen. I loved the beautiful butterfly park there. It houses various species of butterflies, Tarantulas and flogs. I have also seen Atlas Moth which is largest species of moths.Rose garden and other part of garden is beautiful.Thanks to the people who manage the operations.

Hershey Gardens is an absolute gem, especially if you’re a fan of butterflies. The butterfly atrium is a standout feature that transports you to a tropical paradise filled with vibrant, fluttering butterflies. As soon as you enter, you’re greeted by a warm, humid environment that mimics the natural habitats of these delicate creatures. The variety of butterflies is impressive, with species from all over the world showcasing an array of colors and patterns. It’s a wonderful learning experience as well, with informative displays and friendly staff who are always eager to share interesting facts about the butterflies and their life cycles.The lush plant life within the atrium adds to the magical atmosphere. It’s not just about the butterflies; the whole setting is beautifully maintained, making it a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts. Everywhere you look, there’s something captivating, from exotic flowers to delicate vines that create a harmonious environment for the butterflies.Beyond the butterfly atrium, Hershey Gardens offers an expansive outdoor garden area that’s equally enchanting. The themed gardens, such as the rose garden and Japanese garden, provide a serene walking experience with plenty of benches to sit and take in the beauty. The Children’s Garden is a fantastic addition for families, offering interactive elements that engage kids in nature and gardening.Overall, Hershey Gardens is a must-visit destination for anyone in the area. It’s a peaceful, educational, and visually stunning place that offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, a visit to Hershey Gardens, especially the butterfly atrium, is an experience you won’t forget.

Beautiful to go, great for family or hang out out in yard.The butterflies room is amazing to see all colourful flying around, you get to see their hanging before they hatch out.Would come back again

Gorgeous gardens with such beautifully kept plants. It's like walking through a magically enchanted perfectly put together display of the most beautiful plants you could ever imagine. The rose gardens are so magnificent I could have stayed there all day.

Great time, as always. The gardens are kept well, and the facility offers a nice educational experience where several types of butterflies are available to view in person. Also, the main facility offers a gift shop, beverages, and air conditioning.The views are spectacular and contribute to an overall relaxing experience, with plenty of places to sit and take in the serenity.

Enjoyed our stroll through the gardens. Extensive rose gardens. Fun Children’s area. Butterfly 🦋 garden is FULL of butterflies and knowledgeable docents. Indoor reception hall had benches so we could cool off from 90 degree heat, plus potted plants in interesting combinations. We will visit again!

Spectacular. The tulips were in full bloom. The trees were blooming with some in leaf. The entire garden is meticulously manicured. There are several gardens that make up the complex. There is no printed map and you should photograph the one in the conservatory. A must see.

The Hershey Gardens is one of our most favorite places to visit when we are in Hershey. The rose gardens are absolutely stunning in early June! The arboretum, children’s garden, and butterfly house also make this trip very enjoyable and relaxing. All of the staff we have encountered have always been very courteous and friendly, especially in the butterfly house. There is a small gift shop located in the conservatory building as well. I definitely recommend an outing here at the gardens if you’re looking for a more relaxed way to spend time in the Hershey area!

Beautiful gardens, butterfly house was a fun treat, the kids enjoyed the children's garden. Rose garden was adorable, Japanese garden was a lot of fun. The little store had some cute things. We had to buy one of the color changing in the sun shirts for the kids (like I had as a kid) and a sucker with ants on it to try. Would definitely go again.

We went on a weekday and it was almost empty :) huuge plus is a free parking ( I did not expect anything free in Hershey 🤣) Definitely liked their butterfly atrium. Many different butterflies to see super close and some might land on you too.

We stayed at the Hershey campground so we got a discount which was awesome, perks of staying at an affiliate hotel! Didn’t get to see the whole gardens it just was so so so hot out, but what we did see was beautiful. There is no strollers inside where the butterfly’s are just for safety of the butterflies, there’s stroller parking just around the corner from the atrium. A big plus for me is that they’re autism friendly, they had sensory backpacks (fcfs) you just give your ID and they hold it up at the ticket counter and once you return the backpack you get your ID back. Very awesome thing they offer ❤️ the staff is super friendly and are there to help!

I have high standards for botanic gardens and someone with a membership at my local one, and I was more than impressed with Hershey Gardens! The butterfly room was incredible and packed with butterflies and moths. Having the fruit out to lure them to areas you could see them was such a smart idea and made them easy to find. The rose garden was a natural highlight, but the entire grounds were just lovely. It is mostly outdoors, so prepare to walk a bit and wear sunscreen.

I was skeptical about going but I was pleasantly surprised. The butterfly exhibit was amazing! The grounds were huge with a great variety of plants. Also enjoyed the food trucks.

Really beautiful and well maintained grounds. I quite enjoyed walking through and appreciating the area. There's a smaller section for children that is a ton of fun along with a garden that was planted by students. Stop by the butterfly atrium for another great experience, ton of free parking too, I liked it.

This was my first time visiting for the holiday season. It was very pretty but overally crowded in some of the attractions. We weren't able to see everything they had to offer because they closed so early, even on a Friday. Chocolate World was closed as well, and so we're most of the rides. It was a nice experience but I wouldn't come back during the holidays. I feel like it was too expensive for what it was.

Fun, relatively clean park with lots of entertaining rides. Fun for the whole family! If you like coasters this is one of the best bangs for your buck. A tip, look at the prices of the fast track to see how busy it will be on your visit. The lower the price, the less busy the park will be. Most of all, have a good time!

I would highly recommend this park to anyone and everyone! Super fun and just tons of stuff to get into. I’m sure during peak season it’s super crowded and busy but I had a blast. Kid friendly for sure!

My family and I had a wonderful time at Hershey! The weather was perfect for the activity and the crowd was fair. The wait for the ride weren’t bad either. The park was clean and the atmosphere was welcoming. We went during Mother’s Day weekend and it was a great time. The water park was not open just yet. I am from PA and still live here so my commute was not bad (1 1/2 hours). Go go go!!!!! Hershey park is a wonderful time and the plus is it is perfect for all ages!!

Beautiful day. The food was decent. Didn't seem too packed, but you still need to pay extra for fast track if you want to get on all the big rides. Otherwise, you're standing in line all day. We did go on Sunday with shorter hours, which made it worse, but still had a great day with family.

This park is huge! There's definitely something for everyone here. The scare houses / haunted houses in the fall are so intricate and cool! It's definitely worth it to buy a fast pass. The lines can be very lengthy. We wanted to go during a weekday to avoid crowds. But they weren't even open to giving the option. With the amount of people who were there, I think it'd be worth it for them to open for weekdays even in off season! Such a fun time regardless. I definitely didn't get photos of all the cool and diverse things here, I was too preoccupied.

Very fun park with lots of different rides to choose from, such as dropping towers or frightening roller coasters. However, I believe that pricing has become too much, especially with parking. I was able to purchase parking for $25 for a general parking spot, but the regular price is $35, which is outrageous for a parking spot. I also feel that team members could have been nicer with fast pass. One member of my party was disabled and had an accessible fast pass, but the team members were very rude about letting us pass, even with a disability. On the other hand, the rides were very amusing and entertaining. I believe that Hershey Park is a great day trip for children and adults alike, but be weary of pricing and staff occasionally.

We had such a blast at Hershey Park!!! The kids are finally old enough to be able to enjoy the rides and explore the entire park, which was so much fun!!I loved seeing all the animals, going on the low-key rides and eating at the restaurant and shopping at the big gift shop!A few recommendations: get your tickets in advance! Pay the extra money for the fast pass because the lines to roller-coasters have long wait times.... if you like to eat their restaurant located in the front of the park, make reservations beforehand because the wait time is super long....My only complaint is that the bathrooms are kinda of gross🤢 special towards the end of the day.... so make sure you have baby wipes for your hands!!Also, get there when the park first opens....Can't wait to go for the Halloween♡

We've been in PA for over a year and finally got a chance to come here. It was such a great experience. I got to see so many different types of chocolates that I haven't seen. We didn't have enough time to do the tour, so we will do this next time. Even though it was busy for a Saturday, there was enough parking. Long line-ups are to be expected if you want to buy items like milkshakes, etc. Overall the family had a great experience.

I would love to give this park 5 stars. It is a beautiful park that includes a theme park, water park, zoo and Chocolate world. They have fantastic rides for everyone, including a great coaster selection! You can easily spend 2-3 days here. The food was very good and overall the prices were reasonable. And don't miss out on the shakes and Sundays at Chocolate world. 😋My issues with the park are line jumping and ride operations. On our first day at the park we had 40-50 people cut line in front of us. Our second day we had even more issues than that!! There were 2 times employees were right there and didn't say a word to the people cutting.Ride operations, at most rides, were average to below average compared to other parks. Some rides, like Candymonium, were terrible. Candymonium was taking 3-5 minutes to dispatch a train. There was a constant backup of all 3 trains and this is a high capacity coaster that should be chewing through riders! Overall we had a good time, however, these 2 issues really impact a guest experience and is something that needs to be addressed.

We went to chocolate town in Hershey and road the trolley and made candy bars. It is a fun experience for all ages and brings out the kid in all of us. Great family trip and a trip down memory lane for couples. They offer a theme park that looked like a fun thing to do with the family. The food in the town was great and highly recommend you take time to explore.

FYI, With a single ticket purchase you get to preview the park 1.5 hours the day before closing time. So if you plan to visit the whole day on Saturday and Friday closes at 10pm you can come in at 8:30pm on Friday at no extra charge, even the parking is free on Friday. You also want to purchase parking tickets ahead of time because it’s cheaper than paying at the gate. The Hershey Park app is a good tool to see the wait times for the rides. IMHO, this park is the best value for the money.Before the entrance you have the Hershey Chocolate Tour which is a free sit down ride for the whole family that tells you about the history and how they make the chocolate, and at the end they give you a free piece of chocolate. The rides are unbelievable, and my favorite is Wildcats Revenge. Auntie Mortem’s Abaattoir was my favorite haunted house. The pig head masks were very cool.I had an issue that was my fault which would have ruined my vacation and I went to Guest Services and I ended up speaking with a supervisor and he understood my problem and he did the right thing and made it right. All I have to say is they have the best customer service and I will be a customer for the rest of my life. The staff for the rides are also very polite and professional. They take safety very seriously at the park.

My daughter and I had a blast at Hersheypark!I certainly recommend visiting!There’s many options for all types of ride lovers!We started off at the Skyzone roller coaster, not knowing it was the fastest one!It was terrifying! Not great for beginners, but fun.We later found the Great Bear roller coaster- which was much better- starts you off at not so much of an extreme- it’s exhilarating to ride!The jolly rancher remix coaster might jostle your brain, like it did mine- just beware.The water park was fun, but extremely busy- had about a 1/2 hour wait to do the super tall water slides, but it was worth it a couple times.I definitely recommend visiting and ideally spending at least a couple days here to be able to enjoy it thoroughly.

Hersheypark is awesome!! This was the first stop on a cross country adventure I’m embarking on with my granddaughter and I’m so glad we did!The park was clean, the staff was friendly and happy to help anyone who needed it.They don’t accept cash ( which blew my mind… hey, I’m old school… what can I say)?But they do have “cash to card” machines that convert paper currency to a credit card that you can use to make purchases. So, it worked out well.There are several roller coasters to choose from, so everyone can experience the thrill! From the colossal size of “Candy Monium”, to the mid-sized “Wild Mouse”, or the somewhat docile ride of “Trail Blazer”, you just can’t go wrong!For those of you who remember Rocky Point, they even have the Music Express, which was an instant favorite for us, since we went on it several times!!The park also has ZooAmerica, which is a smaller sized zoo to walk through with well marked paths. Upon entering, be sure to get your hand stamped to re-enter the amusement park area when you’re done viewing the animals.Overall, it was well worth the trip and I’m glad I got to finally experience it with my granddaughter!

What a well designed park. Rides and coasters everywhere. Marketing not in your face despite it being a Hershey themed park. And everything was affordable from the food and beverages to the snacks and souvenirs.Best part of all was that so many “big” rollercoasters could be ridden by smaller kids. Our youngest was able to ride nearly every coaster and had the time of his life.It was very busy, so without a fast past you will be waiting over an hour for the most popular rides during the day. But after 4pm the lines disappear and you can get on any ride with barely any wait time.Highly recommend this park!!!

Fun experience! Wildcats roller coaster was my favorite.However, I’d recommend getting a fast pass. We got inside an hour after it opened and we waited 2 hours in line to get on one ride. So our time there was mostly spent in line and we didn’t get to see the whole park.

It was our first time visiting Hersheypark in the Dark, and we all had an amazing time!Their haunted houses were awesome! My kids already can't wait to go again next year! (Also wanted to add...I have below, "no wait to enter," this is obviously just to enter the park. Unfortunately, the lines for the haunted houses do get pretty long, but they move fast!

Awesome Reality,This place is everything I ever wanted and more. The rides were unpredictable as each one had its own twist of excitement. The cars displayed throughout the park were epic. Just check out the new 2010 off brand 4-person car escort to have your eyes blown away by the capability the car has. Finally, I got a chance to meet some of the characters there, and man, they sure love to bust a move. The environment was great, and the employees were good. However, 16.95 for a lemonade? 7 bucks for popcorn? 7 bucks for cotton candy? It is an unfortunate twist of events. Unfortunately, this type of pricing is just as bad as that one steakhouse in uptown manhattan. Even the characters couldn't save this park from getting 5 stars. Besides that, this park is perfect in every other way. Would highly recommend it. Just make sure to save a couple thousand of bucks, and you should be good.Reporting from Hershey © Park,That's all I'm going to say

Hershey Park has some of the best roller coasters around. Once the kids hit Hershey Bar height requirements, lots of options open up, much more than at the Reese's Cup height. It's also kept clean, and lines weren't bad for an August weekend. The park is hilly and takes a bit of effort to cross if you aren't used to it.

It was great, a bit expensive, but lots of fun 😀 the rides were great. I wish they lasted a little longer, but I had a wonderful time. However, if you ever want to see a Real tour of a Hershey factory, there is an actual running factory in Modesto, California. You can see how they actually make the chocolate and all the different candy. They have a small store as well. And give you a full-size candy bar at the end of the tour.

We went for the Creed Concert and Park. It wasn’t overly crowded on Friday, food and drinks at the park are your typical amusement park prices and quality. The flavored lemonades at some of the stands were good. The lines for rides weren’t terrible on Friday.Saturday, it was very crowded and the lines for rides were 30min-120+min, it was harder to get around due to the volume of people walking and the strollers.

Park was enjoyable! We don't ride rides so we solely came for dark nights. It was a Good time to just walk around and see the actors dressed up! And got food passes to try different food and drink items in the park.

We’ve gone every year for the past three years for day trips and it is 100% some of my favorite memories with my kids. The perfect mix of small medium big and VERY big rides. & The gift shops are Christmas gift heaven. I mean everyone has their fav candy right?!My favorite thing about this park is the short wait times. We like to go somewhat “off season” September-November and we literally ride every ride, some multiple times. You beat the heat that way too. Money well spent. It’s also incredibly clean.Since we only do day trips we are always able to do something different when we go. Realistically you could probably do all Hershey has to offer in 3 or 4 days. But even then… I promise you’ll want to go back 😎

The best amusement park I’ve ever been to. So much fun. We managed to get all of the coasters which made my whole family happy. Good history!

Great experience. The park was not very busy, so we were able to get on a ton of excellent roller coasters with less than 30 minute wait. The rides were not quite as cool or massive as Cedar Point but still better than the vast majority of amusement parks. They have at least 10 really solid coasters and a ton of smaller rides.They really know how to treat you like a human being. There are a ton of places to get water for free all over the park, which was super appreciated since the weather was in the upper 90s both days.Make sure to stop by the big store to the right before the park entrance. There is a cool animatronic factory tour and you get a free little hershey bar at the end.We planned in advance and got an unlimited fast track pass, this turned out to be a waste as the park was not busy. Theoretically they can sell out or raise the prices of fast passes, but I would recommend seeing how busy the park is the day of your visit before buying one after our experience and checking out ride wait times on other days on the app.

We arrived at Hersheypark at 9 AM, excited for a day of fun. The park is divided into themed areas like Chocolatetown and Pioneer Frontier. We rode several thrilling roller coasters and enjoyed the water rides, having an amazing time. Afterward, we grabbed a quick bite with some classic theme park snacks. Fun fact: Hersheypark was originally created for Hershey company employees. Another fun fact: the park offers free chocolate samples! The only downside? Some rides have long waits, but the mix of chocolate and thrills made it an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful experience! Went for my 21st birthday and was very pleased with how the weekend went! Here’s a few pros and cons after going a couple of times!Pros: The park is gorgeous and well themed. You can tell a ton of love and care went into every square inch of this place. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the park is damn near spotless. The ride lineup is great as well, with a ton of variety for people of all ages.The amenities are nice. Food is above average, and some of the coasters offer free lockers if there's a hard ban on loose articles.Cons: Ride ops leave a lot to be desired. Even with the fast passes, we only averaged 2 rides per hour due to the insane delays between trains leaving the station. Some coasters were worse than others, but overall it was pretty bad. I truly feel for the folks that didn't blow a couple hundred on the wristbands.Some of the food spots are clustered together in a central location, which is kind of convenient. However, the operations are AWFUL and the lines were unbelievably long. However, this is an easy fix: just find a spot outside of that central area.

We had a fantastic time. The animals are well taken care of and the enclosures are clean and well maintained. Our guide on the safari tour was awesome! Thanks Todd!! The food and souvenirs were fairly priced. Great date ideas and perfect for families. Just a very nice atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough!

We love this park. The entry and safari ride fees are totally reasonable. Parking is easy and free. We travelled with a bunch of teenage kids, so being able to pack a lunch and eat at one of the many picnic areas made the trip budget friendly. And the animals are so cool, especially the petting area.

Lake Tobias was such an amazing experience!! We took my daughter for her birthday and she had a great time. It's not a huge park but there's so much to see and you could definitely spend all day exploring. The safari was the best part! Our tour guide was great, and we loved seeing all the animals run up to the bus for snackies and petting. Admission was very affordable and will definitely be coming back.

This was the best day ever for me, my husband and my mother in law. The park staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure we could get my mother in law to all the exhibits and take her on her wheelchair on the safari tour. Mike who drives the "limo" golf cart and mike who drove the safari bus were amazing. Somehow the Mike with the golf cart would always find us in need of him and tell us to call for him when we were done at an exhibit and when I didnt and I started pushing her somewhere, he would find us and help us once again! It was like ths whole park was there for us and it was the most special day I could ever have imagined. In a world where it is SO HARD to find handicap accessible entertainment, there is Lake Tobias. I cant believe they dont charge more. I am so thankful, you made our entire year. You guys are an absolute blessing for Pa and this world is lucky to have this amazing place in it. 30 out of 10. Best place ever.

We recently visited Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, and overall, it was a pleasant experience, especially for families with young kids. While we enjoyed our time, I would say there were fewer animals than we expected. It’s not quite the expansive zoo you might find in larger cities, but the animals they do have are well cared for and seem to be in good health, which is important.The safari ride, which is one of the main attractions, was just okay. It’s a fun concept, riding in an open-air vehicle through a large enclosure where animals roam freely, but the variety of animals wasn’t as impressive as we thought it might be. The guide provided some interesting facts, though, which made the ride enjoyable enough.Where Lake Tobias really shines is its petting zoo. This area is fantastic for kids! They can get up close with goats, sheep, and other friendly animals. The interactive element was a big hit with our children, and they loved feeding and petting the animals.The park itself is clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. While it might not be a place we’d visit frequently, it’s certainly a nice day trip for families with young children looking for a low-key outdoor adventure.

We have been to Lake Tobias many times and it never disappoints. $38 for two people to have 4 hours of fun. In my eyes, the price is well worth it. The safari ride on the bus tour is an experience that you cannot find anywhere else in the area. There are many animals that you can see up close that you would probably not find in a traditional zoo experience. I would recommend showing up close to the opening time because the parking fills up quick and it gets busy quick. Also make sure to stop by the reptile building for the 20 minute reptile show. Overall, great place to find entertainment for the whole family.

We took the almost two hour drive from Baltimore and had a great time! This was our first time but it won't be our last. I was amazed at how many animals were there, that I had never heard of, and I'm an animal lover. We experienced the safari and enjoyed hearing all the interesting facts about the animals on the trail. We even had a chance to see the exotic animal presentation and the petting zoo. And to experience all of this for only $19!!!!! This place was a great decision for our date ( we're adults but kids at heart) Thanks Lake Tobias Wildlife Park and all your friendly employees. 👋🏾

Absolutely loved this place. Plenty of bathrooms for little bladders. So much to see and interact with! You HAVE to do the safari. It's amazing, informative and so fun. Food purchase before hand and it's only $4 to feed them. It's a once in a life time experience and it's absolutely beautiful. The animals are happy and well taken care of unlike other parks I've been to with the kids. Parking is very accommodating. Just make sure you're ready for lots of walking! There is golf carts they have around to accommodate those with disabilities. And food places reasonably priced. Also loved seeing the reptile shows throughout the day! ❤️

This was a great location with lots to do. They have larger zoo animals like lions and Tigers, they have a petting and feeding zoo, they have a cute safari ride to feed the more mild mannered animals, and they have reptile encounters too. They have a museum, gift shop and places to eat. The food is fairly priced and pretty tasty. Employees there in my experience were friendly and helpful!

This is a very neat little place. Our visit was not crowded. You can spend 3 - 4 hours here fairly easy. The Safari Tour is the big attraction and it did not disappoint. However, there are several other attractions/exhibits that are neat.I recommend get on as early safari ride as possible. Seems like the early tours fill up quick.Plenty of restroom facilities and well maintained. A number of food options with several places to sit and eat. Parking is a little confusing if you have never visited. They have multiple parking areas. Seems like most people entered the lower area.Several animal feeding stations throughout the park.The history museum is worth a few moments of your time.Need a small activity that doesn't take the whole day-unless you want it to. This is the place.

I used to visit here as a child and it was great back then. It has grown and evolved into an amazing, family oriented, fun and exciting place!!! Lake Tobias has so many different kinds of animals and so many opportunities to get close to them! We got to feed Giraffes, all kinds of horned/antlered animals on the safari ride, and even pet snakes and alligators! Truly an amazing experience for all. If you live in PA or any surrounding state, this is a must visit location.

My sisters and I came through that direction from Pittsburgh to attend an event in Reading, PA and found this place online in an effort to find something fun to do on the way and we had an amazing time! Prices were great, exhibits were beautiful and spacious, and the place is huge. We spent half of what we would’ve spent during a visit to our home zoo. And our safari tour guide, Todd, was awesome! Whatever that man’s wage is, double it. Thank you for an amazing day!

Lake Tobias is a perfect place for people of all ages. My group arrived early. There is plenty of parking and lots of bathrooms throughout the park. The animals look well taken care of and have big exhibits. I loved the safari ride because you were able to pet all the animals and feed them. Be prepared to walk a lot!

This was the first trip to Lake Tobias for my family and we will definitely be returning again. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. The animals all looked and acted like they were being very well taken care of and were happy. ( there was a bear that was looking not so happy he might need a bit of extra attention)The safari ride was amazing. Don't be Intimidated by the long line there are many busses and the wait is worth it. If you have young children get them some snacks at the snack shack at the beginning of the line. Definitely suggest you get a few cups of food to take along because the animals will walk right up to the bus waiting to eat right from your hand.

This was our first trip to the park! It was an amazing adventure. For my family the 2-hour card ride was well worth it. My 3-year-old daughter loved being able to get so close to the animals on the safari ride. It was a great experience even for my son who is just over a year old. The other cool thing in my opinion is it is very reasonably priced. I would have figured ticks, Food, and little gifts from the gift shop would have been well over $100. The nice thing about this place is you can bring a packed lunch and they have a bunch of pavilions thought the park. With the safari ride it definitely makes for some unforgettable memories.

Awesome little wildlife park! Todd was our safari ride tour guide & he was great—talk about dad jokes! I love that this place isn’t like most zoo’s that only have small enclosures for their animals, there was plenty of space for all animals. Definitely worth the visit.

My children had an absolute ball, the tour guide Nikita and zookeeper Brandon were engaging and very friendly, we were part of reptile show and the safari and both were amazing. They made education fun. We will definitely visit again.

Truly enjoy this place each time we come! Loved seeing the lions in a much bigger space and all of the fun active animals.Also the sweetest staff ever. Renee was a great tour guide and driver on the safari. And the sweet security/first aid man who tried to help with a splinter in our littlest was caring and beyond kind. (Just so he is aware, we were able to get the splinter out once we got home).

This is a great place, very kid and elderly friendly. I took my 80 year old dad here. I was surprised by how reasonably priced it was for admission. We spent about 3+ hours here and didn't see everything. They had lots of free roaming animals. We loved the safari ride. The animals came right up to the bus so we could hand feed them. The ride was about 35 minutes, with no wait time.

Enjoyable experience. Liked feeding a variety of animals. Some of the lines were long for the safari and food, but the wait wasn't terrible. Really enjoyed the reptile show and seeing the sloth! Also liked that the restrooms were air conditioned.

We have always loved coming here.The zoo itself is small but they have some great exhibits you can see the animals up close and you can feed many of the animals.What really makes this place worth it is the safari ride which is usually 45 minutes long. You can purchase food for $4 a cup and feed the animals along the route, all of whom are very friendly.This place also has lots of playgrounds for kids to play on around the parking lots.For food, we got a BBQ sandwich, a hamburger (which was large), chicken tenders, a family size fries, water and a mountain dew for just $32.A great day trip that I would say you could spend 3 to 4 hours at easily.

Great place to take anyone interested in the military or even history. There’s walking section outside and an indoor museum. When inside, get a set of dog tags from the information desk. It will unlock a more immersive experience. You’ll get to know a real soldier’s experiences. Our group got several different eras. Don’t forget to check out the gift shop. The donated book selection is huge and very inexpensive.Outside has buildings and pieces of equipment from across time.Staff members were really friendly and everything was well maintained. We’ll be back!!

Amazing! Extremely interactive and historical look at Army history from Revolutionary War time thru Gulf War. Lots of photos, clear explanations and original equipment built into full scale displays that can be walked through, entered, etc... Both honors our military and those who served in a respectful way as well as accurately depicts conditions and hazards our troops experienced.We only walked outside and did not get to see the museum indoors. Please be sure to allow at least 2 hours or more for this amazing facility. Also, note that the majority of this facility both indoors and out is handicap accessible. Five star

This place is beyond amazing. For any military lover this is the place for you. They have a ton of stuff inside to see and interact with. They have an interactive shooting range and also an interactive parachute game. They have a path to walk around outside and see military helicopters and tanks as well as bunkers you can walk down. They have a nice gift shop to look at, and the staff are beyond amazing.

I recommend only walking on cooler days, as there are very few trees and shady places to walk though. It was a good little trail just to cruise through. Tons of wood bees near the back end of the trail. It was interesting to read about what they had showcased there.

Took my parents to visit since my dad is a military history nerd. We had a lot of fun and learned so much! I would highly recommend visiting as something to do on a random weekend. It's all free too!The indoor exhibit is super interesting. I highly recommend getting the solider cards from the information deck. The interactive exhibit are fun and add a great personal touch to the history you're reading. There's a LOT of information so plan to take your time to get the full affect. There's also some fun stuff that I think kids will love like a parachute simulation and virtual shooting range.The outdoor path is awesome! The signs scattered throughout explain what you're seeing and provide information as current as 2023! The German bunker and the World War 1 trench were my favorite but I also enjoyed the tanks and helicopter.There is limited shade along the outdoor path, so I high suggest bringing a water bottle out with you and wearing your sunscreen.

So glad we discovered this place. It's a wonderful way to view, learn, and preserve the history of the US Army! Great parking, admission is free (paid for by our taxes), that is. Enjoy it! Great for a family outing. Need a full day to really go through everything, but it's self paced! We visited during the Army Expo 24 event.

This was our first family visit, and we were very impressed. The breadth of topics represented was amazing. We had mainly come to see the exhibit about the role of comics in the military, and it was fascinating.In addition, we enjoyed the interactive elements in the museum. My husband and I both rode on the simulated parachute, and sat in a bunker.We finished off our visit in the gift shop. We bought tshirts, but there were many other relevant items for sale.We will definitely return.

Excellent place to walk around see history of war. In building (free admission donation)lot of army history and gift shop and some food vending machines person front is very nice knowledgeable thank you.

The exhibits are very nice. The problem is there are too many exhibits with very loud dialog. One exhibit features the same drill sergeant twice, one yelling orders, and the other one explaining her philosophy about the Army. Both are competing for attention, and neither winning. They just give you a headache.This is throughout the museum. Noise, noise, noise!There are military vehicles all along the grounds outside. It was such a beautiful day that we walked and saw them all. Appalachian Brewing Company has a restaurant at the golf course. Good prices and good food. Nice view too.A nice way to spend the day. Best of all...it's free!

Great place to learn about the Army. So many exhibits and expansive grounds with trails for walking. So much to do here, you can enjoy a visit with a little time or spend all day.

This is a very nice museum to visit if you like learning about history. There are many interactive things at the museum that make it unique compared to others. There is also a whole outside ground full of bunkers and cabins you can tour. A few on the interactive activities inside weren't accurate, like the gun shooting station or the telephone to listen to soldiers calling home, but other than that it was great!

I've been coming here for quite a while. So when my wife and I came home for a vacation, we decided to bring her sons here. They loved it, and I enjoyed sharing the experience with them. The walk-through inside is amazing. And filled with great facts and displays about the army. The outdoor trail takes you through all time periods related to the US Army. It's a great place for a day trip, and you can visit historic Carlisle.

If you or your kids are into army stuff this is a must visit! You can learn so much about different periods of conflict around the globe and the involvement of the US Army. Impressive and well maintained collection of stationary exhibits, some of them very interactive and ready to be touched and felt. Lovely surroundings! Great gift shop where you can get your own dog tags made. Impressive way to honor our heroes!

This place was an interesting surprise. We saw the military equipment from the thruway unaware of what it was, and took a chance visit. Loved the museum interaction and the many displays out on the paths. Great learning experience.

Excellent grounds to walk to explore historical military replicas and transportation vehicles. Inside is filled with such education. Definitely a must stop. There is something here for all ages.

My wife and I home school our children, so we are always looking for field trip ideas to break up the monotony of just being stuck at home every day doing your schooling. We like to get the kids out of the house and still have it counted as a learning experience. We definitely found that at the US Army Heritage and Education Center. The kids learned a little, got hands-on with some of the very detailed exhibits, and even got a little exercise on the mile long Heritage Trail outside the Education Center. There was so much to see and do. It kept us all occupied for hours. The employees that we came in contact with were all great, full of information, and ready to answer any questions with very enthusiastic attitudes. Overall, this place is huge and filled with so much content. I definitely recommend it for families who might be home schooling their children, but honestly for anyone who is looking for something to fill their day and looking to learn a little something as well. Thanks for a great field trip.

Went there with the family and it was a great experience! There is an indoor museum with displays to both look at and interact with. A couple displays may be too graphic for children but it really is a great learning experience for Children and adults! There is also a hiking trail on the side of the facility with tanks, forts, and a couple helicopters to see. All this along with a gift shop! 😁❣️

The US Army heritage is a rich tapestry of courage, sacrifice, and resilience. Its interactive exhibits offer a captivating journey through time, highlighting pivotal moments in American military history. Visitors can explore meticulously curated displays, engaging with artifacts and learning about the soldiers who shaped our nation's destiny. The informative presentations provide a comprehensive understanding of the Army's evolution, from its inception to modern-day operations. This immersive experience fosters a deep appreciation for the men and women who have served, showcasing their unwavering commitment to protecting freedom and upholding values. The US Army heritage is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to honor and understand the indelible mark the Army has left on American history.

My only complaint is it's run by the army. #airForceIt's a great museum and the little gift shop is really well populated. It's aimed at all ages and is good with lots of touch and learn things for kids.Free entrance. Donation requesting. You're able to get a self guided tour.

I love their interactive exhibit and the trail is a fun and interesting place to walk!

Gettysburg National Military Park blew us away. The landscape is absolutely beautiful – rolling fields, impressive monuments, and so much history everywhere you look. Walking around, it’s hard not to feel the weight of everything that happened here.We used the Auto Tour on the National Parks app, which made it easy to explore at our own pace and was super convenient. It added just enough background to make each stop even more meaningful. If you’re ever in the area, this is a must-see – it’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.

Great experience with the family. One of the rangers was amazing teaching our daughter more about Gettysburg. We enjoys the self guided tour (the app is free and has audio to go with the tour) and the monuments had great descriptions to them. Really felt Abraham Lincoln’s words while reading the Gettysburg address at the cemetery.

My family of 4 loved Gettysburg. My wife and I are in our 30s and have one teenager and one below the age of 10. No matter the age we had an absolutely amazing time. There is a lot to walk and see that just breathtaking. The history that took place there can realized so much more once you see it. The town was also amazing with great shops and places to eat! We really hope we can go back one day.

I have promised myself many years ago to make this trip to this hallowed ground and I finally made it. The aura of this place is unique and the monuments,along with the excellent museum can really touch the visitor. I feel blessed for this experience.

This place is absolutely great! No matter what age you are, you will always find something interesting here, and if you love history, this is the place to go. We arrived around 8:00 AM and there was barely anyone there, but shortly after it filled up with tons of visitors. Even though it was crowded, the experience was still awesome, and we got to see everything about the war at Gettysburg and it’s history. The layout is very well, and most of the things I saw I still think about whenever I’m in history class. I recommend this place to all, and it is especially good to teach your children about history at somewhere where they will find it fun!

We had a limited amount of time to explore the battlefield, and we had not realized how large the battlefield is, and how many monuments there were to visit. Our first stop was the Visitor's Center and a guide there suggested a few key spots we could check out in the short 1.5 hours we had. This was perfect. Of course, now we want to go back! One could easily spend 1 - 2 days here. I also like that you can see most of everything free of charge. You can opt to pay for extras that I'm sure enhance the experience, but the Visitor's Center, auto tour and walking trails are free.

I think should be a must for anyone. I was definitely surprised by the amount of foreigners that were visiting. The history in the museum and the surrounding areas is spectacular. Definitely take the auto tour if you don't do a bus. It's definitely worth it. It does take at least 2 hours to do the auto tour. You do need tspend the money and do the museum.

Was in the area and could only spend 2hrs there, but we saw a lot on a piece of the driving tour and the fastest trip through the museum known to man.Even with limited time, it was so impressive that I'll go back with more time in my pocket.The battlegrounds are free, but the museum cost $12 and some change or $15+ for the full experience.

The Visitor Center and Park are magnificently preserved. Highly recommend a guided bus tour. They do have audio tours that you can drive through at the park. Keep in mind this is a vast expanse of property with many monuments to see. The Visitor Center was brand new and very well organized and layout engaging displays. The movie experience is well worth the money.

Spent 3 hours touring the visitors center as there is so much to see! The Cyclorama, the film and museum were all top notch, professionally produced, informative and amazing to see. Highly recommend seeing this visitor center. Seeing the museum before touring the military park will help understand the battlefield and how the battle unfolded.

One of the most interesting and historical places in America. We started at the Visitors Center and found out you can do a self guided auto tour with narraration about each area. It takes you in order of the fighting in Gettysburg and describes what happened there. You literally could spend a month here, and still not be able to take it all in. I was able to get a much better idea of the strategy and learn more about how each state participated.

I never served in the military and was never that much of a history buff, but the experience did give me a new appreciation for the freedoms we tend to take for granted.Reading each of the engravings and the stories behind them, makes you realize how great a sacrifice was made by those who were determined to stand up for what they believed in!! Truly remarkable!!Looking across the vast, open fields, imagining the sheer bravery, chaos and sacrifice of those men was genuinely inspiring to me.There are also walking paths for those who are adventurous!I may have to post a second review to display my photos, since there are so many.There were so many monuments, unfortunately, I had to actually stop taking photos to continue on with my trip. But I’m going to use that as an excuse to come back again… lol.

Very interesting. It's too much to do and see if you want the true experience, I say give yourself a full week to take it all in. Even just the museum alone a good three days. There is so much to do what with trails, audio tours, or even bus tours.

Amazingly done so well. The one year family pass was cheaper than a regular admission. So.. we are now members. I only saw about 1/2 of the museum so coming back is a plus. I can express how well done this museum is. My childhood memories can compete with my adult experience. The video narrated by Morgan freeman is a great place to start. The app for this area is detailed and. Done better than anything I have seen. Next time I come I want to do a bus tour! Built to accommodate many people didn’t feel crowded!

Go! I would go back here every year if I could. We were really blessed to have gotten an extraordinarily intelligent tour guide. For the people that do not know, to pass the tour guide exam for the battlefields is extremely difficult. There's even been many articles written about this. For the sake of this country, our brave soldiers and just the history alone, this is a must-do on everybody's vacation list! Go & emerge yourself in seeing & hearing what it took for freedom!

Movie in the Visitor’s Center and 360 degree painting of Pickett’s Charge were very good. But the highlight of our visit was the personalized tour of the Battlefield with licensed guide Les Fowler. We signed up for the 3 hour tour and it was more than worth it. He personized it and knew we were coming from Minnesota so he made sure to spend time at the monument to the First Minnesota Regiment. But even more than that he made the battle understandable and the significance of each of the 3 days. He knew the personalities of the significant people and how that affected decisions. He knew about the monuments. He explained how the battle progressed and took us to places where we could see and understand all the positions of each part of the armies. It was amazing. He answered every question. I was most interested in the horses I especially liked the sculptures of General Reynolds horse Fancy and General Meade’s horse Old Baldy. Les knew a lot about them and the sculptures too. I highly recommend if you are going to take the time to visit Gettysburg to take a personal tour and you will be lucky if you get Les for your guide.

More history than can ever be absorbed in one day exists in this museum.This is a great place to start your journey of the war that took place on Gettysburg. I learned things while in this place I hadn't known before.There are so many weapons, men fighting for a cause, and the expanse of the battlefield is awe-inspiring. From this museum, it's not hard to download the app that takes you to different places on the battlefield and learn what happened and who was there fighting. Take your time, if you have it, because it's extensive. We went on a weekday and it was busy so I can't imagine what it would look like on a weekend in the summer. Take plenty of water and an open mind while touring the battlefield. Absorb it and take it all in to get the best experience while here!!!

The short film and cyclorama painting were worth seeing, but I expected a museum with more artifacts, considering the fee. I would have appreciated a longer film with more detail about the battle, too. The battlefield(s) would have been more understandable. A moving and worthwhile visit, nevertheless.

We arrived in the last hour before the museum closed. It didn’t make sense for us to buy tickets. But there was still a number of interesting exhibits just in the large lobby to look at with no ticket required, above and beyond the gift shop.There are also well-marked and paved paths along the grounds leading to other outdoor battle sites of interest which we were able to avail ourselves of even after the welcome center closed. Outdoor signs gave context too so we had a good idea what we were looking at, all without having to buy a ticket. Pretty cool, Gettysburg!

I hadn't been to Gettysburg since college. The building was newer with a large bookstore, restaurant, museum, and movie theater. They broke down the 3 days of battle and gave back stories about the generals and local people. A good place to visit for more information about the battle.

This is one of the best museum experiences you can have. The museum is filled with history. Don't miss the movie and rotunda experience. The battlefield is HUGE! I recommend doing the auto tour if this is your first visit. There is a beautiful cafeteria with plenty of choices if you get hungry. If your bringing your own food thier are plenty of picnic tables and benches.

I highly recommend making the visitor center your first stop. The staff was very helpful and guided us in all of our options and ways to see everything. This is a good place to get an understanding of the battle and the history of the war. The museum is filled with authentic pieces from the battle and it really brings you to the emotions that had to fill the battlefields. The cemetery is quite an honor to be able to walk through and pay our respects to the people that shaped our country to what it is today. The loss of thousands of people is very somber and you can walk peacefully through the lands that people were fighting war on. Well worth the trip and I'd definitely recommend it to any American who is lacking gratitude for their freedom!

So well done! Definitely do the cyclorama and a guided tour. We did the bus tour with Gary...he was amazing! After the bus tour we went through the museum. Suggest doing museum 1st, then bus tour. The videos presented throughout the museum are awesome! Very well done. They also have representatives from Gettysburg tourism to suggest things to do

This a very nice National Military Park to visit. The visitor center was great. I found the Cyclorama really cool. I also really like the museum. Keep in mind; the visitor center is free but the museum and cyclorama costs money. The gift shop had tons of things to choose from, but like all gift shops everywhere, it’s a little pricey. They sold really tasty fudge. The whole facility was clean and that staff was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend.

Very interesting day. Buy the ticket that includes the museum, film, and cyclorama. There is a AAA discount. We were there for over 4 hours and it really wasn't enough time. I'd plan to spend an entire day. Download the app and do the self-guided auto audio tour.

Beautiful grounds, and a wonderful tribute to our fallen and our National history.

If you love history like I do, this is the place you must visit. So many sacrificed it all, young and old. This is a special place for me. A must on your stop in Gettysburg.

The cemetery is free to visit, and so are the 3 daily guided tours. The history is so moving and it’s easy to get choked up when hearing about everything. I highly recommend the 5:30pm tour followed by Taps at 7pm. (But only if you want to cry.)

I was there in June and stayed at a hotel right across the street from it. I walked around and paid my respects to various soldiers both from the union and from the confederate side. I was very touched by this visit. I felt I was being watched but excepted by their spirits. The first two pictures below are of union soldiers from Illinois from the state I live in.

A great place to visit if you’re interested in United States history. Here you can see the graves of soldiers who fought in Gettysburg as well as the site of Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address.

This is a very nice cematary. It's sad to see all tge soldiers killed here. We went on a perfect day with a breeze. The trees are so beautiful as well. Loved walking around here and it's in the perfect spot.

I loved seeing the battle field's to sit and think of what happened here. To see our own fighting against our own for a better life for all.Both sides had their reasons. Both sides understood the cost. Now, we live in a world where no one understands the cost of freedom.Now, everyone looks the other way and forgets.I served in 2-2 Infantry for 10 years. A lot of the pictures are of 2-2 Infantry.Dedicated to my fallen brothers.

A very moving place to visit. It was emotional. This is our history, and we hope it will forever be preserved. People were very respectful as they walked through.

Our motel was close too here. We walked it ourselves in a self guided tour. Lots of status and plaques too read. So many people died it really gives you more of a perspective on the sacrifices that were made. I couldn't believe all the graves marked unknown. You can easily walk through here in under two hours. So many rabbits were running around and were not even scared of us as we approached. If you have small children they will definitely be bored walking through here. Part of the cemetery was closed and blocked off so we were unable too walk it.

The experience at Gettysburg was a solemn venture. It is a free self-guide tour, or if you want a more detailed experience, there are available tour guides in the area. Our family choose the self guided exploration of the grounds. It was an honor to walk among the beautiful landscape, immaculate stones, and to see the craftsmanship of the monuments here. There is a bit of walking, so make sure to bring some water or even a snack. The park can be fully explored in few hours. There was a parking lot adjacent to the park that had adequate parking. There is also a museum on the grounds, but it was not open when we visited here. What a great source of American history for the family! A must see if you’re traveling in the area!

We have been to the Gettysburg Soldiers National Cemetery several times; however, this year we had the opportunity to experience all of the flags on the graves during Memorial Day. Was a great site to see and experience. Full blog post and video on our website.

We went on a Sunday morning, which was perfect. We were the only people there. The quiet added to the stillness and solemn nature of the location. The monuments are magnificent. The sheer number of grave markers is daunting. Parking is easy, across the street, which is cool, as it keeps the cemetery quieter.

What a experience when we walked around the cemetery among so many graves…..so much history, which keep reminding us don’t forget the past and learn from the past…..The cemetery is very close to the National Military Park visitor center and museum, an easy two minutes drive. There is a parking lot right across the street from the entrance of the cemetery, no vehicles are allowed in the cemetery.

Although there are many monuments, there are none that clearly identify where exactly Lincoln gave his timeless Gettysburg Address. Who would no since there are no pictures or vids? No matter! If you listen closely, you can almost hear the speech whispering in the wind. Walking among the graves of fine soldiers is a solemn and humbling experience. I’m honored to have visited. I highly recommend going and giving your children a somber learning experience.

Great Cemetery loaded with monuments and history. Definitely worth a stop. November 1863 Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address just a short distance from this location. The Gettysburg Address monument and the Soldiers Monument are two main attractions in the Cemetery although you'll also have thr graves of over 3500 union soldiers and Jenny Wade.

National Park Service Museum and Visitor Center, 1195 Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg, PA 17325, USA

First visit to this nature park and we enjoyed the nature walk.It was a very slow day on sunday very few people.Lake is somewhat small, they do have boats but I guess it was closed at this time in Mid september.As the park suggest to wear shoes for avoiding Snake bite on trail, so be careful.Rest a good picnic spot or for camperes.Restrooms are maintained well.Respect the mother nature and enjoy a great view.

We stopped by on a Monday morning in early spring. There were a few cars at the parking lot but we didn't encounter anyone along the way. It was a short and easy stroll from the carpark to the viewing platforms. We decided not to take the cliff trail as it was rocky and not everyone was wearing hiking shoes.

I recently visited Cunningham Falls State Park, and I had a fantastic experience exploring the campsite, trails, and lake.Campsite:The campsite was well-maintained and offered a peaceful environment. The facilities were clean, and the surrounding forest provided a sense of privacy and connection to nature. The Bathroom could have been kept even more cleaner as that was on weekends.Trail:The trails from the Campsite leading to Cunningham Falls were enjoyable, with varying levels of difficulty to suit different hiking preferences. The paths were well-marked, making it easy to navigate, and the views along the way were rewarding, especially as you approach the waterfall.Lake:The lake area was a highlight for me. It’s a beautiful spot to relax, swim, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings. The water was clear, and the beach area was a great place to spend the afternoon.Overall, Cunningham Falls State Park is a great destination for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. My kids enjoyed the Trial and Lake so much. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or spending time by the lake, there’s something for everyone. I’d definitely recommend it for a weekend getaway or a day trip. Note that the campsite, Trial and Lake are not pet friendly.

Great campground. Cleanly maintained showerhouses. Nice individual sites, some with electric, some without. There is a camp store if you forget anything but it was closed for most of our visit.Gives you access to the lake, hiking paths, falls, and quick drive to the town of Thurmont for stores, supplies and ice cream.**quick tip: the beach by the lake gets VERY busy in the summer time on a weekend. If you can manage to go on a weekday you’ll have a much more relaxing experience.

A lovely campsite with lots of little things to do during the day. Campgrounds were nice and the individual sites were level and made it easy to set up tents. Bathrooms were clean and the showers had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The actual waterfall was a little underwhelming, but the lake beach was nice, and there were lots of nice trail options (short and easy trails, longer and more difficult ones, etc.). Had a great time there and will definitely come back.

Great spot for families especially with children. There’s a beach and a playground and a grassy area and picnic tables and bathrooms. The hiking is ok and all over just an ok spot because the water is a little bit smelly and the trails are not far enough away from the highway, so it doesn’t feel as serene. The sound of the semi trucks going down the hill kind of takes away from the vibe. The one benefit of it being so close to the road however is there is an accessible parking lot with an accessible trail to see the waterfall…that is really cool. But the waterfall itself is pretty disappointing, as is the lake. You can swim in the lake if you’re ok with the smell and there are showers. You can’t swim in the waterfall/watering hole (well, I guess you could but you aren’t supposed to according to the signs). But pretty good amenities overall. There was no one at the station when we got here, so not sure how much it typically costs because we got in for free lol. Seems like there’s big events here with the aggressive amount of parking lots.Overall solid spot, but I wouldn’t go back, but you can have a good time there!

Lots of great trails for hikers of all levels. There are also handicap parking/trail access areas. There is also a beach/lake area for boating and swimming.Note that due to a lack of rain/snow the 2023 water levels are very low.

Wonderful experience! Was happy to pay the nominal $5 entry fee.Oh, BTW, you get access to the beach and swimming privileges too. You can also rent kayaks. Great fun and games.

Very nice, quiet and many areas to hike. Bathrooms, handicap parking, nature house with turtles and wildlife. Very Very lovely place to visit.

Large park divided into two areas, both of which could easily stand on their own. The falls side, features a 78 ft cascading waterfall and a 43 acre lake complete with swimming area that is monitored by lifeguards during the summer. Tons of picnicking areas with grills, beautiful rock filled trails, a nature center, and a nice bathrooms. The manor side features the ruins of an old brick home and a furnace, a place where they made iron. There are several signs for historical interpretation and some well marked short trails that provide a couple hundred years of history from many aspects. This place is great - well worth the 5$ entry fee.

This is a nice state park to visit. Roads are good, narrower in camping loops. Campsite pads are well thought out. Bathhouse was clean and taken care of. The dump station was all that a dump station should be 👍We stayed in the Addison Loop.There are two beach areas which were well attended. Trails vary in difficulty which are mentioned in the brochure and very well marked. The Falls were a little disappointing due to lack of rain, but with a good rainfall would be lovely.

I read an article entitled "Eight places in Maryland you need to visit" which listed Cunningham Falls State Park. It did not disappoint! Although I never found the Falls it was a perfect day. Even the weather cooperated, there was a respite from the typical late August humidity and temperatures.The beach was not crowded at all. There's an area not far from the beach (walking distance) where families were grilling. And the mountain views were absolutely gorgeous!

Great place to go hike with some cool views. The waterfall is only about a 10 minute walk from the parking. You can complete the loop in less than an hour. Highly recommend when you just wanna get away. Very quite and well maintained.

This is a beautiful location to do some hiking and/or enjoy a day along the lake for a swim, kayak or boating. Picnic tables and benches are available in multiple locations along with restrooms. There's also a small nature center but check hours of operation if interested. Hiking trails are well marked. In particular, the trail to the falls is well worn and overall an easy walk. There is also easy entrance and access for the disabled and elderly. Great spot for families . More challenging trails are available. We attended the maple syrup festival here in March. Pancakes, live music, one setup of boiling the syrup and small tractor with small wagon available for rides. Found the event a bit disappointing with no other interactives or vendors present. However, it was a beautiful day and the falls and trails made up for it. In addition there are other interesting things to do in the area. Definitely worth visiting. Be sure to check for operating hours ahead of time.

Nice playground. Beautiful hiking trails. Scenic views and a decent man made lake. I look forward to my next visit and seeing the waterfalls.

Perfect swimming hole, especially for young children since it's shallow and they have ropes to separate different depths. It's so beautiful out here just water and the mountains and the perfect place to disconnect since none of the family had cell service the entire trip. Believe it or not the kids didn't loose their minds not having service and thats how you know we all had a great time! Lol definitely recommend but plan on arriving early as they do fill to capacity. They have beautiful picnic areas and surprisingly clean bathrooms. The north side has a concession stand we all had funnel cake fries they were absolutely delicious they also have a playground but we were too busy fish watching in the water! They have kayak rentals as well we just didn't get a chance to check that out definitely next time

It is nice and it's not crowded like other places.You can hike, walk in the trails,enjoy the beach or enjoy the falls.

Amazing trails and perfect for beginners. Well kept path ways and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this park, one of the best nature trails I've been on!

My family and I love camping here. We always tent camp in Bear loop and it’s kid friendly with climbing rocks, a good loop for bikes/scooters. Wine berries are ripe for the picking in July. The beach and playground are great for the summer days. Just be sure to get there before noon or it fills up and they turn folks away! Hiking trail to the falls is short, sweet, beautiful and fun for everyone.

Really love this location. Im always here photographing engagement and proposals. Lots to do. So much scenery. Lots of places to eat and take great photographs. ig@jsasuphotography

Frederick has a scenic downtown which is entirely walk-able, and my pictures will show the typical sights. Enjoy being there...lots of shops and places to eat.

Been there for the fire in ice carnival. Colorful and neatly organized. Lots of entertainment on the street and crowd bustling. Nice little carnival kinda fun.

Awesome events, always a good time!! Great to see all the activities planned for Frederick!!

I used to live in downtown Frederick. Great little town! I visit at least twice a month to see mom and to pick up my packages which I can't have delivered to Baltimore due to the increase in porch pirates. I moved to Baltimore City for work but I'll be leaving very soon again for work.Frederick was also where I sold two of my paintings.Frederick is a wonderful place to live when you want the convenience of urban living but not necessarily the dirty, crime ridden parts of real urban living.

one of my most favorite places! I travel a lot and I'm always looking to find something like this to visit in other cities. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of places like this, we are very lucky to have it here in Maryland. By day you can take your children and find something to do and buy night you can have adult fun in the bars and restaurants.

Clean downtown. Feels safe to wander.

Wonderful day doing Scavanger hunt last Saturday. Shop owner's were happy to have us visit. Old Mother and Rockwell breweries were very accommodating for many people. Good show Frederick.

Nice place to pick up some good deals on brands you know & like/love.

The best outlet store in Northern Virginia! I’m a fan of their Salvatore Ferragamo, Marc Jacobs, Burberry & Tory Burch. These are my go to shops that you can’t find it at nearby outlet. They have outdoor area for the kids.

Nice place with lots of discount. They also have a food court

This is a good place for shopping especially during sales like Labor Day or holidays. The offers are good and the stores are well stocked. We have always found what we need and in the colors we prefer. The food court gets a little dirty due to high footfall and so we prefer eating out than in the outlet. Also, parking is huge, mark the place you’ve parked to ensure you can get back - you’ll always find families searching for cars here as there are no numbers on light poles 😝

Leesburg Premium Outlets is a shopper's paradise! The variety of stores, great discounts, and clean, well-organized layout make it a go-to destination. Plenty of parking and dining options enhance the experience. Highly recommend for bargain hunters and brand lovers alike!

Really great place to go shopping. I really like the different stores they have here and if your going in the summer time much of the area you will be walking is covered and that is nice. Just a great selection of stores and a really nice food court. Well worth the drive there to check it out.

Had a decent time at Leesburg Premium Outlets, despite the rain dampening our plans. ☔🛍️ The outlet stores offered a good variety of brands, and the discounts were attractive. However, the limited number of restrooms was quite inconvenient, and both were out of order for water refills. It would have been more enjoyable if there were more restroom facilities available, especially during inclement weather. Nonetheless, the attentive staff and some indoor areas helped salvage the day. Hoping for better facilities in the future! 🛒🏬 #LeesburgOutlets #ShoppingDay #RainyWeather #LimitedRestrooms #AttentiveStaff #ShoppingSpree #FourStarReview"

Great collections, good quality materials. Awesome deals and offers. Definitely a day is needed to pack all the stuff.

Good deals! Make sure you check online as you are buying. Some items had a better offer online than at the store. they also have a playground for the kids. The stores open around 10 am but some don't open until 11 am. There is a great Restoration Hardware store at Leesburg Outlet!

Excellently landscaped and maintained! I love how they have lane in the middle that caters to differently abled and parents with strollers. I was surprised on how clean the restroom was on a very busy day. Excellent job!

Visiting Leesburg Outlets on Black Friday was as expected packed with cars seeking parking and long lines. Managed to geta smoothie from the Food Court and also able to get a few items before returning.

Absolutely love this outlet. Every store you can imagine is located here. There are always sales, and great deals. I always find what I’m looking for. It’s big, but not too big that you’ll get tired of walking around.

Me and my family go here often. We stick to the stores we usually like but they often have good sales, you don't even have to wait for a holiday usually. It's got a good variety of stores that anyone can find something that interests them. Over the summer a few stores had issues with their AC and had to close early and the walkways are outside so be aware of the weather before going shopping. But overall I prefer here to the Dulles Mall before it has better deals!

Premium outlets, have all brands for shopping’s.

It was one of the best outlets I have visited. There are plenty of great stores to shop at, and prices are reasonable. Take a visit and you will see.

Leesburg Premium Outlets is one of my favorite shopping destinations. The mall offers a fantastic selection of stores, from high-end brands to more affordable options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The layout is easy to navigate, and the outdoor setting makes for a pleasant shopping experience. The deals are impressive, and I always find great bargains. Additionally, the food court provides a nice variety of dining options for when you need a break. Overall, it's a great place to spend the day shopping and enjoying the atmosphere. Highly recommended!

"Leesburg Premium Outlet is a shopper's paradise! The outlet offers a vast selection of top brands at discounted prices. The layout is convenient, and the staff is helpful. With its variety, savings, and enjoyable shopping experience, it's a must-visit for fashion enthusiasts. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

My family and I have been coming to this outlet mall for years, and we still love everything about it. The indoor Cafe with a few different options to choose from for lunch, and several outlet stores to shop at for our family. Love being able to walk outdoors during the warmer weather and shop.

This was my first time visiting the Leesburg premium outlet. This is a Simon outlet property very different from the Tangier outlet property in National Harbor. This outlet had more luxury stores. However, I had seen on a previous review that this outlet also had a Gucci store however, there is no Gucci store at this outlet. The only luxury stores this outlet has to offer is Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Restoration Hardware. I visited the Marc Jacobs store, which was primarily handbags and accessories. I was told that the top handle Marc Jacobs tote and straps and perfumes were the only items in the store that did not offer discounts. The Marc Jacobs tote at their stores are the canvas ones not the leather ones. This outlet also offers your customary outlet stores such as Coach, Michael Kors, the Gap, Old Navy, and sports stores, like Nike, Reeboks, and a Ascics. I didn’t like the Nike store only because the women’s section was very very small and didn’t have much variety. The men’s section was probably the largest that I have seen in a Nike outlet and there were plenty of kids items in the store but definitely disappointing that there was not enough Items for women such as T-shirts, more casual clothes or even not enough variety of workout clothes. Even though it wasn’t in the store directory there is a Bath and Body Works store at this outlet. Not all stores at this outlet are “outlet” stores meaning they are not all year around discounted items. Overall, I thought it was a very nice outlet. It was clean. I went on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded at all. I found the employees in the stores were very pleasant and I didn’t feel not seen or rushed. I lived in Orlando for eight years and this outlet, though not as big as the outlets in Orlando, I thought were on par with other Simon outlets I visited in Florida. The store that I was the most impressed with was the DKNY store because it had a variety of clothing items such as dresses, casual clothing, shoes and accessories that you just don’t see anywhere not even what you see in big department stores. I felt the discounts were generous. If you are in the military or a veteran, and you have documentation make sure you show it at the stores to get veterans and military discount. It varies store to store on how much the discount is and the stores that offer it will have a decal in the windows. I didn’t go to the food court but there are restaurants close to the outlets. It was quite a drive from Alexandria to Leesburg so I don’t know if I’ll visit again anytime soon. But I enjoyed my time there.

This is one of the biggest outlets malls I have been to. Very easy to find the stores with maps at entrances. Doesn’t go in circles like some of the outlet malls. The entire mall is clean and well taken care of including the bathrooms. Plenty of high quality stores like Under Armour, Nike, Vineyard Vines, etc. There is a battery charging station for your car while you wait. The food court is not the best. Nothing wrong with the choices, it’s the amount of choices. Luckily there are a few fast food restaurants close by if you can’t find something you like.

This was a good place to visit. They had a lot of stores and some high-end stores as well. I think it is a little better than Potomac Mills but it is far away from where I live. I may go back one day.
