Early morning we saw an eagle having fish for breakfast. I saw the eagle swimming with its wings, as it had the fish in its talons and was going for a dead log in the water to eat. The nights were a little cool as Harold was bringing in the weather. Its a beautiful place to enjoy the great outdoors, lots of wildlife and lovely people.

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.

Both an operating business and tourist attraction located in the north Pocono region highlighting the commercial ice business both past and present.
We went during their "Cabin Fever" event when the "tourist" part of the business is flourishing. Inside a large barn are extensive ice carvings of a variety of characters, a reindeer, lighthouse and a huge dual track ice slide. These were carved from ice they produced on sight. A winery had a booth and was giving out free tastings and there was free hot chocolate. After leaving the barn, you walked down the hill to the office, museum gift shop and production facility.
The museum has a continuous video featuring film from the 20's showing how ice was harvested for the ice boxes in homes of the era as well as pictures and tolls of the era.
In the production facility is where the 300 lb blocks of crystal clear ice are made. They are sold whole to ice sculptors or they can produce full or partial designs using a CNC lath, which is fascinating to watch.
There is food available and on this Saturday a pony ride and petting zoo was set up.
It was enjoyable activity for part of an afternoon.
4. Tobyhanna State Park

Stopped for over an hour to have a semi-picnic lunch and hike a short ways on main trail that circles the lake. Weekday early afternoon so not crowded, but seems to be a popular spot - met some European tourists there. Park attendees were all active either hiking or boating or fishing. Sunny breezy day for all to enjoy.
5. Skytop Lodge's Adventures

My girlfriend had never gone ziplining before. We choose Skytop. The courses are usually packaged with a full adventure tour, but we were only interested in the zipline. If you only choose this, they run only at 10:00 am.
Our guide was Joanna, an athletic girl from Poland, who was very thorough in explaining how to zipline and the proper safety measures to take.
There are 7 lines, the last one 100' long. The height is only about 20-35 feet above the ground - perfect for beginners who are apprehensive about heights.
When you call for reservations, make sure you get the exact location. Don't go to the lodge! Wear hiking boots or closed toes. It was a nice, cool day so no bugs - but bring bug spray. Ladies with long hair - bring a hair tie.
The guides during the summer are foreigners but that's okay! They speak English very well! Arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of your appointment to fill out waivers, pay, etc.
It can't hurt to ask what the size of the group is. You'll have more fun with a smaller group like we did!
Zip away!!!!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Family-owned, homemade candy with lots of history. The "museum" here is a small collection of the old instruments used in candy-making. We spent about 10 min looking around w/ young kids. Then over to the candy shop -- hard to believe the wide assortment of candy they make and carry. Everything chocolate you can think of. They also have the glass counter up front where you can pick-and-choose chocolates by the piece/weight. The chocolate we had was very good! Very friendly staff. This is 5-min down the road from the Callie's Pretzel Shop.
