We love going here with the kids. Especially on a hot day. The view is spectacular and the small museum is great. It does not take long and is very interesting. They have rocking chairs and checkers set up so if you just want to rest you can. I also like the coupons they have. Great place to start your visit to the lake area.

We departed at 1230 from beavers and went to 5 others bars and spent about an hour at each one. The captain was extremely friendly and a good dj. A great idea for bachelor/bachelorette parties.Hey Brandon, Glad to hear that you had a great time! Wish you would have given us 5 star but we'll take it. Thanks!

This beachfront restaurant and bar is a sprawling complex which includes a campsite and boat rental. We thought the food would be mediocre, but to our surprise it was excellent. They really do have some of the best fries you've ever tasted. The drinks are delicious, if not a little overpriced. A frozen drink will run you $8 to $10. Service was very fast and accurate. The staff works like a well-oiled machine.

We showed up and were taken into his “work shop” . Where he came out and started joking with the crowd of 20 + people. He told us how he got started which was when he was 16 making beer for friend’s. Then he walked us into his life one story at a time this was very interesting. He also had a batch of something I can not remember what it was called but we could look into it and smell it then he told us what it was and what he did with it . He also showed us how he makes Apple Spice Moon Shine. After wards we got to buy product and he has a sheet of paper so that you know what to mix with what. This is a 5 star attraction for sure.

The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church is dedicated to Mary and all mothers. Our mission is to promote a true appreciation of motherhood, the preciousness of life and the integrity of the family. The Shrine has become known as The Mother's Shrine because of our Mother's Wall of Life. We have a beautiful outdoor grotto where we celebrate pilgrimages, mass, and other celebrations. The Shrine was dedicated in 1992 with the installation of the sculpture of Mary. It was formally designated a National Shrine in 2003. We have a church on site, St. Patrick's Shrine Church. We also have a gift shop and we have several festivals throughout the year. Christmas Festival of Lights is from Thanksgiving to New Years. Come drive through and sip a hot beverage while you look in the gift shop. Our business office hours are 8am-4pm Monday-Friday. The Shrine is open from 6am-10pm Daily. Come see our beautiful tribute to Mothers.

Took my 4 year old grandchild on the morning treasure hunt cruise. There was a birthday party group along as well. The cruise staff was awesome! They were all really upbeat and stayed in character.
I can't say enough good things about the staff.
They took the kids across the lake and on land for the treasure hunt. This is a blast for the kids. They each had a turn at the wheel and could run all over safely.
Dressing as a pirate is the best way to attend and keeps spirits high. My kiddo could not stop talking about it and wants to go back.
If you are looking for s fantastic, memorable time--this is it!
I will definitely go back! It would be good fun for an adult event I am certain!
They also have a very cool bar and restaurant with gift shop. We did not eat there but if time permits will next time. The bar has a boat in back of it, very cool.
As if that were not enough, they had a live parrot the kids could have stand on their arm or shoulder and a friendly dog! Love this place!
Watch and follow the signs on the road. My garmin had a crazy directions that were not accurate. Would check their website.

This place is comfortable but they allow smoking in half of it which moves through the whole restaurant/bar. Very friendly staff. Prices were reasonable. They even have a limo that will come and pick you up and take you back to where you are staying.

While the dam may be the main focal point, it's the area surrounding the dam that is really happening. Shops, restaurants and more line the road leading to the dam. It's cool to drive across, once on the other side their are scenic overlooks just a short turn to the left or right off the main road. If your in the area, this is the place to go!

Two adults and five children from 3-14 Ziplined today. The three lines were fun, but not super long or super thrilling. One of the adults and two of the children had zipped on a much longer course. The younger kids and the other adult were first timers. The equipment was very safe and felt secure.
Even the three year old was able to participate.
The hosts were very nice people. We enjoyed the visiting with them as well as the Ziplines! In addition to the Ziplines, there were toys-hula hoops, swings, soft yard darts, a fire pit, and other things for the kids to play. This was great while waiting for your turn or if some didn't want to participate.
One of the lines is likely to be accessible to persons with mobility difficulties-it starts and ends at ground level.
We enjoyed the couple of hours there. I would not recommend if you are experienced Zipliners looking for thrilling trips, but would highly recommend if you are a first timer, or if you have younger children or have physical disabilities.
