2. New York Zipline Canopy Tours
Overall Ratings
5 based on 300 reviews
Three attractions to choose from Mild to Wild including one of the Longest, Highest and Fastest Zipline Tours in North America, the Skyrider Tour. The Skyrider begins with 3,200ft dual ziplines at over 600ft above the canopy! This extreme activity is Not for Everyone! Our Mid-Mountain tour is slightly more mild, zipping from tree to tree within the canopy. This activity is fun for the whole family and a great place to take your first zipline adventure. Our zipline tours last approximately 3 hours and are lead by professionaly trained (and very entertaining) tour guides. Weight and hight restrictions apply, reservations are required.

This place is amazing! My husband and I paid for the SkyRider tour. I chickened out at the last minute and they were SOOOO nice and patient about it. My husband however did it and LOVED it! He said that it was the best zipline experience ever (and he has ziplined over a waterfall in Honduras)! The views are breathtaking and make for some great photo ops! The staff is soooo nice! Greg has the best jokes! They have the best customer service we have ever experienced! Even the car ride to Hunter Mtn is so nice. We pulled over and took several pictures! They definitely have a special thing going on there!

I've been going to Zoom Flume for more years than I can remember, and I've always enjoyed it. They've recently added new attractions (zip lines, a big new slide, etc.) and done some really nice upgrades (lots of spiffy new railings, etc.), and safety improvements (scales on the big slides to ensure guests are of the appropriate weight). The part is nestled in the woods with spectacular views of several of the Catskill high peaks. We usually pack our lunches, but for our visit yesterday I bought a Groupon which included lunch, so we had the chicken strips, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was better than most restaurants; certainly WAY better than you might expect from an amusement park.

Wonderful place to walk or take family for a stroll. Path can be a bit crowded on weekends when the weekender crowd arrives. Still a wonderful place to go. For a more true "hiking" experience, try the FUN loop 2 miles up the road. It is relatively flat, but more natural and not as crowded.
5. Hunter Mountain
Overall Ratings
4 based on 378 reviews
Popular ski resort providing excellent runs and trails for downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowtubing and snowshoeing.
Reviewed By JohnandJaneS - Elmira, New York
When you're not there to ski consider hiking the trails. Its 2 miles and an 800 foot climb to the summit of the mountain where there's a fire tower with the best view in the Catskills. The ski lift runs weekends from Memorial Day until mid October and weekdays in the summer. Check the schedule online. On weekends from Memorial Day to Columbus Day the tower observation cab and the fire observers cabin are open to the public and volunteers are there to answer questions and point out the sights from the tower. The mountain has over 15 miles of beautiful marked trails for hiking. Great place to visit.....even if ski season is over.

Small family winery open for Tastings/Sales Sunday through Friday 1 pm - 6 pm and Saturday 1 pm - 7 pm
Reviewed By Karen C - Montclair, New Jersey
We were staying close by so decided to stop by one afternoon. I am a dry wine drinker so I was disappointed at the lack of choices. I decided to try a dessert wine, raspberry which was very sweet. They did not have many choices for a wine tasting so we each ordered a glass of different wine and shared. They have a nice sitting room with couches and large chairs which made it comfortable to sip wine and talk. They also had board games if you wanted to stay for a while. No food is served.

Very nice course, could be maintained a little better, especially in and around the greens. I found the staff very nice and helpful. As noted @ $75 to pay a round of golf is a pricey and would probably hold me back from paying there again. A price point of $50 - $55 would keep me coming back. Overall nice course with beautiful views.

During the Christmas holidays my family and I stopped by the Gallery On Main. It is a fine art gallery that features amazing art from both internationally and nationally known artists. We were greeted by the two gallery managers that were very helpful in discussing each artist. What makes this gallery different from others in the area is that it features not only paintings, but large sculptures made from marble, copper, stone and metal. It also features folk art, Adirondack and beautiful custom made furniture. We were very pleased with the quality of the art that this gallery presents. We would suggest a visit for everyone that visits the beautiful hamlet of Windham, NY

10. Christman's Windham House

Reviewed By Bill S - Ballston Lake, New York
I went here with a family member to play golf. The course is exceptionally maintained and provides great views of the Catskills. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Setting a tee time was easy and a cart was waiting for us as soon as we arrived. We arrived early weretold we could play a hole or two before ours tee time on the executive course. They have a 9 hole course ( The Valley Course) near the clubhouse and the 18 hole is across the street on the mountain. The Christman's offer more than golf at their facility. Golf was reasonably priced. See website for rates. They offer rooms and dining set in a mountain atmosphere. A great gem in the Catskills.
