Cabela's

Reviewed By Mr H - Bernardsville, New Jersey

A Paradise for hunters and fisherman. They even have their own restaurant serving 2 and 4 legged wild meat. (hopefully not from the stuffed animals hanging and standing around the store.) Seriously,...they do have an awesome selection of quality sporting goods at reasonable prices.

Port Clinton Peanut Shop

Reviewed By Adam S - Vashon, Washington

Old fashioned candy shop with LOTS of bulk and pre-packaged candy as well as peanuts. Not much room to move and parking is on the street right out front. If you like classic candy this is the place to visit!

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary

A 2,400-acre natural area that was the world's first refuge for raptors.

Reviewed By Johnny J - Baltimore, Maryland

We had a delightful fall afternoon hike at Hawk Mt. We had not been in years. Not real busy. Hiked out to the overlooks and to see the Slide and Sunset viewpoint. Leaves were starting to change. First time we ever remember it not being windy. Did not see any hawks, but saw some deer and the views are gorgeous. Staff was friendly. Visitors Center well done and restrooms clean. Hiking paths good for all.

Roadside America

Reviewed By glc215 - Mc Donald, Tennessee

So happy to see that this special place is still open and running. Such a cool place for kids. Very affordable, and you must see the nighttime show. Use to visit there as a child and was thrilled to be able to take my children there. Free parking and they offer a military discount. My daughter loved pushing different buttons that moved trains or did other things. If you take the time to read the signs, it is also educational. Extremely happy with our overall experience there.

Long Trout Winery

Reviewed By IslandGirlTraveler - Hershey, Pennsylvania

This winery is set in a scenic mountain side area. The atmosphere is lovely with great outdoor space for enjoying your wine, food etc...the inside is whacked out in hippy eclectic Beatles memorabilia. It's interesting to have a look around. The wines all have crazy names, and our tasting was free. The lady doing our tasting was lovely as well. We tried about 8 wines and I really just could t find anything that pleased my palate. I typically enjoy semi dry or semi sweet wines, everything just seemed a lot more on the dry side, so if that's your palate, you may enjoy it a lot more. We ended buying a bottle of strawberry fields, and we don't usually buy fruit wines. We tipped the kind lady and looked around some more. It's off the beaten path. I would say try it once and see.

Blue Rocks Family Campground

Reviewed By Erin C - Gap, Pennsylvania

I booked Cabin 4 here based on the website, which unfortunately was lacking vital info. First, Cabins 1-4 are on a steep, rocky, hill, which made my children slip, slide and fall every time I turned around. Second, the website does not clearly say anywhere that the cabins are walk-in sites. Given that I was traveling as a single mom, had I known this, I would have selected another campground for cabin camping--and will do so in the future.

Cigar International

Reviewed By John V

Took the road trip after CigarFest to the Hamburg Super Store. Large selection, helpful staff, great bar and an upper outside deck that has fantastic views. Did not find any real deals on pricing and you have the privilege of paying PA State Tax which we do not have when purchasing online. Definitely worth the stop in and having a cigar and beverage up on the deck.

Reading Railroad Heritage Museum

Reviewed By MEEEK - Suffern, New York

I rated 5 stars based on the tour (primarily of the yard) and the DVD which is shown. I suggest that you take the tour first, particularly if you're going during the warm weather, and then relax in the air conditioned theater, to watch the DVD. Our tour guide, Fred Phillips, was extremely knowledgeable, and while the content got, perhaps, a little too technical for me, at times, his presentation was excellent! The tour is definitely for the serious train enthusiast! My son and I really enjoyed it, though, and learned a lot. The museum itself has an exhibit about train-related bridges, a model train layout, tools used to operate the trains, and other train things.
