What's more quintessential summer bucket list than a drive-in movie!!!!…read more Evergreen Drive-In has been doing drive-ins for way longer than I've been alive and they know how to make the experience perfect! With three movie screens and lots, you always have options to pick from when coming to a movie. We were prepared for large crowds as we went for Toy Story 5's opening weekend. You can arrive earlier than the listed box office time. We showed up at 6:30 and drove right in! Come early, grab a spot, and enjoy the summer! We came hungry so we stopped by the Concession Stand. They do request that you don't bring your own food... and you won't be disappointed with the options. We, of course, grabbed the commemorative large popcorn bucket.. it was the perfect amount for 4 adults! I also snagged a Pepperoni Roll, large coke, and a box of Bunch-a-Crunch! The prices are reasonable and help to keep this community icon up and running for years to come. As you enter, they give you a list of rules and a small bag for any trash. Both of these keep the place clean and avoid any issues throughout the night. I cannot wait to come back for more movies all summer long!!

My boyfriend and I came here a couple years ago and were so excited to return. Since it's over an…read morehour away from Pittsburgh, we planned a weekend getaway to Somerset with two of our friends and came on the last Saturday of the season. We had trouble finding it at first... My gps took us to a barn and said "you have arrived at your destination "... To me, there are few things that are scarier than being lost on a dark country road. I called Huston's and the woman I spoke to was very helpful and gave us the appropriate directions from our location. For $18 a person, it's not a cheap haunted attraction. Although, the house, hayride and corn maze are all included in the price, making it not too bad of a deal. It was super cold when we arrived. So, to warm up I ordered a hot chocolate and my boyfriend got a coffee. It was only $2.25 for both . Unfortunately, you cannot take drinks in to the house, so we kind of had to chug them before going in. The house was awesome- my favorite parts were the clown house where you wore 3D glasses and the walk over the swamp was pretty cool as well. Next, you take a hayride over to a haunted area in the woods. After you walk through there you go back onto the tractor and are taken to a haunted maze. I was disappointed in the maze this year.. It wasn't hard to navigate and there wasn't anyone scaring you in the maze, making it kind of pointless. Our favorite guy of the night was beetle juice! Not sure if he owns the place or what, but he was extremely welcoming when we arrived and asked us how we liked it when we were done with the house, hayride and maze. He was super friendly and his costume was awesome- he even sounded exactly like beetle juice. Overall, it's a great haunted attraction, but not worth it if you are coming from Pittsburgh just for the house and not staying over night. As a weekend getaway, I really enjoyed it and plan to return in the future!

Our family always enjoys visiting the Banana Split Festival every August. They have so many great…read moreactivities for kids. Today we went to the library and met a therapy horse, played in a bouncy house, had our face painted, played hop scotch, colored pictures, and did banana split and Daniel Tiger crafts. There is something for everyone. We also enjoyed watching all of the entertainment and singers. And of course we had to get a banana split! There are many food trucks and different vendors selling homemade items too. All and all it's a great time!

It's still good, but there's a lot of ground they have to cover yet. I'd say that you should check them out if you're in the area, and I hope they continue to improve and work on the rough edges that are still present. Pro Tip: Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes or boots, you'll be doing a lot of walking/running out there!

The only entertainment was the painfully awkward dialogue of the actors, and the entire experience was not scary at all. The challenges did not make sense and were not interesting. The grave digger challenge involved lasers that "used to be blue but now are red because of the blood." Yes, it is truly this ridiculous. The entire experience was laughable and a waste of money. The challenge trail was nightmarish, but not in the way intended.

Bella Terra Vineyards is a winery, restaurant, and event venue in the small town of Hunker in…read moreWestmoreland County. It sells a variety of dry and sweet wines (e.g., red, white, rose, sparkling, and cider), cocktails, mocktails, and beers. Some vineyards are on the grounds as are many barrels and bottles of wines. The restaurant has both indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating in lakeside cabanas and winter igloos. It is open for brunch/lunch and dinner. It is a nice setting for daily dining as well as special events such as weddings, bridal and baby showers, and private parties. Furthermore, the website lists activities such as bingo, painting and candle-making classes, live music with dancing, and more. For my husband and me, I made a reservation for lunch in an igloo. Our igloo was large enough to fit eight people and cost $50 plus foods and drinks. A larger "party dome" fits up to 14 people and has a fee of $75. The temperatures outside were very cold, but our igloo was kept warm by an electric fireplace and a zippered door. Throughout our meal, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. The Bistro menu listed shareables (e.g., pretzel sticks and charcuterie board), several smash burgers, several flatbreads, mains (e.g., fish and chips, cajun chicken pasta, and quinoa bowl), several salads, several handhelds (e.g., turkey melt, veggie wrap, and Italian panini), many sides, and a couple of desserts. Prices were moderate. (The menus for Sunday Brunch and a group Gathering differ.) The waitress first brought our Sweet Wine-Cookie Flight (4.5 stars), which consisted of the following pairs: Diamond Reo with Brown Sugar Pop Tart, Sweet Finley with Chocolate Salted Caramel, Riesling with Cookies and Cream, and Rose Cider with Strawberry Crunch. The wine glasses came in a wooden box, which was slightly too small, so I needed several minutes of time to carefully pull each wine glass out of the box. I, however, did enjoy the sweet flavors of the wines and cookies. Next our waitress brought out our shareable and two mains. The Hummus Plate (4.5 stars) consisted of fresh and tasty hummus, feta, olives, top seedz crackers, tomatoes, cucumbers, green and red peppers, carrots, celery, and tzatziki. My main course was Crab Cakes (4 stars) with a substituted side of salad. Two crab cakes were a decent size of 4 ounces each, but I would have preferred more crab meat. I liked the garlic aioli. My husband's main course was the Cali Burger (4 stars) with a side of fries. In a brioche bun, a beef patty was topped with fontina cheese, applewood-smoked bacon (which he would prefer be crispier), avocado, avocado ranch, lettuce, and pickles (which he commented were nicely crunchy and sweet-sour) (no tomato at his request). The total price for the flight, shareable, two mains, and a soda was $98 plus sales tax and tip (plus the earlier $50 fee for the igloo).

The staff have always been very helpful when choosing a wine and provide tastes to see if you like them.
