Let me start by saying that I took my son to two parties here prior to booking his and was sold immediately! Just as a guest for a party the staff and owner were so attentive, friendly, and kept it fun and safe for all involved. As a party mom, the experience was even greater. The party hosts made my son feel so special and all the children were having the very best time. The party ran smoothly and without a single issue or problem and I owe that to the staff. The owner was so patient every single time I called and asked a million questions LOL ! He was patient and always respectful. The entire place is clean and tidy and kept up so well. It's truly is spotless. My friends and I plan to continue having fun with our kids at Bounce Safari and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a super fun, safe, atmosphere for their child's party.

When you first arrive, you arrive at a big house/mansion. I didn't get to read much on the history of this house, but the grounds were beautiful. They also gave a bit of a creepy vibe at times. The trail was fairly easy to hike. However, there was a part where you have to walk across a river. You have to be careful because some of rocks are slippery. I think this would be a good place to hike in the fall around Halloween just because of the creepy vibes.

Nothing like camping overnight in rustic county parks with outdoor recreation. Nice to know that…read moreMahwah offers such a place -- an easy drive from most anywhere in Northern NJ. If you have youngsters and want to get their camping feet wet just a little bit -- this is a great place for a first experience. Ok -- so Glen Gray 'aint Yellowstone or some equally impressive National Park -- but what it lacks in "gee whiz" visual appeal is more than made up for by its convenience, cleanliness, affordability and variety of hiking and camping experience. GGC is -- first and foremost -- a boy scout oriented facility -- so it is set up like one -- with a trading post -- full time "Camp Master" -- and circular camp sites with wooden tent floors -- organized for a larger pack or troop. Each site has a fire pit, dining area (including one with a roof in the event of inclement weather) and a basic -- gender neutral latrine for washing your mess kit and such. No showers -- but hey -- who needs showers when you can go off the grid with a lake and canoes -- right? And this 'aint tailgating folks -- so you need to park your car at the lot near the entrance -- and be prepared to hump your gear to a campsite which -- depending on where you choose to stay -- could be a couple of miles away. But fear not. For a nominal fee -- the Camp Master or one of his minions will drive you and your coolers to and from the site -- no worries. ;) I enjoyed the weekend I spent here with Junior and his scouting mates. We humped in and back with our packs -- fished (one of our group landed a large mouth bass -- but its a catch and release lake - bummer) feasted on MRE's, sardines, franks & beans and s'mores -- and had a blast fending off the bear and raccoons that dropped in to pay a visit. GGC also offers cabins and lean-to's -- so you can regulate exactly how much nature you want in your camping experience -- including what sort of weather you want to endure -- since they are open all year 'round. Top Tip: Glen Gray only allows overnight camping by prior reservation and access comes with a variety of restrictions -- including no pets, bicycles, booze and so forth. (see: http://glengray.org/faqs.html ).

Carrie (our bus driver) was SO awesome that she was able to call the office and switch our rentals to a canoe and she made it happen! Carrie was a great bus driver + she was funny/friendly. That's what I like - friendly staff, people who love what they do. She also gave us great tips such as bringing our canoes more up the bank wherever we camped because the water levels were high this past weekend. Only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because of the prices. I think it's overly expensive that 1 canoe rental for renting it for Saturday and basically half day on Sunday is $100 per person. We were finished at 12pm (to Smithfield Beach) which is half a day. Way too expensive to charge us that. They should have at least gave us a discount for Sunday since the current was extremely fast this past weekend. I have always rented with Edge of the Woods Outfitters because it's $72 per person for an overnight canoe trip, but they couldn't accommodate because they didn't have enough vans.

Admission is Free but there is a place for donations to the environmental center which focuses on rehabilitation and education of wildlife Our Experience: we enjoyed spending the afternoon outside on this gorgeous spring day. We started by following the entry path past the adorable house and picnic area to various animal exhibits. We took a pit stop along the way to the stroller friendly bridge/walkway through tiby streams and woods that lead to a beautiful lookout/observatory area up a flight of stairs. The boys enjoyed getting to the top and looking out. Then, we circled back to the picnic area to have a quick snack and heading into the indoor section of the environmental center with fish, lizard, and turtle exhibits. We ended by checking out the other half of the animal exhibits (on the other side of the environmental center) before heading home for dinner. We spent about 90 minutes here but could easily be done in an hour if you are pressed for time or daylight, and could be pushed to 2 or more hours of exploration if desired. There was an entire hire/walking trail area that we weren't able to access because it was rugged and likely not suitable for a stroller Will go back?: DEFINITELY! I cannot believe I didn't know about this place until now. I HIGHLY recommend going here on a good weather day. So much to do, so beautiful, such an upbeat place with warm and kind staff. I know I'll be going back.

I've only been here during the week and it hasn't been too crowded. I can imagine weekends get a little more packed but everyone had masks and were being great about distancing. The area around the reserve is beautiful too. There's also a great grocery shop right down the road, make it a day with a hike and some fresh lunch.
