    Building where you pay for golf, food and ice cream.
    Christopher C.

    Over the years Bear Rock Junction has slowly added on to their offerings trying to become a real one stop shop. They started with their two mini-golf courses and their miniature train ride but that expanded to offering ice cream and food. Over the years they expanded the length of the train ride along with adding go karts and a seasonal corn maze with hayride. I have never driven the go karts (nor will I ever) so I can't comment on that nor can I comment on their corn maze as I've only seen it from driving by on 309 nor can I comment on their hayrides or pumpkin picking as we have several options for each much closer to home. No, when we come it's for old school outdoor seasonal mini-golf. A huge shout-out needs to go to ownership who clearly spend some dough to keep everything looking in good shape. The outdoor mini-golf carpets are overall in good shape and the grounds are always well landscaped and manicured. The course while not as crushingly difficult as courses like Putt-U or The Caddy Shack in Manheim, is solid with some water in play especially on the track #2 course but for the most part it's the need to be able to bank or angle things (having some grasp of geometry wouldn't be a bad thing) is what's going to save you from a bunch of 5's or 6's. In case you were wondering if the courses have putt-putt street cred, no dice here as they do not offer a free game hole which is really the only let down about playing here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A Afterwards they offer the usual Italian Ice and ice cream offerings that you would expect along with burgers, dogs, chicken fingers, fries and pizza on weekends only Overall Bear Rock is not the best course in the area as that still goes to Putt-U nor is it personally the best course I've ever played in terms of fun (Tee-Time in OCNJ) or in terms of getting my balls broken with difficulty (The Caddy Shack in Manheim) but what it is would be a solid and well maintained mini-golf course that is fun and slightly challenging at the same time. If you go: Check their website or the FB page for current hours as they do change. Golf: Adults: $7.50 Children (4-12): $5.50 Seniors: $6.50 Train Rides: Saturdays & Sundays 2pm-8pm $2.50/per person Go Karts: Driver: $11.75 (must be a minimum of 56″) Rider: $4.40 (must be a minimum of 36″) Corn Maze/Hay Ride: Admission: $6.50 per person Hayride: $2.50 per rider Friday 5-9pm; Saturday & Sunday 12-9pm Credit is accepted!

    My wife wanted to take the kids to go miniature golfing and I found Bear Rock Junction. The reviews here were good so I thought this would be a great place to try out this past Saturday. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. We all played miniature golf and had a great time. The course was very clean and well maintained and was not too easy. I was able to get two hole in ones and my 7 year old son did as well and boy was he so happy. As for the go carts, it is so much fun. The track is good and challenging. The speed is satisfying. People are nice. Wait is acceptable. It is not cheap, but for it is worth it. The ice cream was cold and good, but nothing amazing. It lacked a wow factor, but was smooth, creamy enough and hard. Overall, we had a great time here. The prices seem competitive with what is nearby and all the staff here was great, which goes a long way. I would definitely recommend coming here for miniature golf.

    Mini golfing!

    Mini golf is what we go for, but they also have paintball, a go kart track, and a cute little train that rides into the surrounding woods!

My son had a blast. You are allowed unlimited play, but we were good after one round. They sell ice cream and water ice, so we treated ourselves on the way out. Overall we had a really nice time. There is also plenty of parking. *They are open during COVID-19 and ask that you social distance. While we were there, this was not a problem. The inside building is closed, but you can still golf and get ice cream. There is a port-a-potty available and multiple hand sanitizer stations throughout.

There's one 18-hole course, and it's around $10 per person. The best part is that you can stay and play as many times as you want, so you can get your money's worth if you're up for multiple rounds. Or, more realistically, you can play again to try to redeem yourself after that embarrassing 6 on the 4th hole! The course was well maintained, fun, and just challenging enough to keep things interesting. There's quite a bit of water, and it's surprisingly easy to find yourself fishing your ball out of a pond. Fortunately, the balls float, and there are strategically placed nets in the spots where you're most likely to need them, which is a nice touch. You'll also find the usual obstacles like rocks and "sand traps." Although, calling them sand traps is being pretty generous--they're more like rock traps. I would have liked to see a little more theming throughout the course and some different types of hazards. Once you've conquered the water and rocks, there isn't a whole lot of variety. They also have an indoor, air-conditioned snack bar serving Nelson's ice cream, which is a pretty great way to cool off after a round--or recover emotionally from the hole that just ruined your score. Overall, it's a nice, well-kept mini golf course with reasonable pricing, unlimited play, and a few good challenges. It may not have the elaborate themes or crazy obstacles of some of the bigger courses, but it's a fun place to spend some time and definitely worth checking out.

    We checked out Tiny Tee's Village at Village Greens Mini Golf today, and it was such a cute…read moreexperience for little kids. All of us got in for $22.50 total, which was an amazing price. Each child was $7.50, and I didn't have to pay. There's also a local discount, which was a nice bonus if your local (Central PA) . The best part is that your kids get wristbands for all-day access, so you can leave and come back later. The wristbands were convenient, but not every kid loves wearing them. One of mine tried to pull theirs off, so that's something to keep in mind. The entire village is set on turf, which made it feel clean and easy for kids to run around. There are around 10 little houses, all filled with fun, imaginative play setups. Things do get a little mixed around from kid to kid, but it didn't take away from the experience at all. There isn't much shade, and on a hot day it definitely makes a difference. We stayed for about an hour, from around 11 to 12, and that heat was the main reason we left. Food and drinks aren't allowed inside the village for kids, but parents can walk around with coffee, which is a plus. There is a food and drink stand on-site if you want to grab something. The setup overall is super convenient. Bathrooms are right there, and you pay at the main mini golf area when you arrive. There are also extra outdoor games included, like giant checkers and tic-tac-toe, which added even more value without extra cost. Parking is easy with angled spots, and when we went it wasn't crowded at all. The location is also perfect if you're already exploring nearby spots like Choo Choo Barn, Strasburg Rail Road, or Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Everything is within about 10 minutes. There were a few bees and wasps around, which is expected for an outdoor space. It wasn't overwhelming, and it didn't interfere with play. This would be a great spot for playdates or casual meetups. The price is hard to beat, and it's an easy, fun outing for younger kids. I'd definitely go back, just aiming for a cooler day next time.

Damn right you can!! luckystrokes.com/hours The above link covers the current hours in the offseason, well sort of because that link shows the driving range lights as being on until 9 but there is a note taped to the self-serve ball dispenser that current lights off is actually 8 and based on my own personal experience last week, it's more like 7:55. The below link has the current pricing information. luckystrokes.com/home-page Also note, if you come there is a list of range rules. One of them is that you are supposed to aim at the targets they have in the field. Admittedly, there aren't too many dudes showing up in winter to hit but fwiw, I have yet to see one (self-included) go along with that. Everyone is just cranking and wherever it goes, it goes. Overall, the pricing is fare, the carpets are in decent shape and I'm just grateful to have a place somewhat close that chooses to think outside the box a little to offer us hard core contrarian loons something very fun & different to do in winter.

    It's probably been well over a decade since I was last here with family and my kids were small. Now…read morethey are big and we still had just as much fun! Knoebels does so many things right. On weekdays you can purchase (online for better discounts) a "ride all day" pass or buy the ticket books ($170 online for a $200 book or $400 for a $500 book I believe). Weekends it's only the ticket books. Parking is free! Kiosk foods are reasonably priced. Most "adult" rides are priced at $5 and they have some great ones like the two wooden coasters, the Phoenix and the Twister (I preferred the Phoenix with its up and down butt lifting airtime). My kids with their all day passes went on a lot of sick-makers, and we parents and grandparents held down the fort on most of the other rides but did ride a Log flume, bumper cars, and a toboggan ride which they say is not a coaster but it rides like one. The longest time we spent in line was about a half-hour if that. We ate lunch at the Alamo which was average but nice to have table service and air conditioning. Got in about 9000 steps and were there from 12:15 to a bit after 8pm and they were open today on a Thursday from 12pm to 9pm. We purchased online three all day ride passes for $54 each and $100 in ride tickets for the additional four adults. When you get in the park and head to the ticketing building, save some time and go to the smaller building with two lines on the left side. Have your phones ready with the QR codes and usually, you'll get your ticket books and passes much quicker than having to wait in the long lines at the main building. We rode everything we wanted to and only had to spend another $5 in tickets. Food came to $150 including tax and tip for lunch at the Alamo for seven adults, and an additional $50 for a pick-me-up snack in the evening which included five orders of pierogies and onions, a BBQ sandwich, and a chicken fries. This got us more than ready for the trip back to the rental. If you purchase a souvenir cup, you can get free water refills anywhere or $1soda refills. We went through a lot of water refills throughout the day but used the free ones to fill our own brought-in water bottles and then went back for more refills. They also have a nice looking water park which is an extra cost and we did not do. The log flume took care of that for a bit. My dad lost his baseball cap on the first drop but two logs behind us a family saved the day and was able to fish it out of the water while they were riding so we got it back at the end of the ride! My wife said she had a wet butt a good rest of the day. Almost every ride line had name graffiti on any open spot. Something should be done about this daily because if it's not removed immediately (after hours job) then the problem will compound itself with others just doing the same. Brought the experience down for me a little bit. So, about $460 for the day for seven adults. Everyone had a blast and thankfully, no one felt ill after the long day. Dogs are welcome here and we got to pet a lot of them. Ask first! All staff interactions were pleasant but you could tell that some of the teenaged staff were wishing they had their cell phones...especially the ones who were not on busy rides or kiosks. Everyone was very friendly. Very happy with our experience today at Knoebels Amusement Park.

You can just walk around in here for 0 dollars. You can go the ticket route per ride/game or get a wristband depending on the payment structure they have going on that day, but either way, the rides are cheap. The haunted house here is such a classic and their wooden roller coasters are so so so great. Love you Knoebels.
