This is the unforgiving spot where George Washington's weary troops passed the brutal winter of 1777-78.

Our Scout troop toured the encampment utilizing a Bluetooth speaker and the audio tour. It was a wealth of information over and above what our leaders were able to convey to the scouts. Two of them are history teachers and the audio tour was accurate to a tee it was a wonderful addition to our trip.

This is a great working farm to bring the family. They have fresh milk and milk products along with many other items available in the store. They also have seasonal plants and food for sale. It is fun to visit the animals while you are there. They also have a great Halloween display with hay rides, mazes, etc.

Made a little visit to The Stoogeum today, and it's basically a comedy fan's goldmine, especially if you're a gigantic Three Stooges fan. I've seen a couple of their shorts myself, and a few of their cartoon appearances, so I was semi-familiar with their catalogue. And even *I* was blown away by how extensive this place was. There are three levels. One has an art gallery of Stooges related art, one has a couple of Stooges arcade cabinets (including a Three Stooges pinball game and a modern Three Stooges ticket redemption game I think) and a number of artifacts, and one has a TON of goodies, like old lobby cards, old movie posters, old merchandise, lots of autographed pictures of the guest stars of many of those old Stooges shorts, and so much more. I actually spent an entire hour there (THAT I wasn't expecting), and I definitely plan on going back there, especially since I'm in the general neighborhood. If you're in the area and they're open (they're usually open on Thursdays from 10 to 3 or by appointment), go! It's a complete hidden gem of a location. It's tucked in behind an office park on a side street, but it is SO cool.

This zoo is small but when you have toddlers is perfect. The zoo has done an outstanding job to have variety, and it continues to renew itself. From feeding giraffes, birds, petting zoo, etc. My kid is only three, so we have not tried the zip line. However, my hubby has enjoyed their beer area and to top it off they have a great park So a membership is highly recommended or if you want to do something fun with kids and not spend hours walking around this place is fantastic.

Love this mall. It’s great that everyone goes to the other malls nearby. This mall is great for my 3yr old to walk/run in without getting lost in a crowd. There is a carrousel and a play area. And we love chick fil a. Legoland was just added and they do many free events through the year for children.
6. Ambler Theater

The Ambler Theater, built in 1928, is a modified Spanish design. It is a nonprofit community-owned theater with approximately 6,000 members. The theater seats 140 and 110 in 2 of the auditoriums. Renovations to the third auditorium were completed in 2007 and it seats 270. The theater features dolby digital sound, stadium seating, handicap access and hearing impaired services.
Reviewed By Gary F - Maple Glen, Pennsylvania
The Ambler Theater is a local gem and an antidote to the horrid multiplex, cookie cutter theaters that predominate in the suburbs It is the closest movie experience to the Ritz theaters that we have in the suburbs. Much of the original architecture of an "ancient" movie palace have been retained. The lobby is small but authentic. So is the small refreshment stand.
Seats are comfortable and the theaters are small enough so the screen occupies much of your line of sight. The attendees are usually well behaved
and respectful of others.
Left for last is the outstanding moves that only Ambler brings to the screen - small independent productions, foreign films, documentaries, televised performances.

My second experience in an Escape Room. First was aboard a cruise ship. We won the first one, but wasn't sure it could be repeated. A corporate team-building activity brought us here. No spoilers, but the number of chambers and challenges in this were unique. They understand that players may only do this once, so they try to make the experience worthwhile, win or lose. We won, but the end was unexpected. I think I may quit while ahead.

Everything about this place is great. They run on time, their website is easy to navigate, the staff is wonderful (shout to Dan for being an awesome guide!) and the rooms are incredibly well designed. My friends and I had a blast in both the Revolution Spies and The Lab rooms. Thanks for giving us a great first and second escape room experience!!

A fascinating peek into the colonial era. Home and property are beautifully maintained and the events running all year are entertaining and educational for all ages. If you have kids, this connects directly to their history curriculum at some point - worth seeing and experiencing- a touch of Williamsburg, VA in our own backyards (But don't skip Williamsburg- it's AMAZING!)

Really Cooking with Robin is like no other cooking school. Great for Team Building, parties of all kinds kids and adults. It is fun, no frills approach to cooking. We cook from the heart and are constantly learning new ways to create. Although we teach from recipes, we do encourage students to put their own twist on it and experiment, it's all about having fun!

Sundays and Mondays are by appointment only We guarantee you will leave happy, full and wanting more.

What I worried may have been just a standard cooking lesson turned out to be a great night of learning, eating and socializing. Run by Robin and her husband the converted storefront welcomes you from the minute you walk in. After getting acquainted everyone gets a position around a square working area with penty of room and supplies to make your cheese. Robin is very organized so the process runs smoothly and is great fun. In between making your first ball of Mozzarella there is time to eat your personally made Mozz salad and the baked pizza your prepare for yourself. Then back to the workstation for the second half of the lesson. Because they are so organized there is a lot of time to enjoy the process and chat with the owners and attendees. Ended the night with Robin's brownies and coffee. Even though many of us drove a distance for the class, there was no rush to leave and we sat and chatted for at least another 30 minutes. Robin does various cooking classes for both adults and kids, she is such an enjoyable teacher I'm sure both audiences would enjoy the time there.
