It's a state park, and a beautiful one at that. Within recent years they finally rebuilt the bridge…read morenear the front and are currently rebuilding the bridge at the main entrance. They have campsites and cabins, and a ton of walking trails. The stream and waterfalls are beautiful and it is good fishing if you fish for trout (it's stocked for trout and is full of little minnows and suckers and such) Be warned, there are a lot of hills and a lot of the trails aren't going to be the "easiest" in the world, they have some fairly "difficult" trails too. The only complaints I have are usually people. Usually drinking or smoking within the park and with kids around, and unfortunately with it being a small state park they don't have any sort of ranger or law enforcement presence. Also please where orange come hunting season!!! Oh and, at least for me, Verizon cell service kinda sucks up there, so keep that in mind

Very nice, well-maintained park that has various trails, picnic areas, pavilions, and water access…read more There's an inlet area or two (water flowing into the lake) that could use some additional clean-up (based on my last visit), but I'm hoping they're working on it. That said, I'll probably only visit during the off season (early spring or after Labor Day by a bit). I came here once with my dog and they're apparently very specific about dogs ONLY being in a little beach area. I wasn't letting him in the water anywhere else (I definitely want to be respectful of the main beach area and any swimmers), and he's always on leash when we visit, but I was followed around (from one end of the park to the other) by a member of the park staff during that previous visit with him They could never tell me what I was doing that they didn't like, but they kept trying to usher me out of wherever I was. Very weird and uncomfortable.

This is a cute little zoo. Agree with other reviewers that you should come in knowing what to…read moreexpect. It has a modest number of animals, but a lot of charm. We came in the morning on a weekday. Unfortunately, a lot of the animals were napping (lots of nocturnals) but we still have a nice time. This zoo is in a park and there are a lot of trees and shades -- it doubles as a walking path. I noticed that there were lots of benches throughout, which is nice. There was also cute decor like gnomes, fairy gardens, and animal statues. Standouts were the sand cats, penguins, lemurs, and red pandas. There were wolves, arctic foxes, and lots of other neat critters. At the front there's a petting zoo with sheep and goats, and you can feed them if you buy a cup of chow from the gift shop. In the gift shop, I noticed they sell art prints made by the animals, which is super cute! I noticed a bus stop across the street, so it seems accessible by public transit. The park its within has a lot of really neat play features too, so you could definitely make an afternoon of it. The price is right. It's only about $10 a ticket for admission, and like $2 - $3 for petting zoo food. Which, in this economy especially, is fantastic. Cute place. Worth checking out!

I booked my son's birthday party at The Pad Climbing and had a wonderful experience. The facility…read moreis clean, spacious, and offers plenty of climbing options for kids of all ages. The upstairs party area is a great setup that is open to the rest of the gym so you can keep an eye on all the action. One of the best parts of the party was the two birthday party specialists. I didn't get their names, but they were absolutely fantastic with the kids. They gave clear instructions, were incredibly patient, and encouraged every climber as they made their way to the top. Everyone had a great time, highly recommend!!

Finally, a climbing gym in Binghamton! No more do we have to drive an hour plus for indoor…read moreclimbing. As far as the climbing goes, they have that down. Lots of variety (bouldering, top rope, and lead), easy certification process, and good options for a solo climber (e.g., plenty of autobelays). They also have a great shop for gear, more comprehensive than most other climbing gyms I've been to in the region. So you can get everything you need right here. As far as other amenities, they have a chill area with plenty of seating that includes a water dispenser, coffee machine, microwave, and mini fridge. They do have bathrooms and showers but they don't have a full locker room situation. They only have cubbies near the climbing walls. As far as gym equipment, they do have some, and it might be enough for what you're looking for. But they don't have a full gym's worth of equipment. So before you abandon your regular gym membership, consider taking at look at the equipment they have available and determine if that's adequate for your training. They just opened earlier in January and are still setting up. So things like climbing instruction or yoga classes aren't available yet for the foreseeable future, especially because they are still in the process of hiring all of those staff. So it should be coming soon (?), but it's unclear when. They will also have recreational leagues for children and adults but, again, not yet available. The gym is off to a good start and honestly, I'm glad they're finally open even if not all the peripheral amenities are fully ready to go just yet. If you want to climb, you can definitely do that here right now, and that's huge for this area. Just wanted to share this review and be transparent about what is actually available right now (and I can update later on when full amenities are available). Happy climbing!

Popularity does not equate to better, the other one at Cheri Lindsay is not amazing either, but cleaner and better maintained. This one has a creek right next to it but there isn't much of room to swim, just a creek, very small, during dry days, the water level is just a couple inch, nothing exciting. A lot of dog poop here and owners are not exactly the best. Mosquitos, again, questionable owners.

This review is only for the outdoor portion of the center:…read more This is a wonderful place where I imagine you can keep the kids busy for hours. 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.
