- MikeM22ruggerTelford, PA467 contributionsVisited some family in the area and they had nothing but good things to say about this place and it certainly lived up to the hype.

- KindPathFinder13 contributionsVery interesting. If you have kids they will need to be alert and very well behaved on the tour. No touching or leaning against anything. I recommend 8+ for the tour. 8 only if they are very well behaved. We went to the Christmas display and loved the Victorian trees. I missed part of the tour due to my child needing a diaper change and being too loud. Not their fault but most historic tours are not great for 2 years olds so we waited outside but had a good time exploring the trees in the grounds and the museum. The kids actually liked this stop. Nice little gift shop too. Buchanan was more interesting than we had expected.Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lexer75Miami, FL447 contributionsWe were the first ones to arrive at the park that day. It was a weird feeling. I thought to myself if this was a mistake the visit here. Wow, was I wrong. Yes, not all the rides were open, but we had a great time. My son had a blast. The park filled up later. We really enjoyed it here.Written 10 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bill GKingston, PA67 contributionsToo much to mention. The theatre folks were really friendly. Really!! We sat in the mezzanine. The seats were really comfy w/a great view of the stage. The Play!! OMG!! The cast members must have drank two pots of coffee a piece. They were so energetic! I'm not a Cultural kind of guy. But after you leave your Manly defenses down, WOW. Can't stop laughing. BTW, my Mrs enjoyed it so much!! CON, the parking. We are out of towners, Scranton, It took about 15 minutes to find the Enter sign of the parkade. All one way streets.Written 6 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KindPathFinder13 contributionsWe went during winter break just after Christmas and it was very quiet. The day we went the actors were on break but the woman who gave the tour was so information and delightful. We really enjoyed it. She was also very kind and accommodating to us since we have a toddler. Nice little museum and gift shop. We will be back!Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CharlesBristol, PA12 contributionsPennsylvania has a lot of history in the Christian faith. The landing of these brethren on the shores is important to the discussion of church and state.Written 25 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mama Travels156 contributionsDo not be put off that it is only a one-story Science museum! It has so much to offer with its various stations. We went on a first Friday (5 - 7 pm) when the fee is waived. It was crowded but my kids were never idle because there was always a station available for them to try and work at. The bubble station here worked very well (better than Port Discovery's) and we especially loved the sand art and the circuit table where they could figure things out themselves. There is also a small outdoor exhibit on rain barrels and recycling (reusing the water). It is a great place to visit especially if you just live near the area.Written 3 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul A1 contributionHow fortunate we all to have someone of Tyler’s immense intellect point out to us that the stadium is “facing the wrong direction.” Why wasn’t this man consulted during the engineering phase?
Cashless? Does that mean not having to wait behind the person rummaging through their change purse to find 29 cents on the $3.29 bill?Written 20 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark GCatonsville, MD2,913 contributionsTanger Outlets seem to be holding up much better than the Shops at Rockvale a mile or so down route 30, with mostly full store fronts and a who's who of national brands. We did notice though store opening hours were 10 am, Yankee Candle opened at 11 do to staffing shortages. This current administration is still paying people not to work and the store said it is a real problem finding help. This small outlet (70 stores) is well laid out and well taken care of, though can be a challenge during busy times.Written 10 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ndantonioNew York City, NY198 contributionsWe stayed at a nearby Airbnb and enjoyed the convenience of walking 2 blocks. On Sunday afternoon there was an 80 min wait and they don't take reservations so we put our name on the list and took a walk in the brisk February air. Once seated it was bustling and noisy but our busy waitress offered to bring beer samples when we couldn't decide on the many craft options. Food was decent, beer was good. We were a party of 6 old friends who hadn't seen each other in awhile and it was a bit too loud for lengthy conversation but overall a positive experience and might come again if in the area.Written 28 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
