A classic magnificent campus in the heart of a bustling & charming historic town that maintains centuries of tradition, alongside state of the art libraries, museums, facilities & a magnificent chapel.

Beautiful grounds and buildings. Farmers market (limited dates) was very interesting with many types of foods to sample and buy. Outdoor market was primarily veggies. An alternate area was available to get information on the grounds and activities for the environment. Also had hiking and bicycle paths. Would be very nice to go spring or early fall. I think tours are available by reservation.

Take a walk through the park any time of the year. We went in early March and enjoyed a brisk walk on the path. Midway, the park was quiet and peaceful. The scenery is an interesting break from the hustle bustle of the city.

I enjoyed playing Neshanic Valley. It was my first trip to the area and I paired up with a twosome. We played a four hour round on Saturday late morning. That's pretty good. Course is very interesting. Greens were great. I'll definitely come back.

Foxtails name says it all. Very friendly staff. The more you tip, the friendlier it is. Food is surprisingly good but the "dessert" is even better.

We've only been once but had a ton of fun and will definitely be back. Staff was a little rude (acted super annoyed when we asked questions about pricing and how it all worked) but we didn't have to interact with them at all after that and had a really good time! They have so many games!!

Reviewed By David G - Hillsborough, New Jersey
You won't find the blockbusters or many kids movies here, but the movies that get nominated and win Oscars. American and foreign movies with 6 comfortable screens. Anolder crowd that pays attention to the story on the screen and not their phone.

This rink is an old style roller skating rink. It has a very large wooden floor in decent condition. The music ranges from Top 40 to Hip Hop. It also has an arcade area, skate rentals, and a snack bar.
Pros:
Large wooden floor
Friendly staff
Reasonable prices
Bathrooms remodeled a few years ago
Cons:
It has a smell
Floor not cleaned well, wheels pick up a lot of dirt
Carpet needs a good cleaning / replacement
Snack bar doesn't have many choices
- very thin pizza
- nachos & cheese
- pretzels
- soda
- slushies
There are public skating sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Private sessions are available at other times.

The Art Museum on the Princeton University campus is small but when it comes to the masterpieces on exhibit, the museum is on par with New York’s Metropolitan. There are great works by Picasso, Braque, Cezanne, American artists like Remington, Gilbert Stuart, Stuart Davis and Georgia O’Keefe. And best of all it’s Free. There are great restaurants and shoppes just a few yards away. So visit the Art Museum and the classy town of Princeton.
