We visited on a Friday afternoon during the school year and it was the perfect day for it, not crowded at all, staff was warm and attentive everywhere you turned, and there was just so much to explore across two floors. As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for places where kids are learning without even realizing it and this delivered completely. My little ones were engaged the entire time, bouncing between exhibits and coming back to do things on repeat. The water table on the second floor was a huge hit (dam building = instant obsession), the crawl-through body exhibit had them giggling the whole way through, and the immersive hall with the giant projector and the orchestra activity where they put their faces into the performers? They talked about that the whole ride home. We timed our visit to catch the 3 o'clock otter feeding and training, definitely worth planning around. Maybe 30 people gathered and it was totally manageable and really sweet to watch. What surprised me most was how engaged I was as an adult. I was genuinely learning things alongside my kids, which is not always the case at these types of places. It felt appropriate and interesting for every age in our group. A few things to know before you go: follow the directions on their website for the specific parking garage , it's about a 5-minute walk and was only $5 for us. Strollers and wagons are totally doable with elevators throughout. They also have a café if you want to make a full day of it, and rotating special exhibits (always check the website ahead of time so you know what's on and whether it fits your crew). We stayed about two and a half hours and left happy. Already thinking about when we're coming back.

I have seen every special exhibit and let me tell ya - not worth any extra fee, especially what they charge. But with that said the Da Vinci center is only really worth it for the "special exhibit". It REALLY pays off to become a member even if you think you'll go once a season. Nothing so impressive. No real meaningful selling points. It's just okay. I liked it better when it was on CC. Go on Sundays. It's empty and street parking is free.

Major points for being able to accommodate gluten restrictions. The views at sunset simply can't be beat. Our server was PHENOMENAL.

I wavered between 3 and 4 stars on this one. How you feel about Blue Mountain depends largely on…read morewhat kind of a skier/snowboarder you are. If you're an absolute beginner, it isn't a bad introduction to the world of snow sports. It's a small "mountain" and therefore very beginner friendly. They have a completely closed off area on one side that is entirely for beginners with conveyor lifts, very gentle and short slopes, and a short chairlift. There are also two green trails on the mountain designated as "slow skiing areas," though they might want to police them better as there were still several daredevils blasting by us. The whole process for rentals and lessons is a well-oiled machine and easy to navigate. My 11-year-old son had never been skiing or snowboarding before and was anxious to try. So this seemed like a logical spot to bring him. I had been here plenty of times as a kid in the 90's, but this was my first time back in decades. We came on a Sunday in March and arrived at 7:30. It was already crowded with cars and people at that point but we still got a good parking spot and picking up rental equipment was no problem. My son enjoyed his snowboarding lesson and was loving how quickly he was learning. I bought a lift pass for me + helmet rental, and a beginner package for him (this included snowboard/helmet rental, one hour lesson, and restricted lift ticket). All together this was $293, which seems wildly overpriced for the mountain we were on, especially considering my son was stuck to the beginner area all day unless we upgraded his lift ticket. But I guess this price is common in the skiing industry these days, and I hate to think what the big mountains out west are charging. If you're an experienced skier/snowboarder and live close by, it's probably not a bad place to get in a quick fix. As an experienced skier myself, it was a pleasant day on the slopes, but got a little boring after awhile. If I'm going to pay an arm and a leg, fight hordes of people all day, and drive for a few hours to get there, I'd rather do so on a bigger and more challenging mountain.

My mother told the story for years, and she was so embarrassed we never went back to Kutztown. My sister wasn't born yet, so she never got to visit the cave. So our visit was 50 years in the making! The caves are impressive. They are also very much affected by 100+ years as a tourist attraction. Don't come looking for pristine nature. A few stalagtites have been "relocated", and the paths and stairs that allow you to visit have certainly altered things. But it's still cool to see, and the old-timey roadside attraction atmosphere is interesting as a snapshot of another time. The restaurant is fast food, but it looked reasonably priced. We grabbed a cheap slice of shoofly pie to take to Mom, who still has never returned due to my toddler shenanigans. There are acres of land to explore, as well as inexpensive mini-golf if you want to make a day of it here. We enjoyed our day trip.

I took the green Lanta city bus from Main Street. Once you get to the ball park, you need to go to the ticket booth outside the gates to the far left of the parking lot to exchange your email confirmation for an actual barcoded ticket. You'll get your hot chocolate coupon there, too. I didn't know this at first, so I waited in line at the gate at 6pm, and a ticket taker was nice enough to try to figure it out. He let me in with just the email receipt. Had to go back out front for my coupon so it was all for naught. Once officially inside, I went to get my hot chocolate. They also sold s'mores kits and pastries. It was 32' out so the fire pits where the s'mores were being toasted were busy. There were heaters sprinkled around the stadium but not enough. It was too cold. I made a quick pass through the market area, and bought some freeze dried puffed candy. Took some pics by the decorated sponsored tree section. Went into the closed in Oasis bar while it snowed a bit, then finished the upstairs loop enjoying the lights. I didn't make it down to the field where the train was, but I think I did it. Checked out the merch in the Sports store and headed out. It's a great event, and had it been warmer I would've stayed longer to explore more.

However I would imagine that it was due to them being slammed at the bar. Definitely a fantastic date night or group activity. All in all a great experience, and if you're looking for something new to do, or something to do while you get drunk with your friends, you should ABSOLUTELY check it out. My suggestions on improvements would be: Make it more obvious or even just a sign on where to put jackets/purses as we didn't notice the tiny hooks under the tables until we were almost done our 1 hour round. I also thing rounds should be 1 An hour and a half or so because we did feel kind of rushed and didn't want to stop long for chit chat or discussing each others performance. And considering is such a social atmosphere thats kind of a bummer. I would absolutely look into a PoS system for the tables for score tracking and drink/food ordering. Along with touch screen projectors. I know they exist not sure how accurate they'd be with axes. But I'm sure someone has done it. And considering how quickly this activity is growing the only way it's going to stay alive is to innovate and make simple quality of life improvements. Its the little attention to details that end up staying in peoples minds and making them want to come back. And lastly MORE ADVERTISING! Every person I told about our weekend plans had no idea you existed. Add pictures to your Apple Maps/Google Maps location. Purchase a simple ad campaign for Hulu, Snapchat, and Youtuve That will be shown to people in our area. Even try and figure out a way to give out a free Snapchat filter for groups of like 10 or more. Hire a marketing person on Fiverr and make a plan. It's worth every penny.
