That wouldn't be such a problem if the bins that are at like every other hole that say "extra balls" don't have any golf balls them.

Extremely disappointing experience at the Newark location. I would strongly encourage parents to…read morethink carefully before enrolling their children here for ninja class and any gymnastics program. My children (ages 4, 6, and 8) missed ONE class during a 10-week session. Their written policy states that students are allowed one makeup class or open gym, yet the gym refused to honor it despite weeks of calls, emails, messages, and even an in-person visit trying to resolve the issue respectfully. What made this situation especially frustrating was the constant shifting of explanations as to why my children were being denied a makeup class. First, I was told that "makeups are not guaranteed per our policies (which are listed online)." I thoroughly reviewed their entire online policy page multiple times, and nowhere does it state that makeups are automatically denied under these circumstances or that end-of-session makeups are prohibited. Second, their policy also does not explain how families are supposed to schedule a makeup when the missed class happens at the very end of a session. Once I pointed out that obvious gap in the policy, the explanation then changed to: the session had ended, so the kids could no longer make up the class. Then the explanation changed yet again to claiming I "never contacted them" to arrange a makeup. That statement is completely contradicted by documented calls, emails, voicemails, and follow-ups over several weeks. I even contacted the gym 2 weeks PRIOR to missing the class to ask how the makeup process worked and was told the absence first had to occur before scheduling could happen. Afterward, I repeatedly attempted to coordinate the makeup and received no meaningful communication in return. The responses I did receive were extremely short, dismissive, and defensive. At one point I was even told my attempts to resolve the issue were "excessive," despite the fact that the only reason I kept reaching out was because nobody would provide a clear answer or reasonable resolution. I also came to the gym in person hoping to speak with someone face to face. I spoke with a supposed manager and still got nowhere. I requested a direct phone call or face-to-face meeting with the owners to discuss the issue professionally, and those requests were denied as well. The amount of effort this gym put into gatekeeping a single open gym makeup for three young children was honestly unbelievable. The Newark location feels poorly managed and lacking accountability. The impression I was left with is that customer concerns are ignored, policies are interpreted differently depending on the situation, and families are dismissed the moment they ask questions or point out inconsistencies. This entire issue could have been resolved with one reasonable conversation and basic customer service. Instead, it became weeks of avoidance, contradictory explanations, and dismissive treatment over one missed class. Parents absolutely deserve to know how concerns are handled here before committing their time and money.

After my Yelp friend David H. posted about this small gem last month, I had to take a look myself…read moreas I have been in the area numerous times but had honestly never heard about this place. Just to keep the history lesson short, it was built by York County in 2007 and it is one of a series of ten overlooks that are at different points in the county all of which give views of the Susquehanna River. susquehannariverlands.com/the-great-outdoors/scenic-overlooks/highpoint-scenic-vista-rec-area/ The set up is fairly simple. There is a small parking lot at the base of the overlook on Hilt Road. At the base there is a picnic bench and a port-a-blaster along with some literature about York County parks/area trails. From there it's up and around the trail which is a 1/2 mile loop with five way point stops that I guess are made to have you appreciate the view from different angles? At the top the view is very nice. It's literally the same as if you were over at Samuel S. Lewis State Park except that now you're two-ish miles closer to the river. The overlook from Samuel S. Lewis is higher and is visible from here and the top of the vista here is very visible from Sam Lewis. We were here around 35 minutes and the parking lot was packed but people were at different point of the incline and on other trails nearby so things never felt cramped or rushed. While I'm not necessarily sure that this place needs a return visit, I'm glad we came and I appreciate David putting this one on my/everyone's Yelp radar as it is a unique spot worth a brief stop.

If you live locally it may be worthwhile but the drive for me was such a waste of my time for what this was. Ready? It's a: Big Wooden Castle Yep, that's it, folks. A gigantic version of that swingset-clubhouse combo you bought at Costco only to rot in your backyard because spiders and rain made it so unpleasant for kids that they refuse to use it. It's that creepy clubhouse times 30! It's pretty much a regular playground with most kids swarming the swings and other play features with a few venturing into the old wood play structure. They go in once and don't go back in again. My son was cursed at by older boys who appeared beyond the age guidelines (and I was surprised to see them still interested in a playground). In the myopic darkness of the castle, my son banged his head when inside the dank structure there was suddenly an unmarked (unlit) drastic change in ceiling height. Needless to say this experience was a turn off. Most kids really preferred being out in daylight because the castle felt more like a dungeon. It was fun to see friends and we enjoyed the togetherness of the play date but unless I'm in the area and desperate for a kid distraction, I won't be back.

Honestly though, I would have been just as happy to spend a whole day driving to each stop and walking along the trails. There's never enough time to do it all. There's a number of ways to see it. We booked a small-group tour out of Philadelphia on a beautiful day in September. You can tour it on your own (by car) or book the trolley tour. The National Park Service app is very helpful if you're going the self-guided route. It also gives you closure alerts and the time & place of events throughout the day. The musket firing demonstration just happened to be offered that day. It was one of the highlights of our visit. I won't get into details since I've already reviewed each stop separately. Just know that it was just as fun driving over the Knox bridge and seeing wildlife near the roads along the meadows and creek. We saw a couple of white-tailed deer as well as a cute little spotted fawn that looked like Bambi. That was another highlight for us. The historical houses, monuments, redoubts, and replica huts are scattered throughout Valley Forge. There are bridges and trails along Valley Creek and the Schuylkill River for hikers and nature lovers. We saw many people enjoying the walk. Their dogs were loving it too. It truly was a fun day for all. Don't miss it!

Can't ask for more as you're able to spend a perfect day at this park. The welcome center is a great start as they offer a great orientation video in a large theater that runs often. Then you can tour the museum for little bit of more history to absorb in! Gift shop offers great souvenirs! The park is clean and easy to get around as you may go at your own pace in your own car touring the park stopping at attractions. The map is easy to use and follow. Or you can purchase an audio tour or rent bikes. Love the history and the information provided. Great attractions that makes you feel in the moment when visiting. Love George Washington's quarters and the barracks around the park along with the artillery park. Hands down one of the best major attractions that you must visit when in the area.

They do have value passes for daily usage, or they do have annual passes too which is cool. They got a cafeteria that serves Pizza, hot dogs and snacks located all the way in the right-hand side corner and lot of tables and place to eat. They got some beverages too. The restrooms are well maintained and clean for usage. The staff is friendly, and this place is definitely worth visiting to take younger kids to play. We visited this location on a Sunday evening and the place was almost full. Like other locations, they do have private party hall and then some common party area with benches and chairs. Definitely a good place to spend some time for a party!!

We were looking for a place to take the kids on a really cold day. Most of the indoor playgrounds…read morerequire a timed appointment, but this place didn't so we decided to give it a try. First of all, I think the price is a bit high for the little it includes. I think it was $12 per kid (adults free) but all that gets you is access to the climbing/slide area. You have to buy a card for all the games, rides and other activities. However, it was nice to let our kids run around for a bit, although of course they didn't want to spend time in the climbing area when there were games and other attractions all around. One other nice thing is you can leave and come back all day long. We choose to grab lunch elsewhere and come back for some more fun. Don't think I would be back but happy it was available when we needed somewhere to go!

Since I'm new to area one of my errands was getting library and rec center cards. Fortunately for…read moreme, you can do both things in one place. The Rec Center: Overall, I liked the layout of the rec center, and the folks that helped with getting a card were SUPER friendly and helpful. While I have not officially used the rec center, I was a bit disappointed with the the size of the weight room. The size of the weight room reminds of a weight room that one would find in a hotel. However, the gym did look like it had everything that one would need for a decent workout. Also, I was a bit surprised that the rec center does not open until 9 am on weekdays (and Saturday). Based on my prior rec center experiments, I'm used to rec centers opening from 5:30 to 7 am. Then again, perhaps, these hours are for the summer months. The Library: Again, the librarian who signed me up for a card was very friendly. Also, I loved how she gave me a very thorough overview of this branch's services and resources. Although I was in the library for only a few minutes, I thought it was very well organized.

More so, I've noticed visitors take care to leave the park clean and just as they found it. I went for the first time this year earlier this week and was reminded just how much I love this beautiful space. If you are a senior, go to the office before you head to the park and get a senior pass. It gives you and everyone in your car free entry and it's a lifetime pass! My dad popped in after meaning to for so long and got the whole process done in a few minutes. No pass? It's just $5 per person. The folks in the office and the ticketing both are all friendly, kind and so helpful. They even had treats for our pups waiting in the backseat. There are so many different sections of the park to explore and visit. There's a beach for swimming complete with everything from a dock to a lifeguard, a rockier and more quiet area for fishing. They have a section for those camping. A perfect visit during the summer months. Enjoy!

The site itself was peaceful and surrounded by beautiful trees. It's roughly 800 feet from the dock to the campsite, but be prepared -- the trail is very rocky with little hills and high rocks, which makes dragging coolers, camping gear, and other supplies to the site pretty challenging. Definitely pack accordingly! There is a designated trash area, which is great, although it's a bit of a walk from the campsite. We also did see people hiking behind our campsite, so I wouldn't say the site is completely private, but it was definitely private enough to feel secluded and peaceful. Cell service was also very limited, which can be a positive or negative depending on what you're looking for. It definitely gave us more of that unplugged camping experience. The biggest downside was the picnic table. It is in pretty rough shape, with several boards cracked, warped, and deteriorating. It really needs some serious repair or replacement. Considering how beautiful the site is, having a decent picnic table would make the experience even better. Overall, we really enjoyed Site 32. Beautiful scenery, unbelievably clear water, great fishing, and a peaceful camping experience. Just be prepared for the rocky walk from the dock, limited cell service, and a picnic table that definitely needs some TLC!
