1. Mountain Creek Riding Stables

4.5 based on 68 reviews
Reviewed By Emily A
This place was great! My husband and I chose to come to Mountain Creek from Jim Thorpe over Deer Path due to bad reviews for the latter. The staff here were friendly and knowledgable. We were the ones riding after a weeks worth of rain, so it was a private ride. The trail, for the most part, was beautiful. We saw deer and a bunch of wild Turkey. The horses were sweet and friendly. We even got to try trotting twice- it was so much fun. Totally worth the drive!

Our son has been wanting to try using a gun. The range has a large selection of guns to choose from which was the reason we picked this particular venue. My husband said that they were super professional, well run and friendly. They give safety...MoreHi there, I'm happy to hear your husband and son had such a great time learning with us!

You have a clean run place. Food is tasty. They have a movie theater and it is very cool as you can order your food, and they fix it all and bring it to you in the theater. Seats very comfortable. We like it. And after your meal or movie and a meal you can get a scoop or 4 of them with Hershey's hard ice cream. They must have 20 plus flavors. Great family business people that care.
4. Skytop Lodge's Adventures
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 152 reviews

My girlfriend had never gone ziplining before. We choose Skytop. The courses are usually packaged with a full adventure tour, but we were only interested in the zipline. If you only choose this, they run only at 10:00 am.
Our guide was Joanna, an athletic girl from Poland, who was very thorough in explaining how to zipline and the proper safety measures to take.
There are 7 lines, the last one 100' long. The height is only about 20-35 feet above the ground - perfect for beginners who are apprehensive about heights.
When you call for reservations, make sure you get the exact location. Don't go to the lodge! Wear hiking boots or closed toes. It was a nice, cool day so no bugs - but bring bug spray. Ladies with long hair - bring a hair tie.
The guides during the summer are foreigners but that's okay! They speak English very well! Arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of your appointment to fill out waivers, pay, etc.
It can't hurt to ask what the size of the group is. You'll have more fun with a smaller group like we did!
Zip away!!!!

6. Callie's Pretzel Factory

I revisited Callie's Pretzel Factory before Christmas to purchase some gifts for the holidays. They are still giving out free samples. You can still see the pretzel production line and a ten minute video which is a step by step demonstration of the pretzel making process. It's a self guided tour and free. At one o'clock they have a live demonstration and the kids love to try their hand at pretzel making. The pretzels are hot and fresh as they come out. They only make 3-4 of each flavor and only a few batches. After you take the short factory tour, the trail brings you into room after room of packaged pretzels of many kinds. Pizza, everything gluten & salt free, cheddar chocolate,, jalapeno and bacon to name a few. Additionally, they sell gourmet popcorn potato chips and home made sodas. The front of the store is where you pay and they have a large display case of individual pretzels for sale. It is also the place to get free samples. They will heat the pretzels in the microwave if you request it. On the porch they sell hot dogs and have condiments to top your dog or pretzel with. There products are also available online at the website. I bought quite a few treats as stocking stuffers.

I had a really great time here spending about an hour browsing the many rooms filled with candles, jewelry, purses, all manner of bric-a-brac and knick knacks. The young lady who was working was very friendly, relaxed and smiling. We chatted for several minutes about several topics. I bought some soy candles, artsy totes, boot socks, and a child's craft kit - all Christmas gifts. I love that the candles are made locally. You really must check out the merchandise and the beautiful old mansion. I shall return to take the haunted history tour of the house, and of course to do more shopping. One visit is not enough to check out the floor to ceiling goods! Fun, fun shop!

Great waterpark. Tons for the kids to do; swim up bar for adults. The way that they issue tickets is very unorganized with people standing on line to be served at 3 window. This process must cause huge backups in the lines. Should be redesigned.

Stopped for over an hour to have a semi-picnic lunch and hike a short ways on main trail that circles the lake. Weekday early afternoon so not crowded, but seems to be a popular spot - met some European tourists there. Park attendees were all active either hiking or boating or fishing. Sunny breezy day for all to enjoy.
