+14 other lists

There are several stores which are nice to walk in.. there are restaurants I recommend Nickels BBQ did a review on them on Google.. support do dahs ice cream.. a lot of hair places for men and women in my opinion to many but it’s there rented space.. free parking which is fantastic..

This is, to be perfectly honest, not a "spend the afternoon" type of area. More a "explore over the course of a quiet weekend," type of place. There's a healthy mix of places for out of towners and local haunts and the latter are more easily enjoyed when you're not just visiting but, rather, able to spend an afternoon poking around.Essentially, Market St and much of the area is like Ithaca, for upper-middle class adults.

Such a lovely area, I like the local businesses and the look of the town. It’s nicer looking than many upstate towns.

Great business to volunteer. Been a volunteer since 2018 and still need more volunteer to this day.

Corning is a lovely little town. The Gaffer District is their main strip of storefronts. I really liked it. The street was clean and well maintained. It was really convenient as a tourist to have all the restaurants and shops within walking distance of each other and my hotel.

Very busy at lunch time but a nice area for shopping and looking for odd and ends.

I absolutely love the Gaffer District. The variety of foods and breweries keep me happy. It’s a beautiful location and exceptionally clean. It is a walkable place and the friendly atmosphere is sure to please. The variety of gift stores will also make you happy. If you haven’t visited here, you must plan a trip for a day or a week.

I was very disappointed that all of the trees weren't lit for the sparkle of Christmas. It would have been much more festive with them lit.

The Gaffer District is a great part of Corning - lots of restaurants, little shops, events, and more. There's special events often, and they're usually geared for the whole family. We love this area and all that it has to offer, for both locals and those visiting the area.

Quaint downtown feel, locally owned businesses, interesting and regional merchandise. Lots of breweries and restaurants. Great place to spend the day! Be sure and visit "Finger Lakes Unique" gift shop, features items made by local artists! Great for one-of-a-kind gifts!

A beautiful wonderful place to visit. Everyone is always so friendly. A stroll in the Gaffer District awakens all your senses. With amazing food, beautiful architecture, delightful shops and a sense that time moves a little slower so you may absorb life as it should be.

Annual GlassFest is a great time.

A great street of shops in a great little city. I live 20 minutes away and enjoy walking around at least once a month in the nice weather. FYI: they also have some nice winter activities that are worth going to.

Love the architecture of this few blocks, stores are really cute and the food was great

Love how down home feeling you get here. you definitely should come and visit.

NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. Classic American small town downtown. Nice shops and a wide range of restaurants from cheap and easy to elegant. Nice friendly people everywhere.There are no accessible bathrooms. There are two single stall bathrooms in the main parking garage which are only unlocked for events. The lack of public restrooms makes the entire downtown area inaccessible to disabled people, people with children, and elders, and in my opinion shows a lack of basic human decency and a poorly managed budget. Most of the businesses in the district have "no public restroom" signs in the front windows. Basic levels of dignity such as places to potty and places to wash should always be budgeted first especially in places that depend on tourism. Be prepared to walk a mile if you need to pee. If I owned a business in the area I'd be "pissed". 🤣

Love the town, unfortunately walking down the market st kids on bikes were constantly riding between us and almost ran into us a couple of times. They were very rude snd ruined my evening walk.

Pretty area. Very walkable. Lots of interesting shops and restaurants.

This is a very beautiful & peaceful place, sure to calm your nerves. We went on the labor day weekend but still it wasn't much crowded. Little place with lots of eatries & pubs. Lots of shops are closed due to covid but the ones open are managing well with the outdoor dining. Currently you will get free parking too just at the entrance of the market street. Amazing place for relaxing and rejuvenating yourself 🙂

Centerway Suare is a place to linger with a treat and enjoy the very early warmth of spring and dream of the upcoming Market Street events. Life happens here.

Great, beautiful street with wonderful shops and restaurants. The Old World Restaurant & Creamery was outstanding!

What a cute town! Lots of little shops and restaurants..b sure to find Carl Sagan’s planet walk..hard to find far away planets ..fun but hot!

Wonderful as always! Nothing like it! The warmth, the colors, the friendliness of the people was absolutely wonderful! I found items to use and share with my students at school and to use with my child at home! Will definitely go back, and may stay the weekend next time so I'm not rushing back home.

Nice collection of artwork. This place is walkable from the corning glass museum. Tickets for this museum can be combined with corning tickets when you purchase corning tickets. Also, corning has shuttle services to the place.There isn't any separate parking for this place. Public parking is available around. Weekend parking is free in these public parking spaces.There is a good amount of detailing in each art piece.

We came as a part of a combo ticket with the Glass Museum. While there are some very good works on display, it's maybe not the best meshed together. A nice, quiet museum that is geared towards adults. Bonus points for the descriptions by some artwork from the staff, that told some interpretations for selected works - this really added some context, and made me take a second look at times.

Some beautiful paintings and sculptures by American artists. For Europeans like me this is a fun treat. Thomas Hart Benson and Andy Wahole's in the collection. Romantic pictures of the countryside and early settlers are also captivating. Sadky, nothing by Norman Rockwell on display.

Really great museum, went there as part of a school tour. I enjoyed all of the exhibits and really loved watching the kids take their time studying it all. Amazing art and the sculptures were incredible. Was my 1st time there, won't be my last.

Small museum in historic section of Corning.If you think this is a museum about Norman Rockwell, then you are in for a big disappointment. This is a Rockwell, Robert Rockwell, an owner of a prominent gift shop in Corning who donated his store to the city, and it was turned into a "museum".Don't get me wrong here. They did try to make a museum out of what was the collection that Mr. Rockwell left behind. It has some artifacts of Native Americans. Some art works of American west. Its affiliation with Smithsonian allows it to borrow some works from Smithsonian to make its traveling exhibit interesting. The time we visited, there was an exhibit of National Geographic Photographer Nathan Benn, and pictures from the local photographer Chris Walters.Over all, it is a very small museum. Most people stopped in, did so after doing some shopping from the district or holding a combo ticket with the Corning Glass museum up the road.The staff was very nice and helpful.The admission is steep for what it offers.

Nice museum downtown Corning. Bought the combo ticket with the Corning Museum. Nicely designed with some interesting pieces and exhibits. Several floors and a nice balcony patio to take a break and enjoy the local scenery. Doesn't take that long to tour. Easy parking access or there is a shuttle from the Corning Museum.

Went here with my wife. This was a great little art museum! (It will take you about an hour to go through it.) Nice paintings from the Hudson River era, along with a good variety of Native American art. Loved it!

It's a small museum, almost tucked away, but its wonderful. They have a small selection of art spread over three floors, and it changes all the time so you'll get to see something new every time you go! And the staff are so wonderful and helpful. When we went they were having a gingerbread house completion that we could vote on! And in the gift shop they had items made by local artists. Definitely a must visit!

Four stars because the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Also the building architecture was very nice, I wish there was more info about the history of the building or the Rockwell's on a sign or plaque. Parking was also very convenient right behind the building.I started on the third floor and worked down, which was probably the best way to go through. The third floor was filled with a good variety of artwork and you could see how each room connected with the next and how they all connected overall. (Connection was the theme for the year, so kudos on balancing a broad topic in a limited space).The second floor was not as well connected with itself and felt like a committee of at least five people voted on each item. Each item was interesting but the floor as a whole did not flow as well as the third floor. It seemed like the second floor would be a very nice place to hold a black tie event but mostly because the architecture surrounding the art was able to stand out.There were couches on the first floor and if they were part of the exhibit, I apologize for sitting on them but also think that would be very clever of an artist. I don't think they were actually part of the exhibition but I am glad that I looked at the coffee table books because they showed me a much more comprehensive and varried look of the artist on display than what was on the wall.Overall a nice art display on each floor with a lot of history in the building. Again the staff was amazing and made me glad to have stopped by.

I'm not 100% sure on the price considering I've always done the package deal with Corning Museum of Glass, but the Rockwell museum itself is a fantastic place that houses beautiful art. Scan the QR codes with your smartphone for a digital audio tour of the museum to enhance your art viewing experience.I loved being able to put my name and a message on the wall to inspire those in need. :)

small but interesting museum, my favorite section was the permanent collection. although I like photography, the special exhibit currently on display (june 2024) was not my favorite. has it's own parking lot which is nice

The Rockwell is a great museum for the whole family. It's not too small or too large so it's very manageable for kids. While the focus is on Western and native artwork, there is a variety of interesting works to be found. They also have scavenger hunt games to keep you engaged. The cost is quite low as well. There is a free shuttle bus that stops here as well as CMOG and there are discounted passes if you're going to both museums.

Beautiful museum! It's smaller than what was expected, but it's jam packed with gorgeous pieces of history. There are a few hands on experiences and a gift shop packed with cool trinkets. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about not only the museum's history but of the local history that seems abound. Around the corner and up the street they have a place for the lil ones to have a hands on arts and craft experience! Although we did not visit there, we heard it's a fun place to take the younger kids!

Went on a 3 day trip with my friend to Corning NY to visit the museum and found this museum which was so nice. The art work was beautiful. My friend especially loved it since her daughter lives in Albuquerque New Mexico. I found cute items in the gift shop too. Very nice. Would visit again.

Gorgeous museum with staff that obviously love what they do and are very friendly and helpful. Definitely stop by if you're in town!

Beautifully curated museum exhibits! This is a gem for Corning and in New York. This was our second time visiting the museum but still enjoyed going through exhibits that were consistent from before. Worth purchasing the combination ticket for Corning Museum of Glass and the Rockwell museum!

It is a very nice museum with an eclectic variety of art. Although known as a "Western" museum, which it is, there is a surprising amount of modern art as well. Well worth the price of admission.

Excellent small museum with some wonderful Native American artwork. The artworkIs housed in a fabulous space! It was greatly organized and put together. The quick scavenger hunt did a great job to engage myKids! The small gift shop was good. They have some wonderful gifts! I definitely recommend this place to visit!!

Just Wow. A must visit place. Wonderful exhibits. They’ve different galleries, a wing alone for the historic exhibits, which were a lot (we weren’t able to see everything). And artistic exhibits are also Amazing. They’ve hot shops showing the glass demonstrations almost every 30 min, throughout the day. Definitely attend one. Don’t miss the innovation floor, it was quite interesting. There’s a beautiful gift shop with so many things and a good cafe, with vegetarian options. And Yes, make your own glass is nothing we can actually make, but only choose what shape and colours you want, and you can have really closer look, which was still nice to experience. It would be good if it’s specified clearly on the website what to expect. Also would love more interactive exhibits. Definitely a great visit.

Corning Museum of Glass is one of my favourite museums to visit, it is part art gallery.The glass collection is just stunning to see the creativity in this difficult medium. They have many different types of informational sessions throughout the day and are very educational for people of all ages.Children 17 and under are free of charge which is great value for families on a budget. Highly recommend visiting especially with children, it's a great learning experience.

The museum is a lot of fun for us. We get to go often and the children really enjoy it. It has a lot of interesting exhibits and beautiful artwork pieces from all across the globe. I personally really like the history of glass section which showcases all the museum’s pieces of glass and ceramics from other times all the way back to Ancient Egypt. The museum store is also packed with all types of toys, clothes, books, and art by the museum’s artists in residence. A few times a day there is also a showcase where the glass lowers lecture in an amphitheater while making a piece of blown glass.

Very beautiful place to visit and also get lots of knowledge about glass making history and optical fiber. Don't forget to watch both of their glass blowing demonstrations. If you want to make your own glass, book it at least 3 months before your visit.

I love visiting this place. The modern art installations are my favorite part of the museum, but the whole thing is really well done with amazing architecture and always something to learn. This time we were able to visit a demonstration in the hot shop, which was really fun. And we also were able to take advantage of making some of our own glass after making a reservation. That was super fun. Looking forward to our next visit!

This museum was such an amazing stop on our way to Niagara Falls. Everyone enjoyed from toddler to adult. The sandblasting class (additional fee) was a lot of fun and the glasses came out beautiful. Our three year old even designed her own. I'd highly recommend. The cafeteria offered a wide variety of foods and was clean and fast. We look forward to visiting again.

Very engaging museum which can keep adults and children busy for several hours. You can explore the glass art gallery, discover the amazing science behind everyday glass objects, with many hands on displays that keep kids looking for more. Additionally there are free to watch live presentations (glass making and the exciting glass Breaking). For additional cost you can participate in a glass making session (good idea to pre register to save a spot). While this was interesting, we were a little disappointed since participation in the actual glass making is minimal. Also note that you either need to come in the next day to pick up your work or pay an additional shipping fee. Lastly there is a great cafeteria with a wide selection of foods that are very reasonably priced (not typical for museums). Free parking is available with an EV charging station. If you are up in the Finger lakes area this is definitely a great place to visit. When you're done, you can chill out in one of the many wineries or breweries in the area.

There are many lovely artworks to see that would educate your thoughts and consciousness. The museum arrangement is the only reason I gave it four stars. The galleries are not well-organized to display all of the artworks. You might miss a few of them because they are in a blind spot. In addition, the signs directing you to the galleries were unclear. While looking for gallery #6, we ended up in gallery #7. And walking the #7 led us to the #6 at the end. Aside from that, there is a live show in gallery #3 at certain times which a glass making process is demonstrated to visitors. Check the time slots and arrive on time to watch the show. It is included in the price of the ticket. On the ground floor, there is a museum shop where you may purchase the most stunning glass pieces. Based on the prices I've observed, the price range is about between $10 and $10,000. Overall, it's a must-see museum in Corning!

Best museum I’ve been to. The exhibits are incredibly well mounted, laid out; they look clean, grand, and majestic. The pieces displayed are remarkable, original, and creative. The fact that they even have live demos/shows (the one in the hot shop is absolutely recommendable), is distinguishing enough. Whether you are a fan of the Blown Away show, you barely heard of it, or bot at all, this is a museum worth visiting

Really fantastic museum and HUGE!! It's quite an encyclopedic collection of a fascinating material. Everything from art to industry to science and more. We spent about two hours here and still didn't see it all. We did manage to catch one of the glass blowing demos though which was super cool to see. The gift shop was just as impressive as the museum itself, large and varied. Anyway, it's def worth a visit if you're nearby.

We had no much clue what to expect in a glass museum when we started our day here. But this place is mindblowing, and we ended up spending 5 hours going through everything here. We had such an amazing experience watching all the beautiful exhibits and learning many new things about glass.Entry is $30 for adults and free for kids of any age. We had basic sandblasting added as well, which was $14. The place is worth every dollar we spend.Live demos - we saw glass making and glass breaking demo as well. It was great to see how the glass is turned into different forms just by blowing and rolling. The glass breaking was very informative. We also did the sandblasting, which was a fun activity.Must watch place upstate newyork. Nature lovers can take a break and spend a half day here enjoying cool things made of glass and learning some new things.

Beautiful place to spend time with family to see some amazing glass work. They have superb crockery and gifts . Corelli Crockery was worth to buy . They have amazing pieces of glass and crystal from different artists. The place have baby care restroom which I have not seen at many places , since I have infant with me soIt was a bless. They have shows where they give live demo of making of glass pieces.

Really appreciated the indoor decorations. The ambiance here is not just elegant and cozy, but every detail brims with artistic flair. Under the lighting, each ornament glimmers like a gem, illuminating the entire space.In addition to the interior decor, the glass-making demonstrations are also a highlight. This is not just entertainment, but a learning experience. Spectators get to see firsthand how artists transform ordinary glass into beautiful pieces of art. The skill and creativity exhibited during this process are truly breathtaking. You can watch as the glass softens under high temperatures, then gradually takes shape under the artists' adept manipulations, eventually emerging as gorgeous handicrafts.Moreover, watching these demonstrations provides an opportunity for interaction with the artists. During breaks, they explain their creative processes and answer questions from the audience. This not only allows you to gain a deeper understanding of this art form but also enables you to feel the artists' passion for their craft.These experiences have left a deep impression on you about this place. Whether it's the meticulously designed interior decorations or the fascinating glass-making demonstrations, they have filled your journey with color and joy.

This is an amazing museum with so many cool displays. There is something for everyone & the gift shop is the largest I've ever seen. It is worth the price of admission & they also participate in the Museums for All program if you receive food assistance with am EBT card. The parking lot is close but they do have shuttle busses if you park farther away.

I love this place! I've been going here since I was a kid, and I'm impressed every time. Gorgeous art with a lot of heart. I also really love making my own glass sculptures and necklaces when I go here. A little on the pricey side, but you definitely get your money's worth. I highly recommend getting the package deal with the Rockwell Museum to further enhance the experience.

The CMOG has a world-class collection of glass artifacts from the earliest beginnings of glass making, to modern art.If you are looking to experience "all things glass" this is a great place to visit. If you are looking to take an in-depth study of a certain subject, you will probably be disappointed.The entirety of the "Early American" bottles and glass items that are on display is shameful. The quality of the display shelves would be rivaled by Value City Furniture. In many instances there are killer (sometimes unique) bottles on a dark, crowded shelf where they can hardly be seen.An American museum that displays early American Glass so poorly is just a shame. The items that they probably have packed away in boxes that are not on display, is mind-boggling. But they will probably never see the light of day.The gift shop is phenomenal.

Great experience for all ages! Very interactive and engaging throughout! Went on a Memorial Day weekend a few years ago with wife and three kids. All of us had a good time and my wife was able to make her own glass ornament. We never realized how important Corning was to developing Pyrex and other glass products ranging from lighthouse glass to telescope development.

When in Corning, a must visit spot is obviously the Corning Museum of Glass. Admission for adults is on the pricier side but the fact that children up to the age of 17 enter free is amazing! It also makes for a really neat learning opportunity and experience for them.They have a lot of glass pieces showcased as art while also displaying lots of historical aspects of glass, as well as more innovative and practice uses. My favorite was their live glass blowing demonstrations! The auditoriums are big but the design of the stages and benches made the whole thing easy to view. The team was really good with their narrations and good analogies to make things easy to understand. When we first planned this trip, I said I wasn't interested in their studio where you can actually do glass blowing yourself (e.g. make an ornament) but after watching the demo, I was regretting it since I was itching to try.Our last stop was the gift shop which was huge! Lots of options for you to purchase and take home.This museum has lots of restrooms for needed stops and even had a station where you can grab one of their portable chairs to bring around with you to sit! I thought that was so considerate. Personally I didn't feel it was needed as they also have benches around the museum too as needed.

Wonderful experience. The glass blowing event was fun! Liam was the teacher and his measured and knowledgeable instruction was great! If you want more “hands on “ do the flower!! The museum was fantastic. Very worth going! Super nice staff. We had a wonderful day

We love CMOG, especially making our own glass. It's awesome, adults, kids 4-10 in our groups all love it. We come to the area once a year, about 30 min away for the Watkins Glen race (a great town) and love the exhibits, the hot glass shows, and of course making our own!! It is always worth the trip, we come every year. Schedule make your own glass appointments in advance online. And we look forward to the museums cafeteria, too. Makes for a great day, you can easily spend 4+ hours if you do it all.

We did the 'Make Your own Glass' workshop, specifically glassblowing and we loved our experience. We reserved almost 3 weeks in advance since we heard that the slots get filled very fast. My husband chose a flower (involves more intricate hand work) and I did the ornament. They give you protective glasses and clothing and the instructor (Kayleigh - she was so nice and friendly and answered all our questions) takes you through each process and get you to help them in certain areas. The whole experience was unique and lasted about 10 minutes. The glass articles can be picked up the next day after 12 noon or they can also be shipped. Highly recommend this glass making workshop to people of all ages.

We crossed the border on Civic Holiday to see Niagara Falls from the US side. We ended up driving 3 hours away to Corning after. It was so worth it!!We spent our whole afternoon in the museum. And I am not into museums but the CMOG is an interesting one. I have never seen such magnificent glass artworks! The photos don’t do justice at all. You gotta see it with your own eyes.We attended each live show by the hour. Altogether, we were there for about 5-6 hours.We loved our visit!

Sensory friendly! The museum offers a sensory backpack. My daughter wore the headphones the whole time and the sunglasses in bright exhibits. The fidget helped her wait her turn. The museum staff was awesome as well. Everyone was friendly and willing to explain things for her.We tried the make your own glass. I appreciate that it wasn’t crowded and activities were separated. My eight year old blew glass while my six year old fused a nightlight.On a six hour road trip with lots of meltdowns, the Corning Museum was the only stop that went smoothly.Happy mom. Thank You!P.s. We were worried about doing a hot glass project because they need to cool overnight. They said they could hold projects for up to 30 days. So we made it on our way up and pick it up on our way home. We recommend buying the make your own tickets in advance because they can sell out.

I'm a fan of the Netflix show blown away so of course I had to drive 4hrs to visit this museum on my vacation it was worth it. The whole museum is clean and sleek,The pieces were beautiful. The admission was easy I got my tickets online with a AAA discount and I just checked in at the desk and started exploring. They also have a great museum store with a lot of pieces for sale along with shirts and magnets. It's definitely worth a visit

This is probably the only star attraction for the town of Corning. The museum is well organized and the in person shows are very engaging. We also enjoyed the various glass exhibits from across the ages. I would stay away from the gift shop unless you want to buy made in China glass trinkets. (Edit: or anything from an authentic artist with a price tag mere mortal can afford)

We had so much fun at this museum. After you check in you enter the featured exhibits. The space is expansive and has seating, take a seat and enjoy the perspective from that position.When you exit out of the featured exhibits there's a little crafting area for kids and interactive kid friendly exhibits. I missed one wing because we ran out of time and wanted to watch the show. The show was interesting, they let you ask questions. They have talented staff making beautiful glass vases. I would like to have seen the finished product.The gift shop is just as impressive as the exhibits. There's something for everyone.

The Corning Museum of Glass, nestled in Corning, New York, is an extraordinary museum dedicated to the exploration and celebration of glass's multifaceted nature, covering its art, history, and science.Established in 1951 by Corning Glass Works to commemorate the company's centennial, this museum stands as a beacon of glassmaking heritage, showcasing an unparalleled collection that chronicles over 3,500 years of glassmaking artistry.During a recent visit with my family, the museum far exceeded our expectations, providing a delightful and educational experience for all ages. From the historical to the contemporary, each exhibit spoke volumes of the ingenuity and creativity inherent in glassmaking.CollectionsHistorical Glass: The museum is a treasure trove of ancient marvels, featuring glass artifacts spanning from the times of ancient Egypt and Rome to the Renaissance and beyond, offering a glimpse into the evolution of glassmaking.Contemporary Glass Art: It is also a hub for modern creativity, with breathtaking pieces from renowned glass artists around the globe that demonstrate glass's vast artistic potential.Science and Technology: The museum sheds light on the scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements in glassmaking, including life-changing innovations such as fiber optics and Gorilla Glass.Exhibitions and DemonstrationsThe museum's rotating exhibitions and live glassblowing demonstrations captivate visitors, showcasing the mesmerizing process of turning molten glass into exquisite art.Education and ResearchWith educational programs for all ages and a comprehensive research library, the museum serves as a center for learning, offering workshops and resources that deepen the understanding of glass.Architecture and FacilitiesThe architectural design of the museum itself is a testament to the beauty and versatility of glass, offering modern spaces for galleries, a library, and more. The facilities include a café and a shop, enhancing the visitor experience.Community and Cultural ImpactBeyond its collections, the Corning Museum of Glass is a vital cultural and educational institution, engaging both the global community and local residents through its programs and events.Our family's visit was nothing short of magical. It was a journey through the ages and across continents, exploring the essence of glass as both an everyday material and a medium of profound artistic expression.The museum was incredibly welcoming and engaging for visitors of all ages, making it a perfect destination for family outings. The blend of educational content, interactive demonstrations, and the sheer beauty of the glass artworks left us with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for this versatile material.

During our couple of days staying in the nearby town of Watkins Glen, we had the opportunity to visit the Corning Museum of Glass. I found myself wishing for more time to thoroughly explore the exhibits; 45 minutes simply wasn’t enough. Thankfully, the museum offered us a complimentary return entry valid for the next four weeks.Our visit began in the auditorium, where we were treated to a 20-minute live demonstration of glassmaking. The demonstration included a video detailing each step of the process, with a focus on the heating furnace used to melt the glass.The museum itself is segmented into various sections, including a prehistoric area, each richly filled with diverse displays. There was an impressive amount of security to ensure children didn’t touch any delicate pieces. The descriptions provided beneath each display were informative and added depth to our visit.The gift shop was remarkably large, the biggest I’ve seen in any museum. Although there was a café on site, it was unfortunately closed during our visit.Overall, visiting the Corning Museum of Glass is highly recommended for anyone in the area. It’s an enriching experience that shouldn’t be missed.

Wow!! Mind blowing. What a magnificant museum! The art glass displays were so moving, so vivid and so stunning. It's really difficult to take it all in. It really amazes me how infinite the possibilities of color form shape and texture are available in this medium. Really need two days to absorb it all. (ticket is good for two days) The facility is top notch, the artizen demonstrations are very educational. Also the cafeteria has a really good selection of food and the prices were quite reasonable. I was travelling with my daughter, but will definitely go back again so I can take my wife there. Also nice is that they have an area where RVs and Buses can park (although it's a pretty long walk if you have mobility issues like I do)

This place is awesome! Demonstrations of artists sharing their craft, beautiful museum pieces, scientific explanations of wverything from Pyrex to telescope lenses, to fiber optics. Knowledgeable staff and a fun experience. Huge gift shop with items from local artists and the opportunity to assist with a glass craft of your own. Tickets are good for two days. Good value for the money.

What an awesome time to visit during the week when it’s not busy. It was a little busy on weekday and I can’t imagine on weekends.The town is amazing too and one of the locals actually told us to come here. I would say get the membership as it about cheaper if you buy something at the end of theIt’s works like a loop and easy to visit everything here. I learned a lot and get to see amazing glasswork piece.This place is amazing huge and just stunning.

My daughter, mother and I visited on April 2nd and 3rd. We had an amazing experience both days. April 2nd we made glass flowers that came out beautiful thanks to Mona and her thorough help. She was the best. On the 3rd my daughter was chosen for her drawing from the daily, You Design it; we make it. Watching her drawing transform into the glass piece was just incredible. One of the most amazing museums I've experienced in a very long time. So impressive. We cannot wait to go back!

Very cool and interesting displays. Nice gift shop. Cafe food was priced as expected, maybe slightly cheaper. The food had good flavor but was not even relatively warm. I will definitely visit again to see new displays. The sandblasting was really fun and the glass sculpture making was very interesting. Highly recommend, but first watch Blown Away seasons 1-4, makes it that much more interesting.

Date of visit: May 31st, 2024Vast and vibrant.The Corning Museum of glass is a beautiful place to visit. The artistry and craftsmanship that goes into glass making – for commercial and artistic purposes is on full display.The gallery is so large – it can become overwhelming. There are so many exhibits to see and explore.You are taken through a history of glass making throughout time, uses of glass, and artistic uses of glass from stain glass to pieces of art, sculptures, home use, and much more.You can watch Glass blowing shows/demonstrations in the Blown Away gallery.The gift shop is also a fantastic visit. There is so many great items available to purchase.

Really great museum. I wasn't expecting all the older glass pieces or the more modern designs. It was a real treat and am glad that I stopped by. I highly recommend visiting.

We made ornaments and it was so much fun! The museum was a ton of fun! Both the modern side and the other side! Learning how glass is made, and has been made throughout history was just amazing! If you are ever in the area I suggest you stop by and do it!! You will love it because it is awesome!!

This place is really amazing! I had so much fun and learned a lot. I wish I lived nearby to make many trips! We paid to do the make-your-own glass, which I recommend! My only critique: I really wish they sold postcards with pictures of the art! I really wanted to buy some! My sister was hoping to find a calendar with pictures of the art. A lot of the pieces in the gift shop were gorgeous, but since we spent a lot on the visit+ activity+ shipping, we wanted to find something we could remember the art by without having to spend a lot of money.

If you're traveling to Niagara Falls and find yourself with an hour to spare, the Corning Museum of Glass is a must-visit gem. Conveniently located, this museum offers a fascinating exploration of the art, history, and science of glass. Each visit promises a unique and enriching experience, thanks to their captivating live demonstrations that showcase the intricate process of glassmaking.One of the standout features of the Corning Museum of Glass is the opportunity to design your own glass piece, making for an unforgettable and personalized souvenir. The museum's interactive exhibits are engaging and educational, appealing to visitors of all ages.Additionally, if you're a library member, you're in for a treat with free admission, making it an accessible and budget-friendly stop. Having visited multiple times, I can confidently say that each trip has been a delightful and rewarding experience, offering new insights and discoveries with every visit.The Corning Museum of Glass is not just a stop along the way; it's a destination in itself that promises to captivate and inspire. Don't miss out on this incredible attraction on your next journey to Niagara Falls!

This was my travel buddy's idea - I have never seen the TV show nor heard of the museum before our trip. While I greatly appreciate glass art, I'm more of a historical and classical artist so the modern applications of glass art were beyond my scope. Despite this, the museum offered a fantastic and eclectic mix of historical pieces with modern concepts, which kept me plenty busy reading and admiring. We attended one of the art studio sessions which was informative and fascinating to watch in real time. There is so much to see and experience in this one place! The gift shop was particularly sweet to browse through and I happily found a variety of marbles for the grandchildren.

I love history and this museum is a fantastic story of early bikes, motorcycles and airplanes, built by Glenn Curtiss. The display of bikes is amazing and many have been restored. The motorcycles were equally amazing and the story of Glenn Curtiss and racing bikes is awesome. He also built some great motorcycles. Most people will know him as part of the Curtiss-Wright airplane manufacturing. The planes on display are early types as well as a P40 Mustang made famous during WW2. If you are in the Finger Lakes, take the time to come and visit this place.

Nice museum. Beginnings of aviation history. Story of Glenn H Curtiss. See the documentary. It’s about an hour long but worth it. See turn of the century bicycles, motorized bicycles, motorcycles. The visitor will see how important Hammondsport, NY and Glenn H Curtiss was to early aviation through World War ll. You will enjoy seeing the interesting displays. Enjoy!

The structures outside of the facility, like war plane, railcar, statues, easily draw visitors into the experience of learning about the man who pretty much engineered anything mechanically or manually moveable from the early 1900's until his death. Seeing memorabilia encased behind glass or engines and moving parts on grand display transported us to simpler times. The age of invention was huge, and prior to touring the museum I'd had no idea what an impact this one individual had on it. I was in awe of the original biplanes, bicycles, engines and motor cars, as well as the replicas of what Glenn H. Curtiss had put into flight and/or motion. So much of what he began is still used today in some form, as he paved the way for further engineering. The airplanes, motorcycles, motorcars, family heirlooms, boats, cars, trucks, jeeps and machines in pristine shape made a big impression housed in that space. A small movie theatre paid tribute by film and various television sets shared video of the history of airplanes, etc. Everything was labelled with large posted readings. The education was endless. We were pleased to find the gift shop not only carried the usual souvenirs but tin signs and historical books as well. Towards the end of the tour, a slew of postcards were made available for a small donation. It was an inexpensive and highly informative trip that we'd love to take again.

Very interesting place. I enjoyed learning more about Glenn Curtiss and his contributions to motorcycles and flying. Lots of great flying machines, early motorcycles, and other vehicles pioneered by Curtiss, or that he helped influence.

A very nice and educational museum about early days of aviation. Wright Brothers is critical and more well known but Glenn Curtiss played a major role in making aviation, both military, naval and commercial, possible. This was a surprise find on the trip to the Finger Lakes. A must to watch the hour long documentary film. Wish they have better publicity.

A really cool out of the way museum. Really well laid out and a lot of artifacts. I use it as a place to sketch and draw and they have always been welcoming and helpful.

Wonderful museum to explore. Great film about the life of Curtiss and the competitive world of aviation. Museum has a nice gift shop and there are numerous examples of early bicycles, motorcycles, and vehicles that are all rare and beautifully restored including airplanes. Great fun for the family and his life is captured in a must see video that describes the professional challenges he met to develop innovative aircraft engines.

Lots to see and experience if you are interested in turn-of-the-century to WWII aviation and early motorcycles. There is a scavenger hunt for older kids that is fun. Little kiddos 5 and younger might find it a bit boring because it is (understandably) a do-not-touch type of museum, which can be hard for them. They do have a kids area with coloring and a paper airplane station.

The Glen H. Curtis Museum is truly outstanding, offering a diverse array of exhibits spanning from bicycles and motorcycles to airplanes. Each display is thoughtfully presented and thoroughly explained, making it a delight to explore. The collection of planes housed within the museum is truly impressive, and the accompanying one-hour movie provides an exceptionally informative experience. Without a doubt, this is a first-class museum that is well worth a visit.

Amazing to learn about our history and Naval aviation history. 10/10 would recommend to anyone to attend especially in time for the documentary the show

Well worth the visit. I didn't expect to enjoy the museum as much as I did. If you have time, the documentary is worth watching and runs continuously on a loop during museum hours. It was really informative and I learned so much! Had never really heard of Glenn Curtiss before visiting here, I was thoroughly impressed.

This place was amazing! We stopped into the movie playing in the theater, thinking we would only stay a couple minutes but watched the entire hour long video, amazed about the story and how much Curtiss contributed to aviation, vs. the Wright brothers. Cool museum, definitely give yourself enough time to watch the entire video in the theater.

Awesome place to visit. Ventured in to check it out and was especially surprised by the variety of items inside. Well worth a visit if you are into Cars, Bikes, Planes, Trains and a variety of other things. Loved the P40 rebuild shop, would love to work there, super impressed.

Outstanding museum and restoration facility. Being a bit of a WWII history buff, I knew about Curtiss aircraft but more interested in the legends of the skies. I had no idea Glenn Curtiss was the REAL LEGEND: a self-taught, engineer, speed record holder, businessman and even developer.His story was quite inspirational. He accomplished so much in his short 52 years, only 2 years older than me! A reminder to get on it and follow your dreams.Highlight was seeing the P40 Warhawk being restored, do not miss this area, it is hidden.

Terrific museum fully telling the Glenn Curtiss story with many significant airplanes and motorcycles on display. I especially appreciated most were not roped off so you could get close to see details and they allow access to the restoration areas. Nice gift shop as well.

Small museum that isn't daunting to visit. It has a scavenger hunt for kids that helped keep my boys engaged.

Although this is a small museum it is packed with local history.👨🏻‍🏫There is a whole lot to see and learn. Beautiful examples of early motorcycles.And (of course) the big story here is Glenn Curtis and his contribution to the development of aircraft for the US Navy.🫡

Cars airplanes boats motorcycles and so much more..... Absolutely a great place to visit any time of year....

This place was great and the gift shop was better than the Dayton Air Force museum. If you like interesting history and looking at vintage aircraft and motorcycles, this is your place. Glenn Curtiss was a remarkable guy.

Few people today remember that this once well-known aviation company was based right here in Upstate New York. Step inside this museum, and you’re met with a wide collection of motorcycles, bikes and cars. There’s even an Adams Motor Bungalo, the forerunner to modern day RV trailers. I had thought this museum would be more focused on aircraft, but it wasn’t until I got there that this place focuses on Glenn Curtiss as a whole and shows what other ventures he had throughout his life.It’s less of an aviation museum and has more of a transportation / racing museum. This is still a good spot for those wanting to learn about Curtiss aviation, but this is also a good spot for anyone one looking for old motorcycles, bicycles and cars.

Very interesting little museum! The informative documentary was longer than at most museums, but well worth it! I am a history buff and didn't realize Mr. Curtiss had such a large influence on motorcycle and aviation history! If you're in the Hammondsport, NY area, you should definitely check out this museum!

I would highly recommend visiting the Glenn Curtiss Museum! The museum is full of so much history. They have examples of early engines, motorcycles, planes, cars, just about something for everyone! Glenn Curtiss was an amazing man and the Museum does an excellent job in sharing his wonderful legacy.

This museum was very interesting and we learned a lot. The only negative things were that there were some cob webs now and there and it was quite cold. Plus there is a leak in the ceiling in the airplane room so be careful. Overall a pretty interesting and cool place I would recommend.

This museum is awesome! Lots of informative bits and blurbs, and it was easy to understand for someone who doesn't understand engines and such to digest. The classic boats and vehicles are so cool. The war hawk is suuuper neat, too. Definitely my favorite plane there. Staff is nice and the bathrooms were clean! :) They also have a theater for a movie and lots of places to sit down for people with mobility issues which is very thoughtful. 🐡

Glenn Curtiss was a boss. This museum is full of inspiration, information, and mechanical history that should blow your mind! I'm so glad I went. It was even better than I thought it would be!

This was an awesome museum to round off our tours of Kitty Hawk and Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, which didn't really fully cover the bitter competition between Wrights and Curtiss. Both parties were instrumental in the development of flight, but this museum truly illustrated Curtiss as a visionary and capable business leader. Although a smaller museum, the exhibits are great and the one hour documentary is stellar - don't miss it. Plays on a loop, so you can even watch half, tour a bit, then watch the other half if you wish. The plane restoration workshop was also cool, as they are restoring one of the planes found in a swamp! Really incredible to see the transformation so far. Afterwards we went to Wise Guys pizza in town and had a nice lunch there.

A small museum with a big collection of motorbikes and airplanes, friendly staff and a restoration shop to one side. It was very quiet there when I stopped there one afternoon near closing. I wish I had more time.

Super nice staff. Great location and beautiful views. Many sweet wines and limited dry whites. Some reds available. However, I definitely say to stop here. Engaged staff who are willing to share their knowledge and assist you with choosing which wines to sample.

Every time I visit Keuka Lake, I have to come to Bully Hill Vineyards. This time, we had the nicest tour with this young guy ( I forgot his name, but not his stories and personality). He is so knowledgeable about the Vineyard and the whole area. After that we had lunch at the restaurant which I always like. Great atmosphere overlooking the grape vines and the lake down below. The food was very good. You can buy gifts, have wine tasting experience, and leave the place feeling happier.

Very good spot! I am not a wine drinker but enjoyed the food. Try the French fries at all cost! The view is majestic.

Fun atmosphere for sweet wines and carefree afternoons. Sample and taste as you view the amazing overlook of the rows of grapes and the lake below. Friendly staff to support your journey.

The views are absolutely stunning from this vineyard with a rich a fascinating history. Our group enjoyed our wine tasting! We didn’t eat at the restaurant but I did have a few of the delicious wine chocolates sold in the gift shop.

Bully Hill is a great winery to get some quick fix for a meal. Their specials are definitely recommended over their regular menu options and are extremely flavorful! However, their portions are smaller compared to other places which is of note. Service is fast and friendly. The view of the Lake from their restaurant is just great. Additionally, the gift store is wonderful and so are their on-site museums. The goats on the property are definitely worth the visit as well!

Such a fun wine tasting! Our tasting guide was upbeat and entertaining throughout the experience. It's a must stop, especially if you like sweet wines. Also plenty of photo opportunities and great views.

Really nice experience! Only tried sweet wines and really were all great and very well priced! Favorites were Ravat 51 and Peach! Also so nice that they give a active and former service discount! Thank You! Also stayed for lunch and while was a bit pricy was very good and glad to have so convenient!

Amazing! My husband and I came up for some relaxation and tastings for a few days .This was our first stop day 2. Between the beautiful location, scenery, everything is amazing. We went to The tasting room and had Dylan as our server. He was all around great ! Not pushy and genuinely a real nice guy ! He went above and beyond .He was friendly and very knowledgeable! Definitely coming back next time we are in the area !!!

I have been there a couple times for lunch and wine. The atmosphere is great. A little bit of a hike up the steps, but they do have drop off area too!Most recently I had the crab cakes and scallops. WOW! Very good. It was hot, so I added a wine slushy.Sat out on the deck. Great view. It does get busy, even on a Wednesday.

bully hill wine is something we always have at home and we had the opportunity to visit the winery today. i can’t express enough how kind everyone who worked there was. you can tell the winery and everything created there is made with love! highly recommend trying the tasting and having some lunch (try the key lime pie!!). thank you for making a wonderful day even more special :)

Amazing staff at both restaurant and tasting! Fun things to do even if you aren’t a big wine drinker. Wine is very affordable with fun names. If I’m in the area again my pups and I will be back for a longer stay! Highly recommend.

There’s so much to love for this particular vineyard and it just keeps growing in popularity!!!!We’ve been coming back for the past 15-20yrs since dear Ed was still working behind the wine tasting counter.For some reason Ed just seemed to make the wine and the atmosphere so much better.We love the wine, food, location, staff but our favorite is the artworks that is on every bottle. Each artwork has so much depth and history.Location is absolutely breathtaking! It’s situated on a hillside overlooking the Keuka Lake and If you drive a little further past the winery you can stand on some of the large rocks and see where the actual forks of the Finger Lakes!!!Wine - hands down winner for us!Food and their restaurant is very delicious.Prices is very reasonable.Seated outside on their patio is priceless.Menu hasn’t hanged much but it’s still delicious and there’s a little for everyone.Staff is super friendly.Service is fantastic although ordering in non traditional. You have to go up to their counter and place your order like a fast food restaurant. Not bad but it works.Cleanliness is great.Gift shop is fantastic. It has a little something for everyone as well.Views from Bully Hill is the most beautiful compared to others but the best thing of course is their wine!!Overall everyone will enjoy it and they continue to be consistent with great wine, food and staff. Thanks for all wonderful memories Bully Hill.

We came here with a large bus group over the weekend, there weren’t many wineries in the area accepting buses and bully hill was the perfect stop. Lunch was quick and easy on the outdoor patio and Dustin was easily one the most entertaining bartenders we were served by over the weekend he handled two separate Bach parties at the same time with expertise. Highly recommend for groups big and small

Beautiful location. Good selection for food. Got our orders pretty quick.My family also did the wine tasting and a big selection of wines.

A must see if your passing by! Super friendly staff and delicious wine. Food was super delicious as well.

Nice mix of sweet and dry wines. Staff was super friendly, especially in the tasting areas. The food at the restaurant was awesome. A ton of paintings made by the founder and cool history of the vineyard in the museum. All in all, a very nice way to spend the day. This was our favorite vineyard near Keuka Lake!

It was our first time at this winery that a friend recommended. My husband & did the wine tasting. Dylan was behind the bar. He knows his job well, from all the different wines they offer to the history of the winery, which made it a more personal & fun experience. It has a beautiful view of the lake. We bought both merchandise & wine. This is now one of my top wineries. We will definitely be back.

We stopped in late afternoon on Memorial Day while traveling. The tastings were taking place in the gift shop/ tasting area. We tasted all dry reds and they were good. A few were unique and we enjoyed them. The person assisting us was friendly and knowledgeable on the wine and the area. It was a quick visit but we enjoyed ourselves. Parking was in a lot that overlooked the vineyard and Keuka lake.

I had a great time at Bully Hill while waiting for a friend to join me. I got to do some tastings before heading over to the restaurant for a late lunch. The wines and food are exceptional. Can’t wait to go back.

Was greeted by a wonderful host. He was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Food was great, ordered the hash special. Although I wish they had just a little more on the plate, I was not disappointed.Update: came back a couple weeks later and ordered salads, great salads!

Stunning views. Decent food with super quick service. Some of the restaurant staff were nice, others seemed annoyed to be there. Tasting room was just okay. Would have been nicer if it was outside and not just part of a store. The young guy who helped with our tasting was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and made the experience enjoyable. Everyone in our group bought a couple of bottles to take home. Overall, worth the stop!

We stopped today and I wanted to give your staff a 5 star review! From the restaurant, gift shop and gallery everyone was so customer focused. I ran a large customer service business for many years & you have wonderful people. The food was outstanding as well. Cheers we'll be back!

Extensive wine selection available for the tasting session, over 20 wines. Maybe 30. Unique way they bring the wine flights for tastings. Amazing views of Keuka Lake.

Our visit to Dr.Konstantin's can only be described as classy and elegant! We made reservations for a wine tasting a few weeks in advance for a morning slot. Sue helped us with our tasting and she gave us a lot of useful information and was kind and knowledgeable! The cheese & charcuterie board was worth trying, especially when paired with the suggested wines. All the wines here were of the highest quality and I was offered some sweet wines as per my preference even though they weren't on the tasting menu. The winery has great views of the Keuka lake and even Eugenia's garden (that recently opened for the season) is very pretty. I highly recommend adding this pioneering winery to your list when you visit the Finger Lakes.

We were recently on vacation in the FLX and one of our stops was Dr. Konstantin Frank. Through a recommendation we decided to stop on through and give it a shot. All I have to say is if you're looking for service and views, this place sets the bar high! The wine selection as well is on another level. Wide variety of styles, varietals and methods of wine making. Ryan was very knowledgeable and informative and extremely passionate about his position within the winery.

Fantastic experience overall. The staff is well versed on all thing wine without the pretentiousness. They’ll make you feel welcome and will go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. They will also take the time to explain every wine and the history behind the vineyard. Meaghan & Holly were very personable and attentive to everything we wanted and made some great wine and cheese recommendations. Highly recommend, especially in the fall when the trees are changing colors.

What a gorgeous vineyard! Once you arrive and check in you are walked outside and are seated on a beautiful deck overlooking the vineyards and the lake. Then your wine host/hostess comes over to start your tastings. We opted for the cheese board to go along with our tasting. You can eat in any order or you can have the suggested cheese in the order of your tasting. Our wine hostess was Sue, she was absolutely fabulous was well dressed in a chic summer outfit. As she poured the wine she gave us detailed information about the vineyard telling us the story of Dr. Frank. Sue was extremely knowledgeable about the wine and what it paired with and the flavor notes. If we were unsure which one to try Sue would suggest and every time it was a perfect suggestion. I highly recommend this vineyard and wine tasting! Huge THANK YOU to Sue she really elevated our experience and made it that much better!!

If you want to get into the tasting room with a view of the lake make reservations! Site is cute. Backyard wine garden for those who can’t get into the tasting room. Wines were ok, they were out of propane for heaters and food was limited. Had two flights of their wines and didn’t buy anything on the way out. For one of the top notch wineries per google in the Keuka Lake region I wasn’t impressed.

I have visited this winery for the past five years. It is my favorite place. Every summer that I visit there is a new “experience “to try. (thanks to the visionary Megan). This year we did the 1886 food and wine pier pairing. Alan and Yvonne were our hosts. Allen has been with the Winery for 24 years and has so much knowledge and lots of interesting stories to share. Yvvonne was in charge of the food and the presentation was so nice. I highly recommend this tour. It lasted three hours and was well worth it.

Such a meaningful place to visit on a wine tasting trip! The view, service, and food were awesome.

My fiance and I recently got engaged here, it is such a beautiful winery and tasting room. The staff took such good care of us, as well as our family and friends, they were so kind and extremely professional. I could not be more grateful for the Dr. Frank's staff for making me and my fiance's day so special. This moment will be remembered forever and we can't thank Dr. Frank's enough or say how wonderful they are. We had such a blessed day and can't wait to come back.

My husband and I visited Dr. Frank's Winery as part of a Crush Wine Tour. I'd very much been looking forward to this after visiting the FLX region last spring and not making it to Dr. Frank's. It definitely did not disappoint! Our server was very friendly & knowledgeable and the wines were delicious. We ended up shipping six home! Next time we are in the area we will not hesitate to make reservations and visit Dr. Frank's again.

Great little gem hidden on the top of the hill.. With great views of the lake and awesome customer service.. We ordered the very tasty cheese plater.. Dr Frank Winery is very accommodating and accessible for our handicapped mom.. service provided by Michael

A must see winery when in the Finger Lakes! The winery that revolutionized wine making in NY, OH and MI never disappoints. The wine, sparkling and still, is beyond excellent. The tasters have always been among the most courteous delightful, and knowledgeable in the region. Lauren did a fabulous job leading the 1886 experience and tour. Megan Frank is a terrific new generation leader who treats all she meets like family. The tradition of excellence is in good hands!

My wife and I had a wonderful day, full of information, tasty food and wine during the 1886 wine tasting experience at Dr Frank’s Vinifera Wine Cellars on Sunday afternoon. The small group joining us was attentive, curious and easy to get along with. We enjoyed each other’s company as we were introduced to several different wines, red, white, rose and sparkling. We also toured the tank room and barrel room, sampling wines yet to be bottled. Our host, Allen(sp?)was superb with details all along the way. The event was the most involved and detailed in which I have participated. The occasion was topped off with four additional wine samples, paired with light food dishes when we returned to the tasting room, with tables set up for us. What a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

We not only had a fun time but the wines were so delicious! My guests and I are in the industry and we all highly recommend visiting this beautiful vineyard that also has an amazing view. The charcuterie plate was exceptional and our wine educator/server was perfect. We had an amazing time tasting wonderfully delicious wines! Thank you Gillian.

As wine lovers who make an annual trip to the Finger Lakes in search of new wineries and experiences, my wife and I were thrilled to finally visit the renowned Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery this year. Despite arriving on a very rainy day, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the gracious hospitality and exceptional offerings that the winery provides.We had the pleasure of participating in the "1886 Wine Experience", for a visit that surpassed all our expectations. The experience began with a fascinating walk in the vineyards, where we learned about the pioneering innovations that Dr. Konstantin Frank brought to the region. It was incredible to hear how his legacy shaped and elevated winemaking in the Finger Lakes.One of the highlights of the visit was the intimate tasting session, thoughtfully guided by Allyn. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the rich history of the winery and the Frank family to life. Each wine was paired with beautifully crafted small bites prepared by Yvonne, creating a delightful blend of flavors that perfectly complemented the exceptional wines.Even as the rain poured down outside, the ambiance inside was warm and inviting. Allyn's enthusiasm and expertise made the experience truly special, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the dedication that goes into every bottle of Dr. Konstantin Frank wine.We're already looking forward to returning next year, eager to explore more of their exquisite wines and share in the unique heritage that makes this winery such a treasured destination.Thank you, Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, for an unforgettable experience. Your commitment to excellence and your family's passion for exceptional winemaking are truly one of a kind.

Dr. Frank's is our FAVORITE winery in the Finger Lakes region. We visited today and our host, I believe his name was Giorgio? Not sure but he was absolutely wonderful. We did a tasting and he took the time to explain the different flavors of wines, and actually named several dishes the wines were compatible with. He made our tasting fun and informative. Dr. Frank's is very dog friendly as long as your pet is well behaved. Our 2 schnauzers really enjoyed the cold cement floor during this heat wave! Everyone we came into contact with was pleasant and considerate. We highly recommend joining the wine club, you will never be disappointed! Thank you to all the staff for making the winery a truly enjoyable experience, see you next year!Scott and Susan

What a wonderful experience! The venue and views of the lake are great and the wine is superb. But what truly made this a memorable experience was our tasting guide Lynn. She was a welcoming and gracious host. Her knowledge of wine and the history of the family winery was impressive and insightful. She even recommended some great dining options for dinner that evening. We are looking forward to our first member shipment and hope to see Lynn again when we make our next trip to the FLX region.

Dr. Frank's is a definite "must stop" on your wine trail journey through the Finger Lakes. The tasting experience is even more engaging with a Charcuterie Board - definitely worth the purchase! We loved our time with George as our guide through the tastings. He was entertaining and so well-informed, explaining each offering and sharing trivia about the vineyard and wine making. We have visited often and will continue to do so in the future. Finally, we are so glad to be wine club members. This is a great way to enjoy wines from a favorite winery since we do not travel to the Finger Lakes as often as we would like. Thank you for a great time!

Mine and wifes favorite vineyard. Do not skip on the chartuterie board. Really set the wine off and was a sensory experience. The person doing the tasting was amazing and super friendly. Highly recommend

One of my favorite Finger Lakes wineries, so very many great wines. Three of us did a girls trip and on Saturday (5/11), Allyn was our very pleasant, fun, knowledgeable, informative "server". He made the experience of sampling excellent wines even more special. Thanks so much Allyn!!

We visited the Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery for the first time on June 10, 2024. We had heard many good things about the Winery and made reservations for a Signature Seated Tasting. We’ve visited 20 Finger Lakes wineries in the past year, and the experience at Dr. Frank’s was extraordinary and by far the most informative and enjoyable. Wine Educator Lynn told us about Dr. Frank and the history of the Winery. She described the wines on the tasting sheet in detail, including how each wine is made. We enjoyed Cheese and Charcuterie for Two with our tasting, and Lynn provided details about the cheeses, chocolates, jams, fruits, and crackers which were paired with wine selections. All were delicious, unique, and enjoyable. Lynn could not have been a better host. We joined the Wine Club and look forward to visiting again!

Dr Frank is a must!!!The wines are amazing and you have the most breathtaking view! There’s Keuka Lake, the vineyards and just so much history!We loved the charcuterie board, everything was delicious. If you have a chance ask George to guide your tasting! He’s so much fun and gives you lovely insights on the wines and the winery. 10/10

We took the 1886 tour and tasting which was an amazing experience. The guide was extremely friendly and informative and the wines and food pairings were delicious. Their management and staff are extremely professional and very accommodating.

My husband and I made a reservation for the tasting tour with foods pairing and Alan, our host was amazingly knowledgeable but friendly and not overly pretentious. His tour was at a great pace, filled with history and humor, personable, and fun. Foods were tasty and very fitting with each wine. If you don’t like overly sweet wine, this is the vineyard for you.

Traveling to the area to see family and try some wine, decided to give this place a try. If I could give it a half a star, I would. The only reason it gets half a star is because of the scenery. The wine, the staff and the atmosphere were just blah. Rich, bratty overpriced vibe. Not welcoming in any way. Forget being pet friendly. If you feel the need to tell people to curb their pets with a sign every 5 feet, you aren’t pet friendly. If you need one sign that states that, you aren’t pet friendly. They aren’t really people friendly. If you don’t fit a certain mold (rich, pompous, arrogant) you won’t be treated with the time of day. There is far better wine throughout the finger lakes. Leave this place off your places to visit.

We love many of wineries in this area, but Dr. Konstantin Frank is on the top on our list. Best of the best in wine pairing, services, wine quality, management hospitality. Two visits- two great experiences.

Our visit was wonderful. The tasting is absolutely worth it: wines are good, pairings are amazing, and the server was knowledgeable and so nice. We then moved to the Garden to have more wine and food and the second place was even better! And what amazing views.

This is the best wine tasting experience in the Finger Lakes.The wine are absolutely delicious, the staff is kind and attentive, the history of the place is amazing, the cheeses are beautiful and well-paired. It’s just perfect.We went to the Finger Lakes on our summer vacation and this was, by far, the best wine tasting we tried.

Simply the best winery on Keuka, and maybe in the finger lakes as a whole. The wines are phenomenal. The knowledge and history the staff provide during the tasting is beyond anywhere I have ever gone. If you add their charcuterie board with the tasting, it is perfection. We are wine club members and are at the winery almost every month for tastings and events. Each time is a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend this winery enough.

This winery is unfailingly hospitable. The Reislings and the sparkling wines were my favorites. The charcuterie board is well curated with delicious new york products. The view makes me feel like I’m in the Rheingau and so do the wines. I really enjoy visiting Dr. Frank.

Great wine tasting experience, not just for the wines, but our host was super friendly and gave good introductions. There were I think 5 main categories, and a choice of 2 or 3 wines each time

Yesterday we made some friends they recommended Dr. Frank winery. What a great recommendation! Lynn guided our tasting experience she was phenomenal sharing the history of the wines area and knowledge of the wine. We appreciated the time spent making us feel welcome. The wines were awesome with stunning views of Lake Keuka. Thank you for a wonderful experience we will be back for more wine!

One of our favorite wine tastings - Paul was our host, he was great! We ordered the charcuterie board (highly recommend) to pair with the wine tasting - excellent from the moment we arrived. Friendly, inviting staff, beautiful views and knowledgeable - excellent. Already want to come back and do it all over. And buy the Chardonnay butter, some cheese and your favorite wine(s) while you’re at it.

WG is a great track. Lots of variation. High style all the way to camping.The track and vendors are all cashless - another nice touch.We enjoyed the six-hour IMSA main. More, and longer access to the cars would have been nice.The access and facility maps online absolutely suck! Parking is not clear in regards to who can park where. The maps look like the pdf of a pamphlet (in 2023).

Was having a test run the day we visited, free entry to view the track! A place you can go to say, I have been there! Hate we will miss the big Nascar races next weekend.

What an experience! We had an awesome time on our "Drive the Glen" trip! For $30 you get to drive your own car around the track 3 times. It felt exhilarating driving through the S turn and straight away! I would highly recommend it to anyone! Wayne also did a great job, he really made it fun!

Opening day 2022!! I try to make it every year! Always a good time! Rain and a little hail this year but that didn't stop the Rochester Corvette Club! We showed up 20 Corvettes strong!!

Watkins was a great experience. In the stands around the track offer great visibility. I love the fact that you can walk through the paddocks to see the teams. Overall awesome experience and Family oriented track.

Lotsa walking, great place, super friendly fans. Depending on where you sit, you may or may not need ear protection. In general admission this time, however next I will be in the stands. Awesome time! Must be a tradition to toss your mts to the infield

I did not do any tours or driving here but I drove up to take a look just because of how famous it is. 🤩I was staying in the campground nearby and I could hear the cars each day.

Great time here racing. The track concession stand food is some of the worst track food I've ever eaten, be aware of this when you go there. The saving grace was a local pizza joint that had a pizza oven there, and it was great!

Did two sessions of Diving the Glen on a gorgeous Friday afternoon. For $30 you get to do 3 laps and stop to take pictures on the second lap. Had a great time taking the old 1972 Vette around. Great experience that I'll remember for life.

I was here for the Gridlife event. Nice place, super clean and landscaped. It is a large place that had a small hometown feel. Nice location in the countryside. Staff were helpful and friendly. Looking forward to being back in the future

Great track with a deep history. Local PD could do a better job emptying the track, took us an hour to go 2 miles.Also, the PA system is garbage and the Jumbotrons are…. Not jumbo - having good screens and good audio is key on road tracks. That said, many bring/rent radios so maybe not a huge concern.Love this track.

We went here for a free viewing of a car club and then paid to Drive the Glen. I think they do this most days as noon and 5. The staff was very friendly and it was a really cool experience.We got to drive around the track 3 times and stopped for pictures at the start/finish line.

Watkins Glen is one of America's gems. More than just a race track with deep F1 history, Watkins Glen, NY, offers something for everyone. Sip wine at any of the wineries along Lake Seneca, hike the famous falls and enjoy the downtown vibe. Have a beer while enjoying racing memorial at the Seneca Lodge and explore surrounding towns while making sure to tour the Corning Glass Museum. You can even drive along the original town race circuit, starting at the Dinosaur. Harbor Hotel downtown is the place to stay if you don't mind premium pricing. Otherwise, grab a room at any of the dozen locally owned hotels. Let's Race!

I have visited for the Sahlen's IMSA race, and I am so surprised that the attendance was low. Hopefully it has risen since 2021, because this location is awesome. The hilltop views from the grandstands are amazing, and add to the already perfect location of Watkins Glen.

We went for the Finger-lakes Wine Festival and it was awesome! Seemed to of been hundreds of vendors, live music, food, and took a lap in a pace car on the track. Plenty of bathrooms and showers everywhere. This gave me a new respect for road courses.

Always a good race here. Came for the IMSA event and general admission gets you access to all the grandstands as well as the paddock where you can meet the drivers and get their signatures. Camping is good here, Sahlen hotdogs weren't bad but I recommend cooking your own stuff if you camp or bring lunch if you're here for the day. The track is fantastic and nestled in a beautiful part of NY. Racing itself was particularly exciting this weekend with much drama and action. The best spot by far is the grandstands at the first corner looking down the front straight. You get a great view of the start line, first corners, and even all of the esses as well as a broadcast screen.

Always a phenomenal time. The vintage car races are Is the highlight of my summer. I absolutely adore open nature of the race track and the ability to walk the pets and move around for different vantage points.

Visited this place when went to Watkins Glen. There were no events happening when we visited. Therefore we got the chance for the free viewing of the area. It was so cool. Will definitely come back for an event. When you are in this place don’t miss their free viewing if there’s no events happening!!

Love coming here. One of the absolute best tracks in the country. If you're a car person this needs to be on your list.

Some of the best amateur racing in the united states is going on the first weekend in june right here at Watkins Glen International racetrack..... Watkins Glen New York.....

We did drive the Glen. Read the info page to get to the correct location. It's gate 2 shown in the photos. Spend 30 bucks at McDonald's or 30 bucks driving a few laps around a iconic racetrack and hit 100mphs just like the pros? Take my money please!!

Was a good time. People were great. But the place is nowhere near what I expected from a Nascar owned facility. What are they doing with all that $$ they're making? Sure ain't putting it into that track!Year 2 update. It seems they put a little $ into the facilities since I was here last. There was some updated signage and there may have been some "fresh" paint (at least fresh as in sometime in the past year) but there is still random wires and cables hanging all over the garages, door seals dangling in the breeze when the doors are up, light fixtures that probably haven't seen a cleaning since they were put up Not that you could tell without really looking hard because a third of them are burnt out, and most of the working bulbs are so dim they don't do much to light the garage work areas. What amazes me the most is how worn out the outlets are! You plug something in and the weight of the cord pulls the plug right out of the socket! You literally have to redneck engineer them with duct tape to keep them plugged in! I'm honestly surprised the place hasnt burnt to the ground from an electrical fire because of them!!I will say the people are very nice and the restrooms were clean and well stocked. The rest of the place and most of their equipment has long since past the point where the saying 'it's seen better days" would still be appropriate. It honestly looks like the only place they have spent money is where the public spends their money and where the rich people hang out. They have left the behind the scenes areas that make it function as a Race Track to decay to the point it's almost not enjoyable to go and put on the show that's bringing in the people to buy the WAY OVERPRICED souvenirs!

Amazing ! So much fun exploring all over the grounds! Got to see all the Cars, Garages, pits, and many different vantage points of the very large track! First time doing an event like this and we thoroughly enjoyed it ! Would love to come back for a legit big Nascar race! Many food and drink options . We did free parking in the back lots and it was pretty convenient to just walk over!

Awesome place to watch racing from I love the staff at the track

Great track and lively crowd. Lots of events, vendors & good vibes all around the track. The only negative was I bought seats behind the pit, which I thought was premium… until I essentially had to walk to Mars and back in order to get to them; only one way into the pit seats, and one ways out. Of course I parked at the lot on the other side of where I should have.This is all a verbose way to say, “Prepare to walk.” This isn’t a negative, but it is a warning. 😉

didnt stay long because of a bad storm rolling in. just went to check it out, could see a few cars racing. would be cool to come for an event some time!

If you love waterfalls Watkins Glen State Park is the place for you. The Gorge trail is about 1.5 miles one way and follows the Glen Creek through tunnels carved into the rock, next to many waterfalls and you actually walk under two waterfalls.While there are over 800 stairs it is an easy trail because you stop so often to take in the views. Having said that the trail is definitely not handicap accessible. Use the main entrance as it gives you the best views. If you choose not to walk back there is a shuttle at the upper parking lot that will take you back to the main parking lot. Entrance to the park is free but there is a $10 parking fee. You can park on the street for two hours for free. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid the crowd which can get in the way of your pictures. Going late afternoon will give you a beautiful rainbow at Rainbow Falls as the water catches the sun.

Visited here last year with family and plan to go here many more times. You start from the top or the bottom of the loop either way is a wonderful experience. All the waterfalls and scenic views were just thrilling and picture worthy. Very well maintained park and area. It is a must item to have on any buckle list for outdoor excursions.

Stunning place to visit. Lots of trail options and most being dog friendly. Expect stairs and a fair few muddy areas so dress sensibly especially with some waterfalls spilling over and getting you wet. Some signage issues and things not so clear but overall great place to visit. Quite busy and seems to be a big tourist spot for some bus tours so expect busy and tightly packed paths

This place is spectacular. 100% reco a stop. There are a lot of stairs and it is muddy in places so wear proper shoes and consider bringing a hiking stick. The waterfalls are just amazing. There is parking just outside the park, but you can also find parking in town for free if it’s not a busy day. Dogs are only allowed on the higher trails, so suggest leaving them at home if you want to see the best parts of the gorge!

It is an amazing place to visit. More than 1.5 miles of scenic gorge, waterfalls, and beautiful nature. And many miles more trails in the woods. Make sure you are wearing good hiking shoes. The walkways are wet, sometimes muddy, and can be slippery. The park offers some truly breathtaking views. Thousands of stunning photo opportunities. All the amenities you could need are here. Several gift shops, rest rooms, sitting areas, food, parking, playground, grills and picnic areas, etc. Admission to the park itself is free. However, it will cost you 10 dollars to park your car for the day. This is a park you will remember for life. I highly recommend you check it out.

It’s a must see place. Be ready to walk quite a stairs to get some awesome falls view. Some of the stretch is pretty narrow so be aware of it as the crowd gets wild and people stand to take photos for long. I would highly recommend to start hiking from the main entrance and walk along the waterfalls and then loop around the south rim trail as this way of hiking seem to be easy and you get to have proper views.

I visited 3/29/22. The parking and entry were both free due to it being the off season. It’s in a busier area so not ideal for those seeking a more undisturbed nature type setting. The main gorge trail as well as the welcome center and bathrooms were closed for the season. They had porta-potties outside. The trials I went on that were open were pet friendly. There was some ice but nothing crazy, it was the worst on the suspension bridge as I recall. Some of the trails leading out of the park towards the south entrance indicated that they went in directions they didn’t aka the temporary signage they put up could’ve been better. I saw two other small groups of people there while I was. Overall it was a pretty sight to see and I would revisit again in the summer/fall if given the opportunity.

Amazing Views and trails. The mountains with beautiful creative shapes into amazing waterfalls. We did park our car at the bottom and took shuttle all the way up, shuttle charges 6 dollar per person. We started Indian trail from top going down with lot of look outs with good views. We were 4 adults and 3 kids so with kids it's easy to take Indian trail. They also have gorge trail which has amazing view but lot if stairs but would be totally worth it. Definitely worth visiting

Watkins Glen State Park was well worth the almost 2 hour trek from Syracuse! This was our first hike in New York and it was so worth it! $10 admission at the gate... No problem it is worth all of it! The Park and water falls were breathtaking! There are a lot of stairs but the views make up for it. I have never been to a place that has a different great view around every turn. The pictures don't do it justice. This is a must see location for any trip close to the area or even 2 hours away!

Definitely the Grand Canyon of EC !!Beautiful picturesque location, great scenery . I would recommend entering via South Entrance that way you can save on a few steps and still cover the entire park in the 3 mile loop.Wear rainproof clothing and good hiking boots as the rocks and the pathway can get slippery.Lots of crowds on weekends, if possible for good photos visit on weekdays..

Magical place! The best hike I have ever had. It’s a bit less than 2 miles one way, multiple cascading waterfalls, stone bridges and multiple trails. You will get wet and make sure your footwear has a good grip. The scenery is dreamlike out of this world. Definitely a must see if you’re in the finger lakes/upstate New York region.

Beautiful place in the winter leaving me wanting to come back! Unfortunately (although for good reason), the gorge trail is closed in the winter time. However, the rim trails are still open, providing for some spectacular views in a way that feels different than what you would see in the summer. It truly is a magical place with the snow and ice.

Beautiful and awe inspiring views and waterfalls!! Incredible to see the formation of this spectacular gorge!! An absolute MUST see!!Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing as well as bring water! This is an incredible walk with many... 822 steps to be exact to conquer! You can however start at the upper parking lot. And when you get to the bottom. You can take the shuttle back to your car. I suggest that for anybody with little ones or if you haven't done much cardio or steps. Very intense but definitely worth it!!

Awesome state park in Western New York. The must see is the 1.5 mile Gorge trail featuring great scenery with multiple waterfalls, stone bridges and the Gorge/river itself. You can combine this for a 3 mile walk with the indian trail and make it a loop. Neither trails are particularly difficult, other than a steep staircase at the end of the Gorge trail. No dogs allowed on the Gorge trail. There is a small visitor center, but it didn't look like there was any seating inside. Parking is $10 but I got there early enough to utilize the free 2 hour street parking.

Very nice park to visit. Proper footwear and clothing recommended for safety. Areas are often wet and could very slippery. Bring water as there is no place to buy one after you start your walk and unfilled you finish on the other end. Many waterfalls, colorful flowers (visited end of August).

Beautiful. The Gorge trail was closed for the season so check the website before you come. You an still take other trails. No dogs on the gorge trail but ok in the park and other trails.

One of the best state park with small river ripping thru stones and presenting natural curves and shapes. Definitely worth visiting.

It has 3 trails. Gorge trail is the lowest and nearest to all falls. I recommend use this trail if it is open for better view and magnificent scenery.

Very easy hike with beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend coming peak foliage and if you want to avoid crowds, try getting there before 10am. The hike itself is only took an hour and a half to go there and back; 2 hours if you're taking your time and stopping to take pictures. Parking is $10 for the day.

Watkins Glen State Park in New York is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, particularly the Gorge Trail, which features 19 waterfalls and picturesque views. The trail is a highlight for many visitors, offering a moderate hike with wet and slippery sections, especially around the challenging Jacob's Ladder staircaseThe park's campground is noted for its woodsy ambiance and varied sites, some of which have electric hookups. While the campsites are generally well-maintained, reviews indicate that bathrooms could be cleaner and more modern. The park also offers an Olympic-sized pool and is conveniently located near the town, making it easy to explore local attractionsWatkins Glen State Park is highly appreciated for its combination of hiking opportunities, scenic beauty, and camping facilities, though there are areas for improvement in terms of amenities and site maintenance.

We have been for several times, and this place, definitely, the best place ever!It took us about 2 hours, you need to have snacks, comfortable clothes and sneakers! Go ahead 😀

Amazing!!! A great trail for the whole family! Very beautiful and mesmerizing views. Light enough for many people. There are ups and downs, but everything is compensated by gorgeous views.There are shuttles to return to the beginning of the route to the parking lot. I will definitely come back again!!!

Just visited Tioga for the first time ever after being hounded by my buddy for years to go. We almost exclusively play poker around PA and NY. I really enjoyed my time there. I was a little surprised how small the poker room was…I don’t think they have more than 6-7 tables if that. Dealers are always a big thing with me and I got to say, all the dealers were EXCELLENT. I found them friendly, personable, genuine and they knew their jobs. I wasn’t familiar with some of the house rules like straddling the button (I know of the rule but never played it in a game) so even as an experienced player I occasionally missed the straddle. The players and the dealers were all understanding and helpful. Same goes for what is considered a bet. They have some unique rules, one of which I broke but nobody gave me a hard time as it didn’t affect the action. Again, people were helpful in explaining the house rules. I’ll def be back and hope to explore the Casino more outside the poker room. I’d also like to see an expansion of the poker room but it is a rural location so I get it.

Our first visit to Tioga Downs was a great one. We met my cousins there because they highly recommended the all-you-can-eat Thursday buffet. They were right to recommend it. The crab legs were fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff was happy and fun deal with. We left the restaurant almost too full to walk, and if our shirts were sporting some butter stains...so what? After dinner, we stepped into the casino where I promptly won over $1000 on a penny machine. Talk about a good night. Thank you Tioga Downs. We will be back as soon as possible.

We were passing through and needed a place to stay. We were pleasantly surprised. Customer service was great. The rooms were in great condition. Most of the restaurants and activities were closed. I'm thinking the activities were closed due to the season. Certain restaurants were only open certain days. I do not recommend their buffet. There's a Dunkin donuts on site which was a plus! We ate at Divots bar and grill. It was all that was open for dinner at the moment, so we had to settle for it. The hotel is in a VERY remote area, so we could not leave and go to other restaurants off site.

Stayed in their new RV park, narrow sites, but level concrete pads and well lighted. Outdoor Pool was warm and relaxing, casino typical of any other in NY/PA/NJ (but then we only play a few rounds on Roulette). Bar poker machines had decent winning cycles. Casino and Hotel facility and were extremely clean and looked new. Every staff member we interacted with were helpful and friendly. Meanwhile , all the restaurants were excellent quality and had good prices. Did not encounter waiting to be seated at any of the resort restaurants, with the exception of the buffet. Not a fan of buffet style eating, so it was non-issue.The best attraction here is Harness Racing on Sunday afternoon, fun for all ages. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms. Walk to casino is long especially for people that have difficulty walking. Have stayed numerous times and prefer track side rooms on 3rd floor. In summer the outside pool is delightful and the cabanas offer bit of privacy. In winter the hot tub and indoor pool offer a nice cold weather break. There is also a fitness room and for the kids an arcade. Meals in the restaurants are tasty and affordable when using a coupon and comps. I would recommend staying in the resort.

Absolutely beautiful facility, wonderful staff, and very nice rooms. The accomodations within the facility are everything you would need, and all of the highest quality. Everyone you interact with are friendly and polite. The rooms were clean and well appointed. There is no shortage of food choices, and the bars were well staffed. We had a wonderful experience here, again.

We absolutely love spending our time at this casino. We drive 3 hours just to come up and enjoy the atmosphere here. People are friendly and the food is amazing. I highly recommend coming here to have a good time plus the music they play in the casino is awesome!!

My fiancé and I stayed here and had an amazing time. it was a great weekend away! We loved that we were able to get a early check in and a late check out! He enjoyed the golf course, and I loved the spa Ashley who gave me my facial was just wonderful almost fell asleep!!! definitely will be staying again. only negative I would say is that the indoor hot tube did not have working jets. other than that we had the best time.

Enjoyed our one night stay. It was a convenient location on our return route and the price was right. Loved the bathroom, especially the shower. A nice touch for a budget friendly hotel. And then the bed sheets gave us a very uncomfortable night's sleep. I have never had such cheap sheets on a hotel bed...no elastic or maybe too small for our king bed. All four corners pulled off the bed while we slept. Made for a very poor night of sleep.

Rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The grounds need some attention- lots of weeds in the landscaping and cigarette buts all over the lots. Several of the restaurants were closed during our stay, which was disappointing as was the slide. Outdoor pool was nice and clean, but the bar was closed (in the middle of the summer). The indoor pool was gross and the hot tub looked like it has not been cleaned for years- scummy and disgusting.

Lovely! Room was beautiful, pool was nice and warm, kids had a blast. Staff was super friendly. Casino was fun. One of our favorite places we go twice a year. We love it

My family and I stay try and stay here every month if not then every 6 weeks or so. The perks that they offer are second to NONE in my opinion….seriously check them out!! It’s SOOOOO cool how much free stuff the give you just for being YOU‼️ The overall experience I’ve always had from day one have been the same…It feels like home 🥰 The staff are so busy yet always so kind and courteous and helpful!! They are so accommodating especially if you have disabilities and or physical difficulties. The food is always great…the variety they have is always delicious and impressive. There is always a very clean atmosphere and the amenities are always a fantastic option to just chill and say “ahhhhhh”. I can’t say enough good things about everyone there and the atmosphere and experience is never ever a disappointment 💯🥰

Love that this place is always very clean and well staffed. Lots of slot machines and table games with an all non-smoking gaming floor. Restaurant has really good, casual type foods like burgers, wings, sandwiches, etc. They also have a buffet that seems to be hit and miss. One time it's excellent, next time everything is cold. Prices are fair Mon - Thurday but week end prices go up considerably. They now have an asian restaurant that is excellent with everything fresh and hot, well worth the trip.

First off, I rated the rooms a 3 because I did not stay in the hotel. That area looks nice and seems to have many amenities. The casino is clean, plenty of games and slots. They have a generous players club - I racked up promos and player points so quickly. Harness racing is fun and they have betting windows and electronic kiosks. A good number of food options. All in all a great casino experience.

went to a concert, seen 'Live Wire' an AC/DC Tribute band. and they were great! The only thing that would have made it better, was if I had won some money in the casino!!! Oh well, maybe next time!!! We live fairly close so did not get a room.

The hotel seems pretty well-run. My room was clean. It was easy to get to my conference in the event center. Food at the restaurants was quite good. I didn’t spend any time gambling, but the entertainment venues were just fine. Whether you’re going for horse racing or casino, action or conference this hotel is certainly recommended.

Great concert venue. They book great tribute bands plus good classic rock bands to benefit veterans. They also have good food vendors. And they also do a lot to benefit the community.

I've only played at a few casinos, and while rare I make a trip out to tioga, I seem to see a lot of handpays. A few being my own. Staff is very friendly. The tables get a little rowdy, but that's expected. Great spot for UFC fights, too! Buffet has seating facing the race track, and make sure you go when the dogs are racing! 😊

Middle of nowhere. Had to take numerous side roads to get there. Parking garage was full. They had a sign INSIDE the garage telling you that. Too late to turn around or use parking lots outside. Had to go clear to the top of the garage to turn around. Sign needs to be outside.

We haven't been here in a while, so we took a chance on date night to become rich! All in all, we didn't leave any better or worse off than when we got there. Parking was easy right atop the parking ramp. We forgot our club cards, but getting new ones was easy at the front counter. We also needed to change our address, which they made painless. The ATM charges $3.25 to take out cash, so make sure you bring some. An area classic spot for date night or to catch a race in the Summer. Thumbs up guys, keep up the good work 👏

Stopped by on our way home in Ohio and spent a day here. Great find! Super clean with great amenities we loved it here. Buffets were excellent and fruit was top notch. We’ll be back!!

Got ROBBED out of a $100 bucks BY cage cashiers, and staff during exchange of currency from $20 bills into $100 bills a total of $1K in count.Please beware, !!!!!If I could leave NO STARS AND NO POSITVE COMMENTS, from the options available would be best too say!!!!Worst experience ever, once the cashier shift was over and I was asleep in semi truck. Some of the staff came near my vehicle stating that “ I got your money, do you want it back”. It was obviously a bait call for the remaining amount I possessed. I stayed on location until morning , to consult with authorities accept none responded and I was denied again by casino security to obtain my money that was stolen. Gaming commission and police has not responded to messages left, so far.

We stayed in the hotel with out 2 small children. Room was spacious and nice. We ate dinner and breakfast at the buffet which we thought was good for the price. The kids loved the xmas lights and the pool/hot tub. We were least impressed with the arcade and the prices of the games. We will go back but we will be skipping the arcade next time

Worst payouts. I have spent easily $4,000 in the 3 years on slots and only got about $30 payouts. One time I got 140$.. but I am negative$4,000. Clean, good vibes. No payouts

Avoid the Hotel! Mattress was like a cheap dorm room spring mattress you replace! I’ve never slept on anything this bad even at motel 8! Nice amenities AWFUL BEDS!! Food was good, nice folks but the bed killed our backs! We WILL NEVER stay there again!!

The gambling is fun, rooms are very nice except lately every time we get one there's no bath robes and we have to call the front desk to get some. Front desk service is hit or miss. Some nights they quick with requests and polite as can be, others you can tell they hate their job and don't wanna do anything. Location is nice, only like a mile off the highway. Other than that it's a decent place to spend a few hundred dollars

Only complaint is that I am handicapped and had to drop my luggage at hotel and drive to valet to get a scooter.At all of my previous stays it was very convenient to get scooter at the hotel.I must say the hotel staff was very apologetic.Kudos to the young lady at valet upon our arrival and Joe at our departure. Very kind.

Went to the buffet for dinner. Dinner buffet only $10 for seniors on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Includes drink with refills, salads, soups, meats, fried chicken, fish, mussels, roasted veggies, red skin smashed potatoes, stuffing, pizza, french fries, lots of desserts, soft serve ice cream machine. All you can eat and all delicious!Didn't stay at hotel or go into the casino, but both seem very nice.

We went for a card show that didn't exist, so we stayed and played some slots for a bit instead. What a great way to blow my money! But it was fun!

Very bad experience at lunch buffet with very rude waitress, who even raised her voice because she said she was too busy to refill beverages and she let dishes pile up. This place is hit or miss, food and service, not going here anymore for a while, going to go to other Casinos, like Turning Stone and Pocono in the future-more consistent service.

I was cashing a horse betting ticket and i started to turn around - and was ran into by tioga employee. I contacted security - and DOMINICK the officer in charge responded- this is a busy place - this happens all the time. LAME ANSWER -that makes no sense. WILL see what Jeff GURAL - THINKS DOMINICK.

Love my time at Tioga Downs!! The hotel is beautiful & convenient for trips to the casino floor. As a frequent visitor to the casino, the rewards program is a must! There are a multitude of slots & table games to choose from and they're always updating the machines. Worth the trip!!

Rooms are updated, a little more than you'd see at other casinos, but there isn't a very large place to begin with. Staff there is remarkable regardless of what you're up to. My ultimate recommendation for this place is the crab leg buffet. They're snow, but these are big and not like what you'd see at an average Chinese Buffet. The price can't be beat at 30 a person for all you can eat(that's with a military discount fyi).

We went to Hermann J. Wiemer without reservations, and they were nice enough to accommodate us. The tasting was done in one of the rooms overlooking the vineyards. We were given an ample selection of wines to pick for our tasting, with no limit as to the number of wines we could choose. They give 2.5 ounces per wine which is enough to share between two people. We wanted to buy every wine we tried, as they are of excellent quality. We ended up buying 4 bottles. This is definitely a winery I would like to visit again. The staff was very knowledgeable and overall friendly. Great experience!

This winery was not on our list initially due to time constraints, but we were passing by and had heard so much about it, we decided to make a stop. I'm so glad that we did! There was no availability for tasting but we ordered a flight and we were so impressed with their Riesling. The grounds and vineyards are gorgeous to walk in and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. This place is definitely worth a visit for its second-to-none wines.

What started as a fun wine tour with a friend ended up being a beautiful learning experience with Heather. Heather is incredibly open to all kinds of discussion about wine and is truly very knowledgeable about the winery and wine itself. She is incredibly passionate about the history, present, and future of all things Herman J Wiemer. Through our tasting experience, I feel connected to Wiemer vineyards and more confident in my palette. As students, my friend and I are incredibly thankful for the wine tasting experience we had today with Heather being our guide through it all. I would like to extend a big thank you to the entire team at Wiemer and highly recommend that anyone and everyone visit the winery!

Wonderful vineyard with a lot of history behind it. Our server was extremely knowledgeable in all the wines and she went above and beyond to provide excellent service and education for us on the history of the vineyard. We're definitely bringing home their signature Riesling!

Excellent service and wonderful wine.The staff was very knowledgeable on the business operation, the wines and customer service.With their guidance we tried several wines and narrowed down our favorites to take home.We hope to come back soon.

I don't know that it is even possible to heap more praise upon HJW. Everything (everything!) - from the winery itself, to the service, on down to the wine - is world class. Our server (I believe it was Juan) was clearly passionate about the wine, and did a phenomenal job of creating the same passion within us as we tasted them. He was an absolute joy. The wine itself was equally incredible. They are the perfect representation of what wine will and should look like in the 21st century. Their biodiverse (ask them about it) wines are second to none in the Finger Lakes, and right up there with anything in the world - Old or New. Their 2020 Cab Franc was the first red that just absolutely blew me away. A beautiful, beautiful wine. Their 2020 Dry Riesling was elevated, as well. In case you're not yet noticing, 2020 was a good year. But their 2019 Flower Day (biodynamic, though not yet officially certified as so) was really the star of the show. A really bright wine with a great depth of flavor and an excellent finish.Again, there is nothing about HJW that is not top notch. Perfect example: at 1030 in the morning on a cold winter day, where he was clearly busy working in the winery, it would have been easy for a member of ownership to simply mind his own business and go about his day. Instead, he not only greeted us, but also came back to our table later on to make sure we were enjoying the experience. It was clear he was doing it not just because be felt it was good business and service, rather that it was out of genuine caring. The fact that this winery also happens to reside in the heart of one of the most beautiful and unique regions in the country is just icing on the cake. Any wine tour of the FLs should absolutely start at Dr. Konstantin Frank and end here. Period.

Fantastic experience! We walked in without reservations, but would recommend making them just in case! We happened to be in the area and I am a huge fan of their biodynamic vineyard Riesling from 2018. They just happened to have it on the menu. The staff was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I even bought myself a little grapevine to take home!!

This was our first visit and it did not disappoint. We did not have a reservation, but were graciously accommodated since it was not busy. Our tasting experience with Juan was fantastic. The wine was great and all in our party agreed this was a favorite. Beautiful facility and we got to see the sheep!

Excellent service from Max and very delicious wines. Really enjoyed asking questions and learning about their vineyards and comparing wines from slightly different areas or with different preparations. Really cool to consider how much a Riesling changes with a bit of aging!

Beautiful winery and an amazing selection of wines.Sadly we reached at 4:30pm and the wine tasting closes at 4pm.We enjoyed a chilled glass of their semi dry Riesling soaking up the calm vibes of their vineyards.Would definitely try to make it back in my next visit to the Finger Lakes region.

Reservations are recommended. They can sometimes accommodate walk-ins. The self guided flight is 4 predetermined wines and average price, but you won't learn about the wines. The other tasting option is guided, and you pay per taste as many you'd like.Outdoors there are picnic tables, geese, and a kitty.

We had a good time. It was well worth the visit. The wines are all very good. It was different than most of our tastings in that there wasn’t really a tasting menu. You buy each by the pour which was fine but definitely ended up pricier than other tastings. Staff was friendly but didn’t talk about the wine at all which was also odd for a tasting. It really just felt more like a wine bar than a tasting room. Not a bad thing just not what we expected.

This place is fantastic! The wine is the best we’ve had in the finger lakes. Their a la carte tasting is perfect. Loved this so much, will gladly come back!

Wonderful tasting experience. Outstanding wines. Thera is an outstanding sommelier.Experience was more than we could have hoped for and we will be back.

Such an amazing experience! We arrived too late for a tasting but wanted to purchase wine anyways. Arrive at/before 3:30 for the last seating! The team we encountered was so helpful picking out wine to purchase and even let us try a couple! They let us take our time and ask lots of questions. Some of the best wine in the area by far! 10/10 recommend!

The parking lot was very full when we drove up, but we had reservations so it didn’t matter. We were seated right away. They do their tastings a little differently - you can request as few or many wines as you want, either a 2.5 oz or a 5 oz pour for yourself or to share. There is a charge for each pour based on the cost of the bottle. The wine server took our order and delivered our wines. Besides checking to see if we needed anything else a couple of times, he didn’t interact with us. No description of the wines or education about the vineyards - he just brought us wine to taste. The wines were very good - lots of Riesling and another half dozen varietals or so.

Wiemer produces some of the best wines across the board in the Finger Lakes - if you are new to the area or visiting, you must start here. Their new tasting room and the way they organize their tastings is very nice, relaxed, and comfortable. We love that they are dog-friendly, too. Wines are outstanding and worth the price.

Spectacular wines and an amazing experience. Some of the best wines I’ve had anywhere, and I’m a huge fan of their biodynamic process of wine making. The space is beautiful and so relaxing. Nancy was our tasting guide - she was phenomenal! So knowledgeable and kind. Sit at one of her tables if you can.

I feel I need to start by saying I am not a white wine drinker. This winery is definitely a must visit. The tastings are not rushed, and you can choose anything they have to offer. Just left with 3 bottles of white wine. Quality products. The staff is very knowledgeable and will help to guide you to find the wines that are best for you. Visit! You will not be disappointed.

We wondered where all the cars were - they are here!! A total of 36 at 2:30PM on a Friday. No surprise after coming here. They have a reservation option but fully accommodated walk-ins. Excellent, unique wines. Purchased a bottle of the 2021 Reisling, 2022 Rose and the 2021 Chardonnay and we are not white wine folks! Staff here were incredibly friendly and inviting despite how busy they were. Rachel was awesome! So many different places to sit and take it all in. If you go anywhere on your wine tour, you will not be disappointed if you stop here.

Wonderful place to relax. Beautiful views, very good wines for every taste and every budget. We come here every year and always enjoy it a lot.

Absolutely love this lake. Would recommend taking the family here. There's near by restaurants.

Nice little pier to sit and have dinner and drinks while overlooking Seneca lake. Visited this during LDW 2020 after finishing Watkins Glen State Park trail. This place is beautiful.

Beautiful Seneca lake in Wakin's Glen! Lots to do in quaint town or nearby with little shops, resturants, state park with waterfalls, hiking, boating, cruises, antiques, wineries, and race track!

A beautiful bike ride up Hwy 14. The hills were gradual and the wineries were about 2 miles apart.

Absolute beauty and serene place to be. A reasonable place to taste wine and take tours if you want. There are lots of wineries so you might end up getting confused which one to choose.

Really quiet awaiting summer racetrack traffic. Pretty & quaint 700ft lake has tourboats, kayak rentals, patio dining, nearby hotel, & Cardboard Regatta entries by June 10. Marina & Bar/restraunt and nearby wine tour pick ups.

Nice place to sit and relax on a beautiful day! Plenty of restaurants to choose from within walking distance.Nice little town with tons of history.

Great place to see Seneca Lake and take pictures in the afternoon as the sun sets over the water. there's a ferry ride you can take as well as several restaurants within walking distance. Watkins Glen State Park which is amazing is only about a mile away. Well worth the visit.

Well known for a reason, the wines were fantastic! Great selection and location as well with plenty of seats and nice views. Food looked good too but unfortunately we had already eaten.

It's our first time to experience guided wine tasting. It was a good experience and the wines taste great. They have a beautiful view of the Seneca lake at vantage point area while drinking wine. We have lake side burger and smoke burger for lunch at Ginny Lee Cafe. The staff are very accommodating. We will surely return with friends.

My wife and I always enjoy this winery and brewery combination. They have an amazing selection of wines that never disappoints.

Nice experience - went for the live music and some tasting.Was a little crowded but not worse than most places with a live band.Tried a couple of different wines; the best was the Riesling.Absolutely gorgeous views of the Sun setting over Seneca Lake.If you’re in the area, make it a stop.

If you’ve had John as your wine sever then you know exactly why I gave 5 stars. He explains the wine very well and tells us the background of the wine and why you might like it and why you might not. I enjoyed this winery very much! Recommend times 100000000!!!

Very nice winery for tastings. Beautiful view of Seneca Lake, lots of choices for wines to taste, a good amount of seating and even a pond to feed fish. It was fairly hot day and the only air conditioned room for sitting was a special room with an extra charge. Otherwise a really enjoyable winery.

This place is both a winery and a brewery, and it is HUGE! Like I seriously got lost even trying to find the outdoor seating for us and our dog, and then again trying to find the bathroom haha. It’s a beautiful building with comfortable seating (and a lot of it), and the views are stunning. As for the beverages… The beer was pretty good and they had a lot of options, but it was nothing special. The wines were just short of “ok” in my opinion. They have a lot of options to pick from, but most of them were too much on the sweet side for my liking, even the wines that are listed as “dry.” And when choosing your flight to taste, their list doesn’t have any flavor profiles or descriptions, so you have to ask a lot of questions to figure out what you want. I would go back, but it wasn’t my favorite.Side note about Seneca lake wine trail in general: Cayuga lake wine trail was our favorite between Cayuga lake and Seneca lake wine trails. It is extremely dog friendly indoors and outdoors, and many of the wineries are right on the lake and close to each other. Seneca lake wine trail was also very dog friendly, but you will run into a couple of places that are not dog friendly indoors. This wine trail was also more in the middle of nowhere, so we definitely preferred Cayuga lake. But overall, we loved both wine trails & would love to visit again!

We had such a great rime at Wagners today. We went early and we were paired with Austin for our tasting. He was so fun and informative And it Was a great experience. The scenery is one of the best to enjoy their wine or beer and we can not wait to go back.

The location is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I chose the Library tasting. I would definitely opt for this again. It was a true education on how time can change the notes in a wine. After the tasting, we popped over to the brewery and partook in a beer flight on their deck. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience, and one of the highlights of our visit to the Finger Lakes region.

This place is amazing. The fact that they do wine flights makes me happy. The view is breathtaking. Looking forward to coming back and getting the beer and ordering food. It's a must visit if you're in the area.

Great place to try brews and wine! Nothing that disappoints at this place! The staff was so nice and kept us all informed on the different drinks.

Beautiful grounds. Flights pre-picked, and you pick options available. Wine and beer sold here. Big gift shop. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating, mostly outdoor.

John was the highlight of our trip to the finger lakes. His wine tasting was fun and I learned so much. He gave us the history behind wine and grapes and was a wonderful storyteller. The wines were great and I would come back to the area just to get another tasting lesson from him. This location wouldn’t be as great without him. Hopefully we can reserve John as a tour guide and take him around the lakes next time. Absolutely wonderful

Stefan was amazing! Gave us the best advice on a sour to take home to the hubby. The wine tasting was great and we loved the semi-dry Gewurztraminer!

This was our first stop in the Finger Lakes - we loved it, and it definitely held up after being at others. We loved their Melody wine, and ate lunch at Ginny's Cafe and were super impressed there. Beautiful patio, the food was perfect (my wife got a salad and I had an open-faced Turkey sandwich) and the service was great.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Wagner Winery, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment Debbie and I stepped foot onto the picturesque vineyard, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the rolling hills covered in lush grapevines. The winery's ambiance was elegant and inviting, creating the perfect setting to indulge in their exquisite selection of wines. Each sip was a journey of flavors, showcasing the winemaker's expertise and dedication to crafting exceptional wines. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, providing insightful recommendations and sharing fascinating stories about the winemaking process. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just starting to explore the world of wines, this winery offers an unforgettable experience that will leave you craving more.John at the tasting bar is a true gem when it comes to his knowledge and expertise in the realm of wine and history. As soon as we sat at the bar, we knew we were in the presence of a master. His passion for wine was palpable as he effortlessly guided us through the wine tasting list, offering detailed descriptions and fascinating anecdotes about each bottle/grape varietal selected. His depth of knowledge extended far beyond the flavors and regions; he seamlessly weaved in historical context, bringing each wine to life with captivating stories that enhanced my appreciation for them. John's ability to recommend the perfect wine based on our preferences was uncanny, and we were consistently delighted with his selections. Not only did he enhance my understanding of wine, but he also broadened my horizons by introducing me to unique and lesser-known varieties. If you're looking for an unforgettable wine experience that combines expertise, passion, and a touch of history, John at the tasting bar is an absolute must-visit… plus he personalized our book! A++

This started off awkwardly because when you walk in you are in a gift shop and the way to the wine tasting area isn’t clearly identified. A woman managing the register asked us if we wanted a tasting, and then told us where to go. What she failed to tell us was that we had to pay for the tasting with her first, so when we went to the tasting area the guy had to send us back to the front where we just came from.The tasting itself was great! We were the only ones there on a Sunday, so the guy (can’t remember his name) was really able to spend time with us and educate us on how weather affects each year’s wines. We ultimately really enjoyed ourselves once we figured out how to navigate the place!We would have also bought some beer from the cooler on our way out, but the IPAs were from October and it was now April.

Had a great experience, tested wine flights and a beer flight. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. discussed wines and beers great overall experience.

This place was recommended to us by many visitors and locals. The wine was good and the views were beautiful. Definitely worth a stop. They also have a lot of beer options for those that are less interested in wine.

We had the MOSt amazing day! We did a wine tasting and met an incredible man named John Pulos. John was out tasting guide but shared his amazing knowledge of wine along with his unequaled knowledge of the Titanic,If you ever have a chance to go to meet him....I recommend you do! Thanks for an amazing wine tasting education and a journey legendary story!!

The expansive views, picnic tables abound on the Winery yineyards. The patio with the beer and wine sampling (for a small purchase price) had amazing views. Very knowledgeable staff. Purchased the Cross Section IPA, which won Gold in the NYS craft beer tasting. Nice gift shop. We didn't eat at the Cafe, but it had many smiling patrons leaving.Flights, of 4 good size samplings was just $8.00. We had the Fall Harvest. Such a nice afternoon.

The entire Wagner winery/Cafe/brewery had been a treat for us for the 4 decades since Bill Wagner opened the octagon. We've spent some of our best summer days here especially when our (millennial) kids were growing up. Lots of lush outdoor space, world class view of the vineyard and lake, pristinely kept grounds. Food in the Ginny Lee is consistently good to excellent. I am more a beer person than a wine person and enjoy the great brews and deck outside the brewery. Everyone is friendly. It's been a while since I've visited and now in July 2023 is wonderful to see that the family has kept the place moving in the same direction now that the founder has passed. This place is among New York's gems.

I've been coming up to Seneca lake every year for a few years now and found Wagner's a couple of years ago. I just got back from the area and now my 3rd time at Wagner's. Before that I was only hitting the winery's/vineyards on the other side of the lake. This has become my favorite place and my favorite wine in the area. Another of my favorite things is the tastings here and that is due to John Pulos the best server in the Seneca lake area. He doesn't just pour wine and walk away or stand there for a few seconds telling to the "background notes" you should be tasting or hints of certain fruits etc. (which I never taste anyway). He actually explains in great detail how the grapes are grown and the history of how they got here, how the weather in the area effects the grapes, he has maps of France and where certain grapes originated, their DNA and even the origins and meanings of certain common wine names... and much more. The detail is amazing and educational. Of course everyone has different tastes and wine tasting is very subjective but for me the wine here is great. More than that though is the place itself and of course John. I also have to mention the Ginny Lee cafe also on the property. We eat there on our visits and the food as well as service is great, not to mention the spectacular views.

Fantastic wine, definitely one of the best wineries in the Finger Lakes (check out their Dry Riesling and Gewurztraminer). Reservations strongly encouraged as the indoor serving space isn't massive, but extremely well maintained.The property has an incredible view of the lake, and ample lawn and seating space. My only complaint is that the paint on the facade of the building is chipped / damaged, and has been so for the last 2 years that I have been visiting. It doesn't affect the wine at all, but it is slightly off-putting as it is the first thing that guests see upon entery

Went here last week for a tasting. Many different options to choose from and our server was very knowledgeable of what wines we might like. Really like the dry rosé and the dessert riesling. The grounds are really nice and beautiful views of Seneca Lake right out the windows. if you’re near Seneca Lake or Watkins Glen I had the recommend stopping here for a tasting or grabbing some wine.

This is our favorite winery in the finger lakes! We come back every year, and stock up on all of Lamoreaux wines. We have been to almost all of the wineries & this is continuously in our #1 spot. Everyone is always so friendly and the view is amazing. They recently added a cheeseboard, which is a nice touch as well! You cannot beat the case club benefits either. We love it here!

This place starts off with a beautiful entrance. We should have tried to make a reservation, but our wait wasn't long. The staff was very knowledgeable and loved talking about the wine.

We have been members of LL for quite a few years now. The wines are still drinking beautifully but it is a shame to see that the upkeep of the winery is deteriorating. Peeling paint on the facade, rusty pipes in the bathrooms. Still overall very clean. But with such a beautiful venue, I would highly advise the operations manager to spruce it up a little. That said, we remain loyal customers and fans of LL. ♥️

Had an excellent experience with a party of 5 last weekend. We had a reservation, and inclement weather meant that the lovely indoor setting was not crowded while we enjoyed our tasting. Maura provided excellent tasting recommendations, and her information about the wine growing and making process was interesting to all of us. She went above and beyond to answer our questions!

We have been here multiple times and always enjoyed our visit. Most recently Claudia provided outstanding service for our tasting which led to us buying another case to enjoy at home. We visited during a heat wave and the tasting room was nice and cool. Can't wait to go back!

We stopped in early and there was only one other couple there. A gentleman named Ford, like the car not the Chevy, helped us and he was great. He provided us with the information we needed for the wines we went on to purchase. The atmosphere was relaxed with the reservation system versus first come, first serve. It was our second time visiting this winery and there will be a third.

Very nice service, and knowledgeable about wine as well. We (a group of 6) particularly want to shout out to Jack, who provided the best wine testing experience to us. We had a great time, and really enjoy the wines and of course ordered 4 cases with free shipping home! 👍😊

Lamoreaux Landing has some of the best wines in the finger lakes, hands down. I work at a winery on Cayuga lake and I’m always recommending people to come here for both the wine and the great service. Their dry whites are all so smooth, very light and refreshing. The Grüner Veltliner, Rieslings, Reserve Chardonnay, and semi-dry Gewurztraminer are amongst my faves! I came in yesterday with a friend who doesn’t normally like wine and she even loved all of the wines she had. Our server, Silas, was very knowledgeable and friendly which definitely made the tasting more enjoyable. I always enjoy my tasting experience every time I come in.

One of my favorite wineries to visit.Great balance of good whites, reds and other varietals of wine.I try to always stop in.Heard there is a remodel coming soon to the main serving area. I am excited to see how that goes.Always such a wonderful experience when I visit here.

100% solar powered Lamoreaux Landing is a delightful and unpretentious experience overlooking Seneca Lake. It can be a touch windy outside but they have both indoor and outdoor wine enjoying spaces. The Rosé is a particular standout and worth taking home. Flavorful without being overt. Quite good.Rich wooden interior with nice seating spaces, plenty of affordable wine on display, bits and bites if you’re hungry, and very personable staff all round out the experience.Take note of the signs and respect their party size limit.Relatively limited parking so if it’s exceptionally busy you might need to be creative.

We have been to this winery 2x times before. We walked in at 4:40 on a Friday to be turned away! On the website states 5pm.. I have worked in resturant business liquor for years. You state rhe time you serve the costumers. You just turned away costumers who always buy 3 more bottles. It was our daughters graduation from Keuka on top of it. We won't be back or buy your wine again!!!!! You may want to think about changing the time on website and stating it different so customers can go other places. Bad customer service ans business sorry for you.

This was a beautiful facility, and the first place where we experienced a proper wine tasting. Up until we came here, we were just given wine flights everywhere and left on our own. Finally we had someone explaining the wines to us. It was also the only place we visited that provided water and a bucket so that we could rinse our glasses or choose not to finish our glass. We visited 4 other wineries after this one, and it was a long day of feeling like we had to drink every single thing we tasted. Thank you for doing it right!

Last August, we visited Lamoreaux Landing. We very much enjoyed the outdoor tasting setting, instead of being cramped around the bar. Everyone was extremely helpful in choosing our case to take home. I just ordered another case effortlessly. We will continue to be part of their case club, and hope to visit again in the very near future. Thanks for everything!! 🍷

Staff is great. The best ice wine I have ever tried!! George (if I don’t recall your name sorry), took good care of us we really loved them. Although the Garden is neat, We decided to do the indoor tasting- they provided an excellent experience, especially to my friend that tried ice wine for the first time. Dog friendly- Goku enjoyed a few treats as well. And yes, I bought a bottle.

This is one of our favorite wineries on Seneca Lake. Their Reisling is amazing. The service was professional and personable. We brought home several bottles to share on special occasions. We highly recommend this winery.

Views are gorgeous. Wine was of good quality. The staff is friendly. However, I do feel there are better winery options available in the area.

We accidentally stumbled on this winery while driving around Seneca lake . Beautiful facilities and views . The wines were okay . What bothered us is that they kept pouring different wines in the same glass !

This is a beautiful location, and the staff is super nice. The rieslings are Top Notch and the view is wonderful. Definitely a place to visit :-)

In my opinion, this winery has some of the best Chardonnay on the lake. We’ve been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. In fact, we make sure to always visit. Their Rieslings and gewürztraminers are also very good and may rival some higher end wineries on the west shore…

Loved how the staff interacted with us. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Gave us recommendations to different wineries in the area. Dog friendly. Would recommend. Bought 3 bottles of wine.

Gorgeous trails, mildly manicured, easy to follow and near more wild trails if desired. Stunning foliage and waterfalls aplenty. Scenic areas easily accessible from each parking lot. I went from the main entrance/lower park onto the rim trail to upper park, which had the most gorgeous view of the tallest waterfall and stone paths near the end; then, back down via the gorge trail, which I think looking at the elevation maps (roughly accurate on the trailside) is the way to go (more up and down going there, then mostly down on the way back). Moderate difficulty hike. One water bottle was enough for me going light on a cool day. Chipmunks, squirrels present. Friday afternoon saw other hikers every 5-10 minutes or so.

Incredible hike on the gorge to rim trail. We arrived around 10am and was surprised with ample parking by the swimming area. Brought the kids for a strenuous hike for a 3 and 5 year old but they did it. Between 5-6miles round trip with over 900’ elevation gain, most of which is a couple clusters of 70 to 100 steps at a time or so. Certainly a challenge for most but the payoff at the large falls is worth it. Huge falls, unique rock patterns, wild flowers, rock bridges, just incredible. Highly recommend for the $9 admission (which also works at the other near by state parks) and wish we would have brought bathing suits to take a swim at the end! Side note, there is no swimming allowed on the river section, only designated area. When we finished around 1pm it was quite crowded in the parking and swimming areas in early August.

Return visit while up in the Ithaca Area. This is a beautiful park! There is camping, swimming, and beautiful hiking with gorgeous waterfalls. Trails are well groomed. I recommend parking by the park office and setting off on the gorge trail for return via the rim trail. This keeps the heaviest elevation as downhill climbs versus uphill. The gorge trail trailhead is just to the left of the park office. Leave your swimming stuff in the car and hit swimming after your hike as a great cool down. Fossil hunters will find some pretty nifty fossils along the rock walls just beware that snakes also love these rock walls so caution is always necessary in natural places. The waterfalls run year round and are so pretty. Campground here was very comfortable. Make the time to see it...its worth it. Total out and back is about 5 miles.

I would wait to attend this park until after the trails are open. However, it was cool to see the snow spring meltdown today. I usually go in the summer when it is crowded. A lot of people go swimming in a water hole that has a diving board. The trails are shaded. There is definitely some elevation change, but the views are fantastic. I suggest you do not go wading in the stream off trail because my cousin and I did that, and we were COVERED IN HUNDREDS OF TINY LEECHES!!! Our fault for not following the rules. We did not get leeches in the regulated swimming hole, so that's safe.

Amazing park for one whole day. Beautiful trails (we did 3,4 km in one way and back 3,6 km). There where few spots were you can take a break near river. The Lucifer Falls are heartbreaking. In the end of our hiking we were swimming and jumping in clear, fresh and cold water). Here you can find also playground for kids, tabels for picnic, small cabins for staying few days. Highly recommend!!!

Definitely pack some good walking/hiking shoes but the trip down into the gorge is fabulous! The waterfalls are nothing short of spectacular! There were nice grassy areas for picnicking and relaxing as well near the old mill and the mill itself is an interesting place to explore.

Prior to staying at Robert Treman State Park I couldn’t find many reviews about the cabins, so I’d figured I’d post one. For about $80/night we were very impressed with our cabin! They seem updated and were very clean. Ours had 2 twin beds and a twin bunk. There was also a little desk and storage areas. There was a ceiling fan, baseboard heating, and a full size fridge/freezer. The porch included a bench as well as a broom. You also get a picnic table as well as a fire pit and a space for grilling with charcoal. For the most part the cabins are pretty spread out. They do have wagons so you can bring your belongings to the cabin (most aren’t accessible via car). We went the week after Labor Day and we were one of 3 families in the cabins, it was so nice and quiet! When you stay in the cabins you are extremely close to the rim trail and the swimming entrance. The only part we wish was a little better was with the bathrooms. You are close to a small bathroom with 2 sinks and A few toilets, but if there was already someone in there using the sink it was hard to also wash up. The bathroom with showers and a larger sink for dishes was about a 0.3. Mile walk, which isn’t a huge deal, but at night in a somewhat empty park it felt long. You can drive there as there are spots out front, and that seems to be what most people do. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The park itself is beautiful. We will be back for sure!

The campsites here in the center meadow are quite spacious and easy to get in and out of. The ones in the wooded loop not so much. They are better suited for tents.⛺ I'm not quite sure why they don't have power yet in the center section. The main power ⚡poles run right through the center of the meadow and of course there's power at the bathhouse. They have the stub outs for the power⚡ at each of the sites but nothing installed yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️This is the best hiking ⛰️🥾 I've ever done!🚶🏻‍♂️The gorge trail and the rim trail are spectacular the entire length! 🤩Hike from the campground up to the mill and back. The mill is a tremendous engineering ⚙️feat. It's a museum. Walk around and read and learn.👨🏻‍🏫These trails are so well engineered and constructed🚧👷🏻‍♂️.They use asphalt and bricks and stones and wood and cement and really build and maintain their trails! Yes some parts are natural rustic like you would expect, but there are parts that are magnificently engineered, specifically all the steps. And there are a lot of those!I took more than 50 pictures. 🫢So I can't post everything. It's just spectacular 🤩🤩🤩

Wonderful nature scene! Worth to visit. Best scenes are upper part of the trails. If you don't want long walk, go to the upper park lot and walk down the stairs and return along the water. Be minded: water temperature is about 65=70F in summer, kind of chill to swim.

My friend and I visited in early June. We first stopped at the lower falls, took the gorge trail up to Lucifer falls and were not disappointed. The foliage was lush from rain and the trails were very well maintained. Note that this IS a challenging 2 miles with a good amount of elevation change. The views of Lucifer falls at the end of the trail are worth the hike.

Love love loved it!!!! Such amazing trails and waterfalls. Les at the visitors center COULD NOT have been nicer! Thank you for a great afternoon Robert H Treman State Park!

Breathtaking. We visit here every time we are in the area to take the main trail to the large falls. We do this sometimes several times a year. It never gets old and has something to offer every season. Every corner you turn takes your breath away. A lot of steps, and so consider this a moderate hike and a decent workout, especially the up climb. It is sometimes slippery, make sure you wear good footwear. Some people go off trail and even swim in the creek below the main falls in summer time. Bring your water shoes!

What a wonderful experience in this state park!! We wished to see Lucifer falls and used the Upper entrance for parking and to start the hike. We used the rim trail on our onward journey and the gorge trail while returning, which was an amazing decision. Both the trails have a lot of stairs but the step size on the Gorge trail was smaller and so much easier to climb up compared to those on the Rim trail. You have an option to shift to the gorge trail via a bridge half way through the trail, right after Lucifer falls. We went on a Friday evening and we were the only 2 people on both trails, imagine having this wonderful park all to yourselves. We saw 4-5 waterfalls in total and they were all so beautiful! Love this park.. and highly recommend a visit to it!

Great park and amazing falls. We went there after Buttermilk fall State Park. The Lower fall is really close to the parking lot. We drive to another entrance instead of hiking. The upper entrance to the Lucifer Fall is short distance, too. Need to climb. Great view.

Robert H. Treman State Park, situated in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, is a stunning destination that offers a unique experience. The walk from the parking area to the Lower Falls is about five minutes, making it easily accessible. The views from the park are breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains framing the pond with the impressive Lower Falls cascading down. There is a $9 parking fee to enter the park. The scenery is truly speechless and makes for an unforgettable visit. Of you are seeking to enjoy the natural beauty, Robert H. Treman State Park is a must-see.

The waterfalls are beautiful in any session. The climb up the stairs from the gorge trail to the rim trail is challenging but worth the view during the fall. Let's keep our parks beautiful for future generations and carry out any trash you bring in and stay on the designated pathways.

Amazing park. If you don’t have too much time hiking, the best way to do is to park at the Upper Entrance. You can just do portion trails of Rim and Gorge by connecting a bridge. You can start from the Rim trail to watch the front of the Lucifer Falls, then you can take the Cliffs Staircase down. Using the Bridge to connect the Gorge Trail getting back to the parking lot.Doing the entire trails for both Rim and Gorge isn’t really much fun, as there aren’t much more to see. The beautiful parts are already in the upper side.The Lower Falls is very close from the Main Entrance which you can swim. It is better to drive from the Upper Entrance rather take the trails.

A series of beautiful waterfalls accompany the gorge trail. Lots of great settings for pictures. We brought our collie along, but, at 9yo, it may have been a bit much.

This is the trail of trails. For the unique experience of experiencing all levels of scenery, start your trek at the bottom of the trail. From there, you experience the challenge of the trail, the sights and sounds of forests, and the grand finale of Lucifer falls. This trail is truly a hidden gem that one must experience in its entirety.

Came here for a weekend camping trip with our Boy Scout troop. Had a great time, campsites are a good size but we did dun into a problem with getting tent stakes in the ground. We were at 26, 28 & 30 and found some of our tent stakes didn't go into the ground very well. Luckily I had extra stakes that worked great for our tent. My advice would be to get heavier stakes for these sites. Bonus about our sites, they were right across from the bathrooms! This is a beautiful place to camp and hike. I will definitely be going back, but will make it a longer trip. I've included a picture of the stakes we used for one of the tents.

Just hiked from the top parking area to the lower parking lot. Was a decent hike, but several spots were narrow for 2 way travel. Also hiked with our 3 dogs. And passed several others hiking with their pups. We had a significant amount of ticks on our pups. I hope your dogs are properly treated. 15 plus off 1 dog.There are some great views along the walk.

Robert H. Treman State Park is a spectacular place. Make sure to hike the gorge trail that follows the Enfield Creek into the Enfield Glen and ends with the Lucifer Falls waterfall. The hike along the Gorge Trail is mostly shaded with good views along the creek. If you want you can take the rim trail back. The Rim Trail is not as scenic, but does have a few nice spots. Both trails form a loop around Lucifer Falls; the best part of the hike.This hike is fairly long and there are many stairs, so be prepared. There is signage and milage markers to help you along the way. Bring plenty of water. Expect some crowds of people near the falls.If you don't want to do all of the hiking you can simply park in the upper parking lot found on Upper Robert H Treman Park Road. This allows for a quick walk out to the falls. From this point you are also free to walk the trails in reverse.The swimming area is very nice, complete with another waterfall. In the swimming area there are places to picnic or simply relax. As nice as it is it is not very large.There are tent sites, camper sites, and cabins to camp in the campground. You should reserve a site ahead of time if interested in camping. Some of the campsites others are shaded others are in an open field.The best of part of the park is definitely the gorge hike, but there are other things to do here. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plan to make a day out of it.Ithaca is Gorges!

Cloudy day but we went early and during the week ran into only one set of hikers was amazing

Very lovely area with good amenities. Considering this is camping, the bathrooms and shower rooms are very clean. Staff was kind and informative. Camping here also gives you free access and free parking at all state parks in New York for your stay duration. Only downside is that some sites were very rocky and not the flattest.

Great place to camp and hike. Large sites. It would be better with electricity though. Washrooms are outdated a bit. One day out of 4 we didn't have hot water.Park office was friendly. Water and dump station was clean.Hiking is great. We did a 10k loop on Gorge trail. Waterfalls are spectacular. Tons of stairs and elevation up and down. Dogs allowed.The swimming area was closed in May due to maintenance. I'll be back to try that later in the summer.

One of the prettiest places I have ever hiked. So many pretty waterfalls!! Definitely a strenuous trek so make sure you eat and wear proper hiking gear. A lot of stairs but not a long hike so it evens out. Wish I hadn’t forgotten my water shoes. We also saw a snake and a bunch of other animals like chipmunks and deer. The large waterfall is breathtaking and worth the stairs :). Make sure you bring water 💧.

Did the full version of the gorge trail and rim trail loop. A more efficient version would be starting from the upper entrance, descending all the stairs of the rim trail to the bottom of the falls, then crossing the bridge to the gorge trail, and coming back to the parking lot from the gorge trail, this loop is about one mile. Then drive to the lower entrance to see the lower falls. The falls were beautiful.

The staffs here are nice 💯, the bathroom 🚿🪥🚽🛁is clean. No entrance ticket needed if you are campers in one of the New York State Parks. Hot spot for swimming 🌊🏊 and hiking 🥾.

As beautiful as Watkins Glen, a bit more challenging but way less people. We recommend the Gorge Trail up (all the way to the top, if you turn back at the bridge you'll miss some really beautiful parts of the park). The Rim trail down was less dramatic but beautiful in it's own way.

Breathtaking so beautiful it was a good hike I started at the upper falls when I finished you end up at the parking lot of the lower falls where the swimming and cabins are but there’s really no signs or directions to tell you where to go so you can see the Lucifer falls or back to my car . So I asked a couple that I saw by the cabins. There are still falls but it’s beautiful still you can either cross the bridge back to the gorge side or continue up lots and lots of steps but we’ll worth the beautiful hike . Walking stick helps and water

My absolute favorite place to hike. The stairs are certainly difficult, but for the views it is unbelievably worth it.

You can park your vehicle at either the lower entrance by the park office or the upper entrance (old mill parking area). Treman State Park, with its stunning vistas and water features, was one of my favorite visits on a fall day October 31st. Around the midpoint, there are some very steep steps (but well maintained). Lots of helpful stick-figure signage shows your progress along the way and what to expect ahead as far as ascending or descending. The gorge trail is about 2 miles (3.3km) each way. Total ascent is 724 feet (221m). Lucifer Falls is breath-taking. So glad my group went on this moderate hike.

This place was beautiful! Great views and well-kept trails. Lots of steps. If you're pressed for time park at the upper gorge area and hike the 2 mile loop to Lucifer Falls , that's definitely your best views. I came at the end of November. It would be so much fun to come here in the summer and swim! Some of the other gorges in the area had sections that were fully closed through the whole winter. I was very happy this one was open.

We went camping here and was really excited for this park, unfortunately do to rain prior days the swimming area was closed. Our site itself was small and the grass needed to be cut. Our electric shared a box with the site behind us but the box was on our site. The water was also on our site and on the back end of it not by the road like most parks, so we constantly had people walking through our site. The camping area of the park seemed neglected, building needed cleaning and grounds needed to be tended to. The park itself has lots of hiking trails. We did notice tons of non campers in campgrounds for the hiking, The staff I spoke to(just during check in) was not very friendly and even tried to tell me my 5th wheel was a 3rd vehicle. We won't be coming back, the waterfall swimming area is beautiful but not enough to make us want to camp here again

What a beautiful and well maintained park! $9 entry fee and they take credit cards and use a handy no-contact machine. Restrooms are within walking distance to the parking lot. We went after Labor Day so the swimming ‘hole’ isn’t open, but when you walk up to it there is a beautiful spot for taking pictures of the end of the waterfall. We only took the gorge trail so I can’t speak to other trails, but this one you definitely have to be ready to climb stairs-and a LOT of them. If you have young kids, def bring a back pack to carry them in. There are also spots where the trail is flat, but usually that’s where there is no fence so you have to ensure kids are on the inside of the trail as not much room and an easy slip and fall down the cliff. Nonetheless this was worth it and beautiful!! It kept getting better the higher we hiked. Gorge trail has 2 spots that you can easily wade/walk in to cool off. There are no restrooms on the trail. Be aware, especially if bringing kids who may not be able to hold it. Unlike Watkins Glen, all trails are dog friendly!!

A must visit place. Buttermilk is actually seen a melting butter milk from the mountains. This state park is good for trailing/ hiking. Suggested to wear water proof or non-slippery footwear. You can also go in the water to enjoy the waterfall. Ahead of climbing the mountain stairs or trail there are washrooms, fir stair safety rooms, picnic area and camping area. Please watch the full video in my channel in YouTube, Instagram and TikTok for the best experience. The place is kids friendly with adult assistance all the time and pet friendly as well. Entry ticket is $10 and closed during winters.

A must if you enjoy nature and hikes. The Gorge Trail to Bear Trail and returning on the Rim Trail provides you some spectacular views and tranquil moments. A bit more crowded than I would prefer but still worth the visit.

Beautiful waterfalls and surrounding foliage. Be prepared for a good exercise walking the steps and pathways following the gorge to the crossover bridge. There are very good restroom facilities at the main entrance and large picnic benches. 9.00 for the car to park covers the entrance fee. Seniors of NY get in free.

This hike is a gem but it is a climb. Its alot of stairs and mostly uphill. Allow yourself the time to go slow and take it all in...its absolutely stunning. Many dogs out this morning and good wading/ swimming for furry friends. Buttermilk is a fantastic place to marvel at amazing potholes for all of those who are geology buffs. The falls just go on and on and on...water was running well and lighting was perfect around 8a. Crowds filtering in as we left at 9:30. Nature is alive with wonder here. Be mindful of poison ivy on trails edges.

Very accessible hike to see many wonderful waterfalls. We came in November and although it's cold, but it's not so cold that we couldn't enjoy the hike and the views. It's actually very nice to come when there were less visitors.

Beautiful quick stop (1-2 hours) while driving upstate NY. Things to carry :1. Wear your swimsuit if you plan to go in the water2. Good shoes it’s a moderate hike3. WaterFor the hike, go up Gorge trail (moderate hike) beautiful spots to take pictures along the way. There are multiple small natural pools (not sure if it is allowed to swim in, there were people going in. Would recommend checking first if you plan to do so).Come down Rim trail, don’t have views of the waterfall but the entire trail is covered with trees very soothing and calming.

A must visit if you are in the Ithaca, New York area! Buttermilk Falls State Park has a fantastic set of trails that stay close to the waterfall cascades and gorges. There are two areas for parking (upper and lower lots). There are many stairs, so proper footwear is needed. Swimming is permitted at the bottom, but please don't be one of those people who try to swim in the gorges or other non permitted areas.

Within minutes of leaving your car, you face the first grand, wide waterfall. But as you hike higher, around each bend is yet another stunning waterfall or series of gushing currents. The even stairs (sometimes steep) and vertical cliffs feel like a scene out of "Lord of the Rings". As a moderately challenging hike, it took my group about one hour & 20 minutes (1h20m) to do the loop trail (both the gorge trail & rim trail). Truly spectacular!

Went for the hike not the swimming...So we decided to start at the bottom and take the Gorge Trail to the Dam and then come via the Rim Trail. The trip was a success, but wow that first climb is not to be trifled with. Now provided you're up for the climb the view is amazing and so much better than the bit you see from the swimming area.The return trip isn't filled with the same views of the gorge, but it has its own niceness so happy we did it.Suggestion to anyone planning to go, try to start as soon as they open if you really want to see it.

Great location, loads of picture worthy views. Loads of waterfalls. I parked in the upper lot of the park and took the bear trail down and the gorge trail back. The bear trail was an easy walk down hill, the gorge trail was all uphill and there are steps that take you right alongside the water and waterfalls. If you park at the lower parking lot of the park, the main buttermilk falls are only steps away and do not require any "hiking".

Beautiful waterfall. Yes you can swim but only on the lower part. Swimming start July 1 because on June they need to clean some part of the waterfall. The parking is 9 dollars. You can bring your dogs but are not allowed in the water. Also, there are a lot of stairs, be prepared to do legs when you go.

Beautiful walk up the side of the waterfall. Lots of steps so wear good shoes.If you start at the bottom and walk up it, you experience the falls in front as you go. The easier option is to start the loop trail at the parking lot and then go down the steps. You will just have to turn around as you go to view the falls.

Well-maintained park!Restrooms were clean. Water fountain. Playground. Picnic benches scattered around.Just a short walk from the parking lot and you can see the falls.The hike is pretty steep and strenuous. Tons of stairs.Call ahead to make sure the trail is open!Your parking ticket can be used all day at any NY state park so plan to make a day of it.

The park is kept very clean. Prepare to pay $9 for parking if the Buttermilk Falls State Park is the first park where you're paying for parking on that day. There's a discount if you already paid a parking fee at a different state park. If up to it, make sure to follow the trail all the way up the gorge. It's breathtaking. Literally.Just so you know, swimming is allowed between certain times and at certain spots.

Unfortunately when we went the waterfall was very sparse I am sure come spring when it's full it is absolutely beautiful. To get up to the waterfall itself takes many many stairs. I couldn't make it all the way to the top I only made it to the middle because it took so much.

Went to Upper Buttermilk Falls and it was a great hike! A little challenging on one path because there was multiple trees that fell down blocking the path so I had to maneuver over or under to keep going. Just be careful with what days you come because it may be muddy, trees blocking paths, or water could be covering over like the bridges. Parking does cost $9 but it takes cash or card.

This is a beautiful cascading waterfall with trails on both sides that are 3/4 mile long in each direction, total hike would be 1.6 miles. The Gorge Trail is more strenuous with approximately 675 steps with numerous excellent overlooks of the falls, the Rim Trail is gravel with no steps but not as good views of the falls. The entrance at the bottom of the falls is not clearly marked and easy to miss the turnoff into the park. Cost is $9 to park. I highly recommend visiting these falls, well worth the effort.

The Gorge trail here is a perfect place, if you can make the climb up!I’d love this hike!You need comport shoes, good mood and a lot of snacks 🥙

I love these falls. It's worth the trip if you're into waterfalls. They are fantastic, lots of features and mesmerizing to listen to and watch. The trail is well kept, easy, and wide through most of it, although there was some recent damage that wasn't repaired yet.

There’s beautiful natural pools along the hike. I just wish I could’ve swim in them. The park ranger told us and a couple other people that the river is a protected area and could not swim on them but could only swim on the big pool on the very bottom.

So close to Ithaca and Cornell that you could nearly walk here. Get here first half of the day for parking. Anything in the afternoon on the weekend and you will be fighting for a spot. The park itself is gorgeous - be prepared for trails that climb significantly. The views and the scenery itself become the reward. Beautiful park to visit in the summer. And the kids loved the little swimming hole at the bottom of the falls.

A beautiful state park with a gorgeous waterfall right at the start of an equally gorgeous gorge trail. Definitely a good bang for your buck if you like waterfalls. Exceptionally beautiful during peak autumn. Lots of visitors in late October though, so plan for alternative parking.

The falls were just an amazing site to take in. The first falls you see from the parking lot are just touching what is hidden in the woods.The hike is one of the nicer hikes I've taken in a while. It has its difficult parts depending on if you take the trail or the steps. There are many more spectacular views of falls and water cutting features in the rock formations.I walked with my 2 dogs, so yes, dog friendly just keep a eye on them as they just wanted to swim and there are several locations they could but just as quick they could get caught in rock joint or slip on a formation and bad things can happen quickly, so keep them close.Restrooms were clean, and the grassy area around the restrooms was a great resting area for your pups.Just beware of the ticks. Found about 8-10 on my one dog and 2 on the other. Yes, you're in a wooded area, so one should be prepared to check for ticks.

Gorgeous and stunning on a sunny day. Apparently a lot more water than 2 years ago during the drought. Sometimes steep/slippery at times but the gorge and cascades higher up are worth a visit!

Very scenic up the gorge trail. Plenty of waterfalls. 9$ entry and clean bathrooms. Great for an hour or two activity.

I loved it ! It's a big old hike up the hill to get to the upper gorge and I wouldn't recommend for anyone that's not used to hiking as it is very taxing going up but I found going down much harder! Beautiful scenery and leaves you in awe at the beauty of creation. Swimming area at lower gorge Robert treman Park but if the water is low it's not as fun. Love going here. So lucky to have this in our backyard !

A beautiful state park right off Elmira Rd in Ithaca. Parking is not covered by our tax dollars though, it is $9. The rim trail is right off the parking lot, the gorge trail is across the creek, follow the footbridge. Google maps has both trail maps if you zoom in while at the park. There are five falls that can be seen from the gorge trail. However, there are many trip hazards and not much protection from falling - be careful and enjoy!

Stumbled upon this place and we are glad we did! Every fall was absolutely stunning. The more you walk the more beautiful the falls get. Truly breathtaking in every way. This is a place you will never get bored off. Will have to revisit in different seasons to make the most of this natural beauty hotspot.

take the gorge trail! Its absolutely beautiful and so worth it! multiple cascades of waterfalls the entire length of the trail! just as pretty as watkins glen if you ask me!

Great hiking! Little slippery and definitely some up hill climbs but kids can make it. Lots of parking and not too crowded even on a holiday weekend. Worth a visit if you are in Ithaca area.

After Gorge Trail in Watkins Glen State Park (more than 800 steps to climb over 2 miles, seeing 19 waterfalls), the idea of doing another steep waterfalls hike that involved climbing 675 steps did not appeal to me. I opted to forego that hike and just took pics of the falls by the swimming area which is just a short walk from the parking lot and is quite lovely. My husband and son did the hike and said the views were outstanding so if you’re not a big baby like me you might want to check it out. 😎

Beautiful trail alongside the falls. Lots of steps and steep incline in spots. Not an easy hike uphill.

Visiting Buttermilk Waterfall was an absolute delight! The serene atmosphere combined with the picturesque beauty of the cascading water made for a refreshing escape from city life. The hike to the waterfall was manageable, and the view at the end was definitely worth it. A perfect spot for nature lovers and anyone seeking tranquility. Highly recommended!

It's pretty fun if you go with your family, with long hikes and nice scenery. However, the maps aren't very helpful—we got lost several times in the park. After leaving the Gorge Trail to reach the bridge area, we accidentally took a dead-end route and had to backtrack. It turned out to be a circular path leading back to one of the parking spots, possibly the 'Bear Route,' which isn't worth taking unless you want to walk a lot more or enjoy seeing trees and nature.Also, all the trails have a lot of bugs and are very slippery, so wear shoes with good traction.Tip: Start with the Gorge Trail, head down, and then go on the Rim Trail. Going down the Rim Trail from the top was a nightmare.I didn't get to go on the Lake Treman Trail due to lack of time, but it seems pretty nice according to reviews.

Did the gorge trail and rim trail loop. The gorge trail was beautiful with waterfalls and rocks. Although the distance is pretty short, less than a mile in length, the elevation from the bottom to the top is about 900 feet, stair steps all the way up. The rim trail was just descending from the top to the bottom without any good views, but was effortless.

Beautiful waterfall and sunny day! Great experience. The hike is a little steep though!

Our family visits here every year. We love the SAFE splash zones, the hike, and nature surrounding the park.The park is often under construction. There are many waterfalls and gorges to see in Ithaca!Warning: One year there were EMT’s looking for a boy, he decided to ignore the do not jump signs and ended up breaking his neck. PLEASE, head the signs warnings!!!

Highly recommend!!! Breathtaking views throughout entire hike. One beautiful waterfall after another. Seemed like a new waterfall every 10 steps.

If you love hiking, I recommend this site. You will not feel the steep hike because the views are mesmerizing. They have bathrooms and are pet friendly as well.

This was a really great walk. We did the loop left to right (clockwise) and felt it was a way to go. It was a very hot and humid August morning. Definitely worked up a sweat but did most of our incline right away and then came down the glen side which was beautiful.

The gorge trail hike was very nice. A pleasant easy walk with nice views of the surrounding cliffs and concluding with Taughannock Falls: New York State's tallest waterfall.The park also has access to Cayuga Lake. Along the lake shore there are picnic spots, a boat launch site, and places to fish. The views of the lake are also very nice.The South Rim trial above the gorge was also a nice walk with some good views of the gorge. However, the park should put up more signs that have trail maps on these trails. It would make it much more easy to navigate around these trails. Definitely, a NY State Park that is a nice place to visit!

This park is awesome and has plenty of activities for the whole family to fill an entire day. The lake side has picnic areas, playgrounds, a swimming area, kayak rentals, fishing, and camping. Across the street you can hike back into the gorge and witness the mighty Taughannock Falls. I also highly recommend driving up to the scenic overlook of the falls before leaving. It's a great place to take photos!

Everyone can find something they like to do or see in this versatile state park. There is a 10$ parking fee (2 EV charging spot available). This park extends from the lovely sandy stretch of beach (boat rentals and a lifeguard), via wide lawns with a versatile playground and continues into a beautiful and easy hike into the the falls themselves. The walk is very moderate and is easy to follow. You can even walk in the river bed part of the way. You can find here parking, restrooms, a small kiosk and multiple hiking paths.

Such an amazing park. So peaceful and beautiful. There are multiple ways to access the falls, a flat trail, just under a mile or so that takes you near the base, a hike that takes you to the along the rim and a lookout that can be driven to and parked it. Not only is the falls stunning but the path is perfectly maintained making it easy for anyone to access it. Everyone that makes it to the area should check it out.

Beautiful falls at the end of a very picturesque gorge. Very accessible along a 3/4 mile trail. Go early, it is very popular. Make sure to check out the Overlook as well. Short distance from the upper parking lot.

It really felt like a natural wonder in the middle of upstate New York! I believe a glacier carved out the entire area, but the waterfall was spectacular. Definitely a must-stop if you were driving by. It looks like there's a lot to do in the vicinity of the park, however, we were there in mid-April and quite a bit was closed (it was Easter weekend). You can get closer to the bottom of the falls with a very short walk from where you park down there. Just amazing

Absolutely breathtaking every time I come here. Finally hiked the gorge and got to see the falls up close with some friends during a camping trip. Very great hike, no crazy elevation changes. Just a nice, flat relaxing walk through the woods and gorge. 10/10 recommend doing both the actual hike and the overview after; to admire the scenery & accomplishment of the hike!

A sight for sore eyes . What an amazing view driving to this beautiful place in rainy weather. Clouds hanging low all over with slight drizzle this place is really beautiful.The state park looks like a perfect place for picnic in dry weather with tons of picnic benches . Swimming is allowed in season and they have kayak rentals too . Ample play area for families .Only one concern is a lot of pet poop strewn over the grass lands which is a bummer ! They should do something about that .Entry fee is 9$ .

Hiked the Gorge trail with my mom and pup. It's so beautiful. The trail is wide and easy to walk, with a few benches along the way. It was pretty busy, but never felt like there were too many people.We also checked out the concession stand for some food after our hike. Food was cooked to order and pretty nice. Lovely eating right next to the water.Looking forward to future visits

Taughannock Falls State Park, located in the picturesque Finger Lakes region, offers a truly breathtaking experience. The view of the falls is awe-inspiring and accessible via a less-than-one-minute walk from the parking area. The falls cascade from a height equivalent to about 20 stories, creating a dramatic scene that feels straight out of a movie. Remarkably, I have never seen so many eagles in one place, making it a fantastic spot for birdwatching. Beautifully maintained stairs lead you down the mountain to the base of the falls, where you can enjoy a spectacular view from below. The bathroom facilities are excellent, adding to the park’s appeal. Additionally, Taughannock Falls State Park features a campground for those wishing to stay overnight and a welcoming gift shop for souvenirs. Best of all, you don’t have to pay anything to see the falls—just park your car and take a look, or enjoy the hike down to the base. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone seeking natural beauty and a memorable outdoor experience.

Lovely park with gorgeous waterfalls. Easy hike with a wide and level path. If you get too hot you can take your shoes off and relax by the river for a bit. The slate isn't too hot to walk on barefoot and provides a nice place for a picnic or rest.

A great view of a tremendous waterfall with little effort to get there. Each of the hikes I would grade on the easy side. There is also the option to drive up to the lookout area to see the view from above the fall with no effort and capture a good picture. Getting up close and feeling the mist and power of the fall was quite the experience. The fall on the upper hike was a great one worth the hike too.

Stunning wak to the falls. Beautiful. Very clean. The park patrol are extremely helpful. It's an easy walk, no real challenges so it's perfect for those with strollers or people who ha e difficulties walking. The view of the falls is breathtaking. There's plenty of parking on either side of the street. The park across the road has very clean bathrooms, an ice cream stand and is a loverly area to picnic with views of the water, playgrounds for the little ones and big shade trees. It's a slice of heaven!

Wow!! 3/4 mile in 3/4 mile out (1.5 mile total) hike or easy walk with a lot of shade and benches along the way to rest and enjoy the sounds of nature. This is truly a sight to see! It is the tallest Free Falling waterfall in the Northeast United States. It is 33 ft taller than Niagara Falls!! I recommend checking out this natural wonder and maybe staying in this quaint town for a bit.

This is a beautiful walk to get to the falls! It is all wooded fairly flat and just gorgeous! The waterfall again, I am sure, when spring comes, it's much fuller & even more beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk to the bottom of the falls after seeing them from the top. And seeing the rock that surrounds the area nature is absolutely amazing!

Always a great opportunity to take pictures. Any season is a photographer's dream. I visit a couple times a year and recently been going to the park and enjoying walking the bed of falls, the trails and the beautiful stone bridge..

We wish that we had more time to spend at this park. We stopped in to hike the gorge. The shorter hike is quite easy, most people including children would be able to complete it easily.We also saw kayaking and swimming at this park, next time we will absolutely spend a day here.

Beautiful rock formations, wide trail along the creek that allows dogs and at the end you get to see an awesome waterfall! There is so much more to enjoy that we didn't get to.

An experience that is going to astonish you!!! $10 for parking, trail is very friendly and the views are amazing!! One of tallest waterfalls around this neighbourhood towering 215 ft!!

Absolutely stunning waterfall, I was not expecting this waterfall to be so beautiful but after seeing it I am very impressed. There is all kinds of trails from easy to difficult and an amazing overlook with a lot of parking and no hike at all. It’s a quick walk from the parking lot and there’s bathrooms there!

This park is fantastic and has enough activities for the entire family to keep them entertained for the full day. Picnic spaces, playgrounds, a swimming area, kayak rentals, fishing, and camping are available on the lake's shore. You can go back into the gorge across the street to see the magnificent Taughannock Falls. Before departing, I also recommend driving up to the magnificent viewpoint of the falls. It's an excellent location for photography.

Road is newly maintained. Pretty overlook, with binoculars. Steps to more spots to take pictures at. Gift shop. Parking lot. Very pretty drive this time of the year with redbud, dogwood, daffodil, and the range of fresh greens on the trees, shrubs and grass

This fall is so beautiful from ground level and above as well. It has river with stones flattened bed. It gives a very beautiful view. It about 1 mile of walking to reach to the fall from main road..

Impressive falls. The walk is fairly flat. You can go out onto the flat rocks at various points and walk in the water as it shallow at many points. Recommend doing the walk if you can. You will need to pay for parking. You can see it for free if you park at the top of the falls.

These falls are absolutely stunning. You can drive up to them and park in the car park and walk down to see the falls. The walk is not difficult. There are stairs to traverse, but for people who are not able, they can view from the top of the lookout. The park is clean and the trails look great! I wish I had more time to check out this park.

An IMPRESSIVE waterfall with a hypnotizing effect. The height of the falls is a nice change from others in the fingerlakes area. Different areas you can go to view and enjoy the falls making it easy for everyone to access and enjoy. Definitely recommend.

Easy to reach and walkAlmost no elevation so fit for children or elderly tooWaterfall itself doesn’t look great in photosBut it is worth of watching it.Has silky fall , not easy to explain . If you are around go visit it . I gave 4 stars because designers of the park could have and should have let visitors closer to the fall

For what little I actually got to see of it during my day trip to Ithaca, this place was absolutely breathtaking. I know it's typical for people to hit up the trails and see the gorge and the falls, but the view along the lake is peaceful. Just looking out toward a horizon of crystal clear water. At least the time I was around the beach, it was quiet and positively serene. I'll definitely have to come back and make a day of it so I can see more. The paths are safe and well-maintained too!

A very tall and beautiful waterfall. We stopped at the observation point first then went to the gorge trailhead parking area and walked up to the base viewing area of the waterfall. The total round-trip walk was about 1.2 miles. Well worth the time to see this one up close! Visited the other part of the park to get a nice view of the lake.

We love stopping at the overlook of we are driving down 89. Been here many, many times. Had it to ourselves because it was raining and the off season. Still a wonderful view. Definitely more water going over the falls in the spring vs summer.

Absolutely gorgeous! It's a moderate hike with well-maintained trails and some serious stone stair-climbing. But the reward for your efforts are stunning vistas, including a towering waterfall. Take time to stop & read the plentiful signs explaining the geologic history of the place. Also beware of possible falling rocks, so stay on the trails. My group went on a rainy, cool fall day on October 30th, but we couldn't have been happier or more enchanted.

Lower Trail at the gorge base was not too hard, saw people with strollers. About 6 ft wide, packed gravel trail. Some muddy spots with puddles. The trees, gorge walls, and falls were beautiful. $9 parking fee at the base.

Beautiful place to go along with family or friends or partner . There is hiking along the gorge trail that leads to the closest view of the falls . The other 2 trails are just the walk around the rim.

We visited these falls because majority of the falls we wanted to see was closed at Watkins Glen. Lots of walking which makes it a cinch to get your steps in. I like that the decent to the bottom to see the falls up close it’s a pretty level terrain so that was nice. There are some steps you encounter before you encounter the streets which were a little rough on my knees but I just took my time. I liked that as you walked towards the falls there were a lot of places to walk, and just bask in the sun while you played or relaxed in the water . We kept walking in anticipation of seeing the falls and to be honest I was a little dissatisfied with how small it was , but it was still a pleasant sight coupled with it being a nice day.

A beautiful and easily accessible park with the tallest, free-flowing waterfall in the eastern United States. You can get a great view from the observation deck right off the road, or you can take a short (0.75 mile) hike to the base of the falls. Spectacular in the fall with all the colors! And very dog friendly, unlike some of the other gorge trails in the Finger Lakes Region.

The view of the falls from the overlook visitor center was good and worth it if you can't go to the bottom of the falls. I am sure the closer view of the falls would have been amazing but because of the time constraints we couldn't do the trail.

Taughhannock Falls and park are beautiful all year round and I have visited many times throughout the different seasons and it has always been an amazing experience. Today was no different. The trail had a fair amount of ice on, which is not entirely surprising but the Falls were definitely the cherry on top. Absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by ice spray. On winter days, you do have to be a little more careful because of falling debris (shale or ice) but not to the extent that you should avoid it.

A spectacular waterfalls in the finger lake region. Both the view from above the falls and from below where the gorge trail ends is truly picturesque. The best time is fall season for obvious reason. Other times are good too. The parking area is not that big too.. you will find winery on the way to this place. The whole region has its beauty in each season. Worth visiting site. If time permits, u can visit this place on the way to Niagara from NYC area.

Flat walkway to waterfall. Comfortable walk, best for kids and family visits. There was not much water during May 2024 visits. So you can get inside the river rock, put your legs, chill around.There's also a banquet Inn, where celebration or corporate events are organized. Lovely view.

The view is pretty nice but not amazing. I personally recommend just using the observation deck for pictures rather than hiking down, as it's usually quite packed and lacks the appearance you can see for free from the observation deck.Parking is $9 tmk if you were to park in that designated parking lot.Images are a bit repetitive

Beautiful campus!! The views are even greater if you go by the towers🏛🏞🏔🗽

In the area for a work related event and stumbled upon Cornell! Absolutely gorgeous campus with so much history! I loved walking around and admiring the architecture and vastness among the incredible nature of Ithaca!

It's a beautiful campus and lot of activities to do. It offers wide variety of courses with quality teaching. There are lot places on campus where you can go and have some quiet time.

Very beautiful campus. Although it is a little bit far from cites, it worth visiting!

Cornell UniversityIthaca, New York, NYCornell University is located in Ithaca, New York, NY.Cornell University has a beautiful Campus in up state New York.

I visited the university as a site seeing tour.It is a very beautiful place with amazing architecture, breath taking landscapes and location.It has a museum, botanic garden, aviary, waterfall, trails and much more to explore.

Ithaca is beautiful and Cornell's architecture is marvellous! The mesmerizing waterfalls, the pretty Fall and the my favourite- snow in and around campus are main attractions.The campus is clean, well connected by TCAT buses and almost every part is wheelchair accessible and has braille. It's an amazing place to be in!

Great school with a beautiful campus! The only downsides are the crazy hills that make it harder for walking, as well as the limited parking spots for visitors.

The campus here is like its own city. We visites all the water falls and it took 3 days To look at them all. Good luck to all who want to give it à try it was.Awesome!

If you are looking to go to a college with good education, go to Cornell! The campus is beautiful and everyone is so kind. The buildings look very nice.

I searched and acquired a lot more info about this place ... Its a good place to go and study if you think about going ahead with your education.The campus is enormous and beautiful, there's literally a large forest within the school, a hospital and farm for the veterinarian majors, literally a designated section for each major.The campus is pretty diverse, though a large portion is Asians and white. They also have their own art museum and natural history museum free to the public. There's 5 gyms on campus too.In addition, I met my German wife here. A very memorable place.

Mmm, mixed feelings I have about Cornell, hmmm. Beautiful, the campus is, surrounded by nature's embrace. Tranquil atmosphere, perfect for learning, it provides. However, navigate the campus using Apple Maps, I tried. Confusing, the paths were, lost I became. Clear, the directions were not, mmm.Visit the Johnson Museum of Art, you must. Impressive collection, it holds, and panoramic views, it offers. But, hmmm, disappointingly, Apple Maps cannot guide you to the art's heart.Slope Day at Libe Slope, a taste of student life, it gives. Vibrant energy, all around, you can sense. But to find it with Apple Maps, struggle you might.Four and half stars, I give, for Cornell's beauty and learning environment. But if navigate with Apple Maps, prepared to be, hmmm, puzzled you should be.

This was a pretty cool place. Not just one place, but 3 wine bars, a coffee shop, a brew pub all at one address. They had a very talented band playing outdoors. Can't wait to get to get back and try the beers.I don't know how to respond to the question posed by the owner without editing my review. The question, the 4 vs 5 stars is just based on our preferences for wine. Some of the wines we tried were good, and one quite good, but others we didn't like at all. On average 4 stars says we liked it and was enjoyable enough for another visit, but not best we've ever had. Of course, others may have a different experience based on their tastes.

Really cool place. Nice layout with great design. Plenty of seats. Definitely one stop.Three winery's and one beer brewery. Im more of beer person. Variety of beers is amazing for every taste.Stuff is amazingly friendly and helpful.

This is a beautiful and child friendly estate, we have 2 young children and we’re happy to find out they do a soda flight and also have gourmet chocolates for sale in one of their tasting rooms. The cafe is also kids friendly. We went for option 2, a shareable $40 worth of tasting at 4 different tasting areas with fun wines as well as more premium wine and ended off with craft beer and cider tasting. All the staff were friendly and special thanks to Patrick at the War horse for giving our kids special attention, we appreciate it!

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in the Finger Lakes the weekend of December 3rd, 4th and 5th. We visited your winery on Saturday the 4th and it was truly amazing. It was my favorite winery and we did visit many that weekend, yours truly stuck out above the rest. We will be back when the weather Is nicer, we hear the experience is even more enjoyable!

Three Brothers was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. My husband and I visited to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and we had so much fun that we spent most of the day here. We reserved the shared tasting experience. It includes 19 samples across four different on-site facilities that each have a unique theme. We finished with a wine slushee at a fire pit that had incredible views of the vineyard and lake. Great vibes, amazing staff and delicious spirits. Thanks for a great day!

Awesome venue. Fantastic staff. Great variety of wine, beer, cider. Grab a slushy or a pint and take your time strolling around the 3 winery’s and brewery. Many special events, great food available.

This place is big! We didn’t have enough time to get to it all, but they accommodated for fewer tastings too. We only did 2 tastings and the cool part is you can pick your wines, while many wineries in the area have pre-set tasting lists.$15 for one tasting. $40 for 4 tastings (they call it a passport). They have beer and coffee on the site too (we didn’t try though)! Delicious rice crispy treats for sale in the gift shop!!We appreciated that they brought out the tastings in separate pouring containers so we could share tastings in a healthy manner. 👍🏼😷Finally, the servers were very friendly and had great insights on the wines! We enjoyed learning about white wines as we generally drink reds.

We went to Three Brothers while visiting the finger lakes in June 2024. We spent about 5 amazing hours there. The staff were great. Friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. The wine was delicious. Thee was a food truck on site which was a fun bonus. We would definitely return to make some more great memories.

Always a great time! Jeremy, at Stoney Lonesome, is the ultimate host. Tasting passport makes Three Brothers a destination winery--one stop for a day's worth of fun.

Three Brothers Winery is my number one pick for winery spots. I have been a guest numerous of times and just recently spent a annual day at the winery on Saturday. Pre birthday celebration. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made our visits so delightful. As always the wine selection, gift selection and seating selections were perfect! The scenery is something out of a movie. Literally picture perfect.I highly recommend this place!

Came by this place based off a recommendation from another vineyard. We had a group of 12 and had planned to go to a winery last minute. We all agreed this was the most amazing place and would come again. The staff were friendly and accommodating to our large last minute group and even gave us recommendations for other places in the area to visit. This winery had 4 different rooms, each with their own theme that you could visit for tasting. You could pay $40 to visit all 4 rooms, which served different wines, beers and ciders or pay $15 for 1 room of you’re choosing for tasting. For the most part we got to choose 5 wines from a list to taste as well as beer and ciders. They also served wine slushies. I highly recommend this winery if you want a unique and fun experience.

This is the Disney World of wineries in this area! The staff were wonderful - friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Multiple offerings of wines, beers, slushes and coffee. Love the artful Woman themes on all their wine labels. So many places to sit and relax both indoors and outdoors. Lots of funky artwork and displays all over the grounds. A huge store selling their wines and other fun takeaways. An elevated terrace with great views. Food and drink served there including your wine tastings. We found their reds and white to be very tasty. The Vava Voom table red was especially interesting. This is a Must Stop on your wine tour, especially if you have a range of ages traveling together.

This winery came recommended by some acquaintances of mine and it did not disappoint. Beautiful views, beautiful grounds with 3 different buildings, great wine, friendly and attentive staff. They also have an eye catching dessert case with locally made truffles for your sweet tooth. You can buy snacks like Cabot cheese slices, crackers, olives etc but they come in their original packaging and you serve yourself. Will definitely be back!

This was our first time here. It is a beautiful winery. I loved how the wine tasting is divided into 4 different buildings. $40 and you get to taste 4-5 different wines at each building. There’s also a beer/hard cider building. We will definitely come back when the weather is warmer.

My family enjoyed several hours at the estate & were greeted by so many pleasant employees who explained all of the different buildings & what each specialized in. Fellow visitors were also helpful with suggestions on their favorites. There was something for everyone in our group of 6. My son treated his girlfriend to a “tasting for 2” as a birthday gift & was pleasantly surprised to find out they could travel to all 4 buildings for a flight in each. We loved it & look forward to coming again.

The atmosphere and decor and "largeness" of this place is worth a stop. The wine and drinks aren't that good. So many cute spots for photo ops though. They have changed their vibe over the years as far as tastings too - you used to saddle up to a bar inside and now it is more you get a checklist and there are servers. Less fun and pricy but if you enjoy the scenery and forget about the wine you will have a great time! Also, not a lot of food-allergy choices while you are there.

This was our first time at Finger Lakes, and Three Brothers was our absolute favorite spot! My husband and I stayed longer than expected, considering the area lost power, they still kept it going, the staff was exceptional, and very pleasant during the entire ordeal. They have something for everyone, the grounds are unique, and perfect for awesome pictures! Crystal took great care of us, explained the different buildings, and tastings. We will recommend them to everyone visiting, and hope to be back!

So much fun, why make a bunch of separate stops when you can experience a variety from one location. Sign up for the tasting package to make it easy. It's all dolled up for Christmas right now - very pretty!

This past week, my family and I did the "Sip & See: A Three Brothers Vineyard Discovery Tour" and we loved it!! It was about an hour long. The wine samples were delicious. We learned so much and had a great time.

Love this place!! They have a huge variety with so many delicious options. They also have friendly and knowledgable staff. I was first here pre covid during a wine trail event and we all loved it so we wanted to return while in the area. We bought wines & ciders.

This place was wonderful, filled with many charming areas, the wine and beer was really good and the staff were kind and accommodating and talented. We were there for the eclipse and it was the perfect setting. We will definitely come back when we are in the area. Big recommend. Do the four flights! Amazing deal and so much fun to taste so many tastes across a day.

First stop on our anniversary trip. Absolutely no complaints. We loved how each winery had its own personality. We did the shared tasting passport for $40. We preferred Stoney Lonesome wines over the others, but each winery definitely caters to different tastes (super sweet vs more traditional wines). Make sure you have plenty of time to hang out so you can enjoy all of the details, but definitely don’t miss this stop on your next trip to Geneva.

I LOVE this place. Great wine- I wish they had more options for food and my big thing- PLEASE PUT BABY CHANGING STATIONS IN THE BATHROOM. I totally get that kids aren’t super frequent visitors but at least put changing stations in the bathroom. That would be so helpful. Even if it’s only the outside bathrooms. Still love this place

AWESOME place. 4 different areas to go to. Good prices for tastings. Brewery inside as well! I call this a RESORT! Awesome scenery! Best pretzel purchase! Great bartenders and staff! I will be back!

Very nice place, definitely recommend doing the flights. Reasonably priced for what you get, and they have a brewery as well. Over all, Loved the experience and the atmosphere. Was treated very well by the staff. 5 stars

This is "1" of the best wineries we've been to. The fact that it's 4 different venues in one is great. The wine, cider and beer selections were all very good. There is something here for everyone. All of our servers were knowledgeable and friendly.

Staff member Matt was a very informative and kind gentleman. It was a pleasure to be served by him. The setting was very pleasant but the pours were very light. Certainly not a one ounce pour.

This was not my favorite venue in the region. 🫢I just really didn't like the building which is not air conditioned and being open to the outside I was annoyed with flies🪰 during my tasting.😖The wines are good.🍷 I have enjoyed all of the wines on my visits. 😋More so than when I visited California. And the servers💁🏻‍♂️ are very well educated 👨🏻‍🏫on their products.🍇This property also has a restaurant, which is air conditioned. And has a lovely outside patio overlooking the vineyard. 🍇I would recommend a glass 🍷 and something to eat🌮 over the tasting🫢They have an excellent gift shop!🎁🛍️

A rating of 5 does not do this place justice. Gorgeous, 1st class interior venues. Tables are set with glasses, napkins and wine lists - so inviting! Tastings come with a bread, cheese and dip snack tray. Sheri, our server, was absolutely wonderful!! Very personable and knowledgeable about the wines. We were privileged to talk to Vanessa, the wine maker there. She had a great story of her life path. Bought several bottles to enjoy later. Also a restaurant there to enjoy!

Really good Reds! And paired with their Fries!! Wow! Will be back when we can get back to the Lakes!

A beautiful setting for superb food. A new chef began in May and he has brought sophistication and excellence to the menu. The scallop appetizer was delicious and perfectly cooked, the mussels were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The service was delightful-friendly, helpful and efficient.

My husband and I relocated from the city about a year ago and have truly been embracing wine country. We’ve been to some really amazing wineries but this one goes to the top of the list! We went for a tasting yesterday and had a wonderful time. The staff are so lovely, welcoming and knowledgeable. Our favorite staff member was Ham, resident canine who was beyond adorable. The wine is top of the line. I can honestly say there was not one we didn’t love and left with 20 bottles. But I would recommend not leaving without their Sparkling Brut and Ruby Port. We enjoyed delicious bread and cheese with our tasting as well as a basket of French fries that were the best I’ve ever had. It’s clear these people know how to do it right. We will definitely be returning. This winery was referred to us by our neighbors who go there for a monthly dinner they offer and rave about so we will be trying that as well. Like I said they do it right!!

Our favorite stop along the 2 days of wineries on Seneca and Cayuga. As soon as you walk in the door, you can tell you've arrived somewhere special. The ambiance is amazing! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The wine is superb! Everything is extremely dog friendly - our pomsky loved it here. Bonus: they give you snacks with your tasting 😋100% will recommend. You should go!

I really enjoyed their dessert wines. The building is not air conditioned. The staff was knowledgable and helpful. They offered room temperature water that looked like it had been sitting on our table for a while. You can purchase bottled water though. They were not overly kid friendly, but did not seem to mind.

We did our second wine tour a few weeks ago and unfortunately we had a bad experience. Our server had no personality and was not very engaging. We were not impressed this time. As for the other staff we noticed them sitting on the stools and on their phone with customers walking in and out. I miss walking into the gift shop as we enter the winery. We will give it another chance.

My sister and I had a wonderful experience here today. The wine tasting service was great, including the complimentary snacks they provided. In fact, the dip was so good, we bought some to take home. We then went to the Vineyard Restaurant and had a delicious lunch. Exceptional food and outstanding service from Noah, our waiter. He was so friendly and took great care of us. Can’t wait to get back home to PA and tell friends and family to come and visit!

It's my favorite winery on the trail. Personable and fun staff, fantastic wines and spirits. The Loganberry wine is sooo good!

My husband and I shared a tasting and were served by Shari. She is pretty knowledgeable in the wines and she was just a pleasure to talk to. My husband tends towards the sweets and liked Superstition. I'm a fan of the dryer wines. I got a bottle of Profondo Rosso. We also loved the bread and aoli that came with our tasting. I want the aoli recipe!

This review is just now, my husband and me we just came here to wine tasting, it was a big fluffy dog and another medium size dog we just sit down to pick the wine that we will like to taste, in a minute my husband start sneezing not stopping, he is very allergic to dogs hair plus he is asthmatic too, when that happen to him he always end in the ER with a asthma attack, bottom. Point we left right away, I love pet but sometimes is a place for pet and sometimes is not, my personal opinion a winery tasting is not for dogs

Wonderful winery and spirits establishment. Beautifully decorated, it's Christmas all year long, and the staff was fantastic. The wines were very good. You should stop by and buy a case. I did! C'mon you know you want to. Do it!

My husband and I came here as the first stop of our latest vacation for a wine tasting. Matt was an unbelievable help in determine what wines went best with foods and went into great detail about each wine. The wines themselves were amazing and we will definitely be purchasing a few to take home with us. The complimentary cheese and bread was delicious. Buying some of the dip to take home with us! Will definitely come back here again!

I have been visiting both the Senaca and Cayuga wines trails for years. Knapp used to be in my top three favorite wineries. Yes used to be. I am unsure why anyone buys a good business and changes everything. In the days past you used to walk in to a friendly smile from an employee manning the cash register you would find in front gift shop area. Used to buy a lot of cool gifts for friends and family there. Plus all wine was out for you to look over. This has Ben replaced with an empty room except a few tables. There used to be three bars you could do the wine tasting at. These were a lot of fun especially if you were a group. Plus I meant many people over the years this way as you would struck up conversations during the wine tastings with other patrons. Also now gone and replaced with just tables. The wine slushy machines are gone. All the wine is now behind a small counter, so no real shopping and only a few trinkets in a dark corner to purchase. Terrible floor set up. I must not be the only one that feels this way as I never see more guests then employees in their anymore. Used to be really busy. I see everyone at all the surrounding wineries. It is sad I wont be going back. I have a lot of fond memories. Maybe once the new owners are done putting it out of business the new owners will return it to a fun atmosphere. Plus they are discontinuing one of my favorite wines.

This place has got great wine and fantastic food!! Do the tasting, grab a few bottles and make sure to dine at the restaurant, as it has got to be some of the best food on this particular wine trail. They have their normal menu and the day we went there was another option of specials available. I would eat here often if I lived closer!!

Good wines, friendly & knowledgable staff, (sanitary pours too). Cute setup inside. I was here for a wine trail event, but would definitely return.

If you are anywhere along Cayuga Lake or the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, try an elegant al fresco dinner at Knapp Winery. The restaurant has limited hours and limited seating, but the innovative food and gorgeous sunset view is well worth the drive.They offer various wine "flights", pairing their own wines with several other local wines. While visiting in late July, the menu had several healthy, garden-fresh options.

We enjoyed an amazing lunch at the restaurant today. The outdoor seating was clean and comfy. We ordered the charcuterie board and flatbread “pizza”. Both were over the top delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was Ashley and she was beyond exceptional. Individuals like Ashley are not easy to find. Do whatever to keep her! Felt like we were being treated like VIP’s. This gem of an establishment is highly recommended for a great lunch and chilling out !

Might be the bottom one for all the premium outlets I been to access the state. I really don't know this place is a big parking lot or a shopping more. No good bargain and many shops were closed.

Here'sGood outlet! It has a diverse range of brands with good deals and hyper-fast electric chargers, which is a perk. Highly recommend it!

Everywhere we visited, staff was friendly and helpful. But most stores are closed now, found the sandals on sale were $5 cheaper delivered on Amazon. Bought some pants because they fit, after trying on 15 pairs, although I'm not in love with the color. Maybe it will be better after the pandemic ends.

The stores that are still there are very good and each have some kind of extra discounts. The stores are all very clean with friendly staff. I only gave it 4 stars only because there are a lot of vacant stores. It's understandable but not the variety that once was. That being said, I will definitely return as you can't beat the deals!

I cannot believe I just 15 dollars for one hot very small hot dog and smoothie. That is completely ridiculous. There is no other food option here visibly. Found out there was a food court afterward.

I used to LOVE this place but since everyone chose To let the government tell us we can do things and/or can’t it’s gone down hill in many ways ! MANY stores seem as tho they have moved and the cleanliness has suffered quite a bit ! I also can not for the life of me figure out why they don’t have motorized buggies for the physically disabled ( like myself) . Having these available would make me feel appreciated and would GREATLY assist me in shopping ! Plus the mall could make some money from charging a SMALL REASONABLE AMONT to use and return the buggies to where they needed to go to. One more thing I feel has gone down hill is the cleanliness . There was many old tossed out wrappers on the ground and a massive amount of cigarette butts EVERYWHERE !!!

I am a plus size woman and the shopping options were extremely limited for clothing my size. Was able to find shoes. Sketchers is fabulous and highly recommend this store. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Especially loved the shopping bags.

Some vacant stores but worth the trip for back to school shopping. Especially Under Armor, American Eagle, Champion & Aeropostale. Some selections for footwear as well, Famous Footwear and Clark’s had some nice sales going on. Don’t be discouraged by the empty parking lot, worth the trip for back to school needs.

Easy-in,easy-out trip to this regional attraction. Visited a specific store, but there are so many. Be prepared to walk long distances - and plan for good weather - because every store has only an outside entrance. Huge parking lot but busy makes it a strategic decision on where to park the first time. Planning is important! These outlets compete with online stores by having touchable inventory rather than on price.

There are just enough great stores to shop at to make the trip worth while. I have found many of the people working at each individual store to be pleasant. Dining here is limited yet good food quality worth mentioning. This is an outdoor strip plaza with an awning to keep you out of direct sun/rain.

Prices are higher than other retail stores. These outlets are overrated and overpriced. I can get the same clothes closer to me at much cheaper prices. Ex. Nike outlet sells shoes at max suggested retail price instead of selling at a deal, yet the same sneakers selling for $160 at the outlet I can get for $70 not far from me. Will not be going to these outlets again.

I have not been to this outlet Mall in several years and it's worse than before due to approximately 25% of the stores being closed. Not many deals in the stores, it seems prices are higher than local stores. The Mall area is nice and clean and many benches are available to rest.

It’s really just a giant parking lot with a few stores scattered around. You have to get in your car to drive from one side to the other because it’s not designed for walking. And then it lacks the basic amenities like benches to sit down on. It feels oppressive and without any sort of design or beauty.

Good deals lots of parking.I went for the Nike outlet but ended up at The Hilfiger store and a few others.The only issue is they are lacking a decent food court.Out of the two places for food there the place that sells Hispanic style soul food was the best. High prices BUT very good food. It wasn't fast food it was from scratch stuff.Everyplace I visited in the shopping plaza was really clean also

This is a glorified old spread out large strip mall that has always been marketed as an "Outlet". It has seen better days. When we visited recently I was surprised at the emptiness. Vacant stores, empty parking lots, and poorly staffed empty stores. We found the prices were nothing great. It is not worth making a special trip. But if you are driving by on the Thruway and need to kill some time and feel like shopping at a dismal place, in person, at poorly staffed stores, where you can find a parking spot, then this is the place for you. Just don't make this a destination. More than likely you will be a let down.

My parents and I like going up here to buy shoes for cheap, since there's ALWAYS a sale going on. There is a good Greek food place near the food court, but the food court itself has been dead since the pandemic. There used to be a lot more food options there, but now there's just one, if I remember correctly. Aside from that, there's plenty of name-brand stores to suit your needs.

Erstaunlicherweise an einem Freitagnachmittag sehr wenige Kunden. Uns hat das gefreut, wir konnten sehr entspannt einkaufen! Es gibt viele gute Markengeschäfte, die wir mögen. In manchen Geschäften gibt es ein tolles Service (Levis, Wrangler, Hilfiger, Nautica), in anderen wird man als Kundin ignoriert (Skechers, Clarks).(Translated by Google)Surprisingly, very few customers on a Friday afternoon. We were happy about that, we were able to shop very relaxed! There are many good brand stores that we like. In some stores there is great service (Levis, Wrangler, Hilfiger, Nautica), in others you are ignored as a customer (Skechers, Clarks).

Went to Adidas their whole store is 60%off . Really good deals. Very friendly staff.

I recently visited Waterloo Premium Outlets in NY and was blown away by the incredible deals. It's rare to find a place where prices are cheaper than online stores, even those with discounts, but this place does it! The variety of stores and the discounts offered are just amazing.I would highly suggest planning a visit during Black Friday. The discounts get even better, offering unbeatable prices that you won't find anywhere else. It's the perfect time to grab those deals that you've been eyeing all year.The outlets are clean, well-organized, and have a great selection of brands. The staff are friendly and helpful, adding to a pleasant shopping experience. Whether you're looking for clothes, electronics, or accessories, you'll find great options here at a fraction of the usual cost.

It's an okay place. The food court has two good choices but that's a little less than I expected (I was hoping for four or more places to buy from). Empanadas were good.Found some deals for clothes, jackets etc.Usually I try to find a book store or toys or something (I think they still exist?) but like most outlets they're mostly clothing stores, so most guys will need to bee-line straight for the bookstore so they won't get bored.

Dozens of stores in the complex. Good, candles, clothing, sports equipment, novelty shops. There is definitely something for everyone. Family friendly, pet friendly, some stores more expensive than others but the selections lends itself to all budgets.

If you’re looking for outlets, this is a pretty decent one right outside the finger lakes. It has most of the major brands like Under Armour, Nike, Banana Republic and it’s clean. It can be a zoo on the weekends, so stop on a weekday for easy access. Unfortunately like most outlets, there’s a mediocre food court rather than a good restaurant or two, so be sure to eat before you go.

Our son had an absolute blast in this place!!! Especially inside the Nike Factory Store!! I had one hell of a time getting him out...he wanted just about everything he saw!!! The staff and customers were so polite and helpful👍🏻❤️‍🔥💯

A satisfying variety of different shops with reasonable prices and friendly staff. The Yankee Candle stands out among the rest for having an incredible staff and a warm atmosphere. Not the most ideal place to come in the colder months because the only way to get from store-to-store is walking outdoors, but in the summer, it's a great way to get fresh air while shopping for your favorite brands.

So many great stores. We visit at least 2-4 times a year. Always worth it and great prices.

The mall has less foot traffic and overall buiness since the pandemic. Some stores are only open on weekends and there are various stores that didn't reopen. Limited food court options with only two places in operation.

Your shows are fantastic, Ginger Billy was the latest my wife and I got to enjoy. Your gaming is phenomenal. I appreciate being able to walk out with a little $$$ without being a high roller, unlike other local casinos. I miss the buffet, but under the circumstances of public health, I understand. Thank you again for another wonderful experience.

Today, we checked in at around 3:40 pm by Jessika. Can’t remember her last name, but hopefully the Manager will know by time and date, who she is. She was Wonderful and Very Pleasant. Upon learning we were celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary, she got approval to upgrade our room. What a Wonderful experience right from the start. We unfortunately didn’t win any money but felt like winners with room upgrade. Thank you for making our Wedding Anniversary a Wonderful one Jessika, we Appreciated you♥️

Just returned from a one night stay. I don't gamble. The main reason I booked was because I went to a concert at del Lago and didn't want to drive back to Rochester at 11pm. The vine gets a lot of big name performers and the venue is nice. The hotel room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. My main complaint is the value for the price. The hotel room was close to $400. I suspect the price was so high because it was a Saturday night and due to high demand as a result of the concert. Aside from gambling there is little to do. I'm not interested in the spa. There are only 2 restaurants. I normally would like to try the buffet but it's seems their buffet never reopened after COVID. Wish there was a pool or something other than gambling. The town of Seneca falls is about a 10 minute drive and has some things to see. There's another hotel just 5 minutes down the road which is half the price. I would go again to see a show but I would likely book one of the other area hotels.

We were at the VINE showroom for Matt Rife and I have to say the venue was great. Now for the seats we bought being right up ground I would have at least expected cup holders being that there is a bar located right at the entrance of the showroom, but there were not. There are some in the cheaper seats. But none in the front sections. And I did get kinda hot in there after everyone piled in. It was sold out of course, but since AC would have been nice. Otherwise it was an amazing experience overall!

Nice rooms and enjoy the events they bring to the Vine but rarely stay at the hotel as they jack up the prices every time there's an event there. I'm just not paying $400 to stay in a room when there are plenty of other places to stay 5 miles away.Shame they don't keep the prices reasonable year around. I'd think they'd want to encourage people to stay there so they'll spend money gambling, on food & drinks, etc. I'd love to come in and spend the day there before a concert and be able to hang out in a room if prices were more reasonable.Maybe consider offering discounts for people that have bought concert tickets?Nice place but I'd suggest staying elsewhere if there is an event going on as you can stay for 1/2 the price at the Hampton or other hotels in the Seneca Falls area.

Just went to the casino for some fun. Really nice people. The table games and craps were fun and the dealers were great. Very patient with us newbies. Then those shiny machines took all my winnings! 😉. How I love to have the big wheel spin!!

Recently taken a turn for the worse. Absolutely no customer service. Gaming is good. Dealers are friendly; but the amenities are junk. "Resort Casino", where is the resort exactly? No activities, no pool. Just a Casino attached to a "Holiday Inn". Last visit, ordered dinner in their restaurant as I have many times before - preparation was different and disgusting to me, so I sent the dish back. Still got billed. Had an issue with their credit service where some correspondence sat in their mail room for two weeks before being handled - issue took two on-premise visits to resolve. Casino host 'comped' us a dinner - told us to bill it to our room and it would be taken care of - charge hit my credit card and e-mail to the casino host has gone unanswered.

Stopped here for a comedy show. Great selection of games. The service was lack luster, took longer to get a drink than make a round to see all the games.They need to get a better strategy for their event management. The line is absolutely horrible and the wait times to get into The Vine, their performance venue was longer than 50 minutes. This is atrocious compared to other casinos in the area and even Vegas… I’d be happy to connect with management to share suggestions to increase their event entrance and exit strategies.

In the past I really enjoyed Del Lago. Rooms were nice, clean, quiet. The casino was fun with good tables and slots. Lately the service has gone down significantly! Service is lackluster for food and drinks. If you are going for a concert or event don't expect to get near a table or slot machine because they pack in. The atmosphere in general has changed. Id rather head to turning stone or buffalo creek....much better service there!

This wasn’t our first stay but possibly the best. Everyone was friendly throughout the hotel and casino. Especially the staff at the Farmers Market Express, whom I feel took particularly good care of us right before closing. The room we stayed in, as we expected, didn’t disappoint. It was inviting and provided everything we needed. The bed was ridiculously comfortable and the shower is possibly the best part. Not to mention the scent of the shower necessities and hand lotion, which delightfully you can smell throughout the casino, are intoxicating! We played a good amount of time on the machines. We didn’t come out ahead but had some good hits and enjoyed ourselves. Also the upgrade to the smoking section was much appreciated. Thank you del lago for another great anniversary getaway!

Super comfortable and large room but the AC did not cool well. We were only left 2 towels and being there 2 nights our room was not serviced or garbage removed. Be aware there is a long walk to the elevators. The cafe is convenient and reasonably priced. Overall good value for the money.

Did not stay. Attempted to take my wife children to dinner after shopping at the outlet malls. Was immediately shooed away at the door and told we had to go through the hotel to access restaurants. Walked through hotel only to find that we could only eat at cafe because all other restaurants are on gaming floor, (which we obviously could not access because our children are under 21) What a missed opportunity. I have taken my family to several casinos to eat and NEVER had this issue before. Other casinos are properly laid out and recognize that consumers enjoy a nice dining experience as well and will travel there specifically for the dining.

My partner and I have stayed here twice now taking advantage of member perk free nights. Service is great, rooms are big and clean, 10/10The hotel location is good with a short drive to Seneca lake and other Finger Lakes draws. The views aren't remarkable at the hotel itself with the thruway right there, but we rarely pay to stay and are usually only in the room to sleep or get ready, so we aren't fussed with it. Lots of restaurants are nearby in Waterloo and Geneva as well.A lot of the fast food option restaurants in the casino cafeteria are open late late too, which is nice if you get the munchies before bed (or after a long night of gambling).

Loved going to the Vine theater. Good atmosphere and the seating are in such a way that no one's head is in your way. My only con was that the drinks were watered-down. Will definitely go back.

Though, I always lose my money, this is one of my favorite casinos. I haven’t stayed in the hotel yet. Walking in the door, the casino smells clean. Almost like hand soap. The greeters were pleasant. I did go to Smash Burger for dinner. It was DELICIOUS. I couldn’t even finish it. I ordered the Original Smash (well done), Sweet Potato Fries and a Cookies n Cream milkshake. Everything was made to perfection. Nice staff, as well.

We needed to layover while waiting for a load. The room was nice! I enjoyed it very much. Wonderful waterfall shower and it was clean. Casino was fun but only because we won $$$! No shows while we were there but people watching was fantastic. I did not like the steakhouse. Blew $220 for mediocre steak. The other dishes looked and tasted better than my steak. Sad. 😔Friendly staff, nice variety of food offerings in food court area, clean casino with a majority non-smoking (small enclosed smoking area). Will definitely go back again!

I've been going there for years, before and after covid. They always took my money, I don't think they pay the percentage there supposed to. Never brought the buffet back and l have ask every time there. Me and my wife loved the buffet.so we go to other casinos now! The place what's to give you stupid gifts now to keep you happy.they can't have buffet because they store all the gifts where there should be a buffet. Very sad! Rooms are never available.

100% the moat comfortable bed I have ever slept in. While I didn’t have any luck at all at the casino, the staff was friendly, everything was clean, and worth repeating, most comfortable beds ever! Bathroom was spacious. Great room for the money.

We had stayed at this hotel the week prior to our 2nd visit on the way through to Cleveland as a layover stop. The first visit was pretty good. It was a good price point and we had dinner in the casino. The second time we had a much different experience. They quadrupled the price of the room due to the face a show was happening that night at The Vine. We went from low $100 a night to over $400 a night for the same room. We tried to call down for room service and kept being put on hold. Upon going down to the Cafe to try and get food I saw the poor girl behind the counter trying to wait on people and answer phones. If you are going to jack up prices for a show then hire more help! This is unacceptable for guests who you are now charging $450 dollars a night for a room and for the staff at the hotel. This is price gouging at its finest!

The room is very nice. Comfy beds. Great staff. Crystal and Marcy at the front desk was very helpful and nice. The housekeeper Alexandra was very nice also. The location of the hotel is very close to a lot of restaurants and the casino has easy access from your room. I highly recommend. A+

We had our company Christmas party here and they did a wonderful job. The staff was friendly and professional, the drinks were delicious, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was fun and festive. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

We live this casino! Win or lose, we always have a fun time here! The games are great, the food is great, the staff is excellent. They always have a great selection of entertainment. Come and give them a try!(For help with problem gambling, please call 877.8.HOPENY or text HOPENY (467369).

Our room was beautiful and very clean. The spa was amazing.The only issue I had was the toilets are so low. I have knee problems so getting up is an issue. Not a big deal though.All employees were pleasant and helpful. Food was good.

Check in was easy, elevators have key security, and everything appears new.The rooms were aesthetically pleasing but functional. The bathroom was also pretty cool looking but functional. Separate doors for the toilet from the shower.And oh! The shower! In all my days of traveling it had to be the best shower I have ever taken!Definitely will be back!

The place seems to be run down and understaffed. Very dirty, more then half the stalls in the bathroom were out of order. The bar tender was very rude, just a very unprofessional ran place. People are spending money and come to enjoy them selfs and the staff treats you like they are annoyed you're there. I personally don't gamble much this place was very depressing. The room was okay nothing special, other peoples hair left in the shower, the bed was comfortable though.

Went to see Matt Rife comedy show and decided to stay in the hotel overnight. I was extremely happy with the size of my standard king size room. Everything was clean and new. I was only disappointed that there was no mini bar and that calling room service didn't actually do anything, I had to just call the restaurant. Also the room service hours were not great. I was seeing a 930pm show and wasn't out until 11pm, but the room service stops at 10pm. I enjoyed the casino itself, even though I'm not much of a gambler, I had a lot of fun. I definitely want to return to use their spa services and stay overnight again. It was pricey for a Wednesday night stay ($400+), but I loved it!!

Wife and I have been coming here since it opened. Originally, before Covid, it was a good time with lots of good food, good perks, decent free play, and decent odds. Since about 2019 though its gone downhill. The slots are tighter than heck, the table games are all $15 minimum bet, and worst of all they STILL have not reopened the buffet!We broke down and went to Turning Stone last week. Yeah, their slots are just as tight, but at least they have a lot of dining options including a newly refurbished buffet - and funny thing, it almost is a clone of the better buffet Del Lago used to have! At $36 a head there was a line of 250+ ppl to get in - come on Del Lago - time to revamp the buffet and get it open again!

We ate at the Sociale. The menu looked good. The salads were good. Food was cold when we got it. My husband had steak, which was tasteless and tough. One person had their fried chicken. It was dry, and the gravy seemed to come from a can. We had 3 small desserts (brookies and banana cake) which seemed quite stale. All in all, a less than average meal to the tune of $150 plus a tip.

A great resort. The staff is great it is well laid outLots of machines. The rooms are a little dated but clean. I like the drink order feature on all of the machines. I definitely would recommend a visit to Del Lago

For under $100/night, we had the BEST DATE NIGHT/DAY! What a great way to reconnect.From reservations to checkout, it was a great 24 hours.Hotel, gambling, Smahburgers, dessert chili dog, shopping & museums...The deluxe suite was the size of 3 regular rooms!We have NO COMPLAINTS, & will be back!

The room was typical, there was no stability bar on the wall of the bathroom nor bathroom vents. The gaming was pretty good. The food was a little expensive, but good. The best thing about the hotel/casino were its staff; they were excellent.

We came here for a concert and had a really good time. We got a king room and it was very luxurious compared to the average king room at other hotels. Beds were soft with feather pillows, spacious room, walk in shower. It's so convenient that the hotel connects right to the casino and restaurants. Very reasonably priced restaurants. The breakfast at the social club was excellent and only $12. Best breakfast I've had in a while. It has a grocery store and gas stations right across the street as well as Dunkin donuts, Wendy's and a Mexican diner. Minutes away from the Waterloo outlet mall. All the surrounding areas are pretty rural. Pretty much farmland. So aside from what I listed there's not too much else around unless you travel further out, but the amenities at the hotel make it worthwhile. Definitely a great place to go for a little weekend getaway. We'll definitely be back soon.

i was there tonight for the matt rife show at the vine. the staff members at the bar & ushers were so incredibly rude & talked throughout the e n t i r e show! when you spend that much money on a ticket only for the experience to be degraded by that. i understand that they need to do their work, but the bar should absolutely close for any headlining act. this would be a 1 star review, however, the toilet paper in the bathrooms is very soft; that’s a redeeming factor.

Attended a show at The Vine. Great venue with excellent seating and acoustics. Easy access from thevNYS Thruway only 57 miles from the west side of Rochestet. Enjoyed that the casino is smoke-free, which makes the experience very pleasant. Also like the free coffee and soft drink beverages.

Absolutely loved our stay! Hotel and room was clean and comfortable. Great choice in games. Twinspires was a good place to eat. Not sure why they put wine in a plastic cup? Wasn't impressed. Food came out and was very good. Waitress had a hard time keeping up. We will definitely be back. Maybe a free accommodation 😉😉

We stayed Super Bowl weekend and loved every minute of it. Room clean and well kept; staff accommodating and informed; food and drink a little pricey but well made. Best part: no extra charge for our granddaughter and she was allowed to go anywhere in the place so long as she was with us.

This casino has gone downhill terribly. There is just nothing there anymore it’s a ghost town it’s so sad too. Rooms are just awful now we will never stay again. Nothing is open there. No one goes anymore there was like no one there. No buffet. Casino closes at night and until the morning. Very creepy there you don’t feel safe. It’s gone downhill just so bad.

We saw a great show here, Claudia Hoyser was fabulous. We ate at the sports bar which was only fair, we do not recommend the potato skins, the bar tenders were great. This facility is clean and fun. My rating for the room is from a previous stay. My husband won lots of money this visit!

The staff there is still awful, I'm not sure about the cleaning staff or the security there, but their front desk women, the people who are supposed to deal with customers, don't know how to smile, seem unenthusiastic to be working there, I got an audible sigh when asking one single question. They had this air about them that they were better than everyone else, when asking for a bellman to help my stuff up stairs, they were confused for a second and didn't even seem to know the guys name. I just felt disrespected and like they don't actually care about the quality of their customers stay. "As long as the building is pretty who cares how we treat customers." Ridiculous

Went for a concert. No matter where you sit, you have a good seat. Small personal venue and we enjoyed it. We are local so didn't stay in the rooms and we don't gamble so can't say how the casino is. But it was very clean and the food was decent at Smashburger.

I thought the games on the casino floor were somewhat outdated. It was my first time there and I won a jackpot. The attendant/staff were courteous. I enjoyed a few hours there (not just because I won).I didn't stay at the hotel nor did I dine there but it looked like they had a nice nice variety of dining options.

So for me the location is great because I live in central New York and have a family cottage on Cayuga Lake so I literally drive by the casino anytime I travel to my cottage.Generally I did not gamble actually I have only been there twice. First time I lost $60 in about 5 minutes and I turned out around and walked out the door the second time I stopped on the way back home spur of the moment and ended up $200 at the roulette table although I didn't walk away when I should have. But I didn't lose any money and I had fun so I had a mixed experience. I figure I'll give it another shot sometime this summer and we'll see how it goes.In terms of service that is very good both times, I have never stayed in a room so can't comment on that, and the location for me is perfect because like I mentioned I drive by it.

I was disappointed. Not by the service but the silly rules at the bar. Only 1 drink every 30 mins. That's ridiculous! 2 drinks, that would've been better. I like to have a drink and a beer at the same time while I Gamble. The machines were not that hot, which makes it worse. The point is to entertain, whether it'd be through spirits, shows, or gambling. The bartenders were awesome. I understand that they have to follow the rules so I don't hold it against them. Being a trucker from Las Vegas and going to casinos across America, I expected better. Unfortunately, I will not be back.

We didn’t stay at Del Lago, we drove up for the day from Geneva so I can’t comment on the rooms.I can say though that my wife and I have been to many many casinos and we had the best time in a long time at Del Lago! Outside of Vegas we rate Del Lago the best. We aren’t high rollers by any means, we typically take around 400 to loose between the two of us at a casino. We typically can loose this stake in an hour or less at casino’s not in Vegas. At Del Lago I started with a 20 dollar bill, played slots for 5 hours and left with 20 dollars more than I started with.My wife lost 50 after 5 hours of play playing by my side the entire time.Even though we weren’t big winners we played 4 to 5 times longer than we normally do at the casino and had a ton of fun!!It was the best day of our finger lakes trip! We would definitely go back to Del Lago cept it’s a little to far away from our home.

my boyfriend and I went to the casino for a date night. The staff was not very friendly except for the one bartender who was absolutely amazing and I wish I remembered her name. Just a forewarning, they do not cash in lottery tickets nor sell them. The games were fun. We were hoping to be able to snag a room to stay the night but the almost $400+ it would've cost for just one night was not reasonable for us.

Really nice variety of machines; while they are mostly newer they do have a few older ones which I personally appreciate. They finally changed how to get your free play which is huge because their kiosks are the worst. Service if you are stuck on a machine is slow though. They have great coffee available for self-service at the beverage stations. Plenty of bathrooms. A lot of parking and several entrances. It's right off of the thruway exit so it's convenient to get to.

We had a nice room with a bathroom that was bigger than our home bathroom with double sinks a separate vanity and a very nice shower. When we walk into the room they have a motion detector and most of the lights come on. When you open the double closet, lights also come on in there. King size bed very comfortable however the pillows were a little much for me, but that's my preference. We did not play, we were there for the eclipse. The front desk person was very professional. That was probably the most interaction we had a part from the restaurant we had dinner in which I reviewed separately. A good place to stay if you are interested in the finger lakes area.you to are near Cayuga lake and about 15 mins or so to Geneva and even closer to Seneca Falls.

I drop off my 74 y/o physically handicap father in-law and his motor scooter a couple times a week the staff has been really nice to him they helped with the door getting him inside and out of needed. He says the food is amazing He loves to talk to everyone the staff and the patrons and he has Gone to a couple shows here he loves it here to get away for a day

THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO BRING YOUR CHILDREN! There is no pool, no arcade. Nothing for a child to do. Unfortunately two years in a row my last night has had noisy children and adults in the adjoining room.del Lago is always nice. One elevator was out of service. So it was a bit of a pain. I was there four nights.

Slot play do not get he drinks, only table play so that was disappointing. We did not stay at the resort, only went to the casino. The restaurants are only open Thursday to Sunday which was disappointing. Parking was plentiful and easy. 1700 machines, so play was easy. Bar service was poor.

I stayed two nights here. When packing up a pair of my shorts to check out I noticed a spot. Yep; bedbug. I had placed the shorts on one of the chairs in the room. I lifted the chair cushion to inspect and you can see in the attached video that the chair was gross. The staff cleared one of the nights from my bill and that was a fair resolution for me. I still wouldn't recommend this place. The casino is a nice draw but it doesn't seem that the hotel is really considered. Having filthy furniture like this is unacceptable at any level.

My boyfriend and I went here to attend a show at the vine to see Andrew Schulz the life tour. The venue was huge. The drinks were great and everyone had a blast. We cannot wait to attend more shows in the future!

Filmore Glen State Park is modest in size and less crowded than other state parks. The waterfall is conveniently close to the parking area. Worth a trip for locals it’s under an hour away from Ithaca’s larger more spectacular state parks.

Nice park with gorge ,waterfalls ,and a natural swimming pool. (Pool not open as yet but I see it will be very soon). Good bathhouse with dedicated dish wash area. Lots of hilly trails to hike and beautiful sights . Ten electric lots that are very roomy, paved, and flat .

Modest and less crowded than other state parks. The short walk to the waterfalls, during the summer, makes it more convenient for people with disabilities, the elderly, and little kids. The southern rim hike up the mountain has been closed off to the public for some time due to hazardous conditions.

Nice falls In Fillmore Glen state park. Hiking is up the sides of the gorge so it’s not for anyone with health issues. A pavilion and small campground is also near the falls. Very nice park.

Fillmore Glen State Park is a tranquil retreat nestled in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes region. This state park is an oasis of cool, dense woods crowding into a long, narrow gorge, offering visitors a chance to escape into nature’s embrace. The park’s hiking trails wind through unique geological formations and provide spectacular views, including the sight of five stunning waterfalls and a botanically rich glen. With amenities like 60 campsites, a stream-fed swimming pool, and fishing in the Owasco Lake inlet, Fillmore Glen State Park is perfect for both adventure seekers and those looking to relax. Whether you’re setting up camp, taking a refreshing swim, or exploring the rugged beauty of the gorge, this park is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the peaceful side of the Empire State.

Fillmore Glen State Park is a very nice state park. The best part of the park is hiking the gorge trail. It has beautiful scenery, picturesque waterfalls, and is nice and cool on a summer day. The gorge trail is a moderate hike, with few challenging spots. If you are just hiking the gorge trail it is a 2.5 mile out and back hike.The trails around the gorge are nice, but don’t offer the same beauty that the gorge trail does. Compared to other similar NY State Parks like Watkins Glen, this trail is easy and much less crowded. Parking here for day use is easy. There are campsites in the park and they looked nice. Add this hike to the list of the most gorgeous places in Central New York.

Beautiful place to bad the trails were closed which i understand bc ice but they had no mention of this on there site so it was a let down an i wish they comunicsted better however i still plan on coming back in april an see how it is in full an hopefully raise my review score

This is a nice small town state park. We have a 35 foot 5th wheel and we were a little too big for the park. We were able to get around OK but there are some.low hanging branches and we had to go slow to maneuver around. It was nice to have a convenience store/gas station/subway restaurant across the street. We did the drive up to the dam and walked partner the trail and saw the falls. We had our dog with us and he was allowed to all parts of the park.

This was my first time visiting and it's such a beautiful state park! Only 8 dollars to get in for the day. They have three main trails, the Gorge Trail, the North Rim Trail and the South Rim Trail. We walked the Gorge Trail and looped to the North Rim Trail. Both together was about 5.77 miles. I have two little ones and they were able to make it in about three hours. There are a lot of stairs and muddy areas, but the views during and at the end are absolutely worth the work you put in. I would recommend over and over.

The trail through the glen is a hidden gem. Very much reminds me of Watkins Glen. On this cloudy and rainy Saturday I had the glen all to myself. The fall colors and stream through the glen were beautiful.

Temp drops several degrees in the Gorge- refreshing in the summer! Great hike, I'd say medium difficulty, or less, depending - definitely not handicapped accessible. Bring your suit if you want to chill in the crystal clear flowing water!

Found this park after asking a local for a good place to swim. The day was hot, and it was a perfect escape from the heat. The swimming hole was clean, shady and refreshing, with lifeguards present. Bathrooms very clean. The water is cold! Although we did not stay there, the campground also looked clean and pleasant.

Fantastic park, the cabins were awesome and reasonably priced. Lots of things to keep the kids busy including the swimming hole (which opened early due to heat, so thanks for that!), the playground and of course the glen itself. Quiet campground, clean bathrooms and friendly staff. We will be back for sure.

Fillmore Glen State Park is an absolute treasure near Moravia, NY. There are multiple trails, but the gorge trail seems to be the most popular. There are beautiful views, especially of the multiple falls and bridges. There are sections that can get pretty slippery when wet, so proper footwear is recommended. I would consider the trails to be considered more moderate than easy with some significant elevation changes.

Amazing hikes and beautiful views around every corner. Planned a last minute trip and was blown away by how gorgeous this park was. The camping was level and easy to access. I loved driving through the creek. Saw a wedding and a few soccer matches. Quite a busy park when I was there early autumn.

Amazing park with excellent well maintained trails. Beautiful campground and pavilion facilities. Clean and well maintained. Staff could not have been friendlier. A must visit!Dog Friendly - yes bring rabies certificate and must be leashed all times.Playground - YES awesome onesPicnic areas are plentiful bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

This is a beautiful park! We were on a road trip when we decided to stop, but we are so glad we did! We hiked the Gorge trail. The trail is well maintained and obvious where you should be.The trail follows the creek through the gorge and provides beautiful views of the interesting creek bed, mini waterfalls, and a few larger waterfalls. Please note that there is a long set of stairs near the beginning of the trail that takes you up an incline of a little over 100 feet. The trail after that is mostly flat, but there are smaller sets of stairs along the path going up or down. The trail crisscrosses the creek several times on the path using bridges. The path is mostly a dirt path, but there are some rock covered areas.If you are in the Ithaca, NY area, I highly recommend taking the time to visit this park!

Very nice park. Washrooms were always clean and tidy. Showers were too. There is a dish washing station in each of the washrooms. There of a play ground for the kids. Electric sites were paved and level. The hiking trails were very well marked plenty of trail blazers. Several trails to choose from that were easy enough for us amateurs to tackle. There are different events going on at the park , we lucked out for a huge car show on the Labour Day weekend (Sunday) that had a ton of beautiful cars to view. Would definitely come back again.

We love coming here to take the kids swimming, walk the trails, and let them play on the huge playground. Many of the campsites do not have power, but at least one of the loops does. Power hookups are 20, 30, and 50 amp for the ones that do. Water hookups are shared. We will probably camp here at some point now that I've looked around and found the shady sites :)

Thise who want to see the water can take the gorge trail. Replica cabin is also on site with some cool artifacts from Fillmore’s time. Plenty of room for camping and there’s a swimming hole as well right before take the gorge trail.

Great park for camping and hiking. 2 trails, north and south rim, its just over 2.5 miles for the loop, take you to top of gorge where you will find a damn and some great views. If you take the south rim trail, you will have to walk on the road near the top for a little bit to get back on the trail to the top. You will know when bc the trail stops lol. Also a few trails like the gorge, 1.3 mile, and waterfall loop trail, about half mile, are great hikes if you're with pets or small children.

BEST PLACE TO SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY.We have been to many resorts up in this area and found this one the BEST. Staff is very friendly and helpful . The property is near and clean - follow good sanitation practices. The place is not crowded like other places - Stay and have fun doing many activities available on the property. RECOMMENDED 100%

This was my our first time visiting this resorts and let just say that we were totally blown away!!The rooms where vary spacious and they had everything that we needed for our 4 day excursion. The only thing I think that needs to be updated are the beds. The upstairs suite where we where staying had a queen size bed, and we found it rather to fall a sleep. If all of there rooms had king size beds that would be perfect.Despite the small bed we really enjoyed our stay and we plan on going back some time soon.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel a few weekends ago for my two sons baseball tournament. After the day was over the boys wanted to go to the pool and relax. Once they got there, they saw the water park and they immediately wanted to go and do the slides and the wave pool. I had issues with purchasing the online tickets but the manager lauren was amazing! She was able to help me with every question i had and really mad a seemingly difficult process easy!

All the elements for a 5-star experience were in place but execution came up short all around.We booked a room with a balcony in advance and were informed shortly before arrival that all balconies were off limits because they had been deemed unsafe. I do not believe we were provided any price reduction or credit for this change in room condition.We arrived at the lodge to find our room had been locked from the inside and needed maintenance to break in for us. When we were finally let in, we found that--despite it being unsafe--previous guests had been on the balcony because there was vomit and a towel out there (pic attached). It took considerable time for that to get cleaned because the door handle to the balcony was broken and the bolt lock required a special key that only certain maintenance staff had. So that was gross.The water park was fun for the younger kids but a bit boring for the teenagers. The shuttle to the mountain was mostly convenient but randomly went on "lunch break" without coverage and would leave people standing for 30 minutes.The mountain was in decent shape given the recent warm weather but many lifts were old and slow. Kids 6 and under ski for free, which was great. Lift ticket and rental prices were reasonable otherwise as well.The lodge offers complimentary ski and board storage, which is helpful. But we returned one evening and were told that no one was available and to just take our skis up to our room, which we did. The next morning, we were sternly spoken to by several staff on our way back out with our gear (which was one pair of 80cm skis for our young child).I don't think we'll be back and wouldn't recommend it to others until they dial in their level of service to match their prices.

We held our new years eve wedding at the Lookout and Chelsea and her team went above and beyond to make everything we wanted happen. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and venue. The day went incredibly smoothly, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The venue was gorgeous and comfortably held about 170 people. It was nice and relaxing to be able to get ready with my girls at the venue before all the action in the beautiful bridal suites. The ski slopes in the background made for an amazing backdrop for all of my photos and the venue sparkled at night from all the candles and softly lit chandeliers. The fireworks at midnight gave it that extra special touch and made us feel truly taken care of. You cannot go wrong with using Greek Peak resort or the lookout for your next event or wedding!

We stayed at Greek Peak for Land Rover's 75th anniversary celebration. I have to say, compared to another ski resort we've stayed at, this one was much better.Our room had a queen bed and pull out sofa bed with a fully equip kitchen. It felt clean and we had a nice big balcony with table and chairs.There were only two restaurant options and a little Waffle Shack opened daily. The hotel had a nice heated pool and hot tub. I actually thought it was better than paying for the indoor water park where the water was cold. My kids enjoyed the wave pool but they were too little to do any of the big slides. Water park tickets were worth it for the kids but if I was on an adult only trip, I wouldn't pay for the water park. The hotel pool was the better option in my opinion.The resort had an adventure center with zip lines, mountain coaster, and other climbing activities. We only took advantage of the mountain coaster. There was also an arcade connected to the indoor pool. The kids enjoyed the arcade and it was pretty inexpensive to buy tickets for the games.

Beautiful location and lots of things to do. I am here in a conference and was placed in what was described as a triple room. It was my understanding that each person would have a separate room and bed. This, however, was not the case. The room has 1 bed, a Murphy bed, and a pull out sofa. I understand now why they have a spa downstairs, because after sleeping all of 2 non consecutive hours on a thin loud Murphy bed, my neck is out. Hopefully the ibuprofen kicks in. Honestly, in my opinion, the first thing a resort needs to consider is making sure their patrons have a comfortable sleep. The rest, although good, just isn’t enjoyable if you are tired from lack of sleep. There is nothing like sitting in a conference room for a few hours on little sleep and a stiff neck. The blanket provided for the sofa and Murphy bed was as thin as a sheet and added to my discomfort.

Enjoyed our stay. Beautiful building and grounds. Many outside activities even before ski season. Food and drink were wonderful. Room is pedestrian but large. Great place to go off season. People are especially kind and helpful

The room was great but definitely needed some updates, food was amazing and staff was extremely helpful. The views are amazing and the water park was great fun for the kids.

The parking lot is a disaster, potholes like the moon. The quad lift is nice, but all the other lifts are beat. The new RFID system is great, very convenient. The slopes are generally well groomed. Not crowded at all during the week. If they would upgrade the lifts and fix the parking lot, it would definitely be worth the ticket price.

Room and the service was lovely. We had a loft bedroom, a full kitchen, living area, 2 bathrooms, and fire place. The state parks were so beautiful with the fall foliage! At the adventure center we did the zip line tour which was lots of fun!! We had a couples massage at the spa, which isn't the best we've ever had. The staff almost seemed uncomfortable at times. Also, the Steak House was nothing to brag about. We waited almost an hour for our food due to the fact that there were 2 weddings that day. Not super convenient for anyone else staying there due to the fact that the ceremonies were held right outside of the front lobby.

Great variety of terrain. They make improvements all the time. 3 new trails added this year. Way less lift lines than comparable resorts. Fun water park, mountain coaster, tubing, and zip lines in summertime. Good at both restaurants, nice spa that my wife loves. Outstanding disc golf course around the lake, as well X-country & snow shoe trails. If you don’t like Greek Peak you don’t like ice cream!

Stayed in a suite shared with friends. The setup is really cute. Service was mediocre for how much you are paying for the hotel stay, water park passes, lift passes, and food. Requested room to be cleaned several times. There was no follow-through. Every time I called the front desk, I felt like I was being an inconvenience. The hotel restaurant had good food but was greeted with an attitude for wanting to put in a pick-up order. There were signs everywhere saying to scan the QR code to order food... Every time we did, it stated they were not accepting orders. Why bother saying you can order then? The waterpark area was nice. Very well manned with lifeguards. Loved that! Overall, the kids had fun, and that's all that mattered. Just wish they were a little kinder to the adults paying out the thousands of dollars to be there.

Went Mtn Biking here! Had an absolute blast! Kira was awesome, professional, and she had excellent cosumer service. She was who we bought our day pass from. All the lift operators were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place 👍 👍

I booked a "Mom to Be Massage" they had absolutely NO accommodations for a prenatal massage, the massage therapist had no suggestions on how to make it more comfortable, when she asked if pressure was good I expressed it wasn't and she continues to pinch/barely apply any pressure. I had originally booked a 80 minute after 10 minutes I said I could only do a 50 minute massage- she ended the massage at 43 minutes. It was awful I left more sore than arriving. I was VERY disappointed in the spa services.

Family reunion. Lots of laughs. Sadness for 4 we have lost. Had reunion Greek Peak 2018. Great place to have it. Accommodates adults and kids without necessity of finding things to do.

We visited Trax for the brunch on Father's Day. Not too busy. Horrible service. Food not great. After finally getting waited on. It took forever to get our drinks. And never got a coffee re-fill. Ordered cinnamon pancakes, but received french toast. Took them back. Finally, he got the pancakes after everyone else was done eating and ready to ditch the joint. The bloody Mary was delish and wanted a second one, but never saw the waitress again until she brought the bill. She did take the pancakes off of the bill, buy it was too late to eat them when we finally received them. And tell a hungry 8yr old that she had to eat off everyone else's plates. Horrible and will never go back. I can't even imagine how bad it is when it's busy. But maybe that's why it's not busy.

Patty was absolutely amazing, she was kind and respectful! She made sure our stay was amazing. Georgy was absolutely amazing she made great drinks and was so polite and kind! Would definitely recommend

First time with family. Great location with great amenities. Rooms are spacious as standalone, we got the cedar suite and it was amazing. Slopes are a shuttle away 2-3 mins drive. They have a great tuning/rental area, slopes are well groomed. Wish it was more packed or snow making despite natural snowfall. Kids had a blast as first time skiers. Prices are absolutely fair.

Rental bikes are reasonable, the worker showed up late delaying our morning, but for my first downhill mtb experience this was a decent place to learn, the trails on the green were a little washed out even more washed on the tech trails but again i cant compare to anywhere else. Nonethe less the place was not to croweded and met some real cool people.

My new favorite family resort. From tubing, mountain coaster, water park, and great skiing for even these north east conditions. I wish this place great success but also hope they don’t get crowded like mountains of i87

Nice place to get away. Hotel rooms are like going back to year 2001. 32 inch TV, DVD player. Elevator display surely will put you back in some prehistoric times. Overpriced for what you get. Driveway around the parking is a dirt road with large and numerous potholes, which is such a turn off. Forget about your white shoes.

Great experience! All the food is very expensive, but if you bring your own snacks for your kids, you will be in good shape. Other than that the waterpark experience and hot tub is A1.

Best groomed ski trails in Central New York. friendly staff, friendly lift attendants, short lift lines, many trail options, summer water slides, reasonable restaurant prices and options. Parking area needs paving to make the experience top grade. It can be a muddy mess with deep holes that result in muddy vehicles, shoes and ski boots.

Right across the ski place. Suites were all clean, good repair, solid wood furnishings and cabin look. Staff was super friendly. Steak restaurant was nice, the hot tub in the indoor Waterpark was awesome for the adults in our party of 26. And the little mini Starbucks in the lobby was a hit too. Would def go back.

What a Gem of a location. Hosted a Real Estate Conference with 35 attendees. Ambiance, service and food were excellent.Location is easily accessible to major highway and the Lodge was beautiful. Nice rooms, with "Lodgey" decor and fireplaces was a really nice touch.Free shuttle transportation to Greek Peak Ski Mountain, with super friendly staff (shout to Shannon). Special thanks to Gina and Kyla for making our event successful.

Greek Peak made a tremendous early season effort getting open early. Leak testing dozens of guns and laying it down for a decent opening run - top to bottom. Nice snow texture. Was impressive considering it was opening weekend. No cookies to speak of and could take a pair of dull skis with minimal edging through the snow. Well done. Had not been to Greek Peak in over 32 years and glad I did!

My son loved it, he enjoyed the indoor water park, the sledding and he really liked the chicken tenders at the steakhouse. It's a good place to go for a short weekend trip. There is plenty to do for all ages.

We have stayed at and skied Greek Peak for years. And we will continue for many more. The lodge provides an Adirondack feel but offers Starbucks coffee and a spa. We know of serval family that go annually because it so perfect to get away and keep everyone busy. Great place to enjoy all that winter offers or stay inside and snuggle by the fire.

A fun place to bring the kids for an afternoon.Short story: our kids loved it and it was worth it for us. Nothing especially stand out about it, but was perfect for our afternoon trip.Long story: We went on a Thursday afternoon (4pm-8pm). My 5yo and 2.5yo boys loved it. The kiddie pool wasn’t open at first, they said due to short staffing, but after a little bit it opened up and was open until about 7pm. Luckily he did great on the bigger kid area, but it wasn’t busy. If there were a lot of bigger kids running around on it, he might not have done as well with it.There are 4 larger slides: 2 that required being 42” or taller (they advised adults not to ride these because I would probably hit my head…lol), a larger one that required a tube that you could ride single or double and required being at least 42”, and the fourth required being at least 48” tall.The wave pool was nice enough, there’s a pool and a hot tub that are indoor/outdoor that are fun.The food was classic theme park quality, but we expected it and didn’t mind. I paid $12 for 4 chicken tenders, a soda and fries-which isn’t too bad in my opinion. There are also a few other restaurants nearby that we didn’t try.We dried off and ended the night with a half hour in the small arcade, which was a fun extra activity.Overall not a bad place, fun for kids, and we would come back.

A pretty nice indoor water park, not so big but good enough for kids from 6 months to 8-9 old to have fun. I wouldn’t say older kids because of limited adventurous water rides. Tickets not very comparably for playing adult or kids over 42 inches $42 compared to six flag resort at about $50 but more luxury rides and options. But non-playing adult is only $18. One specialty worth mentioning is their outdoor heated pool which is awesome during winter time and hot spring (smaller size)Also got arcade games available. Food is average pricing but for hamburger is only bread and beef patty, no lettuce, pickle, tomato or anything.

Great time had by everyone! Waterparks offers many play area options, slides, water basketball, wave pool as well as dining. This is a great addition to a ski trip. You can even swim outside when it’s cold or enjoy the hot tub after skiing.

Perfect for parents wanting to relax while their young ones play....my daughter is almost 6 and nephew 10, perfect for them. My son came when he was 14 and liked it but I wouldn't say kids older than him would enjoy it as much since it's small and rides are for smaller kids mostly.

We had a great time, everything was open and clean! The staff was attentive and polite, especially Maui. He did a fantastic job meeting our needs!The entire evening was fun and relaxing!!

My son loved it and had a blast. From an adult perspective it needs some updating. The heated pool is amazing!! The staff was great!

A cool water park, but a lot of delayed maintenance and a number of the water features are broken

Small, but fun. $28 after 4:00pm, but only stayed 2 hours.

Awesome for something to do in the winter... The outside pool is the best in the cold!

Lots of fun a little pricey but my kid had a great time

I really wanted to learn more about Harriet Tubman. Her story is truly one of faith, heartbreak, and perseverance. It was a wonderful tour and was very informative. I learned so much more about this magnificent woman. I also believe we had a "visitor" during the tour inside one of the property homes.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Harriet Tubman home and museum! They have tours at 10 am and 2 pm. The tour was $7/adult and lasted approximately 2 hours. Very informative, and Reverend Carter was extremely knowledgeable and gave an excellent tour.4 stars because we would have liked to see more of the Harriet Tubman home specifically, but it was under renovations when we visited.

Always fascinating story of the Underground that secreted the slaves away from the terrible life of the slaves in previous century. Slaves have existed since man, but that doesn't make it okay. It's a must see. Make your Reservation. Cheap. 5 buck. But call. Make your reservation. And be on time. 10 am and 1 pm. And be on time

Harriet Tubman has been my hero since grade school. Seeing where she lived and hearing about her extraordinary life was amazing. Paul, the tour guide goes above and beyond to tell her story. Thank you Paul, for believing in making her story known to others. She was a truly a treasure.

An amazing woman, began as a slave, was a true American hero, recognized by the U.S. Government! Learned so much. Great presentation.

I enjoyed everything about this visit!! The cemetery is beautiful as well as very interesting.

Excellent tour and presentation on Harriet Tubman. Christine did a wonderful job!

One of the highlights of my family’s trip to the area, unanimously agreed upon by all 5 of us! Paul has a warmth and enthusiasm about him that instantly gets you comfortable during the tour, and the love and knowledge he has on Harriet really brings her to life. I don’t think my attention has been completely captured like that for quite a long time. I learned so much about her and have a renowned awe and appreciation for this incredible woman. Definitely definitely visit, chat with Paul, and donate some funds to this important site! I hope to visit again when the additional projects being worked on are completed, God willing :)

The small exhibition in the visitors center starts coming to life when your host starts telling about Mrs. Tubman / Davids. The host could easily starts his own cabaret show ;-) His knowledge about the life of Mrs. Tubman / Davids, is excellent. His storytelling is one of a kind and really worth your time. So make sure you are there a bit before the tour starts, so you can walk around yourself in the visitor center. Because the tour is a seated event in front of a long time line.Don’t miss this opportunity!!!

Forever grateful to the people that keep this tour running. It is key to note that this experience is funded and maintained by a church. There is no state support. Any criticisms anyone has about staffing and tour times should start there first. The tour is phenomenal, though small and in transition, and packed with information about one of the greatest contributors to American history. Just to be in a space where Harriet spent time is incredible. I can't wait to return when the home has been restored.

Absolutely worth a visit. Incredibly engaging and informative presentation by Rev. Paul Gordon Carter - he'll captivate you with his storytelling style and educate you without a single yawn. Very few people have this gift!

There is so much to learn here! This historic location deserves so much more praise and support than it receives! My classmates and I from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) visited this site as a part of a week-long research visit through Central New York. Our class was focused on the history of social activism in the 19th century, especially in the Abolition and Women’s Suffrage movements. Considering Harriet’s contributions to both of these social movements, let’s just say that it would be an understatement to say that our experience here was special. Harriet Tubman Davis does not get the credit she deserves! Today, we can help to rectify that injustice by visiting and supporting this well-preserved/restored location. To everyone who contributes to the operation of this site and the preservation of this powerful woman’s story, on behalf of UTSA, thank you so very much.

Amazing tour told through dramatic oration. The cost for adults is $7. Tours are held 10AM/2PM. You should call to reserve. Be prepared to want to give more than admission to support needed continued reatoration for buildings. The heart of Harriet is definitely felt on site.

This was like stepping back in history. Harriet Tubman was such an amazing woman. To see where she lived was a great moment. We could only see the outside of the house and barn, but they also have a wonderful center and a tour guide who tells the history very well. Definitely worth going.

We stopped by while driving from Canada and so we showed up late. Just 10min before the museum building was closing. Was still allowed to go in even with our little doggy. Friendly people. The houses outside can be viewed after the museum closes but the inside of the homes is being renovated. We only got to see the outside of the homes but it was still a great experience to be able to see where history happened.

The house you see on the tour itself isn't where she lived but where she housed people she helped, and is too small to justify a trip specifically for that, but the presentation on her life story was one of the best presentations I've ever experienced and well worth the $7.

Awesome experience. We were driving through Arburn, NY, headed to Canada. We had no idea we were going to pass through this town. What an awesome experience and well worth the stop. Great part of history and the knowledge you gain from just reading what they have available to read. Go, go now, you will not be disappointed.

This was a moving experience, a good time to reflect on the life of Harriet Tubman and all her work, nursing, military service, underground railroad, business owner. The list is longer than many realize. Paul, who gives the tour, and has given the tour for over 30 years, is wonderful in bringing Harriet Tubman to life. To say he was informative is an understatement. Thank you. Everyone should visit here, and give some thought....

Amazing site! The building itself is just an artifact of the past. However, the 2pm tour by the park rangers was wonderful! The history and context that they provided was enlightening and I learned a good deal about the "Female Moses" that I was unaware of before. This site and tour are a must have experience for anyone who is interested in American history. Highly recommend!

What an awesome way to begin Black History Month. The Orator was remarkable.Thank you, bring the entire family.This is edutainment!

If you are on a roadtrip through New England you definitely need to stop at Harriet Tubman House. The couple who tells the story about Harriet is super nice. Also be aware of the visiting time. First he will tell you about Harriets biography in an extraordinary way of storytelling! It was an experience we wont forget. After she will show you around the property and the house. Put it on your To-See-List!

Phenomenal.It’s been a day since our visit and this experience has become engrained in me. The story telling is quite encapsulating and delivered with a powerful reverence. You’ll be pulled into Harriett’s life in a way you weren’t expecting, and you’ll leave a little different. You’ll have felt the weight of her pain in your hand - that aspect is a necessary heartbreaking lesson that should stick with you. You will laugh at times but always in the context of a life of her courage and struggle.The museum itself is well laid out, with many informative and easy to understand stories and a detailed timeline with context. Metal folding chairs are provided for the very powerful and moving presentation. Following you’ll go on a brief tour of an adjacent home from the grounds containing period like items.Highly recommended.

This was so interesting and the guy who runs the tour is the best tour guide I’ve had. He made it so interesting and engaged with us all. It was honestly underpriced for what you got. Next time we are there I know I will visit again just for the presentation given.

I truly enjoyed the visit to this historical site. The tour guide shared many interesting facts about Mother Harriet’s life and had us captivated as well as laughing at some of the stories. The life of Harriet Tubman was astounding and inspiring; but also a grave reminder of the history that plagues this nation. We were not able to enter one of the buildings as it is being repaired. A second building we were able to partially enter. The visitor center contained a timeline of her life and other information related to the abolitionist movement and the civil war. Even though we couldn’t enter all of the buildings, it was well worth the visit. And I can’t wait to return after some of the repairs take place.

Very interesting! The staff is so knowledgeable and passionate about their work. It's a guided tour only and was very informative. They give you plenty of time to look at everything and ask questions. The house and contents were beautiful!

Didn't go inside. Had reservations at Tubman's home. But we toured the park and surround property

Awesome staff, our tour guide was very informative and helpful. We were able to take our time going through the house. The house itself is amazing lots of greatly preserved items from the past. The architecture of it is simply stunning. Great way to spend a rainy day.

Very interesting history about a player in the political arena during the time proceeding and following the civil war. Lots of famous connections and a very interesting backstory to the purchase of Alaska.

Fabulous historic house. 90% of the items in the house are original to the Seward family. He was the Secretary of State for Lincoln. They do a great job. It's definitely worth it.

Pati our guide was great, we learned so much. I never knew the history of the town I was born in.

Great tour. Lots of information. Does require standing for long periods and stairs. It's totally worth it if you are able.

Very hot, and our guide would spend 15 minutes in one room. Tough to stand that long.Someone needs to tell him Sherman marched to the sea not grant

We took a tour of this beautiful Mansion a few months ago. Being born in Auburn and working there for several years, the visit was of special interest to me. I have been previously but this was the first visit for my spouse. What a beautiful place. Rooms have been kept in tact with many of the imentities the Sewards enjoyed. Secretary Seward was a real part of history. As a young boy I remember attending the parade in Auburn commemorating the Alaska purchase which Mr. Seward was responsible for. Great politician, Statesman and Orator, these were all part of his persona. Letters from Lincoln and his carriage are all included. After the visit a short drive to Fort Hill Cemetery completes the journey. While in Auburn a visit to the Harriet Tubman homestead, tops off a perfect day!

Wonderful tour, 3 floors brimming with history.

Get ready for an abundance of history that draws you in from the very 1st room - who knew?

Really nice visit. Sam, the docent, told lively stories and the house is filled with authentic pieces from the Seward family

This is a great historical gem! The Seward's did not discard the items they owned, they stored them and now the fill the house. The docent that took us on an hour and a half tour made this history come alive. We've been to many historical homes over the years and I believe this is at the very top. If you get to Auburn, don't miss this opportunity! If this review was helpful, please give it a like.

My history class from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) loved our tour of this site! Our guide Jeff is a wealth of knowledge and has an obvious passion for the history of the Seward family. We were also joined by a pair of interns who enhanced our appreciation for the immense collection of artifacts and their stories here. Our class was especially curious about 19th Century social activism in the abolition and women’s suffrage movements, and Jeff had just as much information to offer about Frances as he did about William. Don’t be afraid to ask about Frances, or even the family’s ties to Harriet Tubman, for that matter. So much to learn here!

Love the Seward House and the staff. Our storyteller for the haunted history tour was wonderful. An interesting and fun evening.

Fascinating tour. The docent really knew her stuff. We learned about Mrs. Seward's abolition campaign and work with Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad. The story of Seward's folly was given in great detail. Everything in the museum is from Seward's actual life and times.

The tour guide was simply amazing. Very, very interesting family that shaped history in ways that I was unaware of. Bummed out that the house is not being maintained better. It’s a real gem.

Nice to see and hear the history of the family and the house. You get to see pretty much the whole house. We had an awesome tour guide, tons of information and very friendly.

Just stop while driving back home .From the little time we spent walking the main street, I can just imagine how nice it is when all the shops are open.Definitely will have to make a weekend out of it.

Okay, for starters the water is crystal clear! How have I lived in the Finger Lakes region and never knew this was here...?! This lake is literally breathtaking. From the boat launch, to downtown Skaneateles, to all of the beautiful houses along the lake, this is gorgeous! I dropped in at the boat launch with a friend, and we kayaked all the way up to downtown Skaneateles, hopped out, and had lunch downtown. The entire day was fantastic and this is a place I will always return to because it’s so relaxing. On the north side of the lake - there are some sand bars so you can hop out and go swimming if you’re on a boat. Or, in our case, we pulled our kayaks to the edge and hopped out and went swimming. Couldn’t have been more perfect! The water is so clear, you can see fish swimming and they’ll even swim up to your kayak. The whole experience was so fun.

skaneateles lake and the sherwood inn has a nice tour see them everyday with plenty of tourist they come by charter boat lucky buck fishing charters

Perfect Picnic spot near Syracuse. It has got loads of amazing restaurants to eat.

Skaneateles Lake is a true gem. One of the cleanest lakes in the US. Crystal clear water. Great fishing, boating, swimming. It's heaven.

Wonder why it took us so long to discover this beautiful lake and town. Lake is crystal clear! Town is full of shops and restaurants.

Absolutely gorgeous! The lake is just beautiful, and we love walking around the quant town.

Beautiful lake and surrounding area. Plenary of places to stay around the lake via AirBnB or Vrbo. Less than an hour from Ithaca and many falls are nearby with good trails for hiking.

We just drove past, but the public access near the Sherwood inn, but the view was BEAUTIFUL. The Village is historical but very nice, your even able to see the mountains from the public access to the lake! Will have to stop here soon.

We LOVE the zoo, especially the penguin exhibit. It’s so peaceful to just sit and watch them swim around!The new Jr. Vet Clinic is really cool, too! It’s inside so it was nice to get a break from the heat for a few minutes while the kids explored all the fun vet toys.If you’re going to go more than once in a year, you should get a membership. It’s definitely worth the price!

Very surprised at the variety of animals they had.To have elephants, leopards, camels, wolves, eagles, penguins, monkeys and many more in the middle of the city is very impressive.The size of the zoo isn’t huge, but I liked it because it keeps it interesting and you’re not spending half your time trying to reach the next attraction. It took us about 1-2 hours to see everything.The admission is very reasonable ($9 adults, $5 kids), and parking is free.The kids and adults will love it.

For me and my son to get in, cost less than $20. It's a nice place to take the family. However, you can't feed or pet the animals, so if that's what you're going for, forget it. Some of the animals, we couldn't even see because of the location. They do have a place to order lunch. Food wasn't too bad, but we went on a holiday and it was super busy, so the wait was long. The prices are a little high. They also have a gift shop as well. Prices are as you would expect at any gift shop though.

Absolutely love this zoo. Great pricing, well kept, staff care about the animals, the exhibits are laid out well for viewing and for animals to be safe and happy in their "true" environment. Multiple viewing areas for most animals. Different things always planned throughout the day such as the elephant walks and primate talks. Definitely recommend. Fun for all ages!

We came to the zoo on a rainy day, and it was an EXCELLENT experience. It's easy to see many of the exhibits from indoors, and most of the larger enclosures also had viewing areas with rooves. The animals did not seem to mind the rain, and it was easy to see anything we wanted with no crowds! The animals also seemed very well cared for. There were many staff members giving talks, and we were able to learn a lot about the penguins and sloths this way. My 4 year old was able to walk all day without complaint, and the cafe had a variety of food choices, including vegetarian options. If we lived closer, I would love to have a membership here.

Many exhibits are closed, all birds- weren't open to public. For $5.00/person it was good. It would be nice if there were elevated viewing for the toddlers. Pengins were Inside, in a dark area so the toddlers couldn't see well. No monkeys, no tigers...we had out of town guests so it was disappointing. Being outside on a nice spring day with a chilly wind was a good thing.

My company had a managers meeting at the zoo's large conference room. Tables were setup with white table clothes and we had a make your own lunch buffet during our meeting. At the end of our meeting a zookeeper introduced us to Muppet the porcupine. Very cool 😎. After the meeting we all got tickets to enter the zoo and walk around and see the exhibits. It was a fun and beautiful walk around to see all the different animals.

First time visiting the zoo, and it exceeded my expectations! I was pleasantly surprised by the number of families bringing their children along. This zoo is definitely kid-friendly. Personally, I enjoyed seeing the elephants, especially the twins that were born in October 2022. My favorite was the red panda.Overall, everything was great. However, I believe the cafeteria could improve by offering more snacks such as churros, cotton candy, and ice cream.Parking was convenient, and the entrance fee was reasonable.

Great zoo! Fun for the whole family! There were buildings and shaded areas to rest out of the sun. Plenty of seating along the paths and various views to each enclosure. We weren't able to see the red wolves, amur tiger, or snow leopard and there were some animals we were only able to glimpse. But we had fun regardless.

This Zoo is fine, very organized and clean. The animals looked save. The tigers and elephants are very beautiful. But I don't seen lions it's the shame. In overall there is a lot a interest species. In other side, I seen a lot a kids get funn in this Zoo, it is glad to see that.

Very nice and small zoo. Although its small and does not have an extreme amount of animals it does have some cool enclosures where you can get a close up look of the animals! I especially like the elephant enclosure where we were very close to the elephants. They apparently have twin elephants too!

I've been to this zoo twice and loved it both times. Our family recently visited from Canada, and we loved seeing all the animals. Most of the enclosures were fairly big, and we saw a lot of keepers putting in items for enrichment. We love the variety of animals and that you can learn about each one if you take the time to read the information in front of the enclosures.When we visited, it was HOT, so we absolutely LOVED and greatly appreciated the misting stations so we could keep cool.This zoo isn't huge, you could definitely see everything at a leisurely pace in 1 to 1.5 hours, but again, the variety of animals was great.There is PLENTY of seating, indoors and out, and there's a nice little cafe you can order a quick lunch.Last but not least, the price is right. Honestly, they could probably charge a little more, but we do appreciate a good deal, and visiting the Rosamond Gifford zoo was an absolute STEAL.Thank you for an amazing visit, and thank you for being a zoo that clearly cares for the wellbeing of the animals in your care.

What a nice mid sized zoo, very affordable at 9$ for adults. The Asian elephant exhibit is the best that I've seen, with active kind elephants craving your attention and a young female who loves to play with tires and toys. I experienced many beautiful moments today, with their tiger, octopus and bear. <3 Thank you guys!

Always a nice experience. The facility is kept immaculately. Animals are all in good condition. Many were pretty sleep this round so we didn't get to see several of the animals but that gives us a reason to go back!

I might be a little biased since I started volunteering at the zoo roughly a yr ago now, but I love how much they have done over the yrs. One thing I love is the education department has really done great at bringing interactive information to all ages. I've even gone to some of the programs both as a parent and as a participant for the adult zoo programs. Today was a perfect day as the weather was perfect and lots of animals were out and about. Love seeing how much our zoo cares for not just the animals but also teaching the importance of conservation for these and many other animals around the world.

Also, known as The Syracuse Zoo, is a hidden gem in Central New York. The exhibits are beautifully created and maintained to recreate the natural habitat of their animals.Everything from Elephants, Tigers, Monkeys, Koalas, Bears to various reptiles, the Aviary, even an octopus in their aquarium building delight the heart of everyone.Stop by their Website for information including feeding schedules and special events! I ADORE this Zoo!!!Less than an hour from most Finger Lake locations makes the zoo a must do on every itinerary. Being centrally located in New York it is the perfect day trip, as well. Conveniently located off 81, and in the heart of Syracuse, NY, your day at the zoo can be finished off by dinner in Little Italy or one of the other amazing restaurants located near by!

Love visiting this zoo. Many different animals to see. They are always making improvements here. We actually visited on a very busy day with lots of other patrons. It was our first time visiting on their annual Asian Elephant Extravaganza Day. The big bonus was seeing the new twin male elephant calves. We also were able to feed the ducks and Koi fish.

Spent the day with our granddaughter and had a great time! She showed us all of her favorite animals and things to see, as she's been here a few times. I was amazed by the space of some of the exhibits and the landscaping is beautiful. Not to mention the great views of around Syracuse and the admission prices are pretty fair considering all there is to see...highly recommend!

What a great little zoo! Clean, very well maintained, loved how geared it was towards kids' interactions with the environments. It's a small zoo, but it feels big! The grounds are beautiful. Loved the penguins and ducks. I didn't take many photos because we were too busy running around. Clean, accessible bathrooms and a nice cafe accompany the zoo. We didn't get to see their tiger because she'd just had babies!

There are quite a few zoos around in Syracuse but we decided to visit Rosamond Gifford. It's kind of funny that the zoo is right next to a neighborhood of houses, versus in Toronto where you have to trek further to visit the zoo.This zoo is about two hours to finish and I really appreciated the layout, which was easy to follow without missing any attractions and/or needing to go back and forth. Lots of the animals were very lively like the monkeys, tiger, and penguins. Their elephant area is also spectacular! The way they have made their viewing areas are also very well done as they were where the animals tend to like to rest and/be present. The animals looked very well treated and well-kept, for example, their donkey which didn't look ratchet like some other ones I've seen at other zoos. One of my favorite exhibits is their nocturnal area which was a bit of an "eye spy" experience.There's lots of parking in their lot.

This was one of the coolest zoos I have been to. When we went they had a dragon 🐉 all through out the park. Not sure if those will be temporary but they were cool to look at and hearing my son say wow look at that one it's big was priceless

excellent zoo. they put a lot of focus on both local and global conservation and the importance of ecosystems. they also have great animals, that didn't seem unhealthy or stressed. one of the best zoos I've been to in terms of well cared for animals and species variety. we also got super excited to see the huge koi!!!

A simple basic zoo that is good to go to when you want to just relax for the day. I do wish they had a petting area for the goats, and more birds in the inside area. Prices to get in are decent but be prepared for the high food prices and being forced to use a kiosk (no cash).

Some of the enclosures seem kind of cruel, but the zoo itself is nice. Definitely great for kids, but I wouldn’t give them your money otherwise. It’s zoos like this one that need to be shutdown! Their tiger enclosure was super small and there was nothing in the enclosure for the tigers other than trees. They also had the tigers separated. Also, they had about 10 flamingos in a super tiny room. There was almost no room for them to move around. As I said, great for families and kids, but you should avoid funding this place if you can.

Great for a couple hours afternoon outing! Small and quaint with so many animals to explore! We love all of them but the elephants are definitely our favorite! Had a great time with our 13 year old daughter.

The zoo we arrived at noon had a busy parking lot, but there were still places to park. We didn't have to queue when we went in, we bought tickets inside and soon started our visit. The design inside was great and the visit was not tiring, but I think I will come back again.

This zoo was affordable to enter and had a great selection of exhibits. The animals appeared healthy and lively. The whole place was clean and looked very beautiful. I didn't have time to see the aquarium, but I very much enjoyed my time here and plan on coming back in the spring.

Fanatic zoo, and the perfect size for a family with small children! We're about to go on our 3rd year of being members. My oldest is 2.5, and he has a blast every time he goes. Sometimes, on rainy days, we go for an hour just for the inside exhibits. We also love their events, like trick or treating at the zoo and breakfast with the Easter Bunny.

Had a great time walking around and seeing the animals. Only a few enclosures were closed so we got to see most of the animals. My one complaint is that there are no gluten free options if you want to eat there. All but one of the food places were closed even though it was the weekend so perhaps one of those places had gluten free options.

One of the better zoos I have visited in the country. They take care of the animals, they have nice and large enclosures and are clean. We always come here when visiting family as veterans/military and Thier families get free admission.

This zoo is fantastic! We saw so many animals we’ve never seen or even knew excited. Well priced and not too crowded for a Tuesday. Very well kept grounds with beautiful spaces for animals. The staff was friendly and helpful, ample parking and bathrooms with water fountains. The shop was great and so was the coffee shop, the only bummer is that they ran out of iced coffee. Lovely zoo!!!!

I love this zoo! Great size, good mix of indoor and outdoor exhibits, and lots of active animals. I have a membership and it’s for sure worth it. The weekends can be busy with kids but if you go close to closing time then you can avoid most of the gremlins.

Older zoo and facilities. It was nice but in dire need of updates and animals.(wasn’t a lot visible or exhibit was closed) The price of admission is appropriate for the experience. The indoor experiences can get crowded/comfy.

The family and I went there for the first time this weekend, and we loved it. The ticket prices were not bad. The kids loved all the animals, and so did my wife and I

I recently visited a really nice zoo that exceeded my expectations. The variety of animals was impressive, with species from all over the world. The sloths, in particular, were amazing and definitely a highlight of the trip. The enclosures were well-maintained, and the animals seemed healthy and well-cared for. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, perfect for families and animal lovers alike.

The best zoo in the state of New York. It was so clean and pleasant to walk through. And it doesn't smell like every animal took a dumb. Staff does incredible job keeping the place extremely clean. Because they care about there job.

Overall decent. We had fun. Octopus was off exhibit. But, the elephants were out and playing with the babies!

This was a lovely way to while away a few hours on a grey but temperate Saturday. There were a fair number of visitors but no lines or crowds. Admission is already pretty reasonable but also is reduced in January and February, so a regular adult ticket is just $5. The animals for the most part seemed to have decent space and enrichment, although the fennec fox in particular looked distressed and confined. The elephants have a good size space though they were all inside the pavilion when we visited. The loop path is a nice walk and accessible for mobility aids. There were a lot of benches along the way for resting as needed. The cafe is adequate for a quick snack, and the gift shop had a great selection of stuffed animals matching the animals at the zoo.

I was very impressed with the amount of animals that were available to see! There wasn't a ton of walking but still a reasonable size. The gift shop was also very affordable which I wasn't expecting. There were several different types of exhibits throughout the zoo. Overall I was very impressed! Will definitely be returning!Ticketing prices were also extremely affordable ($9 for adults and children 2 and under free) however unavailable to purchase ahead of time online.

I went as part of a conference. We had the zoo all to ourselves and was provided a clambake dinner that was made by an all female chef crew! The staff we kind and helpful. It's a nice zoo on the smaller side so it's not an all day affair. I don't live locally to Syracuse, but if I did I would definitely buy a seasons pass. It's nice and relaxing just to walk around and enjoy. They also offer a 5 course themed dinner once a month. I would go back to experience that.

Huge mall with lots of stores. Easy to get lost in. Eatery was nice, but seats were not too comfortable.Tried to eat at TGIF but got turned away due to us having a large group (7)

Great mall with a bit of everything for everyone. From great eats to hobby stores, they got it all. Even got plenty of fun interactive things for kids to do. There are so many restaurants that are dine in and amazing.

Had a great experience, so many options at the food court, many activities for kids. Got everything under one roof. Superb layout with its own unique touch. Roaming around was fun eventhough could not get into all the stores. Not so crowded even on the weekends because of the huge space it possess.

It is a very large Mall. Quite a variety of stores inside which is awesome! Good choices for restaurants as well. And seems to have plenty of parking. Also has fun things for kids to do such as ropes climbing, huge playground slide, WonderWorks, RPM raceway and so much more. Overall a good place to visit.

This is huge but no high end stores (Prada, Gucci, etc). There was an Apple store, Burlington, Dick’s Sporting Good’s etc. There is also a movie theater on the 3rd floor.It seems that they haven’t remodeled walkways but some the stores are very nice. They have a decent food court with Steakhouse and a Grill.There is a merry go round and laxer tag etc. Not much to do in Syracuse so if you like shopping then this is the place to be.

Huge mall, tons to see and do. It's definitely a place to bring your kids and burn energy. Plus, as you enter you can take pictures by the I heart New York sign, I would recommend

It was an impressive experience to visit Destiny Mall for the first time. It’s a huge mall and has everything under one roof! Great for families and kids. I really enjoyed shopping, eating and walking around! Great brand options. Definitely worth the visit 🤩

This place is huge and has so much to do and so many places to shop. There's food, games in the arcade, and lots of stores. There was what they called an indoor amusement park as well. Can't wait to go back. I gave a four because the bathroom doors didn't lock in the ladies room and the food court seating is extremely small and hard for bigger people to fit in. If you're going to visit this place for more than a quick stop and shop I recommend making it a day trip so you have time to experience everything this place has to offer.

The Mall is not as crowded and exciting as it used to be. It’s always a pleasure shopping over there though. People are awesome!

Use to be a fun place to go as a kid. Now I pass by it most days not giving it a second thought. For its size and amount of stores I feel like I only visit the same small handful. Recently the mall has had multiple instances of violence including firearms and while they have increased the security it takes away from the family friendly atmosphere it use to have.

Huge mall...with a great variety of stores. First time I've been in years, I did all my sons school clothes and found lots of extra goodies for myself. Grabbed lunch and checked out the RC race track!

My biggest issue is that the mall is not very handicapped friendly in the sense that the most convenient handicap accessible entrance by The Cheesecake Factory has one handicap spot meanwhile the farthest entrance across the road has 20 and there are also constant problems with the escalators and elevators not working. I parked in one of the Cheesecake Factory parking spots because that's where I was eating and I also had my handicap sign in the window and they still towed me..$300 later and I am not a happy camper eith how they handle the disabled.

This is one of the biggest mall I have visited in upstate New York.If you are around an hour or 2 drive away then you should definitely visit.It opens at 10 in the morning to night 9pmIt has everything you can ask for from retail shops to one in all shops like Macy's, Nordstrom's, Burlington, TJ max,It has variety of food courts, boboa teas to coffee shops to dessert shops to restaurants like PF Chang's, Panera bread, cheesecake factory,they also have lot of entertainment for kids , like jungle gym, glow golf, 4D Max theater.And the also have FACTORY OUTLET STORES of Michal kors, Coach, Aeropostale,Various shoe stores DSW extra.You can check the stores on there website or app.1 day is not enough for going Around the mallBut its awesome. Do visit

Destiny USA in Syracuse is an impressive destination with a lot to offer. The sheer variety of stores, from high-end retailers to outlet shops, provides something for nearly every shopper. The entertainment options, such as go-kart racing and the comedy club, add a fun dimension that sets it apart from typical malls. Dining choices are plentiful and diverse, ranging from quick bites to full-service restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory.However, its massive size can be overwhelming and might require some planning to navigate effectively.

Destiny USA, located in Syracuse, New York, is an expansive and diverse destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Here are some key aspects of Destiny USA:Size and Scope: Destiny USA is New York’s largest shopping center and the sixth largest in the United States, encompassing a massive 2.4 million square feet. The complex is a super-regional shopping, dining, and entertainment hub, located on the shore of Onondaga Lake in Syracuse​​​​​​.Diverse Offerings: The center boasts over 250 places to shop, dine, and play. It includes a variety of offerings from luxury outlets to popular retail brands, alongside a broad range of dining options, from fast food to upscale restaurants. Entertainment options include a 19-screen Regal Cinemas, WonderWorks, Dave & Buster's, and the world's largest indoor rope course, among others​​​​​​.Visitor Attraction: Drawing in 26 million guests annually, Destiny USA is not just a local shopping venue but a tourist destination as well, attracting visitors from all 50 states, Canada, and other countries. Its convenient central location in Syracuse makes it easily accessible​​​​.Development and Expansion: The mall, originally opened in 1990 as Carousel Center, has undergone significant expansions and renovations. It was rebranded as Destiny USA in 2012, following extensive development which included new stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues. This expansion made it the largest mall in New York and one of the largest in the country​​.Recent Developments and Security Measures: In response to security concerns and a series of crimes starting in 2021, Destiny USA enhanced its security measures, including changes in visitor policies and increasing the presence of security officers. These measures were aimed at ensuring a safer environment for shoppers and visitors. In 2023, they installed Flock Safety cameras at every vehicular entrance to track license plates and alert the police about wanted or stolen vehicles arriving at the mall​​​​​​.Continuous Evolution: Destiny USA continues to evolve, adding new brands and experiences to offer a unique and dynamic consumer shopping experience. Recent additions include Anthropologie, Ardene, Dry Goods, Earthbound Trading Co, FYE, Hugo Boss, and Urban Outfitters, among others​​​​.Destiny USA stands out not only as a shopping center but also as an entertainment and dining hub, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences, making it a significant landmark in Syracuse, New York.On a personal note, we had a blast there as a family. Having not been to a mall since the 90s, it was unbelievable how much fun we had and the types of experiences they had within the shopping center. Some of our personal favorites were the ropes course and the science experience. You can see I posted some of the photos of the science experience. It was a great stop to break up the trip on our way to the Adirondacks from Buffalo, New York. Perfect for all ages.

Very family friendly mall with a lot of activities for kids, including the famous carousel, a ropes course two floors up, go carts, animal scooters, several toy/game/comics stores, and Tykes Tuesdays festivals with performers like Andyroo & the Andyrooniverse!

Largest mall Ive ever been to and good to see there are still some surviving malls out there. 4+ floors, not bombed out like most malls, busy, a ton of stores and entertainment.Clean, not ghetto, and absolutely worth a visit!

We drive 1 hour and 1/2 to visit Destiny USA, our kids love this place specially food games.

For a mall of its size, the lack of people here was very surprising, especially on a Friday evening. We have been to the large malls in CT, MA, and NH recently and they all had significantly more foot traffic and more interesting stores, even though they are maybe only 50%-60% the square footage of Destiny USA. I don't know the background behind the 18+ policy so maybe it's helped with safety and shoplifting, but it also seems to be killing the foot traffic.

I am visiting from Canada and we chose this mall as it is closest to my city. I've been to this mall on multiple locations throughout various years and I've never been disappointed. It has a good mix of high-end shops like Kate Spade, Coach, etc to others like Five Below and Burlington. The same can be said about their food with the mix of food court regulars to others like Cheesecake Factory and Margaritaville. I really went on 2 floors plus the 2 shops on the base level and I was there from about 1030 til 4 with a break for food at the food court.

The businesses here are all gouged for rent and trying their best. Like the rest of the heart of America, there’s little focus on maintenance or infrastructure of the building itself and the functionality of the facility suffers greatly. The seats in the food court are latticed metal, splintering apart and hardly clean, for sure a flawed design, and they are from the 1990’s. They are the same kind found in Great Northern and Shoppingtown, which have both shut down and have left their half as used seats if Destiny ever wants to repurpose those (please?). Either way I’m always fearing puncturing a hole in myself, my clothes, staining my clothes or picking up some sort of nested vermin from them. The dust and dirty windows, the broken elevators and half functioning escalators. Here’s a friend I legit made today near the food court.

Great mall with a lot to experience. Stores, restaurants, arcades, movie theater, tons of activities for kids and adults. One of our faves is Build a Bear!

I really like this mall! It’s big, clean, and has lots to do for all ages. My grandkids love going there because there are so many things to do that they love! They have a very cool antique carousel and car racing to name a few.

Great selection of stores and places to eat! Also fun to just walk around

The mall really need Safety with metal detectors in the doors, for tighter security and control to prevent unnecessary attacks from criminals, to protect family's with kids! It is very important to ensure safety in a place meany to enjoy with your friends and family!

A great mall. Dinner at Dave and Buster's and then let my kids drive on the indoor racetrack.

A great and huge mall with so many things to do! Make sure you check directory from website so you can better plan your visit there. From merry go around, rides, arcade games (Dave’s buster), indoor playground(Billy beez), rope course, movies, and interactive museum, shopping, and food! Too much to list but you can go there for more than once to enjoy them! Everyone from family can find something fun to their interest:)

When I visited this mall for the first time I was amazed on how huge it was. The mall around my area is small but I got to tell you Destiny USA is the best mall ever. It’s not crowded even on the weekends, there are MANY fun activities for anyone to do. I recommend glow in the dark mini golf in the basement level for any Mini golfers. And if you like big arcades go to Dave and Busters! Great, well-kept mall!

Do not skip out on this museum! Great little find with a ton of information. I knew about the Erie Canal but did not appreciate the significance of it. The staff was excellent answering questions, offering tours and talking about the area.

The museum is very informative but a bit outdated. They have wonderful historical things to read but nowadays I think needs more interactive ness. Maybe this is due to Covid but who knows. They have a small kids section with a space for the young kids to color. This museum is more for older kids above 10 years old. It’s still worth checking out if you are interested in this piece of history of the area.

Great stop along the Freedom trail. Rich history full of heart warming and heartbreaking stories. Interesting antiques! This museum serves as a reminder, no matter how evil the world seems, there's always helpers trying to do good."In 1776, Americans adopted the Declaration of Independence, which stated that "all men are created equal." Yet, in 1860, four million people lived under slavery in the United States. Every year, as many as 1500 of these African Americans, at great risk to themselves, headed north toward freedom on what became known as the underground railroad. In New York State, Syracuse became the 'great central depot' on this Freedom Trail"

Great museum, very informative with interactive installations. Two floors with a lot of cool pieces upstairs as well as a children's area. The first floor also includes a line boat to walk through.This is also the welcome center and has a small gift shop. Definitely worth the visit.

This is a wonderful museum! Small but provides so much information about the construction of the Erie Canal without being overwhelming. There were several interactive exhibits as well.

Really informative museum. Detailed canal history shows the efforts to obtain a project and a work like this. No fee entry, but donations.

This is a wonderful museum with a greatest staff. I went one day about 15 minutes before closing (4pm) then went back today to really tour. Both gentleman who were working were so very kind and inviting. This made my trip to Syracuse worth it!!!You will need a mask but if you don’t have one they will provide.There is so much History here! They have a 15-20 minute video on history before and after construction which is very good. It’s in a large room so not a small cramped area.They have a boat that was used to go down canal that you can walk through and take photos. I also learned that the street (Erie Canal Blvd) is where the canal ran until 1920.The Erie Canal was 363 miles long and ran from Albany to Buffalo. The grand opening was October 26, 1825. They will celebrate 200 years in 2025. Most of the canal no longer exist but along the canal cities have historical markets etc to keep memory going.This museum is the last existing Weighlock station. I think there were originally 83.I really enjoyed everything about this museum and so happy that I went back to enjoy the exhibits etc. I highly recommend that you stop by to visit museum and give yourself at least an hour to tour.They also have a nice little gift shop with plenty of items to chose from; magnets, t-shirts, candy, wooden pencils, coaster, books about Erie Canal for adults and children, and so much more!!It’s free but they would like if you donate $10 to museum. I definitely did do and spent quite a bit in gift shop both days!

This is a hidden gem. It is free (suggested 10 dollar donation). If you are in Syracuse and a history or civil engineering buff, you must come here.Before there was Hoover Dam, there was the Erie Canal.

We were welcomed by a wonderful staff member who was clearly well informed. We did the tour by following the arrows as advised, it was perfect. There are some interactive parts and lots of information readily available.There were spots where there were questions on dark red signs asking you to think deeper on a given topic which culminated in an opportunity to share your thoughts on the second floor.My favourite part was the boat you can walked through. The blue dress in the second floor is a close second because of how beautiful it is.

Amazing exhibit of the transportation method that turned New York State into an empire.The exhibit has some but not many spaces that are interactive for kids.A promise of offering indigenous perspectives, for whom European expansion was a genocide, is promised.

Great museum if you are interested in learning about the Erie Canal and life of the people who worked/lived there. I loved all of the history and culture, learning about this mode of transportation while gleaning a little insight on Syracuse NY.

Small but interesting museum to show the history of the Erie Canal as well as how it transformed the economic landscape of this part of NY state. Admission is 10 for adult and 4 for children. If you go there on Sunday, there is free parking just on the road outside. There is also a model barge housed in the historic weighing toll station. The videos are quite educational to explain how the weight station and lock work. The photos will transform you back to the early days of canal construction and operation.

Free entry museum (donations recommended) with a cute gift shop inside. The first floor is mostly for the canal, the second floor is other localized history. Super neat! There's also a canal boat you can walk through. Restrooms are on the second floor.

Very educational. Engaging for adults and kids. Worth checking out if you're in town

The Erie Canal Museum proved to be an exceptional venue for our recent Librarian Networking event, accommodating 30 guests with ease. The turnout was fantastic, and attendees thoroughly enjoyed their time exploring this historic gem.Our tour guides were both knowledgeable and friendly, offering insightful commentary that enriched our understanding of the canal's significance. The museum's space itself is a testament to its unique charm, providing a beautiful backdrop for our gathering.One of the highlights of our experience was undoubtedly the professionalism and helpfulness of the museum staff. From the initial planning stages to the execution of the event, they were a pleasure to work with, ensuring everything ran smoothly and efficiently.Overall, the Erie Canal Museum exceeded our expectations as a venue, offering both an enriching experience and excellent service. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to host an event with a touch of history and charm.

This place doesn't excellent job at hosting schools for field trips. They do have on hand learning hunts that are available. However, we made our own escape room hunt for our students. It took them just over 2 hours to do for middle school and they absolutely loved that all the exhibits were hands-on for them. The best part was that they could go on to the barge and they really enjoyed being able to complete the activities at different exhibits. Bringing them back next year.

A small but very interesting museum. We were just passing through, and decided to check this out. We didn't know anything about the Erie canal prior to our visit.The museum is in an actual weigh-lock that was part of the canal's system of weighing barges to collect tolls. The museum consists of displays detailing the construction of the canal, and its importance, and you can walk through a barge and look at the old office. Upstairs are a few displays of the interiors of period buildings (not as interesting as downstairs). There is also a small gift shop, with a selection of books on the canal.Well worth a visit.

Highly recommend! It's located in the original weighlock building from when the canal ran through Syracuse. Free entry (recommended $10 donation). I learned a TON about the region's history and the significance of the canal system. They have a couple of canal boats preserved; you can walk through one. There's a small gift shop. I got through in 2 hours while reading everything.
