Considering I have a long long family connection to this location and train station, I feel…read moreentitled to write a review. I've seen it in good times and bad. Whether it's safe these days at certain hours I'm not sure. I know I wasn't fond of traveling to Port Chester alone at times in my life. I remember the times I needed a cab. Finding a cab was hit or miss. Incoming trains are not on the side where you can easily enter the Station Building. You walk down the long flight of stairs to a back street. Frequently my family would be waiting outside the station to pick me up. Sometimes they were late! I've never seen the inside of the station dirty. I always found it deserted. I didn't travel during peak hours. On my return trips to Manhattan I go outside and wait patiently for the train. I'm always afraid I'll miss it if I wait inside. I sure don't want to be stuck there waiting for the next train! When my Cousin Jim was alive we would sit in the car and talk. When we saw the train coming I'd head upstairs to the track. He'd wait to see I boarded safely. That memory makes me sad. It was nice to be cared for by a Cousin/Brother. Since he died I don't go back to Port Chester much. When I do my daughter usually goes with me. Thanks for letting me share my memories. And thanks Bill for posting. Seeing your recent post revived my history using this old Railroad Station!

So much has changed since I was growing up. This station used to have a small coffee stand that…read moresold newspapers, and bagels. The best part of it was the man behind the stand. He was blind. I was always amazed on how he was able to give people the exact change. Today the shop no longer exists. It is now a Restaraunt that is only open in the spring and summer time. This location gets commuters from Greenwich, rye and Port Chester. I can see a Starbucks here making a killing.

We arrived at 10:30, which I would recommend based on crowds. My 4 and 5 year old had a good time, though I'd say this spot is optimal for slightly older and above. There were just a handful of activities they really couldn't do. That being said, I saw a bunch of toddlers who were also having a blast. The namesake slide was closed all morning, which was a bummer, but I'm also not sure my kids would have actually done it. The trampolines, acrobatic swing bar, and multi-level play structure were their favorites. I agree that some people working here were more happy to be there. The waiver is long. Try to do it ahead of time.

Great experience at Air Riderz Adventure Park in Port Chester…read more Large covered parking lot shared with other stores and shops nearby. We used a Groupon and had no issues redeeming when visiting on a Friday morning. We were instructed to complete the waivers at the kiosks near the entrance. We did have to purchase the mandatory socks which was $18 for three (3) pairs. Before proceeding to the play areas, we put our things in the little cubes they have for storage...i.e. shoes, bags, etc. Keep in mind these are open cubes which anyone can access. I never felt unsafe in leaving our things there...but as always, there is a risk. It was not very crowded on a Friday morning at around 10:30am (they open at 10) so it was a pleasure navigating the space with minimal crowds. There are lots of areas to enjoy for both adults and children. The main area has trampolines as well as some interactive areas where you jump to tap buttons and two video screens where you mimic the movements on screen...both area great. There are a few obstacle courses: ninja, balance beam, and swing pit. The basketball area is also great with a cushioned surface, two hoops, and targets where you can throw balls at. There are two huge slides in the center which are fun. Finally, there a "rock climbing" area with a few different climbing options. You must have the "climb" option added to your pass in order to use it though. You will be belayed during the climb. Be mindful that the gripped socks provided do NOT offer the best grip while climbing in my opinion...climbing was much more difficult that I experience in traditional rock climbing places that provide rock climbing shoes...then again, maybe it is just me. There is a food area which sells some snacks: soft drinks, chips, candy. There are also a few tables nearby where you can eat. Overall we had a great time here...the space was very clean and well-maintained. All staff we encountered were very nice. Be sure to check ahead if visiting with toddlers as there are some restrictions on which areas they are able to visit.

I HAD to go back to this because it's such an amazing experience. I'm sure they do more than "Fall…read moreFoliage" trips but that's when I visited in the past. Despite my best efforts in the past to do Fall train rides, which turned out to be disappointing only because there was never any good colors on trees, this by far is the very best fall foliage experience I've ever had in my life. You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.

We stayed over as part of a group attending a nearby wedding reception - Lorbie handled many changes people made to add or subtract days to their reservations smoothly and politely. We would definitely recommend this hotel. The only draw back was no breakfast. And the lobby Starbucks closes at 10:30 AM on Sunday. If you have been up late on Saturday (as we were), that is just about the time you would really appreciate a light breakfast and a steaming cup of joe! Great place.

I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriot Rye for one night for my brother's wedding. Even though I…read morelive relatively close, there were a bunch of people staying over and I figured I would be wiped after the wedding - so I decided to stay. Location, layout, and cleanliness are the biggest positives Courtyard has IMO. It's not located in a heavy commercial area, but *is* right off a major highway which gives you access to several other areas of Westchester. The wedding was relatively far from the hotel in New Rochelle, but we were able to get there in under 20 minutes. The common areas and my room were very tidy - everything was in place and functional. The layout is kind of like a broken square that has a courtyard (name connection!) in the middle. Even though my room was at the very end of the hall (furthest from the lobby), there was an entrance to the hotel right by my room along with parking so there was no need to hike it to get in my car. I was in a king room which also had a couch that looked like it could be converted to a futon. There was a coffee machine with some samples, and a large bottle of water that cost $6. Bathroom was a simple setup - the toilet was old, I didn't have confidence flushing. The shower was the weakest part of the room - the head was old and water only came out of a few holes (it wasn't adjustable). The accommodations were fine - I imagine that many a wedding party stay here (there were three others staying here at the same time we were). The common area was spacious, they have a nice seating area with a bar, and separate rooms for more private gatherings. They also have a restaurant and a fitness center, but I didn't see/use them. There is an abundance of parking onsite, albeit they charge $10/night. Staff was pretty good - I didn't interact with many but my check in process was mostly smooth. Overall, I had a fine experience at Courtyard Rye - this is not in the most prime location, and it's not the fanciest place, but it's an ideal spot for a short stay if you're in the area for an event.

Wow!! I can't stop…read morethinking about what a wonderful day today was, and it's all thanks to the great people at Kids U. We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday here today and what could normally be a stressful day for most parents, ended up being such a breeze!! From the start, before the big day, communication was clear and we were given exact pricing. I went in a few weeks before the big day and the manager (?) was kind enough to give me a tour and a rundown of exactly how the time would be spent. For the first half hour, the kids have free range of the jungle gym area, that reminded me of Discovery Zone from my youth. The next half hour was spent in a separate room that had trampolines, rock walls, swings, bubbles, balls...it was kid heaven. Keep in mind our group had age ranges from 1 all the way to 11, and everyone seemed entertained! During the whole time the staff was super attentive and assisted any of the kids if they needed help. The last half hour we all moved to the food area that was decorated so beautifully, where everyone enjoyed the cake and food and again, the staff was super on point and handled everything. They served the kids food, they cut and served the cake, and they cleaned up when we were done! I can't reiterate enough how efficient the 3 women were! I 10/10 recommend Kids U for any birthday parties you may be considering. Thank you guys, so much!!

There were still 0 other people in the entire space. I'm seeing many other reviews about being treated poorly by librarians and I'm unsurprised. Avoid it here at all costs and go to Harrison.

Absolutely LOVE this place but only receiving 4-stars for the following reasons:…read more First, If you sit back near the SRO (bar area), ALL you hear is people talking and the clinking of glass. Horribly distracting. The WORST place to stand or sit near if you're in the back of the Orchestra (latter rows)! Two, if you sit along the left wall (Orchestra), there is an alcove of sorts closer to the front of the stage. There is a TV in there (WHY, I don't know!), that is left on during performances. If you're in seats along the wall, you 'will' be distracted from the glare of the television light (as I recently was back in Row N!). Lastly, lobby bar prices are INSANE: $38 for a single serving CAN of wine and a single serve bottle of Prosecco. We had just come from a very nice restaurant and paid well less than that for quality!
