34 Best Stops Between Wellsboro and Philadelphia (2025)

We had a wonderful time at the Community Arts Center where we saw ZZ Top. The ushers were very helpful and friendly. This venue holds around 2000 and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The acoustics were great and there is lots of parking nearby. And by the way...ZZ Top was fantastic.

Have seen several shows here. Nice location easy in and out... I always try for row A better leg room and comfortable seats.

Easy to find, people at the venue are very helpful and friendly. Parking was difficult to find. Had to park several blocks away. Which would have been nice if it wasn’t one of those rainy days. Many small eateries surround the venue but a good suggestion if you are going to eat prior to a show to get reservations. Went to see Casting Crowns for their 20th anniversary. The size of the venue made for a very personable experience. Good sound, a very enjoyable time!

Uptown Music Collective did an amazing job with Pink Floyd! Great show, the venue was everything it needed to be

Old Crow Medicine is still just as epic as I remember! Amazing musicians that have perfected the art of an incredible stage performance thru and thru! 🤯🤯🤯🤠🥳

I went here for the first time ever and saw Michael W. Smith in concert. It was a fantastic performance! The staff was very friendly and helpful and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. The seating was comfortable, and the lighting was perfect, as was the audio. It was easy in and out. Parking was just a short walk from the center and allowed us enough time to eat before the show and attend the show. There were plenty of restaurants in walking distance of the center. It is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever attended. I would highly recommend it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I anticipated what the venue would look like before I arrived. Saw the Beatles tribute band Rain, always put on a great show. Reminds me of the Clemens center in Elmira. It's adequate for it's purpose

Beautiful theatre and comfy seats. The ceiling was gorgeous too. The sound system was clear and loud enough to hear a pin drop.

This is one of the best venues I have ever seen a live band in. The old style decor is just incredibly ornate and you even find yourself just looking all around at the walls and ceilings at the beauty of it. They have a really nice lounge for some drinks before the show and you can even sit outside at the lounge. The acoustics are fantastic and I recommend everyone go see a live band/show at the Community Art Center!

Always a treat to come to an event here! Wonderful staff, and the building is gorgeous.

Its a very nice venue, comfortable seats. Acoustics were amazing, beautiful building. Easy to find, lots of parking. Staff was wonderful and helpful.

Beautifully restored theater! The Nutcracker was fantastic!

Absolutely gorgeous theater! We sat in the loge for a children’s show and it was a great view. The architecture is breathtaking and the sound was great. There were a few snack bars and I was expected prices to be high, but I was pleasantly surprised. Bottle of water, kids juice box, bag of Swedish fish and a bag of Combos cost me $8. Only $8! Staff were friendly. Restrooms were clean. Parking available a block away in a paid lot. As a bonus, it’s in a neighborhood with several restaurants and a brewery. Can’t wait to go back!

There are no words in the human vernacular that are sufficient to describe the atmosphere and energy of the CAC. The decor is vibrant, the acoustics are astounding, and the stage presentation is ethereal. Every member of the staff is accommodating, cordial and perfectly pleasant. The musical lineups that are scheduled are incredible, and their dedication to showcase such talent is unmatched. The drinks flow like the majestic Susquehanna that runs through the beautiful city while the bands serenade the theater full of patrons with magical melodies. This is the greatest venue outside of Philadelphia - the vibes are immaculate.

Went to see Arlo Guthrie & his daughter Sarah. Excellent! The volunteer staff are very friendly and helpful. 7/8/2022 Today saw a local production of Chicago the Musical. The cast was professional & energetic. They really brought it! The volunteers are still friendly & helpful. Always a good time at the CAC 11/21/2033 Still a great venue. This time Dark Star Orchestra. 4/30/2024 Saw the Four Tops & The Temptations. Love that CAC brought these legendary groups to their venue.

Great Micheal W. Smith concert! My grand kids and I had a great 👍 time!

My daughter and I attended the Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit show on February 21st. The venue was beautiful, the refreshments were a great price, and your staff was friendly and helpful, especially the blonde woman who used a cane. She told us all about the center's history. Our two hour drive was well worth it, and we will definitely be attending more shows here!!

An old movie palace revived as a beautiful venue for theater and music. We watched the travelling production of The Book of Mormon. Delightful. Plenty of restaurants for dinner before the show. Good crowd management. Polite and helpful volunteer staff. My only complaint was the sound system, not always clear even to my non-hearing- impaired family. It needs an update that accommodates headphones the way I normally experience in Philadelphia theaters. Everyone would benefit.

Saw the Guns & Roses Tribute band. The musicians were awesome. It was a crazy night but vocals were so poor. I know this is heavy rock but a voice should at least be heard whether it’s a scream or words. The portable mic was not working. We sat in row B and didn’t hear him. We heard him slightly when he sang patience. Poor sound.

Fun old school intimate theater. Saw a wonderful music collective. The sound was very good, and you can get refreshments there.

Great venue to see a show. Located right in the heart of downtown Williamsport.The upper level seats have pretty limited leg room, but otherwise everything is top notch.

Beautiful venue to see a concert, but the seats were soon close together front to back. I had to sit side saddle just so I could sit somewhat comfortably.

The sound for the wood brothers concert was incredible. This theater is beautiful 😍❤️

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

My experience at this place was good, I like everything here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The cherry blossoms on the academic quad are really something to see during mid-April!

One Dent Dr, Lewisburg, PA 17837, USA

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

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

Very nice State Park. Natural waterfall trails are very steep and slippery. Wear the proper footwear and be in good physical shape to do the trails. Stayed in the campground on the small loop, and while very exposed and by the road, it was much quieter than I thought it would be, especially during quiet hours. Lake Jean is a great lake to paddle or fish. Clean, not overly crowded, at least when I went. Stores fairly close by for food and fuel. Showers and bathroom cleaned everyday. Heated showers are not exactly what you get. Sometimes, it's warmish water, mostly cold the whole time. If you have a camper with a shower, I'd do it there. Last but not least is the night sky. Absolutely amazing stars! It's very dark at night and very little light pollution makes for some great stargazing!! Get out and enjoy!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We did the Falls Trail. This trail is more difficult than All Trails suggests. It is rocky, and quite steep in places and the rock can be wet and slippery. Good hiking boots are recommended as well as trekking poles. Pay close attention to each step. You will be rewarded with views of waterfalls and greenery that are absolutely beautiful.The restrooms were not very well kept.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are no mosquitoes at all! The waterfall path is easy. I read the reviews and got scared at first. Tula walk SM children in small children for 3 years. And they walk with their feet. people in crocs, flip-flops... awesome . 98 Don't take a place. right in front of the toilet. The door slams there.

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

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

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

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

Born and raised nearby. Took our kids there and now our grandchildren. Great rides and just lots of fun. Whether it's going on rides or just walking around, it's a great place to have fun and relax...Wish they would stay open like they used to. Loved walking around at night when all the lights were on. The rides looked really cool at night...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This park never let's us down! Our family has gone for the last 3 years and we are always so happy with the experience. The lines are reasonable, the kids options are plenty, the food is good and not ridiculously priced (higher than if you weren't in an amusement park, but reasonable), the staff is great, the rides are fun and safe. I am so grateful for Knoebels! They give us an afforable option for a great day of fun with our kids!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Super easy to access. Lots of pavilions to rest and eat. The best part is, you don't have to buy tickets to enter or buy an individual day pass to enjoy unlimited rides. You dont have to pay if you are not going to enjoy any rides. Just buy tickets to enter the park.Bring your own food and beverages to eat out there. There are lots of food places to eat at the park.There are no parking fees either. It's very reasonable with lots of rides for all ages.Highly recommend.

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

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

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

This summer marked my first time going to Knoebels amusement park and it’s definitely somewhere I would go back to. With 3+ large roller coasters, games, and a variety of fun rides, this local amusement park is absolutely worth a visit. The park is clean, food is fairly priced with surprisingly decent pizza and many sweet treats available for purchase. Knoebels is a free admission amusement park where guests pay per ride using tickets or wristbands. The larger rides like roller coasters and the log ride are about $5 per person and even on a 4th of July weekend, the lines for each ride were surprisingly fast moving, ranging from a 20 minute wait to none at all. My group was able to ride some of the more popular attractions multiple times which was a huge plus. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area and looking for a fun & budget friendly day activity!

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

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

Fantastic fun for everyone! This is a Dog friendly environment. The staff is courteous and helpful. The rides are great and reasonably priced. This is one of my favorite old-school amusement parks. If you're thinking of going but never have, it's highly recommended.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Always a great place to go. Better on wrist band days instead of paying for the rides individually on the weekends. Great old rides. You can find food that's decently priced and good.

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

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

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

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

If you are in Bloomsburg it is a must. Everyone no matter your age or your interests will enjoy this place!

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

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

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

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

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

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

While vacationing in Cedar Run, PA, we stumbled upon Bill's Old Bike Barn, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. This hidden gem boasts an extensive and impressive collection that goes far beyond motorcycles. The museum features fascinating displays of Coca-Cola memorabilia, police and fire equipment, Campbell's Soup memorabilia, vintage phones, dolls, toys, and much more.We had the pleasure of meeting Bill himself, whose passion and knowledge for his collection truly enhanced our visit. The entire experience was incredibly engaging, and the fact that it took us over two hours to tour the entire building is a testament to the sheer volume and variety of items on display.To enrich our visit, we were provided with a recording device that offered detailed narrations about the different collections. This thoughtful touch made the tour even more informative and enjoyable.I highly recommend visiting Bill's Old Bike Barn if you find yourself in the area—it's a fascinating and well-curated museum that provides a unique glimpse into a vast array of interests and historical artifacts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rooms are very clean and fresh feeling. For what you pay for the convenience to stay here plus the resort fee I think they should supply a microwave and a continental breakfast. The only nice thing about this hotel is that it’s convenient to the casino, Restaurants and race track. The drinks are still free while you gamble. You can drink and stumble back to your room. Honestly if it were not for that perk I would stay somewhere else. No pool, No Microwave, No nice views, Very small fridge

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All in all we had a good time.Hotel room was clean but small. When we asked the front desk how late the tables would be open until, he didn't seem to know the answer. But they were very nice.Sushi restaurant was really very bad.Security was courteous and just about the friendliest people there. Some of the dealers were straight fire (shoutout to you Lori on roulette!)Sean at the craps table (sat 8/10 2am) came and completely iced over our party when he took over. I was already down to my last $40 so figured I'd just throw it down. Sean cleared my money along with a bet from the previous hand. I asked as kindly as humanly possible if I could get my $40 back and he said "I didn't do anything". I asked a second time stating that it was my first time playing craps and I got the timing wrong. Still nothing.I witnessed him ask my friend for money back after realizing he messed up his change. So needless to say I wont be going back to this casino. We're not high rollers, but we all dropped some solid coin to be there and to be borderline robbed of a very small amount of money. I get that we all have a bad day once in a while, but at the end of the day you want guests to have fun. So bad on ya for letting your mood interfere with your job, Sean.

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

We had a two night stay booked at this hotel. This review is based on service and rooms. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The first room we were assigned, had a strong mildew, musk smell and it was a non-Smoking room. They changed our room. The 2nd room we ended up leaving at 3:30am the first night, due to bed bugs found in our two queen room. We immediately just checked out early. I tried to ask for the resort fee back, but they still have yet to have manager contact me in regards to this. Rooms are with foul odor and worse of all bed bugs!! The manager that assisted with first room change was ok. But the overnight front desk rep just stated that she would allow early check out. When I asked for compensation for the resort fee and account hold, she was states, well that has to go to our director who is not in till the daytime. She took down my contact information. We literally cut our trip short. I am trying to file a complaint for compensation through vendor I booked through, but they were only able to leave a voicemail for manager! What a terrible customer service experience as well. Would never return to this place!

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

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

Eh, not the worst but certainly not the best. Room wasn't great - A/C didn't work so the room was pretty unbearable. It was clean, though. The staff were friendly. Not worth $300+ a night. The casino is pretty bland. They ID anyone that looks under 50 from what I could tell. And they have to take your ID and snap your photo each and every time. Pretty weird. No other casino does that, that I'm aware of. Slots don't pay out much. Poker room was mediocre - rake is high and a fight broke out when I played. Food options inside the casino are weak. Had to eat Johnny Rockets for a quick meal. Other options are pizza, subs, etc. I tried a sub, it wasn't worth the price. There are fancier places - steak, sushi, etc. I ended up going off site to Chipotle. The workout room doesnt have much, but at least they have something. There's is no pool that I'm aware of. Definitely better casinos around if you're looking for more of an experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Step into a bygone era at Steamtown National Museum. This captivating museum brings the golden age of railroads to life. You might first notice the impressive locomotives. Then you want to explore all the interactive exhibits. Take to the train for a nice ride. It's a must-visit for history buffs and train enthusiasts alike. Hours of learning and fun.

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

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

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

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

Well presented historical displays, the amount of care that goes into restoring and presenting these locomotives is unbelievable. The Rangers were engaging and informed. The museum presentation is very interesting, presents a slice in time of the Gilded Age and the way workers were (not) valued. Ample parking and no cost to enter

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

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

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

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

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

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

The park was fascinating! I didn't know much about locomotives prior, but the signs and the tours are so thorough. You won't be upset by a visit here.The grass on the sides are dog friendly in case you bring your furry family member.

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

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

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

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

Wow this place is awesome. Right across from the Electric Trolly museum! You gotta go to both places. Basically this place has a ton (literally) of steam locomotives; everything from 1900s style semi trucks called Switching trucks that move other trains around using steam to an actual Big Boy which weights 3,000,000 lbs. They have a huge 44 bay switching wheel station, an 1800s maintenance bit, an oil house….and a ton of other cool trains and steam engines. Well worth your time if you like giant massive steel and iron giants.

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

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

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

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

For RR lovers this was a great experience. Awesome museum loads if static displays and an opportunity to ride a steam train. The only downside is the length of ride but it doesn't change the experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great place, especially if you like trains. It's great for adults and kids. Lots of old trains to see, inside and outside. Highly recommend

350 Cliff St, Scranton, PA 18503, USA

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

We went right after a storm and it was so worth the risk. The paths are well kept so the rock stairs are flat and pretty level. There’s also roots to walk on around the paths that made it easy to avoid slipping! We parked at the bottom of the road, when you pull up there might be construction if you’re trying to turn left down the road so you’ll have to go around and come from the opposite direction. There’s 3 places that look like you can park, the first is no parking, there’s another parking lot that take you to a waterfall but we hadn’t gone yet. But there’s a web of paths to take at the bottom, any direction is beautiful! We found soooo many mushrooms and species of fungus!

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

Seven tubs is absolutely splendid. I've gone there twice now. The first time, it was still icy out, which made for beautiful pictures. My 2nd visit was recent, and I hiked with friends, but also came to find out you can swim there as well!! Talk about crazy fun! My friends and I are planning another trip there again soon.

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

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

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

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

Nice small nature trail. Some steep, slippey areas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We stopped here along a road trip and it was a great decision. Pretty views and great to stretch your legs. We got to see: sculpted turtles, a treehouse, waterfall, gorge, covered pedestrian bridge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

While most of the park and the museum, are beautiful, the playground is a dangerous, disgusting, disaster. One slide has a huge drop off to the ground. One of the "accessible" swings is so hi, that only a very tall, able bodied adult would be able to use it. Some boards have fallen and just lay on the ground. Posts where pieces have been removed are sticking out of the ground. Rails are coming off and exposed nails are sticking out through out the structure. The graffiti that is very sexual should be removed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE. We would have loved to explore more of the park, and if it were just my husband and I, it would have been okay. But the broken glass all over the trails left us no choice but to cut our visit short out of fear our dog would cut his paws. If you have dogs or young children I just don't think it's safe to hike the trails.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had a great tour today with Daryl and his grandson sidekick Owen! Daryl is a 5th generation coal miner with a TON of expertise in the subject. He answered everyone’s questions with detail. We got there a little early and explored the museum for a bit. Then we were led down to the carts that Owen steered that carried us into the mountain (which were VERY loud but fun). One of the women who was with our tour group felt sick, and the guides immediately worked to get her back. Great people! Worth the trip there!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Family of three found out about this while visiting Jim Thorpe so we decided to hit it on the way back home. Wow. The history and importance of coal in America is highlighted as its continued importance (for more than just fuel) today. I cannot imagine having lived a life that required 10 hours in the mine, six days a weekOur guide, Zach, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This tour is authentic. You may get wet, bump your head and yes, it is cold down there.Takes. Little over an hour but arrive early or plan to stay after so you can check out the museum and watch a cool movie about the history of this important era that fueled the Industrial Revolution.This is a must visit.

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

Our guide Darryl is a 5th generation miner with real experience history and respect for the Labor Movement and sacrifice these men and child laborers put forth I came away highly impressed and an even prouder Irish American

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Absolutely awesome local history attraction. It’s unique, fun and worth every bit of $12. Not to mention, incredibly well priced for the amount of time you get to spend on this museum ride and walking tour.Our tour guide Daryl did a great job. He shares his family experiences as a multi-generational miner himself which was equally as informational as the tour was fun.This tour is ideal for all ages and even welcomes Fido along for the ride.Be sure to bring a sweatshirt along and some extra cash at the end for your guides.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What a beautiful place! We were camping down the road and we so happy to find this place. The visitors center is absolutely amazing! It has a huge room full of educational interactive displays that showcase the nature and wildlife that live in different parts of Hickory Run State Park. We walked part of Shades of Death trail down to the river. The best was Hawks Falls. It was a little less than a mile to get from the trailhead to the falls, which was absolutely gorgeous! (Unfortunately, Lots of signs posted to stay on the trail and not go into the water.) It was a very scenic hike.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We visited Hickory Run State Run during our trip to the Poconos and there’s so much to do here! We did the Shades of Death trail, along with visiting Boulder Field and the nearby beach. Everything was clean and well kept. Pay attention to the color markings on the trees and follow the signs! The visitor center is very useful! Although we were unable to visit other parts of the park, it’s definitely a place to add to your Poconos bucket list!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hickory Run State Park is a beautiful park with an outstanding visitors' center. Well-designed, interactive displays depict some of the history and wildlife of the area.The hike to Hawk Falls was an out and back mostly shaded trail and well worth it to see the beautiful falls.

3 Family Camp Rd, White Haven, PA 18661, USA

1 list

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DO NOT STAY HERE! We didn’t even get to our room and had to call the police to get a refund because there is no manager on site and no one willing to come from an office to speak about our concerns. The outside pool was green with overgrown grass. The water park was supposed to open at noon at 2pm still not open. Then we were told only half the water park was open, slides closed. Ice machines had no ice. The indoor pool was cloudy, with no towels in site to use. The game room, many games not working. There were many people in the lobby complaining about their rooms. One lady reported she had already moved rooms for the new room shower door to fall off. Don’t even waste your time coming to this resort.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My son and I had an amazing time here our tour guide Jessica was absolutely great, and she was really good with my son and he was nervous and scared. It was a little annoying. There was a group of people that took an extra extra long time, but she did take her time to take care of each one of those people which was great for them that kind of stuff for the rest of us having to wait, but it was nice that she cared about everyone. Overall, it was a great experience. It’s a lot of fun. We just had to teach treetop adventure tour. Zip lining long games enjoyed walking around the lake a little bit and the hotel is really nice.Definitely an enjoyable experience for the kids, even for adults who have a moderate fear of heights. This is manageable not very high and a good time.There were a couple questionable obstacles that need a little bit of attention as a woodworker and craftsman builder. I included one such picture, but nothing was in enough damage to cause any issue.

Awesome staff, but I have to give this a low rating, because the slopes are not snowboard friendly. Got bruised up trying to take the lift all types of ways, but unfortunately wasn’t able to get up there. Had to walk up the slopes several times and strap in.Wish there were some sort of handles at least on the pole you grab for it to take you up. Hopefully that can change soon! Would love to shred up there.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun! We did the 1/2 course Tree Top Adventure with ziplines. Has such a blast going through the courses. Out guide Jamie was the best. Agile and informative. Will definitely go back.

Do not go here for the treetop adventure. 16 people for 1 guide and they say that’s the normal ratio. Didn’t even finish the course. And yet got a bad attitude from the desk staff. Guide Francis was nice. But just ridiculous to spend so much and get short-changed. Rarely leave reviews but had to in this case. Feel robbed…

Great price for sbow tubing especially on a Major Holiday. Me and my family enjoyed snow tubing for our Pocono Christmas get away. It was a great experience only down fall is they aren't as high tech as other snow tube places such as blue lighting. You are pulled up hill by a pully system which requires you to tuck and roll out of tube once you get up the hill. After a certain age tucking in rolling in snow will leave u in pain. Lol all the adults definitely are sore after but it was definitely fun.

We did the zipline and the treetop courses. Both were amazing experiences. Dan was our guide the first day for the zipline course, he was very engaging, professional and helpful. The second day Jamie (I believe that's her name) was our guide for the treetop course. This young lady is the pure definition of service. She was very professional yet friendly, explained everything in a way that was easy to follow for first timers, has more patience than anyone I've ever met, and even though it was a large group of people she called EVERYBODY by name even though we all just said our names one time in the beginning. That detail alone sold us on wanting to come back.The adventure itself was unforgettable. For anyone reading this and looking to do this for the first time we definitely recommend you do the zipline first, then the tree course second (if you're looking to do both).

Awesome time zip lining with fam and friends; Francis did an amazing job as our guide- he was friendly, welcoming and professional! Thank you!!!

Had a wonderful time running the full treetop course here. My friend and I were the only ones as it was a Monday afternoon. However the staff was so awesome, our guide Savanah was great throughout the whole course. The last part of the course was definitely hard and while I tried I could not keep up. But had a great time watching my friend finish it.I had a blast and was full of laughter and excitement.

Such a unique experience and was definitely challenging! Our guide Timmy was so sweet and knowledgeable :) We did the 4 hour Treetop climb course but it got cut short about two hours in because of rain/lightning, but the manager was very kind to give us rain checks for the full activity another time! I don’t know if this would be good for young children, with the youngest ones today being around 12-13 and the rest of the group of 10 of us being adults. Definitely a great summer activity even on a hot day the tree cover provided great shade and on the mountains it’s much cooler. It’s hard and requires core and upper body strength for sure but nonetheless, was worth it!!

An amazing experience . From right when we walked in staff was friendly and helpful. the rooms are clean and have really nice views.. and the all the activities! . It’s non stop fun and always have some kind of unique contests! The hiking trails are a must and the food is amazing !

Did the zip lining and the treetop roped course. The course was really fun and challenging, but my 10 year old and my mid 50s brother in law were able to participate. I would not recommend the course to anyone who does not regularly work out or does not see themselves to be fairly physically fit. The course attendees did not tell us this. Also the accomodations were light - no water or snacks offered. Our guide was OK, knowledgeable but heavy accent and she did a brief 3 minute safety tour and then didn't do much to support us from there. All in, great experience in the trees it's just the customer service could have been better.

Absolutely amazing, I will definitely be back to spend more time here, I had one of many awesome lodges with a great view. There are some many activities here you will not have any down time except for sleeping, activities for Kids and adults from zip lines, snow tubing, ice skating, axe throwing, sip and paint, tours of the resort. Tons of amenities from the Gym, pools, game room, restaurants yes restaurants there are 3 as well as an awesome gift shop. There is an observation tower at the top of the Main Lodge with 360 degree view of the resort amzing great pictures from that point, I can't forget about the amzing staff all around great experience thanks for a great time.

We had such an exciting experience for a 50th birthday adventure! I recommend Matt,the guide.He was so patient and when asked to take our picture,he was great about it! Will definitely be back!

Tip: bring disposable cloth gloves - save $4 per person onsite.Tip: do not go off it's getting cold - especially if you're planning on a full course (4 hrs).My kids wanted something to do so I took them to an adventure center for a rope course.They were part of a large group and unfortunately it was cold so everyone decided to cut the course short - from 4 hrs to 2 - because it was group consensus, no refund on price....so don't go if the temperature drops....The staff was nice, plenty of parking on site.Definitely a good experience if you're going in spring or summer.

Oh my goodness we had sooo much fun doing the 4 hour ropes course with Isaiah!!! What a wonderful, helpful, friendly, and supportive guide.The ropes course was definitely a lot harder than I was expecting. I’m afraid of heights and was last in our group, going a little slower than the rest, but Isaiah stayed behind and kept giving me pointers, never rushing me.I stopped once we got to the black course due to its height and challenge level but my husband kept going and he had SUCH a good time!Check in was easy and everyone working there was so professional and helpful. We really appreciate everything. Probably the highlight of our trip to the Poconos!

Rika (sp?) gave us one heck of an amazing afternoon!The team was accommodating as weather forced us to move our four-hour session from one day to the next. Rika was fantastic dealing with one of the members of our party that had trouble with heights.A must-do Poconos attraction!

Did the 4 hr course with our super helpful instructor Orlando. The checkin was quick and we started on time at 9:30 am and ended right around 1:30pm. The course was challenging and adventurous. Skip the $3 gloves and bring your own which covers the entire fingers. Your hands will thank you! Also bring water in backpack.

The actual zip lining experience was a lot of fun. My friend and I did the 4 hour option, which consists of 6 “courses” that can take less time than 4 hours if you’re with a smaller and/or faster group. The group combos are random depending on who booked that particular time. We got lucky in that our group was pretty speedy—we covered the whole thing in 3 hours.I deducted stars in my rating because of the subtle and implicit racism/bias that I experienced here (and have experienced throughout my brief time in the Poconos, unfortunately). I am traveling on vacation with a white female friend. Despite me being the more extroverted and outgoing of the two of us, the people we encounter here consistently engage, make eye contact with, and support her far more than they do me. Even though the reservation was under my name, the woman who checked us in consistently addressed questions to my friend. When we were getting buckled up into the harnesses, they did a cursory job with mine and spent way more time with the other (white) people in my group. At one point our guide, Francis, came around to do some further fixing of my friend’s harness before we started the course—mine looked the exact same as hers but he gave me a cursory look and said “you’re fine” before walking off. Both of us were stunned and I had to explicitly ask someone else (ironically the check in person) to help me. This was both embarrassing and frustrating. Francis seemed to be much less interested in engaging with and supporting me than he was with the other group members. He warmed up toward me over the course of the 3 hours out there by the harness situation really put a bad taste in both my and my friend’s mouth.I live in a highly educated, diverse, and liberal coastal city so I sometimes forget that racism is still deeply alive and well, especially in these rural parts of the country. It is such a shame on so many levels. And because the types of things that happened today are subtle forms of implicit racism/bias, if I called anyone out on it, they would outright deny it. But it’s real, it’s pervasive, and it sucks.I LOVE zip lining but I’m not sure that I will return here…or anywhere in this region for that matter. If you’re a person of color, you might be fine. Alternatively, you might have to self advocate in a way that you absolutely shouldn’t have to do.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great resort, very nice rooms, great service, very fast check in and faster checkout, rooms are very nice have all the amenities, up to date, the machines and the casino part is so nice, clean and neat.Valet service is so easy, food quality is good, but I think they can do better in the buffet section. The Italian restaurant the bisteca is a must try.Swimming pool have a great atmosphere.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This has been the worse experience of my life. Some how this resort charged me a for extra fee a few times a day for 3 days then everyday for a week after leaving. I kept getting charge non stop.while I was there Most of my time was at the front desk after seeing another charge from them and they kept telling me they did not know. I spoke to Ben the manager and he basically told me to leave. I ended up changing my card so the charges would stop. Horrible experience and horrible staff and nasty manager. If you read the other reviews you will see how many people say the same about Ben. I would never go back because those 3 days cost me way too much money and im talking about all the money they STOLE from me. I suggest you use a gift card so they wont take your money.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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 🤪

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Having shopped at The Lucky Brand store, my experience was a very pleasant one. The staff was extremely helpful, pleasant and extremely courteous. Their professionalism was second to none. Lastly, the store has a lot of great deals and a huge selection of clothing for men, women, teens and kids too.I highly recommend this establishment.

So obviously it's great to have so many awesome stores all together in one place. What isn't great is that every single time we go there, no matter what day or time, the parking lot is totally packed full of cars and busses full of people from out of state and there's literally nowhere to park and the sidewalks are usually crammed full of people! Guess it's a better tourist site than for the locals, like most other things here in PA

Great, please alot if stores to visit

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

There is a place where you can find excellent gift.Holiday Treasures

Totally ruined atmosphere. Whoever is running the place is making terrible decisions. They got rid of the big trees that provide a nice shaded area with picnic tables and a little stream. It looks terrible!!! Thanks for no shade. The bathrooms are also ALWAYS closed, and not for cleaning. Just straight up locked. This is a big mall. There needs to be restrooms!This is the Poconos, keep the trees!!

Decent selection of stores. The playground has been closed for a very long time and the grounds are fairly run down. Better off going to an actual mall.

I was in the Pocono mountain area for a mini vacation recently and stopped here because I had some free time and the locals all said it's worth checking out.It's definitely a nice little outdoor shopping center. Plenty of different store options to appeal to just about everyone.They have a couple food trucks as well as a food court which is nice.It was under construction when I went that made it a little difficult to get around but it was still enjoyable.I stopped at boxed lunch, five below, the beef jerky place, and the pepper Palace.If you are in the area it's worth stopping in to walk around for a bit. Just be ready to shop!

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

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

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

I live in a small town and there aren't a lot of shopping options, so when I really want a good shopping spree, I drive over an hour just to shop at these outlets.There are lots of good stores and a few good food options, but it should be noted that the retailers are, for the most part, full priced. If you're looking for discount shopping, this isn't probably your best option.The parking lots are located in one area and the shops are all together in a different area so depending on how many stores you want to go to, be prepared to do a lot of walking.Overall, if there are a lot of different things you need to shop for, this is a great option; you can find almost anything here.

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

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

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

I was very excited to come by and take a look. Usually we can find a lot of really great things at really great prices and an outlet... But that was not the case here. The prices were actually very expensive. I was really disappointed. I live in the city of Philadelphia, so I expected Pocono mountains have an outlet with a pretty decent discount, however, being close to so many ski resorts, I guess they can charge more. I would strongly encourage everybody to skip right over this place... It seems like a bit of a tourist trap

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

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

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

A great way to get out! The stores had a lot of good sales and it wasn’t too busy, you could spend a whole day there, there’s even an escape/mini-golf course in a little wood building, the golf was only $8 and the pizza is so yummy :)

What a place! They have HALAL food in their food court! Amazing diversity! Nike store has amazing shoe collection, the best ever possible. Usually don’t like more than 1 or 2, loved 10 this time. Close from the parking space, and 100 stores with plenty of choices to buy from. Clean and well maintained outlet stores with crazy deals!

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

Well worth a visit for some pictures taking opportunities. This remainder of past works is beautiful at many different times of the day. I caught it close to sunset which was great. It's a nice little walk around too if you need to stretch your legs. Give yourself about 45mins to an hour to take in everything. Enjoy!

We took a trip down the history lane by visiting the Steel Stacks of Bethlehem. The walkways are excellent, with benches where one may take a break, and a very nice seeing view of the PBS and event arenas downstairs. We were there at the right time, with one concert going and another one getting ready to start in about 2-3 hours. Bethlehem is a truly wonderful place to visit.Make sure you pay a visit to the Historic Bethlehem. We keep our fingers crossed the Historic Bethlehem will become a UNESCO world heritage site in the near future!

If you're a bit of a history buff, this makes for a nice outing. You can learn all about the importance of Bethlehem Steel. The exhibit is free and you can listen to an audio tour too. We made a day out of it by driving to downtown Bethlehem for a late lunch. Overall, a very nice (low key) day out.

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

The immensity of the Bethlehem Steel mill is mind-blowing. I had no idea it ran 24/7/365 days a year for decades. Happy to see the town's efforts to reclaim the area for community events. The educational signs posted on the Hoover Mason Trestle (elevated walkway) provided some insight into the mill's history and its workers. Seeing the vultures hanging out and the thriving native trees (wild and planted) were highlights.

Great venue for events! Plenty of space for parking and you can even walk around an elevated platform to see the old Steel Stacks up close. There's even an elevator for accessibility. There are community maintained gardens (great photo ops) and even informational panels around the Stacks explaining some of the history. Restrooms are centrally located, clean, indoors and plenty of stalls. Vending machines can also be found here. We enjoyed the Cars and Coffee car show event. Highly recommend a trip here for any of the fun events. We'll definitely be back.

I was at the MusikFest there and saw Train. It was such a great venue. The sound was really nice. Parked on a side street so we didn't have to wait long to leave. Lots of food was there as well. The fireworks show was very impressive

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

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

Stunning nighttime lights and a really interesting experience overall. You basically walk along a cat walk of the old steel plant and explore at your leisure. You can pier inside the buildings but you can’t wander into far due to the railing. At night they light them up in various colors and across the street there is a live music venue with stages outside. When the sun is setting it has a majestic quality on these dystopian steel stacks.

Words can not express how much we need to preserve the story of poor immigrants who came to America around 120 years ago and built America working 16 hour shifts 6 days a week for very little pay. There is a museum, walking trail, park and casino on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel Mill. Parts of the old mill are incredibly preserved, you can walk right up to it on the walkways. On a side note there are some beautiful historic church’s in south Bethlehem.

You can't get more American on July 4th than being at the Steelstacks.🇺🇲 The Bethlehem Steel Co., founded in 1857, was one of the world's largest steel producing and ship building companies. It closed after 146 years in business in 2003. It's really incredible to be able to tour the site up close and see how the steel was made. It took a lot of brave men and women to work there. Lots of events and concerts take place throughout the year. Definitely visit if you can.

Went to see AJR at Musikfest...I must say be prepared to do some walking!!! And do yourself a favor and try to find where exactly you need to be!!! The festival is HUGE!!! And I found that the majority of event staff had no clue as to how to get me where I needed to be...and some signs guiding you to different stages would be OH SO HELPFUL!!!???? And if your not a fan of heights don't walk the catwalk!!! It's like 4 stories up and down and poorly lit after dark...

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

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

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

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

Although I live in the Easton area I visited the Steel Stacks for the first time last Friday. I was amazed at the complexity & the beauty of the Stacks. It really makes you think about the effort of those that toiled there for so many years. When you think that Bethlehem Steel was used to construct the Golden Gate Bridge & our great Battleships it gives you pause. I'm adding a few photos that hopefully make you want to go on the catwalk by the Stacks.

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

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

This place has an amazing vibe. It’s spacious. The events here are great. The old machinery is so cool. It’s worth checking out at least once!

This was our first time to Bethlehem at Christmas! It was so festive and nice! Lots of Christmas crafts and great gift idea's for the whole family. Plenty of great food and drinks as well! We loved it!!

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

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

Bike friendly close to trails good food, the stacks are amazing to see in person. Highly recommend a visit. Casino next door with lots of parking

It's a BEAUTIFUL PLACE!Lots of fun for entire family!We had a good time at the peeps drop festival ,on Desember 31st!!

Came out of town for a concert and had an amazing time! We loved the outdoor venue with a mix of indoor availability, the various drink vendors, and the roominess of the place - we didn't feel cramped at all even getting close to the stage. A little gem!

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

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

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen with my own eyes. I do construction and it took my breath away.... I highly recommend taking the time to visit

First time there to see Eaglemania with Constantine Maroulis! Fabulous venue. Lots of activity, parking was easy, Christmas market was ongoing and very festive. Good viewing from any seat and sound was fantastic. Food and beverages were excellent!

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

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

101 Founders Way, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA

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.

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.

Comp drinks can’t beat that plus it pays

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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

10/10 experience here! Came here with some girlfriends and we had the best wine and even better shareables! Everyone was so kind, definitely will be making the drive back.

The Best! One of my favorite places! Everyone so nice and such a lovely relaxing place to unwind and have a Good time with friends or Family!

We were in the area and saw a sign for the vineyards and are so happy we stopped. The vineyards are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio. My husband and I each ordered a wine tasting which gave us the opportunity to try every sweet wine. Being that we are sweet and semi sweet wine drinkers we were really happy with the variety of wines offered. The young woman that helped us was very friendly! My only suggestion is a reminder to give those that are doing a tasting for the first time a list of the wines and a pencil so us wine enthusiasts can take notes. Of course we went home with a couple bottles! Unfortunately, we don't live close to the winery but now that we know what we like we will look for the wine in the future in shops. I highly recommend visiting!

We went to the tasting room on a hot Saturday afternoon. They have a lot of fruity blends. We ended up selecting some of their semi-sweet to sweet wines. Good blends for table wine. Easy on the palate. The outdoor seating was good and the live music was great. They provided great service in detailing the wines. They have their sister concern right next with some good food and I believe, hard liquor too. We had a great time.

My favorite winery in LV. They have something for everyone. Fantastic place. Love the intimate setting. They have great music, wine, and food. Friendly staff, Elaine is a strong woman, is approachable and personable- love supporting local businesses. Equally love Social Still

Visits Franklin Hill vineyard is always a great idea. Excellent service, a relax ambiance, great music, outstanding! Cheaper than therapy. 🥂😉Unforgettable experience at #franklinhillvineyards #winelovers #experience #wines #tasting #winetasting #winelover #wineinstagram #franklinhill #youhavetogo 🥂💕

This winery-vineyard is beautiful!!! I am so happy we visited as this is definitely a new local favorite.Their wines are delicious. They have a great variety from dry to sweet to flavored dessert wines. They even have some fun mixed wines for the season (pumpkin and mulled wines now for fall).They also have local beers and cocktails - so something for everyone!They also serve good snack food (more than the usual basic cheese plate). You can definitely make a meal out of it but it's not a formal meal.They have indoor seating, outdoor deck seating, covered patio seating, and even some seating near the vineyard itself!The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful - thank you Olivia!

My daughter and I went to the winery for the first time today. We were greeted by Charlie who was extremely nice and made us feel at home. It's a very cute intimate setting. They have wine flights that are generous in size. Everyone was extremely nice. The bathrooms and the place was super clean. I give this place five stars. We had a great time and will be back. Highly recommend.

This vineyard is AMAZING! The wine was great and reasonable. The owner and her staff really went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed. She came and personally greeted all of us, shared with us her life story of how she got started. Meeting the owner of this winery and hearing her story was so inspiring. Hearing her story only reassured me that we as women can do anything that we put our minds to! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back!

We had a a group of 13 celebrating our friends 30th birthday party but were turned around at the entrance simply because we were all in the same vehicle. Their policy is “no vans or limos.” We thought having one designated driver would be the responsible choice but Franklin Winery seems to think otherwise. Had we been in separate vehicles it would have been alright. Needless to say we will never think about spending a dime at this establishment in the future.

We stopped at this vineyard at our way out of town because we had gotten a free bottle at the resort we started at. We worked with Stacey and she was great. What a wonderful family friendly vineyard. Ended up with a case of carrots wines to take back to LI with us. We will definitely be back!

We had such a nice afternoon at this vineyard. The tour box was great. The tastings were so good. We had a surprise visit from "Franklin" the peacock. Great staff working here. Nice day.

Review for **Franklin Hill Vineyards**:Visited Franklin Hill Vineyards today with my husband and three other couples. The experience was truly delightful! The owner, Elaine, along with her team, were warm, welcoming, and extremely hospitable. The ambiance was relaxing and perfect for a day out with friends. As for the wine, it was simply exquisite. Each pour was a testament to their dedication to the craft of winemaking. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable winery experience. Cheers to Elaine and her dedicated team for making our visit so special!

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

Great place! One of those types of places that you can't see in a single visit!

Great octopus salad at Puerto Rico food stand . Tasty cake pies and chocolate cupcakes at discount prices. Met old friends Bonnie and her husband Barry there. Wheelchair accessible. Best Buckwheat Scrapple and Suace at RA's stand. Best ring baloney at Fredricks. Best white American cheese (keller's bread!) at Davis meats.

Decent place. The majority of people there are nice. The staff is cool. The crowd there isn't as expected though. Lately the crowd has been pretty thin. Buying intensity is down too. Way too many people walking through touching all your stuff, showing interest then dropping the items back in your table without a care and walking off or insulting you in the process for your prices, or trying to cut you in half. I get that it's a flea market, but come on, a lot of us selling there have legitimately good and high quality items we are selling. We are already taking a hit on what we are charging people, and yet they want 30-60% off more. Some of the customers are just straight up rude about it, and don't even negotiate right. I laugh and send them on their way.

This is from my hometown, this was Saturday afternoon vibes. Many stores have closed but brought back tons of memories and of course the best sticky buns in the world Flecks!!

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

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

It was great. So many things to see. My friend bought a 1966 Schwin with a shifter. So cool and completely refurbished. He is right across from Enterance #1. His name is Carl in the Barn. Great guy. If you need parts or need help with refurbishment of an old bike, he is the guy!!!! He can help and knows people who do the work too.

Pretty much anything you could imagine under the sun can be purchased here with ease. It's also an unwritten guarantee that you will find something to enjoy yourself! 🔍

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

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

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

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

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

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

I really didn’t like it. It’s not for everyone I guess. The food places didn’t seem to inviting. I tried 2 different ones and it was okay. I prefer the Allentown fair grounds. They have good food and the potato skins are the best. It’s cleaner too. Way more exciting things to buy and some really good desserts!

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

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

I get all my patches sewn on my leathers there. I bought a couple pair of chaps. Motorcycle signs. A very heavy duty pair of leather gloves for riding. They have very good quality products at lower prices than ANY vendors I know and they go out of their way to accommodate you. 100% the best

I have been coming here for years now, ever since I was a young kid and I’m so glad to see how jam packed it is every time I go. It is such a unique experience and brings with the best kind of nostalgia. There’s genuinely everything you could ever want in one building. The QMart is the place to be!

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

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

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

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

I recently saw Kick here. While the theater is on the smaller side, it is very well laid out. The acoustics in the building were very good. Like most smaller venues, the downside is you're packed in. Though that was to be expected.

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

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

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

Very nice small (345ish) venue. Employees very nice. Theater was obviously edone, but kept the original appeal. Sound was good quality. Had a great time!

Saw The Seldom Scene. I think that this concert was one of the best that I have ever been to, simply because first I was so close to the stage - every seat is the best seat in the house! Second was because The Seldom Scene was one man down because of Covid. Their fiddle player tested positive this morning and this band had to on the spot make changes to pretty much every single song without rehearsing the change. They lost their cues to come in, a lead singer, a harmonizer, a fiddle player. I laughed so hard as the improvised and laughed with each other, made mistakes and just had fun with their mistakes and the audience. We ate it up because it was so real, so personal and special to be able to witness these incredibly talented musicians be humble and human. Bluegrass at it's finest! I couldn't have asked for a better time!

This is a great place to see a show. I have been there multiple times for different shows. ENTER THE HAGGIS was excellent last night. We have seen ETH many times at Sellersville. The staff is always helpful and kind.

I see a lot of concerts and this is my favorite small venue. About 300 seats means you're up close and personal with the performers.I live about 2 hours away so I stay next door at the Washington House Hotel, which is owned by the same family as the Theater. The staff/volunteers at the venue are really nice people too.Cool part is, due to it's intimate setting, some performers have meet and greets and even then they usually mingle with fans after the show.If you see a show there you will not be disappointed.

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

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

Nice venue. We've seen several original bands. Since smallish, it can be loud. Ear plugs are available. Not sure why you would go to a concert and plug your ears, but... Recommend to give it a try if you someone you want to see or to try someone new. Cost is reasonable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just saw Doug Church perform and it was amazing. He looked and sounded just like Elvis. Good sense of humor as well. The venue is cozy. Just as I remembered it from watching movies there as a kid. The acoustics in the theater are excellent. I'm looking forward to checking out more shows in the future.

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

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

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

Bring a hammer and some boots. The rock field is right near the parking lot so you don't need to walk far. It's lots of fun to climb out onto the rocks and hit the hammers to find the ones that ring. Hopefully you have strong ankles and good tread shoes. You will definitely notice where others have hit the rocks with hammers. Down the path is a waterfall. The waterfall is beautiful but is nicer after a good rain. Getting to the bottom of the waterfall isn't hard but requires climbing down some smooth rocks so it's not the easiest but it's not horribly dangerous.

This natural wonder boasts a mystifying field of 128 acres of boulders that resonate like bells when struck with a hammer. The park also offers a unique quirk: birds avoid flying over the boulder field, and any removed boulders won't produce the ringing sound.I love spending time here, whether it's lounging on the rocks with a book, enjoying a picnic, or exploring the walking trail that surrounds the rock pit.As a delightful bonus, the trail leads to the largest waterfall in Bucks County, High Falls.

Unique park with a huge area of rocks just part way down the trail. Bring a hammer along and try to find ones that make different tones when you hit them. It's also a great way to destress if you have anything to "let go of."😅🔨 It was a beautiful time of year to be there. 🍂 You can walk on the trail past the rocks down to a waterfall; but at this point there wasn't much water. there are a few picnic tables.

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

A quaint little hike. Nothing spectacular but a good place to spend some family time. People bring hammers and there’s a place with rocks where you can bang the rocks and sometimes they make interesting noises. A cool little waterfall too completes the experience. Generally easy hike except if you want to go through the part with the rocks.

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

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

Took the kids for some ringing rock fun didn’t know about the bonus waterfall till we got there, got to love waterfalls so pretty. Recommend this park to all but especially kids the trail is short enough for them and they get to bang on rocks with hammers and once they get bored of that they can see a beautiful waterfall, the trail gets a bit mucky so be mindful as to wear boots or shoes you don’t care about and even a spare pair in the car to change into as to not get your floors covered in mud. Enjoy!

Beautiful place to hike. Be careful walking on the rocks as you can easily twist your ankles. Great place to bring the kids. The waterfall was pretty, too. Unfortunately, there was some graffiti on some rocks from ignorant people who have no respect for nature. Was hoping to see some animals, but I guess too many people were around. They have outdoor facilities in case you need to go to bathroom.

This was a fun space and the rocks really do ring! Works better by hitting rocks with other rocks. The waterfall is more of a trickle, at least when I went with my daughter, but we had fun at the rocks and the space was clean and beautiful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great places to for long walks on paved paths. We were there twice last week. Both were 3-4 miles, but could have been twice that. My 87 year old father enjoyed a one mile walk. I especially like the paths along the stream. Very picturesque. The photos were from a hike in April.

It’s very calm and beautiful. We went there on a Saturday morning we saw many people walking their dogs. Having a picnic in the picnic area. It was pretty busy as I think it was a long weekend Saturday. I took my cat there and it’s a pretty animal friendly place. It was very soothing and calming. Would love to visit this place again.

This is a great park to take a walk through. My love and I have been there a number of times, for power walks, strolls, or to give the dogs a long walk. There are plenty of mature trees along the walking path which meanders alongside the gentle stream... our favorite. We haven't explored the entire park yet, but I do recommend a visit. It's especially awesome in fall.

This place has so much: a stone mansion, horse stables, a formal garden, wedding facilitates, all kinds of trails, and lots of fields and forest; oh and there's allot of great picnic spots too.

Ridley state creek park is a gorgeous, foliage rich state park you can walk for miles in! Ridley creek runs through the park and provides a scenic, safe spot for locals to fresh water fish. The parking is not ideal so you may have to search for parking or bring a map in case you park in a spot you’re not familiar with. Cell phone service is spotty at best while walking trails so relying on a gps isn’t recommended. There are gorgeous photo ops throughout the park, plenty of spots to picnic and it is kid friendly. It can get muddy in areas also because it’s dense foliage. The trees are majestic and provide lots of shade!

Ridley Creek is a beautiful place to spend the day. With many walking trails, both paved and unpaved on 2,606 acres for walking, jogging, biking and dog walking. Fishing in the creek is aloud {check permit requirements}. Bring lunch and take advantage of the many picnic tables or benches, or grill in designated areas. The park is open seven days a week, with some parking and restrooms. Their hours are sunrise to sunset, so check their website prior to your visit, as these times are always changing.

I love hiking at this place. They do a great job keeping the trails maintained and the Gary the ranger always has a cheerful attitude. You can tell he really enjoys being there. The paved trail has plenty of points of interest which someone thoughtfully labeled and there is a bathroom at one of the parking areas that’s open year round.

Full of local history / architecture / and one of the cleanest and most preserved forests in the area. The park offers a wonderful paved walking or riding loop, many different trail heads and parking areas, picnic areas with grills and Pavillions, great areas for fly fishing, and a well documented history of the local settlements. More than you can see in one day, make sure to come back for more and please help keep this park pristine and clean 😊.

This state park offers moderate trails with plenty of signs to guide you. Enjoy beautiful, magical views that make every step of the journey worthwhile.

Such a wonderful place to hike! They have a historical plantation you can tour (adults are $10), and so many bathrooms along the trails, I loved it! The trails were fun and sometimes challenging, and so beautiful. They intersect and loop around. I’m only giving 4 stars because the GPS directions took us to a dead end, closed off road, so be careful. I wouldn’t put in “Ridley Creek State Park”. Maybe put in something for the white, blue or yellow trail heads and go from there. There is a main area where you can park and also parking at the trailheads. There’s plenty of parking and it was perfect fall weather! They even had an educational display about bats. At the end of our hike, we got to say hi to some beautiful horses. Don’t pet them or feed them though!

A beautiful paved bike path that never crosses any busy streets. Fantastic for family and less than aggressive cyclists who just want to get out for a ride.

Peaceful park. Hiking trails were difficult to navigate. Didn’t know start and end. Not much to do besides walk.

Beautiful setting for a quick walk or run, very tranquil place! Encountered very neighborly people. 10 out of 10!

Beautiful park. The stone mansion is amazing! Such an interesting house with so much to explore around it. There are tons of different trails to walk and plenty of picnic areas. This is definitely one of the best parks in the area to take pictures at, especially in the fall. I brought my camera and got so many great shots.

This place is a hidden gem for forest bathers. Parking can be a bit challenging to find, but if you appreciate horses, nature, and the beauty of fall foliage, along with a mix of high inclines, flat terrain, and water features, this location might be perfect for you. It's a great spot to unwind and de-stress in the serene natural surroundings. I took some time off here and found it to be an ideal spot for practicing shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. The area has limited cell service, which can be a blessing for those seeking a break from the constant demands of technology.During our visit, we covered approximately 10 miles on foot, which was incredibly refreshing. If you find yourself running on low battery due to life's challenges, this is the place to recharge with some much-needed vitamin D. It's a peaceful setting that allows you to practice patience and self-discipline when you need it most.

First time visitor. Plenty of parking options either on side road or follow the markers that lead to dedicated lot. Unfortunately were no paper maps available for us. Dropping a pin when you a park gets the job done. My pup loved the water and open space to roam. Would consider having a picnic.

Our first time here. We didn't realize there was additional parking across the street. It was beautiful & the friendly cat along the way was a bonus!

The park mansion and plantation house are unique areas and the trails are well kept and maintained. The picnic pavilions are numerous and in good condition. One of the best state parks in PA.

Beautiful park! I love the paved walking trail and 5 stars to that trail! Plenty of parking and a bathroom! However I wish the hiking trail map was easier to understand and that there were physical sign posts of trails along the walk ways. I would feel more confident taking the trails more often. There is almost zero cell service in the park so make sure to download or screenshot the trail map on your phone before you enter. Paper maps are rare. Also, if you want to take hiking trails that are not white or blue, there is less parking options (especially on weekends). Orange trail is beautiful but is hard to park near it and it’s dangerous to try and park along the road. Your car might get stuck in the muddy parking spot too. That’s why I deducted one star. Otherwise it’s a fantastic local park!

I was not prepared for the lack of parking for such a well known park. There is no main lot, there are side areas you can pull off on that aren’t paved My recommendation is plan an early morning visit! The main walkway is paved and runs along the creek. We did not walk the main path for long, we found a treacherous deer path the takes you closer to the creek and one wrong step you could slip down the bank into the creek. It was muddy and my Golden Retriever kept stopping and wanting to leap into the water. We eventually came out to the main walkway again. We then opted to take a path that inclined up away from the creek. There we found some actual trails and our fun began! The trails are perfect for a good hike. The trail we took continued to incline for quite some time. The trail is wooded and the views are magnificent. We crossed a small stream that had a little water fall due to recent heavy rainfall. We were the only people on this trail so it was nice and secluded. I thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and the work out from going mostly uphill. I’m not sure where the trail ends as we did eventually turn around and headed back the same way we came. If you plan to hike on any of these trails make sure you are wearing hiking shoes. I wanted to get some more pictures of the creek so we meandered our way up the paved walk and came to some lovely areas you can walk down to the water. We also came upon a little dock that goes out over the creek. The majority of visitors, at least while we were there, we’re out for exercise, a walk with their dog or out with their families . If you have small children as you can push a stroller all the way along the main walking path. There are no bathrooms just a couple of portapotties. As we were leaving there were large groups of people arriving, I have no idea where they were parking! We very much enjoyed our morning, I recommend adding this park to your must see list.

Best park near Philly. You will be hard pressed to find anything close to this. Truly the best gem

Beautiful state park. Lots of places to picnic. Cool mansion and gardens to explore. Nice creek to walk along.

Great first time experience. The shops were very welcoming and cozy. The ideal spot for a holiday date, and you don't have to spend any money! With that being said, you probably don't want to spend money because the boutique shops could be a bit pricey. We arrived late afternoon so we experienced both lights on and off. Plenty of walking so wear comfortable footwear. Make sure you have a map and dress accordingly. Enjoy!

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.

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

Very nice place to visit during the holidays. The drawback is parking, and towards our departure it was difficult to even walk on the sidewalks. The stores seem to be more kitschy than my previous visit. We stopped to eat at Hart's and were lucky to grab a seat at the bar due to the 2 hour wait!! Lines were super long all over the village. You really have to be patient and love people to get in and around everywhere. We drove there to celebrate our 1st anniversary, it was nice, but think going up there during the year would be better.

Visited this place for the first time and just fell in love with it! It has everything you can wish for in a village - great food, shops, events! We attended the Octoberfest and enjoyed the food, music and games. Also, saw the scarecrow contest and it was amazing to see how creative scarecrows could be. We also enjoyed the antique car show. Can't wait to be back for Christmas!

Many Interesting little shops and events appealing to a wide variety of interests. good food and family fun. Been here a couple times, this past visit was the first during the day, very pretty there at night during the holidays. Old world feel with all the brick layed pathways and old buildings.

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.

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!

Really cool place. I've only been during the holiday season. I hear it's beautiful all year long. Numerous restaurants/dessert places. Cute little shops. Great for families. Great way to start off the Christmas season. Definitely recommend!

We came for a relaxing day trip to Peddlers Village for the Holiday lights and shops. My family and I really enjoyed the Christmas/Holiday feel of the entire village. The village has a timeless vibe and feels like a winter wonderland (without the snow ;) it was too warm and early for any snow).Really enjoyed how friendly the local folks working at these boutique shops. Some shops were a bit pricey and also some pretty affordable ones too.If you plan a trip up there, make sure to make reservations at the local restaurants. They book up really fast, so we couldn't get one. They did have a few food trucks that looked pretty interesting. We drove and ate at a place further away from the Village.

This is a very quaint village with lots of unusual shops. Definitely worth a visit for a day trip. Lovely looking building with a big variety of shops from clothing, toys shops, books, sports memorabilia, German shop, Harry Potter shop and more

First time experience, went to the sand sculpture exhibit and they are very elaborate with so many details. There were 6 of them spread out throughout the village so it's like a little scavenger hunt as you go to find them.We went on a Monday because it sounds like this is the type of place to get packed on the weekend. There is free parking everywhere at all ends of the village. It is hilly with some brick sidewalks but stroller/wheelchair accessible. There are so many little shops and restaurants to check out and public bathrooms. Overall it was a fun day and worth our 3 hour drive to get there. Check out the website for the events going on daily and throughout the year, because there's a lot happening at this place especially around different holidays/seasons.

Visited on June 26 morning time. Very tranquil place. Enjoyed strolling throughout the village. The shops are very nice! There were some amazing sand sculptures. See pictures!

I never have a bad time when I come to this area. I love seeing artists' work. I love the quirky shops. The grounds are always clean and the walkways are even and easy to navigate. Return trips are just as fun as the first time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Visiting during the holiday season was an absolute delight! The Christmas lighting was mesmerizing, creating a magical atmosphere that truly immersed us in the Christmas spirit. Everywhere we turned, there were beautiful displays evoking the essence of Christmas. The attention to detail in the decorations and the vibrant energy made our visit an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a joyful holiday escape!

If I could describe Peddler's Village in one word, it would be charming. I discovered this place through a friend's instagram posting, and I immediately fell in love with this place prior to visiting. I first drove down here over a year ago, and I just loved browsing through all of the cute little shops. It kind of reminds me of Olde Mystic Village in Mystic, CT. But be forewarned that it can get quite costly, but this place has a store for whatever you are looking for. They have an abundance of parking spaces and clean restrooms, but I would suggest going early as this place gets crowded rather quickly, especially during the holidays. I definitely recommend anyone, whether they live in NY, NJ, PA, or beyond, to come check this place out.

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.

Easy drive into PA.Lots of parking in different lots on the outskirts of the "village". Walk and browse all the different shops and a few restaurants.Went on a Tuesday, zero crowds, no lines, immediate seating at the restaurant.Shops include candles, sports, last name crests, popcorn, bakery, jerky, honey, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, clothing, bourbon, BBQ sauces, and more.Grounds all lit up with Christmas lights, gazebo has Christmas tree for pics, nice day, nice atmosphere.Hart's Tavern was great for dinner, good prices, and the Kitchen Sink desert was AWESOME!!!

A Magical Christmas Wonderland at Peddler's Village!Peddler's Village is truly a holiday haven that exceeded all my expectations! I recently spent a delightful day there, immersing myself in the festive spirit of Christmas, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the breathtaking display of a million lights that transformed Peddler's Village into a twinkling wonderland. Every corner was adorned with festive decorations, creating a magical atmosphere that instantly put me in the holiday mood.As a shopping enthusiast, I was thrilled by the variety of unique boutiques and specialty shops that Peddler's Village boasts. From charming gift shops to stylish clothing stores, there was something for everyone. The Christmas-themed merchandise was especially enchanting, making it the perfect place to find one-of-a-kind gifts for my loved ones.The attention to detail in the decorations and displays was impressive, and it was evident that the staff put a lot of effort into creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The festive music playing in the background added to the overall joyous atmosphere.What sets Peddler's Village apart is not just the shopping, but the sense of community and holiday cheer that permeates the entire area. Families and friends were gathered around, enjoying the festive ambiance and creating lasting memories together.Whether you're a local or just visiting, Peddler's Village during the Christmas season is an absolute must-see. I highly recommend this charming destination for anyone looking to embrace the magic of the holidays. It's a gem that sparkles brighter than the million lights that adorn its streets!

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.

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.

I always enjoyed coming here for decades! it's quaint and nice- pleasant people who are kind. the shops are awesome!! culture, music. History, antiques, food and trendy upscale restaurants!!Displays around r beautiful -absolutely wonderful landscaping as a horticultural buff.my only complaint would be it is a bit pricey to shop and I'm unable to take my father here anymore because it's not very senior friendly or just not a handicap friendly area. those who may be wheelchair-bound there's really not wheelchair entrances

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

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!!

A true eastern Pennsylvania Gem of the perfect spot for a Countryside Road trip. If you want the quintessential Hallmark experience you must stop by Peddlers village. The shopping, the landscape and the total ambience makes for the perfect daytime getaway by yourself or with the family. Cobblestone's Boutique shops and seasonal events make for an enjoyable experience. We love the ease of navigating through the village and there are shops for everyone from jewelry clothing food wine and plenty of dining options. On the day we went we experienced the October Fall Foliage theme with fun and exciting scarecrow scattered throughout the village. The weather was perfect and the local musicians added to the ambiance. A very Charming town to say the least.

Lots of shops and it's very nicely decorated for the holidays. Some different types of stores which you may not find in typical malls. It's basically like a bunch of mini stores. So you have to walk outside to get to the next store. It's not all in a row either. If it's cold, rainy, snow, too hot, etc, it will be uncomfortable. They are not outlet stores, so don't expect lots of deals either. However, it's a nice place to visit.

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.

Beautiful! I came here with my boyfriend and we had a great time! It was a warm and sunny day so it was a perfect time to visit. The entire arboretum is beautiful and there is much to see. They do a great job with upkeep as well There are plenty of benches for rest and restrooms. This is perfect for a date or day trip and they even have family friendly activities as well.

Absolutely wonderful place! Not only does it have beautiful trees and flowers, but it has multiple water fountains and interesting and whimsical features, like dinosaur sculptures. So it can keep kids entertained too. You get some good exercise while relaxing in a serene environment.

This is a wonderfully beautiful Arboretum with numerous innovative structures, great pathways, a superb greenhouse, a miniature train structure, many babbling streams of water, and contains various animal and plant life. There is a decent amount of free parking, a gift shop, helpful and friendly staff, multiple stations to sanitize your hands, as well as restrooms throughout. There are sensible covid-19 procedures in place. Can't wait to return after the spring to see it in bloom!

The morris arboretum is an incredible place! I took a girl on a first date there, she talked the entire time and there was plenty to look at as we walked around, I loved it. So I made sure to bring her back the following year to propose to her. I’d recommend oak alley as pictured. Will definitely be going again, also a fun place to take your folks on a walk, unsure if they allow dogs, they do allow picnics though. They have affordable party options, and it’s always crazy clean! I’m not a big fan of the art installations but the trees themselves were incredible. I would definitely suggest trying to hit all the special named trees on the map!Oh! And make sure you catch the tiny Japanese garden in the middle, so tranquil!

Beautiful garden! We went with the whole family and we all enjoyed it. The kids especially loved the bird's nest area and the model trains villiage! I appreciated that there was plenty of shade since it was a hot day. Bring your own water and snacks. I didn't notice anywhere to buy any.

I knew I wanted to have my wedding reception at the Morris Arboretum before I was even engaged! The grounds and gardens are gorgeous. The venue was perfect for my vintage, Bridgerton garden theme. This venue offers such a unique experience, especially with the option to have your cocktail hour in the "Out on a Limb" treehouse, which we did. Our guests are still raving about how unique it was. The sunset during cocktail hour in early October along w/ our harpist we had playing created a whimsical experience in the trees. The reception tent fits about 175, but we had 115 and it was perfect. Just enough room for the dance floor, bar area, and tables without it being too crowded. The staff at the MA are super kind, helpful and responsive. They offer a golf cart for the day of to transport for photos, to explore the grounds and help elderly/handicapped folks around. There are a lot of rules since this is an arboretum and they have to protect it, but you honestly don't need much given the natural beauty. We used Wild Stems to install the dance floor and ceiling decor for the tent and Company's Coming as our caterer. The whole experience was perfect. Our guests, family, friends and most importantly ourselves all had a lovely, fun, memorable time. Everyone is still talking about it! The MA and their staff were a huge part of our wedding success!

A small slice of peace, nature, and trees among the busy and bustling city. We got there pretty late and were bummed that we weren't able to stay super late. But even the 30 minutes that we were able to spend were amazing. The Arboretum is very well maintained and accessible - there's so much we saw, and yet so much I have to go back and see!

One of my favorite places on earth! I’m never disappointed in my visits to this amazing garden. There’s always so much to see, no matter the season! Great shady nooks and bright sunny statuary await you, along with tree-house boardwalks and garden railways. The Morris Arboretum truly has something to engage all age groups!

Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania is a beautiful area to explore near Philadelphia, PA. The grounds are quite expansive and display a variety of plants and garden styles. You could easily spend several hours venturing through the 92- acre historic area. The only downside I would say is the pricing now at $20! I think, especially since the gardens are on the university grounds, that the pricing should be much more accessible to everyone, but I guess they need to keep it selective somehow.

My first trip to Morris Arboretum in Pennsylvania was truly impressive. The $20 admission fee was definitely worth it. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by lush greenery, beautiful flowers, and tall trees that created a serene atmosphere.The highlight of the visit was the captivating model train garden. It was incredibly detailed and a lot of fun to explore. Morris Arboretum also does a great job educating visitors about nature and conservation with informative displays.To sum it up, Morris Arboretum offers a fantastic experience for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape. The $20 admission fee is well-spent for the quality of this attraction. Don't miss out on this gem!

Great time beautiful place lots to see no not as big as Longwood Gardens but still many beautiful things

This was absolutely beautiful. Tulips were still out and it was relaxing for a nice relaxing walk. Highly recommend.

Beautiful arboretum & gardens with lovely walking paths, fun model train area and dinosaurs throughout. Loved the charming Fernary and the rose garden. So many stunning trees and flowers with markers so you can learn what they are. Loved our visit!

This place is beautiful and not nearly as packed as Longwood so you really just wander and enjoy nature. The entire site is like a poem to nature, everything is shaped and built to intrude on the wild as little possible.

We went on a field trip and had a blast! The kids loved being outdoors and enjoying nature. We wish they still had the cafe though, because many chaperones wanted to get a bite to eat.

Such an absolutely beautiful gem. There is so much to do and see; lots of hidden little surprises and secrets so slow down and take your time exploring and enjoying every nook and cranny. A perfect place to relax by yourself to find serenity, stroll and catch up with friends, and even a romantic date. Ample room to roam and magical touches like fairy villages, with lots of educational plaques scattered throughout makes this a great place to visit with little ones, too. The grounds and flora are so lovingly curated and cared for. Buy your tickets online in advance and arrive early in the morning to make entry a breeze.

Was there for a private function after hours and grounds were absolutely beautiful. Would venture there again but it’s a little out of the way. Birds, groundhogs, bees, squirrels, chipmunks, swans, butterflies and the occasional mosquito are frequently seen throughout the arboretum.

Excellent arboretum with a wide variety of things to see and do. Model trains and an elevated platform in the trees to pleasant walks among gardens and open grasslands. Indoor areas have ferns and other flora. Really nice for walks with accessible parking, vending and indoor areas to shelter from the weather. Suitable for all ages and interests - recommended if you enjoy curated outdoor spaces.

I spent my birthday walking through these gardens. I'm not easily impressed by anything but this garden is truly a work of art. I admire the thought and care that goes into every detail. I always wanted to get into a human sized birds nest, that dream came true. Hanging out in the tree tops was also a highlight of my visit. The wildlife on the grounds are very unique as well. Sometimes getting the children into being outdoors can be challenging. They enjoyed every moment we were there. The grounds have such a sacred feeling to them. The use of statues and shrines is truly breathtaking. The staff was extremely helpful and didn't put us out when we got stuck with the swans and lost track of time.We will definitely be back, it was totally worth it. What a beautiful way to spend my birthday.

This was a beautiful museum of trees, so close to home. It is a good way to spent a nice afternoon walking the grounds and taking in the sites.

I have been here a few times, and I am blown away each time! I recently went for their newest dinosaur exhibit (really just a bunch of dinosaur sculptures and information cards placed throughout the gardens). It was a blast! The kids were so excited to be there! Their garden railway is my absolute favorite! I recommend following the map, though, because it would be easy to miss some parts.They do have some cobblestone paths, but they have signs to show the wheelchair accessible paths.

This was an amazing place. We had come here to do a hike but 3hrs later we were still walking around looking at all the beautiful gardens , the flowers were in full bloom and magnificent. We were speaking with one of the guides, Irv. He explained how Morris Arboretum and gardens came to be and took us for a tour of the enclosed Japanese gardens. Irv made the place come alive!.There was a small gift shop open and the bathrooms are immaculate. The place is meticulously maintained and there is plenty of parking. There is an admission fee but it is well worth it.

Went to tour the place for a potential wedding venue and we were blown away! Absolutely gorgeous and the staff were very amenable and friendly :^]

Unfortunately, the day we visited the temperature was in the 90s, so we only saw about half of what is there. What we did get to see was great. We hope to get to visit again when the weather is more comfortable.

Morris Arboretum & Gardens is an adventure for the entire family. Children of all ages will enjoy the Out on a Limb Tree Canopy Walk and Garden Railway with various trains running through gardens. There are many beautiful garden areas throughout the arboretum including the lovely Rose Garden, and Pennock Flower Walk. Oak Allee is lined with majestic oak trees leading down to the Three Tubes Sculpture. Mercury Loggia, the Fernery, and the Step Fountain are lovely. Children will also enjoy seeing the Log Cabin, swans in Swan Pond, and the human size nest along the canopy walk. As well as, meandering through Fairy Woods and looking for dinosaur figures throughout. We truly enjoyed our visit to Morris Arboretum & Gardens. Everything is well maintained and the signage is excellent. The arboretum is a gem.

Beautiful place!! I don't know why I have never visited before but my bf and I really enjoyed it. He even wants to get a membership! We went on a sunday and bought tickets ahead of time. Getting in was no problem and there was plenty of parking. The grounds were massive and it wasn't overly crowded at all. The arboretum is amazing and clearly a lot of care is taken to maintain it. My favorites were the redwoods, the swans, and a little butterfly area among the flowers. Would def recommend to others and we will be back.

Absolutely beautiful! 1½ mile loop with beautiful scenery. A massive train course that the staff and volunteers keep running smoothly. A luscious rose garden. Currently they are building the pumpkin patch right now too. I explored for about 2 hours. It was perfect. I could have stayed longer as well but felt I had a good grasp on it

It started off with a light sprinkle and eventually rained heavy enough to seek shelter. The variety of plantings was amazing. Flowers and trees are well labeled for self exploration. I would definitely travel back to Philly to visit here again.

One of my favorite gardens! Super lush and interactive. Must check out the Garden Railways. Dinosaurs 🦕 and prehistoric plants 🌿 are currently on exhibit. If interested, there are garden highlights tours at 1:00pm on weekends.

I went for the fernery - a greenhouse full of ferns! But they also have many gardens, including one with outdoor sculpture, and a swan pond. Truly a peaceful place you could spend a whole day.

Beautiful. Well maintained. A variety of gardens. Staff super friendly. Website very easy to navigate.

What a gem! This is a beautiful venue that blends art, education, and nature. A variety of events and installments are family friendly, giving kiddos a space to play. The main path is less than 2 miles long, making it a bit more accessible to experience in its entirety than a place like Longwood Gardens.

Pleasantly Surprised. Almost every inch of this place could be on an instagram post. Its pricey at $20 per adult. But, worth it since you can easily be there for at least 2hrs. Bring some snacks and plan a picnic for the ultimate experience.

A nice garden with many features for kids, such as a garden railway display. There happened to be a rose event by the Visitor center and it was amazing to see so many different roses in Pennsylvania. The rose garden was good too. Walking by the Dawn Redwood trees was very cool. I enjoyed my time there, relaxing and refreshing.

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

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

We had a lot of fun! Our kids have interest in history and they love the countryside so they had a great time. There was a social distancing,but very few people were wearing masks. But overall, it was a great experience!

We did the Traditional Excursion on a coach ticket. The train is really nice and the 1900s music added to the experience. The train was clean and the guide was knowledgeable. All staff was friendly. If you want solely the experience of a ride on a traditional railroad train, then you’ll love it. There isn’t much to see on the actual ride, mostly just houses and trees (which were bare this time of the year, early April). It was a nice experience, not sure I would spend more than $30 bucks per person on it! The ride was 45 minutes, but since it isn’t in a circle, you get the same view twice (just a heads up!).If you’re going with children, a themed ride might be best for you.

Excellent experience on the steam engine. Service, hospitality, and ambiance were superb 👌. The scenic view was not much, but we enjoyed the atmosphere 😀. Cheese tray and one biscuit basket per couple were served, one could not ask for more, wine was served 4 times, two red and two white.

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

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

On a weekend visit to New Hope, and while walking by the station, my wife and I decided to check out the train.It departs from the station each hour during the day. We purchased coach tickets, which were about $30 per person. The other two options were first class (about $50 per), and open air (not sure if the cost was different). Outside of sitting in the dining cart, the experience in coach wasn't really different.The ride was smooth, and very informative. The conductor gives local facts along the way. It heads about 20 minutes in one direction, then turns around to head back to the station. Total time was about 45 minutes.An experience worth doing if you never have.

I can't believe I grew up in Bucks County and only found out about this place like a month ago.My wife and I did the fall foliage train ride, lounge seating first class. It was a very nice ride, despite it being a bit late in the season to see much foliage. The conductor provides a fair amount of education information on the ride. Service was quick, but the beer selection is greatly lacking (at least it was craft beers though). The booths are quite tight FYI. I'm 6'-4" and 330lbs. It was a squeeze for me to get in there, but I made it. They provide a deck of cards, which was fun for my wife and I.Fairs are quite pricey, which doesn't surprise me given the location. We just booked another Christmas ride, but we chose to do the "Traditional" ride instead of Christmas themed ride, because it's about 1/3 the price. Also, fair warning, parking in their lot is very expensive! We went to get lunch after the fall ride (2hrs + lunch), and parking came out to $56. You can do meter parking on the other side of the tracks (by triumph brewing) for a fraction of that cost.We are excited to go back in a little over a month!

The traditional excursion in the open air cart was SO much fun and I can’t wait to go back. Staff was friendly and helpful and there are drinks available for purchase during the ride. I’m only giving it 4 stars because of the outrageous cost of parking. $26 for 2 hours or $62 for the whole day. We didn’t have time to find parking elsewhere and make the train or we would’ve. There are other lots nearby for much cheaper.

New Hope, Pennsylvania boasts a charming old railway known as the New Hope Railroad. This historic iron horse offers scenic rides through picturesque landscapes, taking visitors back in time to relive the golden age of rail travel. A must-visit for history and train enthusiasts alike.

Was an amazing experience with our son. Can't wait to go back for other excursions. This is a must-do for everyone, especially families!

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

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

My family and I recently took a trip on the New Hope Railroad, and we had a great time! The scenic views were beautiful, and the vintage train added a charming touch to our day out. The staff was friendly and helpful, making sure we were comfortable throughout the ride. While it was a bit pricey, the experience was worth it.

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

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

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

Such a wonderful experience! I went here on a date with my boyfriend and we loved it. The narrations throughout the train ride were informative and caught your attention. My only con was I felt the audio could be a bit louder. The wine was fantastic and I loved that it was all local wines and beers. Our hostess Mya was wonderful. She was attentive, sweet and very hospitable. Overall this was a great trip and I would recommend it. Thank you New Hope Railroad and Mya! Definitely will be coming back.

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

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

It was OK. Scenery was pretty. We took the 4pm train end of October. It would have been good if they dimmed the lights inside the train car to see better as it got dark. Not sure if coach tickets we were supposed to have a guide or not, but pretty sure we were supposed to have one. Also the music was so low you couldn't hear it very well. Wish we could have upgraded before the ride to first or platinum class.

A small fairytale town that is filled with souvenir shops, restaurants, beautiful houses and historical sites. One of them and the most important is the railway. With roots dating back to 1891, when the tracks were laid by the North-East Pennsylvania Railroad, the New Hope Railroad has become a landmark in the region. The trip was about 30 minutes, during which time you can enjoy beautiful views and listen to stories about the creation of this road. After the trip, you can walk around the city, or go to the park that is located across the river. Everything is within walking distance. You will get a lot of pleasure and spend an unforgettable weekend or holiday.

An excellent place to spend a birthday. They had 2 trains running, each on the half hour - hour mark. Not to mention amazing photography opportunities. Bathrooms, Building, and Railroad Infrastructure is in amazing condition. An added bonus is the restaurant that overlooks the railroad line, and the nearby Peddler's Village.

I wanted to love this, I really really did. The train/station is adorable with a charming gift shop and the staff were extremely friendly! I give that part a 10/10. Flowers all over and very clean. If it wasn't for those two things, I would have given a 2. This is extremely overpriced. Between the tickets and the parking... Yikes. We did the short ride and you see the back of a few expensive homes but not much else. I'm so glad I didn't bring my kids because it would have been an absolute waste of money with tickets being $50 each after fees and $15 parking. This experience was really lacking and unfortunately we won't be returning. Pay attention to the parking sign. The prices are listed all the way on the button and you can't see them.

Its better to go over there in weekdays then you can really feel something about new hope! must visit surrounding places nearby!

Such a fun experience! Splurged for first class tickets and ended up being one of three couples in the car. Our bartender was very sweet and informative, which made the trip all the better! Highly recommend!

I took my daughter for her birthday today! It was lovely! We tasted 10 wines, got a large Bavarian pretzel, and a glorious peppercorn guda cheese. The service was excellent! Our wine server explained in detail about ever wine we tasted! I would definitely recommend a visit if you like trying different wines!

It’s not the best winery I’ve ever been to, but it’s the best one I’ve been to in Bucks County. The tasting was good, the presenter was knowledgeable. They took some shortcuts with some winemaking, but whatever not everything is a winner. However, I don’t understand why they charged me $17 a glass for sparkling wine when a bottle is $25.

Loved our experience! At first we arrived later than expected but the hosts were very accommodating which we appreciated! The ambience was beautiful and the staff was amazing. One staff member in particular had her first day and gave us great recommendations for restaurants nearby as well as was very accommodating regarding taking our photos! Would definitely recommend again!

The place itself is cozy, but the wines were barely ok. There are a couple specific ones that are popular at this winery, so better stick with them. The wine tasting was underwhelming, especially because the sommelier was rushing us through every course (we were the last visitors, so she clearly just wanted to get this over with and go home) and wasn’t welcoming overall.

I had an awesome time during the wine tasting. Crossing vineyards has such an impressive collection of wines. We had a really great conversation about all the fun things you could pair with the wines with Julia, the assistant manager. I'll definitely be back once the weather gets nicer.

Pretty place. Ordering system DOES NOT work. Waited 40 minutes for 2 bottles of wine not even food. Wine was expensive and just good. Overall this winery is just ok.

Really beautiful area. Service was good. There selection of food,wine and beer caters to all walks of life.

I hosted a bus tour of Bucks County and the Crossings Vineyard and Winery was an excellent part of our trip. The wine tasting and explanations of the wines as well as the history of the vineyard certainly was the highlight of our trip. The wines we tasted were delicious. Thank you to the staff who made this a memorable trip.

Excellent Vineyard and Winery. My 1st experience ever at one and this far exceeded my expectations. The level of customer service from our server to the owner greeting us and talking to us and making us feel like family was amazing. Highly recommend the lunch with 10 wine tasting. Excellent selections. We even purchased a whole case and we only drink wine occasionally. Help support your local great establishments and trust me, we will be back. Keep up the great work Tom.

Crossing Vineyards and Winery hosted my Father's Celebration of Life event this weekend. Tom and his team are consummate professionals. The event could not have gone more seamlessly and their efforts went towards ensuring that my Father had a fitting send off. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We came here for a girls day and had such a good time. The wine was yummy, but our favorite part was “Old Man Bill” (I hope I got his name right 😩). He was such a good host, we tried 10 wines and left with a few bottles. I’m having the peach wine right now with some Prosecco as he suggested and let me tell youuuu!!! AMAZING!! We are already planning to go back because this peach wine has to be available to me at all times. Thank you guys for a beautiful day! And the yummy wine! Andddd the wonderful hosting!!!!

Came on a Sunday, there was no one there.1. Service/wine/food quality: you can order food at any table in the winery digitally, which is cool. Except this is a winery and you'd want to get some info on the wines (e.g., residual sugars, vintage, etc.) and some information on the food. Ended up ordering a bottle of Pinot Grigio that was too sweet for us. The description of the wine had nothing on how dry it was so we assumed it was their driest product since they had a semi-sweet Riesling on the menu. On the food service side -- one of our dishes did not come out because apparently the ticket didn't print. Once we pointed it out the food was brought. The charcuterie ended up OK, the BBQ chicken flatbread was flat -- very soggy and overly sweet.2. Experience: winery is beautiful especially the outside. Inside there are several rooms that are connected but it's unclear which one you should be using for the best experience. There was a live musician there but she was in a back room all by herself. Out of respect we went to that back room to listen to the music. I don't understand why she wasn't allowed to play in the main area as there was nothing going on at the time. Very weird.

Crossing Vineyards is a beautiful estate with wines that are so good. I decided to have Crossings as my proposal location for my future fiancée. Brit and Julia, the manager and assistant manager were so awesome. At one point, I had to reschedule due to the bad weather and they were so accommodating. I booked a wine celebration tasting for our post-proposal party with a few family and friends. Alyssa our server was so awesome, and she was so knowledgeable about the wines and how they pared up with different foods.A beautiful winery with a such an awesome staff makes this one great place to go visit and try the wines. They are the absolute best..

Went here for the first time yesterday, for Valentine's Day, with my wife. It was utterly awful in all aspects. We did the V Day package and the wine was OK, the food was terrible, and the service was awful. Wine - Cabernet franc was good, Vintner's Red Blend was watery and tasteless. Food - steaks ordered medium were raw and crab cake was all filler/breading. Worst part was the service. I don't send food back much but I would've asked to have my steak cooked a bit more, had I had a chance. But after our food arrived no one gave us a second look. The waitress cleared two visibly full plates without batting an eye. There seemed to be one server pouring water, another taking food orders, and another taking wine orders, and they wouldn't/couldn't handle things outside of their assigned task. I asked someone for salt and pepper (none on any of the tables and the food was so bland) and you could tell by her reaction that she had no idea where to find it. We never did get that pepper...

Full disclosure - I had a better experience here than my companions did, especially when it came to the food. But they're not writing this review, so here we are with a solid, positive rating. I came here for a few hours early Saturday afternoon right when Crossing Vineyards opened (we literally might have been their first customers) for a bit of wine and a bite to eat. I'd been here once before several years ago in the winter for a tasting, but it was a pretty brief visit that honestly didn't leave much of an impression either way. And I think anyone who goes to wineries fairly regularly would tell you that it's a VERY different vibe going in the winter versus summer, especially if you have the opportunity (as we did this time around) to take advantage of the outdoor seating. Interestingly, we went through several different interior areas in the winery before emerging outside into their patio section, and each of those areas had their own unique environment. There was a room that seemed kind of bougie/Sunday brunch, and another that was more cozy with a ski lodge influence. Nice touch.The service here was excellent across the board. We were immediately greeted by a woman at the entrance who provided us with several options (essentially a guided tasting versus a DIY experience; we chose the latter) and told us if we wished to order food to just scan the barcode at the table and it would be brought out to us (I have a friend who is an older Millennial but is pretty much 90 years old in every other way who yowled about not having a physical menu, but again - not writing this review and probably wouldn't know how to do it online anyway) . It was very easy to use, and everything came out promptly.I wasn't looking to booze hardcore and it was pretty toasty out, so I opted for a wine slushee-esque drink that was on the sweeter side and pretty peachy. Very pleasant and hit the spot. I was a big fan of the BBQ chicken flatbread, which I'd had my eye on for several days prior to this excursion. I'm unfortunately learning that decent food, or any food really, isn't an automatic at a winery, so I tend to give a lot of credit for a legit accompanying menu. The flatbread was filling, but also on the lighter side so it was perfect for what I was looking for that day. We also got a charcuterie board to split, which was okay, but as you can see from the accompanying picture, it was light on the meats. I don't claim to be a charcuterie expert, but I feel like you want a pretty solid equilibrium between the meat and the cheese, but the cheese options vastly outnumbered the one or two slices of meat on the board. It was fine for what it was though. I'd also mention that upon request, we were able to get some free water during our meal, which (like the food) isn't a guarantee. So right there, you're checking off a few intangible boxes.The price point for everything was pretty reasonable. It can go either way in this area, as you're in a rural enough section of the Delaware Valley that items can be pretty cheap, but you're also a stone's throw from the tourist trap one-two punch of Lambertville and New Hope. I think I ended up paying about $30 or $35 for the flatbread entrée and wine, which isn't egregious in my book.I'd have no objection to coming back here, especially since I missed out on sampling most of the wine options.

Very peaceful atmosphere! Went for a girls day and had a formal tasting, followed by a bite to eat on the patio. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and we loved the wine and food. Definitely going back!

We decided to try the flights of wines (white, red and sweet). The wines weren’t that good, maybe only that these ones that were dedicated for the flights. The only one was actually pretty good was the Cabernet Sauvignon which had a rich woody and crisp fruity flavor. Their Merlot has an interesting crispy taste. The service was good, just the product we tried wasn’t the greatest.
