Steamtown National Historic Site

This small museum is all about steam engines and their contribution to America's economy in the 19th century.

If you love trains, this is the place to go! It's history is very interesting, and you can get right up close to view trains of different times. AND, you can ride one to another town, and back, which I would highly suggest!

PNC Field

Reviewed By Ellenlyn - Pennsylvania

We had such a nice day with family and friends. This field is home to the minor league Rail Riders (NY Yankee franchise). The players are fairly good to kids requesting autographs. At the end of the game we saw, they allowed little ones to run bases. You can order food delivered to your seat(for a fee). It's a great location - The field is immediately off route 81. There is a good shopping center, a cinemark, a visitor center and hotels nearby. Seat prices are reasonable ($10 -$14). You pay $2 to park and $4 for water. A nearby ski resort has summer water park and zip line activities so you really can make a weekend out of your ball game plans.

Claws 'N' Paws

Reviewed By ermagertz - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I greatly enjoyed seeing the animals during my visit, there is a nice variety and a lot to see. However, although I don't have any mobility issues, visitors should know that the terrain is rather uneven and in some areas a little tough to manuever, especially if, like us, you visit when it's been rainy. This did not in any way cause any issue for us to view the animals, but we just had to watch where we were going. Many of us get used to going places that are paved, flat, even and sort of forget ourselves and just tend to get into "forward" mode. This serves as a good reminder to stop, slow down, look around, take in nature, get off your phone, and pay attention to all of your surroundings. You can watch where are going and see all of the animals! I visit a lot of zoos and animal parks and I know how many people miss out on things. However I do want to make sure people are aware so if you don't want to drag a heavy stroller, wagon, or if it might aggravate a hip problem, you know. This is a nice sized place, you will want to allow some time to visit. When we visited there was an animal show which was very good, but check the website for info as it runs seasonally. Coupons are also available on the website and on the brochures. When we visited, their giraffe Jethro was new and they did daily feedings (I believe once per day). Please note that the only animals you can feed are in the petting zoo, so bring change. You cannot feed the other animals on exhibit. There are some nice paintings in the reptile house, and many informational signs on most exhibits. The majority of the park is in the woods so if it is a cool day, you might want to bring a coat or sweatshirt as it was much cooler there, especially in the morning.

The Lost Trails ATV Adventures

Reviewed By benweiss - Cooper City, Florida

Nice trails with a combination of rocky/muddy/rivery trails. Do not bring your good clothes or shoes. Wear preferably smooth boots and long jeans. No shorts. My ankle got slightly burned because I had short socks and the steam from the water hitting the engine rose up and created a slight burn. Wear long socks under your long jeans and should not be a issue. Stay toward the back of the pack and you can ham it up like I did. I did get a stern warning from the guy trailing us in the back but I didn't care because its extremely unlikely they will pull you off. Its about an hour long and that's about all you'll want. Your wrists will be tired after that unless your used to this kind of activity.

We love this place. Make sure you go to the right one. It is a great place for kids and the cider is yummy. In the early season you can get pear cider. It is good with champagne for a twist on mimosas.

Filingo Fly Fishing

FilingoFlyFishing is a company based upon teaching people all aspects of the wonderful art of fly fishing. Anglers have the option of creeping through the woods to try and catch beautiful brook trout, or relaxing as they float down the amazing Delaware River system in pursuit of large, wild brown and rainbow trout. There is so much amazing water in the Northeast United States. Lets explore!

Reviewed By Tim H

My day floating down the Delaware river catching trout with Jesse was awesome. Jesse is very knowledgeable about fly fishing, especially about trout! He taught me a ton. I was fairly familiar with reel fishing before this trip but I had never fly fished before....MoreTim, Hey man thanks for the great review and great time on the water! It was great fishing with the two of you, and that rainbow was a total highlight considering you've never fly fished before. Can't wait until next time my friend!

Worth it all just to stop in for a sniff and a sample...but its hard to stop there. What one can do with chocolate is quite sinful...and here is temptation after temptation. We always get more that what we want, and then regret we didn't get more!

The Electric City Trolley Station and Museum

Reviewed By John L - Medina, Ohio

I have never known much about trolleys. When I lived in Pittsburgh, you could ride the trolleys in town and across the Mon in the south hills, so when I visited the museum I learned about the cars, their propulsion, and those little details that humanize cold steel and wood. One of most interesting features of the museum is a ride on a five-mile (ten miles total) trolley out to Scranton's AAA baseball field. It was quite a trip. There is an excellent bookstore and gift shop. I highly recommend this. In addition, it is next door to Steamtown so you can get all steamed up in the morning and then ride in an electric streetcar. What a deal!

Lots of nick knacks and do dads. Not the largest variety of useful souvenirs, but many tacky t-shirts and county things. The typical supply of knockoff tin signs. But the food was outstanding! Huge portions of fresh food. Strap on your feed bag!!! If you...MoreThanks for the great Feedback! Please tell all your friends.

There is a ton to do here! It is easy to get in and out of the plaza and there is plenty of parking!
It's all outside so if so go on a busy, rainy, day make sure to take an umbrella to go between stores and your car.
