It's always the little spots that gets you and offer some of the best customer service. One such place is here. My sweet tooth beckoned to me and I went in to a smoothie. The two young ladies in the service area were very affable and attentive. Though small it was comfortable without a crowd. As I was waiting for my smoothie the lady ( I believe her name is Elm) said we could take a loaf or two bread as it was closing time. Imagine my surprise. Such a good gesture instead of throwing them out. Also suggesting that the breads are baked fresh everyday.

There’s stores like: Gap, Macy’s, JCPenney, Forever21, H&M, Apple, Anthropologie, Free people, Sephora, Aeri, Aeropostal, Hollister, American Eagle, Loft, Express, Victoria’s secrets, Pink, etc.

My kids and I loved our shopping experience at the Eastview Mall. It was clean and has a huge variety of stores and places to eat. It'll keep you busy all day for sure.

We love this mall! Plenty of stores, great staff in the stores, and each store was easy to locate. The LEGO store was great and the decorations were beautiful. The food court was great as well. We did spend at least a few hours at this mall for shopping and had a great time. Worth coming here for some Christmas shopping!

The stores and common areas were clean and cute. The selection had more quality than quantity which I particularly enjoyed. The lighting was perfect for pictures and label - reading.

Great, busy mall with lots of stores. One of the only thriving malls within hours. Has most everything you need for a typical mall outing. It is generally very clean and safe with multiple mall guards posted around the mall.

Eastview mall is located in Victor, NY. The mall has many diverse shopping options including unique stores like Anthropologie, Build-a-Bear, Free People, Eddie Bauer, Pottery Barn, Vera Bradley and many more high scale stores. The food court and sit down restaurants offer a wide variety of food choices, as well. The mall usually seems well maintained and clean.

This is what a mall should look like! Every storefront has a business in it. There are thriving plants, clean and active water features, and a general good vibe. I’d drive from Buffalo to Rochester just to shop here in this mall. We are looking forward to returning.

I love this mall. It's decorative for Christmas. You can visit Santa and take your own photos if you don't want to pay for a package.

My favorite place! This mall is located on route 96 in Victor ny. This parking lot is clean and safe with plenty of handicap spaces available. The mall is always clean and safe with many leather couches to rest. The mall has a variety of stores with a couple of anchor stores. This mall is still struggling to keep there stores and restaurants. They have loss many of the reasurant in the food court. Thank you to all the owners and employees who keep this place a Beautiful place to shop and vist. Please help our local business survive this crazy times. I love your mall. Gerry

Decent parking for a Sunday afternoon. Fairly clean and lit up, as it was sunny. Store staff was friendly in all the shops we went in. All in all, not a bad mall to visit. Will be great once the rest of the stores that are pending open.

WHBM Eastview Mall: The staff there is amazing. Yesterday the store was so busy with the sale going on. Victoria and Joan still made time for every customer. Making sure everyone was being helped in a timely matter. They are so helpful. Victoria knows me well and she picks out items for me that are always so beautiful. She knows my taste. These ladies are amazing. Cindy the new manager is wonderful. Victoria thank you for being a great personal stylist😉

My daughter and I always have a great time when we come to the mall. This time of year it looks so nice. We will always come to this mall.

coolio. loved the cat cafe and the toothpick art gallery（for a lack of a better description）

Me and my 10 year old son had a blast this afternoon at the mall. I hadn't been there since before my mom passed away... He got his first fitted ball cap...and he looked in The Plug sneaker shop...and played some arcade games... It was really special.

I've went to many malls in my lifetime and this mall is ranked #1 to me! This mall is so much better than the mall at the Greece location. The atmosphere is relaxing! Whenever I see a group of people, or just a couple of 2, I can see lots of laughing and smiles! People are having a great time here at Eastview! I was only planing to go into a few stores and to make some purchases. I nearly went into all of them and coming out with bags galore! The food court is spacious and have a great variety of food available! I will definitely go to this mall more often!

The best mall in the Upstate New York area hands down. The variety of shopping opportunities makes for a great selection of products, with friendly staff in just about every store. The sheer size of the mall alone can give you a great workout if you're looking to get your steps in, and the atmosphere always makes wandering aimlessly through the corridors a pleasant experience. You can easily spend an entire afternoon here and not be bored.

Absolutely love love love this Mall!!!! Would highly recommend anyone to come and shop and enjoy the experience at any time of the year! My favorite personally is the Christmas 🎄 🎅❄️⛄️ season they go all out for decorating and it’s absolutely beautiful / breathtaking and they have a Santa and giant tree in the center of the mall! 🎄 If you are in the area and want to explore / have a wonderful shopping experience come to Eastview Mall it’s absolutely amazing! It lastly has a giant selection of wonderful stores for everyone to enjoy!

An expansive mall with lots of great stores. Very clean with plenty of natural light. Doing the shopping rounds here will definitely get you in pretty good shape! Fine places to eat as well. UPDATE: Still an impressive mall but sadly, many stores are permanently closed. There's still a good mix of standard to higher end shops.

They were open new years day surprisingly so. So I drove 2 hours to purchase a special kind of jam they had. All I can think of it is a 7-Eleven of farmers markets; not in a derogatory way. It was small enough it had a vast variety of items. Will be back of course

Great place for fresh produce and more. The nursery is spectacular.

This place is a gem! We had the fortune of staying a beautiful, serene night in their apple orchard via harvest hosts. As pleasant as our overnight was the market experience transcended. Every worker with with whom we spoke was friendly and knowledgeable. Their fruit and vegetables were out of this world. The peaches in particular. We purchased an elk sausage with pear, potato, and port wine that was incredible. Heck, the morning coffee and apple cider donut was as good as we've had. Ontario Orchards will be a fixture in our Upstate NY travels.

A must stop farm stand and pick your own orchard! Take the hilly drive through the fall foliage to check out this hidden gem! Jam packed with all fall produce and fresh baked goods with the fresh scent of the pies, donuts, cakes, and giant cinnamon buns and much more, wafting throughout this amazing farm stand as you shop! Many decorative items for fall and Christmas season as well! Fudge, nuts, and all the seasonal treasures you can imagine! I left with a box full of goodies. Help was just a little short even early on a weekday but I can imagine it’s been a super busy season. I was going to go back for a bunch of pumpkins but it seemed they were overwhelmed. I definitely will make the drive again!

Many fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. Specialty meats,doughnuts, cheeses, and much more. Also gardening supplies bushes, and trees. Some items are a bit pricey but overall a very nice and pleasant experience every time we go.

My husband brought home your baked goods today and they were the best I've ever had!!! You're more than an hour away from our house but thinking the drive would be so worth it!!! Thank you so much! 💓

Great selection of local and local-ish products. Produce is high quality and reasonable priced. The pictures speak for themselves. Definitely worth the trip everytime we are in town

We visit every year when we drive up for the Sterling Renaissance Faire, and it's honestly almost as much of a highlight of the trip as the Faire itself. Such wonderful selection, both in variety and price, that we barely even pack food for our overnight camp-out; most of what we eat during our annual weekend we pick-up at the orchard and take with us (and always bring plenty home afterwards, too!). Wonderful produce, and delicious pastries. The first time we stumbled in almost by accident, but we've returned every year since and intend to keep coming as long as the Faire exists to bring us to the area. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

The best farm store I have ever been in. Twenty plus years I've been going there. Great coffee, great muffins, great snacks. Fresh local produce, garden supplies, a full nursery, and ornamental plants. Smiling staff who remember you from year to year.

Awesome outdoor market with alot of fresh produce and locally sourced meats. They have huge gift section and it looks to be seasonal. Nice staff plenty of parking Price are reasonable. They have a large selection of bake goods which are baked on site.

Great farm Market. Prices are a bit high. Staff very helpful. Fresh eggs, fruit and bakery items. Love the scones. Fresh herbs available as well.

The peaches from this place were the best I have ever eaten. We loaded the car up with peaches, apples, baked goods and apple cider. We ended up coming back the next day to get a few more boxes of everything. We used those peaches like currency, giving a few to the boat charter and the hotel receptionist and everyone we bumped into. Still had enough to share with family when we reached home. Definitely a highlight of the whole trip, and will be sure to visit anytime are within 50 miles.

Went to the Fall Jamboree it was a nice little event. Then went apple picking. It was a good experience went on a wagon ride, seen exotic animals. The apples are delicious

Love this place! Lots of fresh veggies fruits amish baked goods(the half moon cookies are the best) plants dirt aged cheese at the counter (excellent) seasonings beverages old fashion milk with the cream on top. And much more items. A fun place to shop and is open all year.

Classic upstate NY farmers market. Family owned. Good prices. Best in fresh fruit.

If you like home gardening. It is a great place to find a variety of choices of plants, and herbs with great prices. They also have fresh vegetables, fruits and pies - my favorite pie is black cherry.

I can’t say enough about this wonderful place. Part store part orchard part nursery. And the bakery is heaven. Feed store to boot. They have something for everyone. And did I mention the pies. Awesome just awesome.

We fell in love with Ontario Orchards as college students, and have made regular visits for more than a decade after graduating. The staff and products are fantastic.

The reenactment staff was extremely knowledgeable. I love history this was very informative. I had no clue almost 1000 people were brought here in 1945 from Italy that were fleeing German occupied countries. I definitely recommend. If I could I would give it 1000 stars.

If you like history this is a wonderful place to visit. I've been there several times, they dress in period clothes, host reenactments, share the early American historical facts as our country was shaping. There is a small cemetery off to one corner, ask about anything - the staff is very helpful in answering. Great place to bring the kids - especially so they can learn a bit about our country.

Very well maintained fort. The staff was dressed in period clothing and helpful. Very interesting history and a fun self guided tour. Great for the entire family and have a picnic in the park.

If you're a history buff, this is a neat place to spend a couple hours wandering around. The staff/ volunteers were dressed in Civil War period clothing and were knowledgeable and helpful in answering questions about the fort. There was a musket demonstration, and visitors have access to most of the buildings and areas. If there is a gift shop, it was not open the day we were there visiting. There is a historical cemetery behind the fort dating back to 1776/1783. Was sombering to see gravestones of soldiers who lost their lives for their country. Overall it was interesting to see the long and varied history of this fort.

Amazing historical site. The volunteers and staff are all history junkies and will be able to answer almost any questions regarding the facilities. I had a wonderful experience climbing the ramparts and exploring the underground structures. Some of the buildings are currently undergoing renovations, but the Fort is worth visiting for the conversations alone. Highly recommended for history junkies.

A very interesting place to visit if history is your thing. The fort and grounds are very well kept and the displays of period artifacts tell the story of the many layers of history which occurred here. The historians dressed in period clothing were very knowledgeable and provided insight into the lives of the troops stationed here over the years. Lake Ontario provides a stunning backdrop to the area as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. There is a minimal charge for visitors but the experience is well worth it.

The gentlemen inside the fort are so passionate about the history of this fort which is wonderful! Easily spend an hour exploring the fort and then another half hr exploring the grounds around.

This is a great experience for the history buff. One could easily spend a couple of hours wandering around the old fort. There are some pretty great views from the tops of the ramparts around the fort of Lake Ontario. Even my 14 year old son had fun checking out all the displays in each of the buildings. We arrived late in the day, not long before close but were told if we came earlier there would be more re-enactments throughout the day and the staff we spoke to was very knowledgeable about the fort and it’s history.

Nice Fort they are trying their best to Preserve. I loved the iPads which gave you access to extra information on artifacts. I'm sure during bigger events there are more people there to provide information. When we went there was just one person in the gift shop and one person taking admission fees. We were lucky that a couple of the part-time summer hired groundskeepers were knowledged and answered questions and provided information to make the self tour more interesting.

Fun little taste of history that can be covered in an hour or two with your kids. Longer if you can get them to stop and read the descriptions! My kids especially love the tunnels under the fort. $4 per adult, kids under 12 are free.

Very interesting place and informative about the history of the fort. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The grounds were perfect in every way. Just a beautiful and well preserved piece of history.

Unique star-shaped fort set on beautiful open water location. Plenty of history, many benches on the grounds. Maybe hospital legacy endures with the medical establishments nearby.

The history of this area is amazing and beautiful. The fort has gone through many stages over hundreds of years, including providing refuge to almost 1,000 jewish people escaping during WWII. Highly recommend

Great fun snow tubing. Me and my eleven year-old son went and we were able to do seven runs. The staff was great and made sure everything ran smoothly and quickly so everyone could get the most out of the session. We started planning on returning while we were still there.

This is a nice and family-friendly local ski area, well within 1.5hr drive from the NYC metro area. We have bought a set of 2-day passes in advance - they offer discounted youth lift tickets for kids 18 and under. Almost all of their 23 trails were open with nice packed powder throughout. There is night skiing available on Saturday nights too. With a 700’ vertical drop and a balanced combination of terrain difficulty, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun.

Shawnee is a great family mountain in North East PA. One of the things I love about it is the lodge. It hasn't changed much and in my opinion that's a good thing. It feels good when you step inside and warm up next to the huge fireplace. I've been going there since I was a kid and now I bring my kids and it makes me happy just being there. There are plenty of trails ranging from beginners all the way up to the terrain park.

I went snow tubbing this winter and it was lots of fun. It was about $46 per person for 2 hours of snow tubbing which was the cheapest of the options around nj/pa. There were multiple snow tracks to slide down and walkway that would take you to the top. The floaties are provided and everything was really organized. The drinks were really overpriced but that is expected. I recommend visiting this place if you are looking for snow tubbing. I recommend going down the hills with a friend or 4 people for the added speed! The parking was free. Overall it was a really fun afternoon and I would definitely go again.

Shawnee is a fine place to ski if you’re a beginner, but not the best if you want to do some serious, challenging skiing. The mountain is very small and you can probably do every slope within an hour. It eventually gets boring if you’re a serious skier because every slope is like a green regardless of its actual label. However, this makes it very enjoyable for those learning to ski. The prices are also quite reasonable and the staff is very friendly. The conditions weren’t the best the day I went, but they did the best they could considering the unseasonably warm weather. Overall, Shawnee is a great, family-friendly ski resort for beginners, but they’re better options for the more experienced.

Great job with snow making and grooming! Shawnee may be smaller than most Pocono mtns but they have the advantage of covering their trails quicker and deeper- and their varied terrain makes it our go-to choice for early season skiing. My son and I had a fabulous time there this past week

The best family oriented ski mountain around. Been coming here past few years from Long Island and wouldn’t go anywhere else in the poconos. Mountain is always well groomed and you can tell the staff really cares, not like others that just want to sell lift tickets. Shawnee lift ticket prices are always affordable and their lodge is the best. They don’t hassle you for leaving your gear around. Everyone you meet on the mountain always has good things to say. Food and bar are great I love the different coffees and hot chocolates. The free cookies for the first people on the weekends is always a plus! Will be coming back for years to come!

An aptly placed ski, snowboard and tubing destination on the Poconos ranges, the Shawnee never fails to excite you. The snow tubing is exciting for kids and adults alike, the skiing lessons are worth the price and effort, and the drive into the Shawnee valley is truly exhilarating. We had an amazing time and a fun filled adventure visiting the mountains.

We came for the snow tubing. It was 2pm on a Wed and not crowded at all. The staff for the tubing didn't really speak alot of English and the ones that did seem to not have a very good attitude. They did have some music playing at the top of the hill which was nice. I would not come again but go tubing at camelback and pay the little bit extra money. We did have a pretty decent time though, however some of the tunes had holes in them, so it would slow you down while tubing.

I’ve been coming here for years always good for a quick day trip. Good ski school for kids. Bar is and staff are really cool. Cafeteria food could be better. The mountain is not big but it has some good runs. Check the site first before you go though. I went 2 weeks ago not so good.

Very nice and welcoming ski area. The lift themselves are somewhat limited. Would be a great place for a 1 day visit. Has enough trails for a full day of fun including a pretty decent terrain park. Daily Ski pass prices are cheap.

Tubing review: I bought my ticket online. Peice is cheaper than nearby resorts. They have a big parking lot and the walk isn't too far. Checking in was very easy and didn't take too long. We headed over to the tubing park. The conveyer belt had an issue at first, but the staff fixed it. We went down the hill about 5 times total, and we could have done one more, but we got cold. It had just snowed the day before, so the hill was perfect. It was stepper than I was expecting. Afterward, we headed to the lodge to warm up and grab a drink. Overall, it was a great time, and I would recommend it.

We were a group of 10 skiers all first time skiers. We took the package with lessons. The lessons were great it was one hour long. The instructor was knowledgeable. The package consist of lesson, ski and u limited lift. Helmets are add on for $17.

Pretty decent mountain for first time skiers/snowboarders. Staffs are pretty nice, and helpful. Only cons is that it gets super overcrowded, it’s difficult to maneuver around when people are sitting/standing in the middle/end of the slopes and the rentals can be quite worn out. If you have your own equipment, it’ll be better. The view at the top is quite nice and beautiful and the slopes are pretty fun, I went on just the greens and blue.

Our day was great until we went to go check in for our tubing session. Despite being assured we were good to go with our tickets by 2 different employees, we were turned away at the tubing section, met with attitude, and denied help by the employee there. Claire in guest services was EXTREMELY rude and cut me off consistently when trying to explain the situation. Dan, the operations supervisor, dismissed our issue via a phone call w. Claire, then showed up and offered 0 help. No apologies were given for the way we were treated by staff or the mixup. Avoid this establishment for its poor customer service, and lack of consideration for its customers. Much better options in the area!! We won’t be back.

This place never disappoint us. We have been going there for past 3 years. Good service. Good ski area. Their snow tubing is good too. Cheaper than other places. They don't have jazzy lights or music so we save a lot of money almost half the price. And they maintain ski area and snow tubing area very well. So I like it.

Shawnee Mountain Ski Resort offers an exhilarating tubing experience! The well-maintained slopes and efficient tubing facilities make for a thrilling adventure. The friendly staff adds to the enjoyable atmosphere, ensuring a fun-filled day for both beginners and experienced tubers. Shawnee Mountain is a fantastic destination for winter enthusiasts seeking excitement and great memories on the slopes.

First time coming here, drove from Long Island! Well, it was nice. Just a regular market, I love the support of small businesses and definitely did my shopping. Coming from New York? Prices were reasonable (except the glass blowing items). My experience: was crowded and very narrow ways. Not many were wearing masks, it was an "indoor" tent, so enforcing mask mandate was not so great (vendors weren't wearing them). Entering the food court area was alright, not that much variety as advertised. It was usually the same food on every spot. I was looking for more German stuff, but the closest German thing was the mulled wine. (Ask for extra rum) After that, I sort of wonder why we paid to get into basically a mini mall. Either way, this is more of a one time thing, no reason to come again every year.

This was such a good place to go with kids and adults! The food, wine and beer were all good. There was glassblowing and ice sculptures!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

I had a great time for my bday there

I won so I'm happy.

One of my favorite places to visit in the US, and go to place for sightseeing if someone visits me in NJ..! I guess Winter is the only Season I haven't been here (thats just because they are Closed 🤦🏻‍♀️) Multiple different trails for hiking depending on comfort level and plenty of beautiful spots along the trails to sit and relax. There is also a lake and a few picnic spots outside the Falls Entrance to enjoy for free. There is also a small restaurant, an Ice Cream shop, and a Gift Shop, and plenty of parking space available. Restrooms get quite messy during peak season though, and they don't maintain it that well.

It’s a beautiful place very easy trail to view the falls! We can take other trails to view few more falls over there but they all are dried up when I visited.

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

What a beautiful place, red trail is extremely difficult but worth it. (We completed it) The price is absolutely rediclous for a public park, family of 4 will cost nearly $50.

Excellent day trip from Philly to Poconos. A solid 2 hour drive from the city to the mountains. Visited Falls on a Memorial Day arriving at noon. The crowd size was manageable and there was an employee directing parking/traffic. Tickets were purchased onsite and the wait was about 10 minutes. Its probably best to purchase tickets online because there’s a separate line for pre-purchased tickets. At time of review, regular ticket price was $18/adult. A Gen-Xer and a Baby Boomer decided to walk the main/popular trail first. Moderate walking and stopping/waiting to take pictures at optimal locations, it took about 30-35 minutes to walk the trail. Feeling good about the walk, we decided to walk the Bridal Veils Falls. Note: there were ample signage advising this trail is “hikers” and “non-hikers” should return to the main trail. Other hikers who has just walked the Bridal Veil Falls trail mentioned there were nicer views and more water falls. We are definitely non-hikers and we decided to proceed onward. The trail was challenging and the terrain was a mix of wooden steps and unleveled rocks/sticks. On this visit, the trail was muddy in certain areas so be sure to wear proper footwear. You can access/enter Bridal Veil at different points. We noticed that entering at the beginning of the park, the trail is more up-hill walk as opposed to walking the main trail and then accessing Bridal Veil once inside the park. This access point provided more downhill walking. The only climb was toward the end and it was all stairs. While we finished the walk in an hour (stopping for pictures and rest), it took about an hour to walk Bridal Veil trail. It was a great day to get out and about. The park was clean, visitors were pleasant, and even though it was a 90 degree day, once inside the park, the shade of the trees and spray of the water from Falls, made it a very comfortable walk. Remember your camera and have fun.

Stunning place , amazing views and loved all the trails. The only thing ,I would probably limit more the access of people as some days the place is so crowded!

Great weekend activity. Best to enjoy nature and moderate level of track. They have 4 level of difficulty for trail for visitors.

This is very beautiful park with trials suiting to all age group. This was my third trip in as many year’s and this place never disappoints.

Bushkill Falls is one of the best outdoor activities in the Delaware Water Gap region. The hiking park features 8 waterfalls and miles of trails for easy hiking for kids and adults. Pets are allowed. It is totally worth the $18 entry fee (for adults). There is also other things to do outside of the park area including a maze for kids, a small historical exhibit, a store, and a snack bar. There is also a picnic area with tables and grills. I would say this is definitely something you need to do when visiting Stroudsburg or the Delaware Water Gap. The falls are all beautiful especially when there has been rain. Plan to spend about 2-3 hours here if you’re taking your time. We did the long hike and it took about 1.5 hours. We were able to see every waterfall (see pictures).

One of the coolest setups for a trail/step walk around waterfalls. Still pretty challenging as the steps take you up and down the terrain, also allowing for different viewing angles. Definitely check out the map and pick the trails accordingly. Also nicely done with bathrooms, snack shop, and souvenir shop. There are times for some extra activities for younger ones. Some people complain about walking through public lands.... but I am pretty sure it is private property. The cost is around $18 per person, but it's very clean, well maintained, and well labeled. I've been in the past in the fall, and it is really nice also. Especially late in the fall when you might find some frost. Bring a camera!

Very nice place to walk around with family and pets. Well maintained trails, beautiful scenic bridges around the falls.

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

Buskhil Falls boasts a stunning waterfall with four diverse trails. We had the pleasure of visiting last Friday, when the fall foliage was in full display – a truly breathtaking experience. It's important to note that parents with strollers should be aware that they are not permitted on any of the four trails due to the numerous stairs around the waterfall. However, this restriction adds an adventurous element to the visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The trails vary in length, ranging from a quick 15-minute jaunt to over an hour, depending on your preference and the composition of your group. The only drawback we noticed was the relatively high entry fees, which stood at $17 for adults on weekdays and $20 on weekends. For families with children over four years old, an additional $10 per child is required. This pricing may seem steep, but it could be a deliberate strategy by management to control the crowd. On the positive side, there are ample dining options available, including a gift shop and canteen offering snacks. The restrooms are clean, and there is an abundance of free parking space, making it a convenient and pleasant visit. Please refer to the attached photo for pricing details. For larger families, the entry fees might pose a challenge, but the overall experience and facilities make Buskhil Falls worth the trip.

Beautiful hike…. We were a group of 5 from NYC with two dogs and we all had an amazing time. The gift shop has some nice stuff and is reasonably priced as well!

We visited Bushkill falls this weekend and it was beautiful! Hike: We chose a rainy day to visit the falls and so we picked the popular yellow trail (45 minutes loop). Well laid out wooden steps guide you to 3 different falls. You can even move slightly off the path to the red trail for some additional great views. The main falls were the most gorgeous! I would classify the yellow path as 'Easy' to climb. We paid $20 to enter the trails. Parking: They have a large parking lot. Do not forget to visit the twin lakes that are between the parking lot and entrance gate. The fall foliage there is even prettier than at the falls. Others: There is a native Indian museum by the parking lot that was beautiful. We bought some fudge that tasted amazing and we also tried a pizza at the gift shop! There is gem mining but that was closed on the day we went. Lots of people bought rain coats at the gift shop. There are clean restrooms available as well. Overall, it was a lovely 2 hours that we spent at Bushkill falls to see the fall colours, despite the heavy rain!

Great place to relax while you’re hiking. I have just went to there after 2 pm and general ticket area was closed. I got the ticket from souvenir shop. You’ll have time to visit the place until 5 pm. It’s worth to see if you have never been there. I want to hike in Bushkill falls during spring and summer time which is much nicer than right now. However, price is $17 on weekdays and $20 on weekends. It should be much cheaper to get it or they should start membership for people who want to hike and walk in this place more frequently. Do not forget to get water and follow the instructions!

Multiple levels of falls but with good viewing platforms. Some places require careful footing if it has rained recently. We'll marked paths.

This is a great place to walk around and see some waterfalls and other natural beauty in the Pocono mountains. Much of the trails are wooden boardwalks . Awesome day trip. If you love nature and waterfalls, this is a must see .

Beautiful waterfalls!! Loved the gift shops!! Friendly staff!! I recommend the red trail, it's a pain in the beginning but in the end it does get easy! If you do the red trail you do see all 8 waterfalls!! I recommend coming when they opened at 9am, we got there at 9:20.. Less people and you can take your time and take pictures. By noon is was so packed! When we got done by 11:30-Noon, ate our lunch people were actually waiting in line to go into the falls and purchasing tickets! Definitely recommend getting tickets online and wear shoes/boots have good grips, some of the wooden steps are extremely slippery!! Be extra careful!! Definitely worth the trip!!

Nice nature walk with plenty of beautiful waterfalls. The more challenging trail has a few physically demanding parts, but nothing too strenuous. Plan your adventure accordingly as the grounds can become very crowded.

This whole park is absolutely GORGEOUS and worth the admission price once you realize how much work is put into it and all that you get to see. I highly recommend the red trail. don't let the reviews scare you! The worst inclines you will face are the stairs. There are most definitely A LOT of stairs but you will have them regardless which trail you take. The actual terrain isn't so bad. You might as well take it all in! I would also recommend aiming for early on a weekday. It seems like it gets pretty crowded after noon, which would definitely take a lot away from the experience. Maybe they should try timed entry to space people out. 🤔

Awesome experience. Hearing the lengths these people went to in order to go e these wolves a healthy a life as possible was very comforting. They're people who genuinely care about their cause. Of course, the wolves were amazing to see. Definitely take a trip and see!

Good for kids, very nice park. Animal donations are accepted. Highly recommend. Parking free,restrooms,gift shop. If possible help animals.

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

I've been to the Lakota Wolf Preserve twice now. I did the very crowded bus tour on the weekend and after that visit I scheduled a private photography tour. The couple running the preserve is very nice and incredibly knowledgeable about their wolves. They've done an amazing job at providing the wolves with a properly sized natural environment and by making sure that the wolves in each of the quadrants are compatible with each other. I loved both of my opportunities. However, the private photography tour was an amazing experience as it was just myself and one of the owners with all the wolves. It was so awesome that I will likely plan another private visit sometime in the future.

The owners' love and respect for animals was so inspiring. I could listen to them (Becky and Jim) teach us about wolves, lynxes, bobcats, and foxes all day long! They are both incredibly entertaining, kind, and knowledgeable. The 15 minute hike up is doable but it is uphill and some may find the shuttle option preferable. Travel tip - the campground restrooms by the parking lot are very clean!

A really fantastic experience! We took the first adults-only tour ever offered (without realizing) and it was wonderful. We couldn't believe how close the wolves came – what a treat it was to hear them all howling in unison. Jim and Becky's dedication to the animals at the preserve (including the beautiful cats and foxes) shines through and we really enjoyed learning from them. They do a great job on the educational presentations and work tirelessly to keep the animals safe and healthy. Truly remarkable people. Highly recommend!!!

Great up close experience. You still not interact with the wolves, but you will see and appreciate then. The owners are very knowledgeable, experienced and more than willing to interact with the crowd. Their wild cats are a great attractive as well. Highly recommended. For us, the hour drive was a great addition and added to the adventure. Dress comfortably.

Outstanding wolf preserve! The owners are the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met when it comes to wildlife and their animals! I’m a huge wildlife advocate, but had no idea about some of the knowledge they gave me on the tour. Beautiful animals and land. The animals are well taken care of and truly loved. I do wish I could have seen the rest of the wolves up close, but I understand why I couldn’t. Jersey has strict laws and I believe the owners may be fed up with little kids here or should I say their caregivers! This is my opinion only. There were kids when I was there and they were jamming sticks through the first fence that separates the humans from wolves, Thank God they have a second fence. Crying and screaming kids ruined the entire experience for half my tour. The wolves get scared and stay away from the fence where you can see them. The only reason I could get a great look at them is because the owners brought treats out and the wolves ran up to the looking area where you could see them. I can’t not believe how rude some parents are. If you’re going to bring kids here. Please make sure your kids are respectful of previous wildlife. Teach your kids to be quiet and pay attention to what they’re learning instead of jamming sticks in the fence as well as run up and down the fence screaming and smacking the fence. It’s bad enough most humans could care less about wildlife and have no idea the beauty and importance of it. If you’re touring a wolf preserve I hope you actually care and want to change the future for wildlife instead of using this for pure entertainment and something to put on your FB page for likes. I also hope the owners put an age limit on kids. Maybe a 10 year old well behaved kid or make it 12 so the kids are acting like they should be behind the fence not the wolves. As you can tell. I was completely annoyed with the misbehaved kids here. FIY I have 2 autistic girls, 1 severe 1 w/ Asperger’s and I had to leave my severe daughter home w/ my husband so she didn’t upset the tour or animals and then I see the typical kids were worse behaved then either one of my disabled kids. Sadly the daughter I left home loves wolves and would have been in heaven , but since I have am respectful of the wolves and other people I made her stay home sadly. My Asperger’s daughter put the typical kids to shame here. She was quiet, took pictures and absorbed all the knowledge of the owners like a sponge . Please control your kids, especially if you’re a teacher or group leader in charge of your kids. Which they weren’t . Where’s the respect. Yes I ranted and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see the wolves with out screaming misbehaved kids! All in all the beauty of the wolves, knowledge of owners as well as love of owners made it a great your minus the kids

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

Good people. They really love and care about those creatures. Who wouldn’t? Wolves are amazing!! Not very big, but we’ll laid out. I was very happy with the tour and Wolf exposure. Saw all of the wolves and had a great time. They also have foxes, bobcat, & lynx

My pictures don't do these gorgeous animals justice! I strongly encourage you to visit Lakota Wolf Preserve. Jim and Becky are fantastic. I was enthralled by their knowledge and passion. The animals clearly respect and trust their humans! Highly recommended!

This was a really awesome place. Both James and Becky were fantastic and got to learn a lot about wolves that I personally did not know, and the effort that they put in is mind-boggling. Also, one has to attend the presentation by Becky on the lynx and bobcat and fox. It is so educational. Fantastic job by both of them. Really awesome job guys.

Privately run refuge for several species of wolves. Brought there because of injury or illness. There are also a couple of foxes as well as bobcat and linx. Extremely wonderful experience, informative and fun. Great for kids and adults. The relatively small fee goes towards the expense of caring for these animals. I highly recommend!

We drove almost 4 hours to check out the wolf preserve and it was completely worth it! We really enjoyed the walk to the preserve and it is a beautiful area. The two owners of the wolf preserve are fantastic teachers and we really enjoyed their presentation. The animals are beautiful and you can tell that the owners treat them with love. I totally recommend the visit. The only thing I want to mention is that the gift shop where you park is NOT affiliated with the wolf preserve and they are very rude. I wanted to buy some souvenirs but I would not patronize their business. Thank you to the Lakota Wolf Preserve for what you do!

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

We had so much fun! We arrived at 2:30 for the tour which started at 3:00, (some people arrived late but they were accommodating) and we then had the option to either take a shuttle up to the preserve or hike up there (like a 10 minute hike). Once there, Jim and his wife Becky showed us the wolves and gave us an incredible amount of information ranging from their habits, to when their mating season is, their quirks, and why they started looking after wolves in the first place. Super informative and interesting. They fed them treats and even got them to howl for us! So cool! Afterward we went to look at their bobcat, lynx, and foxes, and that's when Becky took over and talked about them (Jim had done all the talking about the wolves). We ended up doing the adult only tour, there's also a tour that includes kids. They do these tours regardless of the weather, so we were really happy that it was a sunny and beautiful day! Also, there's no physical interaction with the wolves in case you're wondering, which isn't surprising, these are wild animals, not pets. But you DO get a nice close look at them. Highly recommended! 10/10!

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

What an incredible experience! Stories were swapped, knowledge was shared! My sister and I are already excited about our next visit. I love them all but Sassa really has my heart.

Great Experience and very informative. I didn't want to over post to spoil anything. 1 thing I will say, hearing the Wolf Pack Howl together in person is Amazing !

Beautiful wolves that cannot be released into the wild are well cared for with much thought in as close to a wild life they can have. Wonderful owners and volunteers. So glad there are people and places like this.

My husband and I went to the wolf preserve on Thursday morning and we were both happy we went. The wolves appear to be well taken care of and they were responsive to the owner. We were surprised the wolves howled on command and I was pleased I was able to video it. The bobcat and the lynx were fun to watch and it was nice to learn about all of the animals. The restrooms near the parking lot were clean. We have encouraged family and friends to consider visiting the Lakota Wolf Preserve.

What an absolutely gorgeous place to visit ! Although it isn't a lengthy trail, the views back & forth was so worth the trip ! The stream was so peaceful, the sound of the water was incredible. You can just sit, listen & enjoy nature. Nice that most of the the trail is laid out in wood so makes it easier for those who cannot walk on rocky surfaces & plenty of seating along the way. When you arrive at the Falls it is a spectacular view, again you're able to sit on a bench & eat your lunch or just relax & listen ! There isn't too much when you go past this point but it's beautiful as well, nature photo ops are endless as you hike towards the top of the falls. Worth every moment !!

If you're looking for free, public waterfall views, this is the place to go. As a part of the National Park Service, Dingman Falls is free to access and wheelchair accessible. The parking lot is large, and there is a level and well-maintained boardwalk all the way from the parking lot to the falls. There is a network of other trails and boardwalks that connect to the main walk, all varying in accessibility. There are also public restrooms and an information center that is open during the summer. The road to the park is paved, but very uneven, so lower cars may have trouble entering.

There is a way to access Dingman Falls through the Dingman Falls visitor center however the gps brought us to a small road about a mile away from the falls. We then walked from the car down a train and ended up at the top of the falls. So glad we ended up finding that little hike! Beautiful!

This has been one of our “go to” walks for decades! It is always a pleasure year round. ( Although in the winter you have to park outside the site and walk in about 3/4 mile to get to the trail head.) The NPS does an excellent job of maintaining the wheelchair accessible walkway from the parking lot to the main attraction, Dingman’s Falls. As an added bonus, for those fit enough to tackle steep stairs, you can climb up a well maintained trail to the top of the falls.

This was a great day 5/16 the falls was actually running if there is a drought you won’t see water but best time to see if we get a couple days of rain summer weekends are packed there is limited parking best time to go is in the morning

A great waterfall to come to if you have young children or elderly family members, since the hike is very short: 0.3 miles one way on a wooden boardwalk to see both waterfalls. Then an optional 0.1 miles to go up the steps to the top of Dingmans falls if you want. The gift shop if good and the park rangers are nice too.

Great place to walk when you have a baby in a stroller or someone in a wheelchair no stairs required to see the falls But you could go up up a lot of stairs if you want to see different views.

Absolutely beautiful. Anyone can complete the walk to the falls, and you'll pass a smaller one on the way too. For those who want to, you can also take stairs all the way to the top of the waterfall. Highly recommend

very nice 130' Waterfall. We accessed it from the Doodle Hollow Road and the trail is hard to follow and not marked. It's about a 1-mile hike from the road closure to the falls it a beautiful, forested area. There is some elevation you'll have to get over using this route. Trail is moderate to difficult. The Falls themselves are very impressive. Once at the falls the area is well maintained with about a 13 story set of steps up/down the falls with very nice viewing areas on the top and bottom.

Worth the visit! This boardwalk hike from the parking lot is about 3 miles round trip. The road to the visitors center is closed, however there is plenty of parking before the road closure.

Pretty falls with a well laid out walking track plus a bonus waterfall to see! The Dingmans falls visitor centre was closed for the season when we visited, so we had to park about 1 mile away and walk to the falls. It was a pleasant walk along Dingmans creek. Once the trail began, we first caught the silver thread waterfalls and after walking for another 10 minutes we reached the Dingmans falls. The benches opposite the falls were a great place to sit and admire the roaring waterfall.

Dingmans Waterfall is a beautiful, easy-to-reach spot with a well-maintained boardwalk. You can get there in just 15-20 minutes, and it's stroller-friendly for families. If you want to get closer, there are steps available. We visited during the fall season, and it was absolutely breathtaking with colorful trees and the waterfall. Plus, entry is free! There's plenty of free parking, but please note that the visitor center was closed for the season. Portable toilets are conveniently located at the start of the trail.

When it’s open this place is great- they don’t keep it updated on maps at all. If you’re with young kids it’s a long walk from the road if the visitors center is closed. If it’s open and they aren’t working on the footpath it’s a simple stroll. The waterfalls are well worth a visit

Amazing views! The park is well taken care of. At the dingmans fall there is the silver stream fall which is the first one you will see and as you walk further in you get to the dingmans fall. It is an immense fall creating so much mist. You will definetly get wet. The dingmans fall reminds me of the Niagara falls mist. This was an amazing amazing experience. Just gotta warn you that there are so many steps to get to the top of the dingmans fall. But once your there you will be in awe. Worth going and seeing it.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. This is a must see!! With wooden paths straight to the waterfall it is the easiest and most convenient hike.

Awesome little gem! Easy to reach, easy to access, and a beautiful sight. Great for family time or a quick couple's getaway and right in the Poconos. The boarded walkway is nicely done and gives you the right looks to enjoy the falls. Pretty flat, so accessible to those with wheelchairs and walkers. If you can do the stairway without assistance, I'd suggest following it up. Although fairly steep and with narrower steps, you'll be rewarded with a bird's eye view from the top of the falls. Check it out! Totally worth it!

An amazing falls with well maintained area by NPS, with easily accessible location. Trails to falls are wheelchair accessible and neatly maintained. Wheel chair accessible trail leads to bottom of the falls for an amazing viewpoint. From there you have bit of steep stairs to access top of the falls to have a view. Personally the best view is from the bottom , sound of water fall was amazing with surreal feel. Parking area is enough for about 60 cars and the welcome center is closed on off season. There were mobile toilets about 4 in location. No water accessible to take a dip. Rest benches are located all along the trail and about 3 benches bottom of the falls to experience the fall view. Trash cans are available on parking. Not sure about the refreshments availability but surely bring water. Trail itself is easy to do and kids friendly. Along the trail you will see silver thread falls which is about 150 feet from parking lot. Did not find any picnic benches though. All in all a well worth place to visit with friends and family. Cellphone signals is off in many spots but from parking you might get signals based on your provider.

It’s beautiful place for everyone . I recommend it especially for family with strollers.

I first completed this trail on May 22, 2022, and it's such a beautiful and easy trail to hike/ walk! The trail is made up of a wide boardwalk, with hand railings for most of the journey. There are quite a few shady spots, as well as a ton of benches / seating options provided throughout the trail. The shade and rest areas are such a great addition and really come in handy on super hot days and for anyone who may have trouble walking for long periods of time.The trail is very well kept and I really loved reading all of the information plaques / signs posted throughout. The first waterfall you come across is the Silver Thred Falls, and the second is Digmans Falls - both are gorgeous and unique. When you reach the second (last) falls, there are stairs you can take to continue traveling upwards, which gives you the opportunity to view Dingman’s Falls and the surrounding area from above! Be warned, though, there can be a lot of stairs if you choose to travel up the staircase at the end by the second waterfall. So if stairs are difficult for you, you might want to pass on them. This is a great family place, or even just to explore on your own, and there's no entrance fee! The bathrooms at the entrance (at the end of the parking lot) worked, but the water fountain did not, and the information building was closed when I last visited. Please keep in mind that the following are prohibited : - 🚫 Pets (with the exception of working dogs) - 🚫 Swimming - 🚫 Grilling / Ground Fires - 🚫 Alcohol - 🚫 Camping

Although I lived within driving distance for years this was the first time I came here. The interior was closed because of the pandemic however we towards the grounds which were very nice. It has a beautiful view of high point and the Kittatiny mountains.. They have a very impressive one-of-a-kind in the world floating dinner table. The guests sit on the outside and the food is passed across the water to the person who needs the food. The place is well maintained. Very respectable but not over the top extravagant like the breakers in Rhode Island. The bathrooms as you walk in from the parking lot are very clean and well maintained. Take some time to walk the grounds to see the amphitheater and the cemetery.

We went for the eclipse event and it was amazing. So well run. The staff were so welcoming and answered all our questions. The house was beautiful and the grounds were spectacular. We would definitely visit again. We had a great time.

This really is a neat gem. I had no idea this was even here and I've lived in the Poconos my whole life. Easy to get there, nice parking area, and very well kept for a historic building. Unfortunately, the indoor tours are not currently running. I was hoping that the rangers would be giving scheduled story telling but it was more of a Q&A

Our tour guide did an excellent job giving us the background of the place , shared stories of the family , and shared his personal story on how he became Grey Towers tour guide. Very well spoken and knowledgeable about the times the estate was built. As a history major in University his thesis was on the estate. I recommend this tour not only because of it architectural significance but to also learn about trees.

Beautiful, quiet spot on a sunny winter day. Considering how nice the grounds look off-season, we will be back once everything is in bloom. The building was closed as expected but looks wonderful from the outside.

Beautiful grounds, knowledgeable and friendly guides, highly recommend! But if you're interested in walking around inside the building, check with them for latest Covid regulations, because we weren't allowed inside the building yet. Plenty to look at outside, though. So much landscaping and architectural detail! Clean and easy access bathrooms as well. If you want to tour the interesting cemetery, apply bug spray first.

Absolutely loved it. It was So beautiful walking around the grounds and castle. The staff was continuously giving out information about the castle and surroundings which was really enjoyable. I highly recommend going.

Went here not knowing what to expect. From the first steps up the path to the château atop, we felt immersed in the natural atmosphere of the place! The grounds have numerous well tended trees, and a guide to them all, of which we only got to experience a fraction in our short time frame, but we're going to go back again some time. The house itself, and the immediate grounds around it, are subject of a tour the park service will give you. We arrived before the official start of the tours for the year, but they were, to our delight, doing a soft opening. The $10 a person for a knowledgeable guide, who not only presented incredible information on the people, home, grounds, and the national forest service itself were more than worth it. When you've had your day at the park, the little town of Milford below is an excellent destination for lunch, dinner, ice cream, or some odd shopping at little stores, as well.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful! I learned so very much about the Pinchot family history. And of course the importance of forest conservation. Thank you Mary Ann for a wonderful tour. A must see, if you're in the area.

Great place taken care of by US Forest Service. Took the tour, very informative. Very interesting grounds, what the wealthy can do is limited only by the technology of that time. Dog friendly grounds, also no photo restrictions. Check their website for questions.

This place is beautiful. It is free to walk the grounds, garden and most buildings except the main mansion that requires a timed tour. In one building they had a 20 minute video on Gifford Pinchot and various artifacts. Great place to wander and enjoy the views. There is a small gift shop which is also where you get tickets for the tour.

Beautiful place. Stonework is amazing. Nice parking area. Paved trails around the property. Landscape is meticulously kept. Quiet and peaceful place. Close to the interstate.

Beautiful French Chateau style Mansion, Formerly the home of the Pinchot Family located in Beautiful Milford Pennsylvania, now a preserved museum with a lot of history. Visits outside of the property are free with lots of renovations and multiple hiking trails. The guided tour inside the mansion is only $10 per person and is recommended. You can watch the 20-minute film for free at the Bait Box, which will give you a sneak preview of what you will see inside.

Great spot. We did not do the formal tour but wandered around the grounds on our own. Very beautiful. The outdoor dining area was my favourite

We have been to Grey Towers multiple times we love it there! The amazing views, history and architecture make it worth a visit. They have a place to picnic and clean bathrooms( the whole property is very clean and maintained) We haven’t tried the mansion tour yet.

A wonderful tour of an old family's home in Milford. Loved that they were one rich family that didn't own slaves to build their wealth. Then they donated most of their money. Beautiful views a must-see.

Walked around the grounds, it was lovely! Ran into a tour guide and learned so many interesting things. We plan to return with the kiddos! The inside tour would absolutely be worth it, wish we'd had more time. Ladies in the gift shop/ ticket counter were super friendly and informative too. Be sure to check out the cemetery and upper forestry school trail too!

Unexpectedly short trail but super impressive waterfall. Definitely worth visiting. Other trails in Delaware Water Gap area were closed for the season, but this one is open and it was great. Must be looking awesome when frozen, or in fall foliage season

Beautiful waterfalls in the lap of the Delaware water gap reserve. We have visited with our toddler 👦 during fall colors🍁, as easy to access because of shortest trail paths. We went only the down side path as suggested it is the nearest and easy accessible. Parking is bit challenge. Washrooms are available. I did not find great picnic spots around with kids as most of the surfaces are rough and slope. We can easily spend an hour and half with kids.

Last Saturday was my first time there and I will be back for sure. The waterfalls are amazing. No need to hike. Two parking lots are available. One restroom was open.

Raymondskill Falls is a short hike from the parking lot. The trail is gravel and there are handrails for the steeper sections. The waterfalls were beautiful and gushing on this May day. Well worth seeing!

Decent view and not difficult to go down the stairs to see the waterfall. It’s slippery in winter. But you can not contact the water, you are warped by fences, and it is prohibited to cross it.

Absolutely beautiful waterfalls! And a very small hike to get there! So many times I've hiked a good ways to get to what people call waterfalls and they're like rapid rivers. These were actual falls and fairly tall ones. Then you can take a nice hike to more (that weren't as big but we're just as pretty) and some great overlooks. Also, there were many types of mushrooms growing along the paths to the other falls/overlooks.

Simple beautiful! Perfect for an early hike and the views are incredible. The sound of the water is so relaxing! I was there early and had a great time.

Wow, what a cool waterfall! The trail is relatively short and definitely worth it! If it is wet out, be ready for the rocks to be a little slippery. The main waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania. It can be viewed from above or base of the waterfall. There are stairs involved if wanting to view the waterfall from above. While at the base, check out the left side of the boardwalk to find another little bonus waterfall! Great part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to visit. There seem to be 2 parking areas, with one having a flatter and more accessible area.

Very peaceful. I am a lover of waterfalls. I really enjoyed this one. What to expect: You will have to drive down a shared road. Take your time there are A LOT of pot holes. There is an area you can pull into people are in and out. There are A LOT of bugs. There is a trail and you will have to climb steps. There are warning signs everywhere about black bears.

First a warning! On weekends and holidays in the summer you cannot park at the falls lot. You have to park at Milford knob lot and catch the (free) trolley down. Now that that is covered, the falls are a nice hike. The trails are nicely maintained and there are wooden overlooks at the falls. It has changed quite a bit since I last visited. Back when I was a kid you could go into the water, sit by the edge and there used to be more trails down to the multiple levels of falls, However that's long in the past. You can't swim, fish or camp. 95% of the trail is fenced in now with no way to even touch the water. But there is still plenty of fun to be had! Great place to watch wildlife of all sorts. Frogs, efts, toads, deer, and birds. We even saw a black bear! (I was grateful for the fence then.)

Wow! What a beautiful waterfall! We went to visit this fall when we where in town so happy we stopped and checked it out , it was so amazing the beautiful scenery and the water crashing down was so amazing! What a view ! Be aware the sign says you do share the area with black bears !!! Be safe !!!

The trails are ice covered and rather treacherous in spots...you really do need good boots, ice spikes and some trekking poles to see the falls safely between now and the next snow melt...but having said that...the falls are flowing beautifully!

They're 3 waterfalls to see all in the same area. It's a a good hike to the top. But, you don't have to go to the very top to see them all. Great view.

Nice, short walk on a winter afternoon. Be careful of roots etc. as you make your way down. Will be back in warmer weather when I bet this place will be packed. Lot was almost full in February.

Raymondskill Falls is Pennsylvania's tallest waterfall. Only a short hike from the parking area is required to view the stunning three-tiered waterfall. Date of visit - 03/16/2024

Beautiful falls. A quick walk. Uneven trail but not very hard!

An amazing falls and easily accessible for many age. Parking is bit rougher and on busy days on site parking is not allowed. You have to park your car in Milford knob and shuttle will take you to parking near Raymond skill falls area. Distance from Milford knob to Raymond skill is 3 mile one way and there is a trail you can do. As such distance from Raymond skill parking to upper cascade is .2 mile and round trip would be .4 mile. There are two ways you can go to falls , one which takes on right side of restroom area will take you to top and from there you can down on rock steps (for some it might be a challenge and Rainy days it might be slippery). One which on left side of restroom area was gravel paved walking path and can take stroller too. There is benches on the way not a lot of benches but few in the trail and on spot of water falls. There was portable potty toilet on parking, also there is a restroom but was closed instead there was a portable potty.(May be due to long weekend). Water looks bit dirty and swimming is not allowed. We witnessed a bear and baby bear nearby parking and so consider while planning. There is no picnic table or area so may not advice on bringing food here. There is a trash cans on the parking area. Shuttle take approx 10 min one way and the last shuttle is 4 pm from knob to parking. This time might Various and check before you plan.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Fell in love with this theatre! Drove 70 miles from Staten Island to see Todd Rundgren, not a bad seat in the house, sound was on point! Concessions were not at all expensive like most venues and free parking on weekends in the nearby municipal lots! Plus the staff were all polite and welcoming. As someone in the arts, it's great to see a venue run professionally, kudos to the management!

I've only been here once, recently (this past Friday night), to see Pudlles Pity Party with my family (we were a group of 5, one being a minor). Part of our party arrived a little late. The staffed kindly allowed us to sit in some empty seats that wouldn't require anyone getting up for us to use them until intermission, when we could access our actual seats without disturbing anyone. The staff was very kind and helpful. This theater is sort of small, but you can clearly see the stage from anywhere you sit in the audience, which I love. The lines to the bathroom got pretty long, which I suppose is common, but unfortunately, there were only two bathroom stalls to use. I suppose that's not a major deal since, as I mentioned earlier, this theater is on the smaller side. They were kept clean, and the lines went quickly, thankfully. They also serve alcohol and some snacks here. It was my family's first time being here and seeing Puddles Pity Party live, and we all loved it!

It is a charming older venue that provides great local entertainment. There is no parking lot dedicated to the venue, so you have to search the municipal lots and streets. The ladies' room has only two stalls. We have always seen performances here that are top notch!

Fantastic concert venue! Around 600 seats. Every seat is a great seat!

Great experience. Every show I've seen here has been excellent. Great staff, great shows. Be prepared for expensive drinks if you want to have a cocktail or a beer ($15/16oz beer + tip so figure $18-20 for a can of Murphy's Stout). $12 for a domestic can and $15+ tip for a "drink" drink (gin and tonic, etc). Bathrooms are clean for the most part, and every seat is a good seat, however, the closet to the stage you can get, the better. If you're handicapped (wheelchair bound) they have space for you front row stage right and no stairs necessary. Their ticket prices are generally very very good. Great bands, shows, comedy acts etc, but be sure to come early for parking. If you're not familiar with the area parking can be a challenge as they don't have a lot. It's all street parking. I strongly recommend the Newton Theatre for many reasons. Check out their lineup if you don't believe me. They get serious artists (Kenny Wayne Shepard for example) we saw "The Machine" (Am amazing Pink Floyd cover band tonight (for about $60/ticket!). Great show.

Its a really great theatre and they get really good national acts. Small enough that there's not a bad seat in the house. Staff is friendly.

Great entertainment with the nicest people to help you settle into a great experience. The best part is no matter how badly you sing along with the show, they DON'T ask you to leave. My first show since 1969 and I had the greatest time of my life as did, from what I saw, so did the whole audience. I already purchased tickets for 3 more shows. Tomorrow I'll be calling to see if there is room for one more volunteer.

I would highly recommend this venue, it's a small theater and every seat is great. So if your favorite band is going to be there I would grab up tickets!

I seen Lita Ford there on August 4th. She rocked and her band was awesome. Drum solo by Bobby Rock was amazing. Great little theater and not a bad seat in the house. The staff is very nice. Would definitely go back there.

A good time was had by all! Live music is back and I’m so happy to have it close to home!

Great little local theater, surprisingly attracting some popular acts at reasonable rates. Caveat, I'm not sure who handles the sound system, performer crew or theater crew but last Friday we had to leave the Genisis show before intermission due to the excessive instrumental volume. Couldn't here the singer and our ears were numbing. Not worth damaging our ears . Bring ear protection for rock acts.

My wife and I went to the Big Apple Comedy show last night and it was great. Non- stop laughing for 2 1/2 hours. Theater is very clean and the staff is excellent. Will definitely be back for future shows.

We thoroughly enjoyed "Let’s Hang On"! Even sitting near the back of the balcony we could hear every note. Viewing performers was a bit difficult with a tall man seated in front of me, but it was okay.

Great little theater! Reasonable prices and great variety of performers. Staff is always very helpful and enthusiastic. No parking on site, but public parking in town is free after 6pm. 2 lots are within 2 blocks. As always, another wonderful show tonight!

My granddaughter (4) and youngest daughter (13) were trampled, shoved and pushed at an event. Security did nothing. Our front row seats meant nothing and we were forced to leave early for our own safety. Mgmt’s response was you attended a concert. What a joke! Beware when purchasing tickets. Safety is not a priority. So much for a “community theater”.

Great little theater! Well staffed and very clean. They have two small bars, no mixed drinks just beer and Trulys. The building is historic so just know the bathrooms only have two stalls and there is always a line for the mens and ladies rooms.

We had an enjoyable time during our first visit to the Sand Castle Winery. The building has a castle design and is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a good selection of wines and we chose the semi-sweet Riesling. It was still a bit sweet but our favorite choice among the other available wines. We also purchased the cheese and fruit plate which is a must-have! It was excellent and included four different cheeses, crackers, grapes and even a loaf cake. Overall a pleasant experience and we will certainly be back.

We had an amazing wine tasting. Tyler hosted us. He was super Informative and fun. The wines were wonderful. And of course, we walked out with 6 bottles. Looking forward to coming back in the spring.

Unforgettable Tasting Experience at Sand Castle Winery Sand Castle Winery provided the best wine tasting experience I've ever had – and I've been to quite a few wineries, even around the Finger Lakes! Our guide, Scott, was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience feel like a delicious adventure. My wife and I joined another couple, and we all had an absolute blast. I'm typically not a fan of dry wines, but Sand Castle Winery transformed my opinion. Their dry wines were so incredibly fruity and smooth, I loved every single one. Sam was also fantastic, helping us pack up our case of wine to take home!! Thank you Sand Castle 🥂

We arrived at Sand Castle winery about 10 mins prior to our reservations and were greeted by Brian and Scott as soon as we walked in. Scott hosted our tasting and was very engaging and knowledgeable with not just their products but with a fair knowledge of wine in general. He made the experience worth it and for the price it was well worth it! We had 12 tastings of their wines at $20 and lasted approximately an hour. The outside seating and views were refreshing and we would love to come back again when the area is in full bloom. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area. Cheers!

I came about 10 mins before closing I did a quick tasting but it was delicious! The wines are a great selection and when you go outside the views and how quiet it is it’s beautiful! I got the dessert wine ! The space upstairs it absolutely beautiful and the views are so nice!

Came here to sample some wine. There was plenty to choose from. Some I really liked and others not so much but that is my personal preference.

My daughter (far end) surprised me (in the hat) with a birthday visit to the Sand Castle winery and it was a great treat. My sister and niece were the ultimate surprise. Our host, Brian was the absolute BEST! His humor and knowledge of their wines, and food pairings had me captivated. I was all giggles. Brian went above and beyond to, not only recommend a restaurant not too far away, but to sketch directions, roads and all. The only things missing were longitude and latitude coordinates (he has serious artistic skills 🥰). I will definitely be making a return visit! Perhaps on one of their comedy happy hour nights. You gotta love the Cuvee!!!!! Best wine ever…

We went 4 of us to a wine tasting. 12 types of wine are part of the tasting plan. Tyler our server was excellent. We had a great time and a lot of fun. Sand Castle is a gorgeous place with fabulous views of the vineyards and the countryside. Excellent wines.

We had a lovely visit! We stopped by for the tasting and got to try 12 wines. 🍷🥴 The host was a fountain of cooking tips, wine pairings, and historical information. Definitely a fun afternoon!

Our 1st time visiting Sand Castle Winery and not disappointed at all. When we drove up the drive and turned the corner, to see a sand castle in a vineyard, just brought a smile to my face. The castle is beautiful with stunning views. Very nice selection of wines. I had the dry riesling and my husband had the sangria. Both are very good. We came with friends and they LOVE the alpine spice! They had a nice fruit and cheese tray for purchase or you can bring snacks. Nice, comfortable seating areas or you can sit under the tent at table. Sand Castle has performers come and we saw The John DeRosa band. A shout out to John and Joey for an AMAZING performance. Check out the website for events. I can't say enough about our relaxing and beautiful evening. Looking forward to returning soon!

I came here for my mom's birthday and we had an excellent time! The space was beautiful with a medieval flare and the views of the vineyard and the river are stunning. Scott gave us a tour of the vineyard and showed us the types of grapes grown on the property, the cellar where its produced and gave us all kinds of information about the types of wine created here. We did our tasting with Mark and he was amazing: kind, friendly, charming, and super knowledgeable about the wines and good pairings for them. After the tasting he took us to have a closer look into the vineyard and showed us the differences between chardonnay and pinot grapes. All in all, a five star experience that I'm going to reccomend to all my friends.

My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Sand Castle Winery! We are staying in the area for a little vacation and decided to book a wine tasting session at Sand Castle. Our wine expert, Sam, guided us through the wine tasting and shared a lot about the winery's history, the winery's wine process, and accurately described each wine she poured. It was informative and entertaining. We left with 4 bottles of wine, one of which being their famous Alpine Spice, which is perfect for the winter time. I would recommend anyone coming here for a fun afternoon! I would advise finding your own means of transportation as we had issues getting consistent rides from Lyft and Uber just FYI! Thank you, Sam & Sand Castle Winery!

I love this course (Crystal Springs) but they pack tee times pretty thick. Playing yesterday they were splitting tees and there was still backup everywhere. I get making money but it detracts heavily from the experience. The club has no control over the impatience of the golfers but they can do a better job to avoid exacerbating the situation with overbooking

We had a great time playing foursome golf here! It definitely challenged us, but we're all glad we gave it a try and had a blast. We'll definitely be back!

It gets 4 stars because of the $25 cost to play it. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing course and about the most difficult anyone will ever play. The layout is simply incredible and diabolical at the same time. I guess my biggest complaint is the condition of the course itself. I'm not talking about the aerated greens, that's a necessary evil all courses must go through. And, Crystal Springs does the right thing by advertising that fact that the greens were aerated on such n such date, and then offers a reduced rate; hence the $25. I'm talking about the tee boxes, sand-less bunkers, and areas around the greens. Correct me if I'm wrong but it just seems like the course isn't maintained to the levels it used to be. The workers are all top notch and treat guests like private country club members and the clubhouse is world class. Maybe (hopefully) the conditions will improve as spring turns to summer, but still for the price you won't find a better deal or more challenging course.

Tough course, in immaculate condition. Staff was friendly and courteous accommodated where they could. So far as the course goes, great layout, tight. Bring your "A" game. Much easier course from the fairway,...duh. lots of tall grass to either lose your ball or find replacement ammo. Can't wait to play again.

Almost $100 greens fees and not a drop of water on the course only empty and missing coolers. C’mon guys I know you don’t give anything away, but water???

Played Warrior Package coup years ago. Amazing deal! 4 of Best courses n room included! ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!!

I love this place but not for golf, Don't expect high score of yours. Greens are beautiful but bumps are every where :) Good club team~~

Just played two rounds one at Crystal springs and the other at black bear. Very disappointed that they decided to aerated the greens right before the holiday weekend and leave them in terrible condition. Was enough sand on the greens to build a sand castle. Also the golf etiquette was so bad of the players we played with and all over the course. Black bear was much nicer but still had ver slow play problems with one group joining up with 9 people.

Course was not that easy. It's not really for beginners. The pace of play can be very slow due to people with high handicaps playing. The course was in great shape and our round took 4.5 hours. I would definitely return to play even though it's an hour drive from my home.

Pros: -Nice layout, there wasn’t a flat spot on the entire course! -Every hole was a new challenge -Greens are hard to read but true to their line -Water and bunkers are placed strategically to make you struggle -Tees range for all length of hitters -Fantastic views -Staff is nice Cons: -Most tee boxes were slanted -Not walkable, holes seem miles away from each other

The crystal springs golf course is all about accurate shotmaking, and accuracy over distance is the key. Lots of moguls in the fairways and offset to the fairways.Greens were in good condition and rolled nicely.. While our foursome was not the fastest, we kept up with the group ahead and resulted in a long unacceptable 5 1/2 hour round. Not a ranger to be seen all day who could better regulate pace of play.

Just came today with my family and I’m so disappointed. I was so excited to come back here after 10 years. I’m sure the excuse is COVID-19. But we each paid $40. When you get inside, only 3 rides are open out of like 6. The food is a disaster. The little old lady inside is ruder than rude. The food is not label. They don’t have trays. There’s barely any condiments. The bbq place is close too so you can’t eat anything other than pizza hot dogs and burgers and chicken and fries. Looks like this place is about to close soon if you ask me. The staff is so rude its crazy. There’s no team culture of any customer service experience. Def would not be back. So sad this place was so great back in the day.the pizza was $14 LOL

It's great for family gatherings. We went there to celebrate our parent's anniversary and we had a lot of fun. This place maintains good security for all guests including children. They have different pools for children and they are provided with safety suits. The main attraction is the slides. Want to go there again for sure.

The rides here were all great, the lines were short, and the workers couldn't have been nicer. However many of the pathways are made of gravel making it incredibly hard to walk around. On top of that all the roads are black making them very hot. You obviously can't take your shoes on most rides so you need to leave them at the bottom of the ride and walk on the hot gravel to get them. If you bring water shoes which wont fall off on rides this wouldn't be an issue bu unfortunately i did not bring.

Enjoyable rides situated among lots of trees and on top of a mountain. I enjoyed most of the rides, I loved the Colorado River but being asthmatic the walk back is tough 😅🤣 But I survived. LOL enjoyed the wave pool too. We ate in Big Bear BBQ, I ordered the Beef Brisket Sandwich with cornbread and my husband ordered the Loaded fries. I would say that it was better than the mountain eats.😅

This is one of my favorite water parks in NJ but it's pretty expensive. For years Mountain Creek has been the best water park for many NJ citizens. Its fresh cold water is just perfect when extremely hot days hits your area. All rides are pretty cool but you have to be aware of a few things before heading towards this park. First, you need to be in good shape and ready to walk up and down the hills, yeah this is a mountain ⛰️ don't expect a flat walking area. Secondly get enough money 💰. Entrance fee is around $43 per person. A locker is $35 to store your personal items and around three more people. Food is about $25 per person. Driving distance and gas ⛽️ is another extra. Having said this, plan to spend around $100 per visitor. If you are willing to spend this money, just get ready to enjoy this beautiful park.

Most rides were closed properly due to the rain. Wavepool water wasn't that tall as before. Employees were excellent tho, great service!

Have a season pass for Mountain Creek, along with my wife and son. The park experience is great. Not too crowded during the week, It’s a small water park but it’s fun. It has different attractions. The water it’s very cold, believe me you cannot imagine how cold the water is, however it's a great experience, Rarely will you encounter a water park surrounded by so much natural beauty! I went on Tuesday and they open at 11 and close all rides at like 4:45. But it was okay, you do have to walk a lot from ride to ride and the ground is very rough in some parts so flip flops are recommended for the whole park. The hills in this water park are extremely steep. Anyone with knee issues, babies in strollers or any elders might not enjoy the park at 100%. There are limited food options and it is (not surprisingly) very expensive, and though you can return to your car it is a very long walk back and forth.

Could have been better not well organized. Beautiful resort on the outside. I did not stay it was a one day trip

During oktoberfest... fun experience for all ages. And before you jump on the review, the stein was empty with the baby! Good live music too.

Nice park, lots of walking up and down hills to get everywhere, so wear comfortable water shoes. Some rides don't allow footwear so be prepared to walk back to get your shoes. If you want to ride the little coaster, get there as soon as it opens! The line the rest of the day is tremendous! Overall decent for the price.

So much fun, makes me feels like a kid again,kids really enjoyed it as well , they have tubing ,cliff water jump, bike riding, lazy river also baby friendly lots of water rides slides attractions enough for the whole family to experience its a must.

This place is such a vibe even for like a day trip with friends or family. There's an area for everyone, kids, toddlers, thrill seekers, etc. It is a very safe park as well with beautiful scenery.

Great family place. Kids absolutely loved it ❤️ rides for all ages, plenty of parking, reasonable day passes, beautiful lodging.

Came here at the end of season so it was pretty much empty, you won’t need to pay $20 for a locker if you’re okay with leaving ur stuff at like a table. Tickets being 49.99 are a bit pricey but compared to other amusements parks it’s not bad. I really enjoyed my time at the water park. The water is so cool and refreshing. If you’re in the area or a local I would definitely recommend checking Mountain Creek if You haven’t. Best wave pool I’ve ever been to at a water park by the way.

I cannot begin to tell you how horrible my experience was at this place. The staff was absolutely useless. They were also very disrespectful. The website is very misleading. Me and my group thought that we were purchasing tickets for the lift and the rentals. After we had already purchased our tickets, they told us it was a separate charge for the rentals which was okay if they did not make it so hard to switch our tickets. We were trying to explain to them that we did not know how to switch our tickets in which they responded “Oh, she told you that. Well she’s new and doesn’t really know what she’s doing.” I was trying to pick up my rental when the employees running the stand said “Hey, come look at this one. She is definitely your type. You can totally get on that. When you come back, you need to ask for me don’t worry I will take care of you.” then I was met with horrible glares. as if I was not standing directly in front of them. They also looked at my friend and said “is anybody going to get that one?” they proceeded to look her up and down before responding with “no, I think I’d rather do this one.” another girl from my group was also getting very disrespectful comments from another employee who was giving out the boots, before he winked at her while looking her up and down. every time we would ask for help not one of the employees was able to give us a straight answer. I would personally say that I am never going back to this place. I did not even feel comfortable returning my rentals, knowing I would have to talk to those employees.

We went to the water park. My rating is based on the food. We ate at the bbq place. Don’t get me wrong the food was actuality pretty good, but I stood waiting for it for at least 15minutes , watching the person at the pickup window the entire time. When he finally called my name he gave me two plates that had been sitting there for almost the entire time. Cold sandwich and worse than that cold fries. I get waiting. I just don’t understand waiting for food that had been good to go for 15minutes..

We went here for mountain biking and did not stay at the hotel. The trails were OK and did not seem like they were groomed any time recent. However they were still OK to ride and decent. Some of the trails were completely closed. We still had lots of fun and enjoyed our time though. One of the big negatives that surprised me was the parking lot. It is an adventure on its own. Haven’t seen such a horrible parking in a while. Luckily we were on my friend’s truck, but while unloading/loading our bikes we saw several cars bottoming out, scraping the bottoms and almost ripping out their bumpers. Even smaller SUVs had problems navigating that horror of a parking. I would have given this place 4 stars if not for the parking. Not sure if I’ll be taking my car on that parking since I don’t own a truck.

I wrote this review when I was extremely frustrated by the lack of human contact and have to admit that I was wrong. While I was very frustrated at how long it took, a few humans at Mountain Creek Resort fixed the issue. I should’ve been more patient. They were very nice and after a few hours and several emails everything was fixed. I left the original review in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation and short on patience. If I could give less than one star I would. The resort is ok, but customer service is horrible. You can't speak to a person. We booked online and paid in full, the money was taken out of our account, but we never received confirmation. There's no one to help. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. Whoever thought you could run a resort and get rid of human customer service made a very bad call. Tech is great and all when it works, but when it doesn't you need a human to figure it out. Please give your jobs back to the humans that can actually do them.

I originally left one star due to issues with customer service. However, the Lodging Manager Nicole reached out to me this morning to apologize and rectify the situation. She was very kind and, as someone who works in customer service, she ensured that I, as the customer, was taken care of. I think it is also important to remember that this place is a resort and is managed as such, so guest services are handled a bit differently than they would in your typical big name hotel. I loved the in-room gas fireplace and would be interested in coming back during the summer months to experience that side of the resort as well. Overall, I think this is a great, unique place to go if you’re looking for something fun to do with family.

I went for a single day to ski and got the GO pass that comes with rentals. Being a long weekend, it was pretty crowded and it took us around 2 hours to get our ski rental gear before we could finally hit the snow. We also didn't get our promised group ski lessons that came with the package. Other than the long wait times for virtually everything, the slopes were well maintained and were enjoyable. Would go again but might choose a less popular day.

I have been coming to Mountain Creek since I was a teenager and I will continue to come here for life! They are an excellent ski resort in the winters, and one of the most fun water parks I've been to in the summers! Their skiing is fun and easy going, great for beginners, while still being leisurely fun for experts to enjoy as well. Their water Park has one of the best wave pools around, and really fun and unique (and completely safe) slides and other water "rides." My favorites are their cliff jump and Tarzan swing!

Mountain Creek is a great little local mountain. For NJ skiing, it isn't bad. They try to keep up grooming and make snow early season when they can. I would love to see a regular high speed lift installed to replace the standing gondola "asparagus steam pot" that is the main route up the mountain. Most of the help is wonderful. Some (not all) of the younger lift folks can barely manage a grunt hello but I think that's just an age thing. I've stayed only at Minerals and Crystal Springs, not the bunny hill slopeside rooms so I can't say either way. Minerals and Crystal Springs are hugely different in pricing, ambiance, and clientele.

Got a Downhill Mountain bike lesson from Jeff, he was amazing very knowledgeable and a great person to hang out with. He gave me some great instructions and really helped me learn the foundational skills I’ll need as I get into the sport! Highly recommended! Thanks Jeff and all the staff I dealt with!

The staff was great. Even though (I feel) I wasn't their usual type of customer, they were very friendly while they helped me register on my fon. I only patronized the bike park. As I patiently navigated the courses, I thoroughly enjoyed each scary ride. I'll sum it up in the words of one of the other patrons that helped my navigation... "Mountain Creek is knarly!.." I will be back to enjoy this bike park again... sorry (not sorry) to the folks who looked uncomfortable. I'm not gonna let that stop a good time.

Very disappointed came here for New Years 2023/24. I’ve visited this mountain several times. This is the least snow and groomed I’ve ever seen. For a mountain that touts its ability to blow snow we skied over dirt and rock while watching flurries. If it’s flurrying and temperatures in the 30s the mountain team should be ready to blow. Temperatures dipped into the 30s over night and still no blowing. How can a mountain charge full rates, and offer one trail without grooming it? It’s sad and I hope things change but looks like this place has literally fallen off a cliff.

After some rough years under different ownership this place is awesome now. They do a terrific job with snowmaking, given the horrible ski/snowboarding weather many of the past years. This year in particular the service is notably better. All the employees that I've dealt with were friendly and helpful. Don't go on a weekend and complain that it's crowded. I go on the weekdays or maybe Sunday evening and it's always great!

Awesome place for skiing trip. They have nice training area for beginners with plenty of coaches. Several trails and peaks to explore. Highly recommend triple pass to visit three times a season.

I travelled to mountain creek for a wedding. It was my first time there. The view was beautiful no doubt about that. But that’s really all this place has to offer. The venue was hot and we were told that’s as cool as it’s going to get. We had to ask staff to turn on the lights so we could see our food. Several people at my table had the steak and said it was chewing a tire. People were even sending it back. I had the ravioli it came out cold. Good thing I had snacks back in our hotel room. During the event staff decided that they no longer wanted to tend to the guest and would much rather party on the dance floor. A family member went up to the staff while they were dancing and had to ask them to please get more beverages for the table. We brought baskets filled with supplies for the wedding. Towards the end of the night we went to collect the baskets. The staff had already taken them. When we asked about it the staff said they had taken them and put them aside. When we asked to please have our belongings they told us we would have to get the bride and groom to ask for it. Once we did that the rude lady (seen dancing in the photos) would not hand the baskets to us. She tossed them on the table and walked away not acknowledging us saying thank you. The hotel rooms are okay. I guess they are mostly used by family’s here for skiing/snowboarding. I did find mold on the shower curtain and the shower was leaking. We only stayed for the night so the shower wasn’t a huge inconvenience for us. I’m very disappointed that management allows their employees to act like this.

I have been coming here for nearly a decade and I can attest to say this place used to be extremely family friendly with nothing but the priority of customer satisfaction and of course a fun filled day in mind. They used to hand out hot cocoa and red bull with everyone being so friendly filling the air with joyful, cozy atmosphere. However I have seen almost a feeling of corporate greed take over these past few years as they continue to push heavy prices onto the visitors while minimizing their effort towards customer satisfaction. Their is this new heavy incentive to buy their triple play pass if you could not afford to pay $100 for the day you are easily roped into a triple play so you can come back another two times to spend even more cash on their overpriced accommodations including the price gouge on disgusting food, lessons, rentals, etc… it was like $6 for a candy bar and $15 for crusty nuggets and fries. I do not mean to drag Creek in the mud because it has always been a nice place with some enjoyable experiences but after a visit yesterday I was extremely disappointed with my day at Mountain Creek. I usually stick to North Peak which is I guess an improvement but switched over to South Peak which was furthermore a horrible decision. As a season pass owner the value really is not there as well. I was confronted by the most rudest staff member aggressively telling me I could not use my pass for a blackout day when I had been using the lifts with zero issues through the entirety of the morning. Paying over $500 just to be disrespected and treated like I was trespassing on the lift was utterly disgusting when I have been coming here so long. There is obviously no customer loyalty at all as every experience there is a fresh start and quite expensive one. It can be so hectic just to get on the lift at times with a lot of staff undertrained in customer service and tending to the needs of the people that spend quality time and money here. They are so desperate to keep the trails open that they leave the snow makers on ALL DAY allowing for everyone to get sprayed in the face on the WHOLE way down with ice leaving for extremely poor visibility and experience overall. It is actually crazy that people still go here just to get sucked dry for money and deal with hazardous conditions on the trails hanging by a thread. I had overheard an enormous amount of other skiers and snowboarders complaining for this issue and how only certain parts of the mountain were actually enjoyable. I really wanted to keep liking this place but I would much rather give my business and money to some of these other resorts in the area who are capable of dealing with crowds and outputting a great quality day for customers.

I visited the water park for the first time yesterday. A few things. The general parking lot is a great place to twist your ankle. It’s complete rubble, huge random gaps in different places, and a long walk from the park. They do not have enough signs from the parking lot to the water park entrance. I got lost for almost 30 minutes trying to find the entrance. Lost as in I ended up walking to the middle of nowhere in the woods with no one around and theme park music blasting. I called the park to see if I can get someone on the phone to direct me because there’s no workers anywhere to help with walking directions. A machine picked up to tell me to go to their website. Unhelpful. There are lots of steep hills in the park. It’s not flat. You’re walking up natural rocks/boulders - not steps. The food is extremely mediocre and the service is unbelievably slow. The bbq place moved faster and was more efficient, but the shakes and sundae location was so unorganized and slow it didn’t make sense. There’s only one attraction that is on the relax side and that’s the high tide pool. Everything else leans on the death defying side or it’s for small children. I don’t believe the water park keeps everyone in mind. The bathrooms are disgusting. So unclean, smells like urine & feces, used toilet paper stuck to the floor everywhere. It’s wildly gross like using the bathroom inside an NYC subway station. I wasn’t miserable but my face twisted up around the park more than I cared for.

Location is beautiful but service is terrible at the hotel. We were there for a wedding and the hair dryer in our room didn’t work properly (only cold air). There are no phones in the room to call for assistance so I went online and there’s a chat service. I tried that and no one ever responded. After about a half hour I tried the phone number for the site and all it did was take me to a message to use the chat service. I went all the way down to the lobby to ask for a new hair dryer. The woman called someone who didn’t answer and took my room number down. Never got a hair dryer which is not great when getting ready for a wedding. The wedding was great except for the period between the ceremony and cocktail hour. They sent us to the space for cocktail hour but it wasn’t ready so we had to just wait outside which isn’t too bad except some people wanted to use the bathroom and they wouldn’t let them in for that and they had to walk all the way around to another part of the building. Also if you are there for a wedding and taking the lift up to the top of the mountain don’t wear thin heels as they may slip through the grate.

We went to the Water park. It was like a blast from the past when I used to go to Action Park as a teen, but way WAY safer. This place is tremendous value for the cost of the ticket and my teen and tween boy had a great time. There is also stuff for the little ones too. Definitely gonna go back again next summer

The budget saving move not to make snow much of December 2023 (even when it was cold enough and there were a dozen nights below freezing) lead to the ski resort practically being closed this Christmas week with the smallest base in 25 years. I have been approached by an attorney who is asking many of us season pass owners to join in a class action suit against the ski area. Seems the "born and bread" jersey guy who operates this place is putting all our season pass money into his indoor skiing operation. The real skiers are moving on and you're left with Tony from Clifton. That's all this place is.

I have not stayed at The Hotel but have skiing here since I was 5...So many Improvements!...weekdays are less crowded...Great place.... Snowboarders go to the South Mountain to ride the terrain park and also skiers and snowboarders Who like to bomb the mountain go to north there's a slightly higher elevation.... Enjoy!

We had so much fun photographing a wedding at Mountain Creek. Although it had been drizzly all morning, the rain cleared just in time for an intimate mountaintop ceremony, backdropped by a rainbow. There are so many locations for beautiful photos to be taken, plus we love a good gondola ride (:

If you go skiing there just a couple of things to note. You have to pay online, you can't pay for lift tickets or rentals in person. When you make your online purchase your phone will show a barcode. Use the barcode to get RFID wristbands, usually being given out by an employee standing out front. DO NOT put the wristbands on. They are made such that once they are on they cannot be loosened or removed. Instead place them in an outside pocket. The readers they use at the lifts can easily scan through clothes. If you are renting skis be aware that you must use their boots. The tongues on their boots are sized differently to fit their skis. Lastly, the Cabriolet lift is a standing 8 man so after a run your legs get no rest :(

Mountain Creek Ski Resort offers the perfect family getaway close to the city. Enjoyed a fantastic day on the slopes—just the right amount of crowd for a relaxing yet exhilarating experience. Ideal for quality family time!

First time downhill mountain biking. Plenty of trails and a lot of technical challenges - very fun and exciting. I had my birthday with friends and family here. Personal thanks to Mike E. in group sales. Great time and definitely recommend!

WEDDINGS: Sorry in advance for the long post, but I want this to be very thorough for any prospecting B&Gs. I found out about this venue through a bride that posted her pictures on the NJ Brides Facebook group. I have never heard of MC but when I saw the pictures of the ceremony, I knew I wanted to go visit. When I visited, I fell in love with the spacious venue and the grounds. I didn't even get to see the mountain top ceremony because it was ski season, but I signed the contract anyway. The pictures and experience speak for themselves. I would like to preface this review by stating that I am a manager and Maitre D at an extremely popular venue in NJ and run 6 weddings every week, I have been in the business for 12 years. I have HIGH expectations. Working with the ladies at MC was great. They were always helpful leading up to the wedding day. Very detailed, which I appreciated. Of course the 10 day forecast was actually correct. It poured almost all day until after the ceremony. Of course. It cleared up enough that Jessica let us go to the mountain top for our first look and as many pictures as we could squeeze in before the next storm rolled through. So most of my formal pictures were taken care of up there and my family and bridal party were able to experience the gondola, which of course is the main thing I talked to all of our guests about for the 2 years that we had been booked at MC. They were kind enough to immediately refund our large payment that is required for the mountain top ceremony. The indoor ceremony was also a great option with curtains that were included to block off the reception tables, which is very rare to include. The bridal suites were beautiful and newly renovated. The food was absolutely wonderful and plentiful! Timeline went smoothly thanks to our maitre d that kept us on pace so that I didn't have to micromanage or worry about anything. I stayed on the dance floor all night, just where I wanted to be. Our bridal attendant Diana was fabulous and very sweet. I almost had a melt down before walking down the aisle. I walked by myself so I didn't have any loved ones to hang on to or calm me down. Diana held my hand and let me squeeze it for as long as I wanted and I'll never forget that! Having the after party upstairs (in the same room) and hotel a walk next door was the best part. We spent the weekend there and it was everything I ever wanted. No one wants to spend that much money on one day, so we made it a weekend experience. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. I cannot wait to come back for the Valentine's Day dinner and stay over night! Thank you so much, especially to Jessica for being there for us throughout this whole process and I know you worked your butt off that day keeping me calm and setting up all of my MANY details. I can't thank you all enough!

Those are pictures from New Year Eve 12/31/2023. There are no snowmaking & trailers are icy & dangerous. We drove a hour & half only left after one run. We were surprised Mountain Creek dint make snow at all during the major New Year Holiday.

NJ hidden gem getaway cruise away from the NYC crowds. The Captain & staff were very friendly & accommodating. The buffet,drinks & dessert was excellent! The lake & the scenery was breathtaking. We will definitely return!

From the booking process through the cruise and through the end of it when we disembarked, it was a seamless and hassle free experience. The staff are outstanding! Happy, helpful, table, radar, bartender is amazing at concocting excellent drinks and the food is top notch as far as buffets go! We were on a cruise that was fully booked. And it just happened that we were the very last people to eat and by the time we got there, Food was still plentiful and hot.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The cruise was the perfect length of time, the food and drink were delicious and the staff was so personable and seemed genuinely happy “to share their lake with us.” We have already recommended this company to friends and family and we will also definitely come back again.

It was great first experience my mom and sister took me on for a bachelorette surprise. The boat is beautiful and the service was amazing. The captains were so sweet that they let me stir the boat. We went yesterday we got married on Sunday newly weds I took my husband on the cruise and he and I loved it, it was a beautiful experience and the food was so great.

We had a wonderful time on our 2 hour lunch cruise, in spite of the rainy weather keeping us inside for most of the trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. The lunch was delicious. There was hot food, roll ups, sandwiches, salad and pasta salad. Later on, a delicious plate of cookie bars was placed on our table. The only thing I found strange was being charged $1.50 for a glass of water. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it felt kind of chincy after paying close to $100 for two people. I would certainly go again, maybe for the historical cruise next time.

It is almost impossible to get Miss Lotta cruises, but it is a very beautiful boardwalk and dining options nearby as well. Place very popular and parking lots very difficult to find also if you want to dine in it will be better to reserve the table

We went on our Anniversary to one of their historical cruises with a narrator. They served foods from the menus of the hotels that use to populate the shores of the lake. Food and service was very good. Learned a lot of facts about the area. They had a slide presentation showing the buildings as you past the sites today to see how it has changed. After eating we went upstairs to get a better view of the lake. Very relaxing day.

What an amazing thing to do on the lake! Enjoy the most beautiful views, fresh air, yummy food and drinks! Transform yourself into vacation mode and book ! From date night, to family dinner, to birthday parties, this is such a fun thing to do! I wish I had photos of the food, but from American, to Mexican, to the many themes they have, it is all delicious !

Sun came back out just before we set sail & thunderstorms held off until we returned. Great pics of sunset, amazing dinner & yummy dessert, and really friendly staff. Highly recommend this cruise!

All the staff members were fantastic. Each and every member were very friendly from beginning to end. My family couldn't of asked for more. Along with the friendly atmosphere, the food was delicious and plenty of it. The cost of booking the dinner cruise was very reasonable. Ty

Another enjoyable time on Lake Hopatcong! I've done 3 cruises and have enjoyed them all. One of the cruises had an appetizer buffet and they were delicious. I plan on attending more of the lectures and trying some of the other catered cruises!

Cons: Admission to get into the tour of the farm is $35 a person plus having to pay for anything you pick. A bit pricey if you're going with the entire family. Super over crowded on weekends. Long lines for almost every food stall. It can taint the experience a bit. Pros: Large explorable area with lots of different things to see. Plenty of animals that you can feed and pet and there are a ton of different pens. Live music with a large parking lot. Wine tasting and plenty of food stalls for you. You can come in for free and really make the best of it with a group.

It is a fantastic place in Chester NJ. It was my first visit with my family, and I will be going more often. The farm is vast and it is an entertaining ground for all ages. You can find food, drinks, entertainment, live music, farm animals that you can feed. There are plenty of picked vegetables and fruits, preserves, etc at the farm store. My preference are the apple cider and apple donuts.

Get here early!!! Our family enjoyed our visit to the farm and partly because we got there close to opening. By the time we left- the lines were long. There is a little play area for the kids to enjoy a bounce house and pony rides- so make sure you buy tickets for the little kids to enjoy!

My favorite farm! Have been coming here for the past few years for their apple picking and love what else they have to offer! The animals on the farm are a plus! Beautiful sunflower field as well! Great for kids and adults!

The strawberry picking was good, we were the last batch in the evening to get in the farm. They rode us to and back from the farm. The route is going to be pretty rough because it’s a farm mud road. Strawberries were absolutely delicious. They had peach apple and so many other farms as well. Enough parking space. When we went reservation was done then and there. There was a small mart inside. We bought some popcorn kernels and made popcorns months after we bought, they were proper well mature kernels turned out really good. Kids will enjoy the small animal sanctuary in there. Our issue was the food. By the time we returned there were only ice cream shops that had stock, rest everything was out of stock. May be because it was a late evening by 6pm around. Washrooms weren’t maintained.

This last October my family visited Alstede Farms for the first time. Our visit and experience was enjoyable. We made the mistake of visiting on a Saturday which of course led to larger crowds and higher wait times, on top of our poor planning we went on a very cold day. Even with the small given issues my family got to relish in all the activities provided. From the bouncy house, to the corn maze and pumpkin picking itself, we were pleased with the entire day. We will be visiting again next year!

Alstede farms is great! We went for a kid’s birthday party. The animals are fantastic. The event area is lovely and the food great. There is tons of parking, the staff is very helpful, and the live music is wonderful. Bring cash for the country store!

Always a pleasure here with much to do throughout the year. We've been here many times over the years during summers and autumns. I recommend getting there early. Plan your visit for sure. The PYO apples are great and there is plenty of variety but many of them are seasonal and also restricted so the trees aren't all picked clean at the beginning of the season. Learn which apples you prefer and pick those. There are plenty of picked vegetables and fruits, preserves, etc at the farm store and everything is reasonably priced. Bring your own bags if you plan to pick more than the bags/boxes they offer. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help with anything you need. Save for the sloppy guests who don't care, the farm is very clean. We did pass a few items like plastic bottles and used coffee cups thrown on the ground in the orchards. The bathrooms are small so make sure you do your business before you arrive.

We visit the farm with my friends and children The prize at the farm are much higher than they are on the website which we was surprised and disappointed . The person who was selling tickets was not able even explain why they are charging more for activities and everything separately Picking up strawberries are 18.99 with one quarter box which is included If you want extra activities for kids Pony ride 9.99 Bounce house 4.99 Wagon train 4.99 When on the website says you could buy an activities plus admission for 21.99 This is the only dissatisfaction and disappointment Overall very friendly and very clean place The kids have very great time and enjoyed activities Great place for entire family

Beautiful set up, lots of options for the kids. The pick your own activity was well run and there was plenty of fruit. Delicious pies and ice cream too! Only drawback is how hot this summer is, the bugs between the cherry trees were too intense with the humidity and heat.

This place is a scam. No idea why they are still advertising that they have strawberries to pick, since when you arrive at the field you are hit with a smell of rotting strawberries and there is nothing to pick, we barely picked one carton. The worst part of that when you pay for admission, you have a choice of two cartons, one is only for strawberries and peas, we were told if we pick anything other than those, we will be hit with a fee, we came for strawberries so that’s what we took. You can also get tiny carton for everything else for $8, so we purchased one for blueberries. Since the strawberries are all rotten and the blueberries were still either green or sour, we came back with one carton of strawberries and two empty cartons and they did not refund us, just told us to go to the store to fill them. The store had three containers of strawberries, so we were able to fill our carton, but the blueberries were from another farm and much cheaper than what they charge for the green ones in their field, total scam. It is a beautiful farm, huge variety of fruit to pick and many activities but it was a waste of a day for us. As to the reply, it took us an hour to pick ONE carton and there were other people also unable to find any edible fruit. Your employees agreed with what I told them when we came back to the entrance to complain about lack of good fruit left and offered the store as the only option for strawberries that are actually ok to eat.

Very large and well-organized farm with orchards, hay and pony rides, toddler tractor train, and freshly picked produce market with baked goods. Eleanor chose a blueberry pie to bring home for breakfast along with apple cider and donuts.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Alstede Farm! It's a perfect destination for family outings. The farm offers a delightful array of pick-your-own vegetables and fruits, allowing us to connect with nature while harvesting our own goodies. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our visit. The combination of fresh produce and a warm atmosphere made our day truly memorable. Five stars all the way!

Farm was veeery large and spacious and there was a very wide variety of produce to pick. Apples, pumpkins, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumber, you name it. Additionally, there were animals for the kids to see and feed. There were lots of tractors ferrying people around the farm because it's soo huge and they were pretty frequent and not overly crowded. Also, how could I forget, various sunflower fields to take photos or just to walk thru. There was also a market where you could buy a variety of prepared foods like burgers, ice-cream, corn, etc. Heck, there was even live music. The food I didn't get to try, the lines were too long, so I just grabbed some apple donuts from the shop. Parking also was very decent. There were a ton of cars, yet you were able to park in 5 - 10 mins. Overall, I absolutely love this place. Lots of things to do and eat. I was full when I went there a week ago. I give it 4 stars because I they charge same price for a 2y/o as they do an adult for entry and the bag they give to put produce in is very small. But I most definitely would recommend.

The farm is highly commercial with huge crowds. There is a band playing and a few food trucks, some animals to watch. I'd say there's not much to do given the amount of people and limited space. Pick your own tickets are way overpriced for what you get (includes a few activities though). There is a good selection of apples but the farm is big and you have to walk long distances. There's no clear navigation or maps so it's impossible to understand where to pick up the apples you want. You can hop on a hayride to get to other parts of the farm though. The pictures show the relative size of the containers: 1/4 peck, 5lbs and 10lbs. Not sure if we will go there again - pricey, crowded and not much to do.

The maple cremee drink was the BEST!! OMGOSH. I would definitely just go back for that drink. It's just right 😍 Overall, my students and I had a great time. Nice farm! I would be going back to pick some peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches lol and maybe some strawberries too. The apple picking was nice though and the apples were delicious 😋

I'm subscribed to their program (supported community agriculture) where you can receive fresh from the farm products weekly. You can find this on a website called HARVEY FARM, or you can call Alstede 908-879-7189. I decided to go in person and pick Sun flowers and peaches by myself, and I'm going to tell you it was a great experience because they have animals that you can feed, fresh fruit and vegetables market, ice cream shop, delicious corn and wine tasting. That day, they even had a life band playing nice music. It's definitely recommended if you want to start eating healthy and have a good time with your family.

My family and I were sorely disappointed. We wanted to go peach picking but the price was astronomical high, $30.00 per person to enter, and with that you get a (plastic bag - sandwich size) to put your peaches in (if you are lucky you can fit 2 of them). There were 6 of us, so the cost didn't make sense. Then we moved onto the farm. Cow #24 looked like he needed some attention. Nonetheless, the farm is beautiful, and the bunnies were especially fun. The apple cider donut was dry, but the banana peach bread was good (see pics). It's good for children between the ages of 1 and 6.

This is a really cool place to visit during the August-October season every year. I’d say the tickets are better to purchase in advance and it’s fun to dress up for. They have a schedule with over 30 shows to watch during the day. Their is plenty of different food places some expensive, some not. Some of the shops are expensive but that’s because they are homemade small business items. I would highly recommend carrying a lot of cash on you because 95% of the stuff is cash only here. I’ve came here a few years it’s pretty cool to check out and fun. They have beer and ciders as well as a bar crawl too. It’s also family friendly.

Amazing time had by all. Lots of exceptional people and staff. Incredible entertainment for all. All the entertainment is amazing. Lots of interesting products for sale from dresses to armor. All kinds of tradesmen make all kinds of things, from leather to crystal.

I used to be a fan of Renaissance back in the days, but since 2020 the experience has been steadily declining. In the past for $20 you could get an adult admission tickets and enjoy all the shows. The amount of people now got to the point you have almost no chance of getting a seat at any show throughout the day even if arrive early, inbound and outbound traffic is unbearable, lines to get food during lunch time are impossibly long, and bathrooms are messy. For $50 ticket fee per adult this year not planning to bear all these trouble. The shows are nice but most are the same as previous years. The experience used to be way more pleasant and affordable

Renaissance fair was good. Getting into the venue and finding parking is awful. Really killed the mood. There should be a ticket limit to have less people. The food and drink lines are really bad you have to wait crazy amounts of time just to get something. Cash only which is ok but the atm fees are crazy overall would not come back.

Worst experience last year, Almost no vendors and the ones there were five times normal price. Owner overbooked and didn’t have any employees to help. Getting in and out was a nightmare and everything cost 10 times what it should’ve. Maybe the owner should try to blackmail pregnant mothers less he would do a better job Running the festival. Buying a turkey leg and a beer put you into poverty 😂

tickets costing money definitely doesn’t diminish the goodness & vibe awesome place Would love some beefing up on the viking area and some more chill spaces with thoughtful affordable healthy refreshments

What a great place to spend the day. Just be wary of the traffic get there early and the long lines for food and beverages.

HORRIBLE!!!!!! They have you purchase the tickets online. Due to bad rain they canceled the show Sat and Sunday. I have yet to recieve a refund. Renfest is holding all the monies collecting intrest while the customer waits!!!! I have been going to the Fest form many many years , the cost has been getting way out of line making it difficult for families to enjoy a day out without costing a small fortune!!!!

We had a delicious meal in the Vale Room, I had monk fish wrapped in bacon, my husband and daughter had steak cooked to perfection. Our servers Bobby and Marco were excellent, charming, so knowledgeable and efficient! The cocktails are so good, with a nice selection of wines and spirits. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We came for Valentine's Dinner. We waited 30 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink, another 30 for our appetizers, and another 30 for our entrees. Our waiter was uninformed about the menu, barely said a word to us, and never once asked us if we wanted another drink or how everything was. Twice the waiters tried to bring us dessert when we hadn't received our main course yet. We were never asked if we wanted coffee or another beverage with or after dessert. The food was absolutely delicious, but we ordered the $38 duck supplement for two, which was mislabeled as a supplement when it was a replacement for the entrees, which the waiter was unaware of. We paid $38 extra to replace our entrees with one that was not nearly large enough for two people. It was, however, delicious. Whenever we've come in the past, we have always had a great time. It is an absolute travesty that on a special night like valentine's night, everything fell apart. We paid nearly $150 per head after "supplements" and cocktails, and I would be disappointed at the experience for 1/3rd that price. I would never come back for a special occasion, which is a shame because of how much we love the restaurant on a normal night out. The only reason I'm giving an overall three stars instead of two is because our previous experiences at the restaurant have been much better, and the food was quite good even if it took us forever to receive it and it wasn't quite what we were expecting based on the menu and our waiter's clear lack of awareness of what he was serving.

It was amazing food. I had a short rib meal. Amazing. The cocktails WOW. One of the cocktails had chocolate... I don't even like chocolate ended up really liking it. Haha. But my only warning is just if your very hungry, you should know the portions are small and pricey. If your okay with that then this is a beautiful place to stop at.

Probably one of the nicer restaurants in the region, with elegant cocktails and fine wine, an array of suave apps including delicious vegetable fare, and premium entrees. The biscuits and honey are a phenom, and my scallops were on point. The modern design decor and contemporary luxury vibe add a special and cinematic atmosphere. The service is attentive and polite. Most of the other diners fit the scene, with the exception of the loud, drunk, and obnoxious table of four that was seated directly next to us (we had reservations for two on a date night), who came close to ruining an evening that we paid a pretty penny to experience. For those types, the hostesses should have read the room and isolated them. We expect more discretion next time.

My husband and I enjoy celebrating special occasions here regularly! The chefs are very talented in personalizing delicious meals to fit customers’ preferences; I follow a strict GF/DF diet so that can be tricky at times as a lot of meals are either GF but not DF. We love going here and recommend it to all of our friends and family. The view from the Washington Room is spectacular, however, the ambiance can be improved with classic music to match the atmosphere as the last few times we have dined here it didn’t fit the aesthetic.

Everything was excellent. The cocktails were perfectly balanced and looked great. The oysters were excellent and the mains we had were flawless. Would definitely celebrate my birthday there again

I ate here in January 2023 for some dessert, and I loved it!!! We were fortunate enough to get a seat at the bar, even on a busy Friday night without a reservation. It was definitely busy, but the interior is beautiful!! The desserts were absolutely delicious and a perfect treat; I will definitely be back here for a full meal!!!

I came in from out of town and a friend suggested we go here. The food as amazing and the location I think is incredible. It’s such a nice atmosphere and the wait staff was great. The food was also delicious and everything was so reasonably priced. I got the steak frites and they were cooked perfectly. If I’m ever in Morristown again, I’ll for sure be stopping by.

Perfect for any occasion. Friendly staff and amazing food. Not only is this place a landmark with great views, the careful preparation of food and atmosphere will make this place your favorite restaurant.

I remember when they first opened up, and they maintained that spirit of good food and drink since. The family style pastas and fish are great. Though sometimes hit and miss on the dishes individually, it's always been fun to pop into the library area for a drink or get a business meal in here. Parking in the basement lot or around the drive. Pasta is still great, had the lamb garganelli, but the appetizers like the hummus and the octopus were not inspiring. Very nice staff though.wbile steak was tough the salt and vinegar fries underneath were an undeniable hit.

We reserved a late table for New Year’s eve, which we could have been understanding to some traffic on such an evening. We were met by a very snippy hostess/coat check person. If you don’t want people standing in your front lobby area, which is tiny, then ensure that their table is ready. Also, the tiny vestibule with the coat check smells like a men’s urinal. We were given an option to sit at a communal table as a band-aid to incompetence of front of the house management. Not to mention having already having paid $50 per person deposit to secure a table. We were seated 40 minutes late after quite a few snide comments from the “greeting” staff. The back bar decor looks like Marshall’s and the Dollar Tree got drunk and made some poor choices. We came as a party of four, and opted for four course prix-fixe. The food quality does not meet fine dining standards, but presentation was decent. All of the food came at same time for each course, even if our dessert arrived before main. Our waiter staff were very attentive, but their supporting staff was obviously just trying to push us out by showing up early with dessert. When we did receive the mains, the two beef dishes were grey and bland, the fish was good though. When the dessert arrived at proper time, the cake in both options were dry and crumbly, not matching the description whatsoever. We are a group that comes planning to spend decent money on decent food and service but sadly, all we got for the money were a couple of the plates being good. The beverage and food wait staff assigned to our table were the shining point of the evening and they should be commended above all the other lacking team members.

Great food in a lovely upscale environment. We were seated in a back bar space that had the vibe of a private club. Recommended! We will return.

Came here with my maid of honor. We had a wonderful time! Such a beautiful restaurant, great ambiance, awesome food and service! Can’t wait to visit again! 😁

The food was one of the best meals I have ever had. The drinks and service were top notch. My only minor note, is that the music in the Washington room was a touch too loud,. Perhaps this was to mask conversation from nearby tables, but it was a little hard to hear my dining companion and the server.

We don't live nearby so it's our second time in maybe 10 years. Food, Service and Alcoholic beverages are still top notch. We were a party of 4 adults. Had the Old Fashion, the tequila version of old Fashion, the sommelier recommended Red, the Brachetto d'Acqui and some other beverages. Oysters were from Barnegat, the Special of the day: Beef Carpaccio, and forgot the other dishes. The only snafus and they weren't a big deal was they mixed up my order and my wife's, (Fortunately it was easily discernable and it was within our table) and the bus boys or food runners reached across the table to try to correct the mix up. Not enough to give less stars.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary here and the place didn’t disappoint. Service from check in was great, friendly staff and prompt service. Food was spectacular! It’s pricey but the whole place and ambience will make you feel special. I just don’t like that the tables are really close to each other that the next table’s conversations are very audible. But I guess you have to really reserve early to get the best quiet-ish spot. Overall, a great place to celebrate a special occasion or have an exquisite fine dining experience. We’ll go back! 💕

Went for the happy hour oysters and dinner and it was fantastic! I feel like oysters can be a hit or miss in some places but these were fresh and tasty. Our server Marco was really helpful in giving us recommendations and provided excellent service.

I live in NYCl This is much more beautiful than the 3 botanical gardens in NYC that I have been to. But I gave it 4 stars because it is not in any way handicapped friendly and when I first went I was not handicapped I am now due to a unethical world class doctor who took money to out trash metal in me. In any case I called ad left messages about being handicapped but they never bothered to call me back not once!

Beautiful free gardens — you can spend quite some time walking the paths, looking at the different gardens, and roaming the green areas. Its a great photo spot or fun date activity. Theres also nice scenery and places to walk around in the surrounding area. I make a point to come through this part of jersey if im traveling through and its a nice day.

Beautiful place to spend around 4 hours easily or the day . This is carry in carry out . There is picnic spot in shepherd lake where you can sit and eat . I visited online September 2021 . There were less flowers but the different gardens were beautiful. The manor is beautiful: I didn’t pay entree fee as no one was there in the booth . But in parking lot A you can pay for your parking . They have have 3 parking lots A, B and C and each can accolade around 15 cars .

Nice place to walk around; however following the numbered stops is not as easy as one would think. There isn't like a clearly marked path, but I also get that that would change the look and feel of the garden. Some areas didn't have that many flowers, and it would be helpful to know how to identify certain flowers to appreciate the garden more. On a sunny day, it's also helpful to bring an umbrella, as there are some areas without shade. Some spots also lack descriptions; for example, the four statues area. There might be more info on the website, however.

Lovely place to visit. Large grounds that are a delight to explore. You do encounter some people but overall the place is so big you almost feel like you are there alone. The area was very relaxing. We almost took a nap in the shade!

This is a special place to visit just to walk around the beautiful grounds. On a Friday in late April there were more flowers than we expected. The daffodils and forsythia were spectacular This! This early in the season there was no charge to enter on a week day.

Always a beautiful place to visit, no flowers this times year, but it’s so peaceful and the views are amazing. Nice place to come and sit for a while and Great hiking trails.

Very quite and less people. It was not what I expected. Garden state botanical garden should be the best. Hope they will work and make it the great Botanical garden.

Best thing about this place is free entrance, free parking & $1.50 bottle water available at the vending machine inside the restroom. Not the best idea going here while Jersey is under 100% humidity. Watch out for bees & bugs. We saw a guy walking with a mosquito net head gear. We cut short our walk & decide to go home. Will revisit this in the fall and spring.

My husband and I visited Skylands Manor at the New Jersey State Botanical Gardens to see their Christmas in the Highlands Open House. Every room on the first floor was decorated in different themes according to Scottish tradition. It was beautiful!

I recently photographed an engagement session with my clients, Loreal and Brian, at the New Jersey Botanical Gardens and I have to say, it was a photographer's paradise! The Gardens provided endless options for picturesque backdrops, beautiful greenery, and blooming gardens that made my camera sing. The highlight of the session was the historic Manor, which made for an amazing and romantic setting. As a wedding photographer, I'm always on the lookout for unique and beautiful locations to shoot, and I have to say, this is one of my new favorites. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the venue was immaculately maintained. I cannot recommend the NJ Botanical Gardens enough, and I look forward to shooting there again in the future. From a photographer's standpoint, this location is a true standout and a must-see for anyone who is looking for a breathtaking and memorable engagement session or wedding photography session. Thank you to the NJ Botanical Gardens for providing such an amazing experience!

I visited the garden on a sunny day in spring, and I was amazed by the variety and beauty of the flowers, trees, and plants. The lilac garden was especially fragrant and colorful, and the magnolia walk was a sight to behold. I also enjoyed the Italianate gardens, which had a formal and elegant design, and the wildflower garden, which had a natural and charming look. The garden also has a historic manor house, which offers guided tours and exhibits. The staff and volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable, and they answered all my questions. The garden is open every day, and admission is free. I highly recommend the New Jersey Botanical Garden to anyone who loves nature and history. It is a perfect place to relax, learn, and admire the beauty of the Garden State.

I went to the annual holiday open house at the New Jersey Botanical Gardens in Skylands Manor. The theme this year was Holiday in the Highlands (Scottish Highlands). These unique creations were the product of various local Garden Clubs.

Serene and beautiful walking grounds. The flowers and Trees were not in bloom yet but the grounds were tranquil.

A lovely spot to spent the afternoon walking and chatting. Many surprises throughout with sculptures, sitting areas, and water features. The prime time for color is in May, but is wasn’t crowded and still absolutely lovely nonetheless.

• Beautiful place for photography. • Friendly hikers/walkers. • Great place to bring your kids to walk trails. • Amazing verity of trees and flowers. Was able to collect a bunch of different fallen leaves from different trees. • Hold different types of events... There's a Winter/Christmas event where you can come look at the different decorates trees— $10/person. If you want to decorate (I was told by an employee) to contact The Frelinghuysen Arboretum around August.

Absolutely beautiful place. The yards are amazing to see. From the flowers to trees truly amazing and worth the visit. Favorite section was the winter greens especially the Korean n Norway Pines.

Beautiful gardens and trails year-round! Perfect for a leisure walk as well as for a small picnic with little kids.

Easily accessible and great parking. Looks like a great program area for youth and community gardening. Some of the gardens needed a bit of attention and seem to besuffering the lack of rain. Roses were gorgeous today! This would be a beautiful spring bloom destination or fall color change walk. I hope to revisit at a different time.

Updated review: My husband and I got married in the Knot Garden a few days ago and it was so perfect. I never imagined that such a beautiful place would be so simple and inexpensive to book for a wedding! This is just the place, whether you want a no-fuss ceremony like we did, or to book a larger event. Our guests loved the ambiance, as we got married just before sunset. So memorable and relaxed. Original review: I loved this spot, it’s so gorgeous. My only drawback was that as a wheelchair user, I would have appreciated some more helpful maps and signage indicating pathways and their coordinating accessibility levels. We definitely turned the wrong way at one point and ended up on a pretty rough path! We got through okay, but had I been a more elderly or fragile wheelchair user, it could have gotten dicey quickly. Otherwise, the gardens and forest were lovely. We’re really looking forward to coming back to picnic throughout the summer.

This is a beautiful place visit. There are benches all around if you want to relax and it's a great place to go for a nice walk. I definitely want to visit again next spring.

Amazing little place. Lot of flora to enjoy. Good parking lot, spacious. Starting July, waiting for the plant scvanger hunt, a family event. Visited the place where the plant grows without soil. Probably that is what the future will be, If everyone deserts Earth to move to Mars.

This has the old home which has limited viewing times, but the garden behind the house and toward a gazebo is beautiful. There are trails leading down the hill on the property. I explored only this one which had an old white oak and at the end of the trail a rock labyrinth on the ground. I will return to explore the rest of the trails on a subsequent visit.

Really nice find in Paterson! Impressive waterfall with nice views. The bridge is closed at this time, but you can get next to it for to see more of the park. Safe with many families and park rangers there for information. Highly suggest checking this place out.

I took an hour drive to visit the Falls and it was absolutely beautiful. Even with the frozen pieces. I wish the bridge was open to be able to walk right over it. But I was able to get a great shots. It’s sits right in the middle of a city, but if you focus only on the falls you feel like you are someplace not amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy city.

I love the natural beauty of the falls which is rather unusually situated in an urban area. The main overlook, which is near the parking lot would offer the best views. The bridge was closed otherwise that would have been a better view..

Great view of the waterfall. The area was clean. Lots of information about the falls throughout the trail. There are plenty of spots to sit and eat and enjoy while watching the waterfall. There is a food truck right at the entrance/exit. The bridge that allows you to get up close and personal with the fall was closed at that time (04/06/24). Kid friendly. There was free parking but limited. We had to circle around a few times to get a spot. The area has heavy traffic. There is plenty of seating throughout. There are stairs and a ramp to get closer to the fall. The ramp is definitely an incline, so bring your muscles.

A cool hidden treasure!! The area could be cleaned up/maintained more but that's up to visitors to tidy after themselves as well. Construction makes it a little concerning to walk around to the other side by the main street. Otherwise it was a fun day date.

The current construction work and the falls' underwhelming size disappointed me, however, I still appreciate the wonder of nature despite its magnitude. The parking area is limited but free. We didn't stay long since there wasn’t much to see. There’s a few picnic tables and benches. The falls' view is not directly in front, therefore making it a little difficult to appreciate its beauty.

First time visiting the historical Great Falls of Paterson and did not disappoint. Parking lot is limited and there might be a wait to find availability. Depending on where you enter, it can be stroller friendly, however, most areas are best done on foot. Wear comfortable shoes! During our visit, the connecting bridge was closed so it didn't allow us to visit further. However, I believe there are other entrances through the main park gates. Definitely worth a visit to this area and exploring nearby restaurants that are rich for their cuisines (Peruvian, Bangladeshi, Dominican, etc.) I would just make sure to lock your doors (car) as security was not visible. Enjoy your visit!

Beautiful park nestled in Paterson city. Great waterfall and nearby park. Though they should try to keep park clean lots of garbage lying around. Close to museum and other historic sites.

Beautiful, picturesque falls! The Passaic river leads into these magnificent falls and they are best viewed from the side of the Mary Ellen Kramer park. It was a good walk from the parking lot to this viewpoint. We went close to sunset and the fall colours looked gorgeous.

Amazing little secret out in the open. The falls are nice, and it looks like they are renovating the very old buildings around the falls. The bridge over the falls is closed. It's really not that big of a deal, and you can walk on the sidewalk around to the other side. We found parking right there, no problem. On a busy summer day may be a different story. We spent about an hour or so there and had lunch overlooking the falls. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Great view of the falls. Plenty of space to walk around the falls. Ample parking on a weekday. I took a free park ranger guided tour which was very informative. The tour was about an hour long. I walked around the area as well. I wanted to visit the Paterson museum but it was closed to the public due to a recent fire. I was told it should open in a month.

It's a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the city. But looks like it's getting polluted and mixed with sewer. Can visit and read the history of the renewal hydroelectric power generation which was closed long time back. There are some construction going on to maintain the place, hope by the summer it will look more maintained. Also, I went in winter session so not much crowded.

Spectacular view of the Falls. Shame the bridge to walk over the Falls was closed for construction at the time of my visit, but beautiful all the same. A few historical plaques to read to broaden your knowledge.

Beautiful waterfall located near a human-made dam. Nice place to visit if interested in the history of production of silk in the US. Family-friendly. Park your car near the welcome center, as it's the closest lot you can find in the area.

The roads and car parks around the Park were closed off due to Labor Day weekend, so there could have been better signage about where to park up. The views from the Overlook were great, directly onto the bridge and Falls. However, the pedestrian bridge itself was closed due to safety issues. The Rangers had set up a table outside the visitor center with the NPS stamp and were very friendly (as usual!). Worth a little detour!

After so much rain, we thought that the falls would be extra beautiful. They did not disappoint! The park was busy on this beautiful day, and parking was challenging (as the parking lot is very small). There continues to be construction, and there are areas that are not open to the public, including the walking bridge over the falls. The Park Rangers are present and welcome visitors and answer questions. They also lead tours. One can also download a self-guided walking tour. There is no cost for visiting. There are no indoor facilities (pending construction) but they have portable toilets (“available 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM staff permitting.”) The site is accessible. Bonus: there is a space for food truck/s parking right outside of the park. We had ice cream. Chocolate with chocolate sprinkles as always. Yum! The young man running the truck was great 🙂🍦

Paterson historical park offers and beautiful scenery of water falls. The rocky nature of Paterson Great falls reflects the beauty of nature. It is an ideal place for relaxation, and photographers. One of the United States largest waterfalls. The falls were formed at the last ice age. It is a wonderful place to visit. It is a pet friendly place. You can spend a nice time with your family and kids

Beautiful place to visit when it’s snow there. Don’t forget to wear coats,snow boots and gloves as it’s freezing and slippery due to snow melting but amazing place to enjoy the snow season. Loved it!!! Try to visit in mornings to enjoy in less crowd. There was small parking lot too.

A nearly hidden gem right inside the city. The falls are remarkable for their power and ability to stay out of sight until you are right on top of them. The crowds are a bit difficult to navigate, especially the ridiculous 15 angle selfie seekers, but if you can dodge their narcissistic lens, you will have a great experience. The path over the falls is closed temporarily, but you can still get close enough to get soaked!

The falls itself is incredible and the park staff maintain it as best they can for the horrific place its located. I would only recommend visiting during the day because Paterson is considered one of the worst/dangerous areas in the country (you can see why driving through). The falls themselves earn the “Niagra Falls of the East” title many have given it and I hope one day the city is cleaned up to fully enjoy this spectacle of nature. Good job to the park staff and the police keeping this place alive

This place is beautiful all seasons. We have taken many of our friends and family visiting us in Jersey to this water falls and they all appreciated the beauty of this falls. In summer you would enjoy the mist from falls if you on the other side along with the closer view of falls. In winter the icicles are beautifully forms and require nice snow boots to warm around as the pace is going to very slippery. Since this place is close to our home not familiar with restrooms around. However it has many benches to sit and watch the falls. Also we could do picnic on grass area in summer.

I visited Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park and was awe-struck by the majestic beauty of the falls! The roaring sound and stunning views took my breath away. The park's rich history and well-preserved architecture added depth to my experience. I enjoyed the easy-to-follow trails, informative exhibits, and scenic overlooks. The park's staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A must-visit destination in NJ, Paterson Great Falls exceeded my expectations and left me feeling inspired and connected to nature's wonder!

Beautiful day to at the Paterson Falls. Just an amazing site in the middle of an urban area. The park and area are in the midst of a major renovation so it will only improve. The industrial area in which it's located gives you a hint of how valuable the falls were to local manufacturing. Will go back after the renovations.

A decent historic waterfalls in the middle of the city. Best place for elders who want to visit waterfalls but unable to climb up or down any stairs. There are 2 entry points.. one is with parking lot near the traffic signal which gives full front view of the falls. Other one is back side of the falls which can take you close to the starting of the falls. This side has a broad park kind of place where you can read the history of the falls, can sit and have small picnic with family , feel the water drops when the falls is high on its current.

I go to this theater all the time with my husband. Always clean. Staff is nice. Really good concessions. And they have discounted movies on Tuesday which makes going to the movie theater affordable again. Great if you're on a budget. Any time I dare to see a movie in theaters, I always go to Regal because it's a good experience.

This place is like a lazy throwback to what I guess movie theaters might have looked like in a lifestyle ad during the 1950's. The staff is slow. Took 25 minutes to get concessions with a short line. What made it annoying was that I was a bit late for my movie as a result and the workers didn't really seem to have a sense of urgency. What saves this place? The price. I have not found a theater that maintains its equipment so well and charges well below AMC prices. Very much enjoyed myself when I was there. Raked seating means you don't have to worry about the 7 foot tall guy in front of you. Also, they do a great job not having lit up exit signs right next to the screen. Any required lighting in the room during the movie is discreet and not distracting to the movie. Also the location couldn't be more perfect. Restaurants, bars and shops all around for before or after, plus you'll never have a challenge finding parking. A worthwhile place to check out.

Very nice! Just a little pricey, but you can take it. Cause the service and quality of the snacks 😋 just made the movie going that much more fun for all.

The staff is amazing, specially EVAN. I lost my car keys while watching the movie. After the movie ended he turned on the lights and search the entire theater. Thanks to him I was able to go home. Love these movie theater …..

Nice place. However, stadium seating act this location is not ideal if you've gotten used to recliner seating. Also saw a mouse in the area before walking into the actual regal. I repeat not in the theater or the concession area but this location is upstairs in a mall-ish type area. So it was right outside going into the regal. If they upgraded the seats the place would be a 5.

This theater is usually my first choice. The concessions are always fresh and taste good. The seats are comfortable. This theater would be a 5 star for me if the seats were leather recliners. The staff is polite. You can’t go wrong when going to see a movie here.

On a Monday night it’s pretty quiet or actually empty? There are like 6 people in the whole theater and we are watching a scary movie. What a life. Theater is clean and service is fast being one of the few customers. I am not a fan of popcorn at the theater but just need to support this place. I can get use to having a theater mostly empty. I forgot how nice it is to experience the sound and laugher with other people. Tonight is a good night. Looks like they have a party room for kids which is a plus. Theater should change up their biz model a little.

I heard last year that Regal was going out of business and I was heart broken. Supposedly ... they were going to be closing by February of this year. Here we are in August and I was there last night! This has been my go to movie theater for the past 7 years and I rarely even think of AMC. I also love the fact that they have a room where parents can host parties for children and their friends. #TEAMREGAL !!!

I came to this theater several years ago. Not much has changed. The seats don't recline, but they're comfortable. The arm rest is difficult to pull down and only has space for a drink. Otherwise, the concession area and bathrooms were clean. Strange that there wasn't a garbage can in the bathroom. Cashiers were friendly. I'd like them to ask if you have your movie ticket. Or am I the only one who forgets to buy tickets with my popcorn? Lol

As our New Year eve tradition continued, we went to see a movie at Regal Theaters in Nanuet. The theater was near empty, the seats super comfortable and the place was clean including the bathrooms. In addition, the volume of the movie was perfect for us, easy to hear but not deafening. The only complaint is that the prices of snacks are outrageously high. A bucket of popcorn and a large soda was $23 and probably cost them 25-50 cents. Other than that, the quality of seating, the availability of first run movies and the cleanliness of all public locations without rowdy crowds and difficult parking make Nanuet Regal a great alternative to the other multiplex in Rockland County. In addition there are several decent restaurants a minute drive from the theater for pre/post food and drink. I'd give it 5 stars if the price of snacks approached reasonable.

Everyone is great here and accommodating, they have a very friendly staff. All the managers like Robert, Mia, and Aaron are great people and Terry the ticket lady is an absolute sweetheart. If you're looking for a great movie experience I recommend the RPX theater over anything but the staff makes it that much better.

We hosted a Ukrainian fundraising event at Regal yesterday. Everything went great and the event was a big success!! Lots of thanks to Miguel, Nolan and Patrick for their dedication and tremendous support during the preparation and at the time of the event, you did an excellent job, thank you!!

I recently visited Macy's mall and was thoroughly impressed with the shopping experience. The mall was clean, well-organized, and had a wide variety of stores to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The mall had a great mix of high-end and affordable stores, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food court was also excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The seating area was spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The mall was also equipped with all the necessary amenities, including restrooms and ample parking. The location was also very convenient, with easy access from major highways. Overall, I would highly recommend Macy's mall to anyone looking for a great shopping experience. It is truly a top-notch mall that is sure to impress even the most discerning shoppers.

This is a mega shopping mall. This mall is grander, more diverse, more delectable and more entertaining than some of the biggest shopping mall in the country. Can’t say this mall is better, but this giant easily outsizes the Roosevelt shopping mall in Long Island, Scottsdale mall in Phoenix, and the Millenia mall in Orlando, FL. There are so many restaurants to dine in. Familiar names include Fogo de Chao, Eddie V and Californian pizza kitchen. And the food court is better - in terms of diversity - than any I’ve ever seen. You will encounter many independent food stalls throughout the mall that offer unique delectables. All the brand names are present in the mall as well. The best part is the Tesla experience shop, imho. You get opportunities to test drive all models of Tesla. There will be unruly teenagers during the weekend evenings, just like any other malls. Looks like the mall is doing something (mandating parents to accompany minors) to curb the situation. This mall is already a very popular destination among locals, but this would be a landmark in any other cities - except NYC, La, San Fran - in the United States.

I met a lady that opened a food kiosk here very down to Earth. She ran the business with her sons. There is also a nice gemstone store here. But the mall itself seemed like a work of art. There was amazing sculptures and art everywhere. Someday I will have to do a full tour of this place. I am not a mall person unless it’s outdoor like the Shops of Nanuet. I was looking for a the Microsoft store and my sons new laptop broke but all stores were shutdown.

Fantastic mall. Lots of shops, both high and mid range. Ample time for the far and central to everything in Bergen County. I recommend it as a stop when you need retail therapy

So many stores! I just wish they had a Bloomingdale’s too. Like to sit in the bar area of California Pizza Kitchen. If you see a table jump on it, there is usually a line.

We went all around to many places to list. The place was packed. We found parking and walked around to get glasses and visit the lego store, game stop and got some ice cream at Haagen Dazs. 5 of us spent $47.00 on ice cream .... ouch Luxury these days is quit expensive.the wait time was 16 minutes after we placed our order.

Fix repair Is deceiving I have bought a cover for my telephone and within 2 weeks it crack and when I came to the store to ask them to exchange that protection of the phone that I have purchased there they refuse. not only they ask me for more money so don't buy anything there because it's all b******* not only not a nice people I don't recommend them it's located above the food court and right in the circle so don't waste your money over there.

This mall is so beautiful. It has lots of stores and the food court is large. Haha.. Loved it so much. New in NJ and looking for where to see a movie? Visit Westfield Garden State plaza! Top notch!

This place is Hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and I love it. It has every store you could possible dream of. For you and everyone in the family. Coming here it’s an all day event. The food court is deliciously and I can’t wait to come back.

Very large. Blend of stores from mid- very high end. Mega food court. Expansive parking lot.

This mall is one of the best malls I have ever been too. So many shops, restaurants and things to do at this mall. It’s huge a mall so bring comfortable walking shoes. I was able to find items in stores and I ate at some delicious places here. Check this place out!

Big mall with poor anchor stores and a lot of smaller stores. Food court is open again, the biggest issue I have with small is the outside traffic getting in and out of the parking areas. Parking itself wasn't hard to find but driving around the mall was terrible. Big AMC there. They now have a bowling alley, although from the outside it almost looks like someone's wedding venue, weird advertisement. They also have other games inside.

It's a very nice mall. There are a lot of shops and restaurants. They already put up the Christmas tree, which is very nice. It's worthy to visit there and taking some pictures.

Westfield Garden State Plaza in New Jersey is one of the largest malls in the United States, offering a vast array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With over 300 stores, including luxury brands and popular retailers, it caters to a diverse range of tastes and preferences. The mall also features amenities like a food court, movie theater, and events spaces, making it a go-to destination for both locals and tourists.

Westfield Garden State Plaza has every store you need to satisfy the needs of everyone in the family. First of all the food court is outstanding! There is a wide variety of food choices. There’s even a Hagan Daz ice cream truck! The brands and stores available will just excite you! Be prepared to walk and spend the day or just run in for a special item. There are plenty of bathrooms throughout the mall and there is artwork displayed in the walking areas! Before you go check out the app so you don’t don’t get lost! Did I mention there’s a huge AMC Theater within the mall. Maybe it’s just me but I always find Garden State Plaza clean. Helpful staff, good food, stocked stores and easily accessible. But remember. The mall is closed on Sundays! Blue laws. Shop till you drop! See ya there!

We had such an awesome time at the mall! The movie theater is spectacular, they are over 15 theaters and they’re very large with comfortably white seats. The only downer that they don’t recline. But at least you can buy tickets in advance! The mall has all the grade stores one would want, Zara, Forever 21, madewell, etc. The food court also has a ton of options, lots of Asian foods, fast food, and healthy food. The mall is designed In a very organized way, it’s easy to get around. The biggest plus is that Parking is free!! Additionally

Been to this convention on about 4 or 5 occasions. Always something going on. Today, was the busiest I've ever seen it. Minerals, rock on one side chocolate expo on the other. Even with last week's being the holistic expo. This was busy but go early if your handicapped. Not enough handicapped parking also wouldn't hurt for shuttles if distance is an issue. Other than that, it's big enough for what they do. Just needs a improved, better parking area.

I recently attended a boat show at the convention center and the venue was just right for the event with plenty of space to accommodate the many boats and exhibits on display. The convention center's lighting and temperature, which is a always an issue at big events, made the environment comfortable and encouraging to take one's time and fully appreciate the boats on show.

I have been going to the Rock, Mineral, jewelry, Gem and fossil show with my daughters 10+ year's now. We love it!! It's fascinating. And too be a part of my daughters life is an awesome thing. I hope that I have many more years to come and enjoy this experience as well as going to museums.

Always an enjoyable time at the Greenberg Train and Toy Show. There is plenty of room for exhibits and vendors as well as shoppers. The only negatives I can think of is the parking; especially if there is another event going on at the same time. I also wish they would expand the cafeteria area a little bit. Seems a bit tight. Other than that, it's a good time for all ages!

Went to an event here and it was packed! Packed with cars parked everywhere around the entire facility including the grass areas. There were tons of people and I would say it was a fairly large convention. With all the traffic and parked vehicles, I was lucky enough to find parking immediately upon my arrival. I'd recommend if you're attending an event ,you should get there early to find desired parking or be prepared to walk a little bit of a distance to the entrance. Note: you will be checked prior to entrance by security (not sure if this is done all the time but, I'm guessing because of the large amount of people attending, it was very necessary). Leaving the facility wasn't a nightmare with all the traffic( if you leave immediately once security tells you it's closing). Highway was also easily accessible. Inside facility was decent with clean bathrooms. Bathrooms were fully stocked and surprisingly not crowded. There are also drink vending machines by entrance for somewhere around $4 or $5 bucks. A bit expensive but was necessary after alot of walking and a long drive.

Today we went to the NJ expo center for the chocolate Expo 2024. Let me tell you....it was very nice. The expo center is very big, very spacious, clean, plenty of bathrooms and they weren't bad! There were standard ticket holders (us) and VIP ticket holders (not us) VIP I saw got a nice tote bag, not sure what other perks. Walking in I recommend you get your 21+ verification so you can try the alcoholic infused chocolates or samples of wine, beer, or wines. It's not only chocolate, they did have a variety of vendors hot sauces, teas, pickles, baked goods and more. They had food available Argentinian empanadas, Jamaican food, pretzels but the giant ones. The Vendors were nice enough to give samples. For a child 12 and under it was not as thrilling But an oldie like me I liked it! I enjoyed walking around meeting these wonderful creators. The happy hour gummy bear owner she was the absolute nicest to talk to too. Local 12 news was there but they only had a spin the wheel for pens, sanitizer and were not as engaging. They had 3 cast members from the original willy wonka movie (back from my time with Gene wilder) But they charged a fee for autographs,picture or both. So that was the only disappointing part. We were looking forward meeting them. Other than that it's a fun time! Time flew! Parking is a pain but it is what it is! Lol I recommend this event! I'll review the vendors I liked individually. I look forward for next year!!! Enjoy!

Organized well. Parking was decent (we arrived 15 minutes early). The kids really enjoyed seeing the trains running. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked.

The New Jersey Convention and Expo Center is a nice, big, clean, well lit place. We went there for the cat show which hasn’t taken place for the last couple years. If you like cats and have never attended a show do treat yourself! It does cost to get in but it makes a good day. Believe in adopt don’t shop? Many rescues attend this show as well. Did you know that you can enter your household moggies? Yup, your pet cat can win ribbons! They usually have a agility course set up as well. There are ambassador’s of different breeds that you can learn more about and pet! Ever wanted to learn CPR in case your pet would need it? They teach that there too! Wonder what they judge the cats on? The judges are quite nice and talk to their audience explaining what they are looking for and what they are seeing with each cat they judge. You can buy tickets to win all kinds of stuff, this year they even had 2 litter robot litter boxes (they run $300-$700). Vendors sell cat furniture, toys, beds, enclosures, jewelry, books and so much more! It’s usually around the middle of July. Come check it out next year!

Went to the Chocolate Expo 2023. Fantastic. Recommend going at 4 pm. It is least crowded. They had so much there. Took some great pictures. Check them out. Tge convention is also on March 12 2023. Buy tickets online cheaper.

Visited the convention center for a Lionel Train show. The facility was nice, the restrooms were clean and the show was fun. But the parking was severely inadequate. Long traffic line to get in to try to park, unmonitored undersized parking area. When leaving it was observed that people were parking all over the place in desperation, including parking far away in other companies' parking lots and walking in. Visiting the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison? Get there SUPER early if you want a decent parking spot. Summer train show was far less crowded.

Garba is a traditional Indian folk dance that is performed during the Navratri festival. It is a lively and energetic dance that is performed in a circular pattern. Garba is a popular dance form in Gujarat, a state in India, and has become increasingly popular in other parts of the world in recent years. The New Jersey Expo Hall is a large indoor event space that is located in Edison, New Jersey. It is a popular venue for a variety of events, including concerts, trade shows, and Garba. The expo hall is easily accessible by car They have free parking lot 🅿️ but not enough for a big event . If you are interested in attending a Garba event in New Jersey, the New Jersey Expo Hall is a great option.

Had a wonderful time today with my family at Jurassic Quest! My soon to be 2 year old absolutely loved it! Kids under 2 yrs get in for free, however I made sure to pre purchase him an unlimited wrist band so that he could experience all the activities they had an unlimited amount of times! Mini playground for toddlers, bouncy houses of all shapes and sizes, live action show with dino, sandbox for dino fossil exploration, stationary dinos you can sit on, face painting, crafting section and much more!

We went for the pet expo the vendors were spaced out perfectly. There was a lot of room that made it easy to move and not overwhelming.

I have been here a few times for a couple different events. The first time I was here was for the Punk Rock Flea Market. And just recently an adult expo. Exxxotica. The place always has a good layout, the floors are always clean. The temperature inside is always perfect. They have a vending machine for drinks and a cafe. The prices are a little high. But not anymore than you would expect for a Con. I have never had trouble with parking and it seems to always be free. It's really close to the turnpike and other highways.

I've gone several times to holiday craft fairs at this location, and this visit was for the Great Train & Toy Show (my brother and nephew tagged along). I'll start with parking...upon arrival we noticed several cars were parked along Sunfield Ave, and no wonder, the lot was packed! But we don't mind a little walk, from waaaay in the back! Event tickets at the door were cash only, no problem. And once inside we were amazed at how many vendors were jammed in there! My nephew was happy too see so many Hot Wheel Car vendors (and I found a couple of Lionel Christmas box cars that caught my eye), but I digress... If attending a convention here, get here early if upfront parking is needed, bring cash (small bills makes it easier to haggle), there was a long line for the back rest room rest room (use the one up front), and the snack bar got quickly crowded (I carry a energy bar or 2, should've brought water), and dinning space was kind of limited. Getting there is fairly easy via Google Maps. New Jersey Expo Center 97 Sunfield Ave, Edison NJ 08837

I came along with HEVI as an exhibitor at the Mid-atlantic buildings and Facilities management show. The center staff helped get our equipment in (and this one felt like it just fit through their largest dock) The convention center and the staff of our event worked together really well to make sure everything came in and out as efficiently as possible. This is not a union space, so we drove our own equipment in. The center had another event going on alongside the show we were at and they put a large curtain to divide the spaces. The only negative experience we had was waiting for staff to request a forklift and a dock to get opened when we were closing out - as no one was at the convention services booth for an extended period of time. - they eventually got there. Some of the rental equipment was a little scratched so we'd personally bring table covers or our own furniture if we were to exhibit again.

Greenberg's Great Train & Toy Show Edison, NJ. March 9th & 10th, 2024

For a smaller museum, it covers a broad range of history quite well! Never realized so many artists got their start in NJ! A few of the interactive audio tracks were a bit too soft or loud. Definitely worth a stop in if you're in the area and love music from Grammy winning artists!

I went there to see the Beatles Experience exhibit. It was ok but not great by any means. There were a few artifacts, like one of Paul's bass guitar, but overall, the exhibit was underwhelming. In over an hour, I was the only person there.

Such a really cool and fantastic museum.

Cool mini version of the L.A Grammy Museum. Small but neat and only $10. I loved the interactive exhibits like playing the drums tutorial and the Beatles exhibit

It is a nice but small museum attached to the Prudential Center. The kids loved the hands on experiences with the instrumentals and the microphones. The displays are cool and seeing the history of music is always fun. You will not spend more than 45 minutes here. Parking can be a pain. Sunday’s are apparently are great day to go as street parking is free (check signs first to confirm and there is no event at the prudential) and there were only 2 other people in the museum.

Very small but fun. I went by myself and spent around 50 min there. Maybe I would have spent more if I went with a friend since there were a lot of interactive activities. Not entirely sure this was worth the $10 bucks but this museum did manage to make me smile quite a few times, so overall if you have an hour to kill in the area it’s a decent place - but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here.

Such a great exhibit especially if you're a Springsteen freak like myself. You get to see Bruce and the band from the beginning to the present. Other artists showcased in there as well. I was there mainly for Bruce‼️‼️❤❤❤💜🎵🎶🎼🥁🎷🎸

Great pop up museum with some interesting artifacts and lots of trivia. Best part was the interactive instrument displays. Entire room about Whitney Houston and lots about NJ musicians. Not very large. Takes about an hour at maximum.

Great experience, we enjoyed our stay. I hope that more artists contribute to personal items, but overall a nice experience.

This year I put 4 stars, because the first time I bought almost nothing. many things, but really nothing good. there was a sale at Disney, my favorite store for both children and adults, I always buy something. Big Parking lots. Food court on the second floor.

The absolute shopping heaven for clothing and sporting goods. Massive mall and outlet with good entertainment and food offerings. Great parking. Almost all the brands can be found under one roof. Just be prepared for long walk from shop to shop... There are plenty of bargains to be found. Ideally try and avoid busy weekends to avoid the crowds as the place is popular (for good reasons).

Large mall, Loads of variation in shops, some great bargains. Can't believe how many people actually wear crocs with socks whilst walking about🤦🏽‍♂️🤯🤣 plenty of food places, we come across from NYC used the direct 111 bus from the NYC port authority to the mall, there's a bus every hour.

For those of us coming from France, this shopping center is quite large, with clear directions for easy navigation and finding a store. The staff is highly skilled, young, and friendly. The prices and quality are simply breathtaking. Public transportation access is regular, making it very easy to reach whether you're coming from NYC or elsewhere.

The mall is large but you still won’t find there every store you would like to visit. The food option are here plenty but they are in the end all the same, higher prices and unhealthy food.

Huge mall with a lot of the known stores such as Nike, Levis, Adidas, Gap, Vans etc.. good selection and prices. The Levis store for example had a 50% off on the second item which makes it a really good deal. The mall itself is wide and easy to navigate, with a food court and toilet.

Best outlet store In New Jersey I gave them 4 stars Cuz I got lost the place is HUGE and on the Lower level u must find the elevator and are in weird are located // mejor plaza the outlet de new jersey estan todas las marcas a mejor precio.

With so much available space it's a shame not to have lockers to store shopping bags, it is one of the most convenient options for malls like this unless you rather people pop in buy from one store and just leave. If you are expecting people spend time you need to think of providing convenient services specifically considering geographic location of you at Newark there are many visitors whom do not drive and do not have the option to store their shopping bags inside their cars

It is a big mall where you can buy anything you want especially shoes, clothing, accessories, etc. Shops are neatly arrange and big free parking. Also there many food establishments to choose from

Jersey Garden is always good to visit during the holidays. Mall gets crowded during the holidays but that's the fun of shopping in holidays. Hugh parking lot with AMC theater next to it if you want to watch movie. You will find all the type of stores in this mall. Mall has two stories and food court is upstairs.

It's a big shopping mall with everything you want/need inside. Prices are usually good and they have nice discounts. All types of fast-foods and caffees are present so you have a lot to choose from. Also if you require good internet connection I think the AT&T area has the best one.

This mall is massive with many options to choose from what you could buy here, there is a nice food court with many options. The vibe here is nice to go strolling even if not buying anything as there is still plenty to see and get inspiration from purchases that could be for the future. There are some stores that offer services rather than goods too.

good complex. many useful and interesting shops. you need to come for a long time, then the visit will be productive. Also, you can eat here.

Very Big mall with lots of factory outlets, huge free parking space. Free wifi you can easily spend whole day here with whole family. For entertainment besides mall AMC theater is also available. If you are dependent on public transport please verify the schedule when the last bus departs else you will have to book a cab only.

It’s a great outlet mall. Has pretty much all the stores and brands you can think of. Also always great sales

Every store under the sun! Huge parking area. Excellent outlet prices. People come here with suitcases and shop til they drop! We have been coming for years. There are also great restaurants to get your energy back after so much shopping 😉

Always clean place , crowded or no still the stuff working there are so nice and welcoming you with their smile , just love going there to do the shopping and have a nice time . They also offer like a map book that gives you amazing discounts in all the brands there

The mall is well built, very clean and tidy, and there are a lot of brands in the mall. Unfortunately the style of the merchandise I didn't like much.

Great selection of the stores, great prices. Clean general space/hallways and food court, though bathrooms are dirty, lack toilet paper and working sinks. Ample amount of parking.

Used the charging station in the mall parking lot. Large and well lit. Many chargers by Tesla and Electrify America. Most worked. Area was clean and very convenient to the mall and its amenities.

Den Besuch der Mall verbunden mit unserem New York Aufenthalt. Sehr angenehme Mall, mit tollen Geschäften und Angeboten. Gleich morgens um 10.00 noch angenehm, danach wird es voller, aber immer noch auszuhalten. Toll waren die vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, teilweise auch zum Handy aufladen und warten. Oase mit diversen Diners, ob Italian, chinesisch, Burger, Fries, gute Auswahl. Die Restrooms sind sauber und gepflegt. (Translated by Google) The visit to the mall combined with our stay in New York. Very pleasant mall, with great shops and offers. It's still pleasant first thing in the morning at 10 a.m. After that it gets more crowded, but still bearable. It was great to have lots of seating, some of which were also great for charging your cell phone and waiting. Oasis with various diners, whether Italian, Chinese, burgers, fries, good selection. The restrooms are clean and well maintained.

People we know made recommendations to shop Jersey Gardens for a prom dress. It was a Very Busy Sunday afternoon. The Mall Staff was pleasant and professional. The Restrooms were Filthy. The Store Staffs were overwhelmed by the crowds. Based upon the customer service received in the individual stores - we were left with no other choice than to continue our search elsewhere - and eventually bought the MOST GORGEOUS dress for our Loved One in NY. The Staff had the time to be far more attentive - and gave us many options to choose from. The dress was reasonably priced and looked flawless.

Massive mall filled with every store imaginable. Easy access by bus although the bus stop is a little farther away from the main entrance than I would like. Decent amount of seating with couches between shops to hang out and take a break from the shopping.

Doesn’t feel like a traditional outlet which is go because you can come here when the weather isn’t great. There are some good deals to be found here. Come when they first open to avoid the crowds. Only complaint is that the elevators are a little hidden.

Vast mall with too many brands and franchises. Always clean and safe. I feel secure when sometimes I see local law enforcement offices with canines securing the safety of the shoppers. Sometimes, mostly weekends and holidays, you won't find a spot to park.
