My wife and I were headed to the Ross Zoo but opted out at the last minute due to the rain. This place is not designed for a couple of senior citizens to walk around but since I was here I decided to take a look outside. The outside walk through was magnificent and I could see my three grandchildren (one girl, two boys) truly enjoying all the touch and explore exhibits. Sound, flowers even a small playhouse. This type of exhibt really forces the children to use their sensory abilities including their imagination. One obvious observation is the tremendous use of color here. The design will surely captivate the children KUDOs to the team of the Discovery Center of the Southern Tier.

I loved all the pretend play, from doctor's office, dentist office, the bank, the car shop, the vet, the grocery store, etc. Sure some stuff is pretty outdated/old, but at the same time there were some features we hadn't seen at other children's discovery museums, such as the flight simulator. We had a fun time and spent maybe 1.5 hours here.

The biggest thing QUIET HOURS... the rude workers in the office expect you to just run to your tent put the fire out and go night night at 11pm SHARP. Yes I understand shut the music down at 11pm but when kids and parents are screaming at 6:00am in the morning it's perfectly ok?! Crazy "double standards". ALSO from my years of River safety and experience the life jackets that they have, are ripped, missing buckles, old and are past their expiration... if you want to enjoy camping without a headache and cognitive people go to LANDERS RIVER TRIPS!!!!! God forbid a yn wants a good trip.

We had a really enjoyable trail ride here and would recommend it, especially if you appreciate a…read moredirect and safety-focused approach. After reading some other reviews, I think it's important to set the right expectations. This is essentially a one-woman operation, run by an independent and hardworking owner, Elinor, who is deeply passionate about her horses. Her number one priority is the safety of the riders and her animals, and her entire system is built around that. Her communication style is direct, loud, and to-the-point. We found this to be a huge asset on the trails, as you can always hear her instructions clearly. She refers to riders by their horse's name, which is an efficient way to keep track of everyone. If you are good at following directions and want to be led by a confident, experienced guide, you will be in great hands. A few things to know: Policies are for a reason: You'll be asked to leave phones and keys in your car. This is partly for safety (things can easily fall on the trail) and, I suspect, to protect the integrity of her business. She is clear about her policies and expects you to follow them. She's a solo act: Because she runs everything herself, the trails aren't perfectly manicured, but she is an expert at navigating them and will guide you around any obstacles. The fields are truly beautiful and my friend said the long, rustic grasses blowing in the wind gave the ride a more authentic experience and reminded her the prairies in books she read growing up. Because Elinor is a one-woman superstar, this also means she's very busy, so be patient when it comes to receiving the photos she takes. She is accommodating: Despite her busy schedule, she was incredibly kind and responded to us at 11:30 PM the night before to add another rider to our group. Bottom Line: If you're looking for a polished, multi-staff operation with pristine trails and lots of hand-holding, this might not be the fit for you. But if you want an authentic, safe, and efficient riding experience led by a true horsewoman who knows what she's doing, you will have a fantastic time. We respected her expertise and her hustle.

The horses are in terrible condition, the tack is old and ill-fitting, the helmets are old and…read moredirty, they stuff multiple blankets under the saddles so they don't fall off the horse, and Elinor is nasty and ignorant. The wooded trails they use do not belong to them so they are all trespassing on a neighbor's property. Avoid this place like the plague!

I would say the service and activities we got is worth something around $150 max. Don't be deceived by the photos and videos they post on the internet. They are very disorganized. Most of the programs that were supposed to take place during our stay never happened. The indoor gym and all the amenities they have are either broken, disfunction or out of service including billiards, ping pong table...etc. The artchery was a joke. They only had one arrow for the whole group to practice with! Most of the bikes are broken, or with no breaks and dirty, so if you are planing a family ride, just forget about it. There were no islamic lectures, reflection after Fajr prayer, Nasheed or group bonding whatsoever! every group tried on their own to mingle but there were no efforts done by the camp. They had Bouncy house for kids with NO supervision or camp counselor at all. Older kids literally jumped on younger ones. Two kids got hurt and had a bloody nose. The cabin was moldy and dirty to say the least. As for the food, I'm not going to comment because some found it inedible others said it can pass, I have to say that we left after 24 hours as we couldn't stay for another day. I would never recommend it for anyone. PS. The owner and his family were there, they never apologized for not sticking to the program or for the broken amenities. They are a nice family but when it comes to business, they really needed to be more honest with their communications. They sent us email with videos that included a fully functioning place, the truth was different.
