Nice, peaceful place to walk through. Interesting rocks placed throughout park. We saw a turtle on our hike and enjoyed the pretty July day. There is a chapel and an interesting rock structure. Good place to take interesting photos for sure. It's odd that it is privately owned, I almost felt like I was on someone's property but I would definitely recommend it.

We went during their annual harvest fest and it was amazing. My 21 month old daughter loved the animals and running around the farm. She really enjoyed the pony rides as well. The fresh baked cookies, bread and pretzels are a must. The beekeeper show for kids was also fun. They have great food, music and lots of fun things for kids to do and it was only a $10 admission fee wth kids under 3 free. They also have homemade ice cream, pickles, desserts etc. There is a shuttle from the parking lot to the farm as well.

This is the second time we've paddled with EOW. Everyone is polite and knows what they're talking about. You can get a canoe anywhere- but you can't always find nice people who don't mind answering questions. They know everything there is to know about DWGNRA and are happy to help. I'll definately be back. Hopefully overnite canoe trip next time. Thanks!!

Whether making guitars for god (Eric Clapton) or mortals, Martin Guitar does all 300 steps by hand.
Reviewed By Hawkshoe - Pennsylvania
If you have any interest in how guitars are made, then you should definitely head to Nazareth, PA and take the tour of Martin's guitar factory. The tour lasts about an hour and takes you right into the action. You get to see all phases of the guitar making process happening feet/inches away. The only downside to the tour was that the group size is to large so those in the back are left not really being able to ask questions. You do where a headset so you can hear the explanation but If you are in the back, you aren't even looking at what is being described. Also, there is quite a bit of interference through the headset at times. Still, you can get a good feel for the production process.
In addition to the factory tour, there is a museum which is quite nice. It tells the history of the Martin business and has memorabilia. We spent about 45 minutes in the museum. There is also a store and a nice area where you can try out a few of the guitars for yourself.

First, if you miss the shuttle be prepared to hike straight up steep and muddy inclines to arrive at your destination. The destination is a fenced in area that houses very cool wolves, bobcats and foxes. That's it folks. You pay a sizable fee, used to support the preserve, to see a bunch of animals behind fences. We were disappointed that we could not walk through the preserve or get a closer look at these beautiful creatures. In addition, the staff is VERY rude and inflexible. They do NOTHING to make your stay more pleasant and if you are relying on donations to support your facility it may be a good idea to treat your guests with respect and kindness.

The kids love it here. I had my daughter's sixth birthday party here. It was very well organized. Before the party they followed up with an e-mail to make a final head count and to go over the final details. They do not provide a cake so you are free to bring your own which they will refrigerate till you are ready for it. The girl who took care of us was excellent with the kids. When it was time to eat she rounded them up like a champ. When it was time to go on the carrousel she got them in line for that. Time for the Ferris wheel, lets go kids. I loved it I did not have to do a thing. The kids had a great time and all at a reasonable price. The indoor play area is huge and outside they offer pony rides and a petting zoo. There are also batting cages which are a little run down but still functional. They offer paintball and a farmer's market seasonally on the weekends. The food is pretty crappy but I don't think anyone goes there for the food it is really about the fun. They also run a summer camp which looks absolutely fabulous but has a price tag to match. Over 200 a week. They also have an ice cream parlor with tons of flavors. All in all this is a great place to have some fun with the family.

Sarah was awesome! She explained all the wines very efficiently, and didn’t pass judgment on us ‘sweet’ wine connoisseurs.
However my daughter-in-law prefers very red dry wines and she said that they were some of the best wines she has ever had. And given her expertise and how many types of wine that would entail, that says quite a lot. We will definitely be back for a Friday night dinner. All the wines we tasted were excellent. There is a five dollar charge for a five choice winetasting, but they are free poured and Sarah did not chinch on the amounts.

I've been here a few times. Nice place, very laid back. Dart board in the corner, plenty of TVs with sports or other stuff on.
Beer is good priced and an OK selection (Yeungling, Goose Island, etc). Liquor selection is the basics, Jim Beam, J&B, Wild Turkey. No high end brands that I could see.
The staff is great. The bartender is fantastic. On my second visit she not only greeted me by name, she new what I was drinking.
The group I was with had wings and fries and said the wings are really good.
Nice place to hang out for a while and relax. Smoking is allowed, so if it bothers you, don't go.

We stopped in for a tasting. We had 6 with a glass for $5. Staff was great and very knowledgeable. Wine was delicious. Bought a couple of bottles to take home. We then at the restaurant. Brick oven pizza was very good. We had a nice crisp salad to begin, plus a pitcher of white sangria with apples and pineapple chunks. So delicious and refreshing. It was a beautiful fall day so we ate outside on the deck. Wonderful. Would definitely do this again if in the area.
