Came here for a good, albeit chilly 2 hour trail walk on a cold, November day with one of my out-of town sisters, The leaves had a good bit of color on them still, the trails are well-maintained, but very poorly marked. Nearly everyone we passed had a hard time finding the trails correctly. We did not get lost, just did a lot of wandering, but it was all enjoyable. Consider using the audible cell phone walking tour to help you get around and learn great tidbits about what you are seeing trailside. The ponds are beautiful.

I loved it very cleaned and respectful people that come visit this beach and with a convenient store that sells cooked food and the restroom and shower and parking all there close by the beach. My kids loved it.

The grounds are lovely and the home is wonderful. Tours are limited to Thursday through Sunday at 1pm and have a $12 charge. There is an attractive cafe also. We enjoyed walking around looking at the well maintained grounds and several weddings in progress.

I cannot recount how many times I have walked the trails of this beautiful park sandwiched between major roads in a populous suburban area. Could be 100 or more. But, when you are inside, it is you and nature, including a pond/lake big enough that you cannot see the whole thing from any spot; it took me 4 hours to walk around it. This park is beautiful in all seasons, but mostly in the fall and when it snows. I went kayaking on the pond one day and it was one of the most relaxing days I can remember. Great place. You have to drive there unless you live nearby, but walk once inside. There are entrances on three sides, though one fairly hidden (you have to drive through side streets) and one on a secondary road. Is it one of the world's great attractions? No. But, it is among the best LI has to offer.

When I checked into my room at the Residence Inn, I saw a ballpark outside the window. I looked it up online and saw that it was a professional (not MLB) baseball team ballpark and they were playing a playoff game that night. I love baseball and frequent our local MLB and AA team stadiums at home, so this was right up my alley.
Parking is across the street, but I could have (and should have) walked from my hotel. It is well lit, lots of people and 2 people at the cross street to the park who can answer questions.
Inside the park was very nice. Typical of minor league ball parks. The entertainment between innings was not as diverse as those at MLB minor league parks, but was still fun (just a t-shirt toss).
This was a playoff game an it was packed with families. As a solo person, I was able to get the seat right behind home plate, which was fun.
Definitely a great place to visit. I highly recommend it.

Wouldn't go anywhere else to see a movie. Buy tickets in advance online due to smaller theaters shows will sell out. Always is crowded so parking may be an issue get there early because there is usually a line for snacks.

Our family of four just escaped the Hidden Temple Room! What a fantastic time we had. The room was challenging, but not impossible. Our GameMaster Brandon was helpful and enthusiastic. He really made our day special. Also, Zach was super friendly when booking. Can't wait to go back and try another room. Thanks guys!

This was like a first date. You don't know what to expect. The clues were obscure but by the time we got the hang of it the clock ran out. We went with a big crowd and the room was small so we were elbowing each other the entire time. We did have fun and it took a lot of ingenuity as we started to roll and got though the letter locks and a number lock. Good thing I was tall enough to reach the top lock. I think the second time around it would be a four. Note that for those with phobias. There is a door you can leave through if you don't like it. The staff was extremely friendly and able to give you up to three clues. Go. Get frustrated and maybe have a glass of wine just before you go. No drinks or food served there. Then check it off your bucket list.
