Ok...I really don't know where exactly this is, but if you are going north toward Bear Mountain on…read morethe Palisades Interstate Parkway (if you cross the GWB go towards NJ and you'll see a sign toward the PIP..you'll start at exit 2 so keep goin!), you cannot miss this sign. Its the only "visitor center" posted on some wood or something on that parkway. I know I shouldn't share this with random readers, but I have to explain it for you guys to understand why I reviewed it. I have a weird thing for rest stops and 24/7 gas stations no matter where it is. I have no idea why. Maybe its b/c time seems to fall back at rest stops, or the fact that you stop there in transit and it becomes a community of drivers in one, creepy location. Whatever the reason, I love stopping at these places. So anyone as odd as myself, I had to share. Okay this is no ordinary rest stop. First, if you need to use the john don't bother going here b/c they have port-a-pottys and they do not smell "potty". This is for the sheer enjoyment of going to a random linkin log place in the middle of Rockland County, and saying "hey, I could use a shiny rock." Also, this place closes early. I think 6. Alright so there is the most RANDOM load of fun filled crap here. It's like a local street fair from 1987 threw up here and nobody bothered to clean it up. Finger traps, rock shiners, an assortment of rocks, camoflage toilet paper on a ROLL, candy that belongs in a museum..It's awesome here. It's bizarre and so creepy, but it was friggin super. I think I even bought a couple of rocks (I'm a science nut; what do you want from me?). Anyway, everytime I pass that place I feel like I'm hitting the twilight zone because it sure as hell isn't 2007 over at that joint. CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!

Convenient spot for bathrooms. Notice I said convenient, not clean or good. And odd info abounds.

From my previous review, noticed recently during a big snowstorm that I omitted most winter-related…read moreactivities one can do in Central Park! These include, though aren't limited to: Sledding, cross country skiing, making all manner of snowmen/forts/snowballs/snow angels, snow tubing, snow plowing and shoveling the streets and walkways, defrosting your fingers and toes, admiring the winter scenery. One of the best things about CP is that it's open daily, year-round. On one very very cold Saturday afternoon when we got about a foot of snow, I ventured out in sub-freezing temperatures, and was surprised by how many people (thousands!) were playing in the snow. I had never seen CP so crowded, not even on warm sunny days! Not only families with children, it seemed everyone healthy and active enough to participate was out and about. How many people had sleds too!* That being said, one suitable aspect of CP is the many hilly areas so if you had a sled, you were in luck, with much fun to be had. On your next snow day, GO PLAY! *Considering it hadn't snowed more than a few inches annually the past few years I wasn't sure where people either had space to store, or how they were able to procure sleds at such short notice.

No just kidding all jokes aside and this is one of the most interesting parts in the city and one of the few places that you will lots find green open space. There are lots of common walkways and running trails for you to get your fitness in if that's what you like to do and for kids there are several playground areas in and around the park. It's the perfect place and change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the city. And what I find most interesting about Central Park is that no matter how many times you come here, it always seems like you'll find something different about it from the last visit. The sights, people, landscape and everything around it changes with each day or season. That's the beauty of the park that I like most.

While driving through Oyster Bay, I kept seeing signs to Sagamore Hill. Quite honestly, I didn't…read moreknow what it was, but given our curious minds, my daughter continued driving to follow the signs up to Sagamore Hill. Turns out, it was the home of 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt, from 1885 until his death in 1919. The house and its surrounding farmland became the primary residence of Theodore and Edith Roosevelt for the rest of their lives. Sagamore Hill became known as the "Summer White House" during the seven summers (1902-1908) Roosevelt spent there as President. Turns out, Sagamore Hill is also an animal preserve, too. "Teddy," being quite the lover of animals, stated that forever and ever, animals are ALWAYS welcome on his 83 acres of property. Yours, mine, anybody's. FOREVER. That is a really cool thing. Sadly, we arrived after 5 p.m., so the buildings were closed, but there were plenty of things to see outdoors. Beautiful, well kept grounds. Next time I'm in town, especially if my husband is around, we'll return, and maybe within the hours to see the interior of his house. Too bad our little doggies won't be. They'd love it here !!

Quirky, fun visit for a relaxed, self-guided tour. We enjoyed the scavenger hunt with prizes at the…read moreend. We enjoyed the pristine showroom for an hour or so, enjoying our memories as children with this candy and dispensers. Customer service was friendly, professional and efficient. We got to watch the production in process, which was interesting. We picked up gifts for the children and Pez fans in our lives and used the great coupon of $2 for each ticket toward the very reasonable purchase. Fun, fun, fun. Just go and enjoy.

Saw the sign for the Pez museum while we were driving around on the first full day of our trip to…read moreConnecticut. Didn't plan on coming here, but glad that we did. The visitor center is located adjacent to the Pez Factory in Orange, CT, being the sole manufacturer for the Pez candy (not the dispenser) for the United States since 1973. Thus most of the large parking lot is filled employee cars, but off to the side is the visitor center along with an ample parking area. Admission is $5 per person, with the remark that $2 of it could be used as credit to purchase anything in the company store. Products for sale are intermingled with antique Pez dispensers, and consists of two stories. Most of the time is spent glancing at dispensers behind glass. To encourage this, a game sheet was given to every entrant: The Close Up Hunt. The goal was to identify the eight close up views of different dispensers, found throughout the museum: basically a scavenger hunt. My wife and I were able to finish it (thanks to her) and the prize was a spin on the prize wheel. I got the emoji Pez while she got the My Little Pony. My wife likes Pez candy (a lot more than the dispensers), so our obvious choice was to buy a self-service bucket of pez candy for $6.99. There were eleven flavors to choose from, and I had fun filling the bucket (and didn't spill any!). The cashier let us know that there was a minimum purchase of $5 for a credit card charge, so ended up choosing a Pikachu dispenser to reach that amount One game was to find and identify 8 different Pez dispensers in the display cases. There were two floors. We were able to identify all of them, and as a prize got to spin a little wheel. I got the emoji Pez dispenser and Odette got the my little pony one. Each $5 ticket gives $2 in credit which we used to buy a bucket of candies. You have to spend at least $5 to use credit card, so bought a Pez dispenser of Pikachu ($2.49) as well. The entire stay was about an hour. The employees are behind transparent glass so we can see them and they us. It's the main packaging area. Guessing the actual making of the candy isn't that fun to watch, and the dispensers are made overseas.
