The animals we saw here were ducks, peacocks, goats, chickens, alpacas, sheep, calves, cows, horse and a pig. Some animals let us pet them. The ice cream was good, although the line can get quite long on a hot day (proof that people like the ice cream.) They also have toys for the kids to play with when you are done eating your ice cream.

Beautifully kept park. We seek about places we haven't been to for hiking. I was looking at another park when this popped up. I had just finished a book where the main character was Francis Slocum. It is an amazing story about a young Quaker girl that was taken by the Delaware Indians.
So...not only is this park well kept, had lots of bathrooms for those of us that are bladder challenged, is loaded with trains, family friendly playgrounds, bird watching, boat rentals, camping, fishing, and hiking on various types of terrain. In the colder weather they have sledding and ice skating.
Awesome place!

It's an institution! Ellis Market Catering provides the buffet that's worth paying the little extra for dinner and show pricing. Ice cream bar for dessert. They put on EXCELLENT shows here! Though it's community theater; hard work goes into every performance, and it shows. You won't be disappointed.

Too busy! Quiet room too small. No place to sit pre or post massage. Not relaxing. They need to expand the quiet room for a more relaxing experience...or don't overbook!

I visited for a charity event and was BLOWN AWAY. I have been to many breweries and tasting rooms. From the outside, SBC looks a bit industrial. Inside, the tasting room is as warm and friendly as a neighborhood pub.
The beers are exceptional. Pick a favorite? That's hard. The lager was a workingman's everyday dream. The imperial stout was divine. I am not big on shandy's so I skipped those.
All in all, I can't wait to go back.

We've seen many shows at the Kirby Center and I highly recommend it. It's beautiful inside and always clean and well maintained. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. Some seats you can see the stage better depending on the event you're attending but your experience there isn't ruined by any bad seating. We were fortunate enough to get front row seats for our favorite band a few years ago and if you ever have the chance to splurge to see your one favorite, DO IT! It was a once in a lifetime thing I'm glad we spent the extra money.

Very nice experience.
A place to eat in the middle of nowhere.
Eric, our server was very professional and very friendly.
We ordered a tuna melt which it was fabulous and a tuna salad.
French fries and soda.
The salad was also very fresh.
Liked very much the place, and old lodge, rustic !
Very glad that we stopped there for lunch.

I usually go to antique stores in stroudsburg, etc. I decided to go to this one closer to home. They were supposed to be opened until 5. My husband and I were greeted to a sign in the door saying they decided to close that day. We were pretty excited being that we love antiques. Next time I'll try my luck out of this area.

Went to a hockey game to watch WBS Penguins play. A nice sized venue with good seating from anywhere in the arena. Easy access to restrooms and food vendors. Parking is a bit unfriendly with all the menuvering around cones and lanes to come in and out.
